One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

Chapter 38 The Top of the World

In previous lives, people chased power and wealth, but no one could keep power and wealth forever.

So every generation there will be people who start riots, and there is no real peace at all.

But in this world, the pinnacle of strength and realm is the pinnacle of status, and one doesn't have to worry about money and power at all.

Therefore, the high-level officials of the imperial courts and armies of various countries all have cultivation bases, either martial arts masters, or magic arts masters, or both.

Martial arts are divided into eight realms, and the peak human immortal is already a god-like figure, basically only existing in legends.

It's almost impossible to become a martial arts saint with unparalleled combat power. He can fight against an army of [-] with one man, and it's easy to be a marshal in the army.

As for Taoism, there are also realms such as leaving the body, traveling at night, traveling in the day, expelling objects, manifesting form, possessing a body, ghosts and immortals, and yang gods.

After cultivating to the level of ghosts and immortals, one can take away the fetus, dissect the corpse and reincarnate, constantly break the barrier of life and death, and extend one's own lifespan.

Whether it is a martial saint or a ghost fairy, they all have abilities far beyond ordinary people, and naturally they can also have endless power and wealth.

Therefore, in almost every country, the core position is controlled by martial saints or ghost immortals.

Some are in the light, some are in the dark, and they rule the world together.

As soon as Song Yun heard the introductions of these spies, he could guess that today's melee among the nations is essentially a game between these strong men.

If these martial saints or ghost immortals are unwilling to fight, there will be no fight at all below.

As for why they fought, it is impossible for these spies to know the truth. There are only various gossips and rumors pointing out some possibilities——

A person has cultivated to the extreme, has status and wealth, and then wants to become a god.

Either take the path of martial arts, immortality, or the path of Fayangshen.

But no matter how you go, you need opportunities and resources.

There are more wolves and less meat, which may be the root cause of the war between the strong.

In the Great Xia Empire back then, there were immortals sitting in the town, and the martial saints and ghost immortals below did not dare to do anything wrong.

But 100 years ago, that human immortal failed to take the last step, and regretted that he fell. Without restraint, the strong began to fight on their own, vying for resources.

Until today, a hundred years later, there is still no peerless master who has come to end the chaos in the world.

Seeing Song Yun lost in thought, a spy suddenly said:
"Brother Tai has already achieved such an amazing cultivation level at such a young age. It is not unreal to be a martial sage in the future, and even to become a human immortal. But without opportunities, it will be difficult to move forward in the future."

"My Daliang is a powerful country in martial arts in the southwest. There are several martial saints in the country, and there is also Zhenguo supernatural power "Zhenwu Tulu", which is a low-level martial arts technique!"

"Brother, if you come back to Daliang with me, serve the King of Liang, and become a Martial Saint in the future, be named Marquis and Marshal, and enjoy all the glory and wealth, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

These spies had already exposed their identities anyway, so they simply opened up their conversations. Seeing that Song Yun didn't look like a powerful person, they opened their mouths to solicit.

One person speaks, and the rest are not to be outdone, releasing one benefit after another to attract Song Yun, which reveals a lot of the background of each country.

Song Yun heard something new and didn't interrupt them until the spies showed their magical powers, and all of them spoke dryly, then said:
"Okay, that's it for today, everyone is still obedient, that's right, I don't want to kill you."

After hearing this, the spies secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The young man in white didn't forcefully ask the secrets of the countries, which made them feel much better, and they didn't have to be in a dilemma.

Although ordinary people don't know these things now, they are no longer secrets after they have reached a high level of cultivation. With the martial arts realm of the young man in white, he will know about it sooner or later.

Song Yun didn't bother to ask those so-called state secrets, he was not a spy.

What can really arouse his interest are the opportunities and resources of martial arts, such as heaven-level exercises, pills, magic weapons and so on.

Song Yun has the talent of [Warrior of the City], and he can be promoted by killing enemies, but the higher the realm, the more talent points required for promotion.

Now that he is at the peak of the fifth rank, he needs a full 10 cultivation points to be promoted to a grandmaster, but he has only saved less than 3 points.

If this depends on killing the enemy, I don't know when it will be killed.

However, before General Guo taught "Nine Transformations of Supernatural Powers", only the first three forms of the top-ranking exercises of the earth level added 3000 points to the cultivation base!
This made Song Yun understand that there is still a way to be promoted.

Obtain some rare martial arts opportunities and be promoted to martial saint as soon as possible, in order to gain a foothold in this chaotic world.

While thinking, Song Yun untied the spies.

Everyone moved their bodies and said in surprise: "Thank you, brother, we are... can we go?"

"Let's go?" Song Yun chuckled, "You sneaked into my territory, trying to spy on information, and you want to leave when I catch you?"

"Ah?" Everyone was a little dazed, neither killing nor letting go, what did they want to do?
"Stay here and do some work, and leave after finishing." Song Yun pointed to an open space not far from the old soldier's cemetery.

"Build two houses here, I want to live here."

This is not a difficult task, but after many people loosened their ties, their minds became alive and they did not make a sound immediately.

Song Yun glanced at them with a half-smile, "You can move around freely now, do you want to escape? You can try it too."

As he spoke, he raised the bronze sword stuck on the ground, sneered and remained silent.

Dozens of spies looked at each other, no one spoke, and no one dared to move first.

Although they have martial arts skills, they are only third-rank warriors at most, how dare they run under the nose of the peak innate warriors?
"Hehe, brother Taiwan is in need, how dare we not help? It's just two rooms, we can fix it together in half a day."

The spies chose to cooperate and set up two houses, which was better than risking their lives.

Song Yun and Gao Hanqing stood quietly on the side, watching the spies spread out in all directions, rummaging through the nearby ruins for usable materials.

Building a house here is to protect the cemetery of the old soldiers.

The cemetery is now the only place of importance in Anxi.

The gates on all sides of the city are wide open, and outsiders can enter Anxi City, but they cannot disturb the rest of the old soldiers.

As for the burned streets, there is no need to rebuild them. They will be kept as they are, and it will be regarded as commemorating the last battle of the veterans.

Song Yun supervised the crowd, and made some requests from time to time. After all, it was a place to live for a long time, and it had to be more comfortable.

The second house was for Gao Hanqing, and Song Yun also asked Gao Hanqing to direct the spies to build a house according to his own needs.

I caught a batch of ready-made coolies to work, and the two of them just watched from the sidelines, which was much easier.

Scanning around the busy scene, none of the spies dared to run far, so they were active nearby.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Song Yun took out a simple map of various countries and looked at it, which was found from the spies.

All the major countries on the map have sent people to Anxi, but Jingguo is the only one missing.

Song Yun asked everyone in a loud voice: "How is Jing Guo's recent development? Does anyone know?"
