Chapter 485 Encountering Enemies as Soon as Arriving at Seven Kings City

Most of the Cultivators below the Saint Realm in Cang Continent had basically never left Cang Continent; they felt that Cang Continent was already very large and vast.

However, compared to the entire Tian Yuan World, Cang Continent was merely a drop in the ocean.

The Tian Yuan World has over a thousand continents, and each continent has a different history, area, and abundance of resources.

The Twenty Hegemonic Powers occupied the twenty continents in the Tian Yuan World with the largest areas and richest resources.

Not only that, but most of the other continents near the continents they resided in were also their vassal forces, receiving their protection while also having to pay tribute and taxes to them.

But continents like Cang Continent, which were weaker and not wealthy, were even looked down upon.

So, strictly speaking, it was the Twenty Hegemonic Powers who divided and controlled the entire Tian Yuan World.

This led to them being very far apart from each other.

Except for Emperor Realm experts, other Cultivators needed a lot of time to travel between the various continents of the Tian Yuan World.

The group led by Xu Luo, riding the Azure Lightning Roc, which was already at the Saint Realm, flew at full speed without stopping for a moment, taking about a year to finally arrive at East Continent, where Seven Kings City was located.

Upon reaching East Continent, there was no need to be in such a hurry, so the Azure Lightning Roc appropriately slowed down.

Xu Chen clicked his tongue in wonder, saying, "It was smooth sailing all the way, but in the past few days, we've encountered people blocking our path every day. Is this the influence of Seven Kings City?"

"Simply put, Seven Kings City is a city established by seven great bandits leading a group of villains, so the closer you are to Seven Kings City, the more chaotic it is," Xu Luo said with a serious expression.

In his previous life, if he hadn't been with several strong individuals, he wouldn't have dared or been able to safely reach Seven Kings City.

Besides Xu Luo, the two others, and the Hidden Dragon Guard, there were also several Xu Family members who had been trained at Drunken Immortal Pavilion on the back of the Azure Lightning Roc; they were responsible for opening a shop in Seven Kings City.

The shopkeeper asked, "Young Master Luo, should we open the shop directly in the city, or wait and see?"

Xu Luo replied, "First, understand the forces within the city, then look for a suitable shop, and finally make preparations. After everything is stable, then open the shop."

"Alright," the shopkeeper nodded.

Seven Kings City was too special; it was a chaotic mix of people and numerous forces. It was so far from home, and they had no backing or reinforcements, so everything had to be done cautiously.

If they rashly opened a shop upon entering the city, they would only end up benefiting others.

Xu Luo continued, "Among the twenty strongest forces, there is also one called Moon Gazing Pavilion. Moon Gazing Pavilion branches are present in eighty percent of the continents in the Tian Yuan World. Their businesses mainly include restaurants, tea houses, eateries, inns, and entertainment venues."

"So, if we want to successfully open the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in Seven Kings City, we need to pay special attention to this Moon Gazing Pavilion."

Xu Yan exclaimed, "This Moon Gazing Pavilion's business is too extensive! No wonder it could become one of the Twenty Hegemonic Powers."

Xu Chen said with a chuckle, "There's also the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild, which also has extensive businesses and branches spread throughout the Tian Yuan World. These two forces might not be as strong in foundation and overall power, but they are absolutely not to be underestimated."

They had already learned about these forces when the three of them went to True Dragon Academy in Qing Province.

Xu Qiufeng sighed with a complex expression.

After leaving Cang Continent, one would realize that this world is intricate and complex. If one's background is not deep enough, every step is like treading on thin ice; one must be very careful.

"We're almost there," Xu Luo suddenly said.

The few people on the back of the Azure Lightning Roc became spirited. Except for the three of them, this was the first time the others had seen a hegemonic force of the entire Tian Yuan World, so they were slightly expectant.

At the same time, they were a little curious about what Seven Kings City was like and how it compared to their Great Qian's Ascension City.

Soon, they saw a blurry small black dot ahead. As the distance grew shorter, they seemed to pass through layers of thick fog, gradually seeing the behemoth hidden within the fog.

If the city walls of Ascension City were an ancient fierce beast crouching on the ground, then the city walls of Seven Kings City were a mountain range composed of towering peaks.

Ascension City initially gave a feeling of awe and longing, while Seven Kings City initially gave the inner thought of being out of reach.

The Hidden Dragon Guards were all dumbfounded.

"This… this is Seven Kings City!!"

"I'd believe you if you said this was an immortal city."

"I thought our Ascension City was already very impressive, but I didn't expect there to be an even stronger one!!"

The moment they saw Seven Kings City, they compared it to Ascension City in various aspects.

The final result was obvious: Ascension City was inferior to Seven Kings City in all aspects, and not by just a little bit, but by a vast difference.

Of course, this gap was inevitable; this was the normal gap between a hegemonic force of Cang Continent and a hegemonic force of the Tian Yuan World.

If the Xu Family also became a hegemonic force of the Tian Yuan World one day, then Ascension City would not be inferior to Seven Kings City, and might even be stronger.

Just as they were very close to Seven Kings City, a cynical voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Oh, this Roc bird looks good, quite majestic."

"Hey! You guys, how much is this mount?"

Xu Luo and the other two turned their heads to look, and when they saw the person speaking, they couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Why is it him?"

"Indeed, it's better to resolve grudges than to make them!"

It turned out that the one calling out was Xiang Zhantian, who had previously formed a grudge with Xu Luo and the other two in the Wan Shou Sect Ruins in You Prefecture and then pursued and ambushed them.

They never expected that they would encounter their former enemy just as they arrived at Seven Kings City.

However, Xu Luo and the other two had long changed their appearance and aura, so he did not recognize them. He should have simply thought the Azure Lightning Roc was extraordinary and wanted to buy it.

"What should we do, Luo Ge?" A fierce look flashed in Xu Chen's eyes. It was clear that he wanted to make a move.

Last time, they were chased by Xiang Zhantian in the Wan Shou Sect Ruins for over ten days. As soon as they left the ruins, they were trapped by his subordinates, and finally had to run for who knows how many thousands of miles in one go.

If they hadn't had enough trump cards, they wouldn't have been able to endure.

Although they didn't say anything about this matter, they kept it in their hearts, and they would definitely seek revenge one day.

"We're still outside the city, it's not safe. Let's get into the city first," Xu Luo patted the Azure Lightning Roc, urging it to speed up and enter the city quickly.

Even if Seven Kings City was a city of sin, there was still order. Outside the city, anything goes, and no one would care.

But once inside the city, no one could make a move, unless you were stronger than the Emperor Realm Seven Kings.

Back in the Wan Shou Sect Ruins, Xiang Zhantian had been shouting that he was from Seven Kings City. Looking at his arrogant and overbearing style of doing things, his background was definitely not simple.

It wasn't that Xu Luo was worried about being discovered, he just didn't want to sell the Azure Lightning Roc. If he refused him outside the city and he called people to fight, Xu Luo and the others would be in danger.

So, no matter what, it was better to enter the city first to ensure their safety.
