Chapter 52 - Free City

The Free City was established when the Martial Empire was destroyed, but no one knew who the City Lord was. Only the once every fifty years Vice City Lord took charge of the city's affairs, but the City Lord had become a mysterious person.

The Free City was divided into the inner city and outer city, and underground city: The inner city was not as big as the whole city, as a residential area, protected by the City Lord's influence, whether it was fugitives, wanted criminals, or bandits, as long as they stayed in the inner city, they would be protected by the City Lord's power. As long as they did not leave the inner city, they could protect their safety.

The outer city was mainly a place for merchants to trade, hotels to stay and other places with yellow tags in front of their doors were all protected. For example, a tavern, if there was a yellow tag in front of the door indicating that the tavern was protected by the Free City, anyone who destroyed anything inside the tavern would have to pay ten times the original price, otherwise, they would be hunted down by the Free City. The purpose of Free City is to not be afraid of you causing trouble, as long as you have money.

Underground city is a dark district, as long as you have money you can enjoy any enjoyment you want, as long as you have the ability you can even openly rob others, but no one would be that stupid. In the underground city, any one of them could be a Saint-rank expert. The gambling den, brothels, life and death arena, luxurious tavern, and the Emperor class — everything was there. As long as you had money, as long as you had the ability, this place would be your heaven, and this was also the Free City's charm.

The Free City was outside of the five nations' power, and was not under the five nations' control. The five nations' power could not interfere in the affairs of the Free City, and could not publicly apprehend people inside the Free City, or else they would be attacked by the Free City at full strength.

Li Yi, Lian Ying and the other two came to Free City. This was the first time Li Yi had been here, and the moment he entered the city, he was immediately attracted by the bustling city.

Li Yi and the rest walked and stopped, watching the people on the streets and the shops on both sides. The sun was shining, the pedestrians were weaving, and the wind was blowing. The clamor echoed, creating a peaceful scene.

Li Yi scanned the place with his divine sense, then rushed towards Wang Xiaohu and the others' residences.

Wang Xiaohu and the others were young, after all. After arriving at the Free City and settling down, the few of them went to the Free City to enjoy the scenery. Only the God Valley and Hua Wuyu stayed.

Free City's snacks were famous throughout the continent, gathering all the specialties and delicacies from all over the continent. This was enough to fill the mouths of the young brothers.

In addition, the clothes, weapons, armor and the like of Free City were the top choices of the entire continent. This satisfied the curiosity of his brothers.

After Li Yi found a few people, he had a glance at the Divine Ranked Nine-tailed Fox on Li Yi's shoulder. Instantly, Ouyang Xue's beautiful eyes flashed, and she ran in front of Li Yi. Xue'er misses you! "

Ouyang Xue said as he stroked the Nine-tailed Fox with one hand. The Nine-tailed Fox, on the other hand, was very obedient.

"Brother Yi, this Nine-tailed Fox is really cute. It was prepared for Xue'er!" Ouyang Xue just stared at the Nine-tailed Fox, showing an expression that he liked it a lot.

Li Yi laughed in his heart, and said: "If it's not for Xue'er, who else can it be? In the future, she'll belong to you!"

Before Li Yi even finished speaking, the Nine-tailed Fox had already jumped into Xue'er's embrace obediently.

"Big sister is so pretty, you have to take good care of Little Jiu in the future!" The Nine-tailed Fox hugged the first two claws and whispered. It looked extremely cute!

"Hehe, you can actually talk. I will take good care of you in the future!" Ouyang Xue did not feel it was strange that the Nine-tailed Fox was able to speak.

The others felt different. Magical beasts that could speak represented a divine rank!

Wang Xiaohu and the others reacted at the same time, they all ran over to Li Yi and extended their hands in front of him while laughing, saying together: "Master, you can't be so biased!"

Li Yi smiled, and said: "Is it not enough for you to have a Holy-ranked Lei Ying?" As he spoke, he distributed the demon beast eggs to everyone.

Li Xingfeng was not small, when he saw the Nine-tailed Fox, he was secretly shocked, and looking at the huge amount of God-ranked magical beast eggs, even the old monsters who had lived for a few hundred years were secretly shocked.

Li Xingfeng secretly thought in his heart: "We must quickly arrange for this brat to have a good talk. Let's see what secrets he has.

When everyone saw each other, an unavoidable commotion broke out.

Li Yi didn't look for Grandfather in a hurry, but instead accompanied Ouyang Xue on a stroll in the Free City.

The clothes of the Song Nation, the delicacies of the Tang Nation, the exquisite ornaments, the suitable magic items, Li Yi had bought all sorts of clothes behind Ouyang Xue.

In the underground city's life and death arena, fists met meat, and every move was met with blood; the luxurious restaurant gathered all sorts of famous dishes on the continent; black transactions could be seen everywhere, but it was not chaotic. What surprised Li Yi the most was the crystal stone that was auctioned off at the auction, yes, it was a crystal, although it was only of low quality!

At that time, Li Yi had already eaten his fill.

Crystals were the currency used by cultivators. It was also an essential energy supplement for cultivators! They were formed from the highly condensed spiritual energy under natural conditions, and were not something that could be achieved in billions of years. They usually came from the places where the spiritual veins converged.

This was the first time Li Yi had seen this piece in this world. At that time, the competition at the auction was very intense, it was obvious that there were people who knew of their value, but Li Yi could still escape after thinking of it.

Only Li Yi was a little confused as to why it took him so long to discover the figure of the crystal stone. Li Yi suppressed the doubt in his heart. Maybe his grandfather knew.

On this day, Li Yi found Li Xingfeng and said, "Brother Feng, help me investigate the background of Tang Jianping and Zero Blade Jue.

Li Yi was very confident, he believed that Li Xingfeng could do it, and do it quickly.

Li Xingfeng smiled, nodded, and did not say anything more.

A few hours later, Li Xingfeng handed over a piece of paper to Li Yi. It was written: Tang Jianping, Male, 24 years old, from the Song Dynasty.

Zero Blade Jue, male, 23 years old, native of Song, level two martial artist, both civil and martial, gentle in nature.

The two were from the same village, and when they were young, they suffered great changes. The two traveled together, and for the sake of living, they continuously fought and fought. They later gained a reputation, and were called the 'blade and sword duo'. The two of them went on their own to complete some missions while simultaneously pursuing the highest realm of martial arts. They did not join any organization or group.

Although the content was short, Li Yi had thought through enough information.

After Li Yi finished reading, the slip of paper immediately turned into ashes after a string of flames appeared in his hand.

Li Yi thought for a while, then found Nie Kuang and Nie Long, who were meditating in the hut.

Seeing that Li Yi had come to look for him, Nie Kuang stood up and laughed: "Big bro, I won't fight with you anymore, if you want to drink, go find Lian Ying and the others."

A while ago, when Li Yi had introduced them to Wang Xiaohu and the others, he had a sudden inspiration and wanted to pour some wine for them. He still remembered how Li Yi was known by the locals as the God of Wine, and it became a beautiful conversation.

On the table, Wang Xiaohu and the other three suddenly realized that Nie Kuang had been drinking with them all the time, and immediately understood his intentions. Originally, the five little brothers were a little restrained when they addressed Nie Kuang as Junior Master on Li Yi's account. However, seeing Nie Kuang's unrestrained personality, the five of them let go of their hearts and shouted at Nie Kuang.

The others were all old and experienced, so how could they not see that they were all fighting with wine and drinking by themselves.

Wine, bowls after bowls.

The wine jars were emptied one by one.

After drinking the sixth jug, Nie Kuang observed the five of them and was shocked. The five of them seemed to be fine, without any signs of being drunk.

The other people, Li Yi, Li Xingfeng, Lian Ying, and the God Valley, were drinking with them in a bowl, not minding in the slightest. However, Ouyang Xue had long ago pulled Hua Wuyu and Cai'Er to go shopping.

Li Xingfeng, Lian Ying, and the God Valley were all seniors now, with their profound knowledge and martial arts, they did not care about this bit of wine at all. Nie Kuang was not surprised that they were fine, but seeing that Wang Xiaohu and the others were the same, his scalp went numb.

Helpless, a good man, a real man, even if he gets drunk, he can't back down.

The fact that they were drinking wine shocked everyone eating in the restaurant. When had they ever seen such a bold and unrestrained person? There were actually a dozen of these at once. However, the restaurant owner knew that these people were not ordinary people. He had been operating here for so many years but had never come across anything. He quickly told the waiter to go outside to buy wine or the store's stock would be gone.

Because of this, the store was bustling with business for a while.

In the next few days, Nie Kuang and the rest continued drinking together. Although Nie Kuang was addicted to alcohol, he became timid in front of a few crazy people who were not drunk or full.

When she saw Li Yi here today, she thought that he would be dragged here to drink!

Li Yi immediately laughed out loud and said to Nie Kuang and Nie Long: "I won't be drinking today, do you remember that there are two people who want to become my disciples in this forbidden area?

Nie Kuang heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Alright, as long as we don't drink alcohol, it's fine. Those two are indeed rare geniuses."

After Tang Jianping and Zero Blade Jue came out of the forbidden grounds, they went straight to Free City and found an inn to stay.

When they talked about "Li Yi," they could not help but exclaim in admiration. There was always someone stronger than others, and there was always someone stronger than the heavens. Even though the two of them had already made quite a name for themselves at this age, they knew that it was nothing compared to the disciples of the large families.

The two of them were very happy. Luckily, they had managed to grab that opportunity. The two of them weren't worried that the expert wouldn't come looking for them. The expert had his own demeanor.

On this day, the two of them were in the room discussing the matter of the restricted area. Suddenly, the waiter said someone was looking for them. The two of them looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

The two of them immediately rushed out the house, and when they saw Li Yi, a look of doubt flashed in their eyes, this person was really unfamiliar! When they saw Nie Kuang and Nie Long behind Li Yi, they immediately became excited.

"Let's go to the house first. You will understand in a while." Li Yi did not wait for the two to speak and smiled.

Tang Jianping and Zero Blade were also not ordinary people. They invited the three into the house without saying a word.

After closing the door, Li Yi stood in front of the two and smiled slightly. He gradually rose into the air, and in a short while, became the burly man in the forbidden area.

Both of them were dumbstruck. Even Nie Kuang and Nie Long who saw it for the second time felt their hearts tremble.

Tang Jianping, Zero Blade Jue was shocked for a moment before awakening from their daze. Without another word, he immediately knelt down and said: "Disciple greets Master!"

Li Yi secretly nodded!
