Finding Astral Coins on Situ Lei and Liu Chen was easy to explain. The two Clan Heads definitely had dealings with Fiend Race cultivators.
Xiao Chen wondered how much one hundred thousand Astral Coins were worth.
Xiao Chen thought for a while before asking, "How many Spirit Stones can one Astral Coin be exchanged for?"
Ao Jiao thought for a while before replying, "Two thousand years ago, during the Thunder King's time, one Astral Coin was worth one thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones. However, it was not fixed. For example, if you used Astral Coins to exchange for Spirit Stones in the Human Race, it would definitely not be as much as in the Fiend Domain.
"There should not be too many changes now. It should be around one thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones to two thousand."
When Xiao Chen heard this, his heart could not help thumping heavily. Based on this exchange rate, one hundred thousand Astral Coins could be exchanged for at least one hundred million Superior Grade Spirit Stones.
How could the two clans accumulate only ten million Superior Grade Spirit Stones after hundreds of years? This was impossible.
Now that the two clans were fully stocked up, Xiao Chen was in a good mood. He revealed a smile and tossed an Astral Coin on the table. Then, he said loudly, "Waiter, the bill."
However, Ao Jiao laughed to herself. While one hundred thousand Astral Coins might seem like a lot, it would be nearly used up to purchase one or two high-ranked Superior Grade Secret Treasures.
The consumption of resources between high-ranked cultivators was far beyond what Xiao Chen could imagine.
When the waiter heard that the bill was being paid, he rushed over quickly. However, when he looked around, he discovered that the people on the table were long gone.
Just as the waiter was about to curse out loud, he suddenly noticed the purple Astral Coin on the table. His eyes immediately lit up.
He held it in his hand and examined it carefully before laughing joyfully. "Astral Coin! It really is an Astral Coin! I have not seen such a forthright cultivator in a long time."
Hunluo Province bordered the Fiend Domain. Astral Coins were not rare in Hunluo Province. Hence, the waiter recognized this Astral Coin with one glance.
Knowing the value of Astral Coins, the waiter nearly jumped up in joy.
Outside the city gates, Xiao Chen removed his black cloak and took one last look at Azure Peak City before continuing on his way.
After spending more than a month in the Savage Beast Forest, he had completely recovered in the past three days. Xiao Chen's destination did not change. It was still the Devil Region, the forbidden land where the Thunder King had comprehended his will.
At this moment, everyone in the Liu Residence in Green Summit City was listless. Liu Chen was dead, and the clan had lost a half-Sage.
Everyone could predict what would happen to the Liu Clan in Green Peak City in the future. It would be difficult for them to continue their glory.
If it weren't for his prestige, his enemies would have come to kill him long ago, but his peaceful days wouldn't last long. Unless Liu Enze, the successor to the family head, was willing to cut off more than half of the family business.
"Young Master Liu, what do you think? As long as you say that you will leave the Eternal Heavenly Sword School, our Magnificent Fiend Hall will immediately help you deal with that brat."
In the brightly lit main hall of the Liu family, a burly man in a yellow robe with a rough appearance and an ominous glint in his eyes said to the indecisive Liu Enze.
Although Green Peak City was a small city, its proximity to the Savage Beast Forest was excellent. It had always been one of the strongholds that the major factions of Hunluo Province fought over.
On the surface, it was in the hands of the Situ Clan and the Liu Clan. However, everyone in the know knew that the two clans were backed by the Eternal Heavenly Sword School.
The Eternal Heavenly Sword School was the reason for the conflict between the two clans. They did not want one of the clans to grow too strong.
In reality, if one thought about it carefully, one could understand. Given Situ Lei and Liu Chen's half-Sage cultivation, without a strong backer, any Martial Sage would be able to subdue this place.
However, such a situation did not happen. Clearly, everyone knew that touching these two clans was equivalent to offending the Eternal Heavenly Sword School. Things would not end well for them.
The yellow-robed man appeared very confident. He smiled and said, "I believe you have already reported the situation here to the Eternal Heavenly Sword School. However, they will not offend the Haotian Sect for the sake of two small clans. They are even more afraid of the human race's Bushin Palace taking revenge on them if they kill this genius.
"However, we Fiend Race cultivators do not have so many scruples. If we kill him, so be it. As long as we do not break the tacit understanding between us, it will be fine."
Liu Enze's expression slowly relaxed. He had indeed reported the situation to the Eternal Heavenly Sword School.
The other party's reaction was exactly as the yellow-robed man said. They only placated Liu Enze and said that they would send experts to take over the Liu Clan temporarily.
Then, they would take Liu Enze in as a true inheritor. After Liu Enze finished his studies, he would take revenge for his father's death. They had not mentioned taking the initiative to attack that brat.
However, Liu Enze still hesitated. After all, as a human, he could not accept the fact that he was a Fiend Race faction.
However, when Liu Enze recalled the scene of his father, Liu Chen, being smashed into a meat patty by Xiao Chen, boundless hatred surged in his heart. He clenched his teeth and made a decision.
"Very well, I promise you. As long as your Magnificent Fiend Hall can kill that brat, I will help you gain complete control of Green Peak City."
The yellow-robed man stood up and laughed loudly. He said, "How delightful! In less than a month, that brat's head will appear before you!"
Hunluo Province was located at the border of the Fiend Domain and the Tianwu Domain. The humans and the Fiend Races had already infiltrated each other, forming a special, chaotic land.
Be it the Tianwu Domain's Bushin Palace or the Fiend Domain's Heavenly Fiend Palace, they could not manage this place well. As time passed, they abandoned this place.
This made it a completely lawless zone, and the chaos intensified even more.
There were six major factions in Hunluo Province: the human race's Eternal Heavenly Sword School, Bone Tomb Sect, and Blood Shadow Sect, and the Fiend race's Magnificent Fiend Hall, Heavenly Tiger Sect, and Soaring Serpent Mansion.
These six major factions were all Rank 8 sects with strong peak Martial Sages holding down the fort. In terms of accumulations, they were much weaker than the Nine Ranks of the Great Families.
However, among the Rank 8 sects, any one of these six major factions would rank at the peak in any domain of the Kunlun Realm.
This was just one province, and there were six peak Rank 8 sects. The chaos and conflict there was easy to imagine.
Furthermore, the Bushin Palace and the Heavenly Fiend Palace made this place seem weak. Several loose cultivators who committed great crimes in the Tianwu Domain and the Fiend Domain did not want to flee to the distant Primal Chaos Domain. If they didn't want to run to the remote Primal Chaos Domain, they would hide here to avoid being hunted down.
Here, be it the famous bandits of the Tianwu Domain's Evil Cultivator Ranking or the great evil Fiends of the Fiend Domain, they could be found everywhere.
On a mountain peak outside Azure Peak City, strong winds blew away white clouds, causing them to drift about. That yellow-robed man from the Magnificent Fiend Hall stood at the summit, looking calmly into the distance. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
A nimble figure leaped up from the foot of the mountain like a monkey, continuously climbing up. With a single kick, he would leap five hundred meters.
This person's kick was clearly very strong. However, when he landed, he was as light as a feather. None of the rocks on the mountain peak tumbled down.
This person climbed the five-thousand-meter-tall slope in a few breaths of time before landing on a huge rock at the summit.
This person also wore yellow robes. However, his clothes were messy, and he did not care about his appearance. His long hair was a mess, as if he had not combed it for a long time.
With one glance, the word "sloppy" would immediately appear in one's mind. Only his eyes were spirited, bright, and clear.
These eyes were like luminous pearls that had suddenly popped out of a pile of trash. They were very dazzling, making everyone forget about the pile of trash and only remember this pair of luminous pearl-like eyes.
The sloppy youth half-squatted on the huge rock, not bothering with his image at all. He stuck his finger into his ear and said breathlessly, "First Uncle, why are you looking for me so urgently? I did not come to Hunluo Province to sightsee."
The yellow-robed man turned around and said with a smile, "Feng, I called you over this time to help our Magnificent Fiend Hall with something. As you know, Azure Peak City is the city closest to the Tianwu Domain in Hunluo Province. The Magnificent Fiend Hall has long been interested in this city."
The sloppy youth with the single word "Feng" removed his finger from his ear and casually flicked it a few times. He said lazily, "What does it have to do with me? You joined the Magnificent Fiend Hall and no longer have anything to do with our Giant Ape Race."
The yellow-robed man felt somewhat frustrated in his heart. He said, "Little brat, you have already grown up, and your wings have hardened. Now that you have the title of Little Heavenly Monkey, have you forgotten how I raised you?"
Feng's lips twitched as he stood up from the huge rock. He said helplessly, "Very well, tell me what you have to say. If it does not interfere with my matters, I can do it in passing."
The yellow-robed man smiled and said, "Help me kill someone. Of course, if everything goes smoothly, you might not need to do anything."
Feng's bright eyes stared at the yellow-robed man and said, "Kill someone? Given your cultivation as an Inferior Grade Martial Sage, you still need me to help you kill someone? "
The yellow-robed man said softly, "Sometimes, there are some tacit understandings that cannot be broken. With my status, if I were to kill a junior genius, Bushin Palace will definitely find trouble with me. The Fiend Domain's Skyfiend Palace will also find trouble with me."
The situation was easy to understand. The major races were hostile to each other due to the competition for resources and other issues, but they also had their own tacit understanding.
If your family sends out their older generation experts to kill the younger generation geniuses on my side, and my side does the same, then the two families can forget about developing.
Sooner or later, there would be a shortage of successors, and their legacies would be severed. They would all perish.
The matters of the younger generation should be left to the younger generation. If there were no great benefits, no one would break this unspoken tacit understanding.
"I have already contacted Wu Yuankai, one of the Ten Great Evildoers of the Hunluo Province. This kind of loose cultivator does not fear anything. If he fails, you will have to take action."
The yellow-robed man said indifferently.
Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Up to you. However, I am curious, who exactly are you going to kill? Even after inviting the Ten Evils, you are still worried. Could it be the seven giants of the Tianwu Domain?"
"Don't worry. They are not at that level yet. Just wait for my news. If I do not come looking for you in ten days, the mission will end."
The yellow-robed man leaped off the peak and vanished from Feng's sight.
Feng, the genius cultivator of the Giant Ape Race, who was known as the Little Heavenly Monkey in the Fiend Domain, had messy hair and loose robes. He smiled and said, "How disappointing. If it were not the seven giants, this mission would be very boring."
At this moment, Xiao Chen did not know that someone had killed Situ Lei and Liu Chen for him, creating a huge disaster for himself. He was currently rushing to his next destination, the Hunluo Province's provincial capital.
After that, he would make a trip to the Eternal Heavenly Sword School's headquarters to see if the Eternal Heavenly Sword School had any connection to the Thunder King.
Along the way, Xiao Chen gained a better understanding of the Hunluo Province. This Hunluo Province actually had six Rank 8 sects. This surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations.
