Chapter 387: Wind Spirit Body

387. Chapter 387 Wind Spirit Body

"Occupied more than ten surrounding planets?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng felt a rush of heat.

As everyone knows, the Morning Star is a prison for the Yan Nation people living within it.

Only with a spaceship can one leave here.

"Jiang Lao Di, you wouldn't be hoping to use their power to get out of here, would you?"

Ding Lei saw through Jiang Cheng's thoughts at a glance.

The other three exchanged glances, all wearing bitter smiles.

Obviously, Jiang Cheng was neither the first to have this idea after hearing it, nor will he be the last.

"Little Brother Jiang, the Shadow Church people indeed have a way to leave here, and it's probably not by spaceship but via a teleportation device; otherwise, they couldn't escape the Jiao Tribe's eyes. However, one can tell they would never tell us this information, let alone that they deeply hate our Yan Nation." Liu Honghui said.

"Yes."

Tian Mao also chimed in: "You don't know, the Inner City District experiences many attacks each month; some are launched by the Rebel Army, but most are carried out by the Shadow Church, who only think of revenge and would never cooperate with us."

He Hong's face turned pale, and he just kept nodding.

Because she had witnessed it personally, the Shadow Church people carried out a massacre in the mall; if she hadn't run fast, she wouldn't be alive today.

"Then that's what I was thinking."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly said.

"It's fine, we've all been through this."

Ding Lei chuckled, "Actually, Jiang Lao Di, even if we could leave here by spaceship, it might not be as good as imagined."

"Indeed, leaving this planet is just the start; wanting to return to the ancestral star involves tens of thousands of light-years, and what could happen along the way is uncertain."

"Yes, the Jiao Tribe are hateful, but compared to other races, their treatment of us Yan Nation is already friendly; over the years, many Yan Nation people on various planets have been wiped out completely, which is still fortunate; the miserable ones have been abused, or had crystal implants implanted and become slaves, even enslaved until death, sigh."

The atmosphere in the private room also grew heavy unconsciously.

Jiang Cheng also understood that this couldn't be clarified in a moment, nor changed overnight.

Thus he shifted the topic and asked:

"Elder Brother Ding, you just mentioned there are three major families; which three, and does it include our Gu Family?"

"That one."

Ding Lei glanced at the others, "The Gu Family's strength is considerable, nearly first-rate, but compared to the three major families, there's still a gap."

"Correct," Liu Honghui took over, continuing: "The three major families are the Feng Family, the Zhong Family, and the Bai Family; the Feng Family members are the strongest because their ancestors possessed a special physique called Wind Spirit Body, giving them an innate affinity for wind element, and their cultivation progresses rapidly."

"To preserve bloodline purity, the Feng Family strictly forbids intermarriage with outsiders; even in our Dongfang City, let alone counting the other nine cities, such cases are rare." Tian Mao added.

Jiang Cheng nodded, also feeling a bit envious.

Because possessing such a spirit body means one is destined to become a Force Warrior from birth.

"What about the other two families?"

"Second strongest is the Bai Family; they are the city's sole arms manufacturer, producing various laser weapons and all kinds of mecha; part of their weapons go to the Jiao Tribe, the rest used to suppress the Rebel Army."

"Suppress the Rebel Army?"

"Yes, the Rebel Army hides in the deep mountains; to the Inner City District they pose little threat; decades ago that battle nearly annihilated their Supreme-level Strongmen; even if some remain, storming the city would be no different from walking into a trap; however, they still threaten some plains areas, such as the Bai Family's armory, some families' private estates, and granaries, especially granaries, which suffer Rebel Army raids every harvest season."

"To prevent this, over the years the nine major cities have dispatched troops to guard the mountain entrances, regularly sending personnel to sweep and strike the Rebel Army's manpower; at this time, the Bai Family's mecha naturally come into play, with some large mecha carrying laser cannons capable of killing Grandmasters in seconds."

Jiang Cheng heard this and silently thought the Rebel Army's situation is indeed dire.

However, the Bai Family's influence is indeed extraordinary.

No wonder Gu Zhangjun that kid could be so arrogant.

"What about the Zhong Family?"

"The Zhong Family is somewhat special; their members' strength is not particularly strong, but the family has a twenty-two-level armorer." Ding Lei said, then inhaled a cold breath.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's pupils contracted sharply.

Twenty-two level?

That would mean they could craft treasures usable by Force Supremes?

"A century ago, that Zhong Family elder was a renowned figure in this star region; just unknown why he didn't leave in time and ended up staying here."

"Because of him, the Zhong Family possesses several Seven-grade Treasures; if they really fought, even the previous two families combined plus a City Lord's Mansion wouldn't be a match."

"I've heard the Zhong Family also has an Eight-grade Treasure." He Hong whispered.

"I've heard that too; even if not, the Zhong Family is still a top-tier family in the Inner City District, though they've always kept a low profile, and in recent years there's hardly been any negative rumors about them."

Jiang Cheng nodded; the impression the Zhong Family gives is not bad.

"Jiang Lao Di, the top forces in the Inner City are these six; however, other forces shouldn't be underestimated, such as the Zhang Family; if the City Lord's Mansion is the king of Dongfang City's surface, then the Zhang Family is the king of the underground; just like the Dawn Society you once belonged to, Jiang Lao Di, is one of their forces." Ding Lei lowered his voice.

Jiang Cheng realized.

"Besides, there's also the Chen Family, which has several Seal-making Masters, even capable of producing seals approaching Seven-grade; these two families' strength is not inferior to our Gu Family, and there are also two martial halls with considerable strength."

"In short, the Inner City is like this; after staying long, you'll naturally know, and the situation in the other several cities' Inner Districts is largely similar to ours."

Ding Lei smiled, took a sip of water, and moistened his throat. (End of chapter)
