Dark City has been synonymous with killing and chaos since ancient times. No one knows how long it has stood on the mainland. People can only guess its history through the mottled ancient city walls.

The dark city has no overlord in a clear sense. The people who have lived here for a long time have passed down their memory of the dark city from generation to generation. It is that the darkness has always been occupied by all four forces, and people have no idea how many faces the four forces have changed. In short, this dark city has never belonged to anyone.

Standing under the towering dark city, Mo Ran felt the shock brought to him by this ancient city with a long history, and sighed.

"This city is very big." Looking at the towering city wall that is more than ten feet high in front of you, Xu Jie'er looked surprised for the first time and sighed: "I have heard from the seniors in the clan that Dark City is one of the best cities on the continent. Unexpectedly, it was so big that it was built by whom. Such a large city can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people."

"Yeah." Mo Ran stood beside Xu Jie'er with his hands behind his back and said solemnly: "Indeed, the hugeness of this dark city has exceeded our imagination. It is really hard to understand that no one is governing such a big city."

"It's not that no one ruled, no one dared to rule here, and no one has the ability to rule here." Xu Jie'er smiled, as if she knew some of the details of the Dark City, and smiled: "I heard from the senior that this Dark City has had this rule since ancient times. No force is allowed to enter the Dark City. If you want to occupy this place, you can have a place here, but if you want to occupy this place and become a hegemon, it is an act of crossing the line."

"Cross the boundary?" Mo Ran turned his head and looked at Xu Jie'er in confusion and asked, "How can I cross the boundary without boundary?"

"No boundary?" Xu Jie'er smiled meaningfully, as bright as a chrysanthemum, and said, "Have you ever heard of it? The city of Dark City is also called the City of Freedom. Here, people have absolute freedom. If you want to kill people, you can. If you want to rob, you can. In short, as long as you come here, as long as you have the ability to save your life, no one will care about anything you do. However, there is the only rule here that no one can ignore."

"What rules?" Mo Ran asked.

"Don't try to occupy this place. Otherwise, the anger of the four dark kings will be welcomed." Xu Jie'er replied.

Listening, Mo Ran shook his head slightly and sneered: "The Four Dark Kings? But they are also powerful men of the Wukuang level. I don't think they have much deterrence."

"That's right." Xu Jie'er raised her eyebrows and said softly: "The four Dark Kings are too weak, not enough to make people feel scared."

Mo Ran deeply agreed with Xu Jie'er's words. After all, in such a large brave continent, there are countless strong people. Just the realm of martial arts is not enough to maintain a peaceful state for many years. Maybe there is any secret in it.

After looking at Xu Jie'er, Mo Ran felt that there was something in the former's words, bowed and said, "What else do you know? Let's listen, so that the kid can have a better understanding."

Seeing Mo Ran's humble appearance, Xu Jie'er was very satisfied and snapped her fingers. Xu Jie'er pretended to be profound and said, "It's better if you know the truth, I'll tell you."

"Oh?" Mo Ran was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but wonder: "I don't even know what the Four Dark Kings?"

"At least you, one of the four kings, know, hehe." Xu Jie'er chuckled.

"Uh" Mo Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't expect that Xu Jie'er would put his own words here. But he knew that Xu Jie'er was right. When it comes to some secret understanding of the mainland, let alone Xu Jie'er, even people like Fang Tang could not catch up. So Mo Ran was just stunned for a moment and did not refute.

Seeing Mo Ran's mature look, Xu Jieer was deeply bored. She pouted and muttered "Elm Head", and then solemnly said: "I heard from the seniors in the clan that this Dark City will take at least a thousand years. It has been renovated countless times before it has become so majestic little by little. The Dark City has been under the control of four kings in all dynasties, and no one can cross the line. I still remember that one of the Four Kings once had an amazing talent and had already practiced before he reached a hundred years.

Become a Martial Saint. However, this man was ambitious and unwilling to let the other three kings take charge of Dark City together, so he took action to kill the other three kings, and that man also fell in that battle. No one knew how these four kings died. There had been at least three such incidents, and the endings were consistent, so no one dared to occupy Dark City again after that, and people here also regarded this as a curse. This curse was the realm of Dark City."

Mo Ran listened, his brows became tighter and tighter. He didn't believe that these four times were all burning all four times. It would be a coincidence if that were the case. There must be an unknown secret in it.

Staring at Xu Jie'er, Mo Ran smiled faintly and said, "It's not that simple, right?"

"Of course not." Xu Jie'er was not surprised by Mo Ran's inquiry. If anyone really believed that this was a curse, then this person would be a fool.

Mo Ran is not a fool, on the contrary, he is still very smart.

Xu Jie'er raised her eyebrows, but her face became solemn: "In fact, there were only one of these four times. One of the kings was killed by the other three kings, and the conspiracy was not completed. The other three times were the ones with ambitions who won. However, after these three battles, the victorious king was killed."

"Killed?" Mo Ran was shocked when he heard this.

"Yeah." Xu Jie'er nodded heavily, with a cautious color flashing in her eyes: "And they were all just over the war, no more than a day."

"So coincidental?" Mo Ran guessed and thought to himself: "If so, there should be an invisible force behind this Dark City that is secretly controlling Dark City, which allows Dark City to maintain long-term multi-party governance."

"I don't need to say anything else. I believe you can think of someone behind Dark City." Xu Jie'er said, looking at Mo Ran with frown on her face.

He nodded subconsciously and said, "I thought of this, but..."

Mo Ran rolled his eyes, raised his head, and asked tentatively: "I believe that with the power of our Jie'er family, I won't know who is behind that person, right?"

"Oh~" This time, Xu Jie'er did not show a mysterious expression, but instead had a hint of regret on her pretty face and shook her head, "I don't know. There are many secrets on the mainland, and I'm not afraid to tell you that even with the power of my family, there are still a few places where the details cannot be found, and this dark city is in it."

"Huh?" It was Mo Ran's turn to be surprised. He had been friends with Xu Jie'er for a long time. Through the former, Mo Ran had already guessed that his family must be the most powerful existence on this continent. If it were included, it would be at least stronger than the eight major families. If even the Xu Jie'er family found the details of the Dark City, it could only explain one problem, that is, the forces behind this Dark City must at least be exactly the same as Xu Jie'er's family.

After thinking about it, Mo Ran was about to ask, but at this time, a short figure came into Mo Ran's sight.
