“I’ve run out of black coins, and I don’t have 10,000 black coins right now. Can you be a little more accommodating and let us stay in Rootless Black City for a while, and we’ll pay for it when we earn black coins?” A male cultivator with a somewhat embarrassed face carefully stood at the entrance of the city and begged for mercy from the two cultivators handling the identity jade tags.
Behind this male cultivator, there was also a female cultivator who pursed her lips and did not speak.
“You didn’t see the man standing on this side? Could it be that your butt is whiter than others?” The male cultivator at the entrance of the city who was handling the identity jade tags bellowed coldly, “If you don’t have any black coins, get lost and stand aside, so that others can go in first. After all the people on this side have gone in, you will come back to talk after you have gone to the void to dig for black yuan stones and earned a certain amount of black coins.”
The male cultivator’s face changed slightly, “This friend, we have just arrived at Rootless Black City and have no experience at all, wouldn’t we be looking for death to go digging for ores in the void at this time?”
“What business is it of mine if you’re looking for death or not?” The tone of this guard cultivator at the entrance of the city grew more and more disdainful.
The male cultivator was just about to continue speaking when he suddenly shouted with surprise in his eyes, “Sovereign Ning ……”
When Ning Cheng saw the long line of cultivators entering the Rootless Black City, he knew that these people should have just come over from the Heavenly Road, just like himself back then.
Immediately afterwards, he heard someone call out to him, a cultivator he didn’t know, at the second level of the Tripod Transformation. Behind this cultivator at the second level of the Tripod Transformation layer stood a female cultivator, however, he knew. This female cultivator was called Bu Mei, and it was with this female cultivator and Xin Hai from the Starry Law House when he had gone to the battlefield of the Great Liang True Kingdom and the Northern Shang True Kingdom to carry out his sect’s mission.
“Sovereign Ning.” When Bu Mei saw Ning Cheng, she also hurriedly went forward and bowed in greeting, completely different from when the two had first met. When Ning Cheng had first met with Bu Mei, this woman had not even given him a glance.
Ning Cheng had animosity towards the Zhangyi Dao Sect, but the main animosity was focused on Xu Anzhen. He really wouldn’t care about this Bu Mei of the Zhangyi Dao Sect.
“Lord Ning ……” The two Cultivators who were guarding the entrance of the Rootless Black City, when they saw Ning Cheng coming, they also hurriedly went forward to greet him.
They knew who Ning Cheng was better than anyone else. This person had destroyed the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce and killed the Young City Lord, Sequence of Wisdom. The Rootless Black City’s City Lord, Sequanze Kai, had gone after him, and to their surprise, Sequanze Kai had not returned, but he had returned of his own accord. Although they did not dare to imagine this outcome, the facts were placed here, and they did not dare to offend this Ning Cheng even if they offended anyone.
“You are?” Ning Cheng looked suspiciously at the male cultivator of the second level of the Transformation Tripod who named him Sovereign Ning, and ignored the two guards of the Transformation Tripod at the entrance of the city.
“Sovereign Ning, I am Shu Xing of the Star Luo Mansion. Because I was benefited by Sovereign Ning’s arrangement of the Heavenly Road formation, I came to the Heavenly Road with my daoist partner, Bu Mei.” The male cultivator hurriedly said respectfully.
Ning Cheng’s reputation was so great right in the Heaven Continent that no sect dared to be half-hearted, and he had even exterminated the Red Star Sword Sect. Because of his return, the Yin Yang Dao Sect, which had a grudge against the Lok Hong Sword Sect, also had to take the initiative to go to his door to make amends. Even if that was enough, I never thought that Patriarch Ning would still be so powerful when he arrived at Rootless Black City. Didn’t you see the way the two Guards of the Transformation Cauldron at the entrance of the city treated Sovereign Ning with respect?
The more Shu Xing thought about it, the more respectful he became, and he was even a little worried that Ning Cheng would be accountable to Bu Mei. After all, Bu Mei came from the Zhangyou Dao Sect, and which of the feuds between Ning Cheng and the Zhangyou Dao Sect was unknown in the Heaven Continent?
Ning Cheng glanced at Bu Mei and was even more puzzled in his heart. A person from the Zhan Eros Dao Sect as a Daoist couple, could it be that these two people were just like Chao He and Ban Miao Lei again? Or was this Bu Mei trying to use Shu Xing to cut off love?
However, Ning Cheng did not gossip about this matter and instead said, “I know Xin Hai from the Star Luo House, is he alright?”
“Senior Brother Xin is in the middle of seclusion, when I came to the Heavenly Road, he hadn’t come out of seclusion yet.” Shu Xing replied in a hurry.
“Hmm, why don’t you guys go in?” Ning Cheng asked knowingly.
Shu Xing hurriedly replied, “Because the cost of picking up the Heavenly Stones to get here is too great, and I don’t have enough spirit stones on me, so there is no way to enter the Rootless Black City.”
“Since that’s the case, you guys should go in with me.”
Ning Cheng finished casually, and looked at the two guards at the entrance of the city, “These two will go in with me, and you will help them get an identity jade tag.”
“But ……” The two Guards of the Transformation Tripod were a little hesitant.
It was 10,000 black coins to get an identity jade tag, Ning Cheng hadn’t said anything about the black coins, so how would they be allowed to do that? This was a source of black coins that the twelve powers had combined to earn. Even though one had been destroyed by Ning Cheng, eleven were still here.
Ning Cheng sneered and said, “If anyone has doubts, let him come to the City Lord’s Mansion to find me. I will be staying at the City Lord’s Mansion from now on.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng didn’t even bother to pay attention to these two guards and said to Shu Xing, “Come in with me.”
“Yes, yes ……” The one who answered yes in quick succession was not Shu Xing, but the two Guards of the Transformation Tripod who had stopped Shu Xing.
The meaning of Ning Cheng’s words was already very obvious, that was, he had already taken out the original City Lord of Rootless Black City, Seokai. With this kind of strength, if he dared to talk nonsense, people would raise their hands and destroy him. Right now, the most important thing for him was to hurry up and give feedback back on this matter.
Ning Cheng was clearly premeditated when he openly said such arrogant words, and he had come back with the aim of taking out these forces in Rootless Black City.
Of course he did not mean to kill all of these forces, that was meaningless. What he wanted to exterminate was the various disgusting rules of the shameless Yin Newcomer Black Coins of the Receiving Heavenly Stone, and the robbery by force that required a million spirit stones even to enter the city gate to get an identity jade token.
As for those cultivators who, by virtue of their status and strength, could do whatever they wanted in the Sky Catcher Stone and Rootless Black City, he had made up his mind to exterminate all of them.
The Heavenly Road leading to the Sky Catcher Stone in the Heaven Continent had already been arranged by him with formations, so that in the future, as long as one reached a certain level of cultivation in the Heaven Continent, one could enter the Sky Catcher Stone to the Rootless Black City through the Heavenly Road.
He had too many acquaintances and friends on the Celestial Continent, once he was no longer in Rootless Black City in the future, wouldn’t the people around him come here and be hacked to death? It was because of this that Ning Cheng had made up his mind to completely fix the Rootless Black City and the Sky Catcher Stone.
……
“Sovereign Ning, you live in the City Lord’s residence?” Shu Xing asked carefully and nervously, he hadn’t heard about Ning Cheng when he arrived here. However, he knew that the City Lord’s Mansion was the most powerful force in Rootless Black City, could it be that Sovereign Ning was serving in the City Lord’s Mansion?
“That’s right, but things aren’t what you think, it’s because the original City Lord was taken out by me, so I live in the City Lord’s Mansion.” Knowing what was in Shu Xing’s mind, Ning Cheng simply said directly.
Shu Xing’s mouth opened wide and did not even utter the word ah, he was simply too shocked. How long had Ning Cheng only been here and he had already killed the Rootless Black City’s City Lord? How much strength did this take? It was no wonder that the Guardian Cultivator of the Transformation Tripod at the entrance of the city did not dare to have half a word of nonsense.
“Shu Xing, I want to control Rootless Black City in the future, are you willing to do me a favour?” Ning Cheng knew that to control the entire Rootless Black City, he had to pull up his strength.
“Sovereign Ning, I am willing, I will follow Sovereign Ning in the future …… No, I will follow Sovereign Ning in the future ……” Shu Xing was able to cultivate to the second level of the Tripod Transformation, he was obviously not an idiot, as soon as Ning Cheng’s words came out, he understood what it meant.
……
Before Ning Cheng had even reached the entrance of the Rootless Black City’s City Master’s Mansion, the news of his return and his upcoming stay in the City Master’s Mansion had already spread throughout Rootless Black City.
The street at the entrance of Rootless Black City leading to the City Lord’s Residence in Midtown had long since been filled to capacity, with numerous cultivators who were in Rootless Black City crowding onto this street. Rootless Black City might be changing its city lord, and there was not a single person who did not care about this matter.
“Boom ……” An explosion sounded as Ning Cheng blew through the Rootless Black City City Lord’s Mansion’s protective formation with just one shot in the sky above the Rootless Black City Lord’s Mansion.
The cultivators of the City Lord’s Mansion who had long since learned of the news fled, none of them willing to stay and fight Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng did not kill all those cultivators who had escaped from the City Lord’s Mansion, these cultivators had all come from various interfaces just like him, the City Lord of the City Lord’s Mansion had been killed by him, who else dared to come out and resist?
In fact, the number of cultivators who remained in the City Lord’s Mansion was already very small. The young city lord had been killed and the city lord, Seokai, had not returned for several months, so cultivators who were slightly smarter had long guessed that something should have happened to the city lord.
These cultivators had either left the City Lord’s Mansion on excuses or had purposely gone out in search of a mission. Now that Ning Cheng had killed and returned, the cultivators who had stayed in the City Lord’s Mansion, which was not very large, had all fled.
……
At the same time, inside another luxurious building in Rootless Black City, dozens of powerful cultivators were having an emergency gathering here.
This building was the residence of the Rootless Black City’s Fate and Destruction Starship Fleet, which ranked second among the twelve great powers of Rootless Black City, just after the City Lord’s House.
Now that the Rootless Black City’s City Lord, Seokai, had been exterminated by Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng had taken over the City Lord’s Mansion in a strong manner, and had also broken the rule that one needed to purchase an identity jade token to enter the Rootless Black City for the first time. These had touched everyone’s interests and caused public outrage.
If the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce had been exterminated, no one of them cared even if the City Master of the City had been killed, but now that Ning Cheng had gotten the black coins in their pockets, there was not a single person willing to compromise on such matters.
“At the beginning, I said that we should have united to take out this person. Now that this person is sitting on top, he must have gotten something good from that old devil, Sequel Kai, for him to have advanced to the level of a Transformation Tripod so quickly.” The one who spoke was a white-haired old man, he was Mao Xiu Xuan, the vice president of the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce, and all the people understood what he meant.
“There is no point in talking about this now, since Ning Cheng dares to stay in the City Master’s Palace, he will definitely have to put his hands on our heads down there. My idea is similar to Brother Xiu Xuan’s, that is to make a move while he has yet to gain a foothold, otherwise with his cultivation speed ……” The one who spoke this time was a middle aged man with a long beard, and all of them understood what he meant.
This long-bearded man looked very gentle, yet no one dared to underestimate him by half. He was the head of the Gale Void Alliance, Bu Yuanmao, also a Robust Life realm cultivator.
