C440 Red Salt City
However, Yun Fei was still very curious about the power of the Divine Soul Communication. How did the Divine Soul Communication achieve different races, different worlds, humans, Gods and Demon Beast? As long as one's divine soul was strong enough, one could use the Divine Soul Communication. One could instantly understand what the opponent was trying to say. The only difference was the concept of measuring. The Divine Soul Communication seemed to be a universal communication method in the universe.
For this underground world, apart from contacting a few miners, there were also the guards of the mining areas, as well as the old Martial Emperor who was the City Lord. As for the rest, Yun Fei knew nothing about them, nor did he know what kind of danger they would face. Besides, he didn't intend to stay here for too long. Yun Fei decided not to summon Niu Ben and the others and the Little Bifang. He would be all alone. Without worries, he could act more conveniently.
Yun Fei chatted with the old man as he walked forward unhurriedly.
The soil under their feet was soft, the air was warm and humid, and the natural Yuan energy was abundant. The amount of spiritual energy contained within was also slightly more than that of the Nine-state Land. The vegetation that passed by was also quite dense, and Yun Fei was also a bit curious. Under the dim light all year round, how was it possible for photosynthesis to be carried out? Perhaps the plants here did not need photosynthesis?
The three-dimensional map that Yun Fei snatched from Prince Zhong Yuan did not include the underground structure. It could be said that when he first arrived here, he had no idea where he was going. Yun Fei did not have any destination either. He just wanted to simply stroll around this magical underground world and search for the ley lines.
Actually, Yun Fei had also thought that the ley lines might be inside the Spirit Stone Mine, but he had read about the Journey to the Earth's Core novels. He was very curious about this underground world. On Earth, there was no way to travel through the Earth's Core. Here, since there was a chance, he naturally had to go and take a look.
Travelling ten thousand miles and reading ten thousand books were all cultivation for Yun Fei. Thus, he captured a "guide" and learned the language here to understand the local customs and customs.
The two of them were now walking on a road about seven to eight meters wide, following the main road. Use it! Swiftly moving forward. Yun Fei's Divine Sense kept scanning the surroundings and found that there were also some wild beasts and Demon Beast here. However, most of them were of a lower level. It was estimated that a stronger hunter would be able to deal with them.
"Old Tang, how big is your Dongxing Country? Are there other countries around?" Yun Fei asked.
"Dongxing Country has a circumference of tens of thousands of miles. There are also a few countries around it, and there are two countries that have been fighting with us."
"Oh right, what are you guys gathering these Fire Spirit Stone for?"
"These Fire Spirit Stone are the strategic resources of the country, and they are not allowed to be sold privately. I have never used them before, but some powerful equipment and formations require these spirit stones. Especially the frontline battles, which require these spirit stones. " Tang Zhenye said.
"Where is the biggest Spirit Stone Mine in your Dongxing Country? " Yun Fei asked casually.
" Yes, in Red Salt City. " Tang Zhenye pondered for a moment and still said it. After he said it, his face turned red, and he was already blaming himself in his heart. He was a city lord of Dongxing Country, and the other party had obviously robbed him of all his spirit stones. It would be no different than treason if he told the other party about the Red Salt City.
"Bring me there. Don't worry, I'm not going to rob you of your spirit stones. I'm going to find something else." Yun Fei could feel Tang Zhenye's dilemma.
Under the deterrence of Yun Fei's powerful divine soul, Tang Zhenye nodded in agreement. He flew towards the direction of Red Salt City, and Yun Fei followed closely behind, wearing a flying device. The entire underground world seemed to be enveloped by a dark night sky. As he flew, there were towns and villages below that occasionally gave off light of different strengths and weaknesses.
The Red Salt City was not like Black Stone City, which stood on a mountain. Instead, it was located on a plain. It was said that the Spirit Stone Mine there was "open-air." As they were collecting spirit stones, they dug out a huge pit. The center of Red Salt City City was this huge pit. Hundreds of miles away, there were soldiers, guards, and miners.
The mining area of the Red Salt City was very large in production of spirit stones, and its quality was very high. It was highly valued by Dongxing Country, and it also attracted the attention of several surrounding countries. Because it was less than a thousand miles away from the border of Dongxing Country, the two countries bordering it were eyeing this Spirit Stone Mine covetously. Subsequently, it caused a chaotic war that lasted for many years.
There was a huge amount of top grade Fire Spirit Stone in the Red Salt City, and it also caused some powerful experts or rogue cultivators from the neighboring countries to come and steal it. Compared to Black Stone City, the defense of the Red Salt City was much stronger.
After flying for several hours, Yun Fei finally saw the outline of a huge city in the distance. The city was brightly lit, and he had arrived at Red Salt City. The two of them landed not far away from the city and walked towards the city gate.
"Stop! Red Salt City is under martial law. No one is allowed to enter!" Before they reached the city gate, the guard shouted from afar.
"I am the City Lord of Blackstone City, Tang Zhenye. Please let me through." Under Yun Fei's coercion, Tang Zhenye could only take out his City Lord Token and reveal his identity.
"City Lord Tang, please forgive us. The city is under martial law. The order we received is that no one is allowed to enter. No one is an exception." The city gate guard bowed respectfully to Tang Zhenye and said.
"Why is there such martial law? Even my imperial court, the lord of a city, is not allowed to enter." Tang Zhenye also felt that it was a little strange.
"There were major casualties in the mining area, the Emperor..." Before the city guard could finish speaking, a figure appeared beside the guard as though he had teleported. With a flash of sword light, the head of the guard flew up and was actually beheaded by a sword.
"Such a confidential matter, to actually tell others randomly, damn it!" Putting the sword back into its sheath, the middle-aged Martial Emperor who was wearing the general armor squinted his eyes at the corpse that was still spitting out blood. "Pull it down for me. Whoever speaks nonsense will use this as an example!"
"You, Blackstone City's City Lord? Why did you come here instead of guarding the station? This place will be under martial law soon, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. You, go back! " The general also had a look of disdain on his face towards Tang Zhenye.
"This official has something to do here. Please make it convenient for me." Under Yun Fei's request of spreading rumors, Tang Zhenye braced himself and begged again.
"I think you are old and muddle-headed? Or are you deaf? Aren't my words clear enough? Get lost! Go back to your Blackstone City!" The general was also a Late Period of Martial Monarch, but his rank was obviously higher than Tang Zhenye's. He was obviously dismissive of Tang Zhenye. With a gloomy expression, he shouted loudly.
From the mouth of the city gate guard who was killed, Yun Fei learned that something had happened in the mining area and the Emperor had come personally. Red Salt City was under martial law and this general should be similar to the commander of the ancient palace guards. He was in charge of the entrance and exit checkpoints. And judging from his attitude, he wanted to enter the Red Salt City peacefully. It seemed impossible.
"General, City Lord Tang is an official appointed by the Imperial Court, and he is older than you. How can you be so rude? This is too unreasonable. " Yun Fei said slowly.
"Where did this bastard come from? Shameless boasting! How dare you teach this general a lesson?" That general turned his head to look at Yun Fei. He was only a Martial Sovereign brat and thought that he was Tang Zhenye's follower.
