C873 Witnessing the History of the Wu Country
However, it was this simple gesture that shocked Yang Xuan. Although the girl's face was a little pale, she still looked quite young. It seemed like she was around 20 years old. However, her raised hand was covered with all kinds of wrinkles. It could be said that she was as thin as an old woman.
The woman merely smiled when she saw Yang Xuan's gaze sweep across her hand, and she didn't mind it at all.
Yang Xuan saw that the girl didn't have any ill intentions towards him. After hesitating for a moment, he also lifted his foot and walked inside. The others also looked at each other and followed after Yang Xuan.
Along the way, the girl told Yang Xuan some things about the Wizard Country.
It turned out that although the Wizard Country was the largest gathering place of Evil Cultivator in the entire continent, however, not everyone here was an Evil Cultivator. The cultivation of the Evil Cultivator depended on the flesh and blood of others as its feed. If all the Evil Cultivator slaughtered each other... Then they'll be extinct soon.
Although they couldn't kill each other, they still had to continue cultivating. In order to solve this problem, a mighty figure had thought of a way to solve this problem a long time ago. At that time, the Northern Domain had a very special status in the continent. This place had been a land of death since the creation of the world. No species had ever been able to grow and reproduce here. However, as the human race grew stronger and stronger, their ambitions also swelled under the urging of curiosity. A group of people arrived at Northern Domain.
Later on, they found that although the Northern Domain was barren, there were no living creatures living there. But because of the harsh environment, this place was a very good place for cultivators. Because there was a Spiritual Force storm here all year round, it was one of the easiest places to produce spirit veins. Moreover, even though the ground here was very cold, there were all kinds of geothermal resources underground. For example, some volcanoes or hot springs.
And with the help of these various types of energy sources, humanity began to develop here.
As for the emergence of the Wizard Country, it was because some spectral cultivators couldn't develop in the Central Province. That was why they hid in this place. They didn't build a country in the beginning, but a sect called the Myriad Ghost Sect. Later on, many branches appeared in the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect, and gradually evolved into small sects.
Just like that, as their power grew bigger and bigger, the Wizard Country was finally formed.
However, the first person to come to the Northern Domain and then the first person to cultivate in the Northern Domain was not the Evil Cultivator. Thus, these Evil Cultivator placed their attention on these other cultivators. However, if all these cultivators died in an instant, it would be very difficult to find another cultivator. However, if there weren't any cultivators, they wouldn't be able to increase their strength. Thus, they kept cultivators in their own cities. In order to survive, these cultivators... He must contribute part of the power and flesh he has cultivated to the lord of the city.
At this point, Yang Xuan finally understood the reason behind the withered arm of the woman in front of him. According to what the woman said, the people Yang Xuan saw at the city gate were like evil ghosts. They were the people who were abandoned because they couldn't provide enough strength and flesh in the city.
Normally, although cultivators were treated like pigs and dogs by the Evil Cultivator, they were still treated as abandoned animals. But as long as they could provide the Spiritual Force and flesh on time, they could still obtain sufficient resources. But if the portion given by cultivators was not enough, then they could only obtain food that could barely keep them alive.
"According to what you said, wouldn't I also have to offer sacrifices to City Lord's troops?" Yang Xuan frowned and asked with some hostility.
"Hehe, of course not." The girl chuckled and said to Yang Xuan, "This is the Wizard Country. According to the Evil Cultivator's style, we have another name on this continent. It's called the Evil Capital. As the name implies, there is no law in this place. Outsiders like you can have three days of immunity. During this period of time, I will always be by your side. If someone attacks you... City Lord will clean it up. The reason for this is so that new blood can enter our Wizard Country. But in three days' time, you all will have to follow the rules and perform the sacrifice."
" Oh?" Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked at the others behind him, and then said to the girl, "According to what you said, you can't come here without a certain amount of strength?"
"Of course not." The girl shook her head and said, "Since this place is called the Evil Capital, you can naturally use any means to obtain what you want. Every once in a while, we will hold an auction here. Many of them are things that are prohibited from being sold on this continent, but we can buy them here"
"For example?"
"For example, the Spirit Offering Pill, which has been listed as forbidden medicine for a long time, has been listed. After consuming this pill, one can obtain strength by consuming one's life force for a short period of time. Other than that, there are also all kinds of foreign race slaves and some ridiculously powerful cultivation techniques. "
The girl explained slowly, causing Yang Xuan's curiosity to rise.
Everyone followed the girl and walked forward. Soon, they passed through a place that was made up of tattered houses. When they passed by, Yang Xuan clearly saw that there were a lot of people here who were the same as the ones at the city gate. It seemed like this was the place where those abandoned cultivators lived.
Yang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, but he was no longer the same person who would do stupid things because of a momentary impulse. Furthermore, his purpose of coming to Wizard Country this time was to find his parents. Before finding his parents, even if something big happened in front of him... As long as it had nothing to do with Yang Xuan, he wouldn't say anything.
But luckily, after walking for more than ten minutes in the slums... They passed through this area. Then, what appeared in front of them was a decent looking city. Most of the cities were piled up with all kinds of huge stones, looking very heavy. Moreover, most of the stones were dark red, as if they were dyed with blood. Thus, it gave people a strange feeling.
However, the smell of blood here was much fainter. There was only a faint smell of rust lingering on the tip of his nose, which was still acceptable to Yang Xuan.
"Where are you going next, Young Master Yang?" When the two of them were talking just now, Yang Xuan had already told the girl his name. Of course, he did not use his natal spirit, but his alias was Yang Tianji.
"Let's find a place to stay first. I came to Wizard Country to find someone. That's why I'm not in a hurry." Yang Xuan thought for a moment and said to the girl. The girl nodded and looked around. She pointed at a tall building and said to Yang Xuan, "That is our inn. You can stay there at night. As our distinguished guest, you can get any service you want in there. But the prerequisite is that you have to pay the corresponding reward. "
