On the 16th of August, it snowed heavily.
Duanmu Continent's temperature was obviously much colder than the Land of the Nine Prefectures. In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the highest temperature was naturally in the summer months of May and June. However, in Duanmu Continent, even in May and June, ordinary people had to wear thick robes. It was now August, so it was normal for snow to freeze.
This was why almost all the buildings in Duanmu Continent had domes or pointed roofs.
If the roofs were flat, the accumulated snow would be so thick that it could collapse some houses and cause disasters!
… …
The surroundings of the Godly Axe Mountain seemed to be covered with a white hat. Even the thick ice of the Crescent Moon Lake was covered with snow.
In front of the house, Teng Qingshan wore a white fur coat, looking like a delicate and handsome youth from a large clan. Beside him was Li Jun, who was also wearing a white fur coat.
"It's rare for me to see such heavy snow in Yangzhou!" Teng Qingshan looked at the heavy snowfall and sighed, "Even in the Great Prairie where the weather is cold, one can only occasionally see such a large snowfall during winter!"
"Big Brother Teng, this is only the southern part of Duanmu Continent." Li Jun's face was full of smiles, "And it's not even winter! The Northern Frosty Region of Duanmu Continent is much colder than this. "
The Tianfeng Canyon was one of the three most dangerous places. Even an expert at the peak of the Postliminary Realm would freeze to death when the cold wind blew! It was obvious how cold it was.
"Yes, they're here!"
Teng Qingshan stared at the forest in the distance. The Second Elder of the Rising Sun Trading Company, who was dressed in a fox fur coat and appeared very fat, was leading dozens of experts who were all wearing armor, helmets, and weapons on their backs. These experts spread out and protected the Second Elder well. It was obvious that they were well-trained.
"Little Jun, tell Blue Luan." Teng Qingshan said.
Li Jun turned her head and called softly to Blue Luan, who was crouching lazily on the quilt. Blue Luan also called out crisply.
"Old Wang, I'll leave this place to you for now." Teng Qingshan ordered.
"Boss, don't worry." Old Wang, who was wearing a thick cotton coat, answered at the door of his house.
This time, only Teng Qingshan and Li Jun were going to Nanshan City.
As for Old Wang, Little Ping, Teng Shou, and the two great demonic beasts, the Whole Gale Eagle and the Blue Luan, they were all staying at the Crescent Moon Lake. With the Blue Luan here, Teng Qingshan was not worried that something would happen.
"Mister Teng!" The Second Elder smiled and shouted from afar.
"Second Elder!"
Teng Qingshan also smiled and walked side by side with Li Jun in the snow. The snow was very deep, and when they stepped on it, their ankles would be completely submerged. Teng Qingshan carried a long holster on his back. The Reincarnation Spear had already been dismantled into two pieces and placed inside. Li Jun also had a long whip tied around her waist.
"Mister Teng, the carriage is waiting by the official road outside the forest." The Second Elder chuckled.
"Thank you, Second Elder."
Teng Qingshan smiled.
Immediately, Teng Qingshan, Li Jun, and the Second Elder walked out of the forest, while the solemn group of armored warriors protected them.
*****
Nanshan City, Drifting Cloud Mansion.
This Drifting Cloud Mansion was one of the important strongholds of the Situ Trading Company in Nanshan City. Today, there was a large number of elite soldiers guarding the Drifting Cloud Mansion. Armored, helmeted, and combat boots, the soldiers stood orderly along the walls of the Drifting Cloud Mansion! At a glance, it was a majestic sight, like a black steel flood.
Not only that!
The few streets within a hundred Zhang around the Drifting Cloud Mansion were also blocked!
Many confused people on the streets were puzzled.
"What happened today? Why are the surrounding streets not allowed to walk? "
"Who knows! Look, those soldiers are all wearing full sets of heavy armor. I wonder where they got so many soldiers in one night. "
Many people stood on the side of the road, looking at the dense mass of soldiers from afar, muttering to themselves.
"What's going on here? Why are they blocking the road! "
Both of them were riding on one-horned war hou, and one of them, who was dressed elegantly, shouted. The group of indifferent soldiers looked at the young man coldly. Among the soldiers, there was an old man wearing a golden robe. He shouted coldly, "Little bastard, get out of the way. This is not a place for you to behave atrociously today! "
His voice was still ringing —
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!"
Following the shout, two luxurious carriages, one in front and one behind, were escorted by hundreds of elite soldiers in dark red heavy armor. The flags on the carriages had the word 'Murong' on them.
"It's the Murong Clan!"
"It's the Murong Clan's most elite soldiers, the Dark Blood Guards. With hundreds of Dark Blood Guards protecting them, could it be that the Patriarch of the Murong Clan is out?"
The two young men, who were initially feeling indignant, were so frightened that they immediately hid by the roadside. The Murong Clan was one of the three major clans of Nanshan City, and was qualified to have a share of the pie in Nanshan City. Such a large clan was ranked among the top super clans in the world. How could these two young men dare to provoke them?
The old man in the golden robe who welcomed the guests immediately waved his hand.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
At this moment, the dense mass of soldiers that originally blocked the street immediately moved to the side in an orderly manner, creating a path. The large group of people from the Murong Clan immediately went over in a grandiose manner. After that, the large mass of heavily armored soldiers once again blocked the entire street, preventing outsiders from entering.
After a while —
Another luxurious procession came over. The flag that was waved high up had two words on it — 'Shangguan'.
"Shangguan? Could it be the Shangguan Clan of the West Tang Region? "
Some of the more knowledgeable people at the side recognized the Shangguan Clan with one look at the flag. It was the Shangguan Clan, one of the overlords of the West Tang Region!
… …
The people from the major clans arrived one after another. The group of onlookers who were blocked outside the street were extremely excited. They heard some knowledgeable people talking loudly about the Fang Clan of the East Flower Region, the Shangguan Clan of the West Tang Region, the Wang Clan of the South Mountain Region, and so on. Each of these clans had many stories.
These people were all amazed —
Those who could enter this kind of gathering were the true upper-class people of Duanmu Continent! In the past, the descendants of some generals or rich people were nothing in front of these major clans!
"Move aside!"
"Move aside!"
Another luxurious group of carriages came over. Those heavily armored soldiers were uniformly riding War Hous! It would be too embarrassing for the elites of these major forces to ride Hunchbacked Beasts. The War Hous had their horns raised high. In the cold weather, the War Hous breathed out white breath from their nostrils. Their four powerful hooves made loud noises as they stomped on the stone slabs of the street.
The two words "Rising Sun" were engraved on the fluttering flag.
"It's the Rising Sun Trading Company!"
Many exclamations sounded. Although the Rising Sun Trading Company didn't contend for hegemony in the world, it was much more powerful than the Wang Clan, the Shangguan Clan, and the other clans. After all, it was a major trading company that had existed for thousands of years. Its members were all over the world.
The soldiers on the street immediately opened up a path.
In the carriage.
Teng Qingshan, Li Jun, and the Second Elder were all in the carriage. This carriage was more than one Zhang wide and nearly three Zhang long. Such a luxurious carriage could easily seat ten people.
"We're almost at the Drifting Cloud Mansion." The Second Elder glanced outside through the window and said with a smile.
Through the crack of the window, Teng Qingshan could see the large number of people outside.
"When we get there, Mister Teng, you will be able to see the Great Elder." The Second Elder said with a smile, "You and the Great Elder are the most powerful experts in the world. If it wasn't because he wanted to see you … the Great Elder might not even come to this auction!"
"From what you said earlier, I really want to see your Great Elder!" Teng Qingshan sighed with emotion.
On the way, the Second Elder mentioned the Great Elder!
The Rising Sun Trading Company's Great Elder was the person with the highest status in the Rising Sun Trading Company! Not only did the Great Elder possess supreme authority, but he was also one of the most powerful experts in the world. He was even known to be invincible under the Martial Immortal Realm! The reputation of the Rising Sun Martial Saint was already very famous several decades ago.
Several decades ago, the Rising Sun Martial Saint was unrivaled in the world.
Several decades ago, this Great Elder, the Rising Sun Martial Saint, rarely showed his face. Therefore, no one knew his strength. However, many people in the world believed that the Rising Sun Martial Saint was the strongest person below the Martial Immortal!
"To be able to control the Rising Sun Trading Company, which has been passed down for several thousand years … I am really curious about this Great Elder." Teng Qingshan thought to himself as a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Second Elder, we've arrived at the Drifting Cloud Mansion." A respectful voice came from outside the carriage.
The carriage stopped.
"Let's alight." The Second Elder, Teng Qingshan, and Li Jun alighted from the carriage in succession.
*****
Under the protection of a group of guards, Teng Qingshan and the other two walked through the main entrance of the Drifting Cloud Mansion. The Drifting Cloud Mansion was built with white walls and black tiles. Every corner of the mansion revealed the ancient history of this mansion. They walked along a clean stone path in the center of the front yard. Then, they stepped into a corridor and walked around for a long time before they arrived at the entrance of a garden.
He arrived at the entrance of a garden, where hundreds of elite martial artists were gathered.
"The Second Elder of the Rising Sun Trading Company has arrived!" Immediately, a person welcoming the guests shouted loudly.
"Second Elder, the guards can wait here." A middle-aged man welcoming the guests smiled and said, "More than twenty clans have arrived."
"Yes."
The Second Elder glanced at him and said, "Give me a number plate!"
The middle-aged man was slightly surprised, "Second Elder, your Rising Sun Trading Company's Great Elder has already taken a number plate. Why does he need a number plate? "
"Why does he need to take a number plate?" Teng Qingshan asked the Second Elder beside him. The Second Elder smiled and explained, "The Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablet is a set of stone tablets that will be sold at an extremely high price. Ordinary rich clans can't afford it … Therefore, the Situ Trading Company is distributing number plates! Only those who have obtained the number plate can bid for the Blunt Vanadium Stone Tablet. There are so many clans, and some clans have sent people from extremely far away places. It's impossible for them to travel with hundreds of thousands of gold taels. "
"Therefore, those who are able to afford it can obtain a number plate," the Second Elder said.
"Second Elder, whose name should be written on the second number plate that your trading company wants?" The middle-aged man took out a number plate.
The Second Elder said, "Just write 'Teng' on this number plate. In your account book, put this number plate under the name of the Rising Sun Trading Company. "
"Alright." When the middle-aged man heard the words' put it under the name of the Rising Sun Trading Company, 'he was no longer worried.
What they worried about the most was that someone would quote a sky-high price and then slip away without paying! With the Rising Sun Trading Company as a guarantor, there would naturally be no problem.
"Second Elder, you can go in first." The middle-aged man handed over the number plate and said with a smile.
Just as Teng Qingshan took the number plate, a group of people arrived from behind.
"The Fang Clan of Danyang City has arrived!" The person welcoming the guests from the Situ Trading Company shouted loudly.
