Chapter 152: Heavenly Star City
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘I wonder how the Tri-Gu Sect is doing now…’
After the Fierce Tiger Village incident, Zhou Feng continued to shuttle through the forest.
There wasn’t much else in the Southern Border, but this forest was endless.
To be honest, he was a little lost.
His goal was to escape the Tri-Gu Sect. Now that he had achieved that, there was no more pressure, and his future plans became blurry again.
He instantly relaxed.
After some time, Zhou Feng met a caravan.
This caravan was huge as it was made up of countless small caravans.
It looked like there were all sorts of people, but these merchants were probably the most well-informed people in this area.
It just so happened that he didn’t know where he was going either, so he followed behind this caravan.
Relying on his passive Nature Affinity, basically, no one was able to discover Zhou Feng.
“Sigh, what bad luck! Tell me, what sin have I committed!?”
“Truly a sin! Tell me, how can such a huge sect like the Tri-Gu Sect disappear just like that?”
“That’s right! You said such a large sect! So many Purple Mansion experts, and all of a sudden, it’s gone!”
“But I heard that the Tri-Gu Sect was ambushed by three forces this time. The strength of the entire sect is still there.”
“…”
While the owners of these caravans were resting, they began to chat with each other.
As they chatted, they naturally began to talk about the Tri-Gu Sect.
A major incident had occurred recently—the Tri-Gu Sect had been breached, and countless disciples had been killed.
This instantly caused the rest of the area to become chaotic, and many caravans that were planning to go to the mountainside market were forced to change paths.
Although the Tri-Gu Sect was breached, countless resources were plundered, and the disciples were all killed or injured, the sect’s true strength was not affected that much.
After all, the nine Tri-Gu Elders were still alive, Purple Mansion experts at that.
The Tri-Gu Sect Leader was also missing. It was likely that he was still alive.
If the Tri-Gu Sect were to establish a new sect with so many Purple Mansion experts, it was likely that they would be able to raise the reputation of the Tri-Gu Sect.
‘As expected, they lost the fight…’
Zhou Feng wasn’t too surprised when he heard this news.
Now that the Tri-Gu Sect was gone, he didn’t need to be so worried.
“But I heard that some of the elite Tri-Gu disciples also escaped!”
“Is that so? But without the golden name of the Tri-Gu Sect, won’t those elite disciples become vagabond cultivators?”
“Probably so! Forget it. Let’s not talk about such an unlucky matter! Let’s talk about Heavenly Star City!”
“Heavenly Star City? You mean the Sword God Inheritance!”
“That’s right! Do you think someone will be able to pull out the Heavenly Star Sword this year?”
“…”
As these people chatted, the topic changed to Heavenly Star City.
Heavenly Star City? What kind of place was that?
And what was this Sword God Inheritance?
Zhou Feng did not understand what they were talking about. Other than the Tri-Gu Sect, he was extremely unfamiliar with the outside world.
He did not know what kind of place Heavenly Star City was.
But it sounded like it was a large city. A city was very rare in the Southern Border.
‘Why don’t I follow this caravan to Heavenly Star City to see what’s going on?’
Zhou Feng felt rather eager to follow them than going to the distant Eastern Land. It would be better to go to Heavenly Star City to take a look.
It was better not to return to the Tri-Gu Sect to fish in troubled waters. There were still so many Purple Mansion experts.
If he encountered Old Demon Gu, he would be in danger.
Just as Zhou Feng made up his mind to follow this caravan to Heavenly Star City to take a look…
A conflict broke out in the huge caravan.
“My dear daughter! Where’s the turning point you mentioned? Why hasn’t it appeared yet!”
Qian Shang’s fat face was covered in sweat, and his expression was extremely anxious.
Qian Shang and his daughter were actually in this caravan?
That’s right! Qian Qianqian had a bad feeling before the Voodoo Cult invaded the Tri-Gu Sect.
She had once again advised Qian Shang to abandon his current business and continue running away.
One had to know that Qian Shang had finally established himself in the Tri-Gu Sect.
Moreover, he had been living a comfortable life thanks to Zhou Feng’s reputation. How could he suddenly give up all this and run away?
Still, Qian Qianqian’s attitude had been extremely firm, so Qian Shang finally made up his mind to sell most of the goods.
Then, he followed this group of caravans and left the Tri-Gu Sect.
Not long after Qian Shang and his daughter left, Tri-Gu Sect was in trouble.
Qian Shang was also very happy with his previous decision. If he had left a moment later, he might not have been able to leave again.
But now, they encountered a new crisis.
Another caravan had targeted the Treasure Mouse in Qian Qianqian’s hands.
Now, they were surrounding Qian Shang’s caravan.
The escorts that Qian Shang had hired were almost unable to withstand the pressure.
“How is it? Have you considered it? As long as you nod your head, I will definitely not mistreat you in terms of increasing the money!”
Qin Wan looked like he was very easy to negotiate, but he had been secretly pressuring them.
He really didn’t expect to meet the legendary Treasure Mouse in such a small place.
Although it was still in its infancy, Treasure Mice were really too rare.
Every one of them was a treasure!
‘Is it that father-and-daughter duo?’
The conflict between Qian Shang and Qin Wan also fell into Zhou Feng’s eyes.
Zhou Feng still remembered Qian Shang and his daughter very clearly. He didn’t expect to meet them in such a place.
This seemed a bit coincidental!
‘They seem to have encountered some trouble? They should have some information about Heavenly Star City!’
Zhou Feng was worried about treading blindly. It would be best if he had an acquaintance as a navigator.
Furthermore, Qian Shang and Qian Qianqian were the first to pay him protection money, so they could be considered acquaintances.
“How is it? Haven’t you considered it? You are preparing to go to Heavenly Star City this time, right?”
“Our Qin Clan can be considered influential in Heavenly Star City. If you do this, you are not giving face to our Qin Clan!”
Qin Wan looked at Qian Qianqian, who had not responded for a long time. He immediately lost his patience and started to threaten her.
The other small merchant caravans were basically waiting for a good show.
It was because the Qin caravan was quite famous in this joint caravan.
The Qin Clan of Heavenly Star City established and backed this caravan.
One must know that the forefather of the Qin Clan of Heavenly Star City was an elite Purple Mansion expert.
Under normal circumstances, no one would offend a clan with an elite Purple Mansion expert.
“Daughter! What should we do?” Qian Shang was sweating profusely.
Qian Qianqian didn’t say anything, but it could be seen that she was in a dilemma. Her hands were constantly tugging at her sleeves, and her lips were pursed.
“Who are you threatening?”
Zhou Feng felt that it was about time for him to stop hiding his aura upon seeing this.
The aura of a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator was completely released.
In an instant, everyone’s nerves tensed up.
“A Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator!? Where did he come from?”
“How can there be a Grade-1 Soul Altar expert? I actually didn’t notice it before?”
“…”
The strongest expert was only a Grade-3 Soul Altar cultivator among the merchants present.. It was really easy for people to misunderstand when a Grade-1 Soul Altar expert suddenly appeared.
