401 This Precipice Is Bought! (1/2)
”What do you think, this is Harmony River, whose reputation is well-known throughout the world. Although it has the word river in its name, its scale is magnificent, and its atmosphere is majestic, which matches me really well.”
By the river bank of Harmony River, a group of four people was talking as they walked.
Not long after repelling Golden City force, Wang Lu decided to abandon the Grey Mountain and formed an alliance with Harmony River. In this regard, the pair of master-follower of Harmony River was glad. Although in the competition for the five blood spirits crown, each side was in a competitive relationship, in view of how strong the Shengjing Sect side was, the alliance was imperative.
The spear-wielder walked at the front and his mouth never stopped moving along the way.
”In this region, the strongest one is Golden City, the second is Flaming Valley, while Harmony River and Eternal Tree are at the bottom. However, we have always had each other. This Harmony River flows from the void in the firmament, then it flows towards the eternal tree. Half of the river water then pours into the endless abyss, forming the famous great waterfall of harmony. The other half is absorbed by the eternal tree, which is its source of life. Because of this, the Eternal Tree forms a stable foundation with Harmony River.”
”In this way, our relationship is closely related like husband and wife. And by joining hands, even Golden City has to consider twice if it wants to deal with us, especially my conquering-everything-in-its-path spear. Even the master of Golden City himself didn't dare to clash head on with my spear. So far, the one who can resist my angry sea and mad wave is only you. Therefore, I'm very optimistic about you. If you and I join hands, in this competition, we will be able to walk unhindered.”
Apart from showing off his military force, an important issue was pointed out in this remark from the king of Harmony River. The relationship between Harmony River and Eternal Tree was far more intimate than what Lan previously said.
Of course, Wang Lu had to be certain, so he asked, ”Right now, the five spirits are striving for hegemony, so the situation is delicate. Are you sure that Eternal Tree won't have any second thoughts?”
Who knew, upon hearing this, the master of Harmony River burst out laughing. ”Second thoughts? My brother, you think too much. Anyone in this world can betray me, except for the Eternal Tree!”
Wang Lu smiled but refused to comment. In terms of military skills and bravery, this king of Harmony River was indeed superb. But as a leader, he had too many shortcomings. This kind of political relationship wisdom thing would've been better if Wang Lu didn't hear it in the first place.
While speaking, the group had arrived at the heart of Harmony River. They saw flourishing cities on both sides of the great river, and hundreds of barges flowing on it. Within the city walls, there were endless streams of horse and carriages. What caused people to click their tongue in amazement was that, in the middle of the Harmony River, there was also an imposing city. And the residents of that city were humanoid creatures with fish gills on their cheeks. Looking at their attire, their civilization was not in any way inferior to the civilization of the city by the river banks.
”This is the essence of my Harmony River. Although not as prosperous as Golden City, it is full of vigor and vitality, and it has a promising future. Now that you've abandoned Grey Mountain, you might as well set up your camp here, so that in close range, you can appreciate my elegant manner, and thus surrender to me as soon as possible.”
Wang Lu acted as if he heard nothing but just carefully looked at the scenery on both sides of the Harmony River. Although this was just one of the chains of the immortal dream land, the design of this place was exceptionally fine. Three cities divided into three places, but integrally connected with each other. Whether it was the layout of the city, or the residents of the city, all were not just crude decorations. They were living persons, living cities. It was hard for Wang Lu to imagine that these were just temporary cities to test the cultivators. Perhaps they were the same as Peach Garden Village, produced according to the historical context, making it fine and realistic, it was just that...
While pondering, he suddenly heard a burst of cheer. When Wang Lu took a closer look, it was the sound of the city people, who were lining on the street, cheering and waving.
”A Ye, it's A Ye!”
”A Ye, you can do it!”
”Come on!”
”You will definitely win the five blood spirit crown, all of us support you, A Ye!”
There were also some bold girls who passionately confessed, ”A Ye, we love you! You are the most handsome!”
Hearing these cheers, the king of Harmony River exultantly waved his arm that held the spear and loudly shouted, ”I love you too! I love your vision!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu was stunned. ”A Ye?”
”Hehe, it's my nickname.” The king of Harmony River who was nicknamed A Ye (Night) unashamedly nodded to acknowledge it. ”Although it's a bit strange to have a nickname when you're already a grown up, but given the fact that this name is also quite handsome, I just don't care about it.”
Wang Lu was actually curious about another question. ”You are the king of this Harmony River, but your relationship with your subjects is actually quite amiable.”
A Ye laughed. ”Can't help it. Although some people have advised me to maintain the dignity of a king, everyone here has already watched me grow up, so it's not really dignified in the first place. Moreover, I don't think that putting on a serious face and keeping aloof is handsome. It's more fun to be able to play with everyone.”
As soon as he finished saying that, A Ye's eyes lit up. In the city, there was an exceptionally pretty girl who looked at him and showed him a faint smile, which exuded the faint outpouring of teenage passion.
A Ye immediately let out a whistle. With his formidable cultivation base, this whistle was enough to wake up half of a small city. That girl was taken aback, and couldn't help but shyly turn away. At the same time, the other girls who were cheering at A Ye felt betrayed, and they immediately began to throw him eggs and tomatoes. A Ye laughed out loud but didn't care about it.
”Hah, it's good to be back home again.”
With that, A Ye stopped before an exquisite residence. ”We've arrived, come on in.”
Wang Lu looked in amazement at the small house, which, though exquisite, was not entirely worthy of a monarch, and asked, ”Is this your royal palace?”
