Ch 219: Five Directions City
“Clan Leader, what should we do?”
Several Elders were like ants on a hot pot.
The Green Snake Clan Leader also had a look of melancholy.
“This adult has been in our Green Snake Tribe for several days, looking everywhere every day, as if searching for something. If I’m not mistaken, he must be looking for the Eldest Daughter,” an Elder said with a mournful face, “But the Eldest Daughter really isn’t in the tribe!”
“We all know the Eldest Daughter isn’t in the tribe, but the Star Envoy doesn’t believe us. He must suspect that we haven’t sincerely submitted and have hidden the Eldest Daughter, so he sent this adult to investigate. That’s why this adult has been searching desperately these past few days. Alas, the Star Envoy’s distrust is extremely dangerous for our Green Snake Tribe!”
“What should we do?”
Everyone looked at the Clan Leader.
But the Clan Leader also had a troubled expression; he didn’t know what to do either.
“We can only hope that after this adult searches for a few more days and finds no trace of the Eldest Daughter, he will believe that our Green Snake Tribe has sincerely submitted!”
“Let’s hope so.”
Everyone quietly left.
Leaving Liu Dongyue to continue sitting on the stone, thinking.
“This is so difficult.”
After thinking for an afternoon, Liu Dongyue still hadn’t thought of a way to completely leave Western Ting.
For now, the Green Snake Tribe is the safest place.
But only temporarily.
He will be exposed sooner or later.
It could be tomorrow, or it could be the next second.
“Hey, you.”
Liu Dongyue called out to the Green Snake Tribe soldiers not far away.
“What are your orders, sir?”
The soldier quickly came over and spoke respectfully to Liu Dongyue.
Orders had been passed down within the tribe: any request from Liu Dongyue must be granted.
“Get me a map.”
Liu Dongyue instructed the soldier.
“A map?”
The soldier was greatly surprised and quickly said, “Sir, how could our Green Snake Tribe possibly have such a precious thing?”
“What?”
Liu Dongyue was stunned. He thought the other hadn’t understood what he wanted, so he emphasized, “I just want a map, a map, do you understand?”
“I understand, but our Green Snake Tribe doesn’t have such a thing.” The soldier quickly said, “I’ll go find an Elder to see if they have any solution.”
Having said that, he ran off to find the Elders.
“Did you say he wants what?”
When the Elders heard the soldier’s report that Liu Dongyue wanted a map, they were also very shocked.
“Our Green Snake Tribe, such a small tribe, how could we possibly have such a treasure as a map?”
“As expected of someone from a large race like the Penglai Demon Race. He asks for a map right away.” One Elder said helplessly, “Forget it, I’ll go talk to this adult.”
Liu Dongyue was waiting when he saw an Elder returning with two soldiers.
“Greetings, sir.”
The Elder respectfully said, “Sir, you just said you wanted a map, right?”
“Yes.” Liu Dongyue didn’t quite understand. He just wanted a map; did it really require an Elder to come?
“Sir, you may not know,” the Elder said awkwardly, “Maps are not allowed to circulate among the various tribes in Western Ting. Perhaps large tribes like the Penglai Demon Race have maps, but a small place like our Green Snake Tribe doesn’t.”
“Ah? Then where can I see a map?” Liu Dongyue was anxious. Without a map, leaving would be even more impossible.
“If you want to see a map, you can go to Five Directions City.”
The Elder quickly said, “The Hundred Beasts Hall in Five Directions City has a huge map. If you want to see a map, I can send someone to escort you to Five Directions City.”
“Seeing a map is so troublesome.”
Liu Dongyue mumbled.
Hearing Liu Dongyue’s mumbling, the Great Elder could only chuckle, “This is a young master from a large family, he doesn’t know the hardships of our small tribe.”
“Fine, let’s go to Five Directions City then.” Liu Dongyue thought for a moment and agreed. Perhaps he could find a way to escape in Five Directions City.
Since Liu Dongyue had given the order, the Great Elder immediately made arrangements.
Two Elders with Profound Connection Realm cultivation levels from the tribe, along with a squad of Green Snake Tribe soldiers, were assigned to escort Liu Dongyue to Five Directions City.
The Green Snake Tribe soldiers were also very happy because opportunities to go to Five Directions City were few and far between. Most of them had spent their entire lives in the tribe, rarely venturing out. Going to such a large city was a great opportunity for them.
To see the prosperity of the city.
Even Liu Dongyue was curious. After all, this was his first time in Western Ting Continent. He also wanted to see the difference between the cities here and the Human Race cities.
After all, ninety-nine percent of the Human Race would never see a Western Ting city in their lifetime.
He felt a little nervous and excited.
So after lunch, Liu Dongyue and everyone set off.
Liu Dongyue thought that once he arrived in Five Directions City, he would definitely eat some good food. Recently, in the Green Snake Tribe, he had only eaten wild fruits; there was nothing else to eat. They ate raw meat, which he couldn’t stomach.
Once he got to Five Directions City, he would find some delicious food to make up for it.
But Liu Dongyue underestimated the distance from the Green Snake Tribe to Five Directions City.
The Green Snake Tribe’s location was near the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Ridges, very remote. It took three full days to leave the mountain range, and then another two and a half days before Liu Dongyue finally saw Five Directions City.
“Sir, we’ve arrived at Five Directions City.”
The two Elders leading the way were named Bugge and Duo Qing.
The two had taken meticulous care of Liu Dongyue along the way, making him quite moved.
“This is Five Directions City?”
Liu Dongyue looked at the city ahead and felt disappointed.
The city walls were made of mud, and the wind and sand blew everywhere.
To call it a city was an overstatement; it was more like an earthen city.
Even a small county town in Dongyan Province would be countless times better than this, right?
People came and went at the city gate, all kinds of Demon Race, with strange faces.
“So this is Five Directions City.”
The young men from the Green Snake Tribe who came along were incredibly excited, looking everywhere after entering the city, like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
Liu Dongyue glanced at the city and lost interest immediately.
It wasn’t even as good as a remote fifth-tier city in Divine Palace Kingdom.
Liu Dongyue’s calm demeanor and disappointed expression made Bugge and Duo Qing secretly think, “As expected of a Heaven’s Favorite from the Penglai Demon Race, he’s truly seen the world. Arriving in a place like Five Directions City, he doesn’t even show a hint of surprise!”
