Chapter 598 - Baocheng MarketJust as Senior Ancestor Fire King said, if you don"t fight, then we shouldn"t get to know each other. You don"t feel guilty, and I, Xu Ruqing, am still alive!
Xu Ruqing politely held onto Yan Hong Yuan"s hand, and Zhang Mengjiao, who was at the side, saw that Xu Ruqing was already relieved, and revealed a smile towards Yan Hong Yuan.
"I, Yan Hongyuan, am so happy to be able to obtain sister"s forgiveness. Really! Especially when my sister pleaded for me when she was about to die, it made my sister extremely guilty. This time, I believe that we will definitely become good sisters! Let"s go, I"ll bring you guys to take a look at our Baocheng! "Seeing that Xu Ruqing and Zhang Mengjiao were relieved, Yan Hong Iris"s face revealed great joy. She grabbed onto Xu Ruqing with one hand and flew down the main street.
"Brother Jian Wei, many thanks for your help today. Also... Also, those four Fellow Daoists that I accidentally killed not too long ago … I am truly sorry! "
After Xu Ruqing and the other two left, Li Mu cupped his hands and said with an embarra.s.sed look on his face.
"Sigh!" Brother, although your cultivation is one stage lower than me, your strength is much stronger than mine, and you are still a disciple of the Senior Wine King, so there is no need to be so polite between us, and as for the four guards who died, you don"t need to be angry, since the City Lord has let you down, if you have time, you can come to the North City Gate to find me, and we can drink in the best restaurant in the Baocheng, and get drunk together! We can be considered as friends if we don"t fight! "Ever since Jian Wei found out that Li Mu was the disciple in the wine cup, he had always been very kind to Li Mu, and now, he even straightforwardly invited Li Mu.
"Good!" As soon as I have time, I will definitely come and drink to my heart"s content with my brother! "See you later!"Li Mu had a good impression of the burly middle-aged man, so he cupped his hands towards him, and then followed Ouyang Ye to chase after Xu Ruqing and the other two.
"Qing`er!" This girl is not a good person. You better be careful, or else you"ll forget the pain after your scars have healed! " After catching up to Xu Ruqing, Li Mu stood behind Xu Ruqing and whispered to her.
"Wood! Looking at how Yan Hong Yuan had severely injured me and was close to death, according to how my great-grandfather had a temper in the past, even if she was the granddaughter of Southern Flame King"s Yan Xiao and my great-grandfather wouldn"t let her off! "
"But now even my great-grandfather is swallowing his anger. Don"t you think that there"s something strange about this?"As Xu Ruqing walked along the streets of Baocheng with Yan Hongyuan and a few others, they quietly replied Li Mu with sound transmissions.
"What do you mean? Could it be that there"s some other way?" Upon hearing what Xu Ruqing said, Li Mu immediately became suspicious.
"Sigh!" Have you forgotten Rogue Cultivator Alliance? This Rogue Cultivator Alliance was founded by my grandfather, the Thunder King and the Fire King. My grandfather said just now that he wanted to discuss about Rogue Cultivator Alliance with Southern Flame King.
"This time, Peng Family has gone too far, she actually went inside the Wine Spirit Wonderland. Sigh, this anger is probably hard for my grandfather to swallow, he has been building up his own power outside the sect all these years, if you add on the power of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, it"s not impossible for him to destroy Peng Family!"
"Therefore, it"s impossible for him to have a falling out with Southern Flame King. Of course, this is under the premise that I"m safe and sound. If I really died in the hands of Yan Hong Yuan today, I estimate that with my grandfather"s violent temper, he would definitely not let this matter rest!" Xu Ruqing patiently explained with a sound transmission to Li Mu.
"Rogue Cultivator Alliance? ~ Does this Rogue Cultivator Alliance not belong to Baocheng? Isn"t the Baocheng a gathering place for rogue cultivators? " Li Mu continued to ask as he was not too familiar with the situation in the Baocheng.
Baocheng and Rogue Cultivator Alliance are two different concepts, the so-called Baocheng was said to have been established tens of thousands of years ago by a rogue cultivator who had heaven warping talent, the Azure Sky Tyrant King was said to be surnamed Chu and was also known as the Overlord of Chu. He is a legendary figure, and it is said that his cultivation talent is not considered very good, so after stepping into the cultivation world, he was bullied by a lot of people."This person"s cultivation is very high, and he is unrivalled with the Void End Hammer Technique. It is said that very few people of the same cultivation level can receive three hammers from him, so people in the cultivation world call him Chu Sanshuang. The reason he created this Baocheng is because he was used to people bullying him when he was a rogue cultivator, and you also know that although rogue cultivators are not lacking in strong people, they are unable to contend against those large sects."
"So, Chu Ba w.a.n.g had a thought, which was to gather all the rogue cultivators in the world together and create a force. Although it is not a long battle with the big sects, at least he can protect himself from being bullied, so he had this Baocheng."
"After the establishment of the Baocheng, King Chu was afraid that as time pa.s.sed, the City Lord would take control of the city and develop towards a more powerful sect. Hence, he gave the order that when the City Lord succeeded the Baocheng, he would have to swear an oath using the devilish heart, and only then would he be able to take over the City Lord"s medallion."
"This is the Baocheng. It seems to be an impressive power, but it doesn"t have a real ruler, because even the mayor himself is under the control of the Elders Guild, which is made up of cultivators with high cultivation and prestige. They are only responsible for the safety of the Baocheng and are mainly supported by the rogue cultivators living in the city."
"And although the Mayor controls the City Lord"s Mansion, he can only order the City Lord"s Mansion to recruit guards from among the rogue cultivators. This kind of system is bound to make it difficult for the Baocheng to gather power, and it will also be difficult for them to develop towards the power of the sect."The three of them all have a group of loyal followers. Although these people are rogue cultivators, they all have a kind of crazy worship for True King Stage expert like my grandfather"s, so as long as there"s a need, they can quickly gather a lot of power. "Su Yun said.
This made Li Mu a little surprised. In his opinion, Xu Ruqing was just a young miss who didn"t know anything about the world, but he didn"t expect her to know so much.So that"s how it is, I got it, this should be one of the tricks Master used to deal with the Peng Family, why didn"t I think of that, if I had a group of people loyal to me, it would be much better than me facing certain matters alone, I think Master would probably want to borrow the Fire King and Thunder King"s power in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and with that, he would have a chance of fighting against the Peng Family.
Li Mu suddenly thought back to what Yu Hongyi had told him before she left. That was what Yu Hongyi had suggested to him at that time, and Li Mu remembered that this was a method to teach Yu Hongyi a lesson while she was drunk.
Xu Ruqing nodded and replied, "Yes, that"s why we can"t get too close with Senior Fire King, and if possible, in the future, if you want to deal with Heartless Palace, you might be able to borrow Senior Fire King"s power. Of course, this is on the premise that the other party is willing, since Heartless Palace isn"t like Peng Family, which is a hard nut to crack, furthermore, after your ruckus today, Fire King"s impression of you definitely won"t be too good, at least Lord of Baocheng, Yan Zhenbei doesn"t really like you."Li Mu became silent upon hearing this, he was only concerned with getting angry today, he had truly not thought about what Xu Ruqing had just said, and very quickly, under the lead of Yan Hongyuan, Li Mu and the rest pa.s.sed through more than ten streets. On the way, the two girls, Yan Hongyuan and Xu Ruqing, talked and laughed, while Li Mu and Ouyang Ye followed behind the three of them.
"Sisters, this is the biggest market in Baocheng. There are many auctions taking place here every day, would you like to take a look?"
Not long after, Yu Hongyi brought Xu Ruqing and the others to a vast market city. This market city took up an extremely large amount of s.p.a.ce, as if it was a separate region, and when Li Mu and the others were still outside the market building, they could clearly feel the population of this market city, because just the sounds of their conversation could already be heard from the streets outside the market city.
"I"m interested. Let"s go take a look!"Li Mu suddenly remembered that he still had a few more materials that he could use to rebuild his body, thus he was the first to agree on behalf of Zhang Mengjiao and Xu Ruqing. This made Yan Hongyuan unable to refrain from rolling her eyes, although she and Xu Ruqing had made up, she had never shown Li Mu any kind of face, at least after wandering in Baocheng for more than two hours, the two of them had never spoken.
To Yan Hongyuan, this was not only because Li Mu had injured her previously, he had also destroyed her beloved mount with a single punch. On the other hand, Li Mu had almost killed Xu Ruqing earlier because of this girl, so he did not have any intentions of building a good relationship with her.
If that"s the case, I advise you not to daydream. Although our Baocheng is a first cla.s.s Cultivation City, if you want to find such a holy treasure, you can ignore it! "Su Yun said." Let"s go then.
Yan Hongyuan thought that Li Mu was going to the city square because of the Stellar jadeite, and laughed coldly."What does my going to the city square have to do with you? If you don"t want to go, no one will come to invite you. Brother Qing`er, Meng Jiao, Ouyang Ming, let"s go!"
Li Mu was not angered by Yan Hong Yuan"s sarcastic remarks. After replying to his with a sentence, he called out to Xu Ruqing and the other two, and took the lead to enter the market."Him! This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I kindly told him, he actually … "This is so infuriating!"
Looking at Li Mu who was the first to enter the marketplace, Yan Hong"s beautiful face turned red, and a bellyful of anger could not be dispersed.
"Alright, Little Sister Hong Yuan, don"t mind him. He has such a bad temper. Let"s go in together!"
Xu Ruqing did not want the conflict between Li Mu and Yan Hong Yuan to become even more intense, so she advised Yan Hong Yuan who was hiding her lips, then pulled Yan Hong Yuan along as they walked towards the bustling and noisy marketplace.
