Chapter 800: Free Valley (2)

Three major powers had gathered at the Free Valley to reign over the territory.

The three forces each controlled their own city within the valley.

They were namely, Fu Guang City, Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian. When the Poison King had committed his crime, he had intended to escape to Fu Guang City, but was unfortunately captured halfway by bounty hunters. He was then sent straight to the Kingdom’s dungeons.

The fiercely vicious Blood Tribe governed Fu Guang City. This tribe numbered in the hundreds and was once ambushed by heavy troops sent by one of the nations. The survivors had fled to the Free Valley and took over Fu Guang City.

Compared to Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian, control over Fu Guang City was not as strict. Ji Fengyan decided on Fu Guang City after hearing its history.

After all…

She had enough of constraints. She had left the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon to live a carefree life. She would station herself at whichever place with the least number of regulations and and concentrate on her cultivation.

Fu Guang City was situated at the northeast part of the Free Valley. As Ji Fengyan and company approached the city on horse carriage, they could already see a sprawling city within the valley. It was a huge, ancient city enclosed by ash-white walls upon which tangled weeds grew. They erected eight towering statues right inside the four walls. The statues were so massive that one could see their gigantic heads rising above the walls.

“What are these?” Ji Fengyan gazed curiously at the giant heads. The statues looked extremely bizarre, neither man nor beast.

The Poison King was sitting with Linghe at the front of the carriage as he led the way. He chuckled when he heard Ji Fengyan’s query.

“Those are the giant soldier gods.”

“Giant soldier gods?” Ji Fengyan raised her brows.

The Poison King nodded. “In ancient times, the Free Valley was the homestead of a mysterious ancient tribe. This tribe was very secretive but rumored to be extremely powerful. To defend the Free Valley against their enemies, they erected these 20-plus meter tall giant soldier gods to be used in battle. The tribe has since vanished, but their soldier gods remained. Unfortunately, no one has been able to activate these statues, and they have become mere decorations. They are a kind of special attraction here at the Free Valley. Haha.”

There were quite a number of these giant soldier gods in the Free Valley. Apart from these eight within Fu Guang City, there were over a dozen scattered across the other areas in the valley. Nobody knew what material these soldiers had been made of—there was nary a scratch on them even after thousands of years. No weapon or sorcery could damage these hard statues in the slightest. Some people in the Free Valley had tried to chip off some material for studies and perhaps use it to create a new weapon. Unfortunately… no one had been able to accomplish that.

Ji Fengyan gave a slight nod. The horse carriages soon arrived at the main gates of Fu Guang City.

There were very few laws in Free Valley. Powerful fighting abilities were the most respected here. Whoever displayed the best combat skills held the upper hand.

Ji Fengyan and company attracted quite a bit of attention as their horse carriages entered Fu Guang City.

Most criminals who escaped to Free Valley came alone. The sight of Ji Fengyan and company parading into the city in a few horse carriages was a rare phenomenon indeed.

The structures in Fu Guang City were old and worn. The refugees here were all vicious criminals and had taken over the original buildings as homes. Very few would build a brand new house.
