Suyab, with its towering city gates.
To defend against the monsters, the city walls were entirely made of cast iron, which gleamed with a dark light under the sun.
This is a necessary stop on the way to Zhongzhou.
After arriving in Suyab City, Qin Xin also considered entering the depths of the Dead Leaf Forest from the area surrounding Suyab City and then heading to Central Plains.
Through his spiritual sense, Qin Xin could sense that the area surrounding Suiye City contained numerous insurmountable natural barriers and swampy gas. Entering rashly would likely result in death from the swampy gas, even without encountering powerful demonic beasts.
Only after entering the Dharma Aspect Realm and forming one's own Dharma Aspect Domain through one's own Yuan Power can one isolate these swamp gases from the outside.
However, Qin Xin has only just entered the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm, and he is completely unable to withstand this swamp gas.
Where Suyab City is located, the swamp gas has completely dissipated, and behind Suyab City, it seems as if there is a passage that has been artificially opened up, and there seems to be no trace of those powerful monsters.
Upon investigation, Qin Xin discovered a caravan about to enter Suyab. After deliberately concealing his presence, he secretly joined the caravan and then entered Suyab.
As Qin Xin passed through the city gate, he also noticed the guards stationed there.
These people are almost all at the Qi Opening Realm, but they exude a kind of intimidating aura. Such an aura could not be formed without years of fighting on the battlefield.
Looking at the bustling scene within Suyab City, this place is like a quiet haven in the Dead Leaf Forest, protected by powerful figures and fortified with black iron walls. Warriors who come here can feel very safe.
Of course, because beyond the City of Broken Leaf lies the depths of the Dead Leaf Forest, this city possesses various rare spiritual herbs and beast crystals of high-level demonic beasts, and merchants from all over the Eastern Wilderness come to purchase them every day.
Many martial artists, seeking a livelihood, gradually gathered in this city, forming various mercenary groups to venture deep into the Dead Leaf Forest to hunt monsters and gather spiritual herbs.
Qin Xin was aware of the danger, after all, Suyab City was the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he did not intend to stay here for long. Instead, he planned to go directly through Suyab City into the depths of the Dead Leaf Forest and then set foot in Zhongzhou as soon as possible.
Upon arriving at the passage into Zhongzhou from Suiye City, Qin Xin noticed that there were many disciples dressed in the robes of the Eastern Wilderness Academy guarding the area.
Furthermore, rows of troops from the Great Xia Dynasty stood ready atop the city walls. Moreover, the walls here were several times thicker than those Qin Xin had seen when he entered Suyab City, and there seemed to be many arrays laid out on them, faintly radiating a dazzling light.
Qin Xin also knew that if these people were not guarding the area, and the powerful monsters deep in the Dead Leaf Forest were to break out, many cities of the three major dynasties in the Eastern Wilderness located around the Dead Leaf Forest would be affected.
Qin Xin had previously read some records that a thousand years ago, a level seven demon beast led many demon beasts out of Suiye City, triggering a beast tide that destroyed all the cities around the withered leaf forest, causing countless civilian deaths and injuries, which made the entire Eastern Wilderness panic.
At that time, a powerful figure single-handedly repelled the level seven demonic beast. Afterwards, he led a group of people to kill all the rampaging demonic beasts, thus bringing peace to the entire Eastern Wilderness.
This person's name was Xia, and he was the founder of the current Great Xia Dynasty.
However, not long after establishing his dynasty, he left the Eastern Wilderness and never returned. Some say he ascended to the Upper Realm and left the Tianxuan Continent, while others say he has perished. However, due to the limited information in the Eastern Wilderness, none of these speculations have been verified.
As Qin Xin prepared to enter the passage, he found disciples from the Eastern Wilderness Academy and the Celestial Master Sect standing in front of it.
However, the disciples of the Eastern Wilderness Academy were checking the identities of the powerful figures coming and going, while the disciples of the Celestial Master Sect were leisurely sitting aside chatting.
Qin Xin recognized some familiar faces among the group, all of whom were from the East Peak Thunder Pavilion of the Inner Court.
Seeing the group's investigation, Qin Xin also sensed that something was amiss.
Before entering Suiye City, he naturally learned about the situation here. The five major sects of the Eastern Wilderness would take turns sending disciples to guard the city, and they would not check the martial artists who came in and out. Moreover, the people sent by the Eastern Wilderness Academy were not from Suiye City.
The current situation is clearly illogical, which makes Qin Xin more vigilant.
He also knew that the purpose of this group of people coming here was very likely to block him.
"How did Yun Lei find out about Yun Yi's death so quickly?"
Qin Xin had some doubts, but he didn't dare to enter the passage. Instead, he quietly slipped away, stayed at an inn nearby, and waited for an opportunity to enter the depths of the Dead Leaf Forest.
He would be safe once he left the Forest of Dead Leaves.
Just as Qin Xin entered the inn, he also discovered through his spiritual sense that a middle-aged man carrying a wine gourd was quietly following behind him.
After confirming the person's identity, Qin Xin grinned and went straight into the inn, arriving at his room.
Qin Xin had just entered the room when the middle-aged man immediately followed him in.
"Peak Master Rong, what brings you to Suiye City?"
Qin Xin did not turn around, but poured himself some tea and sat down in the chair.
Rong Ling was surprised that Qin Xin could discover her, but she looked anxious and drank the tea on the table.
It scalded my teeth instantly.
Seeing Rong Ling's expression, Qin Xin almost burst out laughing.
Rong Ling glared at him, annoyed, and said, "You still have the nerve to laugh! If it weren't for you, how could I have come back to this Suyab City!"
Hearing Rong Ling's tone, Qin Xin naturally guessed that Yun Lei had also come here.
Before Qin Xin could speak, Rong Ling cut to the chase and asked, "You killed Jia Yan and the others, didn't you?"
Qin Xin feigned ignorance and asked in return, "Jia Yan is dead?"
Seeing Qin Xin's puzzled look, Rong Ling frowned as well. After all, if Qin Xin could really kill Jia Yan, a sixth-level Yuanfu Realm expert, it would be extremely terrifying.
Qin Xin's apparent ignorance relieved Rong Ling slightly, but his expression remained grim. "Jia Yan and Yun Yi went to Tianyuan City to hunt you down, but they all perished in a valley. Moreover, there was a formation in that valley, which seemed to be a sword formation."
Upon hearing Rong Ling's words, Qin Xin felt a slight weight lift from his shoulders. No one else in the Eastern Wilderness Academy knew about Qin Xin's sword formation, so even though several people had died, they couldn't trace it back to him.
However, Qin Xin suddenly thought of Xia Qi, who had escaped at the time, and felt a little worried.
“Even if it wasn’t you, Yun Lei is certain that this matter is related to you, so you’re likely to be in a lot of trouble,” Rong Ling said with some concern.
Qin Xin shook his head and said, "This isn't the first time those people from Lei Ge have tried to kill me; they're used to it."
Rong Ling said angrily, "These guys always like to attack their fellow disciples."
Rong Ling then patted Qin Xin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll get you out of this Suiye City. But once you enter the depths of the Kuye Forest, you'll have to rely on yourself. Besides, Zhongzhou is not like this Eastern Wilderness. Be careful when you get there."
