Chapter 275 The Current Status of the Human Holy Land
Tianfeng City, as a holy land of mankind, gathers the best professionals in the world and naturally has many complex forces.
Xu Xiayan introduced the situation in Tianfeng City to everyone, and the first thing she mentioned was the intricate circle of power in Tianfeng City.
"Like other base cities, the main forces in Tianfeng City are hunter families."
"Families of hunters connected by blood will form a force that cannot be underestimated no matter where they are. Tianfeng City is no exception."
"However, unlike Longyao City, where the management of the base city is composed of people from various family forces, Tianfeng City is directly managed by one family, and the other families follow it as the leader, controlling all matters of Tianfeng City."
What Xu Xiayan explained to everyone surprised people like Bai Xuefei, Bai Ruxiang, and Bai Xiaoyan.
"It is directly managed by one family, and the other families all follow it as their leader?"
"Doesn't that mean that Tianfeng City is owned by one family?"
"Is there still such a family?"
The three female hunters from the Bai family were very surprised and astonished.
On the contrary, Su Ming and Wang Yihan knew something about this.
Su Ming had a general understanding of the history before coming to Tianfeng City, so he knew the reasons why such a power structure was formed here.
Not to mention Wang Yihan, whose family is in Tianfeng City. When he was trained by Wang Xiao since he was a child, he learned a lot of important knowledge points in human history and things about Tianfeng City.
So, Wang Yihan explained to the three female hunters of the Bai family on behalf of Xu Xiayan.
"Tianfeng City has such a power structure mainly because of their origins."
Wang Yihan mentioned this incident which not many people remember nowadays.
"The original purpose of Tianfeng City, or the mission that cannot be abandoned until now, is to stop the army of the Spirit Demon Prison coming from the Chaos Demon Cave."
"In order to protect the land of mankind and prevent the invasion of phantom demons, the ancestors of mankind led a group of strong men to build a defense line here. That was the original Tianfeng City."
"It is said that Tianfeng City at that time was governed as a country, with a king and his relatives ruling the local area."
Just like the world where Su Ming lived before, many countries were feudal hundreds or thousands of years ago. In ancient times, there were so-called kings and emperors who ruled the entire country. The same was true for Tianfeng City at the beginning. It was ruled by a royal family.
As time passed, Tianfeng City became more and more important in the human world, and it itself became more and more powerful. As a result, although the royal family that ruled the ancient Tianfeng City was gradually losing its absolute ruling power, its position remained unbreakable and was not shaken.
"As the rulers of Tianfeng City at that time, the royal family always led the charge and was responsible for almost the entire defense of the Chaos Demon Cave, and thus made huge sacrifices."
Xu Xiayan took over Wang Yihan's words and said this to Bai Xuefei and the others.
"It was not until the only terrifying species in history, the one sealed under Longyao City, appeared in the world that the royal family was completely destroyed."
That's right, the main reason for the decline of the Tianfeng City royal family was that they had been resisting the invasion of the Chaos Demon Cave for many years, resulting in countless sacrifices and gradually declining. However, the last straw that broke the camel's back was the appearance of the terrifying species.
At that time, it was the royal family of Tianfeng City who led the most powerful group of heroes among mankind, and resolutely fought against the demon king, sealing him in the underground of Longyao City.
It was in that battle that the last seven-star professional of the royal family fell.
At this point, the royal family of Tianfeng City finally fell into decline.
"The reason why the Wang family sent someone to stay and guard the seal is to take over this important responsibility from the fallen royal family."
Xu Xiayan said so.
"After all, the Wang family at that time was a family of close servants who protected the royal family. In ancient terms, they were the generals who fought for the kingdom for generations, and they were a family loyal to the royal family."
Therefore, the Wang family was given the surname "Wang", symbolizing their almost inseparable relationship with the royal family.
After the decline of the royal family, the Wang family took over the heavy responsibility of guarding the seal without hesitation, leaving behind a branch that eventually led to the construction of Longyao City.
However, although the royal family declined, they did not withdraw from the world stage.
"In recognition of the royal family's contributions to humanity and the great sacrifices they have made for humanity, after sealing off the king from the Spirit Demon Prison, all the families in Tianfeng City unanimously decided that the royal family's descendants would continue to be responsible for managing Tianfeng City and hold the power in Tianfeng City. No force in Tianfeng City is allowed to seize power, and they must obey the royal family and jointly govern Tianfeng City."
Xu Xiayan explained the reason behind this.
"In view of this, the managers of Tianfeng City have always been the royal family, and all the major families and forces are assisting in governance in an auxiliary manner and are not allowed to overstep the line."
This is a major decision that has been signed in black and white.
At that time, all major forces in Tianfeng City collectively signed their names on the highest-level contract, vowing never to seize power and only to assist the royal family in governance, in order to express their respect for the royal family and their great contributions.
With this written contract in black and white, and of the highest level, the strength of the constraints is terrifying. This is why Tianfeng City has never seen a coup and has always been firmly ruled by the royal family.
Although, today, the ruling power of that royal family is certainly not as strong as in ancient times, but on the surface, they are still a genuine royal family. Their ancestors produced real emperors, and they have the most noble blood flowing in their bodies, which cannot be violated by anyone.
Of course, the royal bloodline has also declined. Since the sealing of the terrifying species, there has been no seven-star professional. They even had no intention of developing because of their focus on managing Tianfeng City. Eventually, the potential in their bloodline was completely exhausted, and they have now become ordinary people. No more hunters with extraordinary powers are born in the family.
The current royal family still has the same status as before, but no longer has the power. They have undergone a comprehensive transformation and specialized in the management and governance of base cities. In modern terms, all members of the family are high-ranking officials, civil servants, and managers.
This means that the royal family no longer needs to guard the Chaos Cave. In recent years, the family has expanded greatly, and the family has become increasingly powerful and prosperous. It can be said to be a blessing in disguise.
This is also a way of survival, right?
This is the current manager and ruler of Tianfeng City. Even though times have changed and the family has undergone great changes, this special status has never changed.
"Except for the royal family who are specifically responsible for managing and governing the base city, Tianfeng City is full of major families competing with each other. This is no different from Longyao City, except that the level is raised by several levels."
Xu Xiayan continued to explain.
"Just like Longyao City, the major families in Tianfeng City are divided into different levels according to their strength and influence. There are first-class families, top-level families, and even super families that inherit nightmare bloodlines and are guarded by seven-star hunters."
There is no need to say much about those inferior families. The family forces of all kinds and classes are the most important forces in Tianfeng City, forming a pyramid structure.
In Longyao City, standing at the top of the pyramid are the six top families with six six-star professionals.
But in Tianfeng City, standing at the top of the pyramid are those super families with seven-star professionals.
To be called a super family, there must be at least one seven-star professional in the family.
To be called a top family, there must be at least one six-star professional in the family.
To be called a first-class family, there must be at least one five-star professional in the family.
Below the first-rate are second-rate families with at least one senior professional, and third-rate families that don't even have any senior professionals.
This is a power structure that exists not only in Tianfeng City and Longyao City, but also in all major base cities.
The difference is that in some weak base cities, first- and second-rate families are enough to become the top, but in Tianfeng City, only the super families, the families that can truly strive for the position of the strongest human beings, can become the top.
"There are a total of eight super families in Tianfeng City, which are the same as the six major families in Longyao City. They are collectively called the Eight Major Families by the people of Tianfeng City."
Having said this, Xu Xiayan straightened her chest and laughed.
"The Wang family is one of the eight major families. It has the ability to dominate Tianfeng City. Apart from the royal family and the other seven major families who have always respected it as their master, the Wang family is the most powerful family in the world."
After hearing what Xu Xiayan said, Wang Yihan's eyes lit up with pride.
Bai Xuefei was even more excited and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Then there is a Seven Star Hunter in the Wang family?"
This is beyond doubt.
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
"The Wang family not only has a seven-star hunter, but also more than one. Their strength is also among the top eight families, and they can almost compete for the top three positions."
Xu Xiayan explained with a smile.
"Right now, a Seven-Star Hunter from the Wang family has gone to Longyao City and is in charge there. You should know about this."
Everyone nodded immediately.
There are currently two seven-star hunters stationed in Longyao City. One was sent by the Wang family of Tianfeng City, and the other is the top of the only super family in Yinze City.
The fact that the Wang family was able to send out a seven-star hunter showed that there was more than one seven-star hunter in this family. Otherwise, without the only top hunter, it would be difficult for the Wang family to handle the situation in Tianfeng City.
Precisely because they are confident and powerful enough, the Wang family can send a Seven-Star Hunter to Longyao City to take charge for a long time.
"How is it, brother Su Ming? The Wang family is very powerful, right?"
Xu Xiayan approached Su Ming and said this with a meaningful look.
Obviously, this person deliberately mentioned the power of the Wang family in order to attract Su Ming.
It can be seen that Xu Xiayan still wants to recruit Su Ming.
Unfortunately, Su Ming ignored Xu Xiayan, which made Xu Xiayan very angry.
But Xu Xiayan couldn't do anything to Su Ming, so she had no choice but to continue explaining.
"Of course, although Tianfeng City is dominated by family forces, it is not dominated by one family alone. There are still other forces in Tianfeng City."
"Among them, the most powerful is the Warlock Guild. This organization monopolizes almost all the warlocks in Tianfeng City. Even the eight major families dare not provoke them."
"The president and vice president of the Warlock Guild are both seven-star professionals. They are also the only two seven-star warlocks in Tianfeng City. They have a high status."
"You may come into contact with them in the future. Remember not to provoke those nerds casually. They are still quite united."
Xu Xiayan slandered the Warlock Guild subtly. It was unclear whether she had a grudge against the Warlock Guild or was deliberately speaking ill of the Warlock Guild in front of Su Ming.
Su Ming naturally didn't care.
In fact, he had no intention of joining the Warlock Guild.
With the golden finger, Su Ming had no shortage of spiritual arts to learn, and he basically did not need any guidance from senior masters. He relied on himself to get to this point and became a five-star warlock. Therefore, his need for the Warlock Guild was not as great as he said.
What Su Ming wanted more were the resources of the Spirit Demon Prison that came out of the Chaos Demon Cave.
Only with resources can he stockpile chips.
Only with the chip can he open a package.
If there are packages that can be opened, he will have countless extraordinary items, including treasures that can be used to improve himself and treasures that can be used to improve his combat power.
This is Su Ming’s way to the top.
If I join the Warlock Guild, an organization with a strong academic nature, it will probably be just like what Xu Xiayan said. I will just become a nerd, looking through all kinds of spell books all day long, and concentrate on studying spiritual arts.
This is not what Su Ming wants.
He deliberately mentioned the Warlock Guild just to make Xu Xiayan give up, or to use it as an excuse.
Xu Xiayan didn't know about this, so even if she continued to slander the Warlock Guild, it would not affect Su Ming.
Xu Xiayan continued to explain the situation in Tianfeng City to everyone.
Then, Xu Xiayan mentioned an important matter.
"By the way, in Tianfeng City, contribution points are the currency in circulation. Money can only be used for ordinary transactions. It is not as useful as you think. You need to remember this."
The topic mentioned by Xu Xiayan made everyone stunned.
"Contribution points?"
Su Ming was also a little surprised.
"Yes." Xu Xiayan nodded and said, "In the beginning, contribution points were a system used by the royal family to encourage professionals in Tianfeng City to actively fight against the phantom demons and defend the country. As long as they made achievements or defeated the phantom demons, the professionals could obtain corresponding contribution points and exchange them for treasures."
This is the same principle as the contribution value system that Longyao City established during the Huaming Campaign.
"Over time, contribution points have become a currency circulated among professionals. As long as it involves the sale of extraordinary items and extraordinary powers, contribution points are used instead of money."
Xu Xiayan said so.
"From now on, you must make earning contribution points your primary goal and activity."
