Chereads / The King of Sins / Chapter 4 - Woof City

Chapter 4 - Woof City

In his childhood, he never learnt feelings and consideration of other humans feeling. He would never show mercy, because no one showed it to him either and trust issues distanced him far away from society.

Even the teachers in his old school never cared about him and let the bullies continue their mobbing.

So, he decided to never show any mercy and trust wasn't an option for him.

He looked at the man, who's holding his hands on his groin and seems to be in a painful state.

Fuji looked around at the wide road and the previous crowd already made a big distance.

„Shit!"

This wasn't very good for him, because wherever they go, there has to be civilization and he couldn't just wait for another crowd to come.

„sigh...man..today won't be your lucky day!"

Fuji glared at the man and picked up a rock at the edges of the wide road. He walked back to him and..

*bang!*

„Good Night!"

He hit him on the back of his head and the man fell on the ground unconsciously.

Additionally, Fuji searched trough his pockets and found weird looking stones. In total, it were five and he didn't know what it was, but chose to store it.

Fuji hastily carried the unconscious man on his shoulder and ran behind the crowd, that was holding a long distance.

The guards were protecting the horse-drawn carriage and many clansmen were following behind them.

„Shou Hong, did you see Shou Enlai anywhere?"

The called man was tall and beneath the long-sleeved robe with metal plates on his shoulders, arms, neck and thighs, his muscular body was sensational. He was the leader of the group, Shou Hong.

He looked behind and saw the Guard Chongan with a worried expression. Chongan was known for his teamwork and cared for his fellow mates.

„Wasn't he behind us? Where did the idiot go?"

Shou Hong didn't really care about him, since the clan has no real use for him and therefore, couldn't bother with it.

„He will probably come back.."

Guard Chongan hoped, that his mate didn't happen anything bad, but his fate was already doomed.

The wide road was now coming to an end and there stood a broad gate. This broad gate belonged to the big walled Woof City and it was humongous.

The city walls acted as protection for citizens from potential aggressors and stretched about thousands of meter. Their height was 25 meters and the width was 15 meters. They have towers with arrow loops built and the broad gate was the only access point to enter Woof City.

(100 Meters=0,062 Miles)

At the gatehouse, multiple men in black long-sleeved robes with a sword scabbard guarded and overlooked the area. They survey the travelers and evaluate the cultivation rank.

Every new traveler, that has been verified will receive entry to the Woof City and can either apply for citizenship or take entry exams to enter clans. There are different areas in each region of Woof City.

In total, there are 5 districts in the city and each vary in their characteristics.

The left district is known for it's productive evolution and many blacksmiths, tailors or butchers work here. This counted as the workers district and evolved from easy jobs, as shoemaker, tanners and various others to the current jobs. If one planned to create a successful clan in Woof City, the dependence and relationship within this district was important.

The right district is known for it's tasty food and restaurants, that occupied many locations. The hotels in this district acted for many travelers as temporary houses and the catch by this, was to bait them into buying various food and the prices sometimes skyrocketed.

The lower district, which is the closest to the gatehouse, is known for the banks and merchants. The banks offered a loan and many travelers saw it as a opportunity to buy themselves new stuff. Once they reached enough glory or progressed enough in a clan, many planned to pay the loan back.

Many merchants sold different kinds of weapons and were sometimes controlled or suppressed from a clan.

The upper district is known as the entertainment area and many female clans provide services for male cultivators. The reason was, that there was one popular cultivation art, which needed a male and female to have sexual intercourse together.

The centre district is occupied from a famous clan and every merchant located in this area has to pay fees to the clan. They are known not only for their wealth, but also for their immense strength and talented cultivators.

The areas, that weren't included in a district or didn't receive any financial support, ended up as small slams and were inhabited by poor people.

The horse-drawn carriage was now waiting for the allowance from the guards to enter and would gain access to Woof City.

„Name?"

The guard asked the tall man, who looked to be the strongest and stood in front of every men.

„My name is Shou Hong."

Shou Hong calmly answered the questions and the guard looked surprised, when he heard 'Shou'.

„Your from the clan Shou? Where did you come from and what was the purpose of leaving?"

Shou Hong expected this question and explained their situation, but only needed information to enter.

„We left the City to fulfill a secret task assigned from the vice clan leader and now we wish to enter to report back."

The guard was accustomed to the lack of information from clans and didn't investigate further.

He instructed them to be cautious, because there has been a murderous cultivator causing the death of many disciples and citizens.

„Thanks, we will be careful."

He thanked him and the guard gestured with his hand to enter the gate.

*creak*

The heavy gate opened and made loud creaked noises. The view of a modern road and buildings with the same ancient chinese population stung the eye.

„You can now enter!"

The group walked in and unbeknownst to them, a man with the unconscious Shou Enlai on his right shoulder, was right behind them, blending in to enter with them.
