Chapter 300: Saint John City

A few days later, Zhao Mu set off for Wuxiang Country.

But unlike the original plan, Zhao Mu did not drive the Muye Immortal Boat, and the Qingyun Queen was not around.

The Immortal Boat's biggest task at present is to protect the Demon Sect and deter the major demon clan forces, so it is not suitable to leave the Demon Sect.

Besides, the energy consumed for a round trip is too much, so it is better to save some energy.

As for Tang Qing, she is now on the verge of a breakthrough and will soon break through the sixth level of the Tribulation. Practice is important, so Zhao Mu did not disturb her.

Zhao Mu only brought two people with him on this trip.

One is Jin Fei, who is mainly responsible for secretly protecting Zhao Mu, and the other is Zhao Mu's biological mother disciple Xiang Ningbing.

The reason for bringing Xiang Ningbing is that she was born in Wuxiang Country and has a better understanding of the situation in Wuxiang Country. She was mainly brought as a guide.

Other disciples knew that Xiang Ningbing was going to travel with Zhao Mu, but they were quite envious.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the northwest border of Wuxiang Country, a small sky boat cut through the sky.

Xiang Ningbing stood at the bow with a pretty figure. Although the wind was whistling in her ears, she couldn't help blushing and her heartbeat.

For three whole days, the lewd music behind her never stopped.

Where in the world is there such a master? He really doesn't know how to avoid taboos!

After listening to the wall for three days, Xiang Ningbing couldn't help it.

She clenched her fists and turned away angrily.

Then.

She squatted on the deck and covered her ears.

One day later, the sky boat arrived at the capital of Wuxiang Kingdom.

This city is called [Shenghan], which is the largest city in Wuxiang Kingdom, and can even be regarded as the largest city in the entire Xianwu Continent.

On the human plain, there are hundreds of countries of all sizes. Secular dynasties like Zhao Mu's hometown Zhao Kingdom are basically unknown in the entire Xianwu Continent. Only those countries with immortal gates have a little fame.

Among all the dynasties, Wuxiang Kingdom is absolutely a transcendent existence.

She is an absolute hegemony, and no country can compete with Wuxiang.

Wuxiang has a population of 10 billion, and its land area occupies one-fifth of the entire human plain. It is adjacent to the Ten Thousand Monsters Forest in the west, the sea in the southeast, and the Sword Fairy Pavilion and the Inverted Mountain in the north.

Further north is the territory of Tianluo Temple and Yaoshen Temple.

If the human plain is divided into three areas: north, middle and south, then Wuxiang is equivalent to monopolizing the fertile land in the south. From the perspective of sphere of influence alone, it is the first among the five holy places.

Moreover, Wuxiang is different from other secular countries. Under the rule of Empress Xuanji for 5,000 years, it has long cultivated a martial arts culture among the whole people.

The whole country uses martial arts to enter the Tao, and there are huge national examinations every year to select martial arts talents from all over the country.

Once you stand out, you can enjoy royal subsidies and get a lot of training resources, spiritual stones and elixirs.

Although there are only a few practitioners with spiritual roots, under this martial spirit, Wuxiang Country is full of martial virtues. Almost all adult male citizens have to receive martial arts training. Once the war period begins, it is no exaggeration to say that Wuxiang Country can immediately produce a terrifying army of hundreds of millions!

This is by no means an exaggeration, but a real case.

It is said that three thousand years ago, the demon race was in chaos and intended to learn from Wuxiang Country.

At the order of Empress Xuanji, officials from all over the country mobilized, and in just one month, they stopped its 24 armies of tens of millions, a full 240 million warriors from killing the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

That battle lasted for several years, and the demon race took away thousands of miles of territory.

It was a rare victory in the tens of thousands of years of confrontation between the human race and the demon race.

It was also this battle that made Empress Xuanji's reputation reach its peak in the human race.

Although Empress Xuanji's strength may not be the strongest among the five supreme beings of the human race, her prestige is definitely above the other four supreme beings of heaven and man.

Zhao Mu had actually seen a lot of this kind of martial spirit among the whole nation along the way.

Outside Shenghan City, Zhao Mu was amazed at the sight of it.

The scale of this city is beyond imagination.

It is said that in Shenghan City, the population of the outer city alone exceeds 50 million.

The population of the inner city also exceeds 10 million.

Add to that the large population in the suburban area.

This is a huge human settlement with a population of nearly 100 million!

Now it coincides with the 5,000th birthday of Empress Xuanji, and there is an endless stream of people coming to watch the birthday celebration. In recent times, the floating population in Shenghan City may be several times more.

Seeing the prosperous scene of Shenghan City, Zhao Mu was shocked.

Being able to manage such a large country in an orderly manner and ensure peace and prosperity, Empress Xuanji is really an amazing figure.

"Master, there is still half a month before the empress's birthday. Why don't you stay at my home for a few days? I will take you to visit the city." Xiang Ningbing was quite happy looking at Shenghan City in front of her.

Before she decided to join Shengyuan Demon Sect, she had made plans not to come back, but she didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to return to her hometown every once in a while.

It's a pity that her parents are no longer in the world, otherwise she would be very pleased to see that she could find such a contemporary genius as her master.

"Well, this Shenghan City is so prosperous and lively, there should be something to visit."

Zhao Mu nodded.

The airship slowly landed on the ground.

The master and disciple walked to the outside of the city gate.

The entire Shenghan City is guarded by a large formation, and ordinary cultivators are prohibited from flying in the city.

Of course, this did not affect Zhao Mu.

But since we are here for sightseeing, flying here and there will not show us anything. It is better to walk around, which should be more immersive.

Although no one checked when entering the city, Zhao Mu saw that there were many troops stationed outside the city. From time to time, there were patrols by the city defense army. Suspicious people would be questioned immediately, and the management was quite strict.

Xiang Ningbing explained: "In recent years, the demon clan has been infiltrating the Wuxiang Kingdom. There have been several demon clan attacks before. Later, the city defense was strengthened a lot. Now it is the birthday of the empress. The demon clan is very likely to take the opportunity to cause trouble. It is normal to be so strict."

Seeing Xiang Ningbing's expression flashed with sadness when she mentioned the demon clan attack, Zhao Mu guessed that her parents should also be victims of the attack.

But even with such a great hatred, Xiang Ningbing still wanted to promote peace between the human and demon clans.

This kind of saintly mentality is a little difficult to understand for outsiders.

But Zhao Mu didn't care at all.

On the contrary, he even felt that a saint like Xiang Ningbing, once in power, might have a good ability to appeal, and even become the key to resolve the conflict between the human race and the demon race.

Of course, if it were Zhao Mu himself, he would definitely go to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest again and kill as much as he could.

After entering the city, Xiang Ningbing introduced everything in the city to Zhao Mu along the way. She walked leisurely for more than an hour before arriving at a residential area with separate doors and households in the outer city.

A courtyard with a locked gate and weeds in the yard is Xiang Ningbing's home.

There are still many traces of damage and dried black blood stains on the floor tiles in the yard.

Xiang Ningbing's eyes were wet when she saw the things.

Seeing her crying silently, but forcing herself not to make any sound, Zhao Mu felt a little pity for her. He couldn't help but hug her in his arms and gently patted her back.

"In the arms of the master, there is no need to pretend to be strong. If you want to cry, just cry as much as you want."
