Chapter 880: Chapter 707: Chaotic Street, Polarization_2

People from the former dynasty also existed for the sake of the country and the people, but due to the circumstances of those years, and the mindset of serving different masters, even if they harbored some special ideas, they could not realize them at that time. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow the emperor of the former dynasty into battle with the Daqian Kingdom.

Many were unwilling and reluctant, but the tides of the era acted as a force, pushing them harshly from behind, leaving them helplessly with no choice but to forge ahead.

Qin An pondered for a moment: "You’ve finished speaking, take me around the city then, I want to know if every corner of this city, as you’ve said, has truly been rid of resentment."

Qin An didn’t care about the thoughts of the former dynasty. To him, the most important thing now was to establish a supreme foundation here.

Strolling around the city might reveal some clues.

After all, Wang Liu is a Pseudo-God born and raised here, and he understands this place far better than Qin An.

Wang Liu finished the tea in his cup, then stood up and said, "In that case, let’s go out. I also have a few other questions to ask."

Qin An understood some trends of the Daqian Kingdom. Though pleased, his doubts only grew.

Since Qin An was here, the two were engaged in another transaction, and naturally, it needed to continue.

The two said no more. After leaving the teahouse, they began strolling through the city.

Wang Liu acted like a tour guide, introducing Qin An to each place they arrived at, including how the place was established and its purpose, speaking without reservation.

Qin An listened patiently, gaining a deeper understanding of the city.

He discovered that this city was indeed like a human city, possessing all the functions of a city, and even more bustling than some cities in the Daqian Kingdom.

However, the only difference was that everyone here was a Pseudo-God.

If an ordinary Cultivator accidentally wandered here and saw these things, they might be scared half to death.

As Qin An wandered, the Pseudo-Gods seemed quite curious about him as well, their gazes carrying a hint of exploration.

But upon seeing Wang Liu beside Qin An, they refrained from approaching, as if they wanted to maintain some distance.

Qin An did not know the reason for this, but he could sense a bit of strangeness.

This Pseudo-God Wang Liu seemed to hold quite a bit of status in this city, making the other Pseudo-Gods somewhat wary.

Qin An didn’t think much of it, and in only half a day, he had nearly wandered through the entire city.

He had achieved a very basic understanding of the city.

Wang Liu stopped, turned, and said, "We’ve been to all the places we should see. The remaining ones are places I cannot enter, so I won’t take you there."

Qin An also stopped, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What are those places?"

Wang Liu had taken him everywhere else unhindered, and since the Pseudo-Gods seemed somewhat wary of Wang Liu’s identity, they hadn’t come to disturb him.

Qin An guessed that Wang Liu’s identity was not simple.

But since Wang Liu now spoke of places he couldn’t take him, Qin An was curious about what those places were.

Wang Liu thought for a moment and then said, "Those would be the City Lord’s Mansion and the Chaotic Street, places beyond my access."

Qin An rubbed his chin and asked again, "What’s special about those places?"

Wang Liu’s previous words had piqued his curiosity.

Now that it had come to this, Qin An wanted to ask thoroughly.

Wang Liu’s eyes showed a hint of a bitter smile, then he pointed to the highest building in the city: "First, the City Lord’s Mansion, a place where only core members of this city can enter, if someone lingers outside too long, they might be caught and punished as per the rules."

"I indeed am an official of no significant rank in this city, but I am not qualified to approach there."

Upon hearing this, Qin An appeared enlightened.

It was just as difficult as an ordinary person trying to circle around the Imperial Palace, indeed extremely challenging.

"And what about the Chaotic Street?"

Wang Liu thought again and continued, "You must know, Sir, that where there’s good, there must be bad. Where there’s kindness, there’s also evil. Most of us Pseudo-Gods have had our hearts washed of resentment by the aura of the Dragon Vein. We understand that the previous war was merely a battle between people with differing ideologies."

"However, there are some who remain staunch supporters of the former tyrant, unable to recognize or repent for their wrongdoings. They’re willing to harm others, not constrained by worldly rules, forced to fight the Daqian Kingdom."

"These individuals are confined to that most chaotic street, each possessing exceedingly advanced capabilities from the previous dynasty. Should you wander there, they might attack you immediately."

When speaking of this place, Wang Liu’s eyes showed a hint of dread, as if he were extremely fearful of the so-called Chaotic Street.

Qin An rubbed his chin and asked, "They’re strong, aren’t they?"

Wang Liu’s undisguised hint of dread in his eyes during their conversation was noticeable.

Qin An didn’t need to think much to understand that the opposing forces might be extremely powerful, otherwise, Wang Liu wouldn’t show such an expression.

Wang Liu sighed deeply, his bitter smile revealed, "Strong! They’re not just strong, they’re inhumane. Their spirits weren’t suppressed by the Dragon Vein; instead, they’ve reached extreme levels, unable to see anything clearly, harboring endless hostility toward the Daqian Kingdom."

"Only because there are many of us here do they not dare to stir up too many troubles."

Hearing this, Qin An frowned even deeper, asking again, "With that being said, why not eliminate them directly? That way, you wouldn’t need to fear them so much."

If concerned about them causing trouble, then directly taking them out would be enough, without needing complex maneuvers.

Once they’re eradicated, everything would return to normal. People like Wang Liu wouldn’t need to be so afraid either.

Furthermore, it would eliminate a potential threat.

This was beneficial to everyone involved, so why weren’t they willing to address it?

Qin An felt there must be an enormous secret behind this, otherwise, those so-called Pseudo-Gods from Chaotic Street would have been wiped out by now.

Wang Liu slightly shook his head, his eyes showing a look of confusion: "In truth, we’re not very sure either, and other Pseudo-Gods aren’t very sure as well."

"Our city’s lord has a monumental identity, none other than the Prime Minister of the former dynasty. In office, his capabilities were extraordinary, well-acquainted with literature, with an exceptional grasp of larger situations."

"He once advised the emperor of the former dynasty to change his brutal ways, but the emperor did not listen."

"When the Daqian Kingdom and the former dynasty went to war, he didn’t kill a single person from the Daqian Kingdom but instead took a long sword and committed suicide in front of the Daqian Kingdom’s Imperial Palace to demonstrate his integrity."

"After transforming into a Pseudo-God, he has overseen this city. Even the appearance of the Chaotic Street, only the Prime Minister knows why, and only he understands why no action is taken. We trust him, hence have no objections."

Qin An listened slowly, his eyes full of surprise.

He didn’t expect the City Lord here to have such a remarkable identity.

However, these details were not the crucial part; he could not shake the feeling that Chaotic Street harbored an enormous secret.

To go or not to go?

After contemplating for a while, Qin An decided to give it a try.

Since he was already here, and with those being the only two places he hadn’t visited, he intended to check the situation first.

If danger arose, he could quickly retreat.

Just as he was thinking that, footsteps suddenly echoed from outside.
