C136 A Mix of Fish and Dragon
There were all kinds of items in the shop: weapons, clothes, Beast Bead, jewelry... ... ... The specialties from all over the continent could be seen here. Huang Qing looked calm and indifferent. However, she was still attached to the mortal world. Every time she went to a shop, she would pick up her favorite products curiously and excitedly to take a look. However... She didn't buy anything, even if it was a gorgeous dress, it was still an exquisite ornament. After fondling it admiringly, she put it back to its original place.
"The thing is beautiful, but what's the use of this world's superficial beauty?" Huang Qing sighed and said.
Su Chen nodded and agreed with her very much. A bustling place like a fallen leaf would eventually pass away. Why should she care about that superficial appearance?
The auction venue was also crowded with people, and all kinds of precious treasures were appearing in an endless stream. There were some rare spirit medicines that even Su Chen had never seen before. Of course, the price of these things was terrifyingly high for ordinary people. They would never be able to buy a corner of a treasure in their entire lives.
Su Chen accompanied Huang Qing and watched the entire auction. In the end, Huang Qing seemed to have gained some insight and said, "There will never be true fairness in this world. Look at those people who do not have money. They can't even fight for a single item, so they can only watch the show. As for those rich people, they are arrogantly fighting to buy something that should not be worth that much money. People's vanity has made them stupid."
Su Chen pondered for a moment. He laughed and said, "Human nature is always like this. Other than saints, how many people can eliminate vanity? Not even the self-cultivators of Dao Sect, let alone mortals. They only do this to prove that they exist. They just want to find their own satisfaction and happiness."
Huang Qing's eyes were incomparably bright as she stared at Su Chen. Suddenly, she giggled and said, "You are right. You have been taught."
The two of them stayed in the Iron Gate City for two days before they set off for Free City. Although the Free City did not belong to the Nanqing Country, it was only three hundred miles away from the Iron Gate City. It was located in the southwest direction. In the north was the endless Red Stone Mountain Range. However, that mountain range was much more dangerous than what Su Chen had gone through. There were even more ferocious Devil Beast there, and many practitioners didn't dare to trespass into that dangerous place.
About a hundred miles away, there were cultivators who could fly in the sky. It wouldn't take more than half an hour to reach, but Su Chen still insisted on walking to Free City. They passed by a few small towns along the way and finally arrived at a spacious grassland.
Autumn had arrived. The originally verdant and vibrant plants on the grassland had now turned yellow and yellow. It was a desolate and desolate land. The road leading to the front was a muddy road. The ground flashed with black light. The winding road led into the distance. On both sides of the road, mature crops and farmhouses could be seen from time to time.
This road was not dangerous, and there were quite a lot of people on it. The merchants and tourists from Iron Gate City to Free City passed by here. Su Chen could even see some practitioners who used the same method of walking to Free City.
After walking for five days, a majestic and tall city appeared in front of them. Magnificent buildings stood in the middle of the city, as if they were arranged in a row by giants. Moreover, the height and height of the buildings were arranged in an orderly manner, causing one to be able to associate it with the prosperity of the city at a glance.
The grassland area began to be replaced by lush forests. The dirt road also turned into a bluestone road. Moreover, this place was like a human aorta. The paths from all directions were like countless small meridians converging towards this place.
Caravans, pedestrians, and cultivators from all over the continent had arrived. The number of cultivators had reached a peak, and the huge army of people was rushing towards the Free City along the stone road. It could be imagined how prosperous the Free City was!
"Roar!" A huge Devil Wolf let out a loud roar. The pedestrians on the road were so scared that they quickly hid to one side. A Western Beast Knight was sitting on the Devil Wolf's body, holding a long spear in its hand. It looked at the passers-by as if nothing had happened and quickly rushed towards Free City.
"It must be another criminal who fled to the Free City to seek refuge!" A passer-by muttered.
After a while, a mercenary group of over a thousand people. All of them wore bright armor and looked valiant. Under the lead of a middle-aged man riding a white horse, protecting a large merchant group, they moved forward in an orderly manner.
"That is the White Horse Mercenary Group, one of the most famous mercenary groups on the continent. The person who can invite them to escort the goods must have a great background."
Along the way, Su Chen heard a lot, and also saw a lot. The prosperity of Free City was unimaginable. Almost all of the famous groups and figures on the continent might appear there.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!" Dozens of different colored lights streaked across the heads of the people. Those were the cultivators who were flying in the sky. After a while, there were all kinds of Devil Beast that could fly in the sky that flapped their wings. They carried the beast tamers and the living Beast Knight to the Free City.
Everyone seemed to be used to this kind of thing. Even those who had just arrived here had seen it a few times, and they had gradually adapted to it. Su Chen and Huang Qing looked at each other, as if they were saying that Free City was indeed a place where dragons and fishes mixed together.
In the evening, they entered Free City. There was no need for any formalities. The Free City was open to everyone. As soon as they entered the city, Su Chen encountered an intense battle. A few Elementalist and Swordsman fought with a few warriors. They were not far from each other, and their heads were bleeding.
The powerful Elemental Magic Spell and Sword Qi even broke some of the buildings into pieces. No one stopped them. Instead, many people surrounded them to watch the show. They even cheered and cheered excitedly.
In the end, it was unknown which side admitted defeat first. The battle ended just like that. No one even knew why they were fighting.
This was the Free City. Fighting and fighting could happen at any time. Whoever was stronger had more power.
However, everything had to have a pattern to maintain balance. Free City was the same. They had an unwritten rule. It was that people of the same generation could compete with each other and attack each other. However, if the older generation used their profound cultivation base to kill the younger generation, that would cause public outrage. When people of the same generation fought, they could only admit that their skills were inferior to others. When people of different generations fought, that was an unfair competition. No one would be willing to lose. Not only the world of cultivators, even the mortal world hated this kind of thing.
Therefore, this kind of immoral behavior that was disdained by others was not welcomed anywhere. Because of this rule, many cultivators could peacefully compete with their peers and not fear the support of the older generation.
Su Chen and the others wanted to find an inn to stay in, but almost all the inns were full. However, this was also within their expectations. The Free City was such a bustling place, it would be strange if they could find an inn anywhere.
Su Chen took out some Beast Bead and changed it to Immortal Coin. He still did not plan to use the money Yu Yue gave him. He did not want to use the money. To Su Chen, its value was many times higher than money.
However, the saying "money can be divine" was very effective. Under the control of the Immortal Coin, the owner of a hotel immediately arranged two good guest rooms for Su Chen and the others. In the hotel where Su Chen stayed, there were many powerful practitioners. There were even Dao, Buddhist, and even the disciples of the Western Sect.
Apart from eating and drinking, Su Chen took off his blue cloth, and spent the rest of his time dressing himself up. He wore a full set of clothes. He wore a light blue robe and a black hat. There was also a newly bought iron sword hanging from his waist. If he didn't intentionally reveal his identity, no one would be able to recognize him.2
"Have you heard? A few hall masters of the Dragon City Gang in Free City were killed by a group of mysterious assassins. The Dragon City Gang was extremely angry when they helped Lu Chao. They are sending all the major powers to investigate the whereabouts and identities of these assassins." Someone said.
"What a big event! The major powers in Free City were constantly fighting amongst themselves. It was very likely that the other sects had sent people to do this. "
"Cough cough, someone is talking too much. Be careful of your life." Someone used a low voice to remind him in the dark.
Everyone's conversation suddenly came to an end. They looked at each other in dismay. Anything could happen in Free City. If a weak person accidentally said something wrong, it would also bring about the disaster of killing.
Huang Qing's bright eyes stared at Su Chen quietly, and she said, "Dragon City Gang, isn't the fart that we encountered in Wind Cloud City the Dragon City Gang?"
A ray of light flashed across Su Chen's eyes. He laughed and said, "I know. He told me to be careful. I will remember to be careful."
The corner of Huang Qing's mouth suddenly revealed a strange smile. There was a cunning and mischievous look on her face as she said, "You guys have done all kinds of evil and bullied others with your power. Should we play the role of Xianxia and teach them a lesson?"
After she said that, she added another sentence. "It must be very fun."
Su Chen chuckled. He also had the same thought in his heart. He was not a person who followed the rules. There was a sense of justice in his personality.
Su Chen and Huang Qing discussed in detail and decided to investigate the Dragon City Gang's information first. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. They were not reckless people. Even if they wanted to teach the Dragon City Gang a lesson, they wouldn't expose their identity so easily. Everything would be carried out in secret as much as possible.
They had found out about a place in Free City that was filled with both good and bad people. There were all kinds of underground transactions going on there, and there were casinos and brothels set up there. The members of the Dragon City Gang would frequently come and go there.
A fairy like Huang Qing was elegant and refined, even if she was willing to go. Su Chen would not let her go to those vulgar places. Huang Qing also understood Su Chen's thoughts, so she took the initiative to go to another place to investigate the news of the Dragon City Gang. The two of them promised to return to the hotel the next night no matter what.
"Qinger, be careful. If there is any danger, you must leave immediately." Before leaving, Su Chen said with concern.
"I will. Mr. Dugu, take care too. Don't let me worry." Qinger smiled sweetly. Her pale yellow figure slowly disappeared into the distance. However, Su Chen's heart trembled for some reason.
