Chapter 86: King's request
"Heaven Grade Artifact?"
The third elder was delighted instead of being angry and he smiled. "That's great! I didn't expect a kid like you to have such a treasure. Come here; now, it belongs to me!"
His punch landed from above anew as he hollered, "Disappear!Who gave you the right to own such a treasure?"Expplôre uptodate stories at no/vel//bin(.)com
Hong!
Another extremely strong fist attack that caused the space around to quake. His fist energy covered the area and surged towardme!
"D*mn!"Dong Yuanbai moved forwardand shouted; his palms were filled with the strength from Wind Cloud Fist. "Brothers from the Wind Cloud Platform, gather all of our strength to fight him; we can't let our senior brother get attacked by him!"
"Right, go all out!"
Behind me, a bunch of Wind Cloud Platform disciples gathered energy and then streaks of death energy surged into the sky!
...
Right at that moment, a loud voice echoed about!
"Preposterous!"
Shortly after, the space around twisted and a blood light appeared. A huge palm swept across, and the third elder's fist attack was negated. Not only that, the huge palm smacked right onto the third elder's body!
"Ah~"
The third elder cried in pain and his body-protecting energy was reduced into dust. Shortly after, his body started to disintegrate under this palm attack. His skin broke down inch by inch and his flesh and blood started burning up. Even his white bones started shattering. In the end, he totally disappeared under the palm strike with not even a strand of hair left!
"..."
All of us were stunned.What kind of strength was that?It was too strong!
"Its... the... City Lord!"
The bunch of Xia familys old men were scared into kneeling on the ground. Their voices trembled as they said, "Greetings... City Lord!"
In the air, the Blood Cloud did not move at all. A confident and certain voice echoed. "Xia Tianlan broke the Black Castles laws when he tried to kill a genius of the young generation.Therefore, hes been executed! Beast Peak belongs to the Purgatory Lion species, one of the founding races of Black Castle. All the Xia family disciples back out and return Beast Peak to the Purgatory Lion race. If you dare to try this coup d'etat again, your whole family will be exterminated!"
All of a sudden, everyone from the Xia family trembled and they nodded. They then left from our side and headed down the mountain.
...
"Great... That is great!"
The bunch of injured Purgatory Lions all cheered. Shortly after, they knelt to the Wind Cloud Platform disciples and me.
I could not accept that, so I brought the Wind Cloud Platform disciples away. As I was leaving, I told Two Balls to have a good rest.
Wind Cloud Platform.
The disciples all scattered until only I was left. Master Ding Heng stood proudly above and smiled. "Not bad. Fortunately, you had an artifact.If not... this would probably be a tribulation for the Wind Cloud Platforms young generation."
I frowned. "Master, if we got killed, what would you do?"
He replied calmly, "The Land of Reincarnation is deep-rooted in Black Castle and the Wind Cloud Platform isn't able to fully go against them. I can't fight Zhuang Huai Shui to the death because of the few of you, but... I will definitely take revenge and wipe out the Xia family!"
I felt warm inside. "Thank you, master!"
"You don't have to thank me."
"Senior Uncle Zhang Xiaoshan?" I was shocked.
"Right. You just cultivate properly on your own."
Ding Heng smiled and disappeared into the wind.
I stood on the spot and thought back to what Zhang Xiaoshan looked like. He looked like an old man on his last breath; who knew that he was strong? As long as he was there, even experts like Luo Tianxing would get killed?
This Black Castle really had deep waters!
I took a deep breath. It seemed like I needed to cultivate well. The more I understood about Black Castle, the weaker I felt I was. I was the same as Lin Buyi, whom I met when I just arrived. Maybe calamity from the sky would shatter me and break me into pieces.
...
"Time to eat; time to eat!"Ah Fei's voice came from outside.
I nodded my head. "I know; I am coming!"
I looked at the mail from the auction house. Since yesterday morning, the items I auctioned off had been getting sold. So far, I gained over 7000+. As the game progressed, more and more Rare and Super Rare blue equipment was dropped. With the items no longer being unique on the market, the prices would drop, too. Level 35 Super Rare equipment went from 5000 at the start to only 1000 now.
Still, it was still a huge amount. I passed half to Ah Fei and then went offline.
I took off my helmet and looked at the time. It was already 11:30. I was shocked. "D*mn!Time passes so fast; it is already noon!"
"En, it really is quick."He smiled while placing his helmet down. "Did you get anything in the morning?"
"No, I was doing a storyline quest."
"The entire morning? You shouldve gotten a lot of experience, right?"
"None at all."I pouted. "Solely storyline."
"D*mn, your job is so weird..."
"Haha! I will get used to it. What would we eat for lunch?"
"Big plated chicken?"
"Let's go!"
...
At a certain stall, the big plated chicken along with a bowl of noodles was placed in the middle. Just by smelling it, I was really tempted. When I ate the dish, it felt much better. A morning of work did make me really hungry. After eating my fill, I touched my stomach and asked, "What about you? What did you do in the morning? Did you level?"
"Nope."He shook his head. "How would I even have time? My Master was staring at me to study inscriptions."
"Oh, oh.Did you comprehend anything?"
"Its too hard," he said solemnly. "This job is just sick.A really complicated inscription was placed in front of me to copy. Whats worse is that my master told me to comprehend the power within. How should I comprehend it? Im just a mortal; I couldn't comprehend anything at all."
I recalled what had happened in Black Castle and smiled. "Shen Feng is right; maybe you will gain something."
"Really?"
"En, just persist."
"Okay, then I shall not train these few days!"
"En, I will be the fighter; you can just analyze matters related to the Inscriber job."
"Okay, I understand!"
