The Firerock race was a standard level-6 civilization, and a few Heavenly Gates pupils had come from their Faction. Even the current Sect Leader was from the Heavenly Gates Combat Cultivation Hall. To some people who had not entered this circle, the Heavenly Gates sequence might be mysterious and powerful, and they did not dare to provoke them. However, to the Firerock race, they understood their methods very well. An Earthling might not be a good thing.
The Heavenly Treasures Street, which had been discussing animatedly, instantly quieted down. They had thought that it would be enough to mention Wang Zhong, who was in the Heavenly Gates sequence, but they did not expect that they would not take him seriously at all.
"Law enforcement squad …" Mugthol braced himself, but just as he opened his mouth, he was cut off by the other party.
"What? Do you need us to repeat the trick between the Shell Shade Faction and the Heavenly Treasures Street?" The Firerock leader was disdainful and coldly said, "I'll say the ugly words first. If we settle this privately, we will still pay you 1,000 Silver Star Stones per month. However, if you force me to play a few rounds of law enforcement games with you, the amount will be far from this. After all, my time is very precious. "
The so-called law enforcement games were to exploit loopholes in the system, just like how the Shell Shade Faction had dealt with the Heavenly Treasures Street. They would either find scapegoats to kill some of the leaders, or they would kill them one by one and use the lives of their subordinates to exchange for their own lives. Then, they would see how long they could last. They would also find some people to block the streets. The Heavenly Treasures Street could not do business, but the law enforcement squad would not care. They could freely stand on the streets. There was no such law enforcement rule in the law. In other words, if this kind of Faction wanted to play with a group of ordinary merchants, they would definitely not be able to win.
It was not that the Star Alliance could not formulate more perfect laws to restrict this situation. To put it bluntly, the Star Alliance had tacitly agreed to the existence of this rule. You would occupy your territory based on your strength. This was another layer of exploitation outside of the Star Alliance. After all, the high-leveled civilizations that presided over the Star Alliance had eaten the meat, so they had to leave some soup for the other civilizations. If not, they would have rebelled long ago. If they wanted to rely on the law enforcement squad for this, it would simply be nonsense in front of the powers that understood the rules.
At that moment, the entire street fell silent. From Lao Wang's rise to his departure, only a few months had passed without the heavy burden of exploitation. They had never expected that they would return to their old ways so quickly. Furthermore, the Firerock race was obviously even more ruthless. 1,000 Silver Star Stones per month? That was 100,000 Star Coins per month. If the hundreds of merchants in Heavenly Treasures Street shared it equally, this was even more shady than the Ninth Wilderness Path!
"Uncle Thor!"
"Uncle Thol, kill him!"
In the quiet street, someone finally could not help but shout loudly. Everyone looked at Mugthol. Wang Zhong was not around, so the Heavenly Treasures Street could only rely on him.
"Then let's follow the rules!"
Old Suo was not careless. Although he could sense that there was a difference in strength between him and the Flamerock leader, running away was not his style. At that moment, without saying anything, the spiritual energy on his body suddenly spread out, and his real body expanded rapidly. At the same time, he pulled Old Cow, who was almost burnt to a crisp, behind him.
He had made up his mind to go all out. As long as the fight was big enough, it would soon attract the people from the law enforcement team. Although it was only a temporary escape, he could only take one step at a time.
But no matter how fast he was, the Firerock leader was even faster.
Fire Technique — Thousand Grand Flames!
He opened his mouth wide, and an extremely condensed fireball shot out like a comet. There was no space or opportunity for Mugthol to dodge. With a boom, it fiercely struck Mugthol's chest.
Bang!
This fireball came too quickly, and Mugthol did not even have the chance to react. He was instantly hit!
At that moment, the powerful crocodile skin defense had not been completely formed. Under the attack of this fireball, it did not even have the chance to resist before it was completely disintegrated. The massive impact sent him flying, and his real body was instantly destroyed. His entire body was pushed back hundreds of meters by the fireball, leaving behind a long, wide, and black burn mark!
Pfft!
Uncle Thor simply spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and exhausted the power of the fireball. He knelt on the ground and could not get up. Thankfully, his skin was thick and he had not been killed instantly. However, the smell of barbecued meat on his body made him lose all thoughts of continuing to fight. In the divine territory, the lowest level was combat power. The highest level was the power of rules, lightning techniques, and fire techniques. Furthermore, only an extremely small number of races could control these. If his opponent did not have the power of fire techniques, he would definitely have a 50% chance of winning. However, now, it was a 0/10.
The people around them were all dumbfounded.
Mugthol, who they had relied on, had been killed in one move. Although Mugthol was not considered an expert in the Void Core Realm, he had accumulated his Core for more than 50 years and had a certain level of combat power. He could even fight against Yin Jiao, a genius who had just advanced to the Void Core Realm.
"Uncle Thor, Uncle Thor!"
"Law enforcement squad! Where is the law enforcement squad? Inform the law enforcement squad. Someone is fighting and causing trouble in the streets! "
"The Shell Shade Faction has just left, and they are here again? Are they not giving us a way out? Go and sue them! "
Mugthol was not their match, but the merchants on the street were not scared either. In their eyes, these Firerock people were no different from the Shell Shade Faction. Furthermore, Mugthol had a good reputation on this street and was very respected. At that moment, when they regained their senses, many people impulsively stepped forward. Old Cow, who had recovered, rushed to the front and protected Mugthol.
"Reckless." The Firerock leader looked at Mugthol, who was being supported by others, as well as the noisy crowd on the street. He coldly laughed and said, "It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you will not be well-behaved."
He waved his left hand slightly, and a ball of fire gathered in his palm. Then, he looked at a small three-story building that had just been built. It was new and was taller than the other houses in the Heavenly Treasures Street. "Let me show you some fireworks!"
"No, Brother!" Unlike the other people who were filled with righteous indignation, a toad-like goblin looked at the Firerock leader's target and was about to collapse. He cried bitterly. Previously, when Yin Jiao and the others had fought, their building had been destroyed. They had just repaired it, and now it was happening again? How bad was the geomancy of that place?
The Firerock leader did not care about him. At that moment, the ball of fire had already formed. The Firerock leader flicked his finger.
Zeng!
The fire shot out, and the newly repaired building exploded in an instant. The fire soared into the sky like a brilliant firework.
Crackle, crackle …
Without any hesitation or sloppiness, he simply burned the building. This was much more intense than what the father and son of the Shell Shade Faction had done in the past. From the looks of it, if everyone still dared to cause trouble, he would probably burn the entire street or even kill people on the street.
The somewhat impulsive crowd was scared into silence. No one dared to stand out at this moment. Only the crackling sound of the burning building could be heard on the entire street. The Firerock leader's cold voice spread throughout the entire place. "I am different from the Shell Shade Faction. I do not have much patience and do not mind giving you something more violent. There is only one chance. You …"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a huge curtain of water fall from the sky. Not only did it extinguish the burning building, but it also drenched the Firerock people behind the Firerock leader, causing them to cry out miserably. This wasn't ordinary water. It contained dense Spiritual Qi, and the level of Spiritual Qi was very high. It wasn't something that ordinary Firerock people could contend against. The flames on their bodies were instantly extinguished, and terrifying white steam came out as miserable screams filled the air.
This change had happened too quickly. The indignant expressions on the street instantly became dull. They did not know which great god had arrived.
"Who is it? Tell me your name! " The Firerock leader's expression was very ugly. Could it be the Heavenly Shell race that could instantly mobilize such a massive amount of water elemental spiritual power?
In the divine territory, some races had a natural affinity with thunder techniques and fire techniques. However, water techniques were relatively rare. The most famous race was the Heavenly Shell race.
"Bah! Do you think you are worthy of asking for my name? " A delicate voice that carried a tinge of rudeness and anger exploded in the air. Although the voice was not loud, it had an incomparable charm to it. Even the people standing at the end of the street could hear it clearly.
A gentle feeling that made people feel relaxed and happy descended from the sky. The street, which had been filled with heat due to the appearance of the Flamerock people, instantly became much cooler and more comfortable. At the same time, a petite but extremely dazzling figure appeared in the air.
Her entire body emitted a gentle light that resembled water ripples. She was holy, clean, and untainted. Her features were as beautiful and exquisite as those of a fairy. Her curvaceous and exquisite figure was like that of a devil. She had a pair of transparent wings and a proud expression …
"An, an elemental spirit?!"
Everyone on the street was instantly dumbfounded.
What had they seen? They had actually seen an elemental spirit! This was a legendary species. Although it only appeared as a messenger, everyone knew that it was an existence that stood at the top of the pyramid of messengers. There was no one else like it! Those who could control elemental spirits were either great figures in the Land or the prodigies of high-leveled civilizations. To the people in the Heavenly Treasures Street, such existences would only exist in books or legends.
"Hmph hmph hmph, who dares to fight in my master's territory?! You even dare to set a fire? Are you courting death?! "
At that moment, there was no gentleness in Nini's large and watery eyes. Instead, there was a sense of ruthlessness as she angrily looked at the Flamerock leader. This fellow was rather capable. The flames on his body had not been extinguished even after being washed by her Heavenly Rain Dew. It seemed that she had to give him something even more ruthless!
Master? Who was the master of this elemental spirit? Wait, this was her master's territory …
The other people on the street had not recovered from their shock. Even Old Cow and Mugthol were still in a daze. However, the Flamerock leader immediately put on an extremely respectful smile.
He had taken someone's money to eliminate disasters. He had come to the Heavenly Treasures Street because someone had paid him. Did he really think that he was interested in a protection fee of 1,000 Silver Star Stones per month? Furthermore, before he had come, the information he had received was very detailed. One was a Foundational Stage from a low-leveled civilization with the combat power of a Void Core, while the other was a goblin who had been born with a Void Core but had never properly cultivated.
The other party's status was not low, and the Flamerock leader obviously trusted the information that the other party had provided. In his eyes, these two people were obviously pushovers.
But now, what kind of international joke was this?! This was a terrifying existence that the elemental spirit had worshipped as its master. Yet, you want me to snatch its territory? Putting aside its master, this water elemental spirit was a natural counter to him. Even the Flamerock leader could only be beaten when he saw it.
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! " The Flamerock leader smiled like a flower, even though it was very difficult to put together the shape of a flower on his rock face. "Just now, I had a small exchange with Brother Mugthol and did not hold back. I was definitely not causing trouble or arson. Who would dare to act recklessly in that lord's territory? The Flamerock race will be the first to not agree! "
He did not dare to confirm who the master of this elemental spirit was. Was it Mugthol? Definitely not? Was it Wang Zhong from the Heavenly Gates? Stop talking nonsense. He was just a Foundational Stage from a low-leveled civilization. There might be other experts on this street … Thus, he could only say that he was' that lord 'and vaguely brush it off. He wanted to pull one of his subordinates to take the blame, but everyone on the street had seen what he had done. He would definitely not be able to fool them.
However, his words were filled with righteousness, and Nini's anger finally calmed down slightly. However, who was this girl? If he really thought that she was easy to fool, then he was very wrong.
"Then?" She fiercely glared at the Flamerock leader.
"Of course I have to compensate you!" The Flamerock leader said righteously. "Although it was just a friendly exchange, I accidentally injured Brother Mugthol. This makes me feel very uncomfortable. I will pay for Brother Mugthol's medical expenses. If you need any elixirs, just tell me! I will also give Brother Mugthol 10,000 Silver Star Stones. After suffering such heavy injuries, if I don't eat something good to nourish my body, how can I feel at ease?! "
Everyone on the street was dumbfounded as they watched the Flamerock leader change from arrogance to humility. His change in attitude was so quick and natural that no one else could do it. Nini did not even bother to look at him. She simply pointed at the houses that had been burnt down by the street.
"Compensate! You have to compensate for all of them! Not only do you have to compensate for the buildings, but you also have to compensate for the loss of working time, mental damage, and so on. " The Flamerock leader generously said, "You have to be careful. For us cultivators, this is a small matter, but to ordinary people, it is a matter of life and death. You definitely cannot be careless!"
Nini coldly snorted and continued to shift her gaze. She looked at the Flamerock people who were still screaming miserably after being drenched by her Heavenly Rain Dew.
The Flamerock leader instantly felt his head swell. He fiercely turned to stare at his subordinates and shouted in a stern voice, "It is your great fortune to have a fairy help you take a shower. Why are all of you wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves? Do you have any sense of civility? Why are you still blocking the road? Don't your neighbors need to do business?! Scram, scram. All of you, scram immediately! "
The Heavenly Treasures Street was silent. From the moment the elemental spirit had appeared to the stunning change in the Flamerock leader, everyone's brain circuits had not been able to keep up with the rhythm. This was simply a divine reversal. A massive disaster had instantly disappeared … Wait, this was Master's territory? The Heavenly Treasures Street was very large, and there were only a few people who came and went. Everyone was very familiar with each other, but they had never heard of anyone having a super messenger like the elemental spirit.
Could this little cutie and angel have turned around and found the wrong place or gotten the wrong way?
They could not expose her. They could not expose her! At the very least, they had subdued the Flamerock leader. They would let this beautiful misunderstanding continue until the end. Everyone had a tacit understanding and did not say anything.
However, when the Flamerock leader left behind a ground full of compensation and ran away dejectedly, Old Cow and the others surrounded her. Just as they were about to kindly remind Little Muddle that she had made a mistake, Nini's words caused everyone to be petrified.
"My Master, Wang Zhong, asked me to deliver a letter. Who is Old Cow?! " Nini waved the letter in her hand and did not have any intention of keeping a low profile. She swaggered into the crowd and shouted.
Wang, Wang Zhong? Master? Elemental spirit?
The petrified people on the street instantly understood. This was not a beautiful misunderstanding. Instead, it was a huge display of awesomeness!
Old Cow's face was red and he was holding back his energy. His body was trembling as he was pushed by others to Nini's side. Meanwhile, Mugthol was slightly emotional.
He had been saved by Wang Zhong again … However, they all remembered that Wang Zhong had brought a thousand Silver Star Stones to the Heavenly Gates, right? With that bit of money, he could buy an elemental spirit as a messenger? No matter how ignorant Old Cow and Mugthol were, they knew that this was definitely impossible. As expected, a person like Wang Zhong was an anomaly that they could not estimate when he was in the Heavenly Treasures Street. As a result, they started to feel that his future was limitless. However, they never expected that in just a short month, they would feel that the distance between them was getting further and further apart.
When she handed the letter to Old Cow, Nini's task was considered complete. She was not a porter who had to send the medicinal ingredients back. She was only responsible for delivering the letter.
Even though Lao Wang had said that Old Cow and the people in the Heavenly Treasures Street were his good friends and told Nini not to be rude, at most, she would not be 'rude' to them. If she were to open her mouth and talk to this group of people to get close to them, she would be making things difficult for them.
When she handed the letter over, Nini nodded slightly at Old Cow and simply turned around. She flapped her thin wings slightly and disappeared from the Heavenly Treasures Street without a trace in the blink of an eye.
When this existence that had shocked everyone left, the dead silence that filled the street slowly returned to normal.
"An — an elemental spirit. My god, I actually saw one with my own eyes …"
"Wow, could it be that one can subdue an elemental spirit after entering the Heavenly Gates?"
"What do you know?! That's because Grandpa Zhong is impressive enough! If it was someone else, why don't you try? They would definitely beat the sh * t out of you! "
"That's right! Just now, look at the dumbfounded expression on that Flamerock leader's face when he saw the elemental spirit. He was so scared that he almost peed his pants! "
"Grandpa Zhong is simply invincible!"
The surroundings quickly descended into heated discussions and madness. The more impressive Wang Zhong was, the more stable they felt. Usually, they could not even find a place or something to brag about. Furthermore, they had seen an elemental spirit and had even recognized Wang Zhong as its owner. How could they not be excited and crazy?
"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet! " Old Cow was slightly excited as well. Just now, he simply opened the letter in the crowd and read it. When he came back to his senses and wanted to hide it, it was already too late. Luckily, there were no hidden topics in the letter. Instead, there were a few greetings from Wang Zhong to his neighbors in the Heavenly Treasures Street. "Grandpa Zhong asked me to send his regards to the neighbors in the letter!"
The crowd that had just quietened down instantly peed their pants.
Look, this was Grandpa Zhong. This was friendship! When had you ever seen those lofty protectors greet those they were protecting?
"Grandpa Zhong is a genuine person. He still remembers us despite being so busy!" Someone was so excited that they cried bitterly.
"Previously, which idiot said on the street that after Grandpa Zhong left, the tea would turn cold? Come out now! I'll slap you to death! "
The crowd instantly became excited. Various songs of praise and flattery could be heard. Just because of a casual greeting in Lao Wang's letter, the entire street had completely boiled over.
