Chapter 3835: The Three War-Free Cities

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud noises rang from a huge canyon in the Flying Dragon Sect’s Plum Dragon Mountain Range. The spatial passage, which could accommodate only a few people at one time, leading to the Imperial War Realm had finally been stabilized at this moment.

An open gate hovered in the air above the canyon. It was dark inside so no one could see the destination.

There were many new buildings in the canyon, and many people could be seen taking turns guarding the entrance to the Imperial War Realm. Even the lowest ranking person was an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect. There were many White Elders Dragon as well, and there would be at least one Black Dragon Elder supervising each shift.

Swoosh!

A tall and muscular figure flew up into the sky at this moment. It belonged to a middle-aged man. He was about two meters tall, but from afar, he looked to be only 1.7 meters tall. Not only was he tall, but his body was very wide as well; it was twice as wide as that of a woman. His expression was stern, and he had the bearing of someone who was used to sitting in a high position. He was none other than the current Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, Long Qing Chong.

Long Qing Chong was also the last disciple of the former Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. He was an orphan whom the former sect leader adopted. He had wanted to take the former sect leader’s surname in the past, but the former sect leader had given him the surname Long, which meant dragon.

Although Long Qing Chong joined the Flying Dragon Sect later, and his talent was only average, due to his hard work, he rose to his position today. He might not be as strong as his master, the former sect leader, but he was only slightly weaker than his master. There were even rumors that his strength was on par with the Golden Dragon Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect.

Long Qing Chong suddenly grew as tall as a giant before he clapped his hands, causing the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate to shake. He said loudly, “The Imperial War will begin in three days. All members at the stage or above the stage of Kings of Gods, prepare yourselves and abide by the rules of the sect. Since you’re fighting for the sect, the sect will naturally take good care of you. However, if you drag the sect down, don’t blame the sect for not showing mercy.”

Long Qing Chong’s words that were filled with threats caused many people’s expressions to change.

“The Imperial War is finally about to begin…”

“We’ve waited for a long time…”

“Three days? I should stop cultivating and start exchanging my contribution points for some healing divine pills. There’s no point saving my contributions during such a time. Who knows if I might die during the war? It’s better to exchange my points for something that can save my life during the critical moment.”

“Finally! Since I can’t avoid it, I’ll fight with all my strength. I should find more people to join forces with over the next three days…”

With Long Qing Chong’s announcement, a commotion broke out in the Flying Dragon Sect. The quiet estate became extremely lively in just a moment.

Long Qing Chong’s voice had also swept through the inner disciples’ cultivation ground, easily breaking the Formations of those who were in closed-door cultivation.

The Flying Dragon Sect also dispatched people out to remind members who were not in the Flying Dragon Sect and ask them to return to the sect.

For the elders and disciples who were in charge of running the Flying Dragon Sect’s various businesses, the sect’s requirements for them were rather low even though they still had to participate in the Imperial War.

For example, the minimum requirements for rudimentary Kings of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect were to kill at least one rudimentary King of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect every three months and seize their life tokens as proof.

As for those who spent most of their time managing businesses for the Flying Dragon Sect, they were only required to kill a member of the Tai Yi Sect with a similar cultivation base every six months.

There were corresponding punishments for those who failed to meet the minimum requirements. For example, if a rudimentary King of Gods failed to kill a counterpart from the Tai Yi Sect within three months, he or she would be forcefully sent into the King Battlefield in the Imperial War Realm. Moreover, at that time, they would have to kill two of their counterparts in the Tai Yi Sect within three months for six months before they could leave the King Battlefield.

As for intermediate Kings of Gods, they did not necessarily have to kill an intermediate King of Gods within three months. They could also substitute killing an intermediate King of Gods with killing five rudimentary Kings of Gods.

Similarly, if advanced Kings of Gods chose not to kill an advanced King of Gods, they could choose between killing five intermediate Kings of Gods or twenty rudimentary King of Gods.

The higher one’s cultivation base was, the higher the requirements would be.

This was an absolute rule during the Imperial War.

…

“We won’t be given war points when we meet the minimum requirements. Only if we surpass the minimum requirements will we be awarded war points. At that time, we can go to Peace City, where the high-ranking officials from various top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion are staying, to exchange for cultivation resources and treasures from our sect and the Tai Yi Sect. Disciples of Flying Dragon Sect can also exchange war points for contribution points. After all, war points are useless once the Imperial War ends.”

At this time, Ding Yan, Hou Qing Ning, and Murong Yin Yue were sitting at the table in Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard.

Duan Ling Tian had activated a Formation that prevented others from seeing them, but at the same time, allowed them to look at the others outside the courtyard. One could easily bypass the Formation with their Divine Consciousnesses, but no one would do such a thing under normal circumstances since it would be considered a blatant provocation.

“That’s right. However, there’s no need to exchange for contribution points until the war is about to end. After all, although there are many things you can obtain with both war points and contribution points, there are also many things that you can only obtain with war points, not contribution points. Since the top emperor-rank forces from the Eastern Ridge Mansion will be overseeing the Imperial War, the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect won’t be able to hide any treasures. This means that the things we can exchange for in Peace City are all valuable and rare,” Hou Qing Ning said. Clearly, he had done a lot of research on this matter.

“What are your plans after entering the Imperial War Realm? Would all of you like to join me?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, “After all, we won’t be able to use Voice Transmission in the Imperial War Realm unless we’re in one of the three war-free cities.”

The three war-free cities were the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect’s respective bases and Peace City.

The Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect’s bases were called Flying Dragon City and Tai Yi City respectively. Needless to say, it was impossible for members to enter the opposing force’s bases.

On the contrary, members from both the Flying Dragon Sect and Tai Yi Sect could enter Peace City, which was controlled by the various top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, including the Pure Yang Sect. Needless to say, they were not allowed to fight in Peace City, even advanced Lords of Gods were no exception. Those who broke the rules would be killed by those who guarded Peace City.

In Peace City, there would be more than one Emperor of Gods guarding the place. The various top emperor-rank forces would also send many Lords of Gods to maintain order in Peace City.

In the Imperial Realm, there were three exits located in Peace City, Flying Dragon City, and Tai Yi City respectively.

Hou Qing Ning shook his head and said, “I won’t go with you. I’m considered a new disciple so there’d be an outer deacon accompanying me. I won’t be able to help you if I follow you anyway. On the contrary, I might even drag you down…”

Hou Qing Ning was well aware that he would only slow Duan Ling Tian down if he followed Duan Ling Tian. He knew the Imperial War was not only a chance for him to improve his strength, but it was also a chance for Duan Ling Tian to improve his strength. As a friend, he naturally did not want to become a burden to Duan Ling Tian.

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. When he saw Hou Qing Ning’s determined gaze, he naturally understood Hou Qing Ning’s thoughts. Hence, he did not insist. He said, “New disciples who are rudimentary Kings of Gods will indeed be accompanied by an outer deacon who’s an advanced King of Gods. With that, you should be relatively safe…”

As for Murong Yin Yue, she would naturally follow Hou Qing Ning. Although they were not officially together, they were much closer now.

“What about you, Ding Yan?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

Ding Yan smiled as he replied, “I don’t plan to go with an outer deacon. I’ve formed a small group. We plan to attack the Kings of Gods from Tai Yi City in the King Battlefield. I’m much weaker than you so I’ll only be a burden to you if I follow you.”

When Ding Yan saw the slight frown on Duan Ling Tian’s face, he said solemnly, “Duan Ling Tian, I know you don’t care if we’re a burden or not. However, you have to understand that as your friends, we want the best for you as well. We’ll only be a burden to you if we follow you. I’m sure you also want the best of us. If we follow you, we won’t be able to improve at all.”
