"Black?"
Ye Mo could understand the exchange of resources. It was to use resources of equal value to exchange with the other party. If both parties agreed, the exchange could be made. But the word "blackmail" made Ye Mo curious.
"All the merchant guilds in the Zone of Chaos belong to the Chaos Palace," the middle-aged man explained. "If we go to their merchant guilds to exchange resources, we'll be at a disadvantage. We'll have to spend twice the amount of resources to exchange."
The middle-aged man explained the word "black."
"Do people still go there?"
Ye Mo asked.
"The Chaos Palace monopolizes all the merchant guilds," the middle-aged man said. If you don't want to exchange it like this, there is another way, and that is gambling. The Chamber of Commerce will send an expert who is at the same cultivation level as you. If you defeat the expert sent by the Chamber of Commerce, you can take away this resource for free. But if you lose, you'll have to pay a resource of equal value to the merchant guild. "
The middle-aged man continued.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
Ye Mo raised his brows.
"Of course it's not that simple," the middle-aged man said. "Every merchant guild in the city has geniuses sent by the Chaos Palace. Geniuses of almost every realm are present. They all have the ability to challenge those of a higher realm.
It won't be easy to defeat them. "
"What a Chaos Palace."
Ye Mo was completely shocked. It wasn't without reason that the Chaos Palace could become the overlord of the Zone of Chaos. Cultivating geniuses, using this method to earn a large amount of resources for free, and using them to cultivate geniuses, over time, the Chaos Palace became a giant existence.
But the castellans of the Zone of Chaos weren't from the Chaos Palace. They were all lone cultivators. Their talent might not be strong, but their strength and battle experience weren't something ordinary warriors could compare to.
To become a castellan, one had to be extraordinary.
The Zone of Chaos was larger than the Zone of Desolation. In terms of population, there were probably hundreds of millions of people. Among the hundreds of millions of people, there were some old people who stood aloof from worldly affairs and experts in the Cosmos Realm. Among these people, there were thousands who stood out and became castellans. One could imagine the difficulty of this.
Of course, some cities were strong, and the castellans born from them were strong as well. There was also the possibility of other defeated castellans challenging the castellans of other cities.
In any case, it wasn't easy to stabilize the position of a castellan.
Ye Mo took out a Level Four Tier Nine Seal from his Xu Mi Ring and handed it to the middle-aged man. Then, he prepared to look for the merchant house.
Soon after, a huge golden war chariot appeared on the spacious street. The war chariot was extremely huge, almost taking up half of the street. It was pulled by seven Golden Armoured Beasts, causing many pedestrians to make way for it. Those who couldn't make it in time were trampled to death by the Golden Armoured Beasts and crushed by the war chariot.
Ye Mo even saw a few children who weren't even 10 years old being trampled to death and turned into a pile of meat paste.
On the chariot, there was a small palace that was dazzling with gold and jade. It was exceptionally gorgeous.
This was the first time Ye Mo had seen such a grand trip.
"Who is this? What an extravagance! "
Subconsciously, Ye Mo stepped aside. Looking at the children who were crushed to death, his heart was filled with anger.
Seeing that Ye Mo was about to attack, the middle-aged man pulled Ye Mo back and said, "Senior, don't be impulsive. I guess this is your first time in the Ice City. The man sitting in the golden palace is the only son of the deputy castellan of the Ice City. His name is Fen Qiantu. He's the real tyrant of the Ice City. No one dares to offend him."
"Oh?"
"Senior, although you're strong, compared to Fen Qiantu, there's still a huge gap. Among the younger generation, no one can suppress him. Even the experts of the older generation can only be defeated by him."
The warrior sighed.
"How strong is he?"
Ye Mo was rather curious. How strong was the strongest fighter of the younger generation in the Ice City?
"His strength has reached the intermediate stage of the Profound World Realm, and his father is in the advanced stage of the Profound World Realm. The deputy castellan of the Burning Flame City, Fen Gongwuliang, cultivates the Burning Flame Technique, which can incinerate anything. His Transcendence Golden Body is the Burning Flame Demonic Tiger, ranked 32nd on the Transcendence Ranking. If he can successfully advance to the Profound Heavens Realm, he might be able to compete for the position of castellan."
Hearing that, Ye Mo had an idea. In the Zone of Chaos, as long as one's strength reached the Profound Heavens Realm, they would have a chance to become the castellan of the Zone of Chaos.
"Who's the castellan of the Ice City?"
Ye Mo asked curiously.
"I've never had the honor to meet the castellan of the Ice City," the middle-aged man said. "I heard that she's a stunning beauty. She's a decisive killer and has a certain fierce reputation in the Zone of Chaos. In the end, she won the position with her own strength. Don't be fooled by the fact that she's a woman. She's been the castellan of the Ice City for more than half a year. She's accepted no less than 10 challenges and defeated all of them."
Speaking of the castellan, the True Energy Realm warrior smiled faintly.
"That woman is indeed a powerful figure."
Ye Mo admired this so-called castellan. For a woman to be able to make a name for herself in the Zone of Chaos wasn't an easy feat.
"I heard that Fen Qiantu is going to the castellan's mansion to propose to her. But he's a bit delusional. With his strength in the Mid-grade Profound World Realm, the castellan doesn't like him at all. There was once a Profound Heavens Realm warrior who wanted the castellan to be his cultivation partner, but he was rejected."
The True Energy Realm warrior continued to speak.
Ye Mo looked over. Behind the golden chariot, there were many carriages, each carrying boxes of resources. Behind the carriages, there were also some young maids, scattering flower petals.
"Not necessarily. Maybe they're a perfect match."
Ye Mo smiled and stopped paying attention to the so-called Fen Qiantu. These things had nothing to do with him. Finding out about the Primordial Shenrui Blood was his top priority.
After asking the middle-aged warrior for the address of the merchant house, Ye Mo walked toward the merchant house he had pointed out.
Not long after, they reached the end of the street, and an ancient building with a murderous aura appeared in front of them. There were countless doors, halls, and buildings that towered into the clouds. They were like giant beasts that stood tall and majestic.
Many people came and went like ants.
In this merchant house, there were all kinds of magical treasures, materials, weapons, pills, and martial techniques. But they weren't exchanged for equal value. Instead, they were exchanged for double the amount of resources, or they were gambling with the people of the merchant house.
Ye Mo walked in and saw that there was a Magical Formation on the door of every stall. This Magical Formation was the Gambling Formation. The Magical Formation allowed two people to enter at the same time and enter the illusory realm to fight. This kind of illusory realm battle allowed the contestants to compete with their real strength without hurting themselves.
"Young man, the weapon on your back looks good. Do you want to exchange it with me?"
One of the Transcendence Ninth Realm warriors started to provoke Ye Mo.
On his stall, there were many weapons on display. There were even a few Bejeweled Weapons, which shocked Ye Mo.
Ye Mo had no interest in these weapons. Now that the Sky Blood Spear had advanced to a Low-grade Celestial Weapon, it could only advance by absorbing the weapon spirit of a Celestial Weapon.
"Sir, I'm the manager of the Frost Ice City Merchant House," the old woman said. "If you have any needs, you can ask me anytime."
Ye Mo was suddenly stopped by the old woman.
"I need the Primordial Shenrui Blood."
Ye Mo said calmly.
