Chapter 1857: Xue Lin’s Rejection

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: I Love Mermaid

 

Having seen Qingfeng Li send Qingyang Xue flying with a single punch, the self-cultivators gathered around stared on in shock, their mouths agape wide enough to fit an egg.

Silence.

The entire street was so silent that the drop of a pin could be heard.

The crowd, which had just been chattering nonstop, was now completely quiet. Not a single person spoke.

They had all been stunned by Qingfeng Li’s strength. Even the Princess of the high-tier dynasty, who had been standing in the crowd, parted her ruby lips in shock. Her bright eyes widened in surprise.

Before this, most self-cultivators didn’t know of Qingfeng Li. They had only heard about the infamous Qingyang Xue, who was ranked tenth on the Devil Rankings.

Many self-cultivators had died by his hand and even some spirit monarch realm masters had been defeated by him. But now, such a powerful devil had been sent flying by Qingfeng Li, and with only one punch.

The crowd’s gaze traced along Qingfeng Li’s fist in the direction that Qingyang Xue had been thrown in. They saw that, after he had snapped the ancient tree in half, he had continued flying through a spiritual treasure store. The tall building had crumbled under the impact, and the self-cultivators who had been shopping inside ran screaming from the ruins.

Finally, Qingyang Xue’s body slammed into the city wall. He spat out a spurt of blood before sliding slowly to the ground. He stared at Qingfeng Li with a bitter expression, his face pale as fresh snow. Then, his head fell to the side as he lost consciousness.

With one punch, Qingyang Xue, a fourth-class spirit monarch realm master, had been knocked out. What incredible strength was this? It was brutal.

After a few minutes, the silent streets finally began to resume its activity. The crowd looked on in excitement, their voices loud.

“What did I just see? I can’t believe I just saw the Great Devil Qingyang Xue defeated by a young man with one punch. I feel like I’m dreaming!”

“This is no dream. I tell you, this young man is no simple character. I think I’ve heard that his name is Qingfeng Li.”

“Qingfeng Li… I’ve heard of him. Didn’t he kill the White Hair Devil? But I heard that he only ranked number twenty on the Devil Rankings.”

“That was before. From now on, Qingfeng Li will rank tenth on the Devil Rankings.”

“No only that, I feel that he might even make it into the top five. After all, it only took him one punch to send Qingyang Xue flying.”

All around, the self-cultivators whispered among themselves. Many now looked toward Qingfeng Li with a hint of apprehension in their eyes. This was fear for a Great Devil. After all, devils had terrible reputations among self-cultivators.

The Princess of the high-tier dynasty also gave a small sigh. An odd look crossed her lovely eyes as she looked at Qingfeng Li, there was a hint of admiration in them.

Qingfeng Li looked over at the unconscious form of Qingyang Xue. “Piece of trash,” he muttered, “and you dared to act cocky in front of me.”

Turning, Qingfeng Li walked back to the Peach Blossom She-Devil and the other women.

Walking up to the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s side, Qingfeng Li spoke to her in a low tone, “Pretty Big Sister, I told you there was no need to worry. From now on, if anyone dares to try to take you away, you just tell me. Qingyang Xue is an example of what will happen to them.”

The Peach Blossom She-Devil gave him a flirtatious glance. There were sparkles in her eyes, and they were full of admiration. She had thought that Qingfeng Li wouldn’t be able to handle Qingyang Xue.

After all, Qingyang Xue was notorious. Being the tenth place on the Devil Rankings, he was renowned among all devils. She hadn’t thought that Qingfeng Li would be able to send him flying with one punch, and knock him right out at that.

Such a deed was something that even the top ranking devils on the Devil Rankings might not be able to reproduce.

The Peach Blossom She-Devil reached out a tender hand and hooked it around Qingfeng Li’s arm. “Be sure to protect your Big Sister then,” she said, wearing a seductive expression. “Big Sister is going to hang out with you from now on.”

The Peach Blossom She-Devil’s voice was suggestive, seeming to be trying to tempt Qingfeng Li. Seeing this, Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun both seemed rather displeased. They hurried over, each latching on to one of Qingfeng Li’s arms and pushing the Peach Blossom She-Devil away.

The Peach Blossom She-Devil was furious. But she thought of Mengyao Xu’s power and did not retaliate.

Qingfeng Li smiled. “Let’s go,” he said, “we’ll find an inn in the city and settle down first. Then we can ask around about Xue Lin.”

At the same time as this was happening, thirty thousand kilometers from here, several figures were scaling a massive mountain. These were Xue Lin, her Master, and Tian Xuan, along with the Crown Prince of the Wind Eagle Dynasty.

The mountain was ridiculously tall, towering at a full ten thousand meters. However, the Crown Prince of the Wind Eagle Dynasty was very powerful. In addition, he had powerful spiritual treasures. Against all odds, they had managed to climb over the mountain.

The process had been a perilous one. Along the way, they had encountered a level 5 monarch realm demonic beast. However, the two old men with the Crown Prince were powerful too. These were actually two spirit monarch realm Fifth Class masters. With a single strike of their palms, they had slain the monstrous level 5 monarch realm demonic beast.

Xue Lin’s master was shaken by the scene. She tugged on Xue Lin’s arm, whispering cautiously, “Lil’ Xue, didn’t you see? That Yifan Feng is incredibly strong. As expected of the Crown Prince of a high-tier dynasty. I can’t believe that the old men with him are masters of the spirit monarch realm level 5. If you can make friends with them, our safety would be assured.”

The Sect Master of the Dark Ice Sect had already decided to tag along with Yifan Feng.

Hearing what the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect had said, an expression of repulsion appeared on Xue Lin’s exquisite face. She felt a wave of disappointment in her master.

Xue Lin had thought that her master was a prideful person. But after they had entered the Mysterious Sun Realm, her Master had been injured repeatedly. After so many defeats by the hands of self-cultivators and demonic beasts, her confidence and pride had been completely crushed.

All the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect wanted now was to get to a high-tier dynasty and grab onto some powerful organization.

From the sect master’s standpoint, the Crown Prince of the Wind Eagle High-Tier Dynasty was no doubt a millionaire bachelor. All she wanted to do was to follow him.

Xue Lin, on the other hand, had no such intentions. There was only one reason she’ ha come to the Mysterious Sun Realm from the Dark Ice Sect, which was located in the northernmost reaches of the Crimson Fire Continent. That reason was to find her husband, Qingfeng Li.

As for anyone else, no matter how powerful, influential, or attractive they might be, she had no interest whatsoever. No one could take over Qingfeng Li’s place in her heart.

Xue Lin drew her hand away from her Master. “Master,” she whispered, “Do not say anything like that again. You should know why I came to the Mysterious Sun Realm.”

Hearing Xue Lin’s words, the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect sighed inwardly. She naturally knew that Xue Lin was here to find Qingfeng Li. However, the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect thought that Qingfeng Li must be some common self-cultivator. All the time they had been in the Mysterious Sun Realm, not once had she heard of Qingfeng Li. And on top of that, he wasn’t that strong either. There was no way he could compare with Yifan Feng.

But since Xue Lin loved Qingfeng Li so much, the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect could only let her be.

In front of them, driving the flying spiritual-treasure, was Yifan Feng. After hearing the exchange between Xue Lin and her Master, his brows furrowed. A cold light flashed across his eyes.

From the moment he laid eyes on Xue Lin, he had fallen for her. He wanted Xue Lin for himself.

Chapter 1858: Mysterious Veiled Woman

Yifan Feng was unhappy. Xue Lin had refused to speak to him, or to pay any attention to him. This displeased him greatly. Now, he finally knew why. It was all because of this Qingfeng Li.

Yifan Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. “Uncle Feng,” he spoke to the old man beside him, “issue an order. Search the Mystic Sun Realm for Qingfeng Li. I’ll have to see just who this man is, that Xue Lin would love him this much.”

At this, the green-clad old man nodded and took out a tinderbox. He opened it and wrote down a symbol. It was the symbol for contacting all self-cultivators of the Wind Eagle High-Tier Dynasty.

The tinderbox turned into a crimson fiery arrow. It shot into the sky and radiated Monarch Seal Scriptures into the air before disappearing. In all of the Mystic Sun Realm, all self-cultivators of the Wind Eagle Dynasty would be able to see it.

And once they see it, they would decrypt the symbol to obtain the message contained within. Then, they would all search for Qingfeng Li, gathering information on him and reporting it all to Yifan Feng.

Five minutes later, the spirit vessel stopped at a fork in the road.

Yifan Feng inquired, “Which way do we go now?”

Beside him, the green-robed old man looked ahead for a moment before he answered. “To the left is the Five-Poison City, and to the right is the Sky Rat City.”

Seeing that the spirit vessel had stopped, Xue Lin’s brows furrowed. She had naturally heard the exchange between Yifan Feng and the green-robed old man. She didn’t know why, but Xue Lin wanted to go left.

Xue Lin had a vague feeling that Qingfeng Li was waiting for her at the Five-Poison City to the left. This was both a result of her womanly instincts and her bond of marriage with Qingfeng Li.

Xue Lin walked up to the front of the vessel. “Let’s go to the Five-Poison City,” she said.

Hearing this, Yifan Feng’s eyes lit up with delight. This was the first time that this woman had spoken to him. He was naturally very excited.

The whole way here, Xue Lin hadn’t said a single word to him. Toward him, she always had a frigid expression, treating him like he was invisible. Now that Xue Lin was speaking to him, he was extremely happy.

Yifan Feng nodded, preparing to agree to Xue Lin’s request.

The green-clad old man’s expression suddenly changed. “Prince Highness,” he said, “there’s trouble. I sense a massive Devil Wave to the left. There are a million demonic beasts nearby, with Monarch Level Sixth Class demonic beasts among them. Those are Demon Emperors, we’re no match for them. Hurry, escape to the right. We’ll die for sure if we go left!”

Yifan Feng was startled by this. He hurriedly released his own mana energy. Just as he had been told, there were countless demonic beasts toward the north. And there were demon monarchs among them. This fact terrified him, and his face drained of color until it was nearly green.

He was only a master of the spirit monarch realm fourth class, and the old man behind him was only in the fifth class of the spirit monarch realm class. If they encountered a monarch level sixth class demonic beast, they would certainly be killed.

Although Yifan Feng wanted to please Xue Lin, he wouldn’t throw his life away for her. To him, his own survival was the first priority.

Without hesitation, Yifan Feng steered the spirit vessel toward the right. This was the path to Sky Rat City. They flew further and further away from Five-Poison City, going in the opposite direction.

Xue Lin’s face fell, she felt a dull ache in her chest. She had clearly sensed Qingfeng Li, the other seeming to be in the Five-Poison City to the left, but Yifan Feng insisted on going right.

Xue Lin opened her mouth, preparing to speak, when she was stopped by the sect master of the Mystic Ice Sect. Pulling her by the arm, the sect master drew her back.

Xue Lin frowned. “Master,” she said, “why did you pull me away? We should be going left, to Five-Poison City, not right!”

“Lil’ Xue,” the sect master of the Mystic Ice Sect replied, “What are you thinking? We’re on someone else’s boat right now. We’re at Yifan Feng’s mercy. If you express to him that you are displeased, or that you are challenging him, he might kill us. Even though he does like you, and he might let you live due to your beauty, Tian Xuan and this master of yours would lose their lives.”

Xue Lin furrowed her brows. She finally understood what her Master had been worrying about. It was no wonder that, the whole way here, her master had been trying to stay on Yifan Feng’s good side. She had been worried that he would kill them.

Xue Lin still did not have a clear understanding of how cruel the world of self-cultivators was. She thought that, so long as she didn’t kill anyone else, no one would kill her. She was completely wrong. If Yifan Feng hadn’t been intending to court her, he would have killed her Master and Junior Brother.

Seeing that Xue Lin had fallen silent, seeming to understand what she had said, the sect master of the Mystic Ice Sect said, “Lil’ Xue, let’s play nice and follow him. You’ll definitely meet Qingfeng Li someday.”

Xue Lin sighed. She felt that, in going to the right toward the Sky Rat City, she was moving further away from Qingfeng Li. Still, she believed that she would definitely meet up with Qingfeng Li in the Mystic Sun Realm. She only hoped that the time would come quickly.

At the same time, in Five-Poison City, Qingfeng Li felt a pang in his heart. He felt that, just now, he was very close to Xue Lin. But for reasons unknown, Xue Lin had suddenly left him and headed in another direction.

This was an unexplainable realization, and it confused him. Did she run into something? Or perhaps it was the million-strong Devil Wave outside that had blocked Xue Lin’s path.

Seeing the pallor and discomfort on Qingfeng Li’s face, Mengyao Xu walked over to him. “Big Brother Li,” she said, “What’s wrong? Are you worried about Xue Lin? Don’t fret. We’ll go and find a member of the Business Alliance immediately. Then we can find Xue Lin.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. With no better option, he led Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, the Sky Wolf Emperor, and the others forward. His gaze, however, remained on the skies in the distance. He felt as though, out there, someone had left him.

After Qingfeng Li and company had walked a short while, their way was blocked by two women. One of them wore a black dress that showed off her vivacious figure, with a black veil on her face obscuring her features. The other was a tall female servant, with pleasant features and a long sword hanging from her waist.

Qingfeng Li smiled. “May I ask why this lady has blocked my way?”

The veiled woman smiled, ruby lips parting, she spoke in a clear voice. “I’ve just seen you defeat the tenth ranked devil with one blow. I’m very interested in you. Would you like to be my guard?”

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows. So, this woman wanted to hire a guard and was interested in his strength. However, Qingfeng Li had no interest in doing so.

Qingfeng Li waved a hand. “Sorry, I’m not interested.”

With that, Qingfeng Li turned and walked off in another direction, not wanting anything to do with this woman.

Qingfeng Li could sense clearly that this woman was no simple character. Not only was she strong herself, but her clothes were Monarch Level spirit robes. She had to have quite the background. However, Qingfeng Li was only worried about Xue Lin.

Chapter 1859: Moon Pub

The veiled face of the woman in black changed, she couldn’t believe that Qingfeng refused so bluntly. Her voice had hints of allure, such that normal people wouldn’t be able to refuse.

The veiled woman in black frowned when she saw Qingfeng about to leave, so she shouted from behind, “Wait, as long as you be my servant, I’ll give you a sixth level monarch grade technique.”

All the self-cultivators around inhaled cold air when they heard the woman in black, with shock filling their eyes, as they all felt the urge to beg to be her servants.

There were only a few limited sixth level or above monarch grade techniques, it was extremely rare, such that only higher-tier kingdom Emperors, Princes, and Princesses could access them while others couldn’t.

Many self-cultivators entered the Mystic Sun Realm for monarch grade techniques, and now the woman in black offered a sixth level one up front.

All the self-cultivators around looked at Qingfeng with envy, as many even shouted around.

“Hurry up and agree, that’s a sixth level monarch grade technique. If it were me, I would be her slave, not to mention her servant.”

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and agree, are you dumb? You don’t even want a sixth level monarch grade technique?”

All the self-cultivators around looked at Qingfeng as he stood there blankly, with hints of distaste in his eyes, which unsettled them as they loudly chattered.

These self-cultivators would fight each other to the death for a single monarch grade technique or elixir. They were willing to risk their own lives, while this youth frowned upon a monarch grade technique.

Qingfeng frowned with a distaste for the monarch grade technique. He thought the veiled woman in black would offer some kind of great treasure, but it was merely a sixth level monarch grade technique.

Qingfeng had already trained in immortal techniques like the Strangle Hell Body and Heavenly Immortal Chant.

His Golden Flames were also immortal flame, while the Chaos Millstone was even more of a rare gem, much more powerful than immortal grade treasures. Monarch grade techniques seemed like scrap metal, without any allure for him.

Qingfeng lightly smiled and said, “Not interested, don’t bother me.”

He didn’t even look at the veiled woman in black as he led Mengyao Xu, Yun Ya, and the others away.

The veiled woman in black was furious, as she bit on her teeth, squeezed her fist tightly, and stared at Qingfeng with fury.

The tall slim maid beside the veiled woman in black pulled out her sword in anger and even wanted to charge at Qingfeng.

The veiled woman in black said, “Don’t attack, you’re not his match.”

The tall maid said angrily, “Princess, you’re of a superior class and we’re from a higher-tier kingdom, so there should be no one that dares to disrespect you. That damn guy, how dare he ignore you like that? He is basically ridiculing our dynasty.”

The veiled woman in black lightly smiled and said, “This is a self-cultivator with attitude. He must have already guessed my identity and still doesn’t care, which means that he is not afraid of those of higher-tier kingdoms. I want to see who he truly is. Order the patrol to investigate him, I want to know all about him.”

The tall maid said, “Princess, why don’t we tell the Emperor to catch this youth with the army?”

The veiled woman in black waved her hand and said, “I’ll say it again, I’m interested in this youth and want him to follow me, not to catch him. I don’t want to be his enemy, because I can’t see through his powers.”

After the veiled woman in black spoke, she led the tall maid towards another direction.

They walked towards the Spider Dynasty, which would shock anyone who saw. The Spider Dynasty was one of the two most powerful higher-tier kingdoms in Five-Poison City, as it took up the entire eastern side of the city.

Qingfeng headed towards another direction, as he felt nothing towards the veiled woman in black’s allure. However, beside Qingfeng, Mengyao and Yun Ya both frowned as if they were in thought.

They were both smart women, and they could tell from the way the veiled woman in black spoke that she had to be an important member of a higher-tier kingdom, either a Princess or Lord, or else she wouldn’t have taken out a sixth level monarch grade technique.

Yun Ya sighed as she said, “Qingfeng, you shouldn’t have ignored that veiled woman in black. At the least, you shouldn’t have refused her in front of all those self-cultivators. You just offended a high-tier dynasty.”

Qingfeng said without a care, “What’s so great with high-tier dynasties? They’d better not upset me, or else I’ll give them a beating.”

Qingfeng continued and said, “Let’s go to the Trading Company to find news of Xue Lin.”

Mengyao sighed, because she had spent the most time with Qingfeng, and knew how wild he was, as he didn’t care for any other forces.

Even if it was the headless devilish corpse he met before, he still managed to defeat such a powerful devil, making it go into hiding beneath the ground without ever appearing again.

The more time she spent with Qingfeng, the more mysterious Yun Ya thought he was. He was very mysterious and had secrets for her to discover.

Shortly after, Qingfeng and the others arrived at a pub, which had a charming name called the Moon Pub.

It was a bit funny, because the moon rarely ever appeared in the entire Mystic Sun Realm. When it got dark, it was pitch black with only a few stars in the sky.

Qingfeng stood before the pub and inspected it closely.

The Moon Pub was five floors tall and was mostly built of white spiritual wood taken from the core of silver cedar trees. It would take at least ten silver cedars to build just this tall pub.

Silver cedar wood was extremely expensive, as it was a form of cultivating wood; each branch had its own intent and could launch attacks. It was very famous in the plant world.

The owner of this Moon Pub must be filthy rich, as he or she managed to kill ten or so silver cedars.

Massive amounts of self-cultivators had already gathered inside the Moon Pub, as some drank and ate, while some looked for information, because tons of outside information was sold here.

Qingfeng found out from Yun Ya that the Moon Pub belonged to an ancient Trading Company called the Moon Business Alliance, that dated even further back than Yun Ya’s Crimson Fire Continent Business Alliance.

The Moon Business Alliance didn’t belong to the Crimson Fire Continent, as it belonged to another planet in the universe, and the Moon Business Alliance here was only a branch office on the Crimson Fire Continent.

There were a Moon Pub in every major Crimson Fire Continent city, or within every major mystic realm, which functioned as their local offices.

Chapter 1860: Discussion of Qingfeng

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: I Love Mermaid

 

Qingfeng stood before the Moon Pub, and after a while, he released his spirit energy and felt that there were many powerful spirit monarch realm powers inside the pub. This shocked him, as he knew that this pub wasn’t so simple.

Qingfeng lightly smiled and said, “Let’s go inside the pub. Everyone lay low, because everyone inside is very powerful.”

Yun Ya nodded and agreed with Qingfeng. Although the Crimson Fire Business Alliance was the most powerful Trading Company on the continent, it was nothing compared to the ancient big player the Moon Business Alliance was. However the Moon Business Alliance was especially humble, as hardly anyone knew of it.

Those lower-grade king realm, spirit emperor realm, and supreme realm self-cultivators wouldn’t know of Moon Business Alliance, as only self-cultivators above the spirit monarch realm would be qualified to learn of the power of the Moon Business Alliance.

Just as Qingfeng and the others entered the Moon Pub, they heard chatters as the self-cultivators inside gathered in threes and twos, as they discussed the Mystic Sun Realm.

“Did you hear? Qingfeng had killed the emperors of the Meteorite Dynasty, Water Yin Dynasty, and a few other middle-tier dynasties.”

“Of course I heard. That Qingfeng is the devil and has even killed the White Hair Devil. He is absolutely invincible.”

“Sadly I didn’t get to see what Qingfeng looked like, or else I’ll definitely ask him to be my master. He must have a great background to be so powerful at twenty-some years old.”

“If you become his disciple, then you might die very fast, Qingfeng’s has many enemies now.”

All the self-cultivators were discussing what happened inside the Mystic Sun Realm, and the most important topics were of the death of the middle-tier dynasty emperors.

Qingfeng has caused all of this, so everyone discussed about him. Some liked him, while some hated, just as some admired him, feared him, or loathed him.

However most self-cultivators have yet seen Qingfeng’s true face. If they knew their topic stood right behind them, and watched quietly, then they would have been scared half to death.

Mengyao, Yun Ya, Chief Commander, and Sky Wolf Emperor all knew of the truth, and so they looked at those self-cultivators with disdain.

Qingfeng was a good person, he was only forced to kill those middle-tier dynasty emperors because they wanted to kill him. How did Qingfeng become such an evil devil in the mouths of these self-cultivators?

The first four floors of the Moon Pub were filled with people, since there were many self-cultivators in the Mystic Sun Realm, and many knew of the Moon Pub, so many had gathered here.

They were all from middle-tier or higher-tier dynasties, or major sects or forces’ Emperors, sect masters, Crown Princes, or final disciples with great power.

Qingfeng didn’t want to cause trouble, as he headed up along the stairs. If the bottom four floors had no space, then there must be space on the fifth floor.

However, he frowned when he stepped on the stairs, as his eyes filled with shock. He felt the sturdiness of the stairs was great, as it was made of crystal wood.

Crystal wood was a special spiritual wood said to exist only in the ocean, never on land.

Plus, it grew approximately five thousand meters beneath sea level, with many powerful sea ferocious beasts, such that humans couldn’t even enter. So how did they acquire this super spiritual wood, crystal wood?

Undeniably, the force behind the Moon Pub was incredibly powerful. Even if Qingfeng plunged into the depths of the sea to acquire this kind of crystal wood, it would take him far too much effort.

It was absolutely extravagant and luxurious, but in a humble way, for the Moon Pub to construct the stairs like this.

Mengyao and Yun Ya also recognized the spiritual wood used in the stairs, as their faces changed. They felt the powers of the Moon Pub, which was a massive invincible entity.

While Qingfeng walked towards the fifth floor, he saw many self-cultivators he failed to recognize, with a few he recognized.

Some self-cultivators also recognized Qingfeng, and their faces turned white as if they saw a ghost, as they hurriedly lowered their heads without another sound, in fear of Qingfeng.

Shortly after, Qingfeng and the others arrived at the fifth floor, which seated many people, but one table was empty near the window. It could seat ten or so people, perfect for Qingfeng’s group.

A waiter in black walked over and said, “The table near the window is the only space left, but it’s the most expensive. If you want to drink and get information there, you’ve to pay one hundred monarch vitality stones.”

Qingfeng frowned when he heard the waiter in black with shock in his eyes.

Qingfeng even suspected that the kid in black gave the wrong number. The Moon Pub was crazy to ask one hundred monarch grade vitality stones for the table near the window. Was it necessary?

This was no normal supreme vitality stone, but first level monarch vitality stone, which was enough for a first level spirit monarch power to reach the second level of the spirit monarch realm.

The waiter in black explained, “Valued guest, you might not know, but the table near the window on the fifth floor is the most prestigious VIP table in the entire Mystic Sun Realm, such that normal folks can’t sit there, while only nobles, middle-tier, and higher-tier dynasty Emperors can. It represents power and status, and thus one hundred first level monarch grade vitality stones is a small price to pay.”

Qingfeng shook his head and said, “Too expensive, what if I want to get information? Would I have to pay more monarch grade vitality stones?”

The kid in black shook his head and said, “VIP guests can receive two pieces of information for free from the Moon Pub, as a gift. One has to pay at least twenty monarch grade first level vitality stones to get information from other tables.”

Qingfeng nodded when he heard. So this was what it was, it had two free pieces of information, or else Qingfeng would’ve felt like he was being scammed if he paid one hundred monarch vitality stones.

He had many vitality stones, but he didn’t want to be scammed.

Plus, Mengyao, Yun Ya, the Sky Wolf Emperor, the Chief Commander, Black Puppy, Sky Swallowing Snake, the Lingyun Emperor, and the others were with Qingfeng.

Qingfeng wanted to use the vitality stones to increase their abilities and save time.

Qingfeng took out one hundred monarch grade vitality stones from his interspatial ring, and gave it to the waiter in black so that the waiter could bring him over to the VIP area.

The number one VIP table was made of crystal wood from underneath the sea, but it was more high class than the crystal wood that the stairs were made out of, since it released an aura that cleared one’s mind.

Here is Tuesday’s release!

Chapter 1861: Moon Saintess

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Qingfeng led Mengyao, Ya Yun, and the others towards the VIP table, as all the other self-cultivators on the fifth floor looked towards them.

They knew how prestigious the VIP table was, as it costed the customer one hundred first level monarch grade vitality stones to use, which most self-cultivators couldn’t afford. Even if they could, they would feel it wasn’t worth it.

Now however, this youth just led a group of people there. They wore fairly plain clothes, so could they be disciples of some humble major sect?

Where they sat had a lot to say as well. Qingfeng sat in the seat facing the door, which meant that he was the leader.

To his left was Mengyao, on his right Ya Yun, then the Sky Wolf Emperor, the Lingyun Emperor, the Chief Commander, Black Puppy, Sky Devouring Snake, and Peach Blossom She-Devil and so on.

Qingfeng sat down and waved his hands at the black-clothed waiter, as he said, “I want to know about the Wind Eagle Dynasty. Do you have anything?”

The waiter in black frowned and said, “I don’t have access to information on masters above the fourth level of the spirit monarch realm or of higher-tier dynasties. Only our Saintess has access to that.”

Qingfeng frowned and asked, “Who is your Saintess?”

The waiter in black said lightly, “Esteemed guest, I’m sorry, but our Saintess just went to the Spider Palace, because the Spider higher-tier dynasty Emperor called upon our Saintess to discuss something.”

Qingfeng nodded and said, “Fine, then let me know as soon as your Saintess gets back. I want to know about the Crown Prince of the Wind Eagle Dynasty.”

The waiter in black nodded and then turned to leave.

Now on the east side of Five-Poison City stood a massive Palace with spider-like construction, and two massive spider sculptures stood beside the door, all sculpted out of ninth grade meteorite stones.

After the Spider Dynasty Emperor entered Five-Poison City, he took up the entire east side of the city and built the Palace there.

As the Emperor of a higher-tier dynasty, he was extremely luxurious and was willing to use money and manpower to build a Palace inside the Mystic Sun Realm, as it was the envy of all other self-cultivators.

There was a ten thousand square meter hall inside the Spider Palace, with great luxury, as it was made entirely of black crystal stones.

Black crystal stone was an especially precious crystal stone, which required three thousand years to form, as it was born from meteorite stones. It released black light, which could form array formations and defend itself from attackers.

There was a massive chair in the Palace hall, in the form of a spider and not a godly dragon.

The Spider dynasty’s symbol was a spider after all.

A middle-aged man sat in the middle of the chair, with an average built and a firm face. Although his cultivation did not appear to be very high level, he unleashed a powerful energy that intimidated everyone.

This middle-aged man was the Emperor of the Spider Dynasty, a sixth level spirit monarch realm master amongst the top fifty of the spirit monarch realm.

Beside the Spider Dynasty Emperor stood a group of people, who were either the self-cultivators of the Spider Dynasty, or generals, strategists, and masters with great fame.

Yet they weren’t allowed to sit right next to the Spider Dynasty Emperor, because two women were sitting beside him. One wore a veil with a curvy figure, which was the woman Qingfeng met at the Five-Poison City, as she tried to hire Qingfeng but was rejected.

On the other side sat a woman in white, with great beauty, an attractive face like a blossomed rose, and skin as clear as white snow. Her eyes were clear like the stars in the sky, long eyelashes like willow branches, skinny waist, and great beauty beyond imagination.

Qingfeng would be shocked if he were here, because this woman in white looked like Xiaoyue Zhang from earth, from her brows and face. However, she was more graceful than Xiaoyue, with hints of pride and dignity.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor looked at the women in white beside him with shock in his eyes. He had seen countless beauties in his lifetime, but this woman in white was absolutely stunning above all others, as even he felt hints of attraction to her.

However, the Spider Dynasty Emperor quickly suppressed his thoughts. Others might not know of the horrors of this woman in white, but he knew. She was definitely someone he could not annoy within the entire Crimson Fire Continent.

The Crimson Fire Continent’s power distribution was incredibly complex. The Crimson Fire Emperor ruled the planet, with the most power, but he only ruled Mars.

Mars was only a higher-tier planet amongst a hundred million stars, a hundred thousand medium worlds, and three thousand big worlds. Every planet ruler was more powerful than Mars, by ten or so times. They were completely different levels.

There were also saints on these small worlds.

Saints were incredibly powerful, as they could smother the entire Crimson Fire Continent with one palm, even though that level of power rarely came out.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor knew the woman in white was from the massive Moon Business Alliance, as it had the most saints inside its Trading Company, with forces on every planet.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor smiled lightly and said, “Saintess, tens of thousands of troops will be here soon. There will even be Demonic Emperors! We might not be able to defend Five Poison City! Please help us out Saintess.”

The Moon Saintess smiled lightly and said, “Spider Dynasty Emperor, the rules of our Moon Business Alliance prevents us from interfering with any universal conflict. We can only provide information.”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor’s eyes filled with disappointment when he heard the Moon Saintess. He invited her over to ask her to fight with them.

If the Moon Saintess fought, then the demonic beasts would be easily defeated, but this woman clearly didn’t want to get involved.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor knew of the powers of the Moon Business Alliance, as it spread all over the continent. Even some of the Mystic Sun Realm monarch grade demonic beasts knew of the powers of the Moon Business Alliance, so they wouldn’t attack them, as the beasts would only attack other human self-cultivators.

Since the Moon Saintess refused to help, the Spider Dynasty Emperor thought of another idea and said, “Then could the Saintess please guide us through this difficult time? How can we survive?”

The Moon Saintess lightly smiled and said, “I can’t tell you who, but there is a genius-level figure in the east side of Five-Poison City, and he will be able to turn things around at the crucial moment.”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor’s face changed as he hurriedly asked, “Who is he?”

The Moon Saintess lightly smiled and said, “I’ve already told you that it’s a secret, but you’ll eventually find out. I can give you some detail though. Your precious daughter, the Spider Princess, has already met him, and had even tried to get him to be her servant, though she was rejected.”

Chapter 1862: Talk Between Father and Daughter

The Moon Saintess then stood up and left the Palace after she spoke.

The Spider Princess’ eyes grew cold when she saw the Moon Saintess leave, as she said, “Father, can we trust that woman? She is too prideful, she doesn’t even care about Father.”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor shook his head and said, “My dear daughter, don’t talk badly of this woman behind her back. Even the Crimson Fire Emperor himself dares not to offend this Moon Saintess, not to mention our Spider Dynasty. The forces behind her are saints.”

The Spider Princess’ face changed when she heard the words “saints”. Even though she was the Princess of a higher-tier dynasty with great power and status, she was like an ant in front of saints.

If a saint wanted to, they could destroy the entire continent with one palm strike, as their powers were beyond a spirit monarch realm master’s imagination.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor lightly smiled and said, “Don’t worry, the Moon Saintess has never taken sides. They won’t help a force over another; they only sell information and gain profit from it. What she has told us holds no threat, as long as you don’t offend her.”

The Spider Princess nodded when she heard the Spider Dynasty Emperor. She just felt upset with this Moon Saintess, but with the saints behind the Saintess, she had to suppress her anger, because no one would dare to offend saints.

At this moment, the Spider Princess thought of what the Emperor had told her. There were great complexities to the Crimson Fire Continent, it wasn’t what it seemed on the surface, and there were rare powers in every hidden corner, each with great power and background.

For example, Qingfeng met a disgruntled elder in the run-down spiritual treasure shop in the Mystic Sun Realm. Even though the elder released no vital essence energy, he shocked Qingfeng because he was a rare hidden master.

He gave the Sky-Breaking Halberd to Qingfeng for him to train. Now, Qingfeng’s Sky-Breaking Halberd had become four million kilos in weight and could shatter space.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor suddenly turned around, as he asked the Spider Princess, “The Moon Saintess said you bothered someone who could help us, who is he?”

The Spider Princess thought for a moment and said, “I’ve investigated. The youth is called Qingfeng, ranked in the top twenty of the devil rankings. However, he had killed the tenth ranked devil with one punch and has also claimed to have killed the emperors of the Water Yin, Meteorite, and several other middle-tier dynasties.”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor frowned as he felt the difficulty. Others might not know of the powers of the Water Yin dynasty, but he knew clearly. They might be a middle-tier dynasty, but the Purple Scorpion Dynasty backed them.

The Purple Scorpion Dynasty was a higher-tier dynasty with great power, no less than the Spider Dynasty, and was also within the Five-Poison City.

The Five-Poison City was three times larger than Lingyun and was separated into the east and west. The Spider Dynasty held the east side, while the Purple Scorpion Dynasty held the west.

If the Purple Scorpion Emperor knew that Qingfeng had killed his cousin, then he would never let go. All of Five-Poison City was under their protection, as one hundred thousand demonic beasts surrounded it from the outside.

Some of those demonic beasts were monarch grade beasts, at the sixth level of the spirit monarch realm, which was not weaker than the Spider Dynasty Emperor.

Even though the Spider Dynasty Emperor was enemies with the Purple Scorpion Emperor, they had entered the Mystic Sun Realm together in search of monarch grade techniques and treasures.

The demonic beasts were their common enemy, but the Spider Dynasty Emperor wondered whether it was worth it to worsen their relationship again for Qingfeng.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor pondered for a moment and asked, “Do you think we should hire Qingfeng? Or give him up to build relations with the Purple Scorpion dynasty?”

The Spider Princess thought for a moment and flashed back to the first time she met Qingfeng. She felt that Qingfeng was incredibly arrogant, with no consideration for higher-tier dynasties.

However, Spider Princess had an odd feeling, that even higher-tier Dynasties might not be Qingfeng’s opponents. It was only her gut feeling, but those who haven’t met Qingfeng wouldn’t know of his power and arrogance.

The Spider Princess sighed and said, “Father, if you let me choose, then I’ll hire Qingfeng, and give up the Purple Scorpion dynasty, even if it means becoming the Purple Scorpion dynasty’s enemy.”

The Spider Dynasty Emperor’s eyes filled with oddness. He was surprised to see that his daughter would hold such high expectations for Qingfeng, much higher than the Purple Scorpion dynasty, even though the two were on completely different levels.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor knew his daughter could clearly see through others, as she was able uncover their deepest secrets each time.

The Spider Dynasty Emperor gasped and said, “Then we’ll do what you like. Hurry and call upon Qingfeng at any cost. We can’t let the Purple Scorpion dynasty get to Qingfeng.”

The Spider Princess nodded as she turned to leave the Palace and headed out. Now that she had her father’s orders, she felt relieved.

Of course, she failed to tell her father that she only agreed to entrust Qingfeng, and risk relations with the Purple Scorpion dynasty because of what the Moon Saintess said.

The Moon Saintess just said that only Qingfeng could solve the crisis the Five-Poison City was facing.

Even though the Spider Princess despised the Moon Saintess because she was too prideful, after the Spider Princess learned that saints were backing the Saintess, she immediately understood why the Moon Saintess was acting so pridefully.

Even the Moon Saintess valued Qingfeng, so how could the Spider Princess believe otherwise. Of course, she had to follow the Moon Saintess’s advice and build good relations with Qingfeng to establish her place.

Qingfeng and the others were now on the fifth floor of the Moon Inn. They were near the window, drinking alcohol, and eating food, as they looked outside at the scenery and the wide crowded streets.

Qingfeng saw several devilish self-cultivators that shocked him. Who knew that there would be so many devilish powers in Five-Poison City.

Qingfeng then turned away as he said to the waiter in black, “Has your Saintess returned?”

Just as the waiter in black prepared to speak, a woman in white entered the room.

This woman in white had an attractive face, with graceful purity, and smooth black hair, shrouding her figure with hints of mysteriousness. As soon as she appeared, she drew in everyone’s attention.

The waiter in black’s face changed as he hurried over to the woman in white and said, “Saintess you’re back.”

The Moon Saintess nodded and said, “You can head downstairs, I know there’s someone who wants to see me. I’ll head over now.”

The Moon Saintess headed towards Qingfeng’s group as she spoke; with great speed she arrived over to Qingfeng with merely two steps.
