Dragon Monarch
Chapter 304 - Entering the City
Han Empire
Lin Yan stared towards the enormous city gate. He was currently excited about what would be in a city as big as before him.
“This city is referred to as Han City, it consists of the Han Clan which is the ruler of the Han Empire, and many powerful Clans that are under them. But here there was no territory controlled by the Sect because all the great Sects were outside the territory of Han City.” Canglan explained the structure of the Han Empire because previously he had only explained about everything in the Saint Continent roughly to Lin Yan but not the ruling Clan Clan.
“But, very many strong Sect members are inside there because this place is indeed a place what cultivators are looking for is likely there.” Added Canglan.
“Is this place free or many rules apply?” Asked Lin Yan curiously.
“Yes and no, Young Master. The city is divided into three regions. The first area is an urban area where buying and selling, lodging, restaurants and so on are open to the public. The second region was to the South of the city, away from the urban and third region, the place was law-free, there were no binding rules, where cultivators were protesting. There is also Arena, murder is released. The second region can be said to be four times wider than the first region and the third region.”
“I don't know why the Han Empire made such a brutal place. It was likely that their goal was to sift through the great cultivators, where the disputes between Clans were settled and also the training grounds for the cultivators in the Han Empire as well as the gathering places of all the evil or criminal cultivators. From the rumors, the criminals will be left in that place so that other areas of the city remain safe.”
“The path to the place called as Hell City is twofold, namely through Han city but we need quite a long time to reach the location of Hell City. And the other way is from the other side of the Han Empire region because the entrance to Hell City does not have a seal that protects a city like Han.” City, Canglan said.
“Interesting! If so let's go inside and after we find the Spiritual Grass, we will go to Hell City to see all the strong cultivators.” said Lin Yan was very interested in Hell City which became part of the Han Empire territory.
Canglan only nodded knowing that every cultivator who entered Han City, they would go eventually to Hell City to increase their strength as well as fighting ability. It also served to attract the Han Empire's interest to cultivators. Because, if the Han Empire recruited them, it was certain that their lives would be guaranteed and hard-to-get resources would be received from the Han Empire.
“Come Young Master.” Canglan also slowly led the way to the front of the city gate.
Lin Yan only nodded small and followed as he continued to pay attention to all the cultivators who were there.
Many of them were extremely strong, even a King Realm level cultivator was very easy to find. All of them had affairs within the city, even the merchants who came from outside were very much visible because the merchandise would be younger sold in Han City.
When Lin Yan and Canglan approached, some guards stopped them like other guards in charge of checking everything from the travelers or merchants. That was due to the security of Han City being guarded quite tightly unlike Hell City which had no rules at all.
“Stop in place. Tell me your destination and how long you have been in Han.” City One of the guards who had the ninth stage Celestial Realm cultivation level stopped Lin Yan and Canglan then asked.
“We want to look for some herbs and also chances are we will settle in more than a month.” Canglan also said the purpose of entering Han City.
“Good! Check them if they are in the search list!” The guard orders his partner.
The other guard took out an object and channeled his qi to it. Using his Spiritual energy, the guard checked the entire search list that he did not remember then gazed towards Canglan and Lin Yan.
“Hm?” The guard slightly raised his eyebrows while staring at Canglan but he did not speak at all.
“They are both clean.” said the guard.
The other guard nodded then looked towards Lin Yan and Canglan. “1 high-end spiritual stones for one person to enter the city.”
Lin Yan was speechless hearing the name of the spiritual stone. He certainly knew what it was but he did not know what a top grade spiritual stone or other class looked like.
Canglan on the other hand gave a small nod and took out two top grade spiritual stones then handed them over to the guards.
The Qi that was in the spiritual stone issued by Canglan had a qi capacity of almost a hundred times more than the spiritual stone he had.
The guard who received the spiritual stone nodded and allowed Lin Yan and Canglan to pass by.
Lin Yan and Canglan entered the city but both were watched by several guards closely.
“Hey, do you know, he is someone sought after by the Puppet Sect, the former Elder of the Puppet Sect, Canglan.” One of the guards spoke.
“Let in. It's not the Han Empire's business, we just need to check on all the enemies or someone the Han Empire might want to recruit. That's our job. But, if the Puppet Sect members come here, we only need to sell the information to them at a high price.” The other guard said in an indifferent tone for not being too hopeful about it.
The other guards nodded in agreement as it was true that the matter of the great Sects or Clans existing in the Han Empire territory was none of their business at all.
Lin Yan and Canglan were completely unaware that Canglan was currently on the wanted list of the Puppet Sect. However, Canglan did not care at all because to find someone in Han City was extremely difficult.
As he passed through the city gate, Lin Yan stared towards the distance. As far as the eye can see on the main road, people are seen passing by doing their own activities.
“Young Master, let's find a place to settle down first then after that we will look for information about the existence of Spiritual Grass. Within a month more, most likely the herbs we are looking for will look.” said Canglan.
“Ya.” Lin Yan merely nodded his head lightly while staring at all the crowd of people who were busy with their respective activities.

Hell City
In a place far away from Han City was but still in the territory of the Han Empire, fights happened continuously in several places.
Right now, there was a young man who was fighting three cultivators at once.
“Basic fucking boy! Die!” Shouted one of the cultivators and attacked the young man.
The young man smiled widely and immediately made a move using his sword.
The sraing!
The young man passed the cultivator in an instant then decapitated him. After which, the young man stared at the other two cultivators.
“Run! This young man is too dangerous!” one of them darted away and his partner followed.
The young man just let them go, he stared in a certain direction while storing his sword into the space ring.
“This place is so brutal! No problem at all, I am sure with his attitude, he will definitely come to a place like this if he is not far from this location.” said the young man who is none other than Li Hao.
