Chapter 831 A Proper Way to Die
At the same time that He Ping was secretly discussing with the Great Sage Split Cloud, Naronbach also chatted with the old man named Onurza for a long time. The two also discussed the current situation of the ancient city of Mashbath. .
"This city is really amazing. It brings together several cities around the inland coast, as well as fleets coming from across the sea, traveling from south to north, with a mixture of fish and dragons. There are also many forces in the market in Mashbath City. entrenched in it.”
The old man Onurza said unhurriedly: "After our recent detailed investigation, we also found that among the major forces that come to this city, there are the fleet of the Harvest Sect and the caravan of the Silver Moon Sect. There are also many secretive pagans who do business here and exchange all kinds of rare treasures for resources for practice. "
"snort."
Rombach was very dissatisfied when he heard this.
"The Harappa clan, the lord of the city, really didn't want to die, and they actually associate with the pagans..."
The Fenghuo Sect and the Silver Moon Sect are both large sects that occupy two other major states. Although they are not as good as the Eternal Tribulation Sect in the North Bingzhou, they are also a serious lineage of the Wanling Sect. They come here to do business, even if The Eternal Tribulation Sect will also welcome it.
In fact, as soon as Onurza under Rombach was occupied in Mashbath City, he communicated with the Harvest Sect, the Silver Moon Sect, and several other small sects who came here to do business, indicating that the Eternal Calamity Sect would even Occupying Mashbath City, these families can still come here to do business.
Onurza also claimed that as long as they are willing to come here and continue trading, taxes can be reduced a lot.
The Church of Eternal Calamity is not stupid. Even if it wants to occupy Yunhai State and expel the Holy Dance Sect in the future, there is no need to offend all the surrounding neighbors.
However, as the holy son of the Eternal Tribulation Sect, Longbach can allow caravans from other sects to come here to do business, but it does not mean that he can tolerate these heretics.
Tianfang Prefecture in the Western Continent is indeed ruled by the Wanling Sect, but in addition to the Wanling Sect, there are also some secret inheritances and forces.
Huang Ying's clan was regarded as a heretic by the Wanling Sect, and they sent out masters to kill them many times. However, this clan always escaped and came back with a vengeance.
In addition, there is a force called the Shadow Poison Sect, which can hide among the people and lurk among ordinary people. The secret method they practice is extremely special, called the "Secret Dafa", which can control mana fluctuations, life magnetic field, and spirit. Hide it.
In addition to the Shadow Poison Sect, there are also several other groups of heretical cults that have been breeding among the people for many years and have been tracked down by the Wanling Sect for a long time, but they have never been discovered.
"According to the results of our investigation, the city lord Haraba and his wife are also aware of this, but they do not expel them, but only charge heavy taxes. Every year, this city earns countless profits from this large market that goes from north to south. resource."
Onurza continued: "The Haraba clan, the lord of the city, is actually the descendant of King Xuluo who used to dominate Xuluo State. They are the remnants of the Xuluo sect that was expelled from the Holy City... The Harabas have been relying on each other over the years. This city has earned countless elixirs, materials, and money, all in preparation for the restoration of the country. "
"It turns out that the true identity of the Haraba clan, the city lord, is the remnants of the Sura sect. No wonder they tolerate those heretics..."
Longbach sneered: "After this news, I found an opportunity to spread it. We attacked Mashbath City. Our actions were somewhat tough. The Holy Dance Sect was very dissatisfied... But after getting this news, we can suppress them in turn. On the one hand, the Harappa clan is, to put it bluntly, people from the territory of the Holy Dance Sect. With such a background, their faces will not look good if they come to the Holy City and find out."
The Xuluo Sect was a large sect that controlled a large state in the past. It was also a major force under the Apocalypse Sect in the past. However, due to doctrinal issues, it completely fell out with the Holy City and was removed from the twenty-seven major sects.
The Holy City did not demote the Xuluo Sect as a heresy, but it also strictly prohibited this sect from preaching in the local area. The Xuluo Sect quickly declined, and there were strong enemies around the Xuluo Prefecture. It did not take long for it to be replaced by other sects. The station was destroyed and he was expelled from his home nest.
Longbach did not expect that the Harappa clan had such a background. Just the fact that Mashbath City sheltered these heretics would cause an uproar if word spread. Harappa was a descendant of the Sura sect, which would even make the situation worse. Become beneficial to the Eternal Tribulation Sect.
"Holy Son, the wealth of the Harappa clan is very huge. Unfortunately, we sent people to open the inner treasury of the city lord's palace, but we didn't find much. According to the information obtained by the great soul search method, Harappa has a huge treasure house, but This treasure house is divided into three parts, each hidden in different locations.”
Onurza explained the matter again.
The Harappa clan has held the throne of the city for many years and accumulated huge wealth, which has been hidden.
"I have known about this for a long time. After all, I personally executed the city lord." Longbach frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "One of the clues to the treasure lies in the city lord's son. Who would have expected that the child was killed by the Phoenix? Shadow robbery, I originally wanted to catch this woman and find clues from the child, but what a pity!"
"Holy Son, please rest assured."
Onurza said: "It doesn't matter if this clue on Huang Ying is broken. Anyway, our shadow priests are good at tracking and hunting. We already have clues about the whereabouts of the other two treasures. If we continue to investigate, we will definitely find something. reward."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Rombach stood up slowly.
"I'm going to clean up the bugs in this city. Those heretics deserve to die!"
When he said this, he was full of murderous aura. His eyebrows were raised, and a gloomy breath swept out from the void.
Long Bach took a step forward, moved the void, and with a slap, he broke through the surrounding space. His body flashed and left the city lord's mansion.
...
Mashbass City.
After nightfall, the lights were still bright.
Long Bach's figure flashed and he came to the main city road of Mashbass City. People came and went around, but no one could sense Long Bach's existence.
This is the secret method of the Eternal Tribulation Sect, called "Unbounded Movement", which imitates the doctrine of the Eternal Tribulation Sect, that is, before the birth of the world, all things cannot sense the state. He immediately seemed to enter a parallel space. The main city was crowded with people, but no one found him.
Mashbass City is huge, even larger than the capital of Dayu. The entire city is protected by tall and majestic giant walls. All the walls are inlaid with a strange crystal that can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
This kind of crystal is a rare treasure. In the Western Continent, when those skilled craftsmen forge swords, as long as they incorporate a little bit of it into it, the material of ordinary weapons can be improved, and even automatically absorb the light of the sun and the moon.
Over time, swords made of ordinary iron will become magic weapons, and their quality will change, and they can even produce magic weapon auras to protect the masters of the swords.
This city wall is inlaid with dense crystals. Using a special construction method, a formation is obviously cast, which absorbs power all the time. In the depths of the formation, the dragon veins in the earth are also extracted... Within a radius of hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles, the boundless earth vein dragon power in the earth can be condensed and integrated with the formation in the city wall.
Anyone who approaches this city can feel the majesty of this giant city and the inviolability of it. Moreover, when the formation on the city wall is running, even if thousands of troops come to attack this city, they will be wiped out by the power of the formation.
When the Eternal Tribulation Sect conquered the city, they did not choose to fight head-on, but sent many masters to sneak in and attack the city lord's mansion, and then they took the city.
It was already late at night, and the city of Mashbass was still prosperous. There were more than one million mortals in this huge city. The prosperous areas of the city were full of shops, taverns, casinos, brothels and other businesses. They were open at night and the lights were bright everywhere. It was a city that never sleeps.
There was no curfew in the city. The business here was very developed, and there were a lot of transactions almost every moment.
Long Bach walked through the crowd, and no one noticed him. The people around him were all wearing clothes in the style of Tianfangzhou in the Western Continent, with a strong exotic style.
Mashbass City is centered on Chenggao Mansion. The roads outside are like a spider web, extending in all directions. The roads are wide enough to accommodate seven or eight carriages side by side.
There are shops on both sides of those roads, and fountains blooming in some central squares like crossroads.
The whole city, inside and outside, was built just like the scenery in a famous painting. However, Long Bach, who was walking in it, moved his nose slightly and smelled some resentment and evil thoughts in the deep air.
This is the breath emitted by people's thoughts. Mashbas City is too big, with a huge population and a large number of mortals gathered together, creating countless complex breaths.
In the bright and beautiful city, people's strong thoughts, desires and emotions will all turn into thoughts and float out.
Ordinary people will definitely not feel it. Only Long Bach, a strong man who has reached the peak of cultivation, can vaguely feel something...
"It's also normal. This commercial city has complicated people's hearts and the security here is not particularly good. People are assassinated and framed every day. Over time, all kinds of breaths are mixed together..."
Long Bach whispered to himself.
This prosperous commercial capital is not as peaceful and stable as it seems on the surface. In fact, it has always been undercurrents.
He did not stop and went directly to the largest black market in the local area. This black market is located in a slum not far from the bustling area. It is a large shantytown.
Whether it is the city of Mashbass or the entire Tianfangzhou in the Western Continent, it is not a paradise on earth.
This land is still a field where the strong prey on the weak. For example, this slum is home to many poor people and refugees at the bottom of society. It is a mixed bag with chaotic public security, but it also has its own industry, forming a hidden black market system, which is secretly controlled by several local gangs.
There are many secret transactions in this place. The largest gold-spending den in Mashbass and the black market for slave auctions are here. Anything you can imagine, whether it is women, wine, or materials needed by some monks, can be found here.
Of course, in addition to some businessmen who patronize here, there are even many noble masters and young masters who come here.
There is an inconspicuous four-story building in this slum. It is brightly lit. Parked carriages can be seen outside, as well as men and women coming in and out.
Long Bach walked directly into the main entrance. There were more than a dozen card tables in the hall. People gathered nearby. There were curses and shouts everywhere. There were men scolding and women teasing. There were also gloomy thoughts in the air.
In the corner, several big men kicked a thin young man to the ground and shouted angrily: "Damn poor guy, you lost so much that you don't even have pants, and you dare to come here to borrow money!"
"Boy, I told you to pay back the money quickly. If you don't pay it back, it's fine. Why do you dare to come to my door?"
"If he doesn't pay back the money, just cripple his hand!"
Long Bach shuttled over like a ghost, and he walked to another card table. At this time, a gambler was angrily accusing the dealer of cheating. He yelled and cursed for a while, grabbed the other party and scolded him desperately.
"Shut up! Don't make trouble here!"
Several thugs guarding the casino rushed over. This gambler was also a gangster. He shouted angrily, pulled out a knife, and cut off the right arm of one of them with one knife.
It didn't matter whether to bet on odd or even numbers. The gambling table was stained red with blood.
The faces of the other thugs guarding the casino around him also changed.
Long Bach continued to ignore all this and continued to walk deeper. He was like a ghost, shuttling among the crowd. After a while, he arrived at the most secret room on the floor.
In this room, a mysterious man in black clothes and black robes sat upright.
The mysterious man held a crooked shepherd's staff in his right hand, and there was an altar in front of him, with a hundred candles lit on it.
The candlelight was slightly lit, and the light was dim. Beside him, there were many people wearing black robes, all of them were monks of the Shadow Poison Sect.
These people seemed to be practicing a special technique or ritual, and the distracting thoughts, desires, and negative emotions of ordinary people were all gathered in this secret room.
Under the light of the candle, the faces of each monk of the Shadow Poison Sect were pale, without a trace of blood, and the shadows under their feet were twisted like poisonous snakes. Even under the light of the fire, many twisted human figures could be seen on the walls on all sides, winding and wandering on these walls.
"You Shadow Poison Sect... You are so brave, you dare to gather in the city of Mashbass for evil sacrifices!"
Suddenly, a murderous voice reached the ears of everyone present.
The mysterious man holding the shepherd's staff was also startled, and looked in one direction with wide eyes. In the empty space, a figure suddenly appeared. It was Long Bach's figure.
"Cultists, dare to act under my nose! You deserve to die!"
