Chapter 1406 - 1333: Arriving at the Arena
The Barbarian Demon Arena is located at the back mountain of the entire Dragon City.
This mountain was formed by dragon bones, stretching for hundreds of miles.
A range of nearly fifty miles has been excavated, and it took a whole decade to create an array, into which captured barbarians and evil people were thrown, causing them to fight amongst themselves.
Over nearly a thousand years since the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty, the number of barbarians and evil people here has become countless.
However, because the array is strong enough, the evil people and barbarians inside can only enter but cannot leave.
Meanwhile.
Three miles away from the Barbarian Demon Arena, there is a watchtower.
This watchtower can observe most of the scenes inside the Barbarian Demon Arena.
Over time, three forces have gradually formed within this Barbarian Demon Arena.
It resembles a small world, with not only enemies from the Daqian Dynasty thrown inside, but also barbarians and evil people.
These three forces are intertwined, almost fighting daily, causing deaths and injuries, yet they share a common enemy, which is the Daqian Dynasty.
On the watchtower.
Qin Cangqiong stood with his hands behind his back.
The State Preceptor stood half a step behind Qin Cangqiong and placed a huge crystal stone in front of Qin Cangqiong.
The crystal stone was like a display screen, showing all the scenes inside the Barbarian Demon Arena.
Qin Cangqiong’s gaze fell on the crystal stone, looking at a giant over three meters tall, speaking lightly: "This barbarian seems to have been here for three hundred years, right?"
The State Preceptor quickly nodded: "Yes, this person’s name is Shaman, he used to be the leader of the barbarians, and is said to be incredibly strong, with a body hard as steel, making it difficult for even spiritual artifacts to leave a mark on him. When he was first captured, the former emperor showed mercy and did not execute him, but instead threw him into the Barbarian Demon Arena, hoping he would repent. However, unexpectedly, after staying there for so long, he not only showed no signs of repentance but also started gathering other barbarians, and now his cultivation seems to have improved further, so much so that no human clan cultivator below the Foundation Establishment Realm can kill him."
The State Preceptor’s eyes flashed with resentment: "We are protected by a strong array and can sleep peacefully, but this is like nursing a tiger, and if one day the array breaks, they will become the biggest threat to our Dragon City."
Qin Cangqiong glanced at the State Preceptor: "Why, isn’t this array always maintained by you? Is there a problem?"
The State Preceptor quickly bowed his head: "Your Majesty, currently the array has no issues, but no matter how strong an array is, problems can arise over time, so I’m just concerned."
Qin Cangqiong snorted coldly: "State Preceptor, as long as the array is not destroyed, those evil barbarians cannot come out, so we naturally have nothing to fear. Moreover, through this Barbarian Demon Arena, we can better understand the evil people and barbarians, so when we face them in the future, we won’t be left helpless!"
Qin Cangqiong paused for a moment: "Isn’t Ye Guichen arriving soon?"
The State Preceptor answered: "Yes, he should be here soon."
"Your Majesty, sending Ye Guichen inside, while he may have the ability to kill a Golden Bell, he’s still too young. Since you value him, why let him go to his death?"
Qin Cangqiong frowned: "So, you think Ye Guichen will die in there?"
The State Preceptor hesitated: "We haven’t sent anyone into the Barbarian Demon Arena for a long time, so we’re unsure of the exact strength of the people, evil beings, and barbarians inside. And even just that Shaman is likely formidable enough; even if Ye Guichen is very capable, lasting an hour in there would not be easy."
Qin Cangqiong’s eyes were deep: "State Preceptor, this Ye Guichen is the most talented person I’ve seen in years, with a temperament extremely compatible with Muge. If he can survive a day inside the Barbarian Demon Arena, only then will I rest assured to let him get close to Qin Muge."
The State Preceptor seemed to understand Qin Cangqiong’s intentions: "Your Majesty, your foresight is indeed admirable. If Ye Guichen can’t last a single day, we can claim his act of killing the Golden Bell was a grave crime, serving as his punishment and a justification to the Heavenly Patrol, correct?"
Qin Cangqiong said no more, but continued to gaze at the crystal stone, lost in thought.
Not long after, the State Preceptor arrived at the entrance of the Barbarian Demon Arena with Ye Guichen.
Since a strong array surrounds it, apart from this entrance and exit, leaving from other places would require brute force to break the array.
However, if the array is triggered, the people in Dragon City will become alert.
Therefore, as long as the array is stable and no one from outside opens the entrance, no one can enter or exit.
"State Preceptor, why let Brother Ye enter this Barbarian Demon Arena?" Qin Muge had briefly explained the Barbarian Demon Arena to Ye Guichen on the way.
According to Qin Muge, entering meant a one in ten chance of survival.
Ye Guichen became interested after hearing Qin Muge’s explanation.
He hadn’t expected such a place to exist in Dragon City.
Though he had encountered evil people before, he had never dealt with barbarians.
From Qin Muge’s words, barbarians were generally large, with some reaching up to three meters tall, and their skin was extremely rough, comparable to beast hide.
Their favorite weapon was the Wolf Fang Club, and a powerful barbarian’s swing of it could probably cut a house in half.
Ye Guichen recalled those Body Refining Masters after hearing Qin Muge’s explanation about the barbarians.
These Body Refining Masters, like Cross Training Experts, had bodies as strong as beasts and could use some human clan cultivation techniques to defeat and kill enemies.
Moreover, the number of barbarians seemed to be generally low, with the entire Barbarian Tribe barely reaching ten thousand in population, but their appetite was tremendous.
It was said that a three-month-old barbarian baby could eat a whole cow in one meal.
When barbarians attacked Dragon City’s gates back then, they merely wanted to occupy the entire Daqian Dynasty to fill their stomachs.
In the Barbarian Demon Arena, reportedly there are over thirty barbarians trapped.
However, over the years, these barbarians, evil people, and human clan cultivators have battled, resulting in some casualties.
Before the State Preceptor could respond, Ye Guichen smiled: "So, how long does His Majesty intend for me to stay inside?"
The State Preceptor then said: "One day and one night; if Mr. Ye can last a day and night inside, you will be conferred the title of King upon your return."
"Great!" Ye Guichen wasn’t particularly interested in being a king of the Daqian Dynasty.
Since he intended to go to the Holy Temple and even to the Chaos Sea in the future, he needed to understand the barbarians.
Moreover, Ye Guichen had a daring thought.
If he could subdue the Barbarian Tribe, wouldn’t that grant him great support?
