The two walked side by side on the road. Yuan Ziyi was still curious about Chen Zhou's background. She came from the Ninth-Level Army and naturally knew its rules. The Ninth-Level Army did not accept male disciples, which was why Yuan Ziyi asked such a question at this moment.
“We are the exception,” Chen Zhou replied. Like the others who had entered the eighth level of the Advanced Alliance, Chen Zhou was a special case; they had all undergone training from the ninth-level army. Although their training had lasted less than half a day.
Finally, the teleportation portal opened.
However, it can be said that their understanding of the concept of teleportation channels was first introduced in the training camp of this nine-layered army.
Without the training camp for this nine-layered army, they would still be completely unaware of what this nine-layered army is all about.
This is all thanks to the training camp of the nine-layered army.
Leaving aside others, just consider Chen Zhou and the middle-aged merchant. If they hadn't gone to the ninth-level army and participated in that training, they probably wouldn't have found a way to enter the eighth level. Even if they did know how to enter the eighth level, they wouldn't know anything after entering.
They didn't even know that they needed to sense demonic energy to safely pass through the teleportation tunnel.
Therefore, Chen Zhou has always been quite grateful to the nine-layered army, even though there were some unpleasant incidents in the process.
"You? That's right, so many of you came in from the ninth floor." Yuan Ziyi paused for a moment before continuing, "It's one thing to break the rules for you, but why are there so many of you? Apart from you and that deputy leader, there's nothing strange about the rest of you."
Yuan Ziyi now believes that it was only because these few people were promising talents that Granny Huasong kindly allowed them to participate in the training.
But then Yuan Ziyi thought again, something was wrong. She had been in the Ninth-Level Army for so long, and she had never seen so many men all at once. Where did they come from?
“Our original alliance was called the Advanced Alliance. We were founded on the tenth floor. We went from the tenth floor to the ninth floor, and then on the ninth floor, we had the opportunity to fight your ninth-floor army. We fought to a draw and peacefully divided the land of the ninth floor, with us occupying the other side. Naturally, the resources of the ninth floor should also be shared peacefully. However, for some reason, which I don’t know, the leader of your ninth-floor army invited us to select a group of people to enter the teleportation channel after training. Naturally, we chose ourselves,” Chen Zhou explained.
These words immediately dispelled Yuan Ziyi's doubts, and now she finally knew the origins of Chen Zhou and the Advanced Alliance.
So you came up from the tenth floor...
For someone like Yuan Ziyi, who was assigned to the ninth level upon entering the Burning Field, she truly did not know the hardships of entering the tenth level, and at this moment she had no impression of the tenth level.
"What's the tenth floor like? I think people on the ninth and eighth floors can live normally, which is much better than the environment in Shanghai. Is the tenth floor the same?" Yuan Ziyi asked casually.
"Of course they're different. The tenth floor is nothing compared to the ninth and eighth floors. I think the tenth floor is the real incineration ground, while the ninth and eighth floors don't even qualify as incineration grounds. The environment and rules there are perfectly suited to the word 'incineration ground'," Chen Zhou said coldly.
Now, when he thinks back to his life on the tenth floor, although Chen Zhou didn't truly feel the suffering there, he could clearly see it.
He could tell just by looking at the path the middle-aged merchant led him into the cave.
Yuan Ziyi didn't reply after that, and the two continued to wander through the fields.
Although this side of the mountain range that Chen Zhou and his companion had crossed was equivalent to the town of Ningwuzhuang, there were still crops growing there. The two of them had been walking along this straight road for quite some time now, with crops on both sides.
Chen Zhou strained to look ahead, even though they had walked for quite some time.
However, Chen Zhou still sees no end in sight.
"After crossing this road, we still need to climb over a mountain and take another similar road to reach the edge of the capital," Yuan Ziyi reminded her.
Only after hearing Yuan Ziyi's words did Chen Zhou have a general understanding of the distance from here to the capital. This was truly beyond Chen Zhou's expectations. He never imagined that Ningwuzhuang was so far from the capital.
Chen Zhou finally understood why the people of the capital city had so little control over the eight villages under their jurisdiction. It was simply because the distance was too great, and even if they wanted to manage them, they couldn't manage them effectively.
So they simply stopped caring.
"You entered Ningwuzhuang as soon as you entered the eighth floor? And then you traveled such a long road once?" Chen Zhou asked.
“Yes, when I first entered the eighth level, I also entered Ningwuzhuang. Then, Sister Qing’er took me to the capital. I remember that we walked for two days and two nights before we arrived at the capital,” Yuan Ziyi recalled.
Two days and two nights?
It seems that distance and time are completely different concepts. Just now when Chen Zhou heard Yuan Ziyi talk about distance, he didn't have any concept of it. Now that he has heard it, his understanding has completely changed.
Chen Zhou and his group haven't even walked for an afternoon, yet they've already come this far. No wonder they can't see the end of this road; it turns out they've only just begun.
"Why is the area of this eighth floor so large?" Chen Zhou muttered to himself.
"It is said that the eighth level is the largest of the demonic levels, very vast. Ningwuzhuang is considered one of the villages closest to the capital among the eight villages," Yuan Ziyi said.
