Chapter 4940 Mercenary City

"Puff!"

 Two heads shot up into the sky, and the body slowly fell down.

 "What is all this? Are all the robbers these days so unprofessional and unprofessional? How dare you just come out and rob?" Long Chen shook his head and threw away the broken sword in his hand.

 "You are the worst robbers I have ever seen in my life." Long Chen shook his head and continued to move forward slowly.

 They want strength but not power, they want means but not means, they want cooperation but not cooperation. This is purely a joke with their lives. Long Chen really doesn't understand what they are thinking.

 As soon as Long Chen stepped forward, a group of strong men in black clothes immediately appeared. However, under their black clothes, there were faint white hems.

 The funniest thing is that some of them didn't button up their clothes because they were dressed too hastily, and even the dragon logo leaked out.

 "What happened? Why did he die so quickly?" someone exclaimed.

 "It seems that we have encountered a serious problem. Clean it up quickly." A person who seemed to be their leader gave an order and quickly cleaned up the battlefield and disappeared quickly.

 Everything behind it can be seen clearly as long as Long Chen opens his consciousness, but Long Chen is too lazy to look.

 At first glance, this group of people seems to be the people living at the bottom of the Tianhuang Realm. They are not strong and have average talents. They work like knives to lick blood and live day by day.

 Their targets were random and not deliberately targeting Long Chen. Since they were not deliberately targeted, there was no need for Long Chen to take them to heart.

 However, after experiencing this "assassination", Long Chen couldn't help but feel emotional. No matter the level of strength, no matter which level of the practice world, the essence of practice is the same.

 The essence of this is "struggle", which is the same whether in the immortal world or the mortal world.

 Common people compete for food, rich businessmen compete for profits, bureaucrats compete for power, emperors compete for territory, and beauty. The higher you stand, the more things you fight for.

 People envy gods, but they don't know that the so-called gods in their eyes are more barbaric, greedy, cruel, and even live more painful lives.

 But this is the nature of the world. No one can live alone. Some people say that not fighting is the way to go.

 But if you don't fight, others will take everything away from you. Can you watch helplessly lose everything, including your life and lover, and remain indifferent?

 The answer is no, at least Long Chen can't, so he also wants to fight. His ambition is not big, he just wants to live with dignity and freedom.

 However, this simple wish, in this dirty world, is a luxury wish, a luxury wish that is almost impossible to realize.

 Long Chen continued to move forward. After a while, people began to fly past him. It was obvious that someone had assassinated him before, and someone over there temporarily blocked the road. This made Long Chen speechless for a while. He did such a thing. If this is done blatantly, what kind of chaos will the Long family become?

 The road quickly became smoother, and Long Chen did not encounter any obstacles again. As he went along, Long Chen heard someone muttering, saying that the road ahead was obviously ordinary, why should they be stopped.

 Long Chen immediately rolled his eyes. The sentimental guys were all so blatant, and there was no one left.

 Long Chen found that most of the people walking this road were shabbily dressed, and even the weapons on their bodies were broken. His clothes were plain and inconspicuous, but among this group of people, he The outfit actually has a light and luxurious feel.

 &nbssp;After half a day of walking, a city appeared in front. The city was not big, but it was not small either. The city had no walls, only a square moat. Without this moat, this place would not be able to afford it | "City "Two words.

 There are many buildings in the city, but they are uneven. In many places, the soil is exposed and grass grows everywhere, giving people a very desolate and decadent feeling.

 After inquiring, Long Chen found out that this was the mercenary city, not the location where the outer teleportation array was sent. The first city was still half a day away before we truly entered the Heavenly Desolate Territory. The ascetic monks here said It's called the Mercenary City, and the experts only call it the Mercenary Station.

 This mercenary city is a gathering place for poor casual cultivators. Here, the casual cultivators huddle together to keep warm, take on some tasks, earn some low fees, and barely maintain the consumption of their practice.

 Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. And once your realm falls, it will be even more difficult to improve it again.

 Therefore, no one dares to let his realm decline, otherwise, his lifelong cultivation will stop here.

 Seeing the busy crowd in front of him, their clothes were ragged, and their eyes were full of wariness about the whole world. When he saw a young man and woman, holding hands, walking past him, at that moment, Long Chen looked at their backs, dumbfounded. Stunned.

 He suddenly thought of the scene back in Fengming Empire. At that time, he was at a low point in his life, and no one in the world could help him.

 But at that time, a woman boldly expressed her love to him, entrusted her life to him, and was willing to live and die with him.

 "The dragon travels across the sea and travels thousands of miles, and the phoenix leaves the phoenix tree and accompanies Kyushu. Life and death will never give up on the bloody sea journey, and the dragon and phoenix will depend on each other until they grow old." Long Chen couldn't help but recite this poem that the two collaborated on.

 She was in her prime and he was young and frivolous. At that time, they did not know the cruelty of the world, but they bravely made a lifelong vow. Maybe it was a little naive, maybe a little stupid, but they dared to bravely express their truest thoughts. .

 "The dragon not only swam across the four seas, but also swam across nine days. The phoenix left the phoenix tree and was drifting helpless. This is all because of my inability. Are you okay now?" Long Chen thought of Chu Yao. At this time, this scene was endless. Longing for her came to his heart. He felt sorry for Chu Yao and all his confidante.

 At the same time, I also hate myself. The youngest dean in the history of Lingxiao Academy, who is usually known as invincible at the same level, cannot even realize such a simple wish as staying with the person he loves. He has failed so much.

 "Little brother, why are you crying? Are you okay?" At this time, a timid voice came, and a woman appeared in front of Long Chen. The couple who passed by him came back again.

 The woman carefully handed Long Chen a brocade handkerchief. The brocade handkerchief was worn out, but washed very clean.

 "If you don't mind..." the woman said.

 Only then did Long Chen realize that he had burst into tears at some point, and he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't take the woman's handkerchief, wiped his face with his hand, squeezed out a smile and said:

 "Thank you, my eyes suddenly felt a little bit... I'm not feeling well. It's okay. Thank you both."

 The man looked dark and honest, but he was actually a four-star destiny person. He had reached the sixth level of the God Realm and his strength seemed to be very good. He said with concern:

 "Little brother, are you encountering any difficulties? If you are, tell us. If we can help, we will help you."

 Long Chen shook his head and was about to say goodbye to them and leave. , suddenly a group of people from a distance rushed over quickly.
