Chapter 943: Everlasting Divine City
Crimson Leaf was the central area of Crimson Territory. There were a total of eight continents.
The half-demon alliance branch was located on Profound Continent, the most barren of the group.
“That small shop you’re going to will only result in losses. You need to head to Everlasting Divine City in Profound, that place has thousands and thousands of shops, maybe the best marketplace in all of Sixth Central. You’ll see more things there than you have your entire life.” Liu Suzi said.
Feiyun had told her about his plan of selling corpses for spirit stones. She thought that he was a country bumpkin who has never been to an actual city before.
She pondered for a moment before suggesting: “I have free time today anyway, I’ll take a villager like yourself and show you the prosperity of a big city in Crimson Leaf.”
“I can’t impose on you, Young Noble.” He found her to be different and more amicable than before.
The same contempt wasn’t there any longer. It looked as if she had thought more highly of him after he killed Xiao Tianyue.
“Stop blabbering, you can’t get inside without me anyway.” She glared at him.
“Ah, then please, lead the way. Once I’m done selling, I’ll treat you to a meal.” He smiled.
“That depends on if you can keep up.” She turned into a purple ray and soared over a cliff, still wanting to test his cultivation.
Crimson Leaf repressed power and cultivation. However, those at their level could still move at incredible speed.
He chuckled and used Swift Samsara to catch up. It didn’t take long before he was next to her.
“What’s your technique, it’s not bad.” He smiled.
She was as fast as a swallow. Due to being shrouded in a purple aura, it became difficult to see her.
She was relatively surprised to see him keeping up. However, she didn’t show it on her face: “A clan’s technique, Soaring Lightning. What about you, half-demon, how are you keeping up?”
“I’ll tell you if you can keep up with me.” He smirked before doubling his speed. His hair was pulled straight back from the wind.
She snorted and closed her paper fan. Lightning arcs emanated from her before she became a lightning bolt instead of a ray.
Two hours later, Feiyun landed outside of Everlasting Divine City. It resembled a dragon laying down, stopping anyone from moving forward. It emitted an ancient aura as well.
“A city with a long history.” He activated his heavenly gaze and saw numerous qi images in there - Lotus Ocean, White Dragon Piercing the Sun, Lord of the Nine Firmaments…
This was definitely a great place for cultivation. These cities were the homes of the big shots and mighty sects.
Those with properties here all enjoyed immense authority and wealth. They weren’t to be trifled with. The main branches of medial clans were usually here too.
“Half-demon, how are you faster than me?!” She finally landed, clearly inferior.
“Can’t tell you since you’ve lost.” He smiled.
“Give me that movement technique, you can name the price.” She only cared about the technique.
“Not for sale.” He refused.
She knew his personality and didn’t force the issue. The two of them entered the city.
A half-demon wasn’t allowed to enter a divine city but an exception was made thanks to Liu Suzi. She took out the badge of a territory lord and made the two guards get down on their knees.
This city was prosperous indeed. One could see top masters traveling everywhere. Their auras were truly intimidating.
Those in carriages or riding spirit beasts had powerful backgrounds - members of the medial clans or the city itself. Everyone made way for them.
Even the streets were made from special spirit stones capable of lasting for millions of years. The buildings had wondrous lusters, looking transcending and otherworldly.
The trees were special as well. Some looked like dragons with branches blotting out the sky.
One palace, in particular, stood out. The entrance was paved with expensive spirit stones; the pillars were carved from ten-thousand-year spirit wood. Beautiful women could be seen holding various musical instruments.
One of them was actually at the fourth level of Nirvana. Her skin was as white as snow. She appeared elegant and high class.
Liu Suzi noticed his stare and stopped: “That’s a flower paradise, the place for men to seek joy and to show off their talents and wealth.” [1]
“It has a fourth-level cultivator?” He asked.
“Hmph, that’s nothing. There are women there capable of killing medial successors or are just as strong as Heaven’s Emergence paragons.” Liu Suzi smiled: “If you are interested, we can visit one tonight. Maybe the successors there will come to like us.”
He shook his head: “We’ll decide later tonight, I want to exchange corpses for stones first.”
“True, if you don’t have money in this city, you’re nothing even if you’re from a medial clan.” She said: “Everlasting’s largest market is named Heavendream, one of the largest in all of Sixth Central. It has auction houses, treasure floors, gambling halls, and on and on. Of course, they only take in rich customers. If the transaction amount isn’t at least one hundred million, you won’t even be able to get through the gate.”
“You seem very familiar with this place as if it belongs to your family.” Feiyun joked.
“Darn right.” Liu Suzi waved her paper fan and led Feiyun inside. She knew that he had enough money after the spoils won from the battlefield.
“I heard you captured a royal white spider. If you put her on the auction house, she’ll fetch a sky-high price. The heretical lords are tired of regular women so they’re interested in demonesses. The upper echelons of the medial clans also like to show off by collecting demon girls. I see that you’re not interested in women, you should sell her. I’ll have someone give you a fair appraisal.”
“Wrong, I’m interested in both beautiful women and demonesses.” He smiled.
“Get out of the way! Eighth Young Lord is getting through, you’re courting death!” Not far from them was a resplendent carriage being pulled by a seven-headed lion.
It smashed several passersby out of the way. Ahead was a gray-haired mortal tottering with a toddler.
Feiyun and Suzi flew out at the same time. Feiyun grabbed the old man up in the air and gently placed him to the side. Suzi did the same for the child.
“I didn’t expect you to have compassion.” Feiyun glanced at her.
Suzi didn’t bother arguing with him. She put the child down, tidied up her robe, and waved her paper fan again.
The carriage suddenly stopped. Eighth Lord Gu lifted the curtain and smiled at Liu Suzi: “It’s a pleasure to see you, Young Noble Zi.”
He no longer had the same respectful tone as before but sounded as if he was her superior.
“No, it’s my pleasure to meet one of the six geniuses.” Suzi smiled back.
“Hahaha, true!” The young lord laughed and moved on.
Feiyun went back to her side and said: “This doesn’t seem right, I remember that last time, he was afraid of you. Haha, how interesting.”
Suzi had an ugly expression as she sneered: “He got the bloodline of the Bloodhorn Pseudo-Saint and might become a big shot later on. His cultivation soared too, far exceeding his peers. He replaced Xiao Tianyue as one of the six now.”
“I see, no wonder why he’s so arrogant now.” freeweb(n)ovel.com
Power determined everything in this world. Liu Suzi might be a princess in the faction of a territory lord. However, there were many princesses while the Gu only had one Eighth Lord Gu.
