Supreme Warrior in the City

No one paid attention to the Second City Lord. Su Yang left the small town with three Crystal Skulls and found a deserted place to let these three guys keep watch from afar.

Afterwards, Su Yang retrieved his Personal Space from within the bones and took out some Spiritual Sources.

Of course, Su Yang didn’t take out too many Spiritual Sources. He didn’t want to attract attention, just enough to make things more convenient for himself was sufficient. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for him to draw too much attention.

Carrying the Spiritual Sources, Su Yang and his companions returned to the small town once more.

Everything was just as Su Yang had predicted; although they entered the small town with Spiritual Sources, they faced no hindrance at all. This town indeed had its rules.

This was something Su Yang could understand.

If the Main City didn’t have rules, how could it be called a Main City? Without rules, how could it sustain so many patrol guards, so many soldiers?

Many Saint Emperors who rob all over outside, did they really use the Spiritual Sources they seized? They could steal someone’s Spiritual Sources today, and tomorrow they might be robbed by others. If there wasn’t some kind of hope, would they still strive so hard?

Therefore, this Main City must be their sanctuary. After robbing some Spiritual Sources, they would reside in the Main City, enjoy its protection, and squander their Spiritual Sources. Meanwhile, the Main City earns some Spiritual Sources in this way to maintain its expenses.

Actually, this is the Law of human survival, which is widespread in the Great World. And in the passage within the Land of Chaos, even though resources are very scarce, wherever humans exist, they are bound to form factions, eventually establishing such Main Cities, which is inevitable.

Su Yang and his companions took a tour but did not go to the taverns and inns as suggested by the Second City Lord; instead, they chose this trading place.

This trading place resembled a small marketplace where people squatted on the ground, selling items as if setting up stalls. Those intending to purchase would wander among the vendors, searching for the things they wanted.

Of course, the trading place was not accessible without restriction. There were guards at the entrance, and those who wanted to enter must pay a certain amount of Spiritual Sources.

The four of them paid some Spiritual Sources and entered the market.

Most inside were alone, wandering or setting up stalls. No doubt, those who collected Spiritual Sources earlier were likely responsible for maintaining order in this market. No disputes were allowed here, as it was truly a place for trading. Otherwise, the people inside alone could create significant chaos. How could transactions be conducted so leisurely?

Just as Su Yang had speculated, most items for sale here were materials and Elixir Pills. These things weren’t Spiritual Sources or essentials, but for some Cultivators aiming to get stronger, they were very necessary.

Anyone wandering here presumably had extra Spiritual Sources at their disposal. Simply using Spiritual Sources to enhance their strength had become too slow, requiring some powerful Magic Artifacts and Armor to boost their abilities. Alternatively, some experts in Artifact Refining and Alchemy would come here to acquire materials and herbs to create Divine Artifacts and Elixir Pills to earn Spiritual Sources.

Such scenarios are relatively common in the Great World. However, those wandering here are all powerful Saint Emperors; this differentiates it completely from the Great World.

Su Yang and his companions wandered around, pretending to search for treasures, yet in reality, they were observing the situation here.

This trip to the small town was not intended to wait for the Guardian God to appear or to enter Bright City two years later. The Nine Palace Main Gods had entered Bright City, definitely for a reason.

Logically, they came here tracking Su Yang’s mother. These people entered Bright City and didn’t leave; isn’t it likely that Su Yang’s mother’s traces were in Bright City?

Su Yang even vaguely suspected that his mother might be inside Bright City.

Back when his mother severely injured the Red Leaf God and then imprisoned him, she left thereafter. However, the Guardian God would not give up searching for her. To evade the Guardian God, entering the Land of Chaos is quite possible!

The matter concerning Su Yang’s mother was not something he could just wait idly outside for; he must enter Bright City!

However, from the current situation in Bright City, forcibly breaking in is impossible. The only way is to sneak in. How to sneak into Bright City requires careful planning; Su Yang must at least first understand the situation over there!

Coming to this small town was for gathering such information.

Those able to trade in this market likely have some understanding of Bright City. Su Yang was contemplating how to find someone to inquire about the situation in Bright City.

While he was wandering around, someone also took an interest in him.

This was a short-statured man, who was setting up a stall on the ground. However, the items he was selling were somewhat insignificant herbs, thus few people stopped by his stall.

Since Su Yang and his companions entered, he focused on them. Seeing them wander around a couple of times, a smile played on his lips; he quickly packed up his goods and straightforwardly approached Su Yang and his companions.

”Fellow Daoists, haven’t found something you fancy?” The man asked with a smile, looking seemingly as harmless as a kind old soul.

Su Yang glanced at the man. Although his expression was amicable, Su Yang wasn’t a fool. As the saying goes, unwarranted affections signal ulterior motives.

In such a place, those Saint Emperors who made it here have all weathered countless battles and storms. How could such a person be genuinely so kind to people?

Most people here seemed calm, yet Su Yang could discern that they were all vigilant, a vigilance born from numerous bloody battles outside!

Of course, Su Yang didn’t show his wariness but only pretended to scrutinize the man puzzledly, saying, ”What, do you have something to say?”

”Nothing much, just asking out of curiosity!” the man replied with a smile: ”I saw you come in, wander around so much, and seemingly haven’t found anything appealing. So I thought I’d ask. I’m setting up a stall here; I might have some good stuff, maybe we can make a deal!”
