Chapter 453 Arriving at Tianyuan
"What disaster happened to the Luo people?" Jiang Wen asked. "Now you are the only one left."
"..." Luo Ji was silent for a moment, with a sad look on her face. There was a bit of sadness in his eyes, and he sighed. "Our clan is just a weak clan. In front of those powerful people, we are just playthings."
She recounted what happened one by one and told Jiang Wen what happened to the Luo people.
The demise of the Luo people was not a natural disaster, nor was it a scourge caused by aliens, it was actually a man-made disaster. Because of the treasure that brought the dead back to life, the Luo people were leaked by despicable people in the clan. When the big clans around the Luo people heard about this, they asked the Luo people for a secret treasure.
But how can the secret treasure be given so easily? The Luo people originally wanted to use the secret treasure to make some demands. Unexpectedly, those big clans united and bloodbathed the Luo clan, leaving only Luo Ji who escaped with the clan's sacred objects and secret treasures.
"I wanted to go to the Holy City and tell the Holy King about the crimes of the big clans. But my whereabouts were known to them, and they sent warriors from the tribe to hunt me down. I had no choice but to escape into this forbidden area. With the help of Holy object, I survived in the forest." After Luo Ji finished speaking, there were tears in the corners of her eyes. "If it weren't for this secret treasure, maybe our clan wouldn't have been massacred. It's all because of this secret treasure."
Jiang Wen was filled with emotion when he heard what happened to the Luo people. The Luo people are like lamp-lighting monks who possess a peerless magic weapon, walking among wolves and hungry tigers with the treasure in their hands. In this world where the weak eat the strong, sooner or later someone will be devoured in this situation. The only way to get out of this predicament is to continue to become stronger or to join a more powerful force.
"So you gave me the secret treasure with the intention of getting rid of this hot thing?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Yes, I just want the child to live healthily. He is already the last hope of the Luo people." Luo Ji stroked her belly and looked much more peaceful. As a mother, she could only try her best to protect her unborn child.
"How will you survive after going to the Holy City? From now on, you will be the only one, so what will you do?"
"Am I back again?" Jiang Wen thought to himself. "I don't know if those old friends are okay."
"There will always be a way." Luo Ji wiped away her tears and looked at Jiang Wen firmly and said. "Women of the Luo people will not give up easily. Women of the Luo people will only be strong in the face of suffering."
After countless years of construction and reconstruction, Tianyuan City is no longer what it used to be. Not only are the walls taller, but the buildings are also becoming denser and taller. It stretches all the way, and even the plain is full of people.
After crossing the mountains, an endless plain appears.
"Holy City! Great Holy City!" Luo Ji sobbed and knelt on the ground, worshiping Tianyuan City. This is the most exciting moment for countless pilgrims and the most sacred moment for countless tribes. Jiang Wen did not stop her behavior. He knew that for Luo Ji at this moment, this was the best way to vent her emotions.
"Then, is that the Holy City?" Luo Ji stared at the majestic city with wide eyes. She had never thought that there could be such a huge building in the world.
"You will be a great mother." Jiang Wen looked at the determined Luo Ji and praised him heartily. He has met many people and many women like Luo Ji. Jiang Wen always respected these people who always faced difficulties.
Far away from the plain, a mountain range like the Great Wall blocked the land. And between the mountains, there is a huge gorge. There is a magnificent city built at the mouth of the gorge, with countless colorful flags flying. That is the holy land of countless tribesmen, and the place that millions of tribes yearn for in the old land - the holy city of Tianyuan.
Jiang Wen took Luo Ji and landed on the ground, stepping on flat ground. He looked into the distance, Tianyuan City towered in his sight.
Crossing many mountains, familiar places become more and more familiar. Jiang Wen looked at the Buzhou Mountain towering into the sky in the distance, and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
He harnessed the long wind and soared through the sky and earth, taking Luo Ji to fly away into the distance. The clouds in the sky scattered behind them, leaving long traces.
After Luo Ji finished all this, Jiang Wen helped her up. Walking along the wide road towards Tianyuan City, there is an endless stream of merchants and travelers on the road.
Tribal merchants who came from all over the world brought their most precious treasures with them, trying to exchange them for something more valuable in Tianyuan City.
There are also pilgrims who want to see the face of the holy king. Everyone rushed to Tianyuan City with different thoughts.
Jiang Wen took out a piece of paper from the storage bag and folded it into a white crane. Under Luo Ji's curious eyes, Jiang Wen blew on Origami. I saw the origami growing in the wind and turning into something as huge as a cow or horse.
The paper crane flaps its wings and floats in mid-air. Jiang Wen asked Luo Ji to sit on it, and then ordered the two of them to fly towards Tianyuan City on the paper crane's back.
"It's amazing." Luo Ji stroked the paper crane. She never thought that a piece of paper could turn into something like this. You can also carry people on your back.
"This is called origami, it's just a little magic." Jiang Wen replied with a smile.
"Can I learn to fold paper into objects?" Luo Ji asked.
"You are not a monk, and you are helpless. You cannot learn such spells." Jiang Wen regretfully told Luo Ji that she was not talented enough to learn such spells.
Luo Ji knew that she could not succeed in learning, and looked a little disappointed. But she quickly adjusted and looked at Jiang Wen with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you can't learn. My child may be able to learn in the future."
"Then, I wish you the best." Jiang Wen said with a smile.
The paper crane flew along the road towards Tianyuan City, attracting the attention of many people on the road. After all, the world has never seen such a strange mount.
When they arrived at the door, Zhihe put the two of them down. Jiang Wen stretched out his hand and saw the paper crane shrink quickly and then fall into his palm. After flicking the dust off the paper crane, Jiang Wen put it back into the storage bag. Looking at the gate of Tianyuan City again, it is an extremely majestic and tall gate.
"Holy City..." Luo Ji looked up at Tianyuan City. The shock to her from the Holy City was extremely strong. When the tallest building of the Luo people was only a giant cauldron a few feet wide, Tianyuan City was already thousands of feet tall.
It is like an ant looking up at the Great Wall, or a moth looking at Kunpeng.
She couldn't express her emotions in words and could only hold her hands tightly.
Jiang Wen on the side didn't care, after all, he was used to seeing towering buildings. It's just that there seems to be a certain aura permeating Tianyuan City, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
"Is something going to happen in Tianyuan City? Why do I feel uneasy?" Jiang Wen calmed down and sighed softly.
Then he took Luo Ji into Tianyuan City and walked in from the city gate.
As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by two soldiers guarding the city. They asked Jiang Wen and Luo Ji about their origins and let them in after checking the sacred objects of the Luo people.
Standing in front of the moat in the city, Jiang Wen saw heads hanging on the giant trees on both sides, as well as wrapped corpses hanging on the trees.
"Tianyuan City, has something really happened?" Jiang Wen looked at the corpses and heads and muttered to himself.
