Chapter 164: Scorched Earth Region

Before leaving, Lu Fang also went to see his Third Senior Brother Wang Fu, instructing this senior brother to take care of Lord Wenguan's Mansion during the time he was away.

After arranging everything, he officially arrived near the Qintian Institute of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace with the ceremonial team.

After all, as a special envoy of the Great Zhou, there were quite a few ceremonial and accompanying protection personnel. A preliminary estimate showed that there were more than three hundred people in total.

Lu Fang wore court dress and entered an ancient teleportation array with this ceremonial team. This was the largest array he had seen so far.

They basically existed only at the borders and special places.

The Great Zhou Imperial Family still valued the Luo Sha Kingdom very much, so they specifically set up such a teleportation array in the Imperial Palace.

The teleportation array was activated.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Fang appeared on a piece of scorched earth. In the distance, the sky was as red as sunset clouds. This was not normal sunset clouds, but the sky itself was so red that it reflected the earth as if it had turned red.

This color made him subconsciously feel that the temperature here might be very hot, but unexpectedly, it was not very hot.

On the contrary, under the breeze, it gave people a cool feeling like blowing wind at the seaside.

Because the location of the Luo Sha Kingdom was relatively special, the teleportation array set up by the Great Zhou could only reach the scorched earth region at a distance from the Luo Sha Kingdom.

As long as you leave this place and walk for a distance, you can reach the Luo Sha Kingdom.

This place also had day and night, but because of the location, the night would last for a very long time throughout the year, while the day would be much shorter in comparison.

The daytime scenery was quite monotonous. Except for the sky having a special fiery red color, the daytime in other places was almost exactly the same.

The night was dazzling and shining.

In the night of the scorched earth region, the sky was like a mysterious curtain. One moment it might be full of stars, and the next moment it would turn into... a colorful aurora, which was the color the Literary Minister mentioned.

Even if you were lucky, you could see the existence of small worlds one by one. What shape they were and what color they were could be vaguely seen.

"What a magical place."

Lu Fang sat in the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and looked up at the sky, his eyes showing astonishment. He had thought about the specialness of this place, but found that he had still underestimated its beauty.

Except for shock, it was shock!

So beautiful!

A brilliance that simply didn't belong to this world.

"It changed again!"

While Lu Fang was sighing, in the blink of an eye, he found that the brilliant aurora in the sky had turned into a meteor shower night sky. The meteor shower was not like the previous life, breaking through the sky in an instant, but appeared in large patches, covering the entire night sky in the way of rain.

It was like fireworks blooming endlessly.

"What a magical place."

He sighed sincerely.

Just then, the team suddenly stopped. An armored general riding a black light beast came to the sedan chair. This black light beast did not exist in reality but was a mount condensed from Haoran Zhengqi.

Not very practical, but very majestic.

It was also a manifestation of very strong strength.

Lu Fang knew this armored general; his name was Yue You, a battle scholar beyond the Ninth Rank. This time, all the itineraries were also the responsibility of this Yue You.

Lu Fang didn't need to do anything; Yue You had already arranged everything. In the conversation between the two sides, he could clearly feel that this Yue You's intelligence was very powerful.

Don't look at Yue You as only forty years old. It is said that when he was resisting the barbarian tribes in the Northern Frontier before, he made many military achievements and became a General.

And after he left the Zhenbei Army and returned to Jingcheng, the Zhou Emperor specifically reserved this General position for him, which was a deep favor.

"What's wrong, General Yue, why did the team stop?"

Lu Fang asked suspiciously.

Because everyone who could become a member of the ceremonial team was a carefully selected existence, and there was nothing wrong with rushing on the road day and night for a few days.

He had talked to Yue You about the itinerary before, and they might rush on the road like this.

The team stopped so suddenly, which was obviously not right.

Yue You saw Lu Fang's worry and hurriedly comforted him, "Lord Wenguan doesn't need to worry. The scouts in front sent back a sound transmission talisman, saying that they found movement in the place ahead, so we are waiting for the scouts to explore further."

Lu Fang couldn't help but frown upon hearing this and hesitated, "Isn't there only the Luo Sha Kingdom in this place? Could it be that the Luo Sha Kingdom will pose a threat to us?"

He had heard the Literary Minister mention it before, because the location of this place was relatively special, so there was a certain danger.

However, when he asked at that time, the Literary Minister happened to change the topic, so he forgot to ask specifically.

Yue You smiled, "Lord Wenguan is overthinking. This place is very close to the Luo Sha Kingdom, and generally, no one dares to come and cause trouble, let alone see our Great Zhou flag. Even if there are really those with bad intentions, I guess they will run as far as they can."

"That is to say, there is indeed danger here. I am very curious about where these dangers come from?" Lu Fang asked further.

Yue You sighed, "This kind of scorched earth region is very large, much larger than imagined. The place expanding with the Luo Sha Kingdom as the center is extremely limited, coupled with some local history and customs."

"In this scorched earth region, there are many forces opposing the Luo Sha Kingdom. Of course, these forces are very small and very insignificant."

"Besides the forces, there are also some extremely evil existences. They are not recognized by the Luo Sha Kingdom and are wanted. They are very dangerous ghost cultivators and Luo Sha."

"Oh." Lu Fang raised his eyebrows slightly.

This was something he hadn't heard before. He didn't expect it to be so complicated here.

Yue You smiled, "It is said that in the depths of the scorched earth region, there are many mysterious places connected to various small upper realms. Such places are both dangerous and full of various opportunities."

"In this way, it also attracted a large number of exotic races to appear in the scorched earth region to find opportunities for breakthroughs."

"Undoubtedly, the places in the depths of the scorched earth region are full of unknown dangers, and there are also struggles between people."

"Those who can survive in the depths of the scorched earth region, whether they are exotic races or humans, are ruthless characters, and you should be vigilant when you meet them."

"However, we don't need to be afraid of this kind of formation. I guess those small forces dare not offend the Great Zhou. Even the Luo Sha Kingdom here will treat us with courtesy. As long as we don't go to the depths of the scorched earth region, we generally won't encounter any danger."

After listening to Yue You's explanation, Lu Fang had a general understanding of the Luo Sha Kingdom and the surrounding forces and terrain structure.

"General Yue, you said before that many exotic races will go to the depths of the scorched earth region. How did they get in? Isn't this a special place?" ===== CHAPTER 165 =====
