PS: This is my first time writing fantasy, I know there are many shortcomings, please bear with me. If you have any opinions, feel free to leave them in the comments section, I'll read them all. However, please avoid insults and personal attacks. A new week has begun, please collect and recommend this work, otherwise it won't look good on the recommended list.
Although both are among the eight major cities, Feng City and Mist City are vastly different. Mist City is shrouded in thick fog all year round, while Feng City is always clear and sunny with vast skies. The city walls are exceptionally high and majestic, making it a more impressive city than Mist City, capable of accommodating a population of 300,000.
The sunset fell, and the afterglow spilled over the city walls, which made Fengcheng's grandeur even more prominent.
At this time, a team of cars came from afar, with each person's face showing a relaxed expression, looking dusty and tired, as if they hadn't stopped much along the way.
"After arriving at Feng Cheng, I invite everyone to have a delicious meal and drink some good wine. Also, the reward that I promised everyone will be given out without missing a single cent." Li Qiang said loudly with a hint of joy on his face as he gazed at Feng Cheng which was within sight.
Everyone else also slightly nodded their heads. Since killing the Eight Freaks of the Windy City, they had been extremely relaxed on the road. Wei Hong's face also revealed a hint of a smile. This journey, especially the battle with three of the Eight Freaks of the Windy City, made him have a clear understanding of his current strength. Next, they could first rest in the Windy City for two days.
A group of people began to line up and enter Feng City, entering the city required paying a fee, Li Qiang naturally paid it, then he directly headed towards Feng City. This time, the treasured sword that Zhang's family was escorting was for the lord of Feng City, so they headed towards the lord's mansion.
The layout of Feng City was not much different from that of Fog City, and the city lord's mansion was also located in the central city. The sky had already darkened, but on the main streets, people were still bustling about, and business was booming. At this time, suddenly, the sound of horseshoes echoed from afar.
Right after that, Wei Hong looked into the distance and saw a red-clothed girl galloping on horseback, even colliding with and knocking down many people in her haste. Wei Hong slightly shook his head, this should be the young lady of that family!
Everyone didn't want to get involved, after all, the forces in Feng City were complex and intertwined. The fewer things they had to deal with, the better. So Li Qiang let everyone clear a path and let the red-clothed girl go first.
At this moment, a three or four-year-old child suddenly rushed into the middle, while the red-clothed youth was galloping on horseback, and it seemed that he was about to hit the child. At this time, Wei Hong clearly saw a flash of annoyance on the face of the red-clothed youth, who directly prepared to trample over the child's body.
"Whoosh!"
Wei Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, his footsteps light and swift as he quickly arrived at the center. At the same time, his body involuntarily emitted a faint aura of sword energy, startling the black horse, which let out a long whinny and raised its front hooves high, sending the red-clad girl tumbling to the ground.
Wei Hong handed the child in front of him to a woman beside him, and was about to return to the team, but suddenly felt a sharp attack coming towards himself.
Turning around, he only saw a long whip coming straight at him. Wei Hong's mouth slightly curled up as he directly used two fingers to clamp down on the whip and gave it a light tug. Then, with a light release of his hand, the red-clothed girl once again fell onto her buttocks on the ground.
However, the red-clothed girl directly jumped up from the ground and came at Wei Hong again without making a sound. Her face was still icy cold, not showing any anger. Wei Hong felt secretly surprised that she hadn't gone all out, and he once again sent her flying back with his attack.
"This young lady, we were also anxious to save people just now. You see, let's just drop it like this, and we apologize to you." Li Qiang had no choice but to come forward and act as a peacemaker, looking at the red-clothed girl with an apologetic expression.
Upon hearing Li Qiang's words, a look of disgust flashed across the red-clothed girl's eyes. She immediately jumped back onto her horse and quickly departed. From start to finish, even though Wei Hong had been shocked to the ground, the red-clothed girl didn't say a single word.
"Gentlemen, the forces in Feng City are complex and intertwined. It's better to avoid trouble whenever possible. Let's not stir up unnecessary problems." Li Qiang's face showed a hint of bitter smile, but in his heart, he was secretly relieved that the red-clothed girl didn't pursue the matter further, and he advised Wei Hong accordingly.
Wei Hong nodded slightly, and the crowd continued to move forward. However, Wei Hong was recalling the red-clothed girl from just now. For some reason, he always felt that something was off about her. The way she presented herself was completely unlike what a normal person should be like.
"What are you thinking about?" Wei Wuming walked up and asked in a low voice, seeing that Wei Hong had been dazing off.
"Nothing, let's go!" Wei Hong said, but suddenly froze. He knew something was off - the girl didn't have any martial arts aura, yet her strength was even greater than a fifth-rank warrior.
"What did you guys feel from that red-clothed girl just now?" Wei Hong asked softly, looking at Wei Ning and Wei Wuming.
"Haha, I knew you were spacing out! Are you taken with that young girl? But she's got her face covered, can't see what she looks like." Wei Ning thought he understood Wei Hong's thoughts and burst into loud laughter.
Wei Hong's face showed a hint of speechlessness, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"That girl didn't have even a hint of martial aura on her."
Wei Hong looked at Kuang Xu and said, "You've also noticed."
Kuang Xu nodded and continued: "She probably isn't without martial arts cultivation, but rather her physical constitution is quite special."
Wei Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard Kuang Xu continue to say: "When she attacks, I can feel the aura of martial arts cultivation, but if she stops, there is not even a hint of martial artist aura on her body. If I'm not mistaken, she should be one of those few special constitutions."
Wei Hong's face showed a hint of surprise, could it be that within Wuji country, there actually existed special physiques?
Zhen Ling Continent, there are some geniuses who have been favored by heaven, their physique will have a certain bias or speciality, such as Lei attribute warriors. If they cultivate Lei system skills, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort. For example, some Kong Ling bodies can hold superhuman martial energy, and in battles against those of the same rank, they can exhaust their opponents to death.
Everyone walked and chatted, but then they talked about the problem of the sect's grand comparison. Suddenly, Kuang Xu looked at Wei Hong and said with a hint of mystery: "In next year's sect grand comparison, you Wei family can finally wipe out your past shame."
Wei Hong smiled faintly, but didn't say anything. A year's time can bring about many changes. With his current strength, it's fundamentally impossible for him to stand out in the Sect's Grand Competition. Therefore, the top priority is to improve his strength.
While chatting, they directly arrived at the city lord's mansion. The city lord's mansion directly had those few boxes of things taken away. Then, Li Qiang settled everyone in a guest house, invited everyone to have dinner together, and each person also received their own reward.
Xu Han didn't stay at the inn, he glanced at Wei Hong with a slightly cold gaze and left directly. Kuang Xu also warned Wei Hong to be careful of Xu Han with a slight kindness, and didn't stay at the inn either.
Wei Hong's mouth curled up in a cold smile, completely ignoring the two of them. Instead, he exchanged a word with Wei Wu Ming and then entered the room to cultivate. This time they clashed, he felt that his Magic Illusion Sword Technique had made some progress.
"Niu Jinyang, you dare to come to my City Lord's mansion again?"
Just as Wei Hong closed his eyes and was about to start cultivating, a loud roar suddenly echoed throughout the entire sky of Feng City.
