Chapter 610 - Blue Devil Flame
“Welcome, dear Sir.” A beautiful lady approached Long Chen. She wore the same uniform as the other ladies working in the pagoda, a snow-white fox fur jacket. The delicate brocade hugged her body to show her curves. Her irresistible snow-white leg was in full view.
The lady became friendlier when she noticed Long Chen’s clothes. “Dear Sir, do you require my assistance? I will guide you if you wish to buy anything.”
Her voice was as sweet as singing canaries and her smile was bewitching.
But Long Chen ignored her as he looked at the first floor. It was a massive room that spanned dozens of square Mu.[1] He couldn’t even see the end, and numerous spiritual herbs, martial techniques, weapons, and treasures filled the space.
Everything could be found here.
But everything on this floor was at the Heaven-tier, so Long Chen didn’t need any of it. “I need to go up.”
The lady had expected that. “Please follow me.”
As she climbed up, her hips swayed to appeal to Long Chen.
Long Chen followed her all the way up to the fifth floor. Most of the items here were still at the Heaven-tier, but all of them were at the advanced Heaven-tier. If he went up more, he would find King-tier items. The lady asked, “Sir, I do not have permission to go to the sixth floor and above. If you need to go up there, my supervisor will guide you instead.”
Long Chen nodded.
She then led Long Chen to an old man with golden glasses. The old man looked at him once and said, “Are you the Hundred-War Martial King?”
Long Chen nodded.
After confirming his identity, the old man smiled and nodded. “I fear that I’ve used up all my luck to receive a visit from the Hundred-War Martial King, haha. Please follow me.”
Seeing how the old man wasn’t afraid of him, Long Chen was certain that the old man was at the same ranking as Martial Kings. He was also certain that many other Martial Kings had come here before.
There are probably some Martial Kings on the sixth floor and above. I should just get what I want and leave as soon as possible. Long Chen suddenly realized that it wasn’t that simple to get what he wanted on the eighth floor.
“I don’t know what you need, Hundred-War Martial King, but we have everything except for the Five Emperor Seals.” Even though the old man was exaggerating, the riches of the Martial Merchant Alliance were indeed frightening.
“I need to go to the eighth floor.”
“Ah ...” The eighth floor was where the Martial Merchant Alliance kept their most precious items. Usually, only those at the Second Earthly Martial Stage had enough money to purchase them, so the old man was shocked.
But after working for so long, the old man knew that a silent person was the deadliest. The Hundred-War Martial king was infamous for his silence and didn’t have many friends, but the old man wouldn’t underestimate him.
Most of them were warriors from the Martial Alliance, but the person walking at the front was extremely familiar. It was none other than Zhao Danchen. He was smiling as he led a beautiful woman into the floor. The woman was naturally an extreme beauty that even the ladies at the shop couldn’t compare to.
Seeing how Zhao Danchen was being so affectionate to her, Long Chen assumed that she was just one of many women he preyed upon.
Long Chen tensed up when he saw Zhao Danchen. It was an unfortunate meeting, but all he could do was hope that his disguise would hold up.
In order to prevent strong cultivators like Zhao Danchen from recognizing Long Chen’s aura, Lan Xiang’er had used a special ointment that disguised his aura as that of someone at the First Earthly Martial Stage.
Since his aura has been covered up, Long Chen wasn’t worried about Zhao Danchen discovering his true identity. In fact, even Jiang Wuya couldn’t tell that he was Long Chen in disguise.
Zhao Danchen and the beautiful lady were walking and flirting. A lady of the Martial Merchant Alliance was guiding the way for them.
When the old man saw Zhao Danchen, he ignored Long Chen and quickly kneeled. “Greetings, Martial Emperor Zhao.”
Zhao Danchen waved his hand and finally spotted Long Chen.
The old man needed to kneel, but Long Chen didn’t have to since he was a Martial King. He bowed and said, “Chen Guangjun greets Martial Emperor Zhao.”
“Chen Guangjun ... I remember you. You are the subordinate of Yang Ningfeng.” Zhao Danchen’s gaze pierced through Long Chen’s body. Long Chen shivered, not because of Zhao Danchen, but because he was wary of the Martial Overlord.
There were three Martial Emperors, and each of them led over a dozen Martial Kings. Chen Guangjun was under the guidance of Yang Ningfeng, but with his death, Chen Guangjun didn’t have a superior now.
Long Chen lowered his head and answered, “Yes, Emperor Zhao.”
Zhao Danchen was displeased by how quiet Long Chen was, but then recalled how Chen Guangjung was a Martial King who was overly loyal to the Martial Alliance but usually talked very little. He decided to ignore Long Chen when the woman beside him pulled on his arm. “Brother Zhao, I want that Blue Devil Flame. I’m already at the Ninth Passage Stage, so once I become stronger and reach the Earthly Martial Realm, I can absorb the flame and become strong.”
Long Chen scowled slightly. It appeared that Zhao Danchen was accompanying the lady to take the Blue Devil Flame. With his identity, the Martial Merchant Alliance wouldn’t dare to take his money since the person behind Zhao Danchen was the Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Danchen hugged the lady and teased her. “I can give you the Blue Devil Flame, but how will you thank me tonight?”
“You are so bad ...” The lady raised a small fist and lightly thumped on Zhao Danchen’s chest. They completely ignored Long Chen and the others.
Long Chen dared not reveal his identity, so he waited to see what would happen.
Zhao Danchen and the lady flirted for a while before he commanded the old man, “Put the Blue Devil Flame into a Universe Pouch and give it to my darling.”
