Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1948: Chapter 1949: Crisis?

Very quickly, Ye Luo and Yun Yin arrived at the front of the Mountain Fortress!

Ye Luo looked at this so-called fortress with shock, and didn’t know how to express what he felt!

Is this really the abandoned fortress?

Seeing the massive walls in front, though somewhat broken, reaching at least several hundred meters in height and dozens of meters in thickness, Ye Luo truly didn’t know what to say!

One must know, the Great Tang Empire’s border walls, which have guarded the empire for thousands of years, are merely a hundred meters!

And this supposedly abandoned fortress is even taller and thicker than the Great Tang Empire’s former border walls!

Moreover, the materials used to construct the walls are unparalleled!

And those floating islands in the sky?

If this were in the Great Tang, they’d definitely be at the Spirit Sword Island level!

Yet here, nearly a hundred are floating!

Moreover, there are clear traces of towers, formations, and so on atop these floating islands!

...

An abandoned military fortress possesses such a terrifying aura and configuration!

What if this fortress were still in use, how terrifying would it be?

The Sixth Region, indeed, this is still the Sixth Region!

For now, it merely presents a glimpse before Ye Luo!

Without hesitation, Ye Luo walked directly towards the abandoned Mountain Fortress!

The two sides of the Mountain Fortress are two mountain ranges, yet they are marked as forbidden areas!

Even the map has clear indications!

Hidden within these mountain ranges are extremely powerful demon beasts, and those who enter rarely come out alive!

And the Mountain Fortress is built at the only gap between these forbidden lands!

If one chooses to go around?

Then, at least three months more of travel would be necessary!

Or it’s an option to venture into the forbidden territory!

Ye Luo didn’t have three months to take a detour, so this Mountain Fortress truly was his only choice!

Though it’s said to be abandoned, actually, quite a few people live here.

After all, although there aren’t many suitable resources around the Mountain Fortress, it used to be a military base after all, and the leftover facilities like Spirit Gathering Arrays which aid cultivation are territories very much occupied by loose cultivators!

The various forces within the Mountain Fortress divide their territories based on those remaining facilities!

Of course, besides these people, there are others too.

But the only common point is, anyone living within the Mountain Fortress is anything but good!

In the Martial Realm, there is no distinction between righteous or demonic paths, in the Martial Realm, regardless of what cultivation technique you practice, as long as your power is strong, it’s the righteous path!

And no matter how kind-hearted you are, doing countless good deeds, if you lack power, you’re destined to be a demonic path that others can extinguish!

However, ultimately, those who cultivate some cruel or eerie techniques won’t be accepted by the mainstream, so places like the Mountain Fortress are indeed their paradise!

Additionally, there are people who flee to this place to escape enemies, or traitors of large factions being chased!

Overall, within this Mountain Fortress, you’ll find people from all walks of life!

This is a place without rules, everything is dictated by strength!

Slaughter, chaos, madness, are the main themes of the Mountain Fortress!

Any experienced individuals would never linger in the Mountain Fortress, they pay protection fees and leave immediately; even disciples of major factions passing through here, even if nobody charges them any protection fee, tolls, or anything, they wouldn’t linger for a moment!

This is not a paradise; it is a chaotic place, an abandoned land! Also, it’s a slaughter paradise!

Unfortunately, Ye Luo and Yun Yin have no knowledge of these facts, nor would they even be afraid!

For Ye Luo, this is his first time truly witnessing a fortress belonging to the Sixth Region, inevitably sparking curiosity, while for Yun Yin, it’s even her first time leaving Mo Ju, making everything fill her with curiosity!

Thus, the two entered the Mountain Fortress and surprisingly didn’t leave immediately, but rather prepared to stay with great interest!

At this time, the Mountain Fortress had yet to show its evil side, and within the fortress, although there were ruins everywhere, quite a few people lived here, residing in those broken houses.

Moreover, while these people appeared very indifferent when they saw Ye Luo and Yun Yin, they didn’t display any hostility, one could say that at this moment, Ye Luo had no idea of the malice lurking here!

Ye Luo and Yun Yin were walking side by side, both appearing somewhat curious, walking through the broken Mountain Fortress while casting slightly shocked and curious glances around.

Little did they know, people were already discussing right where they had left!

”Ah, it’s a pity. That little girl looks truly charming; if I could get her, how wonderful that would be!”

”Shut up, you better not target those two guys, the four major gangs have already issued orders, those two are their prey!”

”I’m just saying; I’m not stupid enough to compete with the four major gangs. No matter how charming that girl is, you’ve got to be alive to enjoy it! However, I’m really curious about their identities, to be worth such attention from the four major gangs!”

”I’ve heard that it’s not really our Mountain Fortress’s four major gangs that fancy them, but another major figure that even the four major gangs can’t afford to offend!”

”Ha, just those two? A mere First-Order Earth Martial Realm guy? And another girl? How could a major figure fancy them? Are you kidding me?”

”Believe it or not, if you think you’re living too long, go and target those two!”

”Relax, I haven’t lived long enough; I’m not foolish enough to compete with the four major gangs for prey!”

...

If Ye Luo heard these conversations, he would immediately realize that although they seemed calm now, in fact, danger was imminent. It wasn’t that nobody was eyeing them, but rather, there were far more powerful individuals keeping tabs on them, allowing them to be so leisurely now!

Sadly, Ye Luo couldn’t hear these conversations, so at present, neither of them knew that danger was approaching!

At this moment, Ye Luo was even searching for an inn, preparing to settle here for a bit!

Of course, it’s not to say that indeed no one is targeting them.

In truth, although the Mountain Fortress is dominated by the four major gangs, they’re not the only gangs here. Yes, the four major gangs did say these two are their prey, but there are still some who are not afraid of them, or more accurately, are looking to snatch prey from them!

At this moment, a child appeared in front of Ye Luo!
