Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2688: Chapter 2691: How Familiar Are You?

Canglan City’s central region, Canghai Street.

This place is occupied by the Canghai Trade Alliance.

Canghai Tavern, Canghai Auction House, Canghai Treasure Pavilion, and so on are all here. Besides the establishments starting with Canghai, there are all sorts of guilds with shops on this street.

The entire street belongs to the Canghai Trade Alliance.

”Has the Canghai Trade Alliance just taken over an entire street?”

Walking along Canghai Street, Jiang Chen asked Cheng Huang’er in surprise.

”Each of the four major powers has a street in this central area. The four streets intersect to form a cross, with the imperial city in the middle.”

Cheng Huang’er softly introduced.

Throughout the journey, Cheng Huang’er introduced Canglan City as they walked.

The White Jade Bridge where they entered the city belongs to the Southern Region. Once they passed through the Great Formation, they arrived at a vast square. On the square were more than a hundred huge arenas, known as the renowned Hundred Arena Square of Canglan City.

The Hundred Arena Square is famous not because of its hundred arenas, but because these arenas are top-tier Dao Instruments!

Top-tier Dao Instruments are rarely seen even among top-tier powers like the Six Great Academies. Just one top-tier Dao Instrument is enough for a first-rate power to fight over till annihilation.

Dao Instruments are the most suitable weapons for Saints and Saint Monarch Strong Ones. Even those with Supreme powers use top-tier Dao Instruments.

Yet here, over a hundred top-tier Dao Instruments just sit there as arenas.

If there were a hundred top-tier Dao Instruments elsewhere, even at the headquarters of the four major powers, someone would covet them. But here, they are just placed there, and no one dares to entertain any crooked ideas!

The final competitions of the Canglan Continent take place here at the Hundred Arena Square, ranging from Divine Infant Realm to Semi-Saint, with contests for various realms.

After the Hundred Arena competition is the garrison area. The Southern Region only has these two areas: the Hundred Arena Square and the garrison area.

The Eastern Region of Canglan City is primarily the trade and entertainment area. The whole Eastern Region is dotted with shops opened by people from various races. You can often find good stuff here, and there’s no need to worry about anyone forcibly taking it or skipping the bill. Of course, a certain tax needs to be paid. The residents here are mostly from various races.

The Western Region of Canglan City houses various Royal Mansions and Marquis Mansions. Some of these mansions belong to the descendants of heroes who originally opened territories; others belong to people who have made great contributions over the past hundred thousand years.

Generally speaking, most of the people who have been granted titles as kings or marquises in the past hundred thousand years have earned their merits on the Extraterritorial Battlefield.

To the north of Canglan City stands an academy, Canglan Academy, one of the Six Great Academies, personally established by the Canglan Great Emperor.

The Central Region is divided by streets occupied by the four major powers, which houses the imperial city. Around the imperial city, there is also a moat that isolates the entire imperial city.

In the entirety of Canglan City, apart from the imperial city and the Southern Region, there are shops and taverns in other places. It’s just that the Eastern Region is more concentrated with these, as Canglan City is so vast that not everyone is willing to run dozens or hundreds of miles just to buy something.

Moreover, air travel within Canglan City is prohibited. Besides patrolling soldiers and some special individuals, only ordinary cultivators can take to the air near the Hundred Arena Square.

In Canglan City, anything below top-tier powers can be considered as ordinary cultivators.

Cheng Huang’er led Jiang Chen and others, walking for two hours before reaching Canghai Street.

”Jiang Chen, due to some recent special circumstances plus my eldest sister undergoing her tribulation, the imperial city is now under martial law, and outsiders cannot enter. I have left rooms for you in the Eastern Region, Canghai Street, and Academy Street. Choose where you’d like to stay?”

The group stopped in front of a tavern, which had a signboard hanging that read ’Canghai Tavern.’

”Here is fine. I just have some business to attend with Pang Guang.”

Jiang Chen said with a light laugh.

”Alright, I’ll head back now. I’ll come to fetch you the morning after tomorrow.”

Cheng Huang’er nodded gently.

”Little Princess, there’s no need to trouble yourself. We’ll make our own way there when the time comes!”

Jiang Chen lightly waved his hand. It’s not right to treat a little princess as a guide.

”Not possible recently. All the bridges around the moat surrounding the imperial city are under martial law. You can only go as far as the moat bridge. At that time, I wouldn’t know which bridge you’d take, adding to the trouble. Just wait for me here.”

Cheng Huang’er shook her head, leaving a parting instruction before turning to leave.

Jiang Chen paused slightly, just about to call out, when Yuan Chong stepped forward beside him, laughing lightly, ”Brother Jiang, the room key is with me.”

As he spoke, Yuan Chong handed Jiang Chen several Array Talismans.

Jiang Chen paused briefly, looking up at the tavern, before reaching out to take the Array Talismans.

A large array per room? Quite extravagant!

”Thank you, Brother Yuan.”

Jiang Chen clasped his hands in gratitude.

”Brother Jiang, no need for courtesy. I’ll head back first, and the day after tomorrow, I’ll come with the little princess to fetch you.”

Yuan Chong said with a smile.

”Brother Yuan, don’t trouble the little princess. Perhaps brother Yuan could just come to pick me up?”

Jiang Chen suggested softly.

”It would be possible under normal circumstances, but right now, I can’t bring anyone in. The little princess has to come.”

Yuan Chong smiled wryly, whispering, ”Recently, things are relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside; you know what I mean!”

With that, without waiting for Jiang Chen’s response, Yuan Chong clasped his hands again and turned to leave.

”Relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside?”

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Could something have happened?

”That sister is so aloof!”

Lei Ling’er suddenly murmured.

”Hm? What’s wrong?”

Jiang Chen looked at Lei Ling’er in confusion.

”She hasn’t spoken to anyone else!”

Lei Ling’er pouted.

”Haha, she’s not aloof; she’s just not familiar with you lot. Even her master might not be as acquainted with her as I am.”

Jiang Chen chuckled, reaching out to pat Lei Ling’er on the head.

”Indeed, I’ve only met this girl a few times, and apart from exchanging greetings, I haven’t talked much with her.”

Hu Yiqiu replied with a smile.

”You’re familiar with my little sister? How familiar exactly?”

A cavalier voice suddenly interrupted.

Faces changed abruptly among the group, swiftly turning to look, even Jin Ang appeared astonished.

A person had suddenly appeared beside them, yet none of them had detected it!

”How should I address you?”

Jiang Chen glanced at Jin Ang’s expression, a shiver running through him, and respectfully clasped his hands towards the suddenly appearing white-robed youth.

”Don’t be nervous; just call me Hao Shao.”

The youth chuckled, eyeing the group and casually clasping his hands in return.

No one dared to be neglectful, quickly returning the salute.

”Hao Shao, are you asking about how I came to know the little princess?”

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

”Yes, my little sister usually either ignores people with a stern face or admonishes them sharply, never once have I seen her be so courteous to someone before. Introducing Canglan City to you—what’s going on here? You two... don’t have something going on, do you?”

Hao Shao winked, giving Jiang Chen a you-understand look.
