Hoo!
Above the boundless horizon, Qin Chen rode the Iron Feather Eagle, swiftly moving forward.
On both sides, white clouds floated by, and the wind howled.
The massive body of the Iron Feather Eagle soared through the air, unleashing a Heaven Level pressure that deterred most flying beasts from approaching.
Heaven Level blood beasts, in places like the five nations of the northwest, were already considered extremely terrifying.
Above them, although there were Mystic Level blood beasts, their numbers were often very few.
As for the sect level blood beasts, it was said that apart from the Demon Ancestor Mountain Range, the majority of the mountains in the northwest five nations could not harbor them.
Looking down at the endless wilderness below, Qin Chen sat cross-legged on the back of the Iron Feather Eagle, observing his surroundings while absorbing the genuine Qi of heaven and earth.
The flight altitude of the Iron Feather Eagle was several thousand meters, making it one of the fastest flying beasts among the avian blood beasts. This was also the reason Qin Chen chose it.
If he had ridden another Heaven Level blood beast, although its deterrent power would still be there, it would still be disturbed by many other flying blood beasts. After a while, it would inevitably encounter danger.
The great river below was the Canglang River; beyond it lay the Xuan Zhong Mountain Range, and the Wu City was on the plains outside the mountain range. He should be able to reach it in half a day's time.
Taking out a map and marking a point, Qin Chen revealed a satisfied smile.
Starting from the Falling Sun Mountain Range, it had only taken two days to approach Wu City. If riding a horse, it would have taken him at least two to three months.
This was the importance of flying avian blood beasts.
While flying, Qin Chen contemplated how to open the situation in Wu City.
From the intelligence he had received, Wu City was a rather chaotic city.
After all, this place did not belong to any power of the five nations; many strong individuals from the northwest five nations congregated here, and even some wanted criminals from various countries were hiding in Wu City. Although it wasn’t lawless, various forms of chaos were abundant.
The purpose of Qin Chen’s journey was to find something, and under such circumstances, directly contacting a major power in Wu City was often the easiest way.
However, the problem was that Qin Chen knew nothing about the forces in Wu City, and finding a breakthrough was not so easy.
“First, I'll enter Wu City and figure out a way to gain a general understanding of the forces there, and then I’ll seek the treasures.”
Having sorted out his thoughts, Qin Chen could only settle on this approach for now.
As he pondered, the Iron Feather Eagle had already soared past the Canglang River and arrived above the Xuan Zhong Mountain Range.
The entire mountain range stretched for thousands of kilometers, and the rocks above seemed to contain some heavy metal substance. From above, the mountains appeared completely black, giving off a heavy feeling.
Perhaps this was the origin of the name Xuan Zhong Mountain Range.
The mountains undulated, like a massive boulder embedded in the vast earth.
Half a day later, Qin Chen reached the edge of the other side of the Xuan Zhong Mountain Range. An ancient city stood just outside the mountain range on the plains, weathered and ancient.
“Is this Wu City?”
It was said that Wu City had a history of several hundred years, even longer than the lifespans of many kingdoms in the northwest. From afar, it indeed had an ancient feel to it.
In terms of scale, Wu City was comparable to the royal capital of the Daqi Kingdom and was even slightly larger, as it was the largest trading center in the northwest five nations.
“First, I’ll leave the Iron Feather Eagle here on the outskirts of the Xuan Zhong Mountain Range and then enter Wu City.”
Wu City was the trading center of the northwest five nations, involving the interests of various countries, where conflicts and disputes erupted endlessly.
