C56 Nanming City

Nanming City, located less than ten thousand miles north of Ye City, was one of the few big cities in Marquis Zhennan's fief. It had a population of over ten million, and the walls of the city were tall and wide. It was surrounded by a surprisingly large area and was connected to the traffic. The number of people coming and going was even more shocking. This Nanming City was the only way to get to the Five Mountain Sect.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sun was as red as blood. The warm afterglow emitted a gentle luster. It spread across the entire land. Looking from afar, the Nanming City looked like it was covered in a layer of faint golden armor. The entire city looked solemn and ancient, and it looked majestic and majestic.

At the entrance of the city, there were a lot of people. The flow of people was like carps in a river. They tightly blocked the entrance of the city, and the stream of people squeezed forward. The speed of the people moving forward was very slow. The black mass of people formed a long line in front of the entrance. The stream of people pushed and pushed each other, making a lot of noise. Gradually, it caused a trace of chaos.

"Everyone, don't push around. Line up and enter the city one by one. The auction will only start tomorrow. Don't worry, everyone. " Seeing this scene, the guards who were guiding the crowd into the city... A person shouted at the surging flow of people in front of him.

This person's attire was different from ordinary guards. It seemed like he was the leader of these guards. He was tall and strong, and his muscles bulged. He looked like an iron tower, and his cultivation was not low either. He was a beginner Essence Opening Stage warrior, and his voice came from his mouth. His voice was full of energy, and all the people in the crowd stopped moving. However, the noise immediately returned to normal.

"Who doesn't know that the auction will start tomorrow? However, there are so many people here this time. If we don't enter earlier, I'm afraid we won't even have a place to stay."

"That's right. We must hurry and squeeze in. If we're late, I'm afraid the inn will be full."

"Quickly let me in. Why should I queue up like these people? Look at their shabby appearance. They just entered the auction. Can they afford anything?"

"Brat, what did you say? Do you believe that I won't put you down right now?"

The noise of the crowd grew louder and louder. Some of the people were already quarreling with each other with the smell of gunpowder. They almost rolled up their sleeves and got into a fight. The scene was in chaos.

It had been five days. When the news that the Imperial Chamber of Commerce was going to hold an auction spread, every day, there was an endless stream of warriors who came to Nanming City, from the major sects to some small families and powers. There were also people who came. Every day, the guards had to face the scene in front of them.

The leader of the guards furrowed his brows. These people didn't listen to him at all. They pushed forward with all their might. The crowd pushed forward with great force. The crowd kept pushing back the guards who were maintaining order. It was miserable. He shouted a few more words of rebuke, but the crowd still did as they were told. They did not take him seriously at all and continued to squeeze towards the city gate. It was as chaotic as a vegetable market.

At this moment, a flaming shadow was rapidly approaching. Dust and dirt flew up behind the shadow. This shadow was very fast. In an instant, it arrived in front of them and stopped. Only then did everyone see clearly. This shadow was actually a scarlet horse carrying a youth in light blue clothes. However, the crowd only gave him a few more glances before ignoring him.

Duanmu Kuang got off the horse and frowned. After he left the Huang family, he started to return to the sect. He had been rushing nonstop for the whole day. At this moment, he was a little tired. He was preparing to rest in Nanming City for a night before rushing back tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he saw the scene in front of him. There was a sea of people here. He could only stop at a place very far away from the city gate.

"Why are there so many people here?" Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, Duanmu Kuang was very puzzled. The last time he went to the Huang family and passed by the Nanming City, although there were also a lot of people there, however, there was absolutely no such sea of people like the current one. Moreover, most of the people here were basically warriors. From their clothes, it could be seen that these people belonged to different forces. It was as if they had rushed to Nanming City from all directions to participate in some grand event.

"Brother, this little brother has come to pay his respects. May I ask why so many people want to enter Nanming City? I remember that there weren't that many people when I came to Nanming City last time. I hope brother can enlighten me." Duanmu Kuang stepped forward and stared at a friendly young man. He politely cupped his hands and asked.

"You don't know?" The youth had a suspicious look on his face as he sized Duanmu Kuang up from head to toe. When he saw ___'s clothes clearly, he said, "It's like this. I heard that the Imperial Chamber of Commerce in Nanming City has taken over a batch of rare items this time. The auction will be held tomorrow, and this news has already spread for several days. I don't know how many people have come to Nanming City these past few days. We have arrived late. Many people have come a few days ago. Little brother, are you not here to participate in the auction? "

The young man asked Duanmu Kuang in doubt. One should know that all the warriors who came to Nanming City were here for the auction, but this disciple of Five Mountain Sect seemed to know nothing.

Duanmu Kuang rubbed his nose and said, "I am just passing through this place. I want to rest in Nanming City for a night and leave tomorrow, but I don't know anything about the auction."

"Oh... Then you really didn't come at the right time." The young man suddenly understood, and then pointed at the crowd in front of him and said to Duanmu Kuang, "Looking at this scene, I'm afraid that we will only be able to enter the Nanming City at night. Furthermore, there are too many people coming these few days. I'm afraid that the inns in the city have already been filled to the brim. It wouldn't be easy to find a place to stay, but there were many temples in the city. Little brother, if you can't find an inn to stay in, you can go to these temples and spend the night there. " The young man was very enthusiastic and reminded Duanmu Kuang. He also told ___ where he could stay.

Duanmu Kuang nodded. After thanking the young man, he didn't say anything else. He followed the stream of people in front of him and slowly moved forward like a snail. Only when the sky had turned completely dark did he enter Nanming City.

"Shop owner, come and get a room."

"Customer, I'm sorry. The restaurant is full. Please go to another place."

"Sir, please get me a room."

"Customer, I'm really sorry. The guest rooms in my restaurant are full. Do you want to order some food?"

After looking for more than a dozen inns, the rooms were all full. Even some small inns with only a few guest rooms were the same. Duanmu Kuang no longer had any temper. He looked at the huge Bright City Inn in front of him and walked in.

"Manager, do you have any empty rooms?" Duanmu Kuang came to the counter and asked the innkeeper who was sitting inside. If this inn was still full, he would prepare to go to the temple to stay.

"Sir, I'm sorry. My inn was full two days ago. But now, there are no empty rooms." The fat shopkeeper was in the midst of settling the accounts when he heard this. After that, he looked at Duanmu Kuang and continued, "There are too many people who have come to the Nanming City these few days, let alone our Bright City Inn. Even some of the small inns were already full. Now, many of them have gone to some of the temples in the city to stay. Customer, you can go there and take a look. "

Duanmu Kuang didn't say anything else. He lifted his leg and left. At this time, a surprised voice was heard, "Junior Brother Duanmu, is that you? I am over here. Come over quickly."

This voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Duanmu Kuang turned his head and looked. It was Zhou Yi Yang, who he had chatted with during the sect's examination. He was standing in front of a table and waving at him before walking over.

A few disciples of the Five Mountain Sect were sitting at the table, looking at their sect uniform. They were all inner circle disciples just like Zhou Yi Yang. When they saw that Duanmu Kuang was only an outer circle disciple, they didn't seem very enthusiastic about his arrival. However, since Duanmu Kuang knew Zhou Yi Yang, they couldn't be too cold towards him. They only nodded slightly, but didn't greet him. It seemed like doing this would cost them their value.

Duanmu Kuang saw their expressions and frowned. These people's behavior made him unhappy. If it wasn't for Zhou Yi Yang being here... He turned around and left, but it wasn't a good time for him to act up. He silently greeted everyone and sat down.

"Junior Brother Duanmu, I haven't seen you since the exam. I didn't expect to meet you here. That's great." Zhou Yi Yang was very enthusiastic. Before Duanmu Kuang could sit down, he smiled and said. Then, he came forward with a cheap smile, "Junior brother, your achievements in the sect have left me in awe for a long time. I heard that even senior sister Zhong Lingyan was taken down by you. Truly envious. Junior brother, are you also here to participate in the auction? "
