Chapter 581: 581
Shen Feng was distraught when Shen Xi and his family passed away . He mobilized all the powers he could to find the murderer, but he had failed .
However, not long after that, Shen Yanxiao’s father, Shen Feng’s youngest son, Shen Yu, and his family were murdered in cold blood as well .
Their deaths had been a mystery, but Shen Yue was convinced that Shen Duan must have been involved .
Unfortunately, Shen Yue was too afraid to ask about it . He did not want to be the next person to suffer the same fate .
“Well… then, I will have to rely on you . ” Shen Yue gulped . Suddenly, he realized that he was unfamiliar with that side of his second brother .
Shen Duan laughed coldly . “Of course . ”
…
On the third day after she had returned to the capital, Shen Yanxiao paid a visit to the emperor and received a certificate of appointment to build a city in the Forsaken Land from him .
With the certificate of appointment in her hand, Shen Yanxiao snuck back to the Vermilion Bird family .
Her mind began to wander as she stared at the words’ Sun Never Sets’ in the piece of paper .
The city that the emperor had granted her was named ‘Sun Never Sets’, and it was located in the east of the Forsaken Land .
The four countries in the Brilliance Continent were all bordered with the Forsaken Land, each in a different direction, and the east was closest to the Longxuan Empire .
“Xiu, do you know where the Sun Never Sets is?” Shen Yanxiao sat on her bed with her legs crossed . She tossed and turned the certificate of appointment in her hands .
“The Forsaken Land is the base camp for the demons, and they have seven headquarters . The Sun Never Sets is the headquarters in the east,” Xiu replied .
“Headquarters?” Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows .
“The Sun Never Sets is almost as large as the capital of the Longxuan Empire . Since it was once the demon race’s headquarters, the demons there are of a higher level, and the low-level demons are densely populated there . ”
“The emperor sure is generous to me . He has given me such a large piece . ” Shen Yanxiao chuckled . She was on the bed, but the chuckle merely stayed on her face, and not in her eyes .
There was danger in that seemingly generous gift .
If it were the other normal areas, anyone would be over the moon to have that massive piece of a fief .
However, the Sun Never Sets was in the Forsaken Land . A larger area meant more demons would have to be killed . The defense system and equipment needed for the city would be more significant as well .
In the past, winners of the Inter-academy Tournament would be granted smaller cities . That way, they could avoid a large number of demons and, at the same time, engage in less work .
However, the emperor’s arrangement that year was a surprise .
“The emperor might have a problem with my profession . ” Shen Yanxiao, of course, understood the emperor’s intention . She saw the aversion in the emperor’s eyes when he handed her the certificate of appointment . She knew that her journey to the Forsaken Land would be beset with difficulties .
The past winners could not even stabilize one small city, and the emperor had given her such a large one . It meant that he did not want her to succeed .
On the other hand, it was what Shen Yanxiao had desired . Her primary goal for the Forsaken Land was to raise demons .
She was not afraid of a large population of demons; too few meant that Xiu could not satisfy his appetite .
“Xiu, you must know something about the Forsaken Land . What do you think we should prepare for our trip?” Shen Yanxiao consulted Xiu . Somehow, she had the feeling that Xiu’s knowledge of the Forsaken Land was better than anyone else’s .
Of course, Xiu did not let her down .
“You can hardly rebuild the Sun Never Sets without a thousand people . But, when you first get to the Sun Never Sets, your main target would be to take care of the demons there . Otherwise, all your efforts would be in vain even if you take ten thousand people with you . ”
