Under their gaze, a petite and graceful girl strolled over.
Her skin was as white as snow, her black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her features were exquisite.
A radiant smile adorned her pretty face.
"It's her!" Upon seeing this girl, both Jiang Wang and Jiang Zheng's eyes lit up.
This girl was none other than the one who had treated Jiang Wang earlier.
"What do you want?" Upon seeing this girl, Jiang Wang frowned slightly, staring at her with a guarded expression.
Jiang Wang had already guessed that this girl's background was not simple.
Otherwise, with his father Jiang Zheng's personality, it was impossible for him to be so polite.
"You just said you were going to Sword Cliff in the Southern Ridge to seek revenge?" The girl strolled over, raised her head, blinked her bright eyes, and directly ignored Jiang Wang, asking.
"That's right!" Jiang Wang was very frank, he nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of arrogance.
"Then, how about we join forces?" The girl said.
"You'll help me?" Jiang Wang was taken aback.
"If you want revenge, I am willing to lend you a hand. Not only that, but your cultivation will also undergo a transformation."
"Haha, great! With Heng Bo here, the two of us joining forces will surely be able to suppress that beast!" Jiang Wang was overjoyed.
Since this girl dared to mention that young man, she was probably related to him.
"In that case, let's go now!" Jiang Wang said with a smile.
After that, Jiang Wang and Jiang Zheng left hand in hand.
As for Zi Feng, he followed behind them.
"Miss, why are you helping him?" Jiang Wang walked in front and asked.
"Because we are friends." The girl smiled playfully and said, "My name is Jiang Wan'er."
"Jiang Wan'er..." Jiang Wang murmured, then smiled, "Me too, my name is Jiang Wang, what's your name?" He admired this girl very much and was also very enthusiastic.
After all, this girl was a proud daughter of heaven!
"My name is Zi Feng!" The girl smiled sweetly.
"Zi Feng?" Jiang Wang was stunned, then said, "I heard people say that this young man is an orphan who grew up in the mountains. Could this really just be a coincidence?"
"I also grew up in the mountains, but my fate was just more difficult." Zi Feng smiled faintly.
"You also grew up in the mountains?" Jiang Wang's eyes lit up.
He knew that this young man was probably hiding his identity.
This made him even more interested.
"Do you have martial arts resources here?" Zi Feng asked.
"Yes, all kinds of treasures, martial arts techniques, spiritual weapons, and even pills and spiritual stones." Jiang Wang said.
"Martial arts resources?" Hearing this, Zi Feng's eyes flashed. He knew that his goal had finally been achieved.
"Where are the martial arts resources?" Zi Feng asked.
"This..." Jiang Wang hesitated.
"Young master, I advise you not to have any designs on the martial arts resources." The Jiang Wang beside him was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"Oh?" Seeing Jiang Wang's serious expression, Zi Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"These martial arts resources are extremely important. Each one is worth far more than ten thousand taels of gold, or even ten million taels of silver. Even if you get them, it will be difficult to keep them, and instead, you will bring about your own death." Jiang Wang said.
"Oh, so where are these martial arts resources?" Zi Feng said, narrowing his eyes.
"Within our mansion, there is a forbidden area. There are many martial arts resources there, but you don't belong to the Jiang family. Entering it rashly will probably bring disaster, so you should consider it carefully." Jiang Wang said in a deep voice, "After all, these martial arts resources are of no benefit to you."
"Thank you for the information, I have my own sense of propriety." Zi Feng cupped his fist and said, "We won't delay you any further, we'll take our leave."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing Zi Feng being so straightforward, Jiang Wang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Heng Bo, why did you let them go?"
"Hehe, I'm a little curious to see what kind of expression they'll have when they meet Bei Chen Xingyu." Jiang Wang grinned.
...
Zi Feng walked slowly, pondering.
"Elder Heng once said that Bei Chen Xingyu of the Bei Chen clan has an extraordinary talent and a powerful bloodline. Among his peers, he can be called a heaven-defying existence. If he grows up, he will definitely be a giant. At that time, the forces of the entire Northern Wilderness Region will have to tremble." Zi Feng sighed inwardly. He took a deep breath, feeling a little uneasy.
Although his bloodline was extraordinary, it was only slightly inferior to Bei Chen Xingyu's.
"No matter what, I can't fall behind. I must find those natural treasures as soon as possible to strengthen my strength. Otherwise, I will never be able to surpass Bei Chen Xingyu." Zi Feng clenched his fists.
In his opinion, Bei Chen Xingyu was too outstanding, completely crushing him. If he didn't work hard to catch up, he would never have a chance to catch up in the future.
...
Night fell, Jiang family mansion.
"In this Northern River Kingdom, there are several major academies, namely Cangyun Academy, Xuan Yue Academy, Lingxiao Academy, Jiuyou Academy, and the three holy lands of Tianhe Royal City. In addition, there are many ancient clans and some reclusive clans living here. However, among these people, there are several royal clans that are the strongest. They rule this city and have unparalleled foundations." Jiang Wang said.
"Below the princes and marquises is the imperial family. It is said that in the princely and marquis realm, only the imperial family has princes and marquises stationed there. These princes and marquises are all figures who have emerged from the hands of the emperors."
Chapter 1266: Dignitaries
"Below the princes and marquises are ordinary dignitaries."
"This Northern River Dynasty has a total of eight hundred and seventy-six cities."
"Each of the eight hundred and seventy-six cities is divided into dozens of prefectural cities."
"These prefectural cities are equivalent to a county, and below the prefectural cities are county towns."
...
Jiang Wang told Zi Feng everything about the Northern River Dynasty.
"This Northern River Dynasty is ruled by the imperial family, with eight hundred and seventy-six cities. Each prince and marquis controls nearly forty prefectural cities." Jiang Wang introduced.
"These princes and marquises are really domineering." Zi Feng revealed envy in his eyes.
"Not to mention the people below those princes and marquises." Jiang Wang shook his head.
"Yes, but the city lords below those prefectural cities can be transferred at will and have great privileges." Zi Feng said, "For example, if you want to buy a piece of land, or recruit a group of people, you need to go to these prefectural cities to conquer and obtain battle merits in order to exchange for what you want. Of course, there are also trading markets in the prefectural cities. There are many rare items there. If you are lucky enough, you might even encounter exotic flowers and fruits."
Jiang Wang smiled.
"Are the shops in those prefectural cities run by those big forces?" Zi Feng continued to ask.
"Of course." Jiang Wang smiled, "However, most of the shops in the prefectural cities are controlled by those top families."
"I remember that in the city lord's mansion, there is a chamber of commerce called Jubaozhai."
Jiang Wang led the way, and Zi Feng listened all the way. He seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness of the day.
...
The next day, early in the morning, just as dawn broke, Zi Feng arrived in front of this manor early.
Jiang Wang and others had also gotten up early.
"The Jiang family will also participate in tonight's auction. I invite you to participate, are you willing?" In front of the manor, Jiang Wang said to Zi Feng.
"Of course." Zi Feng smiled.
Last night, he had already decided to use Jiang Wang as a connection to find the martial arts resources left by his father.
This time, it's not just about the martial arts resources, he also wants to find out what those martial arts resources are used for.
"Let's go!" Jiang Wang smiled.
Then, Jiang Wang led Zi Feng towards the Jiang family's martial arts practice square.
Jiang Wang's speed was very fast. He carried a longbow on his back and wore a black robe, looking like a hunter.
"This guy, isn't he planning to sneak attack the warriors of the Beiming family?" Zi Feng looked surprised.
Whoosh!
Jiang Wang turned into a stream of light.
In the Jiang family square, there were thick stone pillars standing.
Between these stone pillars stood Jiang family young men and women.
"Welcome everyone to participate in the Jiang family's auction!" After Jiang Wang landed, he scanned the surroundings and said loudly.
Suddenly, the originally noisy square became silent.
Obviously, everyone understood that Jiang Wang was here to announce the start of the auction.
"First of all, on behalf of my Jiang family, I welcome you!" After Jiang Wang looked around at everyone, he said loudly, "Today, we will be auctioning the Jiang family's ancestral 'Frost Ice Divine Bow'."
Jiang Wang's voice was very deep and full of magnetism, which made everyone's spirits tense.
The Frost Ice Divine Bow was a spiritual weapon with infinite power.
In the past, one of Jiang's ancestors relied on this bow to traverse the Southern Ridge, beheading three enemy kings and princes in a row, shocking the heroes and laying the foundation for the Jiang family.
Because of it, the Jiang family gradually rose in this Northern River Dynasty and occupied a place.
"I wonder what the starting price for this auction is?" As soon as Jiang Wang's voice fell, discussions sounded below.
"It is said that this set of Frost Ice Arrow Technique was left behind by a powerful figure. If one succeeds in cultivating it, one can shoot and kill princes and marquises!"
"Shoot and kill princes and marquises?" These words moved many people.
"That's right, that senior killed a dynasty's prince and marquis with this bow back then."
"It is said that he was a prince of a great sect!" Many people clicked their tongues, feeling that this Jiang family's ancestor was too powerful.
One must know that the existence of the prince and marquis realm can be said to be standing at the peak of the Southern Ridge. Even the royal families of various countries find it difficult to kill such an existence!
"The starting price is 50,000 spiritual stones." In a burst of surprise, Jiang Wang said lightly.
