"Don't be too haughty, Nineteenth Prince. You're only a frog who lives in a small swamp, has never ventured into the outside world, and has never encountered a truly strong man. You'd better not say that because in this world, no matter the place, there are always hidden tigers and sleeping dragons!"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the room on the formidable Bird Throne spoke up. This middle-aged man was the one at the peak of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom, the king of the people who lived in the land of this kingdom, and also the current Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Sect.
"Your Majesty… I know that, but how do you think a small kingdom like that has a strong martial master hiding there? It's mostly just the Immortal stage in general. On the other hand, the army we sent was just our weakest army. Therefore, they…"
"You speak as if you could lead an army on your own, Nineteenth Brother!" While the Nineteenth Prince was speaking, a young man's voice not far away rang out with a slightly contemptuous look in his eyes.
Huh...?
"Eighteenth Brother, what do you mean by this? Or have you forgotten about us at the arena a few days ago?" replied immediately the Nineteenth Prince, knowing who had taunted him, so he spoke about something that had just happened.
"You!!!"
As soon as the Eighteenth Prince heard the Nineteenth Prince's words, his face was visibly pale, with bulging veins and the sound of his teeth clenching together until they shattered. Besides the Eighteenth Prince, many other princes also had the same expression because these words had pierced their hearts greatly as well.
"You think I'm scared? The matter at that time was that my body was not ready!" The Eighteenth Prince immediately made an excuse to make himself look good.
"Then, when Eighteenth Brother's body is ready, let's fight again!" the Nineteenth Prince also relentlessly stabbed at it with a pleading expression.
"You!!! You dare to…"
Bang!!!
"Shut your mouth!!! This place is where you guys come to have fun? Don't you know we're having a meeting? If you don't understand, then I'll teach you guys myself!" Finally, the middle-aged man, the king of the kingdom and the head of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Sect, who could not stand it, burst out by smashing the armrest of the chair until there was a loud rumbling sound all around.
"I... I... I beg your pardon, sir!!!" Both the Nineteenth Prince and the Eighteenth Prince immediately apologized and lowered their heads without saying a word again.
"Next time, don't act like this again. Otherwise, I'll not warn you verbally anymore! Alright, right now, there's nothing serious to worry about. I just want to know who was able to kill my army so quickly. That person must be the Immortal Soul martial master or above. So, order the Fire Spirit-Hunt Squad to go and investigate this matter!"
"Yes, sir!!!"
Back to Zheng-Fu…
It had been the fourth day of the trip. Along the way, Zheng-Fu encountered many people. They were villagers, wandering cultivators, and even soldiers as well as bandits, but they were unable to perceive him and Solo as if they were only the air.
Some people seemed to feel something passing by them but only felt it. Most of these people were all at the Immortal stage. And there were many cultivators of this level around here, while Blueland had very few Immortal martial masters.
"The Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom has many areas with dense Qi energy suitable for cultivating, resulting in a large number of Immortal martial masters. Unlike in my Blueland, the surrounding conditions are not conducive to training, so most people are trapped at the Golden Core stage.
As for the rich, wealthy, or big sects with enough resources, they could cultivate some disciples for the Nascent Soul stage, but the Immortal stage only had a handful."
Zheng-Fu said this while looking at the things along the way he passed. And he compared it to his own kingdom, which was very sad because of the natural surroundings and the limited resources. So, there had been only a handful of high-level martial masters, and the strongest was only the intermediate level of the Immortal stage, if not included at this time.
But now, everything had changed since Zheng-Fu planned to rebuild In-See City and his Beyond Earth Sect that would change Blueland in the future. Especially the areas within the Beyond Earth Sect that were densely packed with Qi energy everywhere. It would even increase when the status within the sect was higher such as disciple promotion.
The Beyond Earth Sect also had a large number of high-level martial arts skills textbooks. Not to mention how many intermediate-level textbooks were beyond high-level, which pushed the disciples' development to a terrifying speed.
"In a few days, I'll reach the frontier city and hope nothing will happen. Sigh… I don't feel comfortable; whenever I reach the destination, something is always going on!" Zheng-Fu said with a heavy brow furrowed as he thought about his past stories.
Wherever he went, there would always be problems. And this time, he felt a premonition that something was going to happen again. Therefore, Zheng-Fu decided not to stop at the frontier city if it was not necessary. Of course, he also had to hide Solo to avoid attention. But above all, it was his appearance.
He definitely would not use his real face because if he did that, there would be non-stop problems. And the face Zheng-Fu would use was the face of his wife's beloved elder brother, which he had used when he attended the auction in the past.
Two days later, at the entrance to the frontier city, the gateway to the Wild Land...
"Alright, pass!"
"The next one!"
"Pass!!!"
"Hurry up, the next one walks a little faster. There are still many people waiting in line!"
The sound of garrison sounded at the entrance of the city gate to check the immigration and collect the entrance fee. Zheng-Fu was now in line, and a few more queues would reach him. He had already changed his face and the outfit he was wearing. He was sure that no one would know his identity; only those from the Hell region would know.
"Stop... Why did you come to the frontier city?" asked the guard as it was Zheng-Fu's turn.
"I came here to transit to the Wild Land, sir. …And this is for your tea fee, sir!!!" Zheng-Fu replied humbly, handing over the fee and tea fee to that guard.
Blop!!!
"Ha ha ha, this guy really knows his job... Alright, let's go through!!!" the guard even grinned broadly upon hearing the humble words and tea fare that Zheng-Fu handed over before he easily let Zheng-Fu pass by.
"Thank you so much, sir!!!" Zheng-Fu clasped his hands as he thanked the guards and then walked comfortably past the frontier city checkpoint.
Half a shichen had passed...
"Wow... The city is so crowded. Plus, everyone is a cultivator. After that time, this place has really changed a lot!" Zheng-Fu said after he came inside the city and walked for half shichen and saw a lot of people walking along the various paths, including construction on both sides of the road.
This frontier city was considered to have grown exponentially because, within the city, there were all kinds of shops, including the elite to low-level taverns. There were armor and weapon shops, clothing shops, accessories stores, sex shops, and even auction houses. There were two auction houses in this city that were divided into two types.
The first auction house auctioned general items that were tangible and intangible. The second auction house was a slave or some weird monster beast auction house. Strange creatures were all auctioned here. And it was very interesting to Zheng-Fu because this was the first time he had seen an auction house like this.
"First, find a tavern and rest. It seems that many places in the city are worth seeing. Staying for a day wouldn't be a big deal, right?" At first, Zheng-Fu thought of passing through, but when he saw the city, he decided to stay for a day to visit the slave auction house before continuing.
After making his decision, Zheng-Fu headed toward a middle-class tavern to rest immediately. He asked the local people where there were middle-class taverns, so he knew that there were two middle-class taverns in this town. The first one was at the exit to the Wild Land, and the other one was not far from the mountain and also close to the slave auction house.
The slave auction house only had two auctions per day. That was in the morning and the afternoon. The afternoon auction was a more intense auction than the morning. Afternoon slaves were all elite goods, so the wealthy often participated during this period.
At the middle-class tavern...
Flap!!!
"Good day, Young Master. Are you here for a drink or a rest?" As soon as Zheng-Fu opened the door of the tavern, the waiter's welcome sound rang out as a gaunt little figure rushed over and stopped in front of him.
"Both of them." Zheng-Fu did not say much and only gave a short answer.
"Alright, sir. By the way, would you like a normal or special room, sir?" continued the waiter to ask about Zheng-Fu's room preferences.
"How is it different?"
"A normal room is just a normal room with everything. As for the special room, it's exactly as the name suggests, sir. And both rooms are private rooms. Which one will Young Master choose?" said the waiter, rubbing his hands with a smile.
"I prefer a normal room!" Zheng-Fu chose to stay in a normal room because he was a simple man. No matter what room he chose, the value was the same.
"Here's your room key, sir. The total rental cost is one thousand monster crystal coins per night, sir!" The waiter handed the room key to Zheng-Fu and told him the nightly price.
"Here are two thousand coins for two nights," Zheng-Fu extended his hand to take out the monster crystal coins from his dimensional ring and handed them over to the waiter. Then he continued, "Bring me a set of good food. Bring it to me in the room upstairs, and also some rice liqueur!" After saying that, Zheng-Fu immediately walked up to his room.
"I'll prepare them, Young Master!" As for the waiter, having received the money and food orders from Zheng-Fu, he accepted them and ran back into the kitchen to immediately order the chef to deliver the food to Zheng-Fu.
"Chief... today there's a big bait here!"
Suddenly, a thin young man's voice sounded from a dining table in a corner of the tavern.
After the owner of that voice saw Zheng-Fu take out the money from the dimensional ring, his face suddenly flashed an evil smile, turning to speak to a middle-aged man with a lustful face who was lifting a jar of liquor and sniffing like a crazy man until it spilled all over himself, then he rubbed his hand with a greedy expression.
