I was reborn as the villain

As early as a few months ago, Chen Zhimo had carefully studied Ling Hai's map. It is already a consensus that the world is round here. Ling Hai is a huge ring-shaped land belt connected at the end, which just straddles this planet. The northern third of the place is covered by the vast sea, so the Linghai Continent is more like putting a scarf on a planet full of oceans, cutting the entire sea into two pieces of different sizes. The smaller ocean to the north surrounded by the sea is called the inner sea, and the larger ocean to the south is called the outer sea. In the world of Linghai, although the land area is positively smaller than the area of ​​the ocean, the area of ​​the Linghai continent is not known to be much larger than the earth times.

In the center of the Inner Sea, there is a thick fog that will never disperse like a substance. No one has ever been able to get close, including the powerhouse of the immortal level. It is just that there are 33 abyss hidden in the Inner Sea in the legend, which is called the 33 Abyss of the Inner Sea in history. What is inside, no one can tell clearly, but there is no such weird barrier in the outer sea, and there are many islands suitable for human habitation, but the outer sea is extremely vast, and it is said that there are eighteen fairy islands scattered in the far and far distance , known as the Eighteen Islands in the Outer Sea, is said to be the secluded place of the peerless immortals who survived the Linghai War millions of years ago. The island has top-quality treasures and countless exercises. It is a place that everyone dreams of. There are also very few people, and even fewer people can return to the Linghai Continent if they find it. Therefore, what the fairy island looks like only exists in legends.

On the map, it can be seen that the Linghai Continent is a ring-shaped land belt, which suddenly breaks off at a certain point, like a ring with a gap, and the land area opposite the gap is also narrowed, as narrow as this land The mainland would also be disconnected from here, but if you look closely, you can find that there is a huge city connecting the two continents at the narrowest point. This big city is Shucang City, which Chen Zhimo is going to.

That is to say, Shucang City faces the sea on the north and south sides, and the mainland on the east and west sides. If you want to integrate the east and west continents, Shucang City is the place you must pass through from the land. The geographical importance of Shucang City is clearly on the paper.

The place where Shucang City is located is a strategically important place, and it is also a hub city leading to various places. It has a pivotal position in the entire Linghai.

Shucang City has well-developed transportation, and it is the only place that connects the two continents on land. Merchants and travelers from all over the world travel here, which also forms a crowded situation. It is the city with the largest foreign population, and Shucang City The development of the shipping industry has also made Shu Cangcheng a city with developed economy and trade, and the city with the most frequent trade exchanges.

Shucang City is the main city of Shucang Kingdom. The whole country is composed of the main city of Shucang City, Qingjiao City and Nanping City. Shucang Kingdom has been under the rule of the Xun Dynasty for hundreds of years. The country where people dare not mess around is the most fair place for mortals and immortal cultivators. The reason is that the royal family members of the Shucang Kingdom are all mortals who cannot cultivate immortals.

What I want to say here is that in Linghai, immortal cultivators other than the royal family members cannot intervene too much in the mortal world, especially immortal cultivators whose cultivation base has reached the three-yuan realm and above, they will generally seek refuge in a certain Zongmen, people with a little aptitude for cultivating immortals will worship various sects at a very young age, and there is an unwritten rule in the sect, that is, disciples in the sect are not allowed to interfere with the normal life of the mortal world. Life, and generally there are not many immortal cultivators who do not practice hard and have the intention to go to the mortal world to toss, but in order to prevent evil cultivators from using supernatural powers to help some mortals achieve ulterior purposes, Linghai's top ten strongest The Zongmen jointly set up an organization—Wen Tianjian. Whenever it is found that there are immortal cultivators above the Sanyuan realm acting mischievously in the world, they will be punished. For the cultivators below the Sanyuan realm, Wen Tianjian will treat them a little more leniently. , this organization has played a powerful role in Ling Hai since its rise, and has gradually been recognized by most of Ling Hai's sects. , has a great influence on Ling Hai's balance.

Most of the royal family members of the major empires are also immortal cultivators. For example, the royal family of the Tianyun Empire is the disciple of Tianyunxi. These people are not bound by the rules of Wen Tianjian. In the face of the enemy's attack, you can't fight against the enemy. It's not justified by emotion and reason, and these royal family members also have big backers behind them, so they are outside the rules, as long as they don't do too much. If you ask Tianjian, you will turn a blind eye and close one eye. If you really can't stand it anymore, you will go to mediate.

Since immortal cultivators cannot interfere in the mortal world, let alone use supernatural powers to help mortals fight, how can Shucang City, a place with an excellent geographical location, a high strategic position and extremely rich, where the ruler cannot cultivate immortals, not be coveted by other forces?

Of course there are forces who have the idea of ​​Shucang City. Not only are people outside coveting Shucang City, but even some powerful ministers in the country want to take Shucang City as their own. It's just that the Xun family There is an ancestor among them, it is said that hundreds of years ago, he has cultivated to the realm of spiritual illusion. With the protection of this ancestor, those who are eyeing him dare not make any moves.

It's just that this ancestor was bound by two things, one was wanting to break through the boundless void, and the other was wanting to find out why the Xun clan suddenly couldn't cultivate immortals and find a solution, so this ancestor was either in seclusion or wandering outside all the year round, rarely Shao Shao's appearance in Shu Cang City was of course the intention of leaving words to discourage outsiders from thinking about the Xun Dynasty.

But Shu Cangcheng's temptation is very great. With enough temptation, many people will take risks. What's more, the time for the ancestor of the Xun clan to show up is getting less and less, and finally he hasn't shown up for a hundred years. Many people wondered whether the ancestor of the Xun family had passed away, so a coup took place. At the beginning, the Qiang family and the Jing family of the Shucang Kingdom joined forces with other countries to seize power, causing a bloodbath. The family succeeded in driving the Xun family from the throne, and when they found out that the legendary ancestor of the Xun family did not show up, they became even more unscrupulous, so in order to avoid future troubles, the two families began to kill the royal family of the Xun family, killing with blood Flowing like a river, if the ancestors of the Xun clan hadn't rushed back in time, the Xun clan would have been wiped out.

After the ancestor of the Xun clan rescued the surviving members of the Xun clan, the thunderbolt was enraged. In a rage, he killed the Qiang clan and the Jing clan and slaughtered their nine clans. Afterwards, the heads of these rebels were hung all over the city wall, and the forces from other countries colluding with the Qiang and Jing clans were also angrily killed by the ancestors of the Xun clan, which shocked the entire Linghai for a while.

Afterwards, the ancestor of the Xun clan ignored Wen Tianjian's regulations and left a disciple with a high level of cultivation to assist the remnant royal family of the Xun clan to rebuild the Xun clan.

After this incident, the ancestors of the Xun clan drifted away, but the deterrent and shock left behind kept the Xun clan dynasty alive for 200 years.

Because none of the Xun clan can cultivate immortals, they are more friendly to ordinary people. Many ordinary people can get relatively fair treatment here, can be officials, do business, and lead soldiers... This also created Shucang The stability and peace of the city has become one of the most stable countries in Linghai for 200 years.

The deterrent power of the ancestors of the Xun family has lasted for a hundred years, and this has also allowed many immortal cultivators to keep their own place in Shucang. Most of them still use Shucang City as a transfer station on the way of experience, and they will not cause chaos and cause chaos in Shucang City. The incident has gradually formed an unwritten rule, that is, all parties are not allowed to fight in Shucang City, all cultivators must abide by Shucang Kingdom's legal system in Shucang City, and all sects recognize Shucang Kingdom's search The absolute status of the clan royal family also made Shucang City more prosperous.

It's just that the ancestors of the Xun clan haven't appeared in 200 years since the massacre. Although no one dared to take action against the Xun clan, some small frictions on the border still began to arise. Gradually, people also came to a consensus, that is, as long as If no major incidents are caused, as long as the lives and dominance of the Xun clan's royal family are not endangered, then the ancestors of the Xun clan will not show up to kill.
