It happened on the third day after Feng Zhi and the others left the Feng Tian City.
Because they were not in a hurry to travel, Feng Zhi and her group spent three days to arrive at the next city, Qingyang City, on the route to Clear Sky City. Qingyang City was only three hundred kilometers away from the Feng Tian City.
Qingyang City's scale was much smaller than Feng Tian City, and there weren't any clans with outstanding strength overseeing it. There was only a Zhao Family that could only be considered a third-rate family.
Although the strength of the Zhao Family wasn't that great, they were still the top fighters in this tiny Azure Sun City.
Looking at the city gates of Qingyang City from afar, Feng Jiao couldn't help but stretch her back and say, "We have finally arrived at Qingyang City. If we continue to eat like this, I suspect that we are about to become savages."
In these three days, because they didn't arrive at the city and didn't want to go to their homes on the road, they set up tents in the wild. It was all thanks to the things the Qiao family had prepared for camping in the Hundred Treasure Bag.
It was not that the disciples of the Feng Family could not endure hardships, nor was it that they could not endure the environment in the wilderness. If this was a test, they would definitely not utter any words of complaint, but the main purpose of their trip was to play, so of course they would be more willing to enjoy themselves.
Feng Jiao was not the only one who nodded.
In the beginning, camping in the wild was a bit novel, but even with a tent, how could the cold and hard ground compare to a soft and warm bed?
When they arrived at the gates of Qingcheng, the nine of them did not enter the city very quickly. This was because there were already two long queues at the gates, and the guards of Qingyang City were charging the people who entered the city.
This was the first time they had come to Qingyang City, so they had no idea that they had to charge a toll to enter the city.
One had to know that even though there were many more people coming and going of Feng Tian City compared to Qingyang City, the number of people paying fees to pass by was never known either.
Feng Zhi noticed that the warriors in front of and behind them all looked angry, but in the end, no one dared to resist.
It was obvious that the Zhao Family, which controlled Qingyang City, was not popular among these warriors.
As such, Feng Zhi squinted her eyes and shot a look at Feng Ming.
Feng Ming received Feng Zhi's instructions and patted the shoulder of a warrior that was around 30 years old who was standing in front of him. When that person turned his head, he smiled at him and asked: "This big brother is here to ask you for some information?"
Feng Ming was only thirteen years old this year. Although his appearance was not bad, he still had a little face after all. With this kind of smile, he looked just like the young man next door.
That person had first sized up Feng Zhi's group with some vigilance. Most likely, it was because they were all youths, and the smile on Feng Ming's face was especially harmless. Only then did she relax and ask: "What do you want to ask?"
Seeing that he had finished with this person, Feng Ming was overjoyed. He first raised his eyebrows complacently at Feng Zhi, then said: "This big brother, this is the first time we have come to Qingyang City. Why do we have to collect fees after entering the city? I heard that even Feng Family have not received such a passage fee. "
Hearing Feng Ming ask such a question, the person confirmed that this was truly their first time in Qingyang City. After hearing the words "Feng Tian City" later on, his face still carried a look of longing, and after a while, he regretfully retracted his longing and said: "This is your first time in Qingyang City, no wonder you don't know …"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he said in a low voice, "Our Qingyang City, a few years ago, the Zhao Family annexed the old Qian Family and became the new master of Qingyang City. The warriors around here are having a hard time, not only do they have to pay a silver coin to enter the city, but they also have to pay twenty percent to the Zhao Family.
Feng Zhi and the rest were all a little speechless.
Now that he said it like this, the Zhao Family really ate people without spitting out their bones.
Even if they were weak, it would be enough to buy some low level beasts and exchange them for money to support their families. But to earn this money for a martial artist, there was always danger, but to trade in Azure Sun City, the Zhao Family had to take away 20% of the money. This money was simply too easy to earn.
It had been a long time since this unknown warrior had talked about this with anyone, and he could not stop himself from saying it. He continued to speak with a face of hatred, "Now, even the warriors with some strength from Qingyang City have gone to the Feng Tian City, which not only has one of the ten great clans' Feng Family overseeing it, but it also does not have this many types of exploitation. Furthermore, with the aid of the dense fog, compared to the Azure Sun City, who knows how great the prospects are!"
Hearing this, Feng Ming became a little curious, "Since that's the case, why don't you go to the Feng Tian City, Big Brother?"
It was not only Feng Ming, the others perked up their ears to hear the warrior's answer.
It had to be said that as disciples of Feng Family, when the bystanders heard the affirmation of Feng Family, a bit of pride actually surged out of their hearts.
On the other hand, when the warrior heard Feng Ming's question, his face darkened, "If possible, I also want to go to Feng Tian City, but I do not have enough strength. Furthermore, my family members are all in Qingyang City, so going to Feng Tian City is easier said than done."
In fact, those who were still in Qingyang City were mostly in a similar situation as this warrior.
Feng Zhi looked at the warrior from head to toe.
Amongst Feng Zhi's group, he was only slightly above the thirteen year old Feng Ming in terms of strength, but even Feng Ming had recently reached the breaking point and was about to step into the Martial General Realm at any time.
This meant that the strength of the martial artist in front of him was too low.
It was no wonder that he did not have the guts to leave Qingyang City and go to the Feng Tian City to seek a living.
When it came to talking about Feng Tian City, this warrior was slightly agitated and his voice unconsciously became louder. When one of the warriors in front of them turned around, that person also nodded with a sigh, "Who says it isn't, which one of the people in Qingyang City doesn't want to go to Feng Tian City? However … "Sigh!"
Aside from Feng Zhi and Long Yan, the other people also seemed to understand a little more.
The Feng Tian City belonged to one of the top ten families, as well as the head office of the Scarlet Phoenix Auction House. Relying on the dense fog, there were a lot of martial practitioners who wanted to find gold, and it was precisely because of this that the various expenses of Feng Tian City were not low.
