On the ship's railing, there was a wave of excitement.
Many people from the Qing Xue family were incredibly thrilled. They had drifted in the outside world for many years, and now returning to Nan Dou City felt like truly coming back to the Southern Heavenly Realm. Although Nan Dou City was still quite far from the Qing Xue family, at least they had reached the Southern Heavenly Realm, and many felt a mix of joy and nostalgia.
Nan Dou City was an immensely large city, stretching endlessly into the void; it was even more vast than Dong Guang City.
Among the four major Heavenly Realms, the Southern Heavenly Realm was the most prosperous and rich in heavenly saintly energy, hence it was extraordinarily lively.
Standing on the ship's railing, Nan Dou City looked like a bright pearl embedded at the border of the Southern Heavenly Realm. This was the place that one must pass through to enter the Southern Heavenly Realm. Qin Chen looked around and saw countless prohibitions surging outside the Southern Heavenly Realm. Due to the situation in the Void Sea, various places in the Southern Heavenly Realm had been sealed off, and entry was strictly regulated through several major ports.
Aside from the Qing Xue family's warship, there were currently thousands of warships at Nan Dou City's port, all exceptionally grand. The various warships varied in levels, and the Southern Heavenly Realm was extremely prosperous, rich in resources, and frequently traded with the other major Heavenly Realms, even engaging in trade with other races. Thus, this was the most bustling place among the four major Heavenly Realms.
However, among these warships, there were small, medium, and large vessels. Of course, even the largest warships could only be comparable to the Qing Xue family's warship, and there were very few of them.
"Begin to decelerate!"
In the Void Tide Sea, the resistance was minimal, and the friction was low. Once they reached the Southern Heavenly Realm, the resistance increased significantly. If they did not decelerate, the Qing Xue family's warship would crash a big hole into the Southern Heavenly Realm's port.
The Qing Xue family's warship slowly approached the port of Nan Dou City and gradually came to a halt. In fact, the Qing Xue family's warship could fly not only in the Void Tide Sea but also within the Southern Heavenly Realm. However, Nan Dou City had strict rules; no warship was allowed to directly fly over Nan Dou City.
That was just during ordinary times. In this critical moment, even the Qing Xue family's warship could not directly rush into Nan Dou City.
Qing Xue Si Lan introduced to Qin Chen, "Nan Dou City is the most prosperous border city in our Southern Heavenly Realm. Many top forces of the Southern Heavenly Realm have stationed here, and our Qing Xue family has a presence as well. No matter which force from the outside world wants to do business in the Southern Heavenly Realm, Nan Dou City is the best place to do so because it is the most prosperous."
"Master, look at these warships; they are all here to do business in Nan Dou City. More than half of them come from other Heavenly Realms and forces, something you wouldn’t see in other Heavenly Realms."
Through the hull of the warship, Qin Chen's soul force radiated out, and he could see countless warships indeed looked different, coming from various races. The port was bustling with people, and even to dock, one needed to queue up.
Qing Xue Si Lan smiled and said, "Because there are many warships, smoothly entering the port requires one ship after another, waiting. It generally wastes a lot of time; however, our Qing Xue family doesn’t need to."
As Qing Xue Si Lan spoke, their warship had already passed many other ships, heading directly towards the largest port.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a shout came from afar, and boom, Qin Chen and the others turned to look, immediately seeing a warship in the distance swiftly turning around, trying to escape. At this moment, outside the warship, a group of heavily armored, formidable experts surrounded it. These individuals exuded a terrifying aura, and among them, several had traces of fate power surging.
