Chapter 238 Western Wilderness
Chapter 238 Western Wilderness
In the city, there is a private pavilion.
The powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty were scattered around, while Xiao Ling was leisurely sipping tea and wine in a pavilion.
Soon after.
In this seemingly peaceful space, a void rift suddenly appeared.
The moment this commotion occurred, it immediately attracted the attention of the powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, since His Majesty did not respond with any instructions, they naturally remained standing in place.
Under the watchful eyes of the powerful figures, an old man slowly emerged from within.
The other party was the city lord who had previously been in seclusion in the palace deep within the city.
"I, Li Shutai, have come to pay my respects to you all in my city of Yongsha."
The sudden arrival of a powerful figure in the city, someone they couldn't afford to offend, naturally made them dare not be careless in the slightest.
Sensing the auras of everyone present, he realized that each of them was far more powerful than himself.
He, a Saint Realm cultivator in the early stage, was nothing at all here, appearing so weak and insignificant.
Xiao Ling looked at the person who had arrived, but he wasn't too surprised.
Upon entering the city, he had already sensed a Saint Realm being deep within it, the very person before him.
When his generals dealt with the arrogant soldiers in the city earlier, the enemy was clearly aware of their presence.
"come on."
Xiao Ling greeted the other party.
The city lord of Yongsha City looked in Xiao Ling's direction and sensed the unfathomable aura emanating from Xiao Ling. Looking around at the many powerful figures who all treated him with utmost respect, it was clear that Xiao Ling was a person of extraordinary status.
Lord Yongsha dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly walked to the round table where Xiao Ling was sitting.
"sit down."
"This old man dares not, I shall remain standing."
Hearing Xiao Ling tell him to sit down, the Lord of Yongsha City dared not be negligent in the slightest and remained standing in place.
Although he didn't know the identities of the group, with so many powerful figures around, they must be extraordinary, and he dared not act rashly.
In such a situation, even sitting would feel like being pricked by needles, so standing would be more comfortable.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Xiao Ling didn't say anything more.
"You don't need to worry too much. We just happened to arrive at your city today."
"Since you're here, I might as well ask you a few questions."
They had originally planned to send a few people out to investigate the situation in order to better understand the power dynamics in the region they were currently in.
However, now that the Lord of Yongsha City has come of his own accord, there is no need to send anyone out to gather information. It would be much more convenient to ask him directly.
"Please ask, young master. If I knew the answer, I would certainly have told you."
After hearing what Xiao Ling said, the Lord of Yongsha City felt much more at ease.
I was initially worried that the disaster might be caused by some reckless people in the city, but the group in front of me didn't seem as dangerous as I had imagined.
Xiao Ling said, "Tell me about the situation in this area, including which forces are involved and their strengths."
"Ok?"
The Lord of Yongsha City was slightly taken aback by Xiao Ling's question.
It seemed this young master was deliberately making fun of him.
With so many powerful people around him, his identity must be extraordinary. Could it be that he doesn't even understand the situation around him when he comes here?
Although he thought this way, he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only tell Xiao Ling about the situation around him.
"Reporting to Young Master, this region is the Western Wilderness Continent among the Nineteen Continents. Countless forces are spread throughout this region, among which the strongest is naturally the Taixu Sect. They are one of the eight sects of the Central Region and one of the strongest forces in the entire Central Region."
Western Wilderness Continent?
Taixu Sect?
He had already learned about this continent and the Taixu Sect from the one-eyed bandit when he was in the Black Abyss Forest.
As one of the Eight Sects and Four Dynasties, the strength of the Taixu Sect is beyond doubt.
Having just arrived in this Central Region, while the Great Xia Dynasty certainly needs to be established, it is not advisable to provoke conflict with the most powerful forces in the Central Region.
Xiao Ling looked at the Lord of Yongsha City and said, "Continue. Besides the Taixu Sect, tell me what other forces exist."
Not daring to be negligent in the slightest, the City Lord of Yongsha continued, "Besides the Taixu Sect, there are also sects such as the Azure Blade Sect, the Jiaoyuan Holy Dynasty, the Purple Flame Sect, and the Bright Moon Holy Sect in this Western Wilderness Continent..."
Under the other party's narration, the distribution of power in the Western Wilderness Continent was gradually explained.
Upon hearing what the other party said, Xiao Ling couldn't help but admire the vastness of the Central Region.
The Central Region comprises eighteen continents, and this is only one continent, yet it already possesses so many powerful forces. If all the forces of the eighteen continents were combined, what an enormous size their army would be.
It is likely that the power of just one of the eighteen continents in the Central Region is comparable to, or even surpasses, the power of the four major regions of East, West, South, and North.
"Young master, this is a map of the Western Wilderness Continent, which shows the distribution of the major powers within the continent."
"This map contains all sorts of information, which is certainly much clearer than what I can say."
As they spoke, the Lord of Yongsha City took out an exquisite leather scroll.
The moment it was opened, a surge of magical power emanated from within, instantly converging above the scroll to form a detailed topographical map.
Xiao Ling looked at the scene depicted on the scroll and was filled with great interest.
This scroll indeed contains all the information about the Western Wilderness Continent. Combined with what the Lord of Yongsha City just said about the overall strength of the major forces, it is of great benefit to him in understanding the situation in the Western Wilderness Continent and developing the Great Xia forces.
"You're quite good, I'll accept this scroll."
Xiao Ling didn't stand on ceremony and directly pocketed the scroll.
Seeing that Xiao Ling accepted the scroll, the Lord of Yongsha City did not seem to care or feel any heartache.
This scroll was drawn by a sorcerer, and it is precious to ordinary martial artists in the Central Region. However, for a Saint Realm being like him, who is also the lord of a city, it is not considered precious. He could easily obtain another copy if he wanted to.
As long as I can take good care of this young master, it's all worthwhile.
"Young master, is there anything else you need to ask this old man?"
Lord Nayongsha asked proactively.
Xiao Ling thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'm all done here, you can leave now."
My main goal was to learn about the situation in this region from the other party. Since I already knew, there was no point in keeping the other party around.
"Then I'll take my leave, young master. I won't bother you any longer."
Having said that, the Lord of Yongsha City prepared to leave.
