Outsiders did not know the result of this battle. They only knew that after the battle, Ji Changkong immediately left the Imperial Capital. From then on, he kept a low profile. Half a year later, his cultivation increased once again, reaching the peak of Martial Grand Master.
He was only a step away from entering the Martial Saint realm, becoming the youngest Martial Saint in the Great Qin Nation in a thousand years. Ji Changkong walked in front of Jiang Mingxun and bowed. He said respectfully, "Uncle, your nephew is late, sorry for startling you."
When everyone heard Ji Changkong's words, they were astonished. They did not expect Jiang Mingxun to be Ji Changkong's uncle. According to rumors, Ji Changkong's mother was a concubine from a local clan.
Because Ji Changkong's mother was often neglected, he cultivated with all his might. He was fighting for his pride. They did not expect his mother to be Jiang Mingxun's younger sister.
Jiang Mingxun smiled faintly, "Changkong, there is no need to be so polite. It's good that you are here. Your uncle no longer needs to be pointed at and lectured by others."
The people of Dongming Province's three powers finally understood why Jiang Mingxun dared to be so fearless, delaying them. It turned out that he had such a deep relationship with the Ji Clan.
Hua Yunfei's expression changed, but he did not show it. The moment he made his move, he had suffered a small loss at Ji Changkong's hands. It was clear that he was afraid of Ji Changkong.
He glanced at Duanmuqing and Chu Chaoyun before saying, "Ji Changkong, I don't think there is anything wrong with what I said. The matters of our Dongming Province are not for you Nanling Province's people to interfere. Don't you think you are stretching your hands too far?"
Ji Changkong smiled faintly, "Since when did the vast Dongming Province become something that you, Hua Yunfei, can represent? Have you asked Brother Chu and Miss Duanmu? Furthermore, I, Ji Changkong, cannot represent Nanling Province. Don't accuse me of anything, I am only here to pay a visit to my relatives. "
The two of them confronted each other, neither willing to back down. The people that both sides brought all released their auras. The atmosphere was extremely tense, as though a huge battle was about to break out in the next moment.
"Si … si …"
At this moment, the sound of string music could be heard in the distant sky. It was light and moving, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. It was like celestial music. Everyone hurriedly looked up.
A huge golden warship slowly flew over from the horizon. There was a flag flying at the bow of the ship with a large 'Return' character written on it. A man wearing a purple robe stood proudly under the flag.
"The Guiyi Marquis's King Grade Secret Treasure, the Golden Warship. The people from the Guiyi Marquis's Residence are here as well," someone below said in astonishment when he saw the words on the banner.
Jiang Mingxun looked at the golden warship above his head and felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't expect that someone from the King's Mansion would come. For the first time, he felt that things were out of his control.
The waning moon hung high in the sky. There were no stars twinkling in the night sky. The night was darker than usual. However, the streets of White Water City were packed with people.
In the sky, the huge body of the Golden Warship moved slowly in the air, emitting a dazzling radiance. Even though it hung high in the sky, the people on the ground could still feel its boundless imperial might.
"The Guiyi Marquis, Ying Xiao, actually came as well. This remnant of the ancient human race is too attractive. Unfortunately, low-ranked cultivators like us cannot go and take a look even if we wanted to. "
"Why not? Aren't there people selling the Jiang Clan's leaked map of the remnant? I bought one, but I have not researched it yet. When I research it, I will definitely go and take a look. "
"Idiot, that map is fake. You will know when you go back. If I find out who did it, I will hammer him to death."
Someone at the side sneered and said, "Save it. The Jiang Family's Clan Head bought ten of those blueprints and even spent ten thousand gold taels. He's the real idiot. We were only cheated of a thousand silver taels. It's really nothing."
"Is that true? This person actually dared to cheat the Jiang Clan. Why didn't I think of that? Ten thousand gold taels is equivalent to ten years of my income."
"Even if you had the guts, would you dare to go? Hence, if that person did not have a huge backer, he would not even dare to fool the Jiang Clan. We were fooled. All we have to do is endure it. If he really wanted to settle the score, who knows who would be the one hammering to death. "
After everyone chatted for a while, the topic shifted to the Guiyi Marquis's Golden Warship in the sky. Everyone was shocked when they saw the majestic warship.
Among the crowd, Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at the Golden Warship in the sky. He was deep in thought. This Golden Warship was a very high ranked Secret Treasure. It came from the Ancient Era.
Most of the Secret Treasures in the world were passed down from the Ancient Era. After the Ancient Era ended, the blacksmiths who created Secret Treasures fell into decline. After the Tianwu Dynasty was destroyed, the inheritance of the blacksmiths in the continent completely disappeared.
To this day, no one in the continent could refine Secret Treasures. If one wanted to obtain Secret Treasures, they could only obtain them from the Ancient Remnant or the remnant of the Tianwu Dynasty. From this, it could be seen how precious Secret Treasures were.
However, Xiao Chen felt that this legendary Secret Treasure was very similar to the Magic Treasures recorded in the Compendium of Cultivation. There were once people who mistook his Life Bestowal Spell for a Secret Treasure.
Unfortunately, he had yet to obtain a true Secret Treasure, so he could not confirm his conjecture. Recollecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen headed for Liushang Pavilion. Along the way, he had already heard that Liushang Pavilion had not moved.
Xiao Chen went straight to the second floor and discovered that Liushang Pavilion's business was still very good. Even though it was already night time, there were still no empty tables. Furthermore, there were many people waiting.
All the cultivators on the second floor were discussing the Ancient Remnant, the Golden Warship in the sky, and the recent Idiot Incident.
"The Guiyi Marquis's Golden Warship is here. I wonder if the Ji Clan's Black Monarch Warship or the Duanmu Clan's Profound Ice Palace will come."
"If they are all here, it will be very lively. They are all King Grade Secret Treasures. If they were to fight, even Martial Saints would not be able to withstand the shockwaves of the battle."
Xiao Chen leaped over the second floor and headed for the third floor. One needed a Liushang Pavilion VIP card to enter the third floor. There were still many empty tables on the third floor.
The last time he made a transaction with Fatso, Kim Tae-ho had given him a VIP card. After flashing the VIP card, he was able to enter without any obstructions.
Of the people seated on the third floor, the weakest was a Superior Grade Martial Master. Most of them were Martial Grand Masters. It was obvious that their statuses were higher than the cultivators on the second floor. They were the leaders of some cultivator groups.
The topics of discussion were completely different from the second floor. They were all trading Spirit Beast Inner Cores, furs, and medicinal herbs. Occasionally, there would be people going to the counter to get someone to appraise the goods.
Xiao Chen seemed to understand why Liushang Pavilion's business was so good. Aside from eating and gossiping, this place was also a perfect place to do business.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
Not long after Xiao Chen sat down, Jin Fatso's unique footsteps could be heard rumbling over. His smile was like a flower as he sat opposite Xiao Chen.
"After not seeing you for half a month, Brother Xiao, you have become famous! Now, there is almost no one in White Water City who does not know your name. I really did not expect this! "Fatso immediately sighed after he sat down.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not say anything. He took out the herbs and Spirit Cores of the Spirit Beasts that he had obtained from the people chasing him from the Universe Ring and took them out in stacks.
At first, Fatso did not pay much attention to it. However, when the medicinal herbs and Spirit Cores filled the entire table, an astonished expression appeared on his face. He said, "Damn it, did you dig up all the land in Savage Forest? There are so many Spirit Cores and medicinal herbs. "
"I only killed a few hundred people," Xiao Chen said indifferently. A horrifying killing intent spread out in all directions.
Xiao Chen's words were directed at the surrounding people. When the pile of Spirit Cores and medicinal herbs was placed on the table, Xiao Chen immediately felt countless gazes directed at him. Aside from greed, there was no hidden killing intent in their gazes.
Xiao Chen's killing intent instantly spread out. Everyone in the entire floor felt a faint pressure. That was a pure killing intent. Only after killing countless people could one condense such a killing intent.
"Exactly how many people did this brat kill to be able to condense such a horrifying killing intent?" The crowd of cultivators quickly withdrew their gazes and clicked their tongues in their hearts.
Jin Fatso laughed loudly and said, "You want to sell these to this Fat Lord, right? No problem, this Fat Lord will take them all. You, you, you, you, you, you, you, come and inspect the goods."
Fatso called out and two people immediately came to the counter. They bowed to Fatso and checked the goods on the table. After that, they wrote out a receipt and handed it to Xiao Chen. Then, they took the goods and left.
Jin Fatso smiled and said, "I will be able to clear it in half an hour. There is no need to worry about being cheated. When this Fat Lord does business, it is a win-win situation. I will not cheat anyone or anyone."
Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you have a secluded place here? Let's talk business. "
Jin Fatso looked around and guessed what Xiao Chen wanted to talk about. He said, "Follow me."
The two of them entered a secluded room. After Jin Fatso sat down, he said, "There will be no third person who knows what we are talking about here."
Xiao Chen checked with his Spiritual Sense. Indeed, it was as he expected; there was no one else around. He took out the map of the Ancient Remnant from the Universe Ring and said, "I want you to help me find the location of the Ancient Remnant on this map within three days."
Fatso looked at the map and laughed loudly, "Brother Xiao, to be honest, I have a map in my hands as well. I am not sure if it is real or not. Take a look."
Xiao Chen only took a glance and he could tell what was going on. He could not help but smile, "I guessed that you were the one who made this. I really don't understand. Why would people buy something with the word 'Stupid Cunt' written on it?"
Jin Fatso chuckled and said proudly, "Who knows? Let's not talk about this. I want to buy your map as well. Name a price. "
Xiao Chen was somewhat astonished as he said, "Why do you want to buy this? You want to go to the Ancient Remnant as well?"
"Since I want to buy it, I will definitely be able to sell it. Are you selling it or not?" Fatso said confidently.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and roughly guessed what Fatso wanted to do. He said, "Sure, but you have to help me find the location of the Ancient Remnant first."
Fatso patted his chest and said, "That's a small matter. Leave it to me."
"Knock! Knock! "
There was a series of knocks on the door. After that, an old man walked in. He took out a stack of banknotes and said, "Young Master Xiao, your goods have been appraised. They are worth a total of five thousand gold taels."
Fatso received the banknotes and handed them to Xiao Chen. Then he handed the map to the old man and said, "Find the place on the map tomorrow morning."
The old man received the map and left without saying anything. When Fatso saw that Xiao Chen was a little worried, he explained, "There is no need to worry. You have to believe in my ability. There will be results tomorrow morning."
"Come, I will bring you to meet someone. That person is very interested in you."
