Chapter 1337: Chapter 1331
After sending off the Xuan Bird, Mu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In his view, Xin Lin was relying on the Xuan Bird to act recklessly and fearlessly.
Now without the Xuan Bird, she should restrain herself a bit more.
"Remember, once you enter the East Court, don’t cause trouble. If anything happens, just come directly to me."
Mu Chen warned.
Xin Lin agreed verbally, but inwardly she couldn’t care less.
Mu Chen was typically one to give in to pressure. If anything were to happen, by the time he arrived, even Murong Ziyue’s body would have turned cold.
As they spoke, the group moved through the city and soon arrived in front of an inner city.
Only then did Xin Lin realize that Fengdong was a unique city with a city within a city.
Its scale was much larger compared to Purple Cloud City. Xin Lin estimated it to be about the size of five Purple Cloud Cities.
On the outer perimeter was the so-called Outer City, where Fengdong’s citizens lived. The people here were not much different from the citizens of Purple Cloud City.
As for the middle perimeter, which was Fengdong’s West Court, it housed Fengdong’s vassals, some low-ranking blood relatives, servants, and places where Corpse Soldiers were raised.
As for the inner perimeter, it was Fengdong’s essence, known as the East Court.
This is where Fengdong’s direct line and higher-ranking relatives of Fengdong lived.
From the outer to the middle and then to the inner perimeter, Xin Lin witnessed distinct scenes of the city.
The outer perimeter was still lively and like an ordinary city, but in the middle perimeter, the houses and shops disappeared.
In broad daylight, it remained shrouded in gloom, as if covered by a layer of smog that never dispersed.
The middle perimeter was composed of several main streets and gallery bridges, which gave an eerie feeling upon entering.
Ghost Energy, even in broad daylight, Xin Lin could feel the Ghost Energy.
"It looks like you’ve sensed that there are some Corpse Soldiers around here."
Mu Chen pointed to those around, clad in guard armor, without any human aura.
Upon closer inspection, Xin Lin discovered that they were all refined from corpses.
Their exposed skin had long been weathered, with shriveled, bloodless hands and cloudy eyes. They stood rigidly, patrolling around.
"These are the lowest grade Corpse Soldiers. There are about thirty thousand of them in the city. Though low-grade, they are excellent defensive tools. With them around, even a hundred thousand Human Clan soldiers would be unable to breach. They fear no blade and won’t retreat as deserters."
Mu Chen introduced the Corpse Soldiers with pride.
These Corpse Soldiers were valuable assets accumulated over the years in Fengdong.
The Ghost Masters of Fengdong refined these corpses into Corpse Soldiers.
"Sounds impressive, but it’s a pity they fear fire."
Xin Lin shrugged.
As soon as she spoke, Murong Ziyue and Mu Chen were both startled, especially Mu Chen.
He quickly glanced at Murong Ziyue, thinking Murong Ziyue had revealed the weakness of the Corpse Soldiers to Xin Lin.
The weakness of the Corpse Soldiers was a major vulnerability of Fengdong and shouldn’t be easily disclosed.
"How do you know they fear fire?"
The seemingly indestructible Corpse Soldiers have only one weakness: they fear fire.
Especially Spiritual Fire, once encountered, they would turn to ashes.
"What’s so difficult about that? Your middle perimeter has set up numerous fire prevention facilities."
Xin Lin smirked, pointing to a pile of sand and several wooden barrels, noticing a water well every half a mile or so.
Mu Chen was speechless, lightly coughing a few times, realizing he had wrongly blamed Murong Ziyue.
At the same time, Mu Chen was also surprised by Xin Lin’s observational skills.
