âIn the room,â Lan Ming said lightly. Alas! It was time for him to return to Windless City.
âDamn girl, you ran away pretty quickly,â Lan Tao said furiously. That girl took so much money from the elders of the Lan family and ran away without giving him any share as a partner. How infuriating!
âIâm going back to Windless City too.â Lan Ming left after bidding farewell to themâ¦
Half a month later.
Leng Ruoxue and the others finally arrived at Myriad Mountain City.
Leng Ruoxue and the others looked at the towering mountain range not far away standing at the foot of the mountain. There were three words engraved on the mountain peak, âMyriad Mountain Cityâ. They were abnormally excited.
âLass, these are all mountains! Where is the trace of a city?â Old Man Zao looked at the tall mountain in front of him and asked in puzzlement. Wasnât the Myriad Mountain City a city composed of mountains?
âHaha, wonât we know once we go in? Thereâs a small road into the mountain. Letâs go!â Leng Ruoxue pointed at the only entrance into Myriad Mountain City.
âOkay, letâs go in and take a look!â everyone said excitedly. The place recommended by the little old man shouldnât be bad.
Leng Ruoxue and the others walked along the small road and into Myriad Mountain City. They realized that even though Myriad Mountain City was composed of tens of thousands of tall mountains from the outside, but inside, the Myriad Mountain City was similar to an ordinary town. Similar shops stood in great numbers, and it was extraordinarily bustling!
However, both shops and inns were built at the foot of the mountain. In other words, the mountain above the shops and inns also belonged to their sphere of influence. It was indeed as the little old man said, almost all the businesses in Myriad Mountain City were in the hands of the five major forces because Leng Ruoxue and the others had seen the labels representing the five major forces the most along the way!
âDo you need a place to stay?â The waiter stopped Leng Ruoxue and the others and asked as they passed by an inn.
âThank you. We wonât stay in the inn,â Leng Ruoxue declined politely.
âAre you new to the city? Itâs getting dark. You will encounter bandits if you walk further in,â the waiter reminded them.
âAre there many bandits in Myriad Mountain City?â Old Man Zao asked curiously.
âOf course! There are at least 8,000 bandits in our Myriad Mountain City if not 10,000. There are so many that itâll scare you to death. I donât think youâre all that strong. Why donât you stay here for a night and find someone to be your partner in the morning tomorrow before walking in!â the waiter reminded very kindly.
âSince there are so many bandits in Myriad Mountain City, can staying here guarantee our safety?â Leng Ruoxue probed.
âOf course. Our inn is owned by the Ni family, which is ranked second among the five major forces. Those bandits wonât dare to come at all,â the waiter said with a face full of pride.
âIs that so? Please donât listen to him. This is the safest place in Myriad Mountain City. Those bandits wonât cause trouble here at all!â A tall middle-aged man with a full beard said.
âOh, I see,â Leng Ruoxue said with a spurious smile. In fact, they didnât intend to stay here even if the middle-aged man didnât remind them.
âDamn it, how dare you ruin our Ni familyâs business! You must be tired of living!â the waiter roared angrily. More than ten people ran out of the inn and surrounded the middle-aged man after he roaredâ¦
âAre they about to start fighting?â Leng Ruoxue asked with a face full of curiosity. Alas! These peopleâs tempers were really too bad. They actually wanted to start fighting after just two sentences!
âMove aside first. Iâll deal with you later!â the waiter in the inn roared fiercely.
âHehe, how do you intend to deal with us?â Old Man Zao asked curiously. He thought this person was not bad when the waiter reminded them just now! Why did he seem like a different person in such a short time? Uh! His attitude changed too quickly!
âHmph! You have to stay in this shop even if you donât want to!â the waiter roared with a fierce gaze.
âAh, so the second-largest inn owned by the Ni family is a black shop? I just found out today that there are actually people forcing others to stay in the shop,â Old Man Zao couldnât help but laugh.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThatâs right! The Ni family is too much. How can they force others to insist on staying here!â One of the spectators couldnât help but say.
âZhao Jun, this has nothing to do with you. Get lost,â the waiter scolded angrily when he saw the person speaking.
âWhat? Canât I speak on the Zhao familyâs territory?â The man named Zhao Jun couldnât help provoking. Then he deliberately jumped in front of his shop.
Upon hearing their conversation, Leng Ruoxue raised her head and looked at the shop behind Zhao Jun. It was also a guest shop, facing the inn where the waiter stopped them. It seemed that their two families should be rivals in Myriad Mountain City! She just didnât know that the Zhao family was ranked among the five major forces in Myriad Mountain City!
âAre you sure you want to fight me?â the middle-aged man surrounded by the waiter and the others said lightly.
âHmph! No one in Myriad Mountain City dares to ruin our Ni familyâs reputation!â the waiter roared furiously. He had already said it. Wouldnât he be laughed at to death if he didnât fight!
âAlas! Since you want to fight so much, Iâll fulfill your wish,â the middle-aged man said very reluctantly. Then the aura on his body changed as if he was a different person. The aura all over his body was released, causing pressure to rise instantly!
âErm⦠youâ¦â The waiter stammered, his legs trembling non-stop. He knew that he had kicked an iron plate today. This man, who looked a little sloppy, was not a pushover. Boohoo⦠What should he do? Who could save him!
âLittle Snowy, this man is a Mystic Supremacy,â Icy whispered as it lay in Leng Ruoxueâs arms. However, this man was not very strong. He should have just advanced to Mystic Supremacy not long ago.
âOh.â Leng Ruoxue looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. It seemed like one really couldnât judge a book by its cover! No one could tell that this man was a Mystic Supremacy just by looking at his appearance!
âSenior, please show mercy. Iâm willing to bring him to apologize if he was rude to you!â a young man suddenly said.
