Chapter 177 (1/2)

The Contracted Sword That Secures Victory (Part II)

The capital of Sky Blue Nation changed its name to Phoenix City once they captured the Indigo Phoenix. Fifty years ago, the Su Family set their eyes on this place and set up several shops within the Phoenix City as a foothold. Now, Su Yun had become a wanted man, everyone in the Su family was tasked to capture him. If Su Yun came here without changing his appearance, he would be exposed and there would be endless of troubles for him.

He took off the mask and looked for the black hat. He put the sword sheath into his storage ring, but didn’t do so for the death sword just in case there were any accidents. Then he followed the crowd heading into Phoenix city.

As the Aqua Meteorite’s auction was about the begin, it was extremely crowded in Phoenix City. Other than the few sects that the king of Sky Blue Nation had invited, several other smaller sects came as well. Afterall, this auction sold other items other than the Aqua Meteorite.

Su Yun lowered his head and headed towards the palace. His eyes darted right and left. There were obviously more guards put in place within Phoenix City. Before, when he came into the city to purchase some ingredients, there were only a few soldiers walking around. But today, he had already passed by two rows of elite armoured soldiers. There were even royal spirit cultivators guarding the protector realm and arrays at different areas in the Phoenix City. once there was any accident, the entire protector realm and all of the arrays for the Phoenix city would be activated.

Although the Sky Blue Nation was not as rich as the Great Empress Nation, just purely relying on Aqua Meteorite, the king of Sky Blue Nation had earned quite a lot in the recent years. The defense around the city, realm and arrays had gotten a revamp. There was literally nothing to pick on their strength of defense.

Where should I leave from later?

Su Yun looked to the left then to the right to the guards and estimated the direction the realm would extend to.

There was already a plan in his mind, all he needed to do was to map out Phoenix City in his head. He was unfamiliar with the current defense, and time was running out.

“Hey hey hey!”

Right then, a hand suddenly slapped on Su Yun’s shoulders.

Su Yun trembled as he turned to look at the person.

He saw a sturdy, well-built man in jaded armour studying him with a disgusted look. He had a moustache and solid muscles. He was tanned.

“Young lad, where are your eyes when you’re walking? Don’t you know the road you’re walking on is reserved for master Cheng Bao!! It belongs to our master and he’s coming in a carriage right away. Before that, you’re going to be like them, fuck off to one side alright!! Wait till our master has passed through, then you’ll be allowed to walk! Understand?”

The sturdy man said fiercely as he pushed Su Yun continuously.

It was just that, his cultivation level was not on par with Su Yun’s. Even when he was pushing with all his might, he could not move Su Yun at all. This angered the sturdy man.

“Who’s your master?”

Su Yun looked up. Under the black hat, his pale face looked extremely eerie.

“Would someone little like you be fit to know who our master is? Fuck off!”

The sturdy man moaned. He knew Su Yun was a pain in the ass so he raised his hands to call a few men dressed in the same green armour as him over. Slowly, they walked over here arrogantly.

Su Yun stared at the sturdy man and pondered for a moment. Then, he turned and walked to the side.

“Hehe, that’s more like it. Or else, I’ll make you crawl there!”

The sturdy man then spat at Su Yun and laughed at him before he continued to clear the coast.

The people stood at the side and watched as the road was being cleared. The crowd stood together. It was practically impossible to advance forward. They could only wait for the barbarous master to pass through first in that carriage of his.

“Damn it! Where do these people come from? Why are they so arrogant?”

“Don’t you know? I’ll tell you! They’re from Jaded Heart Palace! Do you dare to offend them?”

“Who? Who are you talking about?”

“Jaded Heart Palace!”

“Jaded Heart Palace?”

Everyone was shocked.

“Why will Jaded Heart Palace be here? Aren’t they the sect of the Northern Continent? Why would they come here?”

“Who knows, probably for Aqua Meteorite! You can’t find such high ranked ingredients in the entire continent. The northern side don’t produce them and so, they can only get it from this place!”

“That’s right. I just wanted to beat them up but I thought I should tolerate them first. Who knew, these rascals are actually from Jaded Heart Palace!”

“Tsk, you’re from cobblestone stalk sect yeah? If such a small sect like cobblestone stalk sect gets into a conflict with Jaded Heart Palace, then that is truly seeking death! It’s so easy for them if they want to destroy you!”

“You have to remember how their badge around their waist looks like. It looks just like a leaf, that is unique to Jaded Heart Palace.”

“I will remember it.”

Everyone around was in a heated discussion. From their discussion, Su Yun understood their identities.

He never thought that these rascals were from the renowned ‘god-like’ Jaded Heart Palace.

Jaded Heart Palace was a strong and famous sect in the northern region. Even the powerful Divine Sword Sect was no match to them. As for Su Family, they were miles apart. Only the Long Ao Nation, Profound Sky Sect and Swallowing Heavens sect were on equal grounds to speak to them.

Su Yun did not know who the master the sturdy man was talking about but he was probably the heir of the disciples.

Although he was just a disciple, but there was a completely different meaning to it. The people from Jaded Heart Palace had huge fists that could make a grand entrance. They were arrogant and proud. Why should the strong ones be humble? The weaker ones should looked up to the strong. One would not understand unless they had attained that level.

Very quickly, a carriage being pulled by seven Qilin beasts came over.

The carriage was unusually extravagant. It was embellished with all sorts of arrays and jewels. On the sides of the carriage, there were several stage one Spirit Core Disciples from Jaded Heart Palace. Each of them clad in a jaded green armour. They looked prideful as they marched their way down just like a proud chicken.

Jaded Heart Palace indeed was strong and powerful. They had left their trails all around the world and they also had the highest number of experts in their sect so they would not acknowledge the existence of all the other puny sects. In their eyes, even the king of Sky Blue Nation should talk to them politely. The Jaded Heart Palace was not someone Sky Blue Nation could offend.

Su Yun looked at the carriage as it got further away. His eyes turned as though he was thinking about something.

As the carriage passed through, it quickly disappeared at the other end towards the palace. The people on both sides regained its order and they each walked their own paths.

The people from Jaded Heart Palace simply did not fear if they had offended other sects. They could resolve a conflict with a word ‘misunderstanding’. Afterall, it was a small matter. No one was willing to create sour relationship with a big sect like Jaded Heart Palace.

Su Yun held his head low as he thought. Seeing a medicinal shop at the side, he went in immediately.

“Boss, give me a few bottles of powder!’

“What kind of powder?”

“Phosphorus straw powder, flora fauna powder, fish maw powder and coral powder.”

“A total of nine thousand, eight hundred and seventy seven spirit coins!”

“Please lend me your pill room, this is ten thousand spirit spirit coins. There’s no need for change. Use it as your rental fee!”
