Chapter 858: Dragonmount Meet in Dragonmount City

Bat Spellcaster shook his head. “I don’t know either.”

“I wonder who they are? Stargazer and Moon-Moving Grandma went so far as to use their Fate Threads Disc and Heaven Viewing Book, but they were still unable to divine Sword Ghoul’s location. On the other hand, this person was able to report Sword Ghoul’s location again and again almost as if they were the worm in his stomach! How curious!”

Water Fairy stroked her black hair absentmindedly and caused it to ripple like water.

“There are people beyond person, and skies beyond sky. That is all,” Bat Spellcaster replied indifferently.

“That’s true.” Water Fairy smiled. “If only we can recruit this person somehow. I’m sure the Seventy Two Water Land Alliance would climb even higher as a result.”

“All extraordinary persons are supported by a skeleton of pride. Considering their skill, I doubt they will choose to serve the likes of us.” Bat Spellcaster shook his head.

“It’s not completely out of the question. The fact that they helped us repeatedly seems to suggest that they plan to garner our good will, right?”

Water Fairy giggled. “Besides, there is no such thing as an immovable heart. It is just a matter of sincerity and stakes.”

“Makes sense.” Bat Spellcaster let out a cold chuckle. “All humans have something they desire in life, and so long they have desire, they have weaknesses that we may exploit.”

“You are as wise as ever, Spellcaster.” Water Fairy smirked. “But those plans can wait. Right now, our first priority is to capture Sword Ghoul. Should we contact the others?”

“Why should we?”

Bat Spellcaster glanced at her. “Sword Ghoul is strong, but he is also seriously injured and completely out of supplies. With you and my strength, can we not capture a wounded person? Why should you or I surrender our rightful opportunity to others? What do you think, Fairy?”

Water Fairy giggled. “I obey your will, Spellcaster. Please, perform your magic.”

“No worries. From the moment I found him, his chances of escaping have dropped to near zero.” Bat Spellcaster let out another chuckle. “Speaking of which, my Baby Bat just discovered his tracks. This way, please.”

Bat Spellcaster abruptly dissolved into a cloud of bats before flying in a certain direction.

This was also why the Dragonmount Meet was mostly unaffected even though the matter regarding Chen Cang had brought great shame to the Seventy Two Water Land Alliance and caused quite a lot of commotion.

There was also the fact that the Dragonmount Meet was only led by the Seventy Two Water Land Alliance and held in Dragonmount City. It wasn’t held by the Seventy Two Water Land Alliance only, and all sorts of factions were involved in its coordination. Just because the Seventy Two Water Land Alliance was facing trouble did not mean that the Dragonmount Meet could be halted or even canceled for their sake.

Besides, the Seventy Two Water Land Alliance didn’t want to halt the Dragonmount Meet. If anything, they were promoting it harder than they ever did in the past probably because they were hoping to use it to shift the jianghu people’s attention away from their recent failures and shame. Because of this, the Dragonmount Meet was almost certainly going to be livelier than ever before.

The reason Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou were still staying in Dragonmount City was because of the Dragonmount Meet. But although the Dragonmount Meet attracted tens of thousands of visitors every year, not everyone possessed the right to participate in the event.

One must meet at least one requirement in order to participate in the event: they must either be famous, or they must be rich.

The requirement was as simple as it was cruel. Countless visitors were barred from participation simply because Dragonmount Meet’s standards for either requirement was extremely high.

First, fame. The Dragonmount Meet did not require its participants to be known throughout the jianghu, but at the very least, they must be well known within the wulin of Yan. To be more specific, they must be a gang leader, a sect master, or a named warrior on the Earth Champions Ranking etc.

Second, wealth. Only those who possessed at least one hundred thousand silver or items whose total value was equal to or higher than that number would be allowed to participate in the Dragonmount Meet.

One hundred thousand silver was no joke. For the large majority of people, it was an astronomical sum of money they could never earn in a lifetime.

In summary, countless people came to Dragonmount City each year, but the number of people who actually qualified to attend it was few and far between.

This was fine though. This indirectly proved that the Dragonmount Meet was a grand and high standard auction.

Ye Qing was a nobody in Yan, so he did not meet the first requirement. However, he was wealthy. Stupidly so. After all, the wealth Goddess City had accumulated for centuries had all fallen into his pockets. Forget one hundred thousand silver, he could produce even one million silver, not to mention his hoard of Strange Artifacts, pills, martial arts manuals and more. Any one of these objects would qualify him as a participant.

The power of one, the power of two, the power of money~[1]

He had already gotten the badge necessary to enter the Dragonmount Meet a few days ago. Now, all he needed to do was to attend it and win the Thousand Frost Fire.
