Chapter Eight Hundred and Nine – Danger (2/2)

Cang Ling Xue’s delicate brow creased as she listened to the report of the subordinate.

Cang Ling Xue worked hard. After being given a scare, she didn’t dare to play any more tricks. Also, after the initial terror, she gradually adjusted to her new work. She quickly found that the strength of the faction was so great it was unimaginable. Only after a period of time did she realize the new faction she worked for was Mo Cloud Sea.

Of course she knew of Mo Cloud Sea.

In the yao world, everyone knew the name Mo Cloud Sea. This strong power, who did not have a lot of territory, but was strong and produced all kinds of talismans.

The yao did not have a habit of using talismans in the past. They used yao cores. But yao cores were rare and expensive. Yet, just a while ago, large amounts of yao cores that were suitable for yao started to appear on the market. Strangely, these yao cores were not natural, but synthetic.

There were only a rare few that knew that these forged yao cores were produced by Mo Cloud Sea. Cang Ling Xue who had been in business for many years was one of the rare few privy to this.

Mo Cloud Sea was like a riddle, powerful and mysterious.

Talismans, mo weapons, yao cores, their products were sold to all three races.

Even Tian Huan who was famed for their forging did not have the ability to produce three completely different types of weapons.

But Mo Cloud Sea did!

Too strong!

The rumors said the start of the shen power era had been initiated by the master of Mo Cloud Sea. The first pseudo-shen weapon had also been forged by the master of Mo Cloud Sea.

The last hint of unwillingness inside Cang Ling Xue disappeared at being able to be in the service of such a powerful faction. She was only curious. Why had Mo Cloud Sea picked her? She believed she had some talent, but for a large faction like Mo Cloud Sea, they had the ability to find someone better.

Even now, she did not understand this. But she understood that this was a chance for her, a great opportunity.

The business she had before was just a little business in an area. Right now, she managed a powerful faction that had the right to speak in all three realms. If she did well, she would definitely become a core member of Mo Cloud Sea in the near future. Undoubtedly, her family would rise as well.

Even though she had a competitor!

This did not demotivate her. While she did not have such a complex history as Hong Xiao, her growth had not been easy.

She did not fear competition.

Recently, the market had not been right. The price of shen equipment which had been rising constantly slowed in its rise, and in this month, a small drop had occurred.

This was definitely unusual.

Right now, there were only a few parties that had the ability to produce shen equipment. The one that sold best was Mo Cloud Shen Equipment due to the outstanding nature and the relatively low price. The Tian Huan shen equipment was also one of three major shen equipment but it was priced at almost twenty percent higher than Mo Cloud shen equipment. Kun Lun shen equipment was also outstanding in power, but their production was limited. It would take them a long time to just outfit their own forces.

The amount of Mo Cloud shen equipment on the market had greatly increased due to the large order from Xi Xuan.

From all the signs, it meant that in the long term, the price of shen equipment should remain high and not drop.

This unusual phenomenon, the fall in prices, immediately set off Cang Ling Xue’s alarm.

Someone was fighting for the market!

Qing Xiao quickly familiarized himself with Zuo Mo and the group.

Gradually, Zuo Mo understood what had happened. The master of the Totem Coliseum had been the good friend of the Greenvine Tribe. When he designed the Totem Coliseum, a branch of the Greenvine Tribe had settled in the Summer Palace to guard the forest for him. Then they started to live here.

At regular intervals, the master of the Totem Coliseum would help draw out the wish power in their bodies.

Yet, unexpectedly, the master of the Totem Coliseum disappeared and the Totem Coliseum closed. The Greenvine Tribe branch that lived in the Summer Palace were trapped inside. Due to this, they managed to avoid the Battle of the Sealed Extinction.

But the wish power in the sunlight became the greatest enemy of the Greenvine Tribe. When the strongest of the tribe were here, everyone could manage to get by. As the strongest among them started to die, the Greenvine Tribe started to decrease in number.

Untilnow, where Qing Xiao was the only one left.

Maybe because he had lived in this environment from childhood that Qing Xiao could resist wish power to a certain degree. However, if Zuo Mo and the other had not appeared, in twenty years, Qing Xiao would also die from the corrosion of wish power.

At that time, this vibrant forest would also disappear with Qing Xiao’s death.

Zuo Mo had to rejoice that he had come at this time.

Qing Xiao was lively, clever and innocent. Everyone liked him. This completely preserved forest had given him the best place to cultivate. The greenvine shen power he had was very pure. Other than become a completely deadweight in battle, his power astounded them.

That Green Pulse String that became especially scary in his hands. He seemed to innately know how to use the Green Pulse String. The long Green Pulse String was also unusually obedient. It was uncanny in his hands, unpredictable, and even the Ghost Mist Child was shocked.

With Qing Xiao here, walking out of the forest was very easy. Qing Xiao was familiar with every inch here, and did not find it difficult to lead them out of the forest.

Following Qing Xiao, the group quickly reached the edge of the forest.

An endless ocean and storm appeared in front of them.
