The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 693 - Fen Qiantu



Chapter 693: Fen Qiantu

“Under-the-table?”

Ye Mo could understand exchanging resources – exchanging for someone else’s resources of equal value, and the transaction could be done if a negotiation could be reached. However, speaking of “under-the-table” made Ye Mo somewhat curious.

“All the trade events in the cities of the Zone of Chaos are owned by the Zone of Chaos itself,” the man started to explain. “We’re basically putting ourselves at a disadvantage when we exchange resources at these trade events, requiring at least twice the value of what we want to exchange in order to conduct the exchange.”

“And there are still people who go and exchange for these resources?” Ye Mo asked.

“The Chaos Palace has a complete monopoly over the trade events. What do you think?” the man replied. “If we don’t go through their method, there’s another way – betting. The trade events will send a fighter of the same realm to fight against you. If you can defeat the fighter, you can take the item for free – if you lose, you have to hand over an item of equal value.”

“It can’t be that easy?” Ye Mo raised his brows.

“Of course not,” the middle-aged man said. “There’s always a prodigy from the Chaos Palace at every trade event. There’s almost a prodigy at every realm, and all of them can challenge beyond their own tier. It isn’t easy to defeat them.”

“The Chaos Palace is something else.”

Ye Mo was shocked. It wasn’t without reason that the Chaos Palace was able to become a ruler in the Zone of Chaos. Using this method to nurture talents and acquire huge amounts of resources for free on top of it. Before long, they would become an unparalleled existence.

But the city masters of the Zone of Chaos weren’t members of the Chaos Palace. Were they all fighters from different training backgrounds? While their level of giftedness may not be strong, their strength and battle experience weren’t things that normal fighters can compete against.

It would take someone special to become a city master.

The Zone of Chaos was bigger than the Zone of Desolation. In terms of population size, there was at least a hundred million people. Among them, minus the elders in recluse and fighters in the Cosmos Realm, those who could become city masters were the cream of the crop – a thousand people out of a hundred million. The difficulty of reaching such a level was obvious.

Of course, some cities were stronger, and the city masters there were stronger as well. There was also a possibility of a fallen city master challenging another city’s city master.

Anyway, it would be extremely difficult for one to keep their throne as the city master

Ye Mo took out a Level Four Ninth Tier Seal from his Xu Mi Ring and handed it to the middle-aged man as he prepared to go and look for the trade event.

After that, there was a giant golden battle carriage riding along the wide street. The carriage was huge, almost taking up half of the street. Seven golden-armored beasts pulled the carriage. Passers-by jumped out of the way. Those who didn’t manage to get out of the way in time ended up being crushed by the beasts and run over by the golden battle carriage.

Ye Mo even saw a few children under the age of ten turned into a pile of flesh, just like that.

Atop the carriage was a small palace that gave off a golden glow and an unusual elegance.

Ye Mo had never seen an entrance so grand.

“Who is that? Such a grand entrance.”

Stepping aside, he felt a hint of anger as he saw the children who were crushed to death.

Seeing that Ye Mo was about to make a move, the middle-aged man pulled him back and said, “Senior, don’t be rash. This must be your first time here in Frost Ice City. The person sitting inside the golden is the only son of the deputy city master – Fen Qiantu. He is a true dominant figure here in Frost Ice City. No one dares to offend him.”

“Oh?”

“Senior, you may be strong, but compared to Fen Qiantu, there’s a world of difference.” The man sighed. ” No one in the younger generation is able to suppress him. Even fighters in the older generation can’t stand against him”

“How strong is he?” Ye Mo was more curious than concerned – how strong was the younger generation of the Frost Ice City?

“His strength has already reached the intermediate stage of the Profound World Realm. Furthermore, his father is in the advanced stage of the Profound World Realm – Deputy City Master Fenguan Wuliang of the Burning Flame City. He can turn everything into ashes. His Transcendence Golden Body is the Burning Flame Demon Tiger, ranked 32nd in the rankings. If he can advance to the Profound Heaven Realm, there’s a chance that he’ll be able to attain the position of city master.”

Hearing that, Ye Mo got an estimate of strength. In the Zone of Chaos, a fighter with strength in the Profound Heaven Realm would be able to attain the position of city master.

“Then, who’s the city master of the Frost Ice City?” Ye Mo asked curiously.

“I haven’t had the privilege of meeting the city master of the Frost Ice City. I heard that she’s a generational beauty.” The man smiled slightly. “Extremely ruthless, and infamous in the Zone of Chaos. She climbed up to the position of city master using her own strength. Don’t underestimate her just because she’s a woman – she’s been sitting on her throne for more than half a year, taking on more than ten challengers and killing off all of her opponents.”

“This woman is indeed something else.”

Ye Mo had some admiration for this city master. A woman being able to make a name for herself in the Zone of Chaos was no easy feat.

“I heard that the purpose of Fen Qiantu’s trip is to visit the residence of the city master and propose a marriage with her. But he’s a bit in over his head – with strength in the intermediate stage of the Profound World Realm, he’s not in the same league as City Master. There used to be a fighter in the Profound Heaven Realm who wanted to make her his bride, but he was rejected outright.”

Ye Mo looked over. Behind the golden battle carriage was a giant cart carrying boxes of resources. Behind it were a few young girls, tossing out flower petals.

“That remains to be seen. He may be a real looker.” Ye Mo smiled, no longer paying Fen Qiantu any more attention. These affairs had nothing to do with him – finding more about the Ancient Deity Rui Blood was still his priority.

After asking the middle-aged fighter for the address of the trade event, Ye Mo followed his directions and walked over.

Not long after, he reached a dead end, and before his eyes was an ancient tower with a murderous aura. With countless doors, the tower soared into the sky like a huge beast standing upright, looking extremely authoritative.

There were so many people coming in and out, and they were packed like ants.

In the trade event were all types of magical treasures, materials, weapons, pills, and martial techniques. But none of the items could be exchanged for their actual value – they could either be exchanged for an item equivalent to twice its value, or participate in a betting fight with the trade event.

Ye Mo walked over and saw that, atop every stall, was a magical formation. These formations were the Betting Fight Formation. Two people could enter the formation to fight. In the illusion environment, a battle could be commenced to determine one’s true strength without causing any damage.

“Kid, you’ve got a pretty nice weapon on her back,” a Ninth Tier fighter said to Ye Mo. “Do you want to give it to me?”

There were plenty of weapons laid across his stall, even a few treasure items, much to Ye Mo’s surprise.

“Customer, I’m the manager of Frost Ice City’s trade event,” an elderly lady suddenly called over to Ye Mo. “If you have any questions, you can come and consult me.”

“I need the Ancient Deity Rui Blood,” Ye Mo said calmly.
