Chapter 93 - 93 : Exchange (1/2)
”... Ten thousand years ago, the four mythical beasts which are The Black Tortoise of the North, The Vermillion Bird of the South, The White Tiger of the West and last but not least the Azure Dragon of the East, these legendary beasts that are known to have died a long time ago had suddenly appeared. Not only that, but almost every world had been attacked by them at the same time. It may seem impossible but they somehow had an avatar technique that allowed them to multiply but their strength decreases a lot, albeit the decrease in strength, these four caused tremors and destruction in all the worlds. There were some worlds with strong experts that managed to barely withstand the attack but most of the worlds had been demolished.
No one knows why they did so as these beasts are known to be peaceful and tend to defend the Humans from invasion by some alien races.Even the principal Clans of the four beasts received some punishment and attacks by sect alliances, they declined a lot but they managed to defend their territories and heritage. From that year, the four legendary beasts are known as evil creatures and regarded negatively by almost everyone.”
As he spoke of the calamity, Azure Bai seemed to remember sad memories, there was no anger in his tone but only some regret and sadness.
”Why did they attack all the worlds?”
Arthur was shocked as he heard this story, he was a bit confused on why they suddenly attacked everyone.
”No one knows, they focused on destroying ancient heritages and killed everyone that tried to stop them, it was hell to fight them as their power was unimaginable, especially when they combine their powers. The only world that was almost unscathed is the main world they attacked, which is also known as the 'Divine Planet'. This main world had too many experts so thanks to combining their strength, they pushed the four beasts out of the planet and they even severely injured the Vermillion Bird.”
”What happened then, where the four beasts go? Did they get sealed or?”
Hearing this, Bai Lingyue chuckled and replied with a smile
”Sealed? It's practically impossible to seal them, especially if they're together. As for their whereabouts, no one knows, just like they suddenly appeared, they disappeared suddenly, no one could trace their location, even the legendary figures in the Divine Planet.”
Arthur could not help but sigh, it seems that this calamity was a big deal, it happened at Astria too but the damage was not that bad, after all, not everyone talked about it which means the impact was not that catastrophic. Moreover, there was the clan that had a tiny portion of the White Tiger's bloodline and they were not hated, in fact, they were respected.
...
Nongying finally came down from the fifth floor, unlike what they expected, she didn't hold any saber, so Arthur guessed that they the sabers are either sold or she didn't want to take them out as the manager refused to do so.
”Sorry for the wait, here's all the good quality saber we have here”
As she said that, she waved her hand and four sabers appeared from her storage, they were put on a small pillar stone not even 1 meter in height.
Lucy was excited as she saw the sabers, there was some description of them but she didn't pay it any much heed as the appraisal is way better.

'10,000!?'
Lucy was alarmed when she saw the prices, the last two sabers were not bad, but their prices are outrageous, it's like they put the price high purposely.
Although they could afford it, It would cost a lot, they didn't have unlimited Spirit Red Stones like the Gold so she wasn't sure in what to do.
”We'll take the last two”
Arthur calmly said, he knew the last two sabers suited her, so the moment he appraised them, he decided to buy them, moreover.
Nongying, who was hoping that they buy at least one of the first two sabers, was dumbstruck, she couldn't react as her eyes widened.
”Sir Arthur, could you please repeat what you said?”
She thought she was definitely hearing things, after all, 20,000 Top Class Spirit Red Stones are not something anyone could have.
Even the calm Azure Bai was a bit startled when he heard that.
”Friend Arthur, although these two sabers are good, it is a bit reckless to spend that much Spirit Stones on them, if you are lucky, you could find them at a lower price in an auction.”
Lucy also was unwilling to spend that much money just for a two sabers, she looked at Arthur and was about to stop him when she suddenly felt his hand patting her head, he was reassuring her and telling her it was alright, it was his usual behavior, for his wife, he would spoil her.
”Thanks for the advice Senior Bai, however, we're still going to buy the two of them”
Azure Bai kept silence when he saw that his advice didn't help at all, it was not his money that will be wasted, but he still didn't want his newly made friends to spend so much Spirit Red Stones for just two sabers.
Once Nongying heard that the couple really intended to purchase the two of them, she gasped and didn't know how to react, go prepare the weapons, or inform the manager.
As she was stuck in a dilemma, she heard an old yet excited voice.
”I presume you are Miss Lucy and Sir Arthur? Nongying told me about you two earlier.”
The old man who came had a long white beard, albeit his age, he had a muscular body and you could see he was full of Vitality. He wore some strange golden tight clothes and had a thick and long sword on his back.
He assessed Arthur and Lucy, after probing them while stroking his beard, he resumed his talking.
”Emm, I see, your Realms are not high, but to be bold enough to buy these two expensive sabers, I'm intrigued about your identities, but since I can't dive into personal information, I can only speculate...”
