Chapter 819: Chapter 717: When Card Draws Arrived in the Mountain and Sea Realm (Super Chapter)
A few Bull Clan members with horns on their heads, towering at two to three meters tall, walked into Tao City from the eastern gate of the outer city.
The eastern gate is near one of the tributaries of the Kowloon River, and not far from the gate lies a waterway where the river flows turbulently, occasionally visible with large trading ships passing by.
The Kowloon River spans the entire Celestine Mountain Range, and can even be navigated upriver to the plains in the northern part of the range—while less convenient compared to the airspace, it can transport more cargo—a Space Ring is not a rarity, but one of large specifications is.
“But isn’t the waterway unsafe? Especially a major river like the Kowloon River, it’s not unlikely for Unity Realm aquatic Mutant Beasts to be lurking inside.”
Another Minotaur spoke in a muffled voice, “I heard that the Guardian Sect Spirit Beast ‘Dragon Fish’ of the Tao Sect can provide Protection for passing ships, so there’s no need to worry about Sea Beast attacks within the Kowloon River waterway.”
The Minotaurs, seeing the tall city walls of Tao City and the bustling caravans coming and going, were filled with envy.
They proceeded into the city along the main road.
At the city gate, warriors from Tao City were stationed, standing tall in their uniform attire, and the weapons allocated to the team leaders were Divine Weapons, which made a group of impoverished bulls drool.
“Boss, this Tao City is really wealthy, and its defenses are quite tight and serious.”
Large cities must have experts stationed, yet not necessarily warriors patrolling all the time.
With many foreign visitors in the city, especially from different races, the occasional outbreak of conflict is commonplace.
Many cities don’t bother unless the situation escalates, but in Tao City, it’s an unusual scene of multi-racial civilization and harmony.
The male… Minotaur, referred to as the boss, has a body width that doesn’t match a typical Minotaur, seeming more agile and flexible, his robust muscles carrying more explosive strength.
He swept his sharp gaze around, nodding slightly, “Tao Sect is very competent in city management, and it also indicates their ambition, not just building a city for an affiliated sect.”
“Look, the streets in the city are very well-planned and orderly, and clean, with aesthetically pleasing architecture. Even those hawking vendors are restricted to market areas. In other cities we’ve been to, some vendors always cling to us as outsiders. Hmph, do they think us Bull Clan are easily deceived?”
The Bull Clan leader, upon first arriving at Tao City, found the atmosphere here comfortable, “Not just that, within Tao City, aside from the Law Enforcement Team, all flying is prohibited, and business groups’ flying instruments are also parked at the edge of the city… Some strong individuals can break free from the effects of the No-fly Array, but they still don’t fly, which only proves Tao City’s sufficient authority and dominion, anyone daring to defy the law faces consequences.”
A nearby Bull Clan member whispered:
“Boss, are you saying Tao Sect’s strength is even greater than it appears, should we still accept the Seven Lustrous Federation’s offer?”
The Bull Clan member glanced left and right, worried that a bunch of Tao City’s Law Enforcement Team warriors might suddenly emerge and arrest them.
“Heh.” The Bull Clan boss slightly shook his head, “Tao Sect is strong, but the Seven Lustrous Federation’s preparation is more comprehensive. Besides the Seven Lustrous Federation itself, they also invited three other top forces to jointly deal with Tao Sect.”
A Bull Clan member asked, “But boss, aside from the Seven Lustrous Federation, aren’t the other three top forces likely to hold some reservations?”
“Indeed, those top forces are adept at taking advantage, they might send out a few Divine Domain Realm individuals at most, but besides the three top forces, the Seven Lustrous Federation also invited ‘Traceless Killer’ Demon Shadow, ‘Dragon Descendant’ Kanker, and ‘Eye of Destruction’ Gena.”
“Those few, aren’t they independent experts of your calibre, boss! Each one can suppress ordinary Divine Domain Realm individuals! With those three, the Seven Lustrous Federation is sure to go all out, plus you, ‘War Madman’ Niu Tu… That’s truly a certainty.”
“Whether it’s certain or not is still undecided. We’re here today to scout Tao City, to leave ourselves an escape route if the operation goes awry.”
Niu Tu’s face also bore a trace of pride, after all, he was one of the pinnacle experts on this continent, and not many could steadily suppress his presence.
At this level, as long as he wasn’t asking for trouble, no one could kill him, and the Seven Lustrous Federation’s plan wasn’t to attack Tao Sect’s sect headquarters, but instead to deliver them a fatal blow when Tao Sect and White City officially establish their strategic Alliance a few months later.
He accepted the Seven Lustrous Federation’s invitation without hesitation.
“The Seven Lustrous Federation, especially the Red Lustrous Clan, have put in significant effort against Tao Sect, who knows what grudge or hatred they bear, but I don’t care, as long as it benefits us.”
They arrived at the commercial district, which was even more prosperous, with numerous skyscrapers standing tall, the glass of the buildings reflecting dazzling light under the sunlight.
In the commercial district, every sort of shop could be seen, and Niu Tu was surprised to find some shop owners were mere ordinary people.
Ordinary people were unable to secure footing in other places at all.
“Boss, look over there, it’s the ‘Treasure Pavilion’, and it’s the headquarters! How about we take a look, even just to feast our eyes a bit.”
Niu Tu pondered for a while before saying, “Alright, but not just to feast your eyes, ‘Treasure Pavilion’ is the core building of Tao City, and its alert level is surely high, we can take this opportunity to observe Tao City’s defense layout.”
The ‘Treasure Pavilion’ was crowded with customers, almost all in the Stepping Void and above, and rare sights in ordinary times like Unity Realm individuals were abound here.
