"Let's go!" Jiang Chen extended his hand, and with an invisible force, Tie Shan and Tie Luan felt themselves being restrained, uncontrollably flying to Jiang Chen's front.
"My patience is limited; lead the way," Jiang Chen said, his tone slightly more forceful. Sometimes, being overly kind does not achieve the desired effect; a bit of roughness is more effective.
The two of them could only reluctantly lead the way ahead.
"Brother, are all the people outside this fierce?" Tie Luan murmured softly.
Tie Shan did not respond but glanced back at Jiang Chen. Seeing him walking leisurely behind them, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
Jiang Chen did not use any flying techniques; he simply walked slowly through the forest. Although it seemed slow, his speed was anything but. For cultivators, traversing distance was effortless; what appeared as a single step often covered great ground.
After half an hour, they had traveled thirty miles and began to see the forest thinning out, revealing signs of human activity.
Although Tie Shan felt frustrated, under Jiang Chen's oppressive presence, he could only behave like a wronged little cat, answering whatever Jiang Chen asked.
To Jiang Chen, this place resembled a Hidden Sect. Although Tie Shan insisted that they were not a sect but rather a tribe known as the Sea God Clan, they prided themselves on being descendants of divine beings from the sea, possessing the power to control the ocean. Naturally, Tie Shan and Tie Luan firmly believed this. It wasn't blind faith; their clan's strong members indeed wielded formidable power, enough to make even the Raksasa Merfolk of the sea submit to them.
Jiang Chen remained noncommittal on the matter. Even in Earth's ancient times, there likely existed only cultivators; true gods were certainly absent from Earth. Of course, beings that were part human and part divine could be considered gods in their own right.
Claiming to be descendants of sea gods was not unreasonable for this Sea God Clan. In fact, they were quite similar to the Hidden Sects of Huaxia. However, those Hidden Sects had fragmented lineages and rarely possessed ancient inheritances. In contrast, the Sea God Clan had lived in this secluded paradise for generations, allowing their traditions to remain intact.
Even if this Sea God Clan truly descended from thousands of years ago, Jiang Chen had little interest in that. After all, he had already learned about events from millennia ago on Earth through Shan Ba Mei and Ling Mingzi.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's interest in this place stemmed entirely from its unique terrain and formations. Although these formations were becoming increasingly unstable and at risk of collapse, such issues were not significant concerns for him.
Establishing a Sect here seemed like a good choice. After years of searching for a suitable location on Earth to establish a Sect and visiting many places without satisfaction, this paradise caught Jiang Chen's eye.
Of course, he had yet to fully understand this place. Even Tie Shan's knowledge was limited to the internal aspects; they were completely unaware of what lay outside.
Once Jiang Chen gained a comprehensive understanding of both the interior and exterior of this place, he would decide whether or not to establish a Sect here.
As they emerged from the forest, a wide and flat road appeared before them, leading directly to a city ahead.
Indeed, it was a city; high walls built from massive stones stood over thirty meters tall, with guards patrolling above. At the main gate stood sentinels as well. According to Tie Shan, this was their ancestral home—the Sea God City—spanning a vast area that housed thousands of inhabitants.
