Chapter 799: Free Valley (1)
In the distant eastern reaches of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, hundreds of kilometers away and beyond a major river—a remote valley sat among a secluded mountain range.
The valley was set far away from the noise and bl.u.s.ter of the outside world. It was a place where none of the nations could maintain control over and was also the most dangerous area where all the armies were reluctant to step foot upon.
Free Valley.
Legend had it that anyone who entered that ma.s.sive valley could leave behind the troubles of the outside world. It had also become the leading destination for the most wanted criminals across the various nations.
All those who had been forced to the point of no return would try their best to escape into the Free Valley. As a result, the valley had become a refuge for a bunch of the most dreadful criminals in the world.
It was also rumored that the Free Valley used to be the homestead of an ancient tribe. That mysterious tribe had disappeared without a trace and left several structures still standing within the valley.
Now, the Free Valley had been carved into three distinct cities, each governed by the three most powerful forces. Anyone who wished to seek refuge in Free Valley had to submit to those forces.
The Free Valley held the most numerous villains but was also the place most coveted by bounty hunters.
Whoever entered the valley and captured one or two criminals—would be rewarded with a hefty bounty enough to last him a lifetime.
Unfortunately…
None of the bounty hunters dared to place even a single foot into the Free Valley. Even a fully armed military troop would have to think twice before stepping into the valley.
Although the ancient tribe had already vanished, the trigrams which they had carved remained. The trigrams had been exposed to the elements over thousands of years and no longer looked as glorious as they formerly were. Nevertheless, they retained significant power enough to finish an entire army troop.
