Taihuang Star Seal

In the Daqian Kingdom, in addition to the lofty "Imperial Capital", there are also sixty-three cities of all sizes in the Nine Provinces.

The "Jiuzhou" among them is a "superior city" with tall walls, large population, vast land and abundant resources.

The total territorial area radiating from each top-quality city to the surrounding areas is as vast as tens of thousands of miles!

The population of a good city often exceeds tens of millions.

Among this population, it is almost impossible to find an ordinary person without cultivation.

This is because you must at least have the strength of the "Horizontal Training Realm" to make a living in a top-notch city!

The remaining “sixty-three cities” include medium-sized “middle-grade cities” and the next-highest-grade “lower-grade towns”.

A medium-quality city usually governs an area of two to three thousand miles and has a population between two million and five million.

In a medium-quality city, the ratio of warriors to ordinary people is about 50:50.

The area under the jurisdiction of a low-grade town is usually one or two times smaller than that of a medium-grade city, but its population can be as high as five or six million!

This is because more than 80% of the people living in lower-grade towns are ordinary people with no cultivation.

In a lower-grade town, a warrior at the fourth or fifth level of the horizontal training realm can already live very comfortably in this small place!

However, when a war really breaks out or a tide of beasts invades.

Eight out of ten people in the lower-quality towns will be dragged to the battlefield to be cannon fodder...

In short, the higher the grade of the city in a country, the safer the people living there will be.

The resources that the people can enjoy, the opportunities for self-improvement, the horizons that can be broadened, etc. are all proportional to the level of the city!

This is also the reason why many warriors in middle and lower-level towns are trying their best to enter the "high-level cities".

At this moment, the "Tianhuzhou" where Zhu Honghu brought Ding Chen and Wei Sanniang was one of them.

When the three men arrived at the city gate, it was already night and the gate was locked.

There are hundreds and thousands of braziers on the city wall, lighting up the surrounding area of the city!

There were also soldiers in armor coming and going, patrolling non-stop.

The leader of the patrol team is at least a skilled fighter at the second or third level of the Awakening Veins Realm.

At every certain distance, there is an officer or lieutenant at the fifth or sixth level of the Awakening Veins Realm on duty.

Under such strict defense, if a warrior wanted to break into the middle and lower-level towns by climbing over the wall at night without being noticed, it would be impossible...

"Ta, ta, ta, ta!"

After a while, the carriage carrying Ding Chen and others arrived in front of the city gate.

This carriage was parked by Zhu Honghu in the village at the entrance of the canyon.

As the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, this old man has always been used to living a carefree life and is not used to people knowing his whereabouts or recognizing his identity.

Therefore, when Zhu Honghu went out, he liked to dress up as a coachman.

He drove an empty carriage, enjoying the scenery along the way, and comprehending the Dao of Alchemy from the omnipresent power of nature...

For fear of being recognized, he would often wear a bamboo hat and smear some grass mud on his face.

The main image is that of a "countryside peasant"!

Even his carriage was ordinary, even shabby.

In fact, because of his appearance, he would often encounter petty thieves who killed and looted people on the road.

Perhaps only those "low-end petty thieves" in the Henglian realm would be interested in such a shabby carriage, hoping to take the horse away and sell it for a few silver coins...

At this time, Zhu Honghu drove the carriage to the foot of the city with ease and shouted, "Hey, please help me open the door!"

The junior officer above yawned and cursed, "Where the hell did this old man come from? Doesn't he know that the city should be closed at night?"

"Get out of here before I lose my temper!"

Zhu Honghu was not angry about this, as if he was used to such occasions.

He jumped off the carriage on his own, said "wait a moment" to Ding Chen in the carriage, tapped his feet lightly, and the whole person was like a flash of lightning, "whoosh" and jumped to the top of the city wall!

Before the young officer could react, Zhu Honghu had already put his hand on his shoulder and said indifferently, "Go, call someone who can take care of things and let him take a look at this."

As the old man spoke, he took out a dark blue token engraved with a medicine gourd pattern and waved it in front of the man.

The young officer didn't understand what the token was.

However, the opponent's ability to jump from the foot of the city to the top of the city in the blink of an eye had already scared him greatly!

You know, the top of Tianhu City is a hundred feet high from the ground!

Moreover, the power of the "Forbidden Leap Array" is constantly running in every part of the city wall.

Only cultivators above the Spirit Condensation Realm can ignore the power of the formation that prevents people from jumping onto the city wall.

A strong person in the Condensation Spirit Realm is enough to inspire awe even in a top-grade city!

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

After a while, the gate guard came hurriedly.

When he saw the old man from afar, he looked at him unfriendly.

Although a strong person in the Condensation Spirit Realm can scare low-level and middle-level military officers.

But for him, the "city gate guard" who has also cultivated to the Soul Condensation Realm, there is nothing to be afraid of!

Coupled with the young officer's deliberately exaggerated description just now, the city gate guard was very angry!

"Humph, I don't care who you are. Rules are rules. The city is closed at night and no one is allowed to disobey!"

However, when Zhu Honghu raised the token in his hand.

The city gate guard was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Ling, Lingdan Tower's Supreme Black Gold Order?!"

Looking across the entire Daqian Kingdom, there are no more than ten tokens that can rival the level of Lingdan Tower's "Supreme Black Gold Token"!

He then slapped the officer who exaggerated the incident hard on the head: "You blind bastard, do you know who this is?!"

The next second, he knelt down neatly and swiftly: "I don't know if you are the boss of Lingdan Tower..."

Before the other party could reveal Zhu Honghu's identity, the old man interrupted and said, "Shhhhh, that's enough, open the door quickly!"

"My identity must be kept secret."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Soon, the city gate was raised.

When Zhu Honghu jumped down from the city wall and returned to the carriage, he did not forget to say to the people in the carriage: "Sorry, I was delayed for a while."

A very young voice came from inside: "It's okay."

Afterwards, Zhu Honghu happily held the reins and drove into the city.

Until the carriage completely disappeared into the darkness at the end of the street.

The gate guard, who seemed to be petrified, swallowed his saliva in horror and said, "Who is that person in the carriage?"

"How could he make the 'chief owner' of Lingdan Building willingly drive for him?!"
