"This Wai Arc City isn't too bad. It looks rather prosperous, but a remote and desolate place like Nanzhou is only so-so!" Zheng Tianqing was the second to descend. He followed beside Zheng Dongjue and scanned the surroundings with a look of disdain.
He felt that since he was from the East Continent, he was an influential figure on Middle Island and had connections with the Central Chamber of Commerce and the organization behind him. His status was naturally extraordinary. It was definitely an honor for this shabby place to be able to come to Wai Arc City.
It was a pity that the people of Wai Arc City simply did not know who Zheng Tianqing was, so no one had the time to pay attention to this idiot who put on airs.
It was not that no one paid attention to him. At least one person saw Zheng Dongjue and the others disembark and immediately came forward to stop them.
"You need to pay a toll and a detention fee to enter Wai Arc City. How many of you are there? Do you want to pay individually or together? " The fellow who had come to collect the spirit jades lazily extended his hand and beckoned Zheng Dongjue with his finger.
He did not say how much spirit jades he would need, probably because he wanted to confirm how Zheng Dongjue and the others would pay first. It was a pity that he had met Young Master Zheng Tianqing, so there was no chance for him to say how much spirit jades he would need.
"Get lost! This young master is giving you face by coming to this shabby place, yet you actually dare to collect a toll and detention fee from this young master? Are you f * cking blind? " Zheng Tianqing directly slapped away the hand of the fellow who had collected the spirit jades. He arrogantly raised his chin and looked down at the person who had collected the spirit jades from the corner of his eye.
That person was obviously stunned for a moment, and the lazy expression on his face disappeared without a trace. What followed was a meaningful and interesting smile, and the eyes that looked at Zheng Tianqing also began to shine brightly.
"You actually dare to hit a toll collector in our Wai Arc City? You have guts! I hope you are fat enough! " The fellow whose hand had been slapped away laughed mischievously. After shaking his hand, he placed two fingers in his mouth and blew a clear whistle.
Before Zheng Tianqing could understand what was going on, more than a dozen figures rushed over, their auras rising. Without exception, all of them were at least late-stage Mysterious Ascension experts. At least a third of them were at the Mountain Opening Stage or above. It would be a piece of cake for them to crush Zheng Dongjue and the others.
Zheng Dongjue and Zheng Tianqing's faces turned pale on the spot. From the start, they really did not think much of Wai Arc City. According to previous intelligence, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could run amok in the Wai Arc Sea Region. This time, among the people from the Pill Hall, there were still a few Profound Ascension Stage bodyguards and even a Mountain Opening Stage guest elder.
Because of this, Zheng Tianqing dared to be so presumptuous. If he had known earlier that there were so many experts waiting by the roadside, he, he would not have spoken, let alone made a move.
Actually, the Pill Hall had received information that the Spirit Beast Clan had taken control of the Southern Continent Sea. However, Zheng Dongjue had been wholeheartedly focused on dealing with Lin Yi and the Heavenly Pill Pavilion.
If not for the appearance of the historical remains, Zheng Dongjue reckoned that he would not have taken a step into South Continent. Hence, he did not bother to pay attention to this aspect of intelligence.
Zheng Tianqing was the same. He looked down on South Continent, so why would he study it? In the end, he had kicked an iron plate the moment he came.
If only they had paid more attention to South Continent and collected some intelligence on it, they would not have made such a fool of themselves.
Putting on airs in Wai Arc City, which was controlled by the spirit beasts, was simply asking for death!
"Capture all of them. If anyone resists, kill them on the spot!" The leading spirit beast said coldly. The aura on his body was already at the peak of the late-stage Mountain Opening Stage. Just him alone was enough to suppress everyone in the Pill Hall.
This time, the guest official of the Pill Hall who had followed them was merely an expert at the peak of the early-stage Mountain Opening Stage. In front of so many experts from the spirit beast clan, he did not even dare to think of resisting. Everyone knew that the spirit beast clan was incomparably valiant. In a situation where they were at the same level, they could practically suppress human cultivators. Other than some powerful geniuses, human cultivators were naturally at a disadvantage when facing the spirit beast clan.
"Stop, we are from the Middle Island Pill Hall! You can't attack us casually! We will pay for the toll! "Zheng Tianqing was already panicking. He hurriedly spoke up to show weakness, hoping to appease the other party's anger.
"Toll? It's too late! This is no longer a matter of this small amount of spirit jade! " The fellow who had just collected the toll looked at Zheng Tianqing with a grin. He hid in a corner with his hands behind his back, rejoicing in Zheng Tianqing's misfortune.
His strength was not high. Even Zheng Tianqing was slightly stronger than him. Hence, he had been easily beaten. However, he represented the spirit beast clan. If he dared to attack, it would be equivalent to provoking the entire spirit beast clan!
"So what if you are from the Pill Hall? Even if you are from an ancient family, you still have to obediently follow our rules. If you dare to touch our people, you will have to pay the price! " The leader's face was full of disdain. The other spirit beasts didn't even pause for a second.
The name of the Hall of Elixir was famous, but the only one who was truly worthy was Zhang Liju- he was a top existence wherever he went, and just the Hall of Elixir he left behind was nothing in the eyes of the spiritual beasts, even though it had a great reputation and special privileges in the human world.
"I'm not only from the Pill Hall, I'm also from Dongzhou, I'm …" Zheng Tianqing watched as a slap came towards his face. He wanted to say all the connections he had, but he was sent flying.
If he had said that he had connections with the central merchant group, he might have been treated differently. Unfortunately, Zheng Tianqing didn't know anything about the relationship between the spirit beasts and the central merchant group. The organization behind him had partners with spirit beasts, but these connections were extremely secretive. With his identity, he didn't have access to such information.
The moment Zheng Tianqing was sent flying, the people from the Pill Hall gave up on fighting back. They had no choice, the opponent was simply too strong. Fighting back would only give them an excuse to kill them on the spot. In order to save their lives, it was better to cooperate.
Even so, the spirit beasts didn't show any mercy. They all took the chance to beat up their targets. It wasn't fatal, but it was inevitable that they would suffer.
Zheng Tianqing spat out a mouthful of blood and teeth. Then, countless heavy punches landed on his body. He wanted to speak again, but it was just a few more mouthfuls of blood.
