Chapter 136: The Power of Demon Cultivation
A white light flashed, and a monk wearing a gray-black warrior suit and carrying a knife on his back appeared in the teleportation array, but no one paid attention to him. One reason was that he was too ordinary, and the other was that ordinary rich monks would not do those fixed teleportation arrays.
In the True Spirit World, cultivators from major sects generally do not sit on those fixed teleportation arrays. They will use portable teleportation arrays. People who use fixed teleportation arrays are generally divided into two types. One is that during war, the general portable teleportation arrays are almost impossible to use. At that time, people from major sects will use fixed teleportation arrays in large quantities. The second is casual cultivators. The price of using fixed teleportation arrays is not very high, so some casual cultivators will use fixed teleportation arrays when there is something urgent.
Zhao Hai glanced at the city and looked no different from the ones owned by Badaomen. Zhao Hai didn't care, so he walked forward.
This is a city in the Demon Alliance. His current location should belong to the territory of the Divine Fire Sect. The Divine Fire Sect is a large sect in the Demon Alliance. This sect regards fire as a god. They are also famous for practicing fire-based techniques and are a very difficult sect.
Zhao Hai is now in the Fire City under the Divine Fire Sect. This Fire City is a big city under the Divine Fire Sect. There are many casual cultivators who are seeking life nearby, so Zhao Hai did not attract people's attention when he came here.
Zhao Hai first walked around the Flame City. The city was really big. What surprised Zhao Hai the most was that he actually saw several gangs here, and these gangs were all composed of casual cultivators, which was really incredible.
Zhao Hai also found a place to issue tasks in Lieyan City. He went there to see some, and usually some escort tasks, many casual cultivators were there to take on tasks.
Although Zhao Hai will take on some tasks this time, he will not take on some tasks casually in this situation, because Zhao Hai is very clear that in cities like this, there will generally be serious conflicts of interest in cities with many gangs. If he takes on some tasks casually, he may be targeted by those gangs. Although Zhao Hai is not afraid of trouble or those gangs, Zhao Hai does not like to have conflicts with those gangs now because he does not know the situation here and does not know who is standing behind those gangs.
Zhao Hai never underestimates those gangs. In such a big city, if a gang is created, their annual income alone is very attractive. If no one supports those gangs, it is impossible. No one will give up such a big profit, even those sects will not.
So Zhao Hai did not act immediately. He just sat in the mission hall and watched the people coming and going in the hall to follow the mission. After watching for more than an hour, Zhao Hai left.
Although he only stayed in the hall from time to time, he saw a lot of things. He found that the monks who took on tasks in the hall were divided into several batches, one of which was a group of casual cultivators. These people were all one person or a few people to take on tasks. The tasks they took on were also very easy small tasks, and the total number of people required for the task would not exceed ten people.
The second group was a group of monks with flame marks on their clothes. Although they were wearing various warrior uniforms, there was a red flame mark on the left chest of his clothes. The group was very domineering. As soon as they entered the hall, they immediately pointed to several tasks with high rewards, saying that they had decided, and no one dared to object. Behind those tasks, a flame mark was immediately hung, and no one dared to take on that task.
The third group was a group of monks who used axes. The weapons of this group of monks were all axes, and they also had an axe sign on their clothes. They seemed not very good at dealing with those monks with flame signs. When they saw each other, they would snort and turn their heads, and even sarcastically said a few times, and once started in the mission hall.
The fourth group of people is different. They are a group of monks wearing green clothes. This group of monks seems to be very low-key. They don’t carry any weapons on them, but all the people in the hall seem to be very harmful to this group of people. When they see them appear, they will avoid them from afar. Even those monks with flame marks and those with axe marks do not like to provoke them. Zhao Hai also smelled a smell of medicine from these people. If he guessed correctly, this group of people must be mainly playing with poison.
The fifth group of people is the most special. This group is the owner of the mission hall. They are wearing red samurai uniforms, and there is a sign hanging around each of them's waists. On this sign, there will be a flame-like sign, and the word "Divine Fire".
As soon as he saw these two words, Zhao Hai immediately understood their identity. These guys were all from the Shenhuo Sect. The Shenhuo Sect is the ruler of this area. Do these monks look so arrogant and no one dares to mess with them?
These five groups of people are the main body of this mission hall, and the merchants in the city are the people who are the masters in this hall to issue tasks. Although using the teleportation array is not a great thing for monks, it is not a trivial matter for those merchants who are not monks. If there are too many goods, the cost of using a teleportation array is enough for them to hire people to escort one trip, so many merchants still won’t use the teleportation array. They will come here to hire people to escort their goods.
After leaving any hall, Zhao Hai went to the restaurant again. The restaurant is usually the most informed place in the city. Many people like to chat while eating. Although you may not get any useful information during these chats, as long as you have careful screening, there will still be many useful things.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a meal in the restaurant, Zhao Hai found a small hotel with satisfaction and stayed in. Only then did Zhao Hai feel the biggest difference between this Flame City and the city under the rule of Badaomen.
In the cities under the rule of Badaomen, except for some special cities, the casual cultivators there will be effectively managed, and those casual cultivators will not walk around, so it is very strange for monks to stay in a hotel.
But it is different in the city of Flame. In the city of Flame, it seems very common for monks to stay in a hotel. Although the hotel owners are polite, they do not look at all afraid. It seems that they often encounter such things.
The store is not expensive. Zhao Hai has opened a room here for five days, and then goes out to the street every day, goes to the task hall to check it out, and then eats outside, and only returns to the hotel to rest in the evening.
The shop owners were not surprised by Zhao Hai's actions, as if they were not surprised, and Zhao Hai didn't care. In the past few days, he had roughly understood the situation in the city. The city was controlled by three major forces. There were more than a dozen small forces under these three major forces. Ordinary casual cultivators wanted to take on tasks in this city to connect with those major forces, otherwise they would be dealt with by those major forces.
When those merchants want to counter goods and go outside, they must go to the task hall to distribute tasks. They want to hire a few people at home and transport things. That is not possible. If someone dares to do that, they will be robbed of them when they go out, and people will be killed if they don’t do it well, so no one dares to do that.
When Zhao Hai heard this, he understood what was going on. This was a monopoly. The three major forces in the city monopolized the escort business. This item alone would bring them a lot of income every year.
These three major forces are the Liehuo Gang, the Giant Axe Gang and the Lingyao Hall. The Liehuo Gang is the largest force in the Liehuo City. They are very powerful, with nearly a thousand gangs. I heard that their gang leader is also a cultivator in the Bichen Period. Of course, this is not the reason for their strongness. I heard that the Liehuo Gang relies on the biggest reliance of their gang leader is the younger brother of their gang leader. The younger brother of their gang leader seems to be a disciple of the Shenhuo Sect. The leader of the Liehuo Gang established the Liehuo Gang with the support of his brother. It is precisely because of such a back that the Liehuo Gang is so powerful.
The situation of the Giant Axe Gang is similar to that of the Liehuo Gang. The leader of the Giant Axe Gang was also a cultivator in the Dust-Bichen Period. He heard that the leader of the Giant Axe Gang also has relatives in the Shenhuo Sect, so the Giant Axe Gang is not the Liehuo Gang. In order to compete for profit, the two gangs will have conflicts from time to time.
As for the third force, it is quite special. Although this spiritual medicine hall is called spiritual medicine, it is actually a group of guys who specialize in playing poison. These guys are the best at using poison. And I heard that they also have some backgrounds, but no one knows what background it is. Anyway, the Fire Gang and the Giant Axe Gang don’t provoke them much. Of course, they won’t provoke those two gangs. Among the three major forces, they are the most mysterious.
Because these three gangs are closely related to the Shenhuo Sect, it is difficult for other small forces to make a comeback. Those small forces rely on these three major forces to survive, and life may not be easier.
As for the branch of the Shenhuo Sect set up here, they basically don’t care about these things. The three major forces will send a large amount of supplies to the branch of the Shenhuo Sect every year. It can be said that these three major forces are actually the three evil dogs raised by the Shenhuo Sect, who specifically help them watch the Flame City.
When Zhao Hai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that this Demon Sect is the Demon Sect. Such a management method is very beneficial to monks, but for ordinary people, it may not be a good thing, because those ordinary people are the group of people who are most oppressed by them, and they are also a group of people who do not even have the chance to resist.
