Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 940 - 250: Blood Gu Sect Emerges! Sudden Turmoil!

When Fan Wu arrived at another city, he discovered that he had indeed become a famous figure in the Shangwu Dynasty. In theory, such news with extremely negative implications for the Shangwu Dynasty should not have spread throughout the entire dynasty. After all, is it glorious to have news that tens of thousands of the imperial army were defeated by one person spread aloud? Yet, strangely enough, the Imperial Court of this dynasty did not suppress the spread of such news.

As a result... Fan Wu became well-known within the dynasty; to say he was a phenomenon-level celebrity was no exaggeration. Of course, most people only heard some rumors about Fan Wu’s deeds, but didn’t know what he actually looked like. This was a silver lining in an unfortunate situation; otherwise, he wouldn’t know how many gazes would be upon him. Even though Fan Wu usually didn’t mind these looks, he didn’t want to be viewed as if he were a monkey.

Thankfully, he now had the brothers Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu to draw the attention. After all, these two... standing at a full three meters tall, were certainly eye-catching. As he walked, Fan Wu noticed that many people on the street looked at the two brothers with a shocked gaze. Perhaps this was the same way people looked at him back in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty!

The city Fan Wu had now arrived at... oh, that’s not quite right, because this was not a county city, but a true metropolis. The city he had come to was called "Ying Tian City." This city was huge in scale, not inferior to the Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Looking around, it was bustling with people, truly packed to the brim. Here, if someone accidentally fell, it might even lead to a stampede.

"Have none of you ever been to Ying Tian City?" Yun Jiuqing asked curiously, her question clearly directed at Yan Dalong, Yan Dahu, and Bai Sheng—the three locals from the Shangwu Dynasty in their group. That’s because among all the people in their party, only these three were from the Shangwu Dynasty. Yun Jiuqing, Fan Wu, Xing Fengzi, and even Destiny Coffin and Old Blue Ox... all came from the Great Zhou Dynasty and knew very little about this dynasty, not to mention having visited before.

As they moved forward, Yan Dahu, aggressively grooming his beard, shouted in a loud voice, "On our way here, we brothers wouldn’t dare pass through such large cities because in places like this there are many formidable characters. Moreover, the garrison of such a city could be no less than a hundred thousand men. If we passed through such a place, we would surely be surrounded and attacked. But this time is different, this time we have Brother Fan Wu!"

Speaking of Fan Wu, Yan Dahu was extremely excited, "With Brother Fan Wu here, even if we are surrounded by a hundred thousand people, so what? I actually look forward to them surrounding us, as I’ve never been surrounded by a hundred thousand people before! Let those officials in Ying Tian City dare to try to catch us! If they dare to come after us, I’ll respect them as real men. If they don’t dare, then they are just a bunch of cowards!"

"I have never been here either. However, I have heard of Ying Tian City—as such a city is quite famous within the vast Shangwu Dynasty," the speaker was Bai Sheng, who continued, "If we don’t count the Imperial City of the Shangwu Dynasty, then... a city of this size ranks... within the top ten in the entire Shangwu Dynasty, I guess?"

"A major city that ranks within the top ten aside from the Imperial City?" Upon hearing Bai Sheng’s words, Yun Jiuqing suddenly had an epiphany, "No wonder this city looks so big, and there are so many people. Just how many residents does Ying Tian City actually have? And how about the population of the Imperial City of the Shangwu Dynasty?"

She asked out of pure curiosity. Facing Yun Jiuqing’s curiosity, Bai Sheng patiently explained, "I have heard... that Ying Tian City has a population of about seven million, and if you add the floating population, it might be close to eight million. As for the population of the Shangwu Dynasty’s Imperial City, it’s more than thirty million."

"What? How many?" Yun Jiuqing was dumbstruck when she heard this explanation, as such a population was indeed beyond her imagination. In her mind, even the Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn’t have a population of around eight million, let alone thirty million! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The entire Great Zhou Dynasty had a total population of no more than ten million, yet within the Shangwu Dynasty, just one Imperial City accounted for half the population of the Great Zhou Dynasty? How immense must an Imperial City be to accommodate so many residents? Yun Jiuqing could no longer imagine it because it had touched upon her blind spot in knowledge.

"My goodness... a city... with so many residents!" Yun Jiuqing couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, "I’ve heard that some smaller dynasties have a total population of merely tens or hundreds of thousands. The population of this Ying Tian City alone could compare to an entire dynasty. No wonder that in this vast region, the Shangwu Dynasty is the strongest."
