The human territory consists of twelve kingdoms, above them is the only monarch of this territory, the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire.
The twelve kingdoms are then, divided further based on their strength, each has its own strong points.
The kingdoms are divided into three ranks, the lower, middle, and upper ranks.
There are three kingdoms from the upper ranks, namely; Vermillion Sonata Kingdom, Solar Blaze Kingdom, and the Azure Imperial Kingdom.
The middle ranks used to contain six kingdoms, but after the accident of the demon attacks, it came down to merely three, the Western Sky Kingdom, Divine Crane Kingdom, and the Sea Dragon Kingdom.
The other three that were erased were made into one, but it has three parts, Southern, Eastern, and Western Barbarian Wasteland.
The other three kingdoms wanted to take it for themselves, but after taking a closer look, the territory isn't suitable for cultivators, the resources in the territory aren't any special in their eyes, the land is also almost dead as cracks and sands can be seen.
Then, they saw a few people still lived on it,
After that, it was named as Barbarian Wasteland, since there are three territories, these territories were named southern, eastern, and western barbarian wasteland.
There are still signs of life here, normal beasts and humans that managed to comply and live such a harsh environment.
Then, lastly, the three lowest Kingdoms.
The Zhi Huan Royal Kingdom, the Zhong Zi Imperial Kingdom State, and lastly, the largest amongst the three, the Lang Ya Great Kingdom.
The Lang Ya Great Kingdom is so large and was about to enter the middle-rank kingdom, but then...
"Kill all those that resist!"
"Take all their women and treasures!"
"Keep those that surrender alive! We'll need a lot of slaves after this!"

"KWAAAA!!"
"Hahahaha!"
One of the fortresses of the Land Ya Great Kingdom is being devoured by another force, blood and corpses can be seen on both sides, yet, the winner has already been decided.
A few managed to escape while others are fighting for their comrades to stay alive.
Chaos, utter chaos.
There are cultivators that managed to enter the fortress' stronghold and started the looting, all of the maids that couldn't evacuate were immediately taken as a reward, some even offered their bodies willingly in order for a chance of survival.
"Tell the King of their invasion!"
One of the generals howled. He used everything he has to kill as many as he can.
"Heavens, why must you let evil do as they please!" An old woman shouts as a sword came and stabs at her heart.
Only 1/10th of the fortress' population managed to escape safely, while those that were late are still getting slaughtered or taken as a slave.
But this chaos isn't only happening in this place, all parts of Lang Ya Great Kingdom is being attacked, also, the Zhong Zi Imperial State is preparing its defense, the Zhi Huan Royal Kingdom had made its move!
They are going to expand their territory!
But something is amiss, Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom is the weakest amongst all of the twelve kingdoms, how can they ama.s.s so many people at once!?
Both the Lang Ya Great Kingdom and Zhong Zi Imperial State had not much of a defense on their southern part and this caused Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's slaughtering momentum.
Until a message for help arrives at the upper-tier Kingdoms, they can definitely not do anything other than defending. The Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire had already separated themselves from the worldly affairs of the twelve kingdoms and only manages the recruits of new and aspiring geniuses, hence, they would only place their hands in when something utterly chaotic takes place.
Their main focus is to defend against the demon invasion that occurs every ten years!
Back to Mo Xie.
Bingyun and her group bid Wei Lin and her sect goodbye, Mo Xie told her to keep the weapon plan a secret from Bingyun first, which, Wei Lin readily accepted.
Ouyang Chen led them back to the flying mounts, and when he's about to climb one of the follower's mounts, Ouyang Chen chuckles and spoke: "I think there wouldn't be enough s.p.a.ce from their mount, how about riding my sister's mount?"
"That..." Mo Xie looked at the follower's mount, he could see a lot of s.p.a.ces. Ouyang Chen is definitely up to something.
"B-brother!" Bingyun couldn't help but shout as she looks at her brother and added: "Brother, why not let him go over your mount instead?"
Ouyang Chen chuckles: "Ah, I still have to hold your followers, I can't have them together with you all the time."
As Ouyang Chen spoke, he led all of Bingyun's followers to his mount, the latter's followers are all girls, and they couldn't really reject Ouyang Chen's 'kind gestures', and they really liked to be with him too. They didn't voice any complaints.
Mo Xie does not know the origin of these siblings, but surely, it is something far away from this current plain, he sighed. Since he couldn't really go against Ouyang Chen right now, he'll just play along.
Bingyun glared at Mo Xie before talking to her brother again: "How about you let him ride your mount too, that will be more comfortable."
Ouyang Chen chuckles, he immediately let his mount ascend the ground and spoke: "Hahaha, your brother is a male, having to ride with a person of the same s.e.x... That's definitely out of the line."
Bingyun's followers nodded: "Yes, it will be extremely uncomfortable for young master Chen."
"Yes, definitely."
"We will keep young master Chen safe for the whole journey, Young Miss should be confident with our skills."
Bingyun's followers commented one by one, Bingyung couldn't even believe her own followers as she spoke: "Y-you guys! Since when had you been my brother's followers!"
All of the followers chuckles, ignoring Bingyun's words, well, technically, they couldn't really ignore her, but Ouyang Chen spoke to them earlier about it.
Bingyun glared at Mo Xie before snorting and making her mount fly too. Mo Xie is about to be left behind, hence, he immediately climbs above the fiery bird's back.
Bingyun snorted: "Keep your distance from me, five meters is enough!"
Mo Xie couldn't help but smile wryly and spoke: "If I do that, I'd definitely fall."
Bingyun nodded: "That will be for the best."
Mo Xie sighed, he stayed silent as they flew up into the air. More conversations will be useless with Bingyun's current mood.
Still, Mo Xie started to think of a way to compensate Bingyun, he's the offender, hence, he didn't really want to have any sort of grudge from this lady.
After six hours, they had already traveled halfway through their destination, since it's already the afternoon, they need to find a place to rest.
Although they had pa.s.sed by a lot of villages and small sects, they couldn't stop there and decided to stop at a well-known place.
And just a few moments, Mo Xie saw signs of development as many scattered houses surround a ma.s.sive city wall, in the middle of the city wall, there's something that has the same shape as a mountain, it looked like a castle, but this one has many towers build on it.
Mo Xie still lack information and asked Bingyun: "What's that place?"
Bingyun wanted to ignore Mo Xie's question, but due to her personality and kind nature, she couldn't really do so and at the end of a three-second contemplation, she replied: "That's the Alchemist a.s.sociation, one of the four leading organization within your Fallen Leaf Continent."
"Your continent is vast, and the Alchemist a.s.sociation is an organization within your human territory that's on par or even a little stronger than Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, still, it's the lowest amongst the four other organization, so you don't have to be proud of it."
Mo Xie couldn't help but chuckle, he merely asked what that place is called yet, he received so many answers that he has no knowledge about.
With Bingyun's words, Mo Xie immediately figured out two things, Bingyun's group isn't from this continent, and the other one is that, other than the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, there are still four other organizations that rivals it within the continent.
Mo Xie looked at the northern skies and thought; 'Aiqing is on her journey to the Demon Race's territory, I wonder how she's doing now...'
