#98 - Arrival at Nanshan Secret Land
Nanshan Ancient Town was very lively and prosperous.
Jun Wuxie discovered that the people coming and going on the streets were almost all martial artists, and all of them were above the Qi Condensation Realm. Only among the local residents could one see the Acquired and Congenital Realms.
"This place does not belong to any country, there is no order, and no laws to restrain it. Martial artists from all over the Southern Region come here to trade all year round…"
Qin Keqing seemed to know this place very well, and patiently explained on the way to the Hunter Guild.
Jun Wuxie listened quietly, slowly understanding the place.
This city does not have the three major chambers of commerce, but it has a very prosperous business, the most famous of which is the Black Market!
The Black Market has existed here for a very long time, and it has all kinds of strange things.
The Black Market can exchange goods for goods, or trade with Black Market Coins.
Black Market Coins need to be exchanged for things at the Black Market Management Hall.
The Black Market Management Hall belongs to the Hunter Guild.
When he heard this, Jun Wuxie was a little surprised and couldn't help but glance at Qin Keqing.
He didn't expect that their Hunter Guild would also do Black Market business.
"There are many places like Nanshan Ancient Town in the world. Our Hunter Guild has reached an agreement with the three major chambers of commerce that in other cities, we will not steal their business, and they will not extend their reach to such towns."
"Our Hunter Guild has a long history. It does not rely solely on collecting commissions from bounty missions. There is also an important resource collection channel, which is in such towns…"
She said many things that ordinary people did not understand.
For example, such places can attract more hunters and obtain some rare ancient objects.
The mercenary groups that obtain rare ancient objects then sell or cash them through them.
After all, some things are easy to be coveted, and no one dares to take them out to sell directly. It would be very safe to go through them.
In this process, the Hunter Guild will find some very precious treasures.
The Hunter Guild in Nanshan Ancient Town is located in the center of the city and covers a very large area.
When Jun Wuxie and Qin Keqing arrived here, someone was already waiting at the door, and when they saw them, they quickly greeted them.
"The chief manager of the Nanshan Ancient Town branch respectfully welcomes Miss and Young Master Jun!"
An old woman led several middle-aged managers forward to salute.
"No need to be so polite. I want to know the latest situation in Nanshan now. Let's go inside and talk."
Qin Keqing was relatively aloof in front of others, and the aura of a superior was fully revealed, not as gentle as she was in front of Jun Wuxie.
As soon as they arrived at the internal square of the Hunter Guild, wails and groans rose and fell.
Jun Wuxie was stunned. Looking around, the wide square was full of wounded people lying here and there.
They simply laid animal skins on the ground, and those people were lying on them, with blood clots on their quilts.
Some people were seriously injured, and missing arms and legs were considered minor.
"What's going on?"
Jun Wuxie couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Young Master Jun, these are all members of mercenary groups." The chief manager, the old woman, personally explained: "Recently, the Nanshan Secret Realm has opened, and many mercenary groups with good overall strength have gone to Nanshan, trying to pick up bargains in the peripheral area of the Nanshan Secret Realm. Originally, such things were tacitly allowed in the past, but a few days ago, the situation changed."
"Some time ago, disciples of the Fentao Sect came to Nanshan. In just a few days, they killed many young martial artists. Among them, two were exceptionally strong, one known as the 'Nanshan Invincible King' and the other known as the 'Nanshan Unbeaten Guest,' who are extremely arrogant."
"These two have really resounding names."
Jun Wuxie was stunned. Who dares to claim invincibility, and who dares to say they are undefeated?
These two are really a bit too arrogant.
After all, this Nanshan Secret Realm gathers experts from all over the Southern Region.
The chief manager, the old woman, pointed to the injured and said: "The deputy head of a mercenary group called Hao Shi, who was relatively strong, angered the Nanshan Invincible King because he killed a core disciple of the Fentao Sect. He rushed out of the Nanshan Secret Realm and killed Hao Shi, the deputy head of the group who was at the Half-Step Star River Realm, on the spot in just ten rounds."
Jun Wuxie couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this.
Killing a Half-Step Star River Realm expert, tempered in days of licking blood from the blade, in ten rounds?
It seems that this Nanshan Invincible King is really strong!
If they were to confront each other head-on.
He really didn't have confidence in his heart.
Unless he used the Yuanshi Soldier Dissolution and took the Qi Explosion Pill at the same time.
But doing so in the Nanshan Secret Realm would be tantamount to suicide.
Everywhere is a competitor, everywhere is a crisis. Once one's own injury is serious, the consequences can be imagined.
"Fentao Sect, an Invincible King, an Unbeaten Guest, plus Si Nan, at least three true disciples have come, and the people from other middle-level forces have to be counted separately…"
Jun Wuxie thought to himself that he decided to avoid conflicts with the few true disciples of the Fentao Sect as much as possible before achieving his goal. Finding the Phoenix Divine Gold and high-grade spiritual essence was the key.
At this time, Qin Keqing looked at the old woman and said, "When will the core area of the Nanshan Secret Realm open?"
"According to the latest news we have received, the outstanding heirs of various forces have already been waiting in the secret realm since early this morning. It seems that the core area will open at the latest before dark."
"It seems that we have to go to Nanshan immediately."
Qin Keqing said and was about to leave with Jun Wuxie.
"Miss, please wait." The old woman took out a pair of broken blades with a light green glow from the Na Ring and said, "Some time ago, I accidentally obtained this weapon—the Azure Kite. It seems to have been damaged internally, but its grade is still as high as the four-star superb grade. If it can be repaired, it will definitely be extraordinary. I know that Miss left home in a hurry and did not bring a handy weapon, so I specially offer the Azure Kite."
"You have a heart."
Qin Keqing accepted the Azure Kite and went to Nanshan with Jun Wuxie.
They were very fast, and the journey of more than a hundred miles took only half an hour.
Nanshan was majestic and magnificent, with ancient trees and dense forests, a primitive scene.
The trees here were very huge, and their branches and leaves spread out like giant umbrellas covering the sky.
Thick vines grew around the trees and hung down, like giant pythons.
They went up along the mountain road.
They arrived in front of the Nanshan Secret Realm.
"You two, please wait."
Two young men in their twenties, wearing brocade clothes with a knife logo embroidered on their cuffs, blocked their way.
This was a road junction, the only passage to the Nanshan Secret Realm.
The two young men had kind faces, looked Jun Wuxie and Qin Keqing up and down, and said with a smile, "May I ask which sect the two of you are from?"
"Dazhou, Zongwang Academy."
Jun Wuxie said truthfully.
"Zongwang Academy?"
The two young men were stunned when they heard this, and the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly. They said jokingly, "Isn't Zongwang Academy already declining? What qualifications do you have to come here? Do you have a token?"
"Of course, I have a token."
Jun Wuxie took out the token and shook it at them.
"Bring it here and let us check it out."
One of the young men said arrogantly, with a playful look on his face all the time.
"You don't seem to be qualified to check the secret realm token. This token is a pass to enter the core area of the secret realm, and it will only be checked when entering the core area."
"The rules have been changed now, bring it here quickly."
One of the young men reached out to grab it.
Jun Wuxie dodged without a trace, letting him grab empty air, and suddenly became angry: "You dare to resist?"
"When was it changed, who changed it?"
Jun Wuxie asked.
"Our senior brother and second senior brother changed it, are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Who are your senior brothers?"
The two young men sneered and said, "You don't even know our two senior brothers, how dare you come to Nanshan? Listen carefully, our two senior brothers are the Nanshan Invincible King and the Nanshan Unbeaten Guest!"
"Boy, we'll give you one last chance, bring the token!" The eyes of the two young men were full of killing intent, and they said: "You have to know that in this Nanshan, among the younger generation, the meaning of our two senior brothers is the rule, and their words are the law of Nanshan!"
"Understood." Jun Wuxie nodded and said, "You are people from the Fentao Sect."
The eyes of the two young men were cold and gloomy. If they were not worried that the other party would destroy the token, they would have already taken action.
With the secret realm token, their Fentao Sect would be able to have more people enter the core area of the secret realm.
"Since you know, you still dare to argue…"
They reprimanded, but before they could finish speaking, they saw the young man in Tsing Yi, who was more than ten meters away from them, suddenly rush in front of them.
The vast golden blood energy rushed over like a river bursting its banks.
Their pupils shrank sharply, they joined their hands together, condensed a true energy battle knife, and slashed down fiercely.
Dragon roars and tiger howls!
Shaking the mountains and fields.
Before their blade light could fall, Jun Wuxie's fist prints and palm prints bombarded their chests.
The domineering true dragon and fierce tiger blood energy poured into their bodies, causing their backs to bulge at the same time.
With a puff.
The backs of the two young men exploded, each with a bloody hole, and pieces of internal organs splashed out.
Their eyes were wide open, their hands were still raised high, making a slashing posture, but their bodies were difficult to move.
They looked down at their chests, their eyes filled with terror, pupils rapidly dilating, large amounts of blood gushing from their mouths.
"You…"
They opened their mouths, unable to utter a complete sentence, their bodies crashing to the ground with a thud, kicking up dust.
Jun Wuxie casually removed the two men's storage rings, kicked their corpses into the roadside bushes, and continued onward with Qin Keqing.
Before long, they arrived at a mountain valley.
The entrance to the Nanshan Secret Realm was located within this valley.
