Yunxiao’s purpose was to distract the sight of various powers in Shangyang and buy Yanwu more time. He was arrogant, but he was not a fool after all. Yanwu’s current strength was not enough to fight against any power in Firecrow Empire. But, since he had already stirred up a storm, he did not mind making it more chaotic.
His action immediately entered the intelligence network of various major powers. Several of them sent chariots after him, but to no avail. Nevertheless, they were sure that his chariot was heading toward Skyfragrance Empire. As a result, a series of events about Skyfragrance Empire also entered the eyes of the various major powers.
“Aren’t you afraid of those old monsters in the city coming after you?”
“Why should I be afraid when you are here?”
“But, those old monsters are all Martial Emperors!”
“You can hold them for me for a while, and with Tigerking’s speed, it is more than enough for me to escape.”
“Fu*k!”
The chariot sped through the sky and soon entered the territory of Skyfragrance Empire. Of the three empires in the south of Heavenly Martial Realm, Skyfragrance was the strongest, and more than half of its warriors were in Qinghai. Although it was a town, Qinghai was actually larger than any ordinary city, with at least tens of millions of people. Its prosperity was indeed second to none in the empire.
From afar, a large number of hoverchariots could already be seen stopped over the town. It was a sight that could not be found in any other city. Most of them were Bluewolves, but there were many Tigerkings as well.
There were also a few larger chariots hovering in the sky. An ancient, heavy artifact aura emanated from them, and a few huge arrays were carved on their surfaces, glowing faintly and magnificent to look at. They were none other than Blueluans—the sixth-tier hoverchariots.
Yunxiao was somewhat shocked. Although a sixth-tier chariot was just one tier higher than a fifth-tier one, the difference between them was like heaven and earth. To be more precise, a sixth-tier Blueluan chariot was already a warship-level existence.
Even sixth-tier alchemists could not refine it alone, and it was only possible to be completed by the joined efforts of at least five sixth-tier alchemists. But, in the southern part of Heavenly Martial Realm, which power had five or more sixth-tier alchemists? Even in the other three parts of the realm, sixth-tier warships were very rare.
“Hehe! What an eyeopener, right boy?”
Duan Yue burst with joy when he saw Yunxiao’s shocked look. Since he knew the latter until now, Yunxiao had been so calm and composed, as if there was nothing that could concern him. He had long wanted to beat the other hard.
“An eyeopener?” Yunxiao scoffed, “I was just shocked by how crudely these sixth-tier warships are made. This is the first time I know a Blueluan warship can be made into such a rubbish standard!”
“You!”
Duan Yue was very angry. In the past, he did not like these warships either, and the main reason was that he did not have one. But now, he clearly stood on the other side of the fence. “You know nothing, boy!” he said fiercely. “Do you know to whom the only two Blueluan warships here belong? The left one belongs to Thousand Cranes Court, and it is said that they obtained it from the Sea of Soul Formation with an astronomical figure of Primordial Stones. You should know about the Thousand Cranes Court, right? Its status in Skyfragrance Empire is equivalent to that of Jutian Sect in Firecrow. As for the one to the right, it is owned by the Constellation Sect of the East. Have you heard of it before? Well, by looking at your ignorant face, I know you never heard of it. Let me tell you, the Constellation Sect…
Yunxiao sneered and interrupted him, “Constellation Sect mainly cultivates the Stormy Waves Technique, which requires a large quantity of sea beast demon cores as supplements, so they have a high demand for sea beasts. No wonder they attach so much importance to Qinghai. But, according to what I know, their main strength is still concentrated in the Skyabyss City of the East Sea, which is the place with the most abundant sea beasts in the Heavenly Martial Continent. And their Sect Leader, Lord Constellation, loves little girls who are thirteen or fourteen years old and must be virgins, and he cannot sleep if he doesn’t fu*k a few every day. For his unique hobby, Constellation Sect had purposely constructed a palace to keep little girls. After the girls’ virginity is taken away by Lord Constellation, those he likes will stay as serving ladies, and those he dislikes will be killed or released.”
“So evil? He should be killed!”
Duan Yue scolded dully. He did not know why Constellation Sect needed sea beasts, he had never heard of Skyabyss City, and no one had ever told him the name of their sect leader and his hobby. The only thing he knew about the sect was that it was very strong. After he was interrupted by Yunxiao, he could not find a word to say, so he swallowed and said annoyingly, “I don’t believe you know everything in this world!”
Yunxiao laughed triumphantly and said, “There are a lot of things I don’t know, but they are all beyond your comprehension. Haha! You are only bringing yourself troubles by comparing intelligence with me!”
Frustrated, Duan Yue paid him no mind. He found that when he was with Yunxiao, he would end up like a child who knew nothing.
“Let’s go down and have a look. I want to buy something.” Suddenly, Yunxiao stopped the Tigerking and made it hover over Qinghai as he looked down at the bustling city, his eyes gleaming.
“Haha! A boy is always a boy!” Duan Yue burst into laughter as he finally got something on Yunxiao, and he mocked, “You are indeed a village boy who has never seen the world before. Well, it’s good to take a look at Qinghai, so that you can tell your family what you saw when you get back.”
Yunxiao ignored him and landed directly on a huge square. A lot of hoverchariots were stopped here, which was a specific landing and take off area for them.
Due to its unique marine resources, the once small town of Qinghai had gone through countless expansions, and its current size was not smaller than any city. Its streets were packed with warriors whose body emanated Primordial Qi waves, and over half of the Skyfragrance’s armed forces were stationed here, maintaining the order.
They had only taken a few steps when they ran into a patrol team of over twenty people. Yunxiao was surprised to find that the leader was a Martial King, and the weakest team members were Great Martial Masters. What puzzled him even more was that there were numerous teams like this in Qinghai. It was a great shock to him, and he decided that Yanwu’s future forces must be greater than that of Qinghai.
After a brief tour of the town, he had a general idea of the situation here. Many trading companies and powers in the South depended on the marine resources in Qinghai to make a living, and even three of the seven permanent members of the Commerce Alliance had set up their branches here.
Myriad Treasures Store was one of them.
Although its facade was not very conspicuous, no one dared to underestimate its existence, because it was not only the largest commerce organization in the Heavenly Martial Continent, but also one of the superpowers.
“Welcome, my distinguished guests! May I help you?” A beautiful girl with a curvy figure greeted them. On her exposed waist was hung a plate, which wrote ’17’. She looked at them with a sweet smile, and her eyes eventually rested on Duan Yue.
Inside, people were coming and going, and there were over twenty pretty girls in special uniforms. Most of them were serving customers while a few stood orderly in front of a counter, waiting for the next batch of customers.
Duan Yue pulled at Yunxiao’s arm and said hurriedly, “Boy, don’t be fooled by its insignificant facade. Do you know what this symbol represents? It is the symbol of the number one commerce organization on the continent, the Myriad Treasures Store, and those who can trade here are no ordinary…”
“I want to see your top person in charge.” After listening for a few words, Yunxiao flicked Duan Yue’s hand away and gave him a disdainful look.
“Top…top person in charge?” Yunxiao’s words stunned not only Duan Yue but also the beautiful girl. When they came in, she had instinctively sensed Duan Yue’s extraordinary aura, so her question was directed at him. But now, she began to study Yunxiao.
Myriad Treasures Store’s branch here received many customers every day, but only once in a few months would a customer ask for the top person in charge upon stepping through the door, and most of them were sent by the top management to inspect the business. She could not help but reassess Yunxiao’s identity. ‘Could the old man with extraordinary aura be this old man’s servant?’
Meanwhile, Duan Yue’s face grew green. Although Myriad Treasures Store was running a business, it was also a superpower. If Yunxiao was here to make trouble, they would be dead before they knew how they were killed.
The girl was calm. After all, she had seen all kinds of customers. She immediately put away her casual look and replaced it with a serious but charming smile. “Young Master, may I know what your business is with our branch manager?”
“I have a business worth one million superior-grade Primordial Stones for you,” Yunxiao glanced around and said with an indifferent tone.
“One million superior-grade Primordial Stones!”
That startled the girl. Her face flickered with a hint of panic, but she looked mostly overjoyed. Hastily, she said, “Please come with me, Young Master! I will go and bring my branch manager to you.” She led Yunxiao and Duan Yue up the stairs, and the rest of the girls all looked envious. They could get commissions from the orders made by the customers they served. If an order worth one million superior-grade Primordial Stones were completed, the commission would be enough to let the girl retire early and comfortably.
After bringing them to a luxury meeting room, the girl bowed and left hurriedly to inform the branch manager. Duan Yue was extremely nervous as he watched Yunxiao admire the paintings on the walls. “Hey, stop fooling around! Are you serious? If not, there’s still time to run!”
“Calm down. Of course, I’m serious. Otherwise, how many lives do you think I have to create trouble here?” Yunxiao gave him a contemptuous look.
Only then did Duan Yue feel relieved. He had been in Qinghai for very long, and he naturally knew the horrors behind these powers.
A few moments later, they heard a loud voice coming through the door, “Welcome, my distinguished guests! Please pardon me for not coming to you sooner!”
An old man walked in with a big smile. The long robe he was clad in was the typical outfit for the Myriad Treasures Store’s person in charge. The girl from before was following gingerly behind him. “I’m You Kangshun, the manager of Myriad Treasures Store’s Qinghai branch. May I know your names, please?”
Yunxiao’s purpose was to distract the sight of various powers in Shangyang and buy Yanwu more time. He was arrogant, but he was not a fool after all. Yanwu’s current strength was not enough to fight against any power in Firecrow Empire. But, since he had already stirred up a storm, he did not mind making it more chaotic.
