No one knew what was going through his mind as he sat on the first floor of the Rootless Black City Union with a calm face.
He had just received definite news that the matter between Ning Cheng and the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce was also directly related to him. Six years ago he had gone to see a female Cultivator of the Cultivation Tripod called Yan Ji at the Sky Catcher Stone, that Yan Ji was a stunningly beautiful and attractive figure even in a normal continent, let alone in this birdless void place. Naturally, he took an instant liking to Yan Ji.
In order to help him, Gou Yishan of the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce joined forces with the guards of the City Lord’s residence to force Yan Ji out of the Heaven Catching Stone, and it was then that hatred was formed.
Now, during the fight between the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce and Ning Cheng, it had gone up in smoke, and even the Chamber Master, Pu Leng, and the Chamber’s other Life Robbing Realm expert, Si Pingxuan, had been killed. The Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s premises building had even been razed to the ground by Ning Cheng and a ‘This Place is for Sale’ sign was put up. At the same time, all the fellows in the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s merchant buildings and rest houses in Rootless Black City had fled. And all of these sites were similarly sealed by Ning Cheng and hung with the words ‘For Sale’.
Throughout the entire process, there was no one to stop them. Despite the desperate request from the Vice President of the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce for everyone to come together to deal with Ning Cheng, the response was given.
Six years ago, Gou Gou Yishan, who was an accessory, had been *dropped*, and the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce that Gou Gou Yishan was a member of had also been *dropped*, and he, the main culprit, was still in the clear up until now. Continuity Ji was not an idiot, he definitely did not believe that Ning Cheng did not intend to find him because he was scornful.
A person who could even destroy the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce would obviously not be scornful of a young city lord like him. Continuity Ji was not as idiotic as Pu Leng, who directly hit Ning Cheng’s cave place in the Northern City District. He was not so arrogant that he was more powerful than the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce. Once he dared to hit on Ning Cheng’s cave, he would be giving people an excuse, just like the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce.
He was able to be on a par with Pu Leng in Rootless Black City, not with his power, but with the power of his father, Sequai, with the strength of the City Lord’s Palace.
Continuously, he did not know how long he had been sitting there, before he stood up and said, “The matter of going to the Void to search for the black yuan stone mine will be put off for a while, and he will return to the City Lord’s Mansion immediately.”
……
Everyone who lived in Rootless Black City knew that something big had happened in the city. That was that a newly arrived cultivator named Ning Cheng had single-handedly destroyed the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, while carving out the Silver Thunder Chamber’s territory as his place. This move was made without the consent of any party.
Despite the fact that land was expensive and difficult to purchase in Midtown, no one dared to buy the land that Ning Cheng had circled. Likewise, no one went looking for trouble with Ning Cheng or just snatched away the land that Ning Cheng had circled.
The whole city was talking about this matter, and the whole city knew what was going on.
This matter might have ended completely with Ning Cheng’s extermination of the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, or perhaps this matter had just begun.
Those who were familiar with the cause of this matter were very clear that this matter had not really ended. With the kind of character Ning Cheng had shown in having vengeance, he would never exterminate the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce and let go of his main enemy, Continuity Chi.
As long as it was still in Rootless Black City, no one would overlook the Rootless Black City’s City Lord’s Palace. The most mysterious person in Rootless Black City, and the one with the greatest power, was Rootless Black City’s City Lord, Sequanzhi Kai.
It had been hundreds of years since Seokai had gone into seclusion, but it was not as if he did not appear. Forty years ago, a monk came to Rootless Black City. This monk, for reasons unknown, had actually beheaded Sequan Ji in Rootless Black City.
As a result, the secluded Kai came out of seclusion at the first opportunity, and not only preserved the original spirit of Sequanzhi in the shortest possible time, but also chased him out of Rootless Black City and killed the monk in the void. Afterwards, Kai helped Sequanzhi to reshape his physical body and closed down again.
This incident seemed small, but no one dared not take it to heart. That monk was a strong man of the Robust Life realm, otherwise he would not have been able to kill Sequence of Wisdom, who had many guards. It was such a Robust Life Realm powerhouse who had left the Rootless Black City and entered the void, but was still caught and killed by Sequan Kai.
So don’t look at the fact that Kai never shows his face, as long as he is still in Rootless Black City, the Rootless Black City’s City Lord’s Palace is the most powerful place here.
Right now, the Rootless Black City’s Sequanzhi had not made a move, and Ning Cheng had not taken the initiative to look for Sequanzhi, all of them were waiting and watching, or at least waiting until this matter was completely over before they dared to buy the land that Ning Cheng had circled.
……
In the city lord’s residence of the Rootless Black City, Sequence of Wisdom had gathered almost all the powerful people who could make a move here.
“Young City Lord, do we still have to go to the void to search for the black yuan stone mine?” The one who spoke was a seventh level of the Transformation Tripod guard beside Sequanzhi, who had been following Sequanzhi for decades and had always been loyal.
“What’s your opinion?” Continued Quantum of Wisdom Continued Quantum of Wisdom said as he faintly glanced at this guard.
This guard hesitated for a moment and said, “I think that Ning Cheng is just too arrogant, if we go out, we might be followed by this person.”
“You think I’m afraid of that Ning Cheng?” Continuing Qianyu Zhi’s tone remained flat.
The guard hurriedly said in fear, “No, how could my City Lord’s House be afraid of him, a small Sea Breaking Realm cultivator? My thought is that I’m not afraid of one thing but just in case.”
“I’m afraid you’re dying for me to leave Rootless Black City and continue to dig the black yuan stone mine, right?”
“Ah ……”
Continuing to ignore the guard, Continuing to ignore the guard, he tapped his finger on the coffee table in front of him and said in a chatty tone, “Forty years ago, a man named Monk Shen extinguished my physical body. My father killed that Monk Shin ……”
The guard remained bowed, listening to the words of the young city lord in front of him.
When he said this, Continuity Ji suddenly looked up at this guard and asked, “Shen Zimmer, after your master destroyed my fleshly body back then, I still kept you by my side after all these years, do you know why?”
Hearing Sequence of Wisdom’s words, this guard’s face changed and he subconsciously took several steps back. He did not make any bewildered appearance; since the other party had said his name, it meant that his affairs had been revealed long ago.
“You don’t need to make a move, with your cultivation level you don’t stand half a chance here. If I were to kill you, I wouldn’t even have to lift a little finger.” Continued Quantum of Wisdom said indifferently.
The guard suddenly raised his hand and grabbed out a black lamp, saying coldly, “Continuity Ji, you actually knew that I was Monk Shen’s disciple long ago.”
He did not make a move, he knew that Sequan Zhi had not lied to him, there were Sequan Zhi’s guards everywhere here, with his cultivation at the seventh level of the Tripod Transformation, he would not be able to make any waves at all.
Continued Quantum of Wisdom stood up and surprisingly turned his back to Shen Zimo, “I have offended many people, leaving you by my side is a reminder to myself to stay most alert at all times. The good thing is that I have done quite well over the years, at least those who wanted me dead have all been turned into dry bones. So you are to be credited and I should be grateful.”
Continued Quantum of Wisdom looked back at Shen Zimo and said very seriously.
Shen Zimo’s face turned miserable white, and he then realised that his heart was not even on the same level as this Sequence of Wisdom in front of him. For decades, he had been someone else’s stepping stone, a millstone, and poorly he had been looking for revenge.
Knowing that he no longer had a chance, Shen Zimo no longer bothered to argue and lifted the black lamp in his hand and tapped it towards his brow.
A red coloured damask swept over and directly encircled Shen Zimo’s wrist, making it impossible for his black lamp to tap above his own brow.
“Continuing to measure wisdom you beast, if you want to kill or torture feel free to do so, see if you Master Shen will frown?” Shen Zimo roared in anger.
Continuing to sit down once again, Continuity Ji laughed lightly, “Why should I kill you? After raising you for so many years, how could I suddenly kill you? It’s quite a pity. Not only am I not going to kill you, I’ll even ask you to do me a favour and go to Ning Cheng’s place to make peace. As long as he’s willing to stop, it doesn’t matter if I suffer a little. He likes beautiful women, I like beautiful women too, and I still have a few beautiful female cultivators here that I haven’t done anything to, so if he’s willing, I can give them to him anytime.”
“You’re saying you want me to go and help you make peace?” Shen Zimmer stared blankly at Sequential Wisdom, he was sure that something was wrong with this, but what was wrong, he just couldn’t say.
“That’s right, I just want you to help me to make peace. Ning Cheng was able to destroy the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, he is very strong, I hope that he can take the place of the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce and gain a foothold in Rootless Black City. Also tell him that the Black Origin Stone Mine we found this time is as much as ten billion Black Coins, and as long as he is willing, half of the Black Origin Stone Mine here will be his.” Continued Quantum of Wisdom’s tone was warm and gentle, without any hint of coercion.
Shen Zimo winced for no reason, he suddenly felt that it was simply a sadness to live and fight with such a person’s yin.
…….
The quadrangle where Ning Cheng lives in the North City has been incomparably quiet since the explosion here, and no one has come to disturb it until now.
Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei had long since made plans to counter out of the Rootless Black City at any moment, one reason why they had not left was that there was still no place to gain a foothold in the void. Another was that Ning Cheng knew that as long as he was strong enough, actually exterminating the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce would not be a big deal.
At this moment, Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei were discussing in the quadrangle, the pit in the quadrangle that had been blasted out by Ning Cheng had long been disposed of by Ji Luofei.
The spoils of war obtained were also completely sorted out by Ning Cheng, and together with the several Cultivators of the Transformation Tripod he had killed earlier, he had obtained a total of over 13 million black coins. Unfortunately, the rings of several important cultivators from Pu Leng had collapsed and were not obtained. As for the rest of the magic treasures and such, Ning Cheng did not fancy any of them.
“Hehe, this fellow is quite bold, he even dares to come to my place.” Ning Cheng suddenly said with a cold laugh.
Ji Luofei hurriedly asked, “Who is it that has come?”
“It’s that 8th level Cultivator from the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce who escaped before, he came over through the method of concealing his form. But under our cave’s protective formation, it would be a dream to conceal one’s form. I believe that this fellow was able to escape among eleven people, so he shouldn’t be so stupid.” Ning Cheng said with a heave.
Ji Luofei was just about to ask another question when she heard a voice come in, “Yan Fu has come to pay his respects to Brother Ning.”
