Chapter 73 Into Blackwater (1/2)

Blackwater, a land fraught with danger.

But at the same time, a place that was overflowing with opportunity.

In the far past, numerous powerful factions existed within Blackwater. Every one of these factions was stronger than the empires currently bordering Blackwater. Due to some unknown reason, the factions within Blackwater disappeared one after another, allowing more and more Genesis Beasts to flood Blackwater, transforming it into the Genesis Beast heaven it is today.

However, although these ancient factions had disappeared, some things would ultimately be left behind, things that made countless Genesis Masters madly scramble towards them.

In Blackwater, luck would occasionally favor certain fortunate souls, allowing them to ascend to the skies in a single step and let their names echo loudly across the land.

Over time, more and more Genesis Masters swarmed towards this place, risking all sorts of dangers as they searched for opportunities in hopes of becoming the next individual to earn luck's blessings.

But the ones who are graced by luck are ultimately few in number, and majority end up as part of the piles of bones buried under this b.l.o.o.d.y and chaotic land.

…

Blackwater was a place of chaos and killing, a place where the strong preyed on the weak.

However, Zhou Yuan's group was obviously not weak prey. Thus, although they drew countless eyes wherever they went in Blackwater, no one dared to make any moves against them.

Many factions of various sizes existed within Blackwater, each king of their own territories. The pa.s.sing of Zhou Yuan, Wei Canglan and the rest of the group would cause these factions to be on high alert.

After all, anyone who spent most of their time in Blackwater knew that there were two factions that could not be offended. One was the infamous Black Venom King, and the other was great general Wei Canglan of Canglan County.

Zhou Yuan's group may be few in number, but all of them were elites. Moreover, there was an Alpha-Origin expert with them, Wei Canglan. This line-up was enough to easily sweep away any faction with the exception of Black Venom City.

Hence, upon seeing Zhou Yuan's group, the Blackwater factions would fall into a state of panic, afraid that this terrifying party would pounce on them in the next moment.

However, Zhou Yuan and the rest obviously paid no attention to these factions. As long as they did not obstruct the former, Zhou Yuan and gang would quickly pa.s.s through.

This situation continued for several days as Zhou Yuan and the rest gradually approached their destination…

Devil Prison City, the city closest to the ruins. The city lord was an advance Heaven Gate stage expert and was rather famous in Blackwater. He was after all capable enough to govern a city here.

Although Devil Prison City was normally a rather bustling place, ever since news of the ruins had spread, the city had immediately become a lodging point for the numerous factions that had come in search of treasures. Thus causing the population of the city to rise dramatically.

Countless people journeyed to the ruins every day, though none dared to venture too deep. After all, there were all kinds of bizarre battle puppets inside, which would potentially become a th.o.r.n.y problem if one caught their attention. Yet, there were also some fortunate fellows who stumbled into certain places and brought out several strange 'toys'. Such items were very popular and sold for handsome sums of Genesis crystals, allowing these lucky fellows to earn a small fortune…

None of the city guards dared to stop Zhou Yuan, Wei Canglan and the rest when they entered Devil Prison City, allowing the latters to do as they pleased.

In Devil Prison City, Zhou Yuan and gang booked an entire inn, settling everyone's accommodations.

After helping everyone settle down, Wei Canglan found Zhou Yuan and suggested, ”Your highness, this is the closest city to the Battle Puppet Sect ruins and quite a number of people have already made their way to the ruins from here. We should be able to obtain information regarding the ruins here so I suggest that we take a look.”

Zhou Yuan was pretty much fine with anything. Their non-stop travels over the past few days had been exceptionally dull. Did no one else see the looks of interest on Su Youwei's, Wei Qingqing's and even Yaoyao's faces when they heard Wei Canglan make his proposal?

Therefore, after tidying up a little, the group left the inn along with a few bodyguards.

Devil Prison City was not as grand as Great Zhou City or Canglan County, the former gave off a rather simplistic feeling and was filled with disorder.

Two waves of men would clash from time to time on the streets, every strike from each individual fatal in nature. This resulted in still warm bodies being thrown out occasionally, causing the entire city to be blanketed in an aura of cruelness.

Zhou Yuan and his group drew several gazes as they walked in the city. Of course, the majority of these gazes were aimed at Yaoyao, Su Youwei and the long-legged Wei Qingqing.

Beauties of such calibre were clearly very rare in such a place.

However, those that could survive till now in Blackwater were at least somewhat discerning. Hence, no one dared to come forward although the gazes filled with various intentions continued to size-up the three girls.
