Chapter 2056: About Nine Stars City
Then they saw all kinds of red; most buildings were red, trees by the buildings bloomed with red flowers, and above the buildings, groups of red-hot Rocs flew around.
The entire world was dominated by vast swathes of red.
Tang Yichen stared out the window for a long time and asked, "Why is everything red everywhere?"
Gu Zhiqi explained, "Most people in Nine Stars City cultivate based on their attributes, just like Brother Ling’s five subordinates."
"In Red Star First City, both the climate and resources are suitable for fire attribute Ancient Martial Artists to cultivate. Those red objects are fire-attributed and aid in cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen understood, "I see."
The train stopped for two minutes in Red Star First City before starting again.
Soon, the train sped away from Red Star First City.
As the train moved further away, everyone’s view became broader.
Regarding Red Star First City, they could see even more broadly.
However, most areas were obscured by the sea of clouds, so it was impossible to fully capture Red Star First City in their sight.
Yet, faintly, Tang Yichen seemed to see something akin to a volcano.
"Is there a volcano in Red Star First City?" Tang Yichen asked Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi nodded, "Not only is there a volcano, but there’s also an underground magma city beneath Red Star First City that fire-attributed cultivators love."
Tang Yichen: "..."
This was enlightening.
Gu Zhiqi: "Someday, I’ll take... I’ll have someone take you to visit."
After saying this, Gu Zhiqi turned to Su Yunling, "Once things aren’t so busy over there in Xia Country, let’s bring Yun Xin and the others to Nine Stars City. They’ll surely like it."
Su Yunling smiled and nodded, "Alright."
After leaving Red Star First City, the train once again began to weave through the vast sea of clouds.
Aside from clouds, there were only clouds, so Tang Yichen stopped looking outside.
Thinking of something, he glanced at the carriage where Bian Xinrui was earlier.
Upon seeing this, Tang Yichen immediately said to Gu Zhiqi, "Gu Xiaoxi, that woman is missing."
Gu Zhiqi casually explained, "She got off at Red Star First City; the Bian family’s base is there."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen nodded.
Having heard the reminder earlier from others and now hearing Gu Zhiqi mention the Bian family again, Tang Yichen immediately leaned closer to Gu Zhiqi and asked in a low voice, "Gu Xiaoxi, what’s the deal with the Bian family?"
Gu Zhiqi pondered for two seconds, then explained, "If you compare Nine Stars City to the Ancient Martial Arts World, the Bian family’s status in Nine Stars City is probably akin to those First-class Families’ status in the Ancient Martial Arts World."
Hearing this, Tang Yichen understood.
He nodded slightly and then continued to ask, "Besides the Bian family, what other major families and forces are there in Nine Stars City?"
Seeing that besides Tang Yichen, everyone else was looking at her with curiosity, Gu Zhiqi started to explain, "In terms of power distribution, it roughly includes Nine Stars Academy, the City Lord’s Mansion, and various major families."
Their status could be summarized in a pyramid.
Among them, the most influential are the dean of Nine Stars Academy and the city lord of Nine Stars City, both giving half-and-half authority, with the City Lord’s Mansion and Nine Stars Academy at the top of the pyramid in Nine Stars City.
The second tier could be occupied by the four top-tier families: the Yan Family, Su Family, Xi Family, and Helian Family.
The third tier includes the First-class Families, nine in total, which includes the Bian Family.
The fourth tier consists of the Second-class Families.
The fifth tier includes the Third-six Families.
Below them are the non-ranking families.
