Chapter 978: Storm In Ninestar (1)

Morning arrived.

Life returned to Empyrean Cloud City. The residents started leaving their homes, and the stores started opening for business.

Su Yu walked out of his temporary residence as well. He had not found any of the so-called ancient building opportunities so far. But he no longer cared. After entering so many ancient buildings, he had never found anything. For him, these opportunities might as well not exist.

Leaving his residence, he was greeted with a bustling street. Countless people were talking about Heavendoom City.

"What a tragedy."

"Yeah. Truly a big tragedy."

"There are over twenty Sunmoons, with a few of them being high-stage Sunmoons, dead. Not one of them survived."

"That's not all. A large number of experts operating in this region have perished as well."

"I heard thirty percent of the residents there perished as well. Corpses filled the city."

"Only a few young geniuses survived. Everyone else died. I heard more than ten Invincibles went there yesterday. They declared war against the death spirits and fought a fierce battle..."

"Bullshit. Heavendoom isn't even that far from this city. If there were really so many Invincibles fighting, we would have been able to sense the shockwaves even here."

"In any case, a lot of people perished. And a large number of Invincibles went there."

"..."

This was the hottest topic in the city. In fact, it was quite a bizarre sight. Lambs were conversing with leopards. Panthers were conversing with birds. Birds were conversing with bugs.

This was the Allheaven Battlefield. Such harmony might not be present anywhere else, but this was an ancient city. This was a safe zone. Thus, the bizarre sight of members from opposing races conversing peacefully was present here.

"I heard Su Yu managed to flee. Not even Invincibles could catch him."

"I wonder if a war will break out from this. Will the myriad races start hunting the humans in the Allheaven Battlefield?"

"It's hard to say. According to my brother, more than ten human Invincibles appeared near the human border. Their powerful auras spread thousands of kilometers to announce their arrival. The human race is still quite powerful. Many races will still be afraid of fully offending them."

Yes. The human race was still very strong. With more than ten of their Invincibles arriving at the border, a war might break out at any moment. However, were the divines and devils ready to start an all-out war at this moment?

Su Yu went straight to the point, "Are you trying to sell me something?"

"..."

The old man laughed without any awkwardness and hurriedly said, "Brother, I killed a dragon with a few of my brothers not long ago. The inner core of that dragon is very beneficial for warriors. Unfortunately, one of my brothers is in serious need of money due to his injuries. We have no choice but to sell the inner core. But we are worried that we will strengthen our enemies by selling the inner core to them. Thus, we decided to sell it to a fellow human instead...

"With one look, I can see that you're a great expert among warriors. The inner core is very beneficial for body forging. It can even help with source qi transformation. It's very useful. Are you interested, Brother?"

Su Yu indifferently said, "No thanks. There are side effects to using the inner cores of dragons."

"Think about it, Brother. The price is definitely negotiable..."

Su Yu said, "This is my first time in Empyrean Cloud City. I'm not too familiar with this city. Point me to a good fence for goods disposal and I'll consider buying your inner core."

A good fence.

That was very straightforward, but the old man wasn't surprised. This was very normal.

He said, "You're asking the right person, Brother. In this city, three options stand out from the rest if you want to get rid of items, no questions asked. The most reliable of them is definitely the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. I believe you already know about them."

Su Yu kept the same expression, but inwardly, he was shocked. Was the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion really so brazen? They were openly setting shop in the city?

Then again, this was an ancient city. They would be fine. It was unlikely that anyone would try anything against them here.

"Secondly, you have the Thousand Region Alliance. And thirdly, you have the Allheaven Treasure House."

Su Yu did not know these organizations that well. But the reading materials Ye Hongyan gave him did touch on these organizations slightly. He knew a little about the Thousand Region Alliance. This was an alliance of several minor races. It was worth noting that a race would be classified as a minor race as long as it did not have an Invincible.

The Thousand Region Alliance was an organization founded by ninth-stage Sunmoons. These Sunmoons were the leaders of minor realms who would rarely leave their realms. Even in the event of conflict, they would be able to fend off the attacks of Invincibles as long as the number of attacking Invincibles was kept relatively low.

Of course, the human race was the exception to that. The biggest wish of these minor realm leaders was to become an Invincible and promote their respective races into the top 100 races. With an Invincible, a race would be able to better protect itself against other Invincibles.

Thanks to the realm suppression, a single Invincible could resist the attack of even ten foreign Invincibles. As for the Allheaven Treasure House, Su Yu knew very little about it. Its name sounded impressive, but it was not necessarily a large organization.

Su Yu nodded and said, "I'll visit the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion first. Please lead the way, Brother. I need to sell some stuff there. When I'm cash-rich again, I can consider buying your inner core."

The old man laughed, "Brother, everyone knows the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is greedy. Yes, the prices there are decent. But they don't usually entertain sellers with items they deem worthless. Yet when you try to sell something good to them, they will only offer you the standard price. If the things you're selling aren't that valuable, I suggest you look for the Thousand Region Alliance or the Allheaven Treasure House. At the very least, you can try to bargain for a better price with them. That will never happen when dealing with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion."
