Chapter 1775: Chapter 1619: We’ll Talk About It Later
On the wide street, the crowd surged, weaving through with hurried expressions. Everyone wore indifferent looks, yet compared to outside, where encounters often led to fighting and looting treasures, this place was indeed quite ’friendly’.
Lin Mo followed the flow of people, walking leisurely, observing his surroundings as he proceeded slowly.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Lin Mo raised his head. In the center of the city, a Five-pointed Star Array floated in mid-air, dripping down golden ’rain curtains’ like data codes. On closer inspection, these were descending golden
runes.
Under the golden Light Curtain stood a grand and majestic Temple.
"Those who can reside in that Temple are likely the rulers of this East City of the Sky Domain Continent!"
Lin Mo thought to himself.
According to the information from Luo Yi on the Jade Scroll, some cities in the Dark Demon Sea were controlled by a City Lord, whose strength was at least Star Domain Level Beginner!
"Brother, is this your first time in the Sky City Continent?" At this moment, a voice sounded beside Lin Mo.
Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, turned his head, and saw a young man with shifty eyes and a thin build, high cheekbones, smiling at him.
"How do you know it’s my first time here?" Lin Mo chuckled.
The other party was at a Star System Level Early Stage, and his aura wasn’t strong. In the Dark Demon Sea, he would likely be at the bottom tier, undoubtedly becoming a target for bullying. The shifty-eyed fellow chuckled, rubbing his hands, "My little brother is called All-knowing, within this Sky City Continent—no, within this Dark Demon Sea, there’s nothing I don’t know. I saw you not paying the Netherworld Stone at the city gate earlier, so I guessed
it’s your first time at the Sky City Continent."
"Oh?" Lin Mo was somewhat interested in him and asked, "Do you really know everything?"
"Of course, I, All-knowing, never brag." Saying this, he patted his chest, looking very boastful. The Dark Demon Sea was full of dangers, but also many opportunities. For guys like All-knowing, there were many in the Sky Domain Continent as well, old sly veterans mingling here. When encountering such ’newbies’, it was
All-knowing’s chance to make a fortune. All-knowing’s eyes rolled around, occasionally glancing at the Xuanyuan Sword on Lin Mo’s back. Although Lin Mo had sheathed the Xuanyuan Sword, one glance was enough to feel its sharpness. All-knowing knew Lin Mo must
be quite valuable, perhaps a genius disciple sent from a super sect or Star Domain Dynasty for training. Such genius disciples were usually quite generous.
"I indeed just arrived and need to know a lot of information. As long as your information is accurate, you won’t miss out on any benefits." Lin Mo said generously.
"Alright, alright, brother, what do you want to know? As long as you can afford the price, I, All-knowing, will tell you everything." All-knowing rubbed his palms, his eyes shining. This time, he’d stumbled upon a wealthy patron.
"This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s find a quieter place to chat." Lin Mo smiled and stepped forward.
All-knowing pursed his lips, thinking that this guy seemed a bit troublesome, muttering, "Well, well, money talks."
The two arrived at a relatively secluded spot, where Lin Mo waved his hand, enveloping them both in a purple light, "This way, no one can eavesdrop on our conversation." Saying this, Lin Mo didn’t hesitate to display his abundant True Yuan. The condensed, surging True Yuan made All-knowing’s expression change slightly; he knew Lin Mo was deliberately showing his strength as a warning not to lie to him
.
"As long as you tell me what I want to know honestly, you’ll certainly get your benefits, but if you lie, I’m not someone who takes kindly to it." Lin Mo’s lips curled upward into a sinister smile.
After all, this was the Dark Demon Sea, Lin Mo had to be extra careful, lest he got scammed.
"Of course, of course, I, All-knowing, never lie." All-knowing replied awkwardly, his demeanor becoming slightly more respectful. He had been mingling in this Sky City Continent for more than a decade, knowing that some true geniuses couldn’t be judged by surface cultivation alone. Like this young man in front of him, although he was only at a Star System Level Early Stage Cultivation, his true strength
might be on par with some Star System Level Intermediate Realm experts.
"What’s the name of the City Lord of this city? What level is he?" Lin Mo asked. "This city belongs to the East City of the Heavenly Domain Continent, which is divided into ’East, West, South, and North’ cities. Each city has a Star Domain Level City Lord, and this East City’s City Lord is named ’Cheng Jiao’, a Star Domain Level Beginner expert
!" All-knowing replied immediately.
Lin Mo squinted his eyes slightly, "Oh, a Star Domain Level Beginner expert, huh?" All-knowing’s eyes darted around, noticing that Lin Mo showed no expression change upon hearing the City Lord was a Star Domain Level expert, seemingly not caring at all, sending a shiver down his spine. Could this guy be a Devil Level
genius too? He’d heard that some Devil Level geniuses could contend with experts a whole realm above themselves.
"Does he also collect the Netherworld Stone and ensure the city’s safety?" Lin Mo asked. All-knowing hurriedly nodded, "Yes, you only need to pay ten Netherworld Stones, and after entering East City, you’ll be under the City Lord’s protection. Killing for treasures isn’t allowed, but with so many people inside the city, fights do occur often. As long as it doesn’t cause
deaths, the City Lord usually doesn’t intervene."
"Ten Netherworld Stones, with tens of thousands of entries and exits each day, that’s quite a substantial income." Lin Mo said enviously.
"By the way, is there a place to trade goods in this city?" Lin Mo asked.
With so many people gathering in East City, in addition to seeking adventure partners or resting and healing, there should be a place for ’trading markets’ and the like.
"Of course, near the plaza, there’s a trading venue, but it’s not managed. If you want to buy and sell stuff, just go there yourself." All-knowing replied.
Lin Mo nodded. Indeed, he saw many going towards the plaza earlier. "This is for you. If I need more information, I’ll come find you again." With that, Lin Mo directly took out a hundred Netherworld Stones and tossed them to All-knowing.
All-knowing’s eyes lit up, and he quickly stored the Netherworld Stones in his Space Ring, nodding continuously, "No problem, no problem. Young master, if you wish to find me, you can see me at the city gate." On this continent, since entering the city gate required the Netherworld Stone, it indicated that the main ’currency’ for transactions was the Netherworld Stone. As for soul coins, they were hardly useful to people here, as those coming to venture here were usually resourceful folks who wouldn’t lack soul coins on them.
