Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Wuzhaiguan City, the endless flow of streets.

When Chen You talked about the delicious snacks of Chu State, he seemed to have started talking and kept talking.

Lin Bai also listened patiently while following Chen You to the next teleportation array.

"By the way, Brother Chen, why is the name 'Wuzhaiguancheng' so special?"

Lin Bai asked curiously.

Whether in the Demon World or the Ancient Continent, most city names are based on two or three characters.

There are very few names as difficult to pronounce as "Wuzhaiguancheng".

Chen You slowly explained: "This story is very long to tell."

"Probably 70,000 years ago, there was no 'Wuzhaiguancheng' here, but a state boundary."

"At that time, the state was extremely chaotic. It was a gathering place for countless demonic giants and vicious villains."

"They formed their own gangs within the boundaries of this state and occupied the mountains as kings."

"In the midst of constant internal friction, we continue to make breakthroughs, continue to devour the other party's power, and continue to strengthen ourselves."

"Eventually, after thousands of years of chaos, five cottages emerged within the state's borders."

"It's a bandit cottage similar to a mortal dynasty."

"They divided this state border and trained dead soldiers and troops. However, all caravans passing through this state border were miserable."

"He not only wants to intercept the goods of the caravan, but after stealing the goods, he will also kill and kill the entire caravan."

"..."

"The five cottages would fight against each other in normal times, but once the Chu State sent troops to destroy them, they all shared the same hatred and relied on various magic formations and treasures to deal with the Chu State's army."

"It took almost five hundred years of conquest before the Chu army flattened this territory."

"Kill all the big bandits in the five strongholds. Only then can this den of thieves be completely destroyed."

"In order to commemorate this great victory, the then Emperor Chu ordered a city to be built here and named it 'Wuzhaiguan City'."

"..."

"Later, the Chu State gradually discovered that Wuzhaiguan City had become a passage for the imperial power's eighteen states to the south, making Wuzhaiguan City more and more important."

"Nearly all warriors coming from the south, whether they come with caravans or teleport, have to pass through Wuzhai Pass."

"A large number of warriors came and went, making Wuzhaiguan City gradually prosperous."

"..."

Hearing Chen You's words, Lin Bai nodded in realization.

The two walked through the streets and alleys and came to the next teleportation array.

"Brother Lin, the teleportation array is ahead."

"Through this teleportation array, we can enter the territory of the Eighteen Imperial States. After a few teleportations across state boundaries, I will be able to reach the Imperial Capital and you will be able to reach Sangzhou."

The two of them walked toward the teleportation array, only to find that countless warriors had already gathered in front of the teleportation array, making endless noises.

Lin Bai was curious and stepped forward to hear what happened.

"Sorry, everyone."

"The teleportation array leading from Wuzhaiguan City to Kezhou was damaged by gangsters."

"We are sending array mages to speed up the repair."

"The array master estimates that the teleportation array can be repaired within three months at the latest."

"Before the teleportation array is repaired, please be patient and either take a short rest in Wuzhaiguan City, or choose other ways to leave."

In front of the teleportation formation, officials affiliated with the Chu State Government Office were persuading them hard.

Hearing that the teleportation array was damaged, many warriors muttered a few curses, turned around and left.

Chen You frowned and touched his chin with a strange look in his eyes: "The state boundary teleportation array in Chu State is the foundation of the country and cannot be easily damaged."

"Who is it that dared to come to Wuzhaiguan to cause trouble?"

Lin Bai noticed that around the teleportation array, in addition to some array masters who were extremely busy, there were also many men wearing black uniforms with double swords repaired with gold patterns on their chests. They stood with their arms folded and looked around coldly. A warrior ready to cause trouble.

Zhao Xingsi.

After being glared at by the Zhaoxing Division warriors, many angry warriors were so frightened that they peeed and hurriedly turned around and left.

"Brother Lin, it seems we have to choose another way to set off."

"That's all we have to do."

The teleportation array was destroyed and could not be repaired within three months.

Lin Bai and Chen You naturally could not stay in Wuzhai Pass for three months, so they could only choose other ways to leave Wuzhai Pass.

Fortunately, Wuzhaiguan City was a transportation fortress leading to the eighteen imperial states of the Chu Kingdom. It was a gathering place for trade, and there was no shortage of passenger and merchant ships of all kinds.

Lin Bai and Chen You walked around the Wuzhai Pass together, and soon found He Shi's caravan.

"Are you two going to take a ride?"

Lin Bai and Chen You came to a spiritual boat.

On the spirit boat, the flag of the "Shanhe Chamber of Commerce" was hung.

Seeing Lin Bai and Chen You lingering in front of the Chamber of Commerce, an old man stepped out of the spirit boat and asked with a smile.

"You're bothering me, old man."

"The two brothers and I have come all the way. We used to use the teleportation array to cross the state border."

"But I didn't expect that when I came to Wuzhaiguan City, the teleportation array was destroyed by bad guys, so I had to find other ways to leave."

"If the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce is willing to help, the two brothers and I will be grateful."

"As for the shipping fee...please don't worry, old man, we are willing to pay a high price."

Chen You stepped forward to chat with a smile.

The old man smiled and said: "It just so happened that our Chamber of Commerce encountered bandits in front of us, and most of the guards in the Chamber of Commerce were damaged."

"If you two are willing to act as escorts temporarily, then we can take you for a ride."

"As for the shipping fee, that's not necessary."

"If you two are not willing to act as bodyguards, then please find other places."

After hearing the old man's words, Lin Bai noticed that the outer shell of the spirit boat was full of sword marks and flame scorch marks.

Now, several formation mages have been rectified, and they are working hard to repair the spirit boat. It is obvious that there was a fierce battle before.

"Brother Lin, look..."

Chen You was unsure about paying attention and asked Lin Bai.

"It doesn't matter to me." Lin Bai responded with a smile.

Chen You nodded, smiled, and asked, "Then you don't know where the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce is heading for this trip?"

The old man said: "Kezhou, King Wu's City."

When Chen You heard this, he said to Lin Bai: "There is a state boundary teleportation array in King Wu City in Kezhou. After we arrive at King Wu City, we can go to the next state boundary through the teleportation array in King Wu City."

Lin Bai agreed calmly: "Okay, the two brothers and I are willing to temporarily serve as the guards of the Shanghe Chamber of Commerce."

The old man smiled broadly and asked for the identity tokens from Lin Bai and Chen You. After confirming that they were correct, he let Lin Bai and Chen You board the ship.

"You two can have a good rest on the deck. As for the cabin, it is a key place for our Shanhe Merchant Guild. If there is nothing unnecessary, you two should not enter the cabin."

"This is the rule."

"If you two don't obey the rules, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

The old man asked a few words, and Lin Bai and Chen You agreed repeatedly. They found a secluded place on the deck, looked at the scenery, and chatted.
