Chapter 694, The ghost really does not go away
Half an hour later.
A Violet Gold divine guard sent over the content and method of a.s.sessment to the square of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps. The relevant a.s.sessment was scheduled to be carried out in front of the walls of storm of the Violet Gold divine residence in Sunrise City on the morning of the following day.
In the tent where the Empress discussed official business.
“The Wall of Storm?”
When the fat old Yan Wushuang heard the news, he turned to look at the thin old man, their eyes both flas.h.i.+ng a strange light.
“Tut tut, your luck is really not good enough,” the chubby old man said gloatingly, shaking his head with a smiling expression.
“Really unlucky,” the thin old man who cherished words like gold, also spat out two words.
“I have to ask why elder say that?” Yu Xiaoxing asked in surprise, “Could it be that the Wall of Storm a.s.sessment is very difficult?”
“The nineteen cities of chaos, Sunrise City is the first level. There are four major a.s.sessment sites in the city, the Falling Wind formation, Lightning Tower, the Eye of the Divine Wind and the Wall of Storm. Of the four, the Wall of Storm is the most difficult, because this a.s.sessment was the only one to be personally set up by the Storm Martial Emperor.”
Everyone had a change of expression when they heard this.
The examination scene set up by the Storm Martial Emperor?
That was a little exaggerated, right?
Let alone Heaven Wasteland Domain, how many people in the thousands of domains could break through an a.s.sessment set up by the Storm Martial Emperor?
Ye Qingyu raised his brows, “That Wall of Storm a.s.sessment, what is it? Will there be any danger? Elder, can you reveal a little information?”
Although he had got a lot of information on the thousands of domains and the domain rating from the scrolls of the Immortal G.o.d Emperor Sect, but the four major a.s.sessments in Sunrise City were never mentioned.
“Hahaha, there won"t be any danger, you don"t have to worry about that.” The chubby old man laughed, habitually wiping the sweat on his body. “But the specific details of the a.s.sessment, I am not too sure, because the Wall of Storm is mysterious, and so far n.o.body has completely understood it. It is a spiritual object. When the a.s.sessment begins tomorrow, you will automatically be given the specific a.s.sessment criteria. Don"t think too much about it. There is no use in worrying, just wait for the examination to come.”
“Fat man, you are quite tight-lipped.” Silly dog jumped onto Ye Qingyu"s shoulder, gritted his sparkly white teeth, and growled.
The chubby old man laughed while wiping his sweat, not angry in the slightest.
“Grab it, grab it, torture it, rip his clothes off.” The fat hen-like parrot also flapped its wings in an arrogant manner, circling around the old man.
Ximen Yeshui looked pale.
He suddenly felt that the stupid bird was only useful for picking up girls, but at such an occasion, it was just a disaster.
Seeing that the two envoy elders were unwilling to say anything more, Ye Qingyu and others did not question further.
Although the fat old man had a very good temper, his strength was unfathomable. If he were pushed to his limit, the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps would most likely be at a disadvantage.
After a little deliberation, the two envoy elders departed.
Only the people of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps were left in the tents.
The next hour, the higher levels had discussions on the next step, but did not come to any good conclusions. For the time being, everybody rested. When the a.s.sessment officially started tomorrow, they could only adapt to the situation.
It was Ye Qingyu"s first time in Sunrise City and thus he was also very curious. With Wen Wan, Ximen Yeshui, and the others, he left the camp and came to the city to take a look.
……
Sunrise City was the first city of the nineteen cities of chaos.
It covered a stretch of hundreds of miles. The majority of the buildings were light golden rock buildings, and the style was simple. After thousands of years of being battered by wind and rain, there was a sense of ancient history, that it was full of a historical background.
There were nearly tens of millions of living beings in the city, the Human Race, Demon Race and other races from different domains, but all were fundamentally martial arts experts. The style and culture from the various domains here clashed and fused with each other. It was extremely bustling.
Compared to many major cities in Heaven Wasteland Domain, such as the Snow capital, Nine Serenities City, Demon G.o.d Snow Mountain and so on, the buildings of Sunrise City were more imposing, more majestic, and surpa.s.sed the imagination of many people. The huge buildings and statues were tall and reaching into the clouds. There was a faint divine power pervading throughout the city, as if there was a G.o.d mysteriously watching and guarding the city.
It was also an eye-opener for Ye Qingyu and his party to travel through the streets of the city.
The roadside shops and vendor stalls were filled with a wide variety of dazzling goods.
There were sellers constantly shouting along the street.
“Battle armour from the Divine Craftsman Domain. All kinds of swords and weapons, engraved seal of an Immortal Step master, containing 180 ancient inscription formations, the best quality Dao weapons, and half price divine-level Origin crystal. First come, first serve.”
“Take a look at it, blood gra.s.s picked from the Nine Serenities land, the retail price is one plant for one pound of Origin crystal, the wholesale price is negotiable. The long-term purchase price is better, guaranteed genuine, if one is fake, I shall compensate you for ten of them.”
“Youthful retaining powder from the best pill and medicine sect of the Divine Agriculture Domain. Have one once a day, and you can be young forever, no longer having to worry about the decline of blood and qi, which causes the face to age. Don"t miss this chance.”
“The young of a Gold Swallowing beast that you can tame, one hundred kilograms of Origin crystal. Feed are provided, and it comes with a training manual. First come, first serve!” “
“Second-hand yuan crystal battles.h.i.+p, with Immortal Step double cannon, full deck polis.h.i.+ng. It can carry millions of kilograms, accommodate hundreds of people. It needs thirty Heaven Ascension experts to drive it...”
There were hawkers constantly shouting.
Even if Ye Qingyu was knowledgeable and experienced, and was basically considered as the only one who had been to a foreign domain among the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps, at this moment he was also constantly shaken.
It was unbelievable that many of the things that were treasures in Heaven Wasteland Domain were now being sold at random stalls on the roadside.
“Woof thinks we seem like b.u.mpkins coming into town.” Silly dog stared wide-eyed at a barbecue stall in the distance, which the owner said he was selling barbecued dragon meat.
Wen Wan and Ximen Yeshui were evidently astonished.
“The ultimate Dao weapon? Is it real or fake?” Wen Wan crouched down at a stall, looked at the dozens of weapons laid out on a large red cloth, as well as some unusually shaped objects, and casually asked.
“If one is fake, I shall compensate you for ten of the,.” the white-bearded Taoist stall owner said, grinning.
The old Taoist had snow-white hair. He was clad in a vermillion Taoist robe which was washed cleanly, radiated an Immortal aura, and at the back of his collar was a spotlessly white horsetail whisk.
“Yo, so arrogant, let me see.” Wen Wan casually picked up a five-finger wide short sword and carefully examined it, as a solemn expression crossed his face.
On this short sword there were six blood grooves, the body of the blade was thin as a piece of paper. The forging process was extremely complex. The blade was incredibly sharp, a strand of hair could be cut by simply blowing the hair onto the blade. Clasping the blade and injecting yuan qi, there was a sharp divine light leaping out.
“This thing is real.” Ximen Yeshui made such a judgement.
The two people examined five or six weapons in one breath. Unexpectedly, they were all the best quality Dao-level treasures.
So the gaze that the two looked the stall owner with was a bit warmer.
Any one of these weapons was enough to make the many forces of Heaven Wasteland Domain break their heads in order to fight over it. But here, they were casually placed on the side of the road, like radishes being sold; it was a little unbelievable.
Ye Qingyu looked at it, but shook his head and smiled.
He patted the two on the shoulder and motioned the pair to not linger and walk faster.
The gaze of the white-bearded Taoist fell on Ye Qingyu, saying, “What, from little brother"s expression, it seems you have a problem with my things? I, Immeasurable Taoist, have set up a stall here for three hundred years, I have never cheated anyone. My credibility is guaranteed...”
“[The Mark of Reverse Dragon Reverses the Rotating Sky].” Ye Qingyu didn"t want to argue with him as he directly interrupted him.
The old Taoist was speechless, like he had just seen a ghost, staring fixedly at Ye Qingyu. Then, after a pause, he said in disbelief, “You actually know [The Mark of Reverse Dragon Reverses the Rotating Sky]... how could you?”
Ye Qingyu laughed but did not respond.
“Fine, fine, fine, my eyes are bad. I didn"t know I met a capable person, please excuse me.” As he spoke, he swiftly tidied the stall, rolled up the treasures on the blanket, and squeezed into the crowd like a wisp of smoke, disappearing in a twinkling.
Ximen Yeshui and Wen Wan looked at each other.
“What"s going on?” Wen Wan looked at Ye Qingyu and said, “Is that old thing deceiving people? What is [The Mark of Reverse Dragon Reverses the Rotating Sky]?”
Ye Qingyu said, “A kind of forged inscription handed down from the ancient times, powerful, but can only be activated a limited number of times. It was once well known across the world, but later was used by some people to cheat others.”
“No wonder that before coming out, when the fat old man heard that we are going shopping, the gaze he looked us with was as though we were lambs to be slaughtered. There are so many scammers on the street.” Ximen Yeshui began to realize the situation they were in.
Ye Qingyu nodded, “Such a street is not a place to buy things.”
He had seen the scrolls from the Immortal G.o.d Emperor Sect, had a deep understanding of Sunrise City, and knew that the stall vendors on the roadside were mostly scammers. There was a mix of good people and sc.u.mbags in the city, countless strange people. If not careful, one could easily be cheated and lose a fortune.
But after a stroll, Ye Qingyu also was tempted to go on a shopping spree.
There were countless opportunities and treasures in Sunrise City, and as long as you were rich enough, you could buy treasures that were never seen in Heaven Wasteland Domain.
Ye Qingyu was not particularly interested in these things. The members of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps who may be regarded as important people in Heaven Wasteland Domain usually spent extravagantly, but now that they were here in the nineteen cities of chaos, it wasn"t quite enough. During the domain rating, he must not be too stingy. It was better to take advantage of this chance to buy some equipment in the city that will certainly be useful in the future.
In the next half hour, Ye Qingyu consecutively walked into several old shops. He successively exchanged a drop of chaotic thunder liquid and ten kilograms of divine-level yuan liquid for more than five hundred thousand kilograms of Origin crystals. He instantly became a wealthy man and then began to sweep goods up.
In such a city, gold and silver were just like dung. Only Origin crystal played the role of money and could be used to purchase things.
Time flew by.
Half a day pa.s.sed in a twinkling.
Everything was going well.
In a thousand-year-old shop called [Refine Armour], Ye Qingyu bought a batch of Dao armour and weapons, and due to the large order the store gave him a huge discount, and also agreed to personally deliver the goods to the Heaven Wasteland Domain encampment.
The whole process went well.
Who would have imagined that just as they stepped out the store, they were surrounded by the clatter of Violet Gold divine guards. They were aggressive and overbearing, blocking their path.
They were led by the young leader who they had previously clashed with under the Suanni dragon head gate.
“You guys, stop there, someone reported you for theft,” he said, staring at Ye Qingyu and the others, a sinister smile playing on his lips. “I already knew that your group of lowly citizens of a lower domain are not good people. A group of stinking beggars. Come, do not let any of them go, arrest them all.”
Ye Qingyu knitted his brows.
The ghost really does not go away——
