2006

Two black SUVs parked in front of the hotel.

Xu Taiping pulled Michael to one of the cars, and Duanmu Huazhe followed closely behind.

The eldest cousin stood beside the car, hesitating.

"It's better if you don't go. There's nothing for you to do anyway." Xu Taiping sat in the car and said.

"I don't want to go, but …" I want to go and open up a market. " The eldest cousin said.

"Where are we going to open a market? Do you think you can sell them your arms? " Xu Taiping asked.

"Regardless of whether it is possible or not, you should at least give it a try. Like you said, it should be easy to do in the military business." The eldest cousin said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Get in the car!" Xu Taiping said.

"I would like to, but... "But my feet don't listen to me …" The eldest cousin pointed to his trembling feet and said.

"Then are you going or not?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I want to go, but my body doesn't allow me to. That place is a haunted place, and there are many vicious people there. I'm afraid …" The eldest cousin said, feeling conflicted.

At that moment, a hand reached out from the car, grabbed his elder cousin and dragged him into the car.

With a bang, the car door closed, and then the car drove forward.

"Talking too much." Duanmu Huazhe loosened his grip on his older cousin and said expressionlessly.

"Sigh, I've boarded a pirate ship!" Eldest cousin sat helplessly on a chair, saying, "Bro Xu, when we get there, you definitely have to protect me. I went to open up a market, all for the sake of your business!"

"If you're really afraid, then don't go. No one knows what's going on inside, and I've only wandered around the edges. If you're really there, I'll have to protect Mi Jia Lie La, and I might not be able to control you." Xu Taiping said.

"Don't! Bro Xu, you're protecting Mi Jia Lie La, and you're also protecting me!" The eldest cousin said excitedly.

"In the City of Fear, the worse, the more crafty and cunning one is in order to live better. If you're like this, there definitely won't be any danger in there, I believe in your ability!" Xu Taiping patted his big cousin's shoulder and said.

"Then I better not go …" The eldest cousin said.

"Up to you, but I feel that if you're really afraid, you can take a stroll around the edges. The City of Fear is a very worth going to, I didn't lie to you." Xu Taiping said.

"Really? "Bro Xu, I'm a fool, but don't lie to me." The eldest cousin said.

"Have I lied to you before?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Then I'll go for a stroll at the edge." The eldest cousin said.

The car headed north and soon arrived at a train station.

"To the City of Fear, taking the train is the most convenient route. The train is able to reach a train station that is just over 100 kilometers away from the City of Fear, then we can take the train there." Kavan and Dixu walked in front of Xu Taiping and said.

"Um …" "We have a tail behind us. Should we get rid of them?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Tail must be Henry's man. That fellow didn't give up on the Slaughtering God's Sword. Let them follow us. Once we enter the City of Fear, they might even be able to block our attacks. " Karwendish said.

"That's a good idea." Xu Taiping smiled, then pulled Mikaleira towards the train station.

The group of people soon passed the security check of the train station and got on the train.

It was a sightseeing truck, and the environment in the car was very good.

Xu Taiping and his group sat in the first-class carriage. As the train moved forward, the scenery outside the window continued to pass by. It felt very good.

Not long after the train set off, Kavan and Dixu sat down in front of Xu Taiping.

"Mr Xu, I'm a bit confused. What's the purpose of you bringing those two people over?" Karwendi pointed at his older cousin and Duanmu Huazhe.

"They have their own matters to attend to. They just happen to be following us on a trip!" Xu Taiping explained.

"So that's how it is... "Mr. Xu, entering the City of Fear requires a lot of attention, so we can't have too many people who are not important. On one hand, it's to avoid distracting us, and on the other hand, it's to prevent others from noticing us." Karwendish said.

"I know." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Also, once we enter the City of Fear, it would be best for us to change our appearances. It's fine if we enter the City of Fear, but once Mikaleira's appearance enters the city, it will definitely cause a huge commotion. It will be extremely disadvantageous for us." Karwendish said.

"I've already prepared something for her. I will help her change her appearance later." Xu Taiping said.

"That's good. I've also prepared a human skin mask. I rarely use this." Cavendish smiled.

"You didn't bring any bodyguards?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I did." Karwendi smiled and said, "However, my bodyguard has already reached the City of Fear. I told him to first step over there and find a place for us to rest, in case we don't even have a place to rest."

"What about the road from the Rampage to the City of Fear? No bodyguards? " Xu Taiping asked.

"I will follow you all the way here. With you here, I can't compare to your best bodyguard!" Karwendish said.

Although I told you to hire fewer bodyguards, it's not like I wasn't asking you to hire all of them. It's fine to hire two or three of them, but since you trust me, it's fine as long as you follow me, there won't be any problems with your safety. Xu Taiping said.

"I feel the same way, but, Mr. Xu, according to the report from the scouts that I've arranged for Henry, it seems like Henry has already arranged for a strong mercenary team to enter the City of Fear and they will be waiting for us inside the city." Karwendish said.

"Just one?" Xu Taiping asked.

I'm not sure about this, but Henry wants the Slaughter God's Sword just like me, and because he's a member of the Prometheus family, he has no way to cooperate with you. He'll definitely do his best to follow us, and right now, what I'm worried about is him suddenly attacking us while we're opening the seal. Karwendish said.

"Let him do it if he wants to." A disdainful smile appeared on Xu Taiping's face, "I'm afraid he won't do it, otherwise it'll be too boring."

"Mr Xu, you really are an extraordinary person." As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his bag and placed it on the table between him and Xu Taiping.

"This is the top view of the City of Fear, take a look first!" Karwendish said.

Xu Taiping lowered his head to look at the blueprint.

The entire City of Fear was very big, about the size of half of Jiangyuan city south of the city. The city itself was a circular layout, with the center of it being the original location of a very tall building.

From above, the City of Fear was like an eye, and the building in the middle was the eyeball of the City of Fear.

The City of Fear was built on top of a desert. It was said that it used to be shaded by trees, but later on, due to less rain, it became a desert.

"Where is the seal?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Here." "It's on the ground floor of the building," he said, pointing to the building at the center of the city.

"So central?" Xu Taiping frowned and asked.

"Yes, this house was built over the sealed area." Karwendish said.

"Do you know who owns this house?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes, the owner of this house is the Ghost King. The strongest person in the entire City of Fear, as well as the most notorious person in the City of Fear. " Karwendish said.

"This house is called Ghost Temple." Xu Taiping tapped the middle of the map with his finger, and said, "There are a total of eighteen floors in the Ghost Temple, nine floors above, nine floors below, and the Ghost King lives in the nine basement, this person is very strange, he does not like to live in the highest floor, instead he likes to live in the lowest floor, and the seventeen floors above him each have a Ghost General, the Ghost General is the Ghost King's most loyal subordinate, 17 Ghost Generals live here, and these seventeen Ghost Generals have also divided the entire City of Fear into seventeen areas, each area has a Ghost King standing guard, responsible for spreading the news that the Ghost King is in charge of these seventeen areas, letting the Ghost King know the movements in these areas."

"How do you know so clearly?" Cavendish asked curiously.

"I've told you before, I was at the edge of the City of Fear for a period of time. Do you know why I never ventured into the City of Fear?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Why?" Cavendish asked.

"Because that year, when I tried to enter deeper into the City of Fear, I met one of the Ghost Generals. He told me that the City of Fear was not something that a person like me could come to, and he broke one of my legs, throwing me out of the City of Fear like I was trash … I almost died in the City of Fear, so I know more about the City of Fear than most people. " Xu Taiping said.

"I didn't expect that you would have such a past with the City of Fear!" Cavendish exclaimed.

A few years ago when I was facing the Ghost General, I did not have any chance to fight back. According to my estimation, the Ghost General I saw at that time should have a fighting strength of around 30,000, and I saw that Ghost General had a number plate on his chest with the number nine written on it. According to my investigations, that Ghost General should be the Ghost General that lives on the ninth floor, and according to the ranking in the Ghost Temple, the higher the person lives, the weaker his fighting strength is. Xu Taiping said seriously.
