C1123 Candle Cloud Country
C1123 Candle Cloud Country
As far as the eye could see, the horizon was linked to endless mountains and forests. This place was filled with spirit energy, and it was evident that this land was much richer than the Skypiercing Mountain Range.
"Ao Yan, this place is not bad, which country is it from?" Qin Yun asked Ao Yan.
"Master, this country is Candle Cloud Country." Ao Yan replied in a low voice, her tone filled with sorrow and complexity.
"Candle Cloud Country?" When Qin Yun heard Ao Yan's words, he fell into silence.
He clearly remembered that Lin Tian was from Candle Cloud Country, and back then, he had slaughtered half of their country, which was why he was here to kill them.
As for the reason, Qin Yun had never asked. Perhaps, he would be able to find an answer after coming to Candle Cloud.
"Since I've come here today, I might as well take a good look." Qin Yun looked at the endless land in front of him as he thought to himself.
The overall strength of Candle Cloud Country was once very strong and flourishing. In the boundless universe, it was considered one of the top nations. The Sky Bearing Empire, Sky Bearing Nation, and other nations simply weren't worth mentioning in comparison.
However, after being massacred by Lin Tian, Candle Cloud Country's national power began to gradually decline. However, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse, and Candle Cloud Country still played an important role in the boundless universe.
After flying for a short distance, Qin Yun saw a city standing on a gigantic mountain peak in the distance.
"Swish!" With a sound, Qin Yun transformed into a beam of light and landed in front of the city.
The city that was located at the border was heavily guarded. The city walls were tall and tall, almost reaching a hundred meters in height, and it was not hard to see that the walls were made of extremely hard stone. It was dozens of meters thick, and it was just like an indestructible fortress.
Above the fortress, three huge words were carved: Iron Spear City.
However, right now, it was dead silent in the city, as if it was night time.
"Iron Spear City?" Qin Yun said with a smile, "This city's name and its outer appearance really resemble each other."
With that said, Qin Yun headed for the city gate of Iron Spear City.
Before Qin Yun reached the city gate, a dozen or so beams of light descended from the sky. A dozen or so soldiers in red armor appeared in front of Qin Yun.
The man in the lead was around forty to fifty years old, and his Cultivation was around the middle stage half-god level. From the looks of it, he should be a commander, while the rest of the soldiers were basically Saint-rank Cultivation.
Steel Spear City was a border fortress. The soldiers here possessed extremely powerful Cultivation s, so Qin Yun naturally knew of this principle.
"Stop!" "Who is it!?" The commander said softly to Qin Yun.
"Where is a wandering cultivator? I've been on the road for a long time, and I want to enter the city to rest." Qin Yun said with a smile.
The commander sized Qin Yun up from head to toe. He knew that rogue cultivators were generally very strong, so he said with a deep voice, "I, Zhu Yun, am fighting with the Sky Bearing Empire. There is an order from above that no one is allowed to enter or leave Iron Spear City. Please go somewhere else."
Qin Yun had stayed at Apocalypse Mountain for five to six years. He had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
Furthermore, the world was ever-changing, and it was normal for war to break out between the two countries.
"Fine." Qin Yun answered and turned to leave. Just as he was about to leave, a low sound of a bugle horn sounded from the city.
When they heard the horn, the few soldiers in front of Qin Yun had a drastic change in expression. The commander shouted with a deep voice, "Enemy attack!"
Swish!" "A beam of light shot down from the sky, and a soldier appeared beside the commander. He hastily replied," Commander, it's bad! Violet Flame City is being attacked by the Silver Winged City's Silver Winged City. The commander commands us to go and rescue them!
Qin Yun was no stranger to the Silverwing Guard. The Silverwing Guard was the army commanded by the Silverwing General. It could even be said to be the strongest army in the entire Sky Bearing Empire.
"What!?" The Silver Winged Guard has actually moved! " The commander said in shock.
"Yes, that's why the Violet Flame City is in urgent need of rescue." The soldier replied anxiously.
"Pass my order!" The thousand soldiers of the Crimson Flame Army will stay in the city and the rest will follow me to save Violet Flame City! " The commander growled.
"Yes sir!" That soldier answered and then turned into a beam of light, rushing towards the Iron Spear City.
As for the commander, he led his subordinates and rushed to the north, leaving Qin Yun alone.
"There's no need to go back and forth this time. There's no one left to watch over him." Qin Yun smiled and with a flash, he entered Iron Spear City.
It was only after he entered the Iron Spear City that Qin Yun realized why it was so quiet. Most of the cultivators had already left, leaving almost an empty city behind.
There was an exception to everything, and there was still a very small number of people who had yet to leave.
Just as Qin Yun was walking down a wide and desolate street, an old man walked out of a building by the roadside.
When the old man saw Qin Yun, he immediately took a step forward and said, "Young man, why haven't you left yet? If the army of the Sky Bearing Empire were to arrive here, they might massacre the city. By then, it would be too late."
"Slaughter the city?" Qin Yun frowned. In the Great Thousand World, the strong preyed on the weak. He never expected that once the two countries broke into the city, they would be so ruthless. No wonder the people here had left.
When Qin Yun heard the elder's kind reminder, he said lightly, "Then, why didn't you leave?"
"My two sons have already died in battle, and my time is almost up. I don't want to leave, and I don't want to leave either. It's a pity that you are now so magnificent." The old man said indifferently.
Qin Yun sighed deeply in his heart. Regardless of which world it was, the greatest victims of war were all innocent civilians. Furthermore, Qin Yun had seen too many cold glares in the Great Thousand World. This kind reminder warmed his heart.
"Thank you for reminding me, Uncle." Qin Yun smiled and with a flash, he instantly disappeared from his original spot.
After Qin Yun disappeared, he left behind a Level 3 Divine Stone.
"This …" When the elder saw Qin Yun disappear, his eyes widened. He never expected Qin Yun to be so strong. Furthermore, with his Cultivation, there would be no problem for him to protect himself.
"Your things." The old man stared at a Level 3 Divine Stone on the ground and said to the air.
"That's your kindness. You should have it." Qin Yun's voice came from afar.
That old man was not even a semi-sage expert yet, and a third level divine stone was something that could not be reached by him.
His hands trembled as he picked up the Level Three Divine Stone. Right when he was about to put it away, a lazy voice came from his side, "Old man, is that your thing? You dare to pick it up? "
The old man looked towards the source of the voice and saw that a dozen red-armored soldiers had walked over. The one who had spoken was the leader of the group, who had a scoundrelly expression on his face.
