663 Founding place to build a clan
Feng Yun and Yang Jian's spar lasted for hours until they finally decided to stop.
"Brother Yun, you are really awesome. You have improved so much." Yang Jian accepted his defeat and said in awe.
"You are as well." Feng Yun smiled. After coming back to the academy, Feng Yun met Yao Shi again. Three brothers once again went to the Starfall restaurant. "Feng Yun, you said you wanted to build your own clan. Have you found a place to start?" Yao Shi suddenly curiously asked.
Feng Yun shook his head and sighed, "I have no idea. The spiritual qi of the blazing sun dynasty is too thin, resources are scarce. I want to build a clan with a strong foundation, I am looking for a resourceful place. However, almost all good locations with spirit veins have been claimed already."
Both nodded with Feng Yun. They understood that Feng Yun must have wanted to build an independence clan without relying on any sect or empire.
Yao Shi thought for a moment and said, "Feng Yun give one day, I will make divination and found a suitable place for you."
"Divination!" Feng Yun was surprised. Yao Shi was practiced divination arts; his divination was very good. If he used his divination to find a place, it would be good.
"Please do that." Feng Yun nodded.
"Sure! Just give me one day." Yao Shi nodded.
"Okay!" Feng Yun nodded. Three of them spent their time sparing and strolling around. Yang Jian didn't stop and challenge Feng Yun for a spar, naturally lost again. However, he liked sparing against Feng Yun. There were very few people who were proficient in swordsmanship like Feng Yun.
...
Two days passed. At this time, Yao Shi finally walked out his room, a confused look on his face, holding an ancient compass in his hand. He thought for a moment, then he went to the library to borrow some books.
After an hour, Yao Shi met Feng Yun and told him the result of his divination, "Feng Yun, I just divination and luckily, I got a clear result this time. I don't know the location name, but this compass will help us." Feng Yun nodded. It was said that divination was the most mysterious supernatural art in this world. Only a few people who have the blessing of heaven could learn divination arts. "Yang Jian, are you coming?" Feng Yun asked.
"I am!" Yang Jian nodded lightly.
Next, Feng Yun, Yang Jian and Yao Shi left the martial academy. They followed the direction pointed by the compass of Yao Shi.
After flying for five hours. Yang Jian couldn't hold back and asked, "How further, we are about to reach at the border of the Black Tortoise Empire. Don't tell, it's in another empire."
"I don't know, we just have to follow the compass." Yao Shi said. They flew for one hour and reached a mountain range that was filled with cold yin qi and deathly spiritual qi.
"It's near!" Yao Shi slowed down and spoke.
"There is Death Qi Mountain in front, don't tell me it's here." Yang Jian looked at the dark mountain range in front and exclaimed, "Yao Shi, are you sure about your divination?"
"The Death Qi Mountain Range shared its border with three empires, yet none of the three empires wish to claim it. Because, the Death Qi Mountain Range short of half-forbidden place for humans as entire mountain ranges filled with deathly yin qi which is harmful to humans." Knowing Feng Yun didn't know about the Death Qi Mountain Range, Yao Shi told gave a brief detail.
Yao Shi took out a map from his storage ring and pondered for a moment while reading the map and spoke, "There is one city existed here in a hundred kilometers radius, it's called Hell City. Let me check its history."
After that, he took out a book which has records of surrounding cities, searched for the hell city's info.
"There is an ancient city not far from the Dead Soul Mountain Range, called Hell City. It is an ancient city, and it has existed for more than a hundred thousand years. The reason why it's called Hell City is because it's more chaotic than any other place. It was a place where mercenaries, raiders, and villains frequently resided, and it practically changed the City Lords a few times every year. Every time it changed its City Lord, it would dye the city red with, blood, and because it is too close to the Dead Soul Mountain Range, it was called Hell City. The Dead Soul Mountain Range's Yin Qi was too heavy, and it was famous for being a vicious place. Therefore, even the giant empires didn't want to take control of the city. They allowed the vagabonds to fight for it at all times."
"City of Hell? It sounds rather terrifying?" Feng Yun muttered. "I think it could be a good place for you to set up your clan." Yao Shi said with a serious face, "My divination revealed this location, there must be some short of secret in this place. We just have to explore it."
Yao Shi continued, "There are fights all year round. Those who are not strong enough can only be killed. Even if someone can occupy that place, they will still be affected by the Yin Qi of the Dead Qi Mountain Range after a long period of time. In the past, there was a rogue Imperial Rank who occupied the city for three years. This was the first city lord in history who had occupied the city for the longest time. But later, he suddenly died in the city. This caused a panic. Therefore, many experts didn't want the city to be affected by bad luck. Only those evil people who had been killing people all year round..."
"According to what you said, the City of Hell isn't a bad place. Then you want me to start from there? Are you asking me to die? " Feng Yun said angrily.
Even a Divine Rank warrior could only get himself killed. Feng Yun wasn't arrogant enough to be stronger than a Divine Rank. And even if he could protect himself, how would he protect his family?
"Haha, Feng Yun, don't worry. With your powerful fate, there's nothing they can do to you in Hell City. Do you still remember the Venomous Insect City? That is also known as the forbidden land. I have confidence in you." Yao Shi said with a faint smile.
Forget it. Let's choose another place, "Feng Yun said.
Yao Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Although Hell City is a dangerous place, the density of the spiritual energy there isn't any worse than any major powers. Cultivating there can help to improve one's strength. Moreover, you don't need to worry about other powers coming over to fight over it. You can continue to develop in peace. And I am not saying you should start your clan today. First, we will gather the more information, the main issue is the death qi as long as we found its source and destroy it or any other solution for it, we can change the Hell City's dangerous environment.
