C86 What Kind of Platform Is This?

Six hours later.

Zhan Tianming walked out of the Thousand Literature Pavilion with satisfaction.

After reading the book, he had learned many things, and even some history of the Nine Dragons Continent.

Now, Zhan Tianming finally knew that the Nine Dragons Continent was divided into nine continents.

Moreover, he was also enlightened about the existence of Beast Clan.

Also, there were even Devil Clan, Star Race, Bird Race, Ghosts, Sea Race, Spirit Race, and even Giant Clan.

In addition, there were also some major historical events recorded in the book.

For example, Sky Wind Country.

It was established more than three thousand years ago.

Five hundred years ago, Sky Wind Country was still one of the three strongest country in the entire Southern Region of Nine Dragons Continent. Unfortunately, a struggle to usurp power caused this country to collapse. In the end, the other two countries took advantage of the situation and swallowed it up in one swoop.

One of the remaining branches of the royal family survived after being protected by a mighty Martial Cultivator.

Lastly...

It had developed into a small, unranked country.

The current Sky Wind Country was only one of the weakest country in the Southern Region. From the map, it could be seen that beyond the borders of its territory, there were also several mid-ranked countries that were like wolves and tigers surrounding it.

What if one day Sky Wind Country was suddenly destroyed by another nation?

It won't be surprising at all.

But, maybe it's because of that great Martial Cultivator, the Sky Wind Country had already existed for five hundred years. Until now, although small wars often broke out on the territory, great ones had never happened.

In addition to that, what made Zhan Tianming even more interested in Sky Wind Country was the shocking history regarding it.

It was rumored that the emperor who founded the Sky Wind Country had once killed a Divine Dragon.

Then, he would use the Divine Dragon's blood to temper his body.

From then on, the power of the divine dragon's bloodline flowed in the vessels of Imperial Family of the Sky Wind Country.

It was a pity that there were almost no records of the Imperial Family of the Sky Wind Kingdom displaying their bloodline power, which made people doubt this point.

No matter what, this part of the historical record allowed Zhan Tianming to see the hope of exploring the mysteries of The Nine Dragons Continent.

At the same time, he was also looking forward to completing that ultimate quest.

"This is truly a wonderful world!"

Zhan Tianming was extremely excited.

Walking on the street, he suddenly felt something strange.

"Eh? Why there are so few people around here?"

Scratching his head, Zhan Tianming shook his head.

It was not dark yet, but there were barely any people on the street. It was truly strange.

After much difficulty, he finally saw a living person, and in the end, it turned out to be a beggar with a broken leg who was clueless about everything.

Feeling bad, Zhan Tianming threw a silver coin to the beggar, and then walked in the direction of the Duke Palace.

After walking for a long time.

Zhan Tianming finally understood what was going on.

'Shit!'

The streets near the County Duke's Palace had long since become crowded, and the clamorous sounds of people could be heard from a long distance.

If he climbed up to the rooftop, it would appear as an ocean of people.

"Ugh…"

Zhan Tianming stood on the roof and watched from the sidelines.

This scene was truly amazing.

Ka-cha…

Accidently, Zhan Tianming missed a step and broke a piece of the roof tile.

'Oh no. I will have to compensate them for the roof tile.'

The guilty Zhan Tianming turned his head and casually looked around, it seemed like no one had found out yet.

If he didn't leave now, then when?

'Run!'

Utilizing the Nine Dragons Step, Zhan Tianming slipped away in a flash.

After running for a distance, he stopped and looked back.

'Tsk, no one came to chase after me? Seriously, It's so boring.'

Shaking his head dejectedly, Zhan Tianming crossed the rows of roofs and finally arrived in front of the main entrance of the County Duke's Palace.

The entrance was huge and majestic, while there was not a single soul around here.

No one dared to surround the entrance of the County Duke's Palace. At most, they could only stand some distance away and watch from the sidelines.

In front of the entrance of the County Duke's Palace, a high platform had already been set up.

"What kind of platform is this?" Zhan Tianming was startled.

'Forget it, I'm too lazy to care.'

Whoosh!

Zhan Tianming jumped down from the rooftop and landed in the empty space.

Immediately, a dozen or so soldiers holding long spears surrounded him.

"Hua…"

He pointed his spear straight at Zhan Tianming.

"Who dares to come here and cause trouble?" The leader of the soldiers shouted.

This was Zhan Tianming's first time encountering such a terrifying lineup, and he could not help but feel his heart beating rapidly from fright.

'Wait a minute.'

'Why should I feel guilty?'

'Shit!'

'I am a guest of the palace, yet I actually feel guilty?'

'Isn't something seriously wrong?'

Zhan Tianming came to a realization very quickly. He was scared by this lineup, and probably because he had never experienced the world, and he was still lacking in exposure, otherwise, he would not be scared like this.

After coming to a realization, the confusion in Zhan Tianming's heart also disappeared.

"I'm a guest of the Palace." Zhan Tianming explained.

"Guest?"

The leading soldier looked at Zhan Tianming suspiciously, his eyes looking like he could see through any kind of false Divine Light.

Finally, the leading soldier snorted, "Guests will fly over the wall and appear here like a thief?"

"Humph! I think you're a thief."

"Take him down!"

As the leader of the soldiers bellowed, the dozen of the soldiers that were surrounding Zhan Tianming instantly lashed out at him.

"Oi, I'm really a guest of the Duke's Mansion." Zhan Tianming made his last effort.

If they didn't listen, then he could only fight it out.

In the distance.

"Look, what is that person doing?"

"He's probably a thief."

"Hehe, this is really interesting, a little thief actually dares to set his mind on the County Duke's Palace, he really wants to die."

"What kind of thief would appear so brazenly in broad daylight?"

"Maybe that thief is a fool?"

"Haha…"

"Eh, there's going to be a good show over there…"

Seeing the movements in front of the doors of the County Duke's Palace, all the people who were watching from afar became interested.

Just then, one of the servants guarding outside the Duke Palace recognized the surrounded Zhan Tianming and immediately ran over.

"Stop."

The servant called out the soldiers who were preparing to take action, then he looked towards the soldier leading the group and clarified, "This Young Master Zhan is indeed a guest of our Duke Palace, and he is also..."

"Humph!"

The leader coldly snorted, interrupting the servant's words.

At the end, he glanced at the servant, and said in a deep voice, "Who knows if you are all in it together? If this kid barges in and damage this high platform that our young master is preparing to use for fun, you won't even have enough heads to be chopped off. Get the hell out of my way!"

The leader pushed the servant away without even letting him speak.

After that, he turned around, looking straight at Zhan Tianming, and waved his hand.

"Seize him. If he dares to resist, kill him no matter what."

"Yes, sir!"

The other soldiers all held onto their spears tightly and continued to walk towards Zhan Tianming.

Zhan Tianming was annoyed.

'Didn't he just jump off the roof?'

'Was he guilty?'

'Shit! No wonder it was shown on television, the places where the officials lived were forbidden for ordinary citizens.'

'So, it is really like that.'

He had finally experienced it today.

At most, they could just fight.

Who's afraid of who?

Zhan Tianming was not afraid. On the contrary, his heart was surging with fighting spirit.

Martial Cultivator who did not fight was not fit to be one.

'Let's fight! What's there to be afraid of?'
