The Great Wild God - Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Go And Stay
Half a month ago, Chen Xun and the others immediately moved into the Su Wu Lieutenant Manor’s disciple courtyard as soon as they entered the city. Apart from participating in the entrance ceremony today, none of them had the chance to walk around the city.

Back then, when he climbed over the ridge and saw the black city wall that stretched for hundreds of kilometers, he was shocked by the grandeur of Azure Water City. It was a kind of feeling.

However, the grandeur of Azure Water City could only be felt more deeply when one was within it.

Chen Xun followed Zuoqiu, Zong Ya, and the others through the dense cobweb of streets and alleys. Looking at the people rubbing their shoulders along the streets, he passed through the south gate and discovered that there was a dilapidated city outside the giant black wall.

This was the southern city of Azure Water City.

Chen Xun had long since gotten used to living in a sparsely populated area. The Black Python occupied a hundred kilometers of mountain range and struggled to survive. There were only over a thousand people. Every time he went out to pick herbs and hunt, he wouldn’t be able to bump into a single person for three to five days.

In Canglan City, which was surrounded by high walls, there were nearly a million people living there. The population was so dense and the number was enormous that it far exceeded Chen Xun’s imagination.

South City was filled with dilapidated shacks. The day before yesterday, it had just rained heavily. The muddy streets and alleys were stepped on with one foot deep and one foot shallow. There were mud pits everywhere, even worse than the Black Python Stone Village.

The people along the street were dressed in rags and their faces were full of vegetables. Many people were so hungry that they flooded for a breath, but no one paid any attention to them.

Seeing this, Chen Xun knew that South City was actually a slum in Azure Water City. Even the three walls were low earth walls. Their defenses couldn’t be compared to the hundred meter tall black stone wall in the main city, much less hope for any defensive formations.

In the end, there were 46 Beishan tribal clansmen who followed Zuoqiu and Zongya into Azure Water City. Many of them were either injured or disabled, so they urgently needed to find a doctor to treat them. Their property was limited, so they could only find a dilapidated place to stay in South City.

Sparse hedges surrounded a two-acre courtyard. Inside, there were a few tattered straw houses and a few animal hide tents in the open space. This was where the disciples of the Northern Mountain had settled in Azure Water City.

Everyone didn’t feel the pain. The situation here wasn’t any worse than in the clan.

Although the walls of South City were low and did not look like they were protected by magic formations. Although the desolate beasts in the mountains on both sides were ten or a hundred times stronger than those in Python Fang Ridge, they felt an indescribable sense of security when they were crowded with hundreds of thousands of people.

Even if there were vicious birds and ferocious beasts barging in from the depths of the towering mountains on both sides, nothing could be safer than hiding in the hundreds of thousands of people.

Everyone happily embraced Chen Xun, Gu Jianfeng, and the others as they entered the room and sat on the ground. They eagerly asked about their lives in the disciple courtyard.

Of course, everyone was more concerned about how Chen Xun knew Su Tang, the direct descendant of the Su Clan’s ancestor. Why did he refuse to join Su Tang’s sect in public when such a good opportunity was before them?

Chen Xun naturally couldn’t tell so many people the secrets behind this. Seeing that there were a lot of stones and wood piled up in the courtyard, he changed the topic and asked Zuoqiu, “Are you planning to settle down here?”

“Yes, the business trip can reach the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge. I was thinking that everyone should have a place to stay in Canglan City in the future. Previously, it was the tribal trials. The barbarian martial artists in the tribal trials were forbidden to enter the trials area. In a few days, the tribal tribes should send people over,” Zuoqiu said with a worried expression. “I just don’t know if Ghost Faction will get in the way.”

Canglan City was a mix of dragons and snakes, with a million people.

Apart from the Su Clan and the Azure Water School, there were also countless small and medium-sized clans and rogue cultivators. The thousands of clans that lived in the Azure Water Wilderness had to go to Azure Water City for any exchanges and transactions.

Regardless of the aspect, cultivating in Azure Water City was far more convenient than the secluded and remote Black Python.

“Three people, you must have my master.”

Even if he couldn’t enter the Azure Water School, Chen Xun believed that if he stayed in Azure Water City, he would still be able to find a cultivation method suitable for him to cultivate.

Sometimes, it wasn’t that the more profound and profound a cultivation technique was, the better. More importantly, it was to find a cultivation technique that was suitable for his current stage of cultivation.

Although Daoist Azurewood was only a peak ninth level Witch Barbarian, and perhaps he had no hope of advancing to the Reincarnation Realm in his current life, Chen Xun had profited greatly from his book, The Residual Dao Connotation Solution, which had almost fully explained the principles of a True Yang Realm martial cultivator.

He believed that amongst the millions of people in Azure Water City, there would definitely not be no such talented person.

Chen Xun had thought about it a long time ago. Even if he couldn’t enter the Academy, he would still have to settle down in Azure Water City for the time being. However, Zong Ya, Zong Ling, and Nanxi’s initial plan was to enter the Azure Water Academy. It was better not to return to the Black Python without entering the Azure Water Academy.

Comparatively speaking, the Left Thorn Division was more thoughtful. Zuoqiu led the team into Azure Water City, and they had already considered setting up a foothold.

Although the Left Thorn Tribe did not have any Heavenly Barbarians who had advanced to the Reincarnation Realm, as a tribe with more than ten thousand clans, they were also one of the few large tribes in the northern mountain range of Python Fang Ridge. The Left Thorn Tribe had far more mid-and upper-tier Barbarian Martial Cultivators than Montenegro and Black Python. Whether it was their foresight or their understanding of the rules of the future, they were indeed much stronger than Black Python and Black Mountain.

Zuoqiu looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his strength was not because his cultivation had already advanced to the upper level of Barbarian Martial Arts. In fact, his personal knowledge and courage were much stronger than Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya, and the others.

Facing the assassination of the Gui Xi Tribe, Zuoqiu gathered the disciples of the Beishan Tribe at the critical moment to hold onto their group and persevere until Chen Xun rushed to ask for help.

After entering Azure Water City for only half a month, Zuoqiu had already started settling down. He was indeed more meticulous and planned than the other youths. No wonder the disciples of Northern Mountain were able to gather around him and not disperse.

************************

Chen Xun was planning to stay in Azure Water City for the time being, but if he wanted to cultivate, he needed a quiet room that wasn’t disturbed by others.

The courtyard on the south side of the city was too simple and crude. There were only six or seven shed grass houses. Apart from the beast skin tent, almost five or six people squeezed into a shack and slept on the ground.

In such a simple and crude courtyard, everyone squeezed into it, and it was extremely difficult to turn around, let alone cultivate calmly.

However, Chen Xun couldn’t live separately from Zuoqiu and the others at this time.

Apart from worrying about Zong Ya and Zong Ling’s safety, he wanted to find a place to cultivate in Azure Water City, so he could only stay with Zuoqiu and the others.

In Azure Water City, there was a mix of fish and dragons. Not only was the Gui Xi Tribe eyeing them covetously, the high-ranking Su Quan also harbored hatred towards him.

With Su Tang’s disturbance, no one in Azure Water City would be blind and openly come to cause trouble. However, if he didn’t join hands with Zuoqiu and the others to hold the group, he would be left alone and it would be hard to say anything.

In Azure Water City, apart from the forces of the Su Clan, Azure Water College, and the other major clans, there were also countless rogue cultivators, evil cultivators, and even other sects and clans that had hidden forces.

Su Quan and Ghost Faction didn’t even need to send people to attack directly. As long as they spread the news of their whereabouts and carrying large quantities of talismans and spirit pills, he would be forced to flee.

As long as there were enough benefits to entice them, those rogue cultivators and evil cultivators who didn’t have a foot to catch wouldn’t care that Su Tang was the direct descendant of the Su Clan’s ancestor.

After they succeeded, they would at most leave and stay in another sect’s territory. From now on, they would not step into the Azure Water Lands. Su Tang was the direct descendant of the Su Clan’s ancestor. No matter how high her cultivation was, what could she do to them?

If Chen Xun really thought that he would be able to gain a foothold in Azure Water City by hugging Su Tang’s thigh, then he would really only be a thirteen or fourteen year old innocent youth.

Seriously, he should be twenty-five years old this year. His mind would not be as simple as Su Tang’s, nor would it be like those people from Zong Ya and the others who were so straightforward, unknowingly flexible, and unable to see through the sinister nature of people’s hearts.

******************

It quickly darkened. Several disciples ran out to buy wine and meat. Everyone sat on the ground, grabbing meat and drinking wine. Only the cautious Zuoqiu arranged for people to stand guard in the courtyard.

Chen Xun walked out of the courtyard and noticed that there were some people sneaking around the alley. He didn’t know if there were any spies from Ghost Faction, but he knew that Zuoqiu’s caution was necessary.

With Zuoqiu around, he didn’t need to worry too much before he could cultivate in peace.

Very quickly, Ge Yi personally brought two Sui Hu and two camels and horses to South City to bring Chen Xunluo’s miscellaneous belongings back to the courtyard.

Chen Xun and the others stayed in the monastery. Apart from the bronze medicine furnace, the heavy spear, the iron giant bow, and other items that were inconvenient to carry with them, there was nothing else left in the monastery. However, the two camels carried heavy objects on their backs and the large animal hide pouches were wrapped tightly.

After taking it off, Chen Xun discovered that apart from the things they left in the courtyard, Ge Yi had also packed and delivered the hundreds of silk manuals in the study room.

Ge Yi said, “The magic robes and the four Learning Palace Seals that you are wearing are extremely precious. The Su Wu Commandant’s Manor needs to take them back. However, it is not convenient for the other disciples to use the miscellaneous items that you used in the monastery. I will pack them all up and send them over to you. See if there are any deficiencies in the items.”

“Thank you, Master Ge.” Chen Xun bowed in thanks.

The Su Wu Commandant’s Manor would take back the Learning Palace Seal. The robes weren’t surprising to him, but these hundreds of silk manuscripts, which looked ordinary to others, were ten times more valuable than the Learning Palace Seal and the robes. He was filled with gratitude towards Ge Yi in his heart.

Ge Yigui was the deacon of Commandant Su Wu’s mansion. As Su Qingfeng’s right-hand man, he even risked being killed on the spot by Su Quan today and wanted to stop Lou Jiao from taking the opportunity to kill the Northern Mountain disciples. Apart from being grateful, what else could he have in his heart?

Zuoqiu and the others were also very grateful to Ge Yi.

Although it was Ge Yi who arranged for Beishan disciples to participate in the bloody trial, everyone knew that Ge Yi was only following the orders of the Su Clan.

“This place is too crude …”

Ge Yi walked into the courtyard. The sparse wooden fence surrounded a muddy area. The walls of a few shed houses were breathable. It was going to be summer in two months. The animal hide tent would be stuffy and hot. He didn’t know how these forty to fifty Northern Mountain disciples would live in this courtyard.

Now that Master Thirteen had something to do outside, he didn’t know when he would return to Azure Water City. How to deal with Master Four’s troubles was not something Ge Yi could make a decision about.

However, even though Chen Xun, Gu Jianfeng, and the others had all been expelled from the Azure Water College, as representatives of the disciples of the Northern Mountain Tribe, they were also cultivators. They lived in the Southern City, where fish and dragons mixed together. This truly made him a little worried.

Ge Yi told Chen Xun and the others about the situation in Canglan City.

Only then did Chen Xun realize that Azure Water City was so vast, but the most crowded and dilapidated southern city was inhabited by lowly slaves, slaves, and vagrants. There were even bandits, evil cultivators, and vagrants who weren’t bound by the Su Clan that were hiding in the southern city.

The Gui Xi Tribe and Fourth Master would not openly deal with them, but they lived in the chaotic Southern City, so it was hard to say what would happen. Moreover, Fourth Master and the Gui Xi Tribe were able to shirk their responsibilities if anything happened.

The north city was under the control of the Sixth Commandant’s Manor and the Su Clan’s direct descendants. It was the true core of Azure Water City. However, most of the small and medium-sized clans and sects in the city, as well as the wandering cultivators that had flooded into Azure Water and the business traveling between Cloud Continent and the Western Wilderness, lived in the east and west cities. That was the main city of Azure Water.

The untouchables, slaves, and vagrants of South City were usually forbidden to enter the main city at will. Even if they entered with orders, they could not spend the night in the main city.

If there were still residents of South City stranded in the main city after the curfew, they would be captured by the patrolling guards for a few days to eat in prison and be released with a ransom fine. In the worst case, they would be beaten to death on the spot.

Compared to the chaos in South City, the main city was three times larger, with only 300,000 to 400,000 inhabitants. Moreover, the Law Office was in charge of public security, and rarely did loose cultivators or evil cultivators dare to cause trouble in the main city.

The Gui Xi Tribe no longer expected to take back those seven talismans and three Nine Yuan Orifice Nurturing Pills from Chen Xun and the others. They were afraid that news would soon spread that they would connive at rogue and evil cultivators attacking Chen Xun and the others.

If Chen Xun and the others stayed in South City for another day, it would be a little more dangerous.

“There is a courtyard near my house. There are six courtyards on either side of the courtyard. It can barely accommodate forty to fifty people. It only requires a thousand gold coins,” Ge Yi said. “I’ll go to the monastery to pack your things. There are a few unimportant artifacts that are worth a thousand gold coins.”

Only when cultivation resources were involved would they be priced with Heavenly Dipper Talisman Money. Secular life, buy a house, thousand gold refers to thousand jin of bronze.

A thousand jin of bronze could be considered a considerable amount of wealth in Azure Water City, but in the eyes of xiuzhe, it was nothing
