Chapter 258 Gengxin City Early in the morning, shortly after daybreak, on a street in Shrek City, beneath the flamboyantly written Chinese characters "Tang Sect", a gate suddenly opened. A young man glanced at the rising sun in the east, stepped out of the gate and was about to turn around and close the door again, but he saw a figure standing in the yard. "Big brother." Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao who was standing at the door, with a hint of worry in his eyes. "Although the three empires and the Sun-Moon Empire have negotiated peace, our relationship with them is not very good. Will you be in danger if you go there?" Although Tang Ya is the leader of the Tang Clan, most of the time it is Bei Bei who takes care of all the big and small matters in the Tang Clan. Over time, he now has an aura of majesty just by standing in the yard. However, to Huo Yuhao, Beibei was still as elegant and easy-going as before, and his words showed his concern for him. "Don't worry, big brother. I still have some means of escape, and I won't be going alone this time." After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Bei Bei thought about it and nodded gently, "Okay, be careful on your way." “Yes.” Huo Yuhao nodded, then closed the Tang Sect’s gate and walked out of the city.
Arriving outside the city, Huo Yuhao identified the direction, and two wings as thin as cicada wings spread out behind him, carrying his body into the air. Ever since the war two and a half years ago left several major soul guide groups from the Sun-Moon Empire in Shrek City, the Soul Guide Department of Shrek Academy has developed a lot. Huo Yuhao made rapid progress, combining the magic of another world with soul guides, and successfully made a ninth-level soul guide with the cultivation of an eight-ring soul douluo. This flying soul guide is his latest achievement. After looking down at Shrek City, Huo Yuhao flew towards the south. After the last continental war, the relationship between the three empires had eased a lot, and the border was not as strict as before. Just after Huo Yuhao crossed the border, he flew for not too long before a prosperous city came into view. The first thing you see is not the city wall, but a series of conspicuous buildings. The city has long since expanded beyond the city walls. Roads divide the buildings into different areas, and bustling crowds of people move slowly on the roads. For Huo Yuhao, the only city without city walls was Mingdu, which he had seen when he went to the Sun-Moon Empire to participate in the elite competition. Among the territories of the three empires, this was the first time he saw a city with city walls. However, the people here have long been accustomed to the city today. Even without the protection of city walls, they do not think it is very dangerous here. "Please stay, sir. We are in front of us at Gengxin City in Liujin Province. Please identify yourself." Before Huo Yuhao could get close, two soldiers had flying soul guides light up behind them and flew into the air to stop him. Huo Yuhao calmly glanced at the sky. Although he couldn't see it with his naked eyes, he knew through spiritual detection that the sky above Gengxin City was covered with ultra-high-altitude detection soul guides. The advanced soul guides obtained from the Soul Guide Corps of the Sun-Moon Empire naturally include more than just humanoid soul guides. It can even be said that most of the soul guides were disassembled by Shrek Academy and then remade according to their principles. At the beginning, Wang Nan agreed to leave those soul guides at Shrek Academy, and one of the conditions was that the academy needed to tell Wang Nan about the soul guide technology after it gained something. Therefore, Huo Yuhao was not surprised that Gengxin City had an ultra-high altitude detection soul guide. "Hello, I'm from Shrek City." Huo Yuhao did not mean to embarrass the soldiers and took out his ID from the storage soul guide. One of the soldiers took a closer look and handed the ID back respectfully, "Hello, your identity information has been entered. Welcome to the metal capital Gengxin City. I hope you can leave a good memory here." "Also, flying is prohibited over Gengxin City. I hope you can understand." Huo Yuhao nodded, came to the ground as he was told and continued to walk forward. He then discovered that the buildings here were much taller than those in other cities, and there were traces of soul guides everywhere, some of which he had never seen before. With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that although some of the new soul guides looked strange, they did not contain any advanced technology. However, even if they were just some low-level soul guides, being able to produce so many new things at once was not something that ordinary people could do. Some of these soul guides are even useless to soul masters, but are more friendly to civilians who have no soul power.
Occasionally, there would be soldiers patrolling the streets. Without exception, they were equipped with various soul guides, enough to deal with most mid-level and low-level soul masters. Continuing along the long street, Huo Yuhao finally saw the original city wall of Gengxin City. The city wall here was far from being comparable to that of Xingluo City, and now it no longer served the purpose of protecting Gengxin City, but instead became a landmark building. Passing through the city gate, the buildings within the city walls finally had some characteristics of the Star Luo Empire. The tall city walls seemed to divide the city into two parts: inside and outside the city. The part outside the city was filled with various tall buildings and novel soul guides, while the part inside the city retained many of the original features of the Star Luo Empire. Although some soul guides were installed outside some rooms and shops, they still retained some of their original appearance. Needless to say, the tallest building in the city has three large gilded characters "Duke's Mansion" hung above the gate. Outside the gate stands a soldier in armor, with soul power flowing through his body, indicating that his cultivation is not too low. "The Duke's Palace..." Huo Yuhao was familiar with these three words, but the words he saw now were somewhat different from those he had seen as a child. After standing there for a while, he finally took a step forward. "Hello, I'm from Shrek City, and I'm here to look for Duke Qitian." The soldier at the door saluted towards Huo Yuhao and said, "I'm sorry, the Duke is not in the mansion at this moment." "Then when will he come back?" "I don't know what you want, what do you want?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly when he heard this. The Xingluo Empire had asked him and Brother Wang to go to the Sun Moon Empire, so he should have received the news in advance. Why wasn't he in the mansion now? While he was thinking, there was a noisy sound coming from the street not far away. He turned around and looked. The first thing he saw was a luxuriously decorated building with a conspicuous hammer logo hanging on it. He was no longer the same person as when he first went out, so he naturally recognized that the sign was the logo of the auction house. "I don't know where the Duke is. You just said you are from Shrek City. Maybe we can go there and ask." (End of this chapter)
