Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty Eight – The Immortal Great Peace (2/2)
Arriving at Great Peace City, the tall soaring walls cast a shadow that covered them like a black cloud. They caused people to feel their own significance. Zuo Mo raised his head. He was uncertain just how tall the walls were.
The porpoise carried Zuo Mo to a group of stone stairs. The stairs moved up towards the gates.
Zuo Mo piggy-backed A Gui and jumped up the stone stairs. The black porpoise chirped happily before diving back down into the Unsullied Sea. The group followed Zuo Mo closely and occasionally sighed, Tang Fei included. It was her first time at Great Peace City.
Stepping up past the stone stairs, the area spread out flat in front of them. A space that was thousands of zhang in radius was flat as though it was cut from one piece of stone. It was extremely smooth and all kinds of complex and beautiful mo matrixes that were carved into the ground were like a grand carpet that spread into the distance. Such vast grandeur astounded everyone. Even Zuo Mo was speechless. Looking at such exquisitely carved mo matrixes, everyone almost didn’t bear to step on them.
So grand! Extremely grand!
Sighing as they walked past the city gates, it was as though they walked into a completely different world. A wave of loud noise came at them.
Everyone’s heart relaxed. The vast acquisitiveness at the gates almost suffocated them and the familiar scenes in front of them jerked them back to their original world. Their minds relaxed.
The streets were very wide, hundreds of zhang wide and could hold large-scale mo steeds. It was possible to see mo riding mo steeds of all kinds of strange appearances. The mo themselves were also had different appearances. Some had horns, others four legs, some had wings. It dazzled Zuo Mo’s eyes and stirred his curiosity.
But Zuo Mo quickly felt scared. In this short amount of time, he had found at least six brigadier mo. Great Peace City was, as said, filled with experts!
Brigadier ranks were the core power of a battalion. Their skill level was directly related to the strength of the battalion. In those more remote jie, brigadiers were even able to rule a small region. Naturally, brigadier level was not something that Zuo Mo would sigh in wonder about, but he had found six brigadiers on the street. Then how great and terrifying was the number of brigadier mo here in the city?
Up until now, he had not noticed even one general rank. But this was enough to raise his wariness.
Tao Xing seemed to noticed Zuo Mo’s shock and said in low voice, “Do not be rash. The structure of powers in Great Peace City is very complex. Any mo here could have a great faction behind it. If you offend too many factions, you might not even know how you died. Even though Great Peace City does not permit assassinations, how is it possible to stop something that occurs in the shadows? Do not be rash!”
Tao Xing had lived in Great Peace City for a time when he was young and was familiar with everything. This time, he felt danger when he had been attacked by the green yaksha on the road. Now that he entered Great Peace City, he felt much safer. There were many experts in Great Peace City and also many factions that would be willing to give him face.
The only thing he worried about was Zuo Mo. He had spent a long time in Great Peace City and seen countless youth that had been left bloodied by Great Peace City. These young geniuses were filled with pride and did not know how deep the waters in Great Peace City flowed.
Right now, he was stuck together with Zuo Mo. If Zuo Mo provoked trouble, he would not be able to avoid it. He also owed Zuo Mo a lot of mo embryos.
Thinking about these mo embryos, he wanted to go back to Endless City immediately and pay back his debts as early as possible.
At this moment, a ruckus sounded.
An enormous troop walked proudly at the center of the road. They were all blue dragon rhinoceros that were three zhang in height. Their bodies were covered in thick, shield-like scales. Their steps were extremely heavy and with every step, the ground trembled.
The entire troop rumbled and caused the ground to shake.
A bald large man sat on top of the blue dragon rhinoceros at the very front. He was extremely well-built and his skin was a strange faint blue that contained black patterns. His face was in a snarl, the small eyes flashing viciously. Sitting on top of the blue dragon rhinoceros, his body sway with the steps of the blue dragon rhinoceros.
Noticing Zuo Mo’s gaze, Tao Xing glanced and quickly recognized the other. “It should be the Lan Family from Luo Jie. They are one of the branches of the dragon mo and natural born fighters. The most outstanding of the younger generation is Lan Tian Long and Liang Rong. This one should be Lan Tian Long … …”
Zuo Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was very familiar with Lan Tian Long’s presence. General level! This was the first general level he encountered in Great Peace City!
This place was filled with experts. Zuo Mo’s heart shuddered. The other did not disguise his presence at all. A vicious and domineering presence spread out without any restraint.
Just that presence was enough for Zuo Mo to judge the other’s power was not weaker than his.
Zuo Mo’s gaze swept past Lan Tian Long and he looked further away. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and his body froze.
He didn’t hear one word of what Tao Xing said next.
Zuo Mo stared hard at the back of a blue dragon rhinoceros, his body as tense as steel!
