Chapter 2318: Chapter 2314: White Torrent

Western boundary, the end.

Three streams of light flashed across the horizon.

It was Xiao Yi, Xia Yiming, and Dongfang Wu.

Woosh... woosh...

Two figures suddenly rose swiftly from below, blocking the three.

Although intercepted, the trio showed no signs of surprise or change in expression.

These two were evidently Fang Family Martial Artists.

"Hmm? It’s Miss Wu?" The two Fang Family Martial Artists looked at Dongfang Wu with surprise.

"Why is Miss Wu alone? Where are the accompanying Purple Winged Army?"

"And who are these two?"

While asking, the two Fang Family Martial Artists bowed slightly in greeting.

"There was a bit of an incident," Dongfang Wu said softly, "As for these two..."

Dongfang Wu glanced at Xiao Yi, her gaze carrying a hint of inquiry.

Xiao Yi chuckled gently, saying, "I don’t mind."

Dongfang Wu nodded, saying, "These two are from the Ice Emperor Palace, just happened to meet on the road and saved my life."

"Ice Emperor Palace?" The two Fang Family Martial Artists looked surprised, then showed a completely perplexed expression.

"If Miss Wu wants to return to the Inner City, you can do so anytime."

"But for these two," they looked at Xiao Yi and Xia Yiming, frowning, "According to Fang Family rules, they must first be inspected before being allowed to pass..."

"Enough," Dongfang Wu interrupted, "We three will descend, you may withdraw, no need to interfere."

"Yes, Miss Wu," the two replied, once again bowed, then descended from high in the sky.

Up in the sky.

Xiao Yi glanced at Dongfang Wu, chuckling lightly, "After the command was given, the prohibition was enforced, and even if the Patrol Iron Guard had doubts, they no longer asked. Miss Dongfang Wu seems to hold considerable prestige in the Fang Family."

"Master Xiao Yi, you’ve seen too much," Dongfang Wu nodded slightly.

Immediately, Dongfang Wu looked apologetic, clasping her hands together, "Earlier, my Fang Family guards were quite rude."

"With Master Xiao Yi’s status, you can come and go freely in my Fang Family, without the need for inspection."

"However, within the Fang Family Inner City, there are indeed some Forbidden Lands that prohibit outsiders from approaching, so..."

Xiao Yi interrupted with a chuckle, "It’s fine, Miss Wu, don’t worry."

Dongfang Wu smiled gently, saying, "Master Xiao Yi misunderstood."

"My intention is that when Master Xiao Yi visits my Fang Family, my Fang Family should treat you with the utmost hospitality."

"I should find someone to greet Master Xiao Yi properly."

"Logically, I am the best choice, but I currently have urgent affairs and need to hurry back to the Inner City to report to my father."

"Therefore, can I ask Master Xiao Yi to wait here for a while? I will immediately send a Manager from the mansion to welcome you."

"Hmm, that’s fine," Xiao Yi nodded.

Dongfang Wu smiled brightly, "Master Xiao Yi, thank you for your understanding."

Saying this, Dongfang Wu took out a Token, saying, "This is my Token; Master Xiao Yi can use it to travel freely in this outer city, and no one will dare to offend you in the slightest."

Xiao Yi nodded, taking the Token.

Dongfang Wu clasped her hands together, lightly touched her wrist’s prohibition, and flew away through the air.

Woosh... woosh...

Xiao Yi and Xia Yiming leapt down.

Below was a large city, where patrol Iron Guards could be seen everywhere.

Xia Yiming said, "Dongfang Wu is quite considerate."

"She probably worries that after the Palace Master enters the Fang Family Inner City, some ignorant fellows might accidentally offend the Palace Master."

"With someone there to welcome, unnecessary misunderstandings can be avoided."

Xiao Yi glanced at Xia Yiming, helpless, "You haven’t finished speaking, have you?"

Xia Yiming gave a bitter smile, "The Palace Master indeed sees things clearly; Miss Dongfang Wu is likely more worried about the Palace Master’s notorious reputation."

"If there really were unnecessary misunderstandings, the one at a loss would never be the Palace Master."

Xiao Yi shrugged, observing the surroundings.

While flying at high altitude earlier, I had a rough look at the environment here.

The entire Fang Family is astoundingly large.

It’s divided into two parts, the outer city and the Inner City.

Currently, this place is the outer city.

Though called outer city, it’s actually another independent large city whose scope should be several times larger than typical large cities outside.

Only its location is outside the Inner City, hence called the outer city.

In front of the large city is an incredibly long, wide, high city wall, on which Iron Guards patrol back and forth.

Below the city wall are twelve giant gates.

Common Martial Artists who come here cannot control the air and must enter through these giant gates.

Within the large city, there are many Martial Artists but no typical families, mansions, etc.

Rather, it gathers all of the Fang Family’s Iron Guards.

As for the city’s architecture, it’s almost exclusively weapon armories, Elixir Medicine Rooms, seclusion rooms, and military rest quarters lined up neatly.

This large city is practically a massive city created for combat.

The patrols of Iron Guards are orderly, with such large numbers yet maintaining strict coordination.

These Iron Guards are definitely a rigorously disciplined Iron Army.

However, in Xiao Yi’s perception, the martial strength here isn’t considered particularly strong.

The Saint King Realm and Saint Emperor Realm are virtually the main Martial Artists here; beyond that are Martial Arts Great Power and Supreme Level.

The number of Supreme Level is around a hundred people.

As for those in the Saint Sovereign Realm, there are only a few, and these are already the strongest forces here.

"This should be the legendary White City," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

"Exactly," Xia Yiming replied, "White City is renowned throughout the Central Region, even comparable to the Eight Palaces, yet more mysterious as the legend suggests."

"White City is described as the place that cleanses evil from the world."

"The Iron Guards here also carry out missions outside, whether it’s quelling Beast Tides or hunting Evil Cultivators, as long as there’s darkness in the world, the White Iron Guards will pursue it tirelessly."

"Their purpose is quite similar to the Eight Palaces, except they are more fierce and more organized."

As he spoke, Xia Yiming pointed at the twelve giant gates, saying, "Whenever the Iron Guards from White City mobilize, they must pass through these twelve gates."

"Eastern Iron Guards are clad in white armor, so when they move in a grand manner, they resemble streams of white floods, with immense power."

"Ha," Xiao Yi laughed, "I have often heard of it before, but today is my first visit."

Xia Yiming replied, "Of course, this outer city, also known as White City, is merely considered as such by the world."

"In reality, its existence serves more to defend the Fang Family’s perimeter, preventing ordinary forces from visiting uninvited, given the Fang Family’s challenging position on the Demon Domain’s border."

"And this so-called white flood, these Iron Guards in white armor, are simply the Fang Family Iron Guards’ lowest-ranked yet most numerous type."

Xia Yiming continued, "However, naturally, this is unknown to almost ninety percent of forces above the Central Region."

"The white flood Iron Guards, in the eyes of many first and second-class forces above the Central Region, already represent extremely formidable military strength."
