Screams rose one after another behind Zhang Ruochen. He looked back at Lin Ningshan, who showed no mercy as expected. She killed almost all the warriors of the ck Tiger Hall.
She didn’t have a killer instinct, but she could exchange an evil warrior’s head for practice resources in Yuntai Suzerain. Practice resources were definitely something she needed.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly while mounting the back of the Snowke Eagle. He rode it and flew into the sky.
Lin Ningshan lifted her head and watched the mysterious teenager standing on the back of the Snowke Eagle. Her gaze held both adoration and admiration.
Compared to the Seventh Prince, she thought that this teenager wearing metal moved her more. He was full of mystery, elegance, power, and surprise. She could find no ws in him.
“Ningshan, who is that man?” Lin Chenyu hurried over. He had lost an arm, but the broken Meridians around his arm had been sealed, and it was no longer bleeding.
Lin Ningshan shook her head. She said, “I don’t know who he is. I only know that he is an Internal student at the School of the Martial Market.”
Lin Chenyu was shocked at the mangled corpses everywhere. “Did he kill all those evil warriors of the ck Tiger Hall?” he asked.
Lin Ningshan nodded his head. He said, “He didn’t take the heads of warriors who were at lower realms. He left them to me.”
Lin Chenyu said, “He isn’t the type to be satisfied with the evil warriors at lower realms. There is a message from the owner of the Yuntai Suzerain that he has finished his self-refining. He will be back at Yunwu District soon.”
“The Seventh Prince has finished his self-refining?” Lin Ningshan was a bit shocked.
Lin Chenyu nodded and said, “In three days, Master will be here in the Earth ze City. With his skill, he will definitely be able to wipe out the Earth ze City. We can also get some resources too.”
Lin Ningshan stared at the departing Snowke Eagle. He said, “I’m afraid by the time the Seventh Prince is here, Zhang Rouchen will have already destroyed it.”
“Even a legendary warrior at the Heaven Realm dares not guarantee that he will be able to wipe out the Earth ze City. He only has the strength of an Internal Student of the School of the Martial Market. Without the help of other Internal Students, he will not even faze the city.” Lin Ningshan smiled coldly.
After seeing Zhang Ruochen’s strength, Lin Ningshan disagreed with Lin Chenyu. “Brother, what should we do now? Should we go back to Yunwu City or wait here for the Seventh Prince?” he asked.
Lin Chenyu thought for a moment and replied, “Don’t you have confidence in him? Let’s go to the Earth ze City. I want to see for myself how powerful he is.”
Earth ze City was a giant market, not a secret organization. It had great influence in the southeast of Yunwu District. Lots of warriors shopped there for practice resources.
So, any warrior could lead Zhang Ruochen to the Earth ze City.
There was ake 25 kilometers away, which was covered by fog all the year round. Visibility was extremely low; often less than a dozen meters. Passengers were regrly lost in theke and discoveredter as floating corpses.
It was said that Earth ze City was in theke. However, only the ck market ships knew the foggy way to the Earth ze City.
Zhang Ruochen told the Snowke Eagle to wait for him in the woods. He walked towards the fog-hiddenke alone and arrived at a busykeside pier.
16 huge ships were docked at the pier. The 10 biggest ships were all equipped with the big gs of the ck Tiger Hall.
Those 10 ships were obviously used to pick up the owner of the ck Tiger Hall. Unfortunately for them, the sailors did not know that he had alread been killled by Zhang Ruochen.
The boatmen watched Zhang Ruochen appear on the pier. He guessed urately from the hostility in their eyes that they were actually disguised warriors of the ck market. Some of them walked toward Zhang Ruochen.
An grizzled man of about 60 years took a look at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Sir, where are you going?”
“Earth ze City!” Zhang Ruochen said.
One-by-one, the warriors loosened their weapons as they became more alert.
The old man smiled calmly. “The gate of the Earth ze City closed two weeks ago, and it won’t be opened to the public.”
A smile crept onto Zhang Ruochen’s face. He asked, “Is the Earth ze City going on guard against masters from the School of the Martial Market?”
One of the warriors began to smile. “I think you are a student from the School of the Martial Market. Young man, you’d better tell me who you are. Otherwise, you will die here, never mind going to the Earth ze City.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. He took out a token. “I’m from the imperial court, and I’m going to buy some practice resources in the Earth ze City.”
Zhang Ruochen had not intended to just barge into the Earth ze City. After all, he did not know its current strength. He decided not to expose his identity as a student of the School of the Martial Market. Instead, he used his imperial court identity.
That old man’s eyes brightened as he looked at Zhang Ruochen’s token. “A Golden Dragon Token! Are you a descendant of the royal family in Yunwu District?”
Zhang Ruochen put away the token and said, “Yes.”
“Since you are from the Royal Family, why are there no royal guards or attendants with you?” The old man was puzzled.
On the surface, the ck market and the official power were enemies. But many people from the imperial court went to the ck market to buy practice resources secretly.
After all, they wanted to practice, too. Some of the unique practice resources could only be bought on the ck market.
Also, some people in the imperial court had acquired treasures with an unknown origin. They could only sell them on the ck market. The ck market dealers had countless ties with officials in the imperial court.
It was perfectly ordinary for people from the Royal Family went to buy practice resources from the ck market.
But it was definitely strange for Zhang Ruochen to keep such a low profile. Usually, the masters from the Royal Family were escorted by a crowd of servants and royal guards. Naturally, the old guard was suspicious.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If I had brought arge number of royal guards and servants, would I be allowed to go to Earth ze City?”
“Certainly not,” the old man said. “Things have changed now. Two weeks ago, the mayor personally ordered that warriors who want to get in the Earth ze City must be checked strictly, especially those whoe from the imperial court. The number of people entering the city each day must not be over ten.”
Zhang Ruochen said with a smile, “It seems that the Earth ze City guards against the imperial court heavily.”
The old man said directly, “At any other time, Earth ze City certainly wouldn’t care about the imperial court. However, the School of the Martial Market has been fighting with the ck market. The army of the imperial court is likely to join in. Earth ze City has to take more precautions.”
Zhang Ruochen spread his hands and said, “You see that I’m alone, can I enter the Earth ze City?”
“Of course.”
Zhang Ruochen was just a teenager, so the old man had no idea that he posed a threat to Earth ze City. If the City held one of the imperial family, the imperial army would think twice before attacking.
“But if you want to enter Earth ze City, you have to pay the ship fee.” The old man narrowed his eyes. He continued, “And, don’t me me for not warning you. Earth ze City is in chaos. It is very tumultuous and dangerous. If a man from the royal family goes there alone, he could be ughtered like a sheep!”
“No worries!”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed a handful of silver coins at random, generously put them in the old man’s hand, and said, “Now give me a ride to the Earth ze City.”
The boatmen watched him stash his money bag.
Their eyes brightened, and some even began to fill with murderous intent.
As he epted the silver coins, the old man changed his attitude greatly. He bowed to Zhang Ruochen with a ttering smile. “Master, please board this boat. I’ll take you to Earth ze City personally.”
Zhang Ruochen boarded the little boat.
That elder in blue stood in the front of the boat and rowed the oars. Ripples spread across the surface of the water. The little boat soon entered the white fog and disappeared.
“He must have grabbed at least 30 coins! He is definitely a fat sheep.”
“Some yboy from the Royal Family, daring toe to Earth ze City alone. Is he really so unfamiliar with the concept of death?”
“It’s a pity that Old He gets him first. Damn.”
“It’s too good for the old man. After this, Old He may add tens of thousands to his wealth.”
“I think it’s more than that.”
The disguised warriors stared enviously as the little boat sailed away.
That teenage punk from the Royal Family would definitely be killed by Old He and turn up as just another corpse in the foggyke.
