Chapter 559 Moongazer City
Chapter 559 Moongazer City
One of the most important factors for a sect, especially an ambitious sect, to survive in the world was self-discipline.
Take the Heavenly Profound Sect as an example. When the ancestors of the Heavenly Profound Sect founded the Heavenly Profound Sect, they secretly set up a "Judgment Hall".
The only function of the Hall of Judgment was that when the Xuanzong Sect was accused by the corrupt elders, these mysterious members of the Hall of Judgment would interfere in the sect's internal affairs by powerful means, and they could directly execute those in power without the orders of the Sect Master.
Therefore, the qualifications of the members of the Hall of Justice were extremely strict. To enter the Hall of Justice, a martial artist had to undergo as many as eighteen rigorous trials.
To enter the Hall of Judgment, only powerful talent was far from enough. At the same time, one had to possess an unparalleled fighting consciousness, an understanding of martial arts, an in-depth understanding of martial techniques, and an innate fighting instinct.
Even if you possess the terrifying Three Heavenly Spiritual Meridians, you may not be able to enter. Perhaps you were eliminated, but instead, a person with only one Heavenly Grade Meridian entered.
Because of your talent, it doesn't mean that you have a good fighting consciousness. In real life, ordinary people often have small men defeating strong men. That's called fighting, and the martial arts world also has such examples.
The most mysterious thing was that the members of the Hall of Judgment had to be personally selected by the current Sect Master and not be appointed by any elders.
In other words, even within the The Profound Sky Sect , the vast majority of people did not know that there was such a mysterious organization.
However, reality was always full of drama. The power of the Judicial Hall had led them to walk a crooked path instead.
This group of top battle maniacs had rebelled. They quietly left the The Profound Sky Sect and formed their own faction.
In fact, not only did the Heavenly Profound Sect have such a mysterious organization, there were also other sects, including the Haoran Sect at the early stage of its establishment.
These top sects, the most mysterious and top experts had collectively defected, causing a huge uproar in the martial world back then, and these people had joined forces to form an organization called Night Demon.
Thousands of years had passed, and the Night Demons had no relationship with the eight great sects. However, they still existed in a mysterious way and continued to absorb the most elite martial artists by unknown means.
Back then, the Night Demon had taken a fancy to Bai Muchen and used all sorts of coercive and tempting methods to absorb him. In the end, his plan failed.
Xiang Nan held the wine cup and looked upstairs at the three leaving figures. He muttered to himself, "After so many years, the strength of the Night Demon's members still hasn't decreased. They only choose the experts among the experts and the elites among the elites."
Even though he had won the championship in the twelve joint examinations, Night Demons had not taken notice of him. It could be seen how stringent their requirements were in selecting their members.
It was almost time for Xiang Nan to leave the restaurant and embark on the cargo flying ship again, heading towards the next destination, Moongazer City.
Coincidentally, when Xiang Nan put on the cargo, he met the three Shadow Hunters.
These people had no bottom line, no principles, and no purpose. What they did was entirely based on their personal preferences. Sometimes, they continuously assassinated more than a hundred disciples of a first-rate sect just because it was interesting.
Xiang Nan did not intend to have any interactions with these people, nor was he interested in creating friction with them.
Under the speed of the cargo flying ship, it took less than a day to arrive at the destination.
Within the boundless sea of clouds, a grand old capital of the Western Regions appeared in front of him.
The flying ship slowly docked at the edge of Moongazer City and began to unload its cargo. Xiang Nan and the three Shadow Hunters also got off the ship one after another.
Xiang Nan waited for the three of them to enter the city before he took out the map and looked at it carefully. The situation was not optimistic.
Back then, when Moongazer City was the capital of the Western Regions, it was still on the ground. After the capital was moved, it expanded several times, and was later pushed into the sky by many experts from the dark forces.
Today's Moongazer City was no longer the same concept as before, and its total area had more than tripled.
The most troublesome thing was that Moongazer City was floating in the sky, slowly spinning.
In other words, the city marked on the map in Xiang Nan's hand could not be determined.
The Spirit Sealing Formation on the map was located outside the east gate of Moongazer City. After expansion, it should have already become Central.
The city was expanded many times, and it was divided into three rings. The first ring was the original old city, and the second ring and the third ring were added later.
Xiang Nan nodded. In his heart, he drew out four target points for the Central Region. These four target points all had the potential to be the former east of the city.
After confirming the general direction in his heart, he stepped into the city.
Just as they entered the grand Moongazer City, a wave of clamorous voices rushed towards them.
As soon as they entered the city gate, the first thing they saw was the huge slave market.
There were over a hundred booths in the slave market. On each booth, there were young human men and women, demon men and women, and even martial artists with decent strength.
Amidst the noisy crowd, people continuously walked onto the exhibition stand and opened the mouths of the slaves like they were examining livestock, or stripped the slaves naked on the spot, carefully examining them.
Moongazer City was filled with shady underground transactions, and it could buy almost anything that the outside world could not buy.
This included the stolen storage rings, the treasures of various powerful sects, and even the enemies of certain powers.
For example, if Xiang Nan was captured by the dark forces, one possibility was that he would be sent directly to the The Profound Sky Sect , and the other was that he would be escorted to Moongazer City for auction.
Xiang Nan walked along the outer edge of the slave market, looking at the slaves on the stand.
The so-called slaves had expressionless faces and ashes in their eyes. It seemed that they had long since accepted their fate and gave up resisting.
There were strong men in charge of auctioning slaves in public. They held whips and kept beating the slaves. The slaves who were beaten were not because they were disobedient, but because someone wanted to hear their screams. Were they miserable enough to cause the warped bloodthirst in the buyers' hearts?
Xiang Nan couldn't bear to stay in this kind of place any longer, so he prepared to directly go around and head towards the Central District.
But at this moment, a strong man's loud shout attracted Xiang Nan's attention.
"Come over here! This is a lion demon man. Especially since he was raised by humans, he is very proficient in human civilization."
"This kind of slave is not common. Everyone, make your move as soon as possible to prevent others from taking advantage of it."
Lion Demon Man?
Xiang Nan suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the voice.
Upon seeing this, the veins on Xiang Nan's forehead suddenly bulged.
On that exhibition stand, a man was tied up. He knelt on the ground with his head lowered. His entire body was covered in whips. There were many cracks on his skin. Blood had already stuck to his clothes, and he couldn't tear them apart.
And this person was actually Xiang Nan's demon friend, Chen Hengjun!
