It was said that over a hundred years ago, the commoners only had to go out to sea to fish or go hunting in the mountains. They lived in extreme poverty, so they were called poor.

When this piece of land was given to the Jun Family, the emperor of the empire didn't care about the name being too shabby, so he changed it to the Sky Sovereign, meaning that it was wide open to the sky.

Generations of auxiliary country lords thought that the direct descendants of their families would train in the capital and would only return to the Qiongzhou after officially inheriting the throne.

Monarch Moli's father, who was also the former Duke of the Auxiliary State, was extremely talented. He had turned some of the barren hills and fields here into treasures, opened up and planted some crops, barely allowing the citizens of the Qiongzhou to stop starving.

In Monarch Moli's generation, they simply gave up on their own fields to grow sugar cane, turned it into sugar, and sold it to the people of the world.

The first batch of sugar was refined from wild sugar cane and had already been sold for millions of silver. Although it was not much for the entire Qiongzhou, on average, it was only worth one or two silver each.

However, it was much better than his miserable life before.

An unending stream of food entered the Qiongzhou from the outside.

The center of the Qiongzhou was the secondary duke's National Duke’s Mansion. This place had already developed into a huge city, smaller than the capital city of course, and could be compared to the Xu City. Because it was located in the Southern Ocean, this city's name was South Sea City.

Nearly twenty percent of the people living in Qiongzhou lived in this place, which was hundreds of thousands of people.

The two warriors appeared outside the South Sea City. They did not enter the city, but instead went around to the shore.

The clothing of these two people did not attract anyone's attention, because in the past half year, there had been many martial artists who appeared in Qiongzhou dressed in this way. The citizens of Qiongzhou had long since gotten used to it.

The sea! Bing Lanyue finally saw the ocean.

In her previous life, she had only seen the sea on television, not in person.

It was a deep blue color, as if it was going to fall in at any moment.

Bing Lanyue still remembered that in her previous life, she had once imagined that she and her boyfriend would hold a grand wedding at a beach under the gaze of tens of thousands people.

However, when she saw the sea, she did not have such an impulse.

The rising and falling waves pushed the waves forward, splashing foam on the beach, and before the foam had completely burst, the waves came again.

"Elder sister, have you seen the sea before?" Bing Lanyue took off her bamboo hat, revealing a slightly black face.

After a long journey, her face had become slightly sunburned and she was no longer as tender as before.

Ru Zui also took off her bamboo hat and looked at the ocean, greedily watching the beautiful scenery.

"No, I've never seen such a beautiful scenery before." Ru Zui was slightly emotional.

Bing Lanyue chuckled: "Big sister, if you can meet the person you like, take him to an island overseas and plant a few acres of land. Afterwards, all day long, you will see such a beautiful scenery."

Ru Zui nodded heavily.

"We watched the sunset before entering the city?" Bing Lanyue believed that even if she stood in front of Monarch Moli, he would not be able to recognize him.

Having been travelling for such a long period of time, she had grown skinnier despite the weather and the weather. Even her pointed chin was exposed.

Aside from barbecue, she would also eat barbecue every day. Only when she arrived at the town would she be able to get some vegetables. Anyone who ate would look like barbecue to her.

After travelling for an entire day, they had finally reached the South Sea City.

After entering the Qiongzhou realm, Bing Lanyue and Ru Zui were even more careful. They did not take the initiative to contact the Longmen Escort Office and Red Dust Inn of the place, and only avoided meeting people from the martial arts world.

Bing Lanyue and Ru Zui both knew this principle. In a city with hundreds of thousands of people, randomly finding an inn would not attract the attention of people.

Thus, they did not stop at all and directly rushed over to South Sea City.

Reaching the eastern gate of South Sea City, Bing Lanyue didn't dare to go in, so they came to the beach.

The fishermen from the sea came ashore with their harvest from the day's journey. They were all very well-behaved. After just a glance, they stopped looking in their direction.

Maybe because they were wearing warrior robes, they were all people of the martial world. Furthermore, Ru Zui had a long and thin plain blade hanging on his waist.

People with a good eye would not easily step forward.

"Young miss, isn't that Huo Feng?" Ru Zui said softly.

Bing Lanyue turned her head to look at the direction that Ru Zui was pointing. It was indeed Huo Feng, Huo Feng was riding on a big horse, with a stern expression on her face, she was leading a group of people not far from Bing Lanyue.

Beside Huo Feng, there was an exceptionally beautiful woman. The clothes of the woman was snow-white, and the gold and silver ornaments she wore didn't seem like those of the Great Ling Dynasty s.

"It's her." Bing Lanyue looked down.

Ru Zui peeped at the group of people from the corner of her eyes, and only looked towards the group of people with their backs towards the two.

"Let's go into the city." Bing Lanyue instantly made her decision.

Bing Lanyue and Ru Zui once again mounted their horses, and started to walk towards the South Sea City s in the distance. Because they had hurried too much, the horses beneath them were not very fast.

So Huo Feng's group had entered the city, and they were around one or two kilometers away from the southern gate of South Sea City.

The city guards only glanced at them once before letting them in without any further questions.

Bing Lanyue felt that it was strange, because on the way there, they had chosen not to enter the city because there were some cities that wanted to ask them where they had come from, which was precisely the reason why they did not enter the city.

She looked at Ru Zui, who also didn't understand why.

"Let's go!" Bing Lanyue immediately kicked the horse's stomach.

Ru Zui looked at the soldiers guarding the city warily, and followed along.

"Pu Dao, serial crossbow, it must be Longmen Escort Office. Sigh." One of the veterans sighed.

Beside him was a fresh recruit with a delicate face. He found it strange: "Big Bro, they are Longmen Escort Office. Why are you still sighing?"

The veteran said: "She looks pretty good, just that, she must be the subordinate of that female demon Huo Feng. Luckily you didn't stop her just now, otherwise, I would have easily whipped you on the spot."

"Why? "The Duke of Guo said that the ones guarding the city will be at the higher levels of the officials. Anyone can be searched if they wish to enter the city." The new recruit angrily glanced at the back of the two who were walking away.

"First of all, you have to be alive to investigate, and second of all, you have to have the guts to do so." The old soldier glared at the recruits. He looked at the two men walking away after a while.

Bing Lanyue and Ru Zui did not go very far into the city either, and stopped at an inn by the side of the road.

"Take care of my horse." Bing Lanyue passed the reins to the waiter.

"Alright, don't worry, it's definitely the best grass." The waiter brought the two horses and left with a smile on his face.

"Customer, are you going to be the best or are you going to stay in the inn?" The shopkeeper laughed and asked.

"Give us two rooms." Ru Zui stepped forward and answered.

"My apologies, my two guests. There is only one room left, but the environment is quite unique. Would you two like to take a look upstairs first?" The shopkeeper continued to smile like a flower.

"There's no need to look. Let's just go to that room. Fried a few vegetables for us. We can do anything, but we don't need any meat." Bing Lanyue spoke first.

Along the way, she ate all sorts of meat, including rabbit meat, deer meat, wild chicken meat, all sorts of meat, and barbecued meat. Although Ru Zui's culinary skills were not bad, but after eating all these, even the delicacies were all boring.

"Alright, this is the key. May I ask what sect or sect you two are from? What's your name? I'm here to register." The storekeeper opened his account book and picked up a brush.

"Cyanwood Mountain, Purple Dawn. This is my elder sister, Azure Clouds." Bing Lanyue made a fool of herself.

The storekeeper did not even bother to check the documents. After writing it down, he gestured: "Heroic ladies, please come in and serve the dishes immediately. What would you like to drink?"

"No need." Ru Zui waved her hand.

Bing Lanyue looked around and realised that those who were eating on the first floor were mostly the chivalrous heroes of the martial arts world. They didn't even spare her and Ru Zui a glance.

In the martial arts world, the Greenwood Sect only belonged to a third-rate sect. Bing Lanyue was not very clear about the martial arts world's sects, and up till now, she had only met the Golden Knife Sect, the Golden Spear Sect, and the Greenwood Sect.

It was a blessing in disguise for the two of them.

"Big sister, let's rest early in a while. We've traveled for so many days, we're finally here. Let's go meet …" "No rush." Bing Lanyue was in a great mood.

She had opened an inn before, so she naturally knew that the inn was the gathering place for gossip in the martial arts world. Thus, she did not say who she was going to look for.

"Alright, I'll listen to Eldest Miss." Ru Zui nodded.

The plates of vegetables were served. Bing Lanyue impatiently picked up the vegetables and stuffed them into her mouth, almost biting her tongue. Seeing how anxious the young miss was, Ru Zui revealed a satisfied smile.

The three people on the table next door whispered to each other.

"Have you heard? The big boss of Longmen Escort Office disappeared, but his Longmen Escort Office is still operating as usual. It's really strange." A rough voice sounded and everyone in the inn immediately pricked up their ears.

"What's there to not hear about? She went missing a while ago, and when my Golden Knife Sect went to find her to reason with her, she actually avoided us? His Royal Highness King Yi is even very angry." A disciple of the Golden Knife Sect opened his fan and slowly said.

Everyone fell into silence. The name Golden Knife Sect was indeed a bit big, and everyone knew what was going on inside, but Golden Knife Sect was different.

However, there were always one or two hotheads who stood up and said, "Hmph! Don't think that everyone is a fool, who doesn't know that because the Golden Knife Sect assassinated Bing Ling, all of the Longmen Escort Office s have been stripped of their Golden Knife Sect disciples! "

"You dare!" The man who was fanning himself stood up, put away his fan, pointed at the young man and said: "Do you want to be enemies with my Golden Knife Sect?"

"Humph!" A cold snort was heard as the wine in the hand of a lone knight sitting in the corner flew over and splashed on his face. After that, a throwing knife stabbed into his throat.

"So what if you have Golden Knife Sect? Is my Longmen Escort Office as unbearable as you think? If anyone dares to look down on my Longmen Escort Office again, there will only be one outcome for them: death! "
