"I've run out of Black Coins. I don't have 10,000 Black Coins right now. Can you make an exception and let us stay in the Rootless Black City for a while? After we earn some Black Coins, can we pay you back? " A male cultivator with an awkward expression stood at the city gate and pleaded with the two cultivators handling the Identity Jade Cards.
Behind this male cultivator, there was a female cultivator. The female cultivator pursed her lips and did not speak.
"Don't you see the people standing on the side? Is your ass whiter than the others? " The male cultivator handling the Identity Jade Cards at the city gate spoke up in a cold voice, "If you don't have any Black Coins, then just stand to the side and let others go in first. After everyone on this side goes in, you can go to the Void to dig for Black Essence Stones. After you earn a certain amount of Black Coins, you can come back and talk. "
The male cultivator's expression changed slightly, "This friend, we just arrived at the Rootless Black City and have no experience at all. If we go to the Void to dig for ores at this time, wouldn't we just be courting death?"
"What does it have to do with me if you want to die or not?" The cultivator guarding the city gate spoke in an even more disdainful tone.
The male cultivator was just about to continue speaking when he suddenly called out in surprise, "Sect Master Ning ….."
Ning Cheng saw the long queue of cultivators entering the Rootless Black City and realised that these people should be the same as him, who had just arrived from Heaven's Way.
Immediately, he heard someone calling out to him. It was a cultivator he did not know, Crucible Transformation 2nd Level. Behind this Crucible Transformation 2nd Level Cultivator stood a female cultivator, whom he knew. This female cultivator was called Bu Mei. When he went to the Great Liang True Country and the Northern Shang True Country to carry out the sect's mission, it was this female cultivator, along with Star Gathering Mansion's Xin Hai.
"Sect Master Ning." Bu Mei on seeing Ning Cheng quickly came forward and greeted him with a bow. It was completely different from the first time the two met. When Ning Cheng and Bu Mei met for the first time, this woman did not even glance at him.
Ning Cheng and the Severing Emotions Dao Sect had some enmity; however, the main target of this enmity was Xu Anzhen. As for this Bu Mei from the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, he truly did not care about it.
"Lord Ning ….." The two Crucible Transformation Cultivators guarding the entrance of the Rootless Black City quickly came forward to greet Ning Cheng.
As for who Ning Cheng was, they knew it better than anyone else. This person destroyed the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce and killed Junior City Master Xu Liangzhi. The Rootless Black City's City Master, Xu Kai, had chased after him to kill him. However, Ning Cheng did not expect that Xu Kai would not return, while he took the initiative to come back. Although they did not dare to imagine such a result, but with the facts in front of them, they did not dare to offend this Ning Cheng.
"You are?" Ning Cheng looked at the Crucible Transformation 2nd Level male cultivator who addressed him as' Sect Master Ning 'in a puzzled manner. As for the two Crucible Transformation Guards at the entrance to the city, he simply ignored them.
"Sect Master Ning, I am Shu Xing from the Star Gathering Mansion. Because of Sect Master Ning's Heaven's Way's Array Formation, my Dao Companion Bu Mei and I also came to Heaven's Way together. "The male cultivator quickly spoke up with a respectful tone.
Ning Cheng's reputation spread far and wide in the Tian Continent. Not a single academy dared to show even half a shred of neglect towards him. He even destroyed the Red Star Sword Faction. Because of his return, the Yin Yang Dao Sect, which had enmity with the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, had to take the initiative to apologise to them. Moreover, Ning Cheng never expected that Sect Master Ning would turn out to be this powerful after arriving at the Rootless Black City. Didn't you see the two Crucible Transformation Guards at the entrance of the City Gate? Moreover, they were acting very respectful towards Sect Master Ning?
The more Shu Xing thought about it, the more respectful he became. He even felt a little worried that Ning Cheng would hold Bu Mei accountable. After all, Bu Mei came from the Severing Emotions Dao Sect. Ning Cheng and the Severing Emotions Dao Sect's grievances, who in the Tian Continent did not know about it?
Ning Cheng glanced at Bu Mei, feeling even more puzzled in his heart. A person from the Severing Emotions Dao Sect as a Dao Companion, were these two people the same as Chao He and Ban Miaolei? Or did this Bu Mei want to use Shu Xing to sever her emotions?
However, Ning Cheng did not ask about this matter. Instead, he spoke up, "I know Xin Hai from the Star Gathering Mansion, is he alright?"
"Junior Apprentice Brother Xin is currently in seclusion. When I came to Heaven's Way, he had not yet come out." Shu Xing quickly replied.
"En, why don't you go in?" Ning Cheng asked despite knowing the answer.
Shu Xing quickly replied, "Because the cost of using the Receiving Heaven's Stone is too high, and I do not have enough Spirit Stones on me. As such, there is no way to enter the Rootless Black City."
"In that case, you can come in with me."
Ning Cheng casually spoke, before looking at the two guards at the city gate, "These two will come in with me. You can help them apply for an Identity Jade Card."
"But …." The two Crucible Transformation Guards hesitated.
Applying for an Identity Jade Card required 10,000 Black Coins. Ning Cheng did not say anything about the Black Coins, so what could they do? This was the source of Black Coins for the 12 forces. Although Ning Cheng destroyed one of them, there were still 11 of them here.
Ning Cheng gave a sneer and spoke, "If anyone has any questions, then let them come to the City Master's Mansion to find me. I will be living in the City Master's Mansion from now on. "
Saying that, Ning Cheng was simply disinclined to pay any attention to the two guards, and spoke to Shu Xing, "Come in with me."
"Yes, yes …." It was not Shu Xing who answered, but the two Crucible Transformation Guards who stopped Shu Xing.
The meaning behind Ning Cheng's words was very obvious. That is, he had already killed the original City Master of the Rootless Black City, Xu Kai. With this kind of strength, if he dared to speak any nonsense, the opposite party would immediately kill him. For him, the most important thing right now was to quickly report back about this matter.
Ning Cheng speaking such arrogant words in public was obviously premeditated. The purpose of his return was to kill off the forces of the Rootless Black City.
Of course, he did not mean to kill off all these forces, it would simply be meaningless. What he wanted to eliminate was the Receiving Heaven's Stone's shameless and disgusting rules of Black Coins, as well as the one million Spirit Stones required to obtain an Identity Jade Card to enter the city gate.
As for those cultivators who relied on their identity and strength to do whatever they wanted in the Receiving Heaven's Stone and the Rootless Black City, he decided to eliminate them all.
He had already arranged an Array Formation around the Heaven's Way leading to the Receiving Heaven's Stone. In the future, as long as one's cultivation reached a certain level in the Tian Continent, one would be able to enter the Receiving Heaven's Stone through the Heaven's Way and arrive at the Rootless Black City.
He had too many acquaintances and friends in the Tian Continent. Once he left the Rootless Black City in the future, wouldn't the people around him end up dead? Because of this, Ning Cheng made up his mind to thoroughly rectify the Rootless Black City and the Receiving Heaven's Stone.
… …
"Sect Master Ning, do you live in the City Master's Mansion?" Shu Xing carefully asked. He had not heard anything about Ning Cheng since he came here. However, he knew that the City Master's Mansion was the most powerful force in the Rootless Black City. Did Sect Master Ning work in the City Master's Mansion?
"That's right, but it's not what you think. It's because I killed the original City Master, which is why I'm living in the City Master's Mansion." Ning Cheng knew what Shu Xing was thinking and spoke out directly.
Shu Xing's mouth opened wide; he could not even utter a single 'ah'. He was just too shocked. How long had it been since Ning Cheng arrived, yet he managed to kill the City Master of the Rootless Black City? Just how much strength did he have? No wonder the Crucible Transformation Cultivators guarding the city gate did not dare to utter even half a word of nonsense.
"Shu Xing, I want to control the Rootless Black City in the future. Are you willing to help me?" Ning Cheng knew that to control the entire Rootless Black City, he had to pull out his own strength.
"Sect Master Ning, I'm willing. I'll follow Sect Master Ning from now on … No, I'll follow City Master Ning from now on ….." Since Shu Xing could cultivate to the Crucible Transformation 2nd Level, he obviously was not an idiot. As soon as Ning Cheng spoke those words, he immediately understood what it meant.
… …
Ning Cheng had not yet arrived at the entrance of the Rootless Black City's City Master's Mansion. However, the news of his return, as well as the news that he would soon move into the City Master's Mansion, had already spread throughout the entire Rootless Black City.
The Rootless Black City's entrance leading to the City Master's Mansion in the Central City District had already become packed with people. Many of the cultivators in the Rootless Black City had already squeezed into this street. The Rootless Black City might have to change its City Master; there was not a single person who did not care about this matter.
"Boom ….." An explosive sound erupted. Ning Cheng arrived above the Rootless Black City's City Master's Mansion. With just a single spear strike, he managed to break through the Defensive Array of the Rootless Black City's City Master's Mansion.
The cultivators from the City Master's Mansion had long since learned of the news and immediately fled. None of the cultivators were willing to stay behind and fight against Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng also did not kill all the cultivators who managed to escape from the City Master's Mansion. These cultivators were the same as him, people who came from various planar interfaces. Since he killed the City Master of the City Master's Mansion, who would dare to come out and resist?
In fact, there were very few cultivators remaining in the City Master's Mansion. Since the Junior City Master was killed, and City Master Xu Kai had not returned for several months, any cultivator with a little bit of intelligence would have already guessed that something must have happened to the City Master.
These cultivators had either left the City Master's Mansion or deliberately went out to look for tasks. Now that Ning Cheng had returned, the few remaining cultivators in the City Master's Mansion immediately fled.
… …
At the same time, in another luxurious building within the Rootless Black City, dozens of powerful cultivators were holding an emergency meeting.
This building was the base of the Rootless Black City's Extinguishing Karma Starry Sky Fleet. The Extinguishing Karma Starry Sky Fleet was ranked second among the 12 major forces of the Rootless Black City, second only to the City Master's Mansion.
Now that Ning Cheng had killed the Rootless Black City's City Master Xu Kai, Ning Cheng had forcibly occupied the City Master's Mansion. Moreover, he had also broken the rules of entering the Rootless Black City for the first time, requiring one to purchase an Identity Jade Card. These actions had touched on everyone's interests and aroused public anger.
Even if the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce was destroyed, even if the City Master of the City Master's Mansion was killed, none of them would care about it. Now that Ning Cheng had obtained the Black Coins in their pockets, no one was willing to compromise over such a matter.
"I had already said that we should join forces to kill this person. Since this person could advance to the Crucible Transformation Realm so quickly, it definitely means that he obtained some good things from that old ghost Xu Kai. " The one who spoke was a white-haired old man. He was the Deputy Association Head of the Auspicious Star Chamber of Commerce, Mao Xiuxuan. Everyone understood the meaning behind his words.
"It doesn't make any sense to talk about it now. Since Ning Cheng dared to enter the City Master's Mansion, then he would definitely stretch his hands over our heads. My thoughts are similar to Brother Xiuxuan's, that is, we should take advantage of the fact that he has not established himself yet. Otherwise, with his cultivation speed ….. "This time, it was a middle-aged man with a long beard. Everyone also understood his meaning.
Although this long-bearded man looked gentle, no one dared to underestimate him even half a point. He was the Gale Void Alliance's Bu Yuanmao, a Plundering Life Realm Cultivator.
