As it turned out, there were no hills marked on the map of the Northern Wasteland, so it took Xia Yang more than three days to reach the city.
Along the way, he met many exiles who were attracted to the high level of the young man. It was only a pity that the aura they provided was too small, not allowing Xia Yan’s realm to grow.
The blinding sun scorched the ground, the temperatures were so high that ordinary people would simply not survive here! Only a strong cultivator could keep working under such a scorching sun.
On a high hill on the edge of a cliff stood a man in a long black robe…
“Hmm, I thought there would be primitive man’s houses here… made of straw and concrete, but I didn’t expect their dwellings to be quite modern.” – Xia Yang wondered.
He had originally thought that the Northern Wasteland was so harsh that not even insects could survive here… With such a scarcity of resources, it was only natural that the city should be in ruins.
But apparently, the truth exceeded his expectations, the cities in the Northern Wasteland were no different from those in the outside world!
“It has been a long windy night tonight, I must take a bath, stock up on good wine and meat, and when I am rested, it will be time to have some fun!”
In the cities of the Northern Badlands, there was no such thing as civilians… the inhabitants were all exiles who had committed crimes…! But before destroying them, Xia Yang had to take a good bath and stock up on food.
Xia Yang smiled, put on his hood and mask, and headed towards the city that was already visible behind the cliff.
As soon as Xia Yang crossed the city gate, the two exiles of the Ninth Dan Kingdom decided to stop the wanderer.
Since the young man was wearing a mask, they didn’t see that he didn’t have the seal of exile… Of course, they didn’t bother to confirm it, since this was the Northern Wasteland, which an ordinary mortal wouldn’t be able to cross.
– This is your first time here, isn’t it? According to the rules, you have to pay 10,000 spirit stones before you can enter… and if you don’t have them, go and kill someone to steal them from them!

10,000 spiritual stones? In the outside world, that’s just a huge amount to enter, but there was no choice, so our wanderer dutifully agreed.
– All right, I’ll pay! – He said, holding out the sum.
– You are rich, newcomer! Come on in!
Xia Yang walked a bit and was dumbfounded! This city had everything, be it streets, stores, hotels… But there were very few people around, which made the streets a bit deserted…
– Hey! Don’t you need a fresh newspaper?
Xia Yang didn’t even take two steps as a wobbly, ugly man with only the ninth level of the Yuan Kingdom walked up to him, holding a roll of newspaper in his hand and smiling flatteringly.
– This is a fresh press, printed this morning. I’ll give it to you for five thousand.
– All right, come on! Is there a pawnshop here?
– A pawn shop? If you have something of value, you should go to a treasure dealer. Not only can you sell your goods there, but you can buy something unique. And if they like it a lot, they’ll auction it off so you can earn even more spirit stones!
The Ugly Man raised his eyebrows, smiled indecently, and lowered his voice a little:
– This is your first time here, right? Since you’ve been generous with me, I’ll tell you something else… Treasure Traders not only sell all kinds of things, but they also bring slaves from everywhere to sell! If you’re interested, feel free to ask them. But it’s not cheap, so get lots of spirit stones ready at once!
– The slave trade… But the outside world is well guarded, where do they get slaves?”
– Hey, you underestimate the skill of the Treasure Traders!
– “The Treasure Traders are one of the most powerful conglomerates in the entire Northern Wasteland, their master is a powerful cultivator who is half a step away from the Heavenly Kingdom! Under his command are many small and large polarities! They often sneak into the world and plunder villages and towns! The slaves are the ones they bring from the outside world!”
– But what they do is quite dangerous! Desolate North City, Fiery East City, Yunan City, and Rainy West City have a large number of experts sitting in town just to prevent the looting and raiding of exiles from the Northern Wasteland. Once they are discovered by these experts, they will inevitably be attacked!
