“What I mean is that we should not touch this person, and even pretend not to know about this matter.” Another man at the ninth level of the Transformation Tripod next to the old woman said indifferently.
The old woman laughed coldly, “Ham Yingqiu, I didn’t expect you to become less and less courageous the more you live. Even a mere new cultivator is too scared to even breathe out loud.”
The man called Ham Yingqiu, who was at the ninth level of the Transformation Tripod, said back in a cold tone, “If you knew what this newcomer had done again not long ago, you wouldn’t be saying that.”
“Done what?” The old woman asked subconsciously, and it was the rest of the people inside the room who also looked at the man.
Ham Yingqiu said indifferently, “He leveled the Silver Thunder Rest Inn and instantly killed Gou Gao Yishan. Not a single person in the Silver Thunder Rest Inn who belonged to the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce got away, and was killed by this man.”
The people inside the room all looked at Ham Yingqiu in shock, it was not the first time or twice that a newcomer came to Tian Shi to be arrogant, and they had seen many such things. But such as this newcomer who dared to level the Silver Thunder Rest Inn, they really hadn’t seen it before. Not to mention one person, even he, Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce, would not dare to level the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s resting house on the Catching Rock.
“That’s not all, after this person eradicated the Silver Thunder Merchant House, he simultaneously put down the word that the day he came to Rootless Black City would be the day the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce would be extinguished.”
After hearing Ham Yingqiu finish, the old woman opened her mouth for a moment before saying, “The Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce didn’t even make a move against him?”
“Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Guild Master Pu Leng is not in Rootless Black City, to make a move against such a person, huh, without two Life Robbing Realm experts, do you think you can? My guts are small, Senior Sister Fei has more guts than me, why don’t Senior Sister Fei go and capture that fellow called Ning Cheng, how about that?”
Ham Yingqiu, however, did not let go of the dumbfounded old woman and still added a sentence without relent.
The white-haired old man sitting at the top waved his hand, “Alright, this person was able to instantly kill Gou Gao Night Mountain, he definitely won’t be a Transformation Tripod cultivator. Even if he is, he’s not a normal Tripod cultivator. Cecil has always been arrogant at the Catching Stone, and sooner or later he will cause trouble for my Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce. Now that he has been killed, he deserves it.
Since the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce is bound to deal with this person, I, the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce, will stay put for the time being and pretend that there is no such thing. If the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce kills this person, we will go over and stab him. If the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce seeks our cooperation, we can also take the opportunity to talk.”
This white-haired old man was Mao Xiu Xuan, the vice president of the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce, and the meaning of his words was understood by all of them. That was that although Cecil was not good, he was still a member of the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce. The other party had killed Cecil, and the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce was definitely going to take revenge. Now, since this person had also offended the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce could make profits on the side and see what the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce had to say first.
……
Ning Cheng was very strange, he had been cultivating at the Heavenly City Merchant Building in Catching Rock for two months and his cultivation was almost at the peak of the seventh level of the Sea Breaking Realm, but no one from the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce had come looking for him yet.
In two months’ time, Yi Zhuzhu had also recovered well. In front of various pills and dietary supplements, Yi Zhuzhu not only had a short head of black hair, but also no longer had that skin and bones look. Yi Zhuzhu was only at the early stage of Yuan building, although she was able to clear her stomach, Ji Luofei still managed to get some dietary supplements for her to take.
Although her big eyes still looked heartbreaking on her thin face, she had a lot more life in her.
She also no longer looks the same seven or eight years old as she did then, and slightly appears older.
Ning Cheng did not continue to cultivate, his cultivation was too spirit stone intensive, in the Rootless Black City spirit stones were very important, without them nothing could be done. Also staying at the Heavenly City Rest Inn was a little too expensive, even though Mu Cunjian had pressed the price down to the lowest, he didn’t even charge Yi Zhu Zhu for his stay, this still wasn’t the way to go on.
Originally, he had wanted to wait for the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce to come and pick up the Heavenly Stones, and he would kill a group of them and then go to Rootless Black City to kill another group. Now since the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce was not coming, there was no need for him to wait any longer. When he arrived at Rootless Black City, he would take out the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce just the same.
“Luo Fei, we’re leaving and going to the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce.” Two months later, Ning Cheng made his decision.
Hearing that Ning Cheng was leaving, Mu Cunjian, the Steward of the Heavenly City Rest Building, made it a point to send Ning Cheng on the Void Ship to Rootless Black City, and at the same time gave Ning Cheng a message. The reason why the people from the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce did not come was because the Chamber Master, Pu Leng, had left Rootless Black City with many of the Chamber’s experts and was heard to be on an errand.
Also going with them were people from the Black City Dan Association and the City Lord’s Palace, and the Young City Lord, Sequence of Wisdom, had also gone with them. It had been almost half a year since they left, and these people had not yet returned.
This news greatly reassured Ning Cheng, since the experts of the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce were not there, it was the best thing for him to take the opportunity to destroy the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce first. As for that Young City Lord, Sequanzhi, he was even more determined to kill him. However, he knew that he had to eat his meals one by one, and he had to do it one by one.
……
When Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei brought Yi Zhuzhu on board, some cultivators came forward to greet them. There was no one who did not know that Ning Cheng was a big name in the Catching Sky Stone. Although they had never met Ning Cheng in person, Ning Cheng’s battle crystal ball was sold everywhere.
Even the steward in charge of the Void Ship had helped Ning Cheng arrange a nice room. More cultivators, on the other hand, were simply in the large ship’s cabin.
Ning Cheng was also a little speechless in his heart, this world was like that. He had leveled the Silver Thunder Rest Inn, it was entirely because the people of this Rest Inn were too shameless, now these people seemed to see him as an unreasonable and ruthless person. Surely it was true that people were being bullied and ruthless people had benefits?
It wasn’t very far from the Sky Catcher Stone to Rootless Black City, and the Void Ship followed a fixed route for three days before arriving. Even if it was an immensely huge Void Ship, in such a place, it still had to follow a fixed line, otherwise there was still the danger of being torn apart by the void.
This Void Ship also had a grade, and this kind of Void Ship that travelled from the Sky Catcher Stone to the Rootless Black City should be the lowest grade of that kind.
Three days later, the void ship stopped outside an immense city, and a white road, about two or three feet wide, stretched from where the void ship had stopped to the edge of the city walls in the distance.
Ning Cheng guessed that the huge city must be the Rootless Black City, which was not black, but a grey city. Endless and dense forbidden systems and formations filled the outside of the city, some of these forbidden systems were artificially arranged and some were natural. In such dense forbidden systems, divine sense simply could not sweep in.
Being outside this Rootless Black City, there was endless emptiness everywhere, and when one’s divine sense swept out, it gave one a feeling of panic. Ning Cheng knew that this was because he rarely came outside of the void. Even Ning Cheng’s divine sense could not sweep through the periphery of the Rootless Black City.
Numerous cultivators walked up that white road to the Rootless Black City. Ji Luofei pulled Yi Zhuzhu along with Ning Cheng and followed among the many cultivators as they entered the Rootless Black City.
The Rootless Black City’s gates were already wide open, and two early stage of Tripod Transformation cultivators were standing at the entrance. Every cultivator who entered Rootless Black City had to purchase an identity jade token here. Engrave your name and breath and appearance into it, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter Rootless Black City.
Each identity jade token was worth ten thousand black coins, and after the three of them had purchased three identity jade tokens, Ning Cheng was also given three small manuals.
It was similar to the survival manual that the fellow from the Heavenly City Rest Inn had given back then, with slightly more content. It was the zoning of Rootless Black City, which had been divided into a total of five zones.
The East and South Cities are where the wealthy cultivators live, and generally the more powerful cultivators also live in this area. The price of land and caves here is also the second highest, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford them.
The Northern City is where the middle-class cultivators live, and some of the scattered cultivators here form all sorts of Void Adventure Squads to enter the Void in search of black yuan stones. The Western City was where the poorest cultivators lived and where the spiritual energy was the weakest. Usually every time the Rootless Black City suffered a siege from the Void Beasts, it also started from the Western City.
Central City is the centre of Rootless Black City, where the rulers of Rootless Black City reside, as well as some large chambers of commerce, fleets of ships, etc. all gather in this place. The price of land and cave houses here is even higher, among the highest in the whole Rootless Black City. This was not something that could be bought just by having black coins, but also by having status.
The manual was very straightforward and did not conceal anything halfway. Moreover, the manual also marked out the distribution of some of the main chambers and streets in Rootless Black City.
Ning Cheng easily found the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce in it, which was based in the Midtown area of Rootless Black City. On the pamphlet, there were also some descriptions of caves for sale and cave rentals.
Numerous cultivators who had entered Rootless Black City dispersed, and these people either went to buy cave houses themselves, or went to rent places. There were many resting buildings in Rootless Black City, but resting stacks were rare. To live in Rootless Black City for a long time, one simply could not afford to stay in a rest house.
Ji Luofei had never looked at Ning Cheng, and she would go along with whatever Ning Cheng did. Yi Zhuzhu was even less likely to make up her mind, carefully holding Ji Luofei’s hand, her bright eyes looking east and west. From time to time, she also touched the ring in her hand, a ring that Ning Cheng had given her, which not only contained various cultivation pills and spirit stones, but also many talismans and magic treasures.
“I want to go and exterminate the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce first, do you have any good ideas?” Ning Cheng had never given up on exterminating the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce. No matter what, he and the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce were inseparable, even if he didn’t make a move, when the people from the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce returned, they would still make a move against him.
What’s more, he had always felt uncomfortable in his heart if he didn’t exterminate the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce.
However, Ning Cheng also knew very well in his heart that it would definitely be a very dangerous thing for him to start making moves to exterminate the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce immediately after he had just arrived here. It would be best to find a way back first before making his move. Otherwise, even the guards of the Rootless Black City would not let him go. Unless he was so strong that he really made all of them scornful and no one dared to stand out and talk nonsense.
