Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 165 City Lord
Inside the Pingding Commercial Bank warehouse.

Wang Xiu looked at the spacious environment around him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that this place, which looked ordinary on the outside and was seemingly just a temporary business warehouse, actually had a whole new world inside.

“Haha, our Pingding Commercial Company has been rooted in Wufeng City for hundreds of years, so we still have some strength.” The plump shopkeeper smiled upon seeing this, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Wang Xiu nodded upon hearing this.

Indeed, the closer a place is to the city gate, the more precious it is.

Being able to own such a large piece of land close to the city gate, this flat-top trading company is indeed quite powerful.

Wow!
Wang Xiu waved his hand lightly, and a hill of wild beast materials instantly appeared on the ground.

"Shopkeeper Donglai, here are all my wild beast materials. Please count them." Wang Xiu chuckled.

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper Donglai couldn't wait to step forward and start counting.

It can be seen that Shopkeeper Donglai is very skilled in his business.

Each wild beast material stayed in his hand for less than a second, and then was accurately placed in different places.

Even so, it still took Shopkeeper Donglai nearly half an hour to count Wang Xiu's wild beast materials.

After a long time, Shopkeeper Donglai slowly stopped what he was doing.

The wild beast materials that were originally piled up like a mountain have been accurately divided into different categories by him and placed together in different categories.

"Dear guest, among these wild beast materials just now, there are 162 sky-level wild beasts and 53 cloud-level wild beasts." Shopkeeper Donglai's expression now looks much more respectful.

Originally, the shopkeeper of Donglai thought that Wang Xiu was just a young master who had just started out in a big family.

But unexpectedly, among the pile of monster materials given by Wang Xiu, there were actually a large number of Yunxiao-level wild beast materials!

You know, in their Wufeng City, not everyone can hunt down the cloud-level wild beasts.

Only a Yunxiao-level warrior can hunt down a Yunxiao-level wild beast.

In Wufeng City, the Yunxiao level is already considered to be a strong one.

Above the Yunxiao level is the Domain level.

In Wufeng City, there is only one domain-level person in public, and that is their city lord.

In addition, there are the Yunxiao-level strongmen.

The Yunxiao class who was able to hunt down so many Yunxiao class wild beasts in one breath was undoubtedly a strong one among the Yunxiao class.

Maybe even... it's at the domain level.

Although it is not clear why a Yunxiao-level or even suspected domain-level existence would come to such a simple purchasing point outside the city to sell wild beast materials.

But now Shopkeeper Donglai only knows one thing, and that is that he must be respectful.

Otherwise, if he was killed, his boss probably wouldn't say anything and might even extend an olive branch to the other party!
Thinking of this, Donglai the shopkeeper secretly swallowed his saliva, and then said carefully: "Sir, although there are many high-level wild beast materials, some of them... are missing or not processed perfectly, so the price may... have to be discounted."

Wang Xiu glanced at the other person and said nothing.

The other person is right.

Although he had relevant information provided by the Virtual Universe Company, this information could not be complete.

Otherwise, the experience would be meaningless.

Therefore, when Wang Xiu was dealing with these wild beast materials, he was using his experience of hunting monsters on Earth, so there were bound to be omissions.

Seeing that Wang Xiu did not respond, Donglai Shopkeeper swallowed his saliva again and gritted his teeth and said:
"Sir, overall, I can give you 362 big bucks and 543 medium bucks with these materials!"

"More than three hundred dollars?" Wang Xiu asked doubtfully.

The coins in the Xueluo world are all in the shape of knife coins, divided into small knife coins (red, referred to as small coins), medium knife coins (black, referred to as medium coins), large knife coins (green, referred to as big coins), and above that, there are The most precious purple knife coin (referred to as treasure coin).

1 medium coin is worth 1000 small coins.

1 big coin is worth 1000 medium coins.

1 treasure coin is worth 1000 yuan.

Normal city dwellers can spend less than thirty coins a day.

And one big buck is equivalent to one million small bucks!

These more than three hundred big coins are definitely a huge sum of money for ordinary people.

But it’s normal to think about it, among the wild beast materials provided by Wang Xiu, there are many cosmic-level wild beast materials.

Ordinary people cannot deal with so many cosmic beasts.

"Yes, dear guest." Donglai shopkeeper thought Wang Xiu was dissatisfied. After a brief hesitation, he took the initiative to say, "If the guest is dissatisfied, the price can still be negotiated."

"No need." Wang Xiu glanced at the other party and waved his hand, "This is the price."

Anyway, Wang Xiu doesn’t expect to make money from this, and the money in Xueluo Continent can only be used within Xueluo Continent.

Once you leave Xueluo Continent, you will be nothing more than a piece of waste paper.

What Wang Xiu wants is Blood Luo Crystal!

As for money? That was just Wang Xiu's disguise for a better integration into the Xueluo Continent.

Just get enough for your needs.

"Okay, guest." Donglai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and led Wang Xiu to a bright and clean reception room. "Please take a rest here. I will send someone to get the money."

……

After a while.

"Take care, sir. Welcome back!" said Donglai, the shopkeeper, with a smile outside the warehouse of Pingding Commercial Bank.

Wang Xiu waved his hand casually and walked towards the city gate.

Shopkeeper Donglai stood in front of the warehouse door and only breathed a sigh of relief after watching Wang Xiu enter the city.

"It seems that a new Yunxiao-level expert has appeared. There are more than fifty wild beasts, and it seems that they were all hunted recently. Well... I have to tell the boss."

The shopkeeper Donglai stood there and thought for a while, then waved behind him, and immediately a young servant came forward.

"Boss, what do you want me to do for you?" the young servant asked respectfully.

"Go back to the city right now and find the boss." Shopkeeper Donglai said seriously, "Just tell them that a distinguished guest sold a batch of Yunxiao-level wild beast materials here today."

"Take this." Donglai handed a list of wild beast materials to the servant and said, "Give this to the boss, and the boss will know it."

"Yes, I understand." The young servant did not doubt him and immediately took the list and ran towards the city.

……

Wang Xiu naturally had no idea about what the Donglai shopkeeper was doing.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

With his strength, his life would be in no danger unless he encountered an immortal.

Even if he encounters a realm master, Wang Xiu is confident that he can save his life.

As long as he can hold on for a moment, Wang Xiu will be able to take out the Tianjian.

As long as he enters the Tianjian, the Realm Master will be unable to do anything to him.

But it won’t work if you encounter immortality.

The absolute strength is too great. In front of the Immortal, Wang Xiu may not even be able to take out the Heavenly Sword.

……

Wufeng City covers a very large area.

After Wang Xiu entered the city, he walked for a full hour before he reached his destination.

Feiyun Pavilion, the most luxurious accommodation in Wufeng City, covers an area of ​​more than ten kilometers in diameter, which is much larger than some county towns on Earth. The interior has beautiful scenery and can accommodate nearly 50 guests. There is an endless flow of people coming and going every day. A large number of people from the Wufeng territory enter the city, making the business here very good.

There are hundreds of reception staff in the reception building of Feiyun Pavilion.

"Accommodation." Wang Xiu said, looking at a petite girl wearing black fur inside.

"We have earth level, sky level, and cloud level. I wonder which level you want to live in? As for the price, it's hung on the wall over there." The petite girl in fur said with a smile.

"Cloud level." Wang Xiu said indifferently.

"Cloud Level Room 3, accommodation is three big bucks per day." The girl inside said with a smile.

Wang Xiu casually took out a purple knife coin and threw it on the table, causing the girl to immediately pick it up and start registering for Wang Xiu.

In this most luxurious Feiyun Pavilion, the most luxurious accommodation room, the "Cloud Level", requires three big coins a day, which is equivalent to 300 million small coins. It is not affordable for ordinary people.

Wang Xiu didn't care about the so-called money in the Xueluo world at all. He certainly didn't care about the money for accommodation and just spent it as needed.

Don't let yourself be wronged.

"Sir, this way."

A handsome young man dressed as a servant led the way respectfully.

What appeared before Wang Xiu's eyes was a quiet three-story pavilion with a garden and a pond.

On the stone tablet outside the courtyard of this pavilion there is the handwriting of "Yun, 892".

"Not bad." Wang Xiu watched it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, then sat on the chair in the living room and looked at the servant in front of him.

"Please tell me whatever you want, sir. I will serve you while you stay in Feiyun Pavilion." The young servant said respectfully.

"Okay, go down." Wang Xiu waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, the young servant immediately retreated respectfully.

He originally wanted to get some information from the young servant, but gave up after thinking it over.

According to what he knew, the person with the greatest hope of obtaining the Blood Crystal in Wufeng City was none other than the City Lord of Wufeng City.

And his original target was also the Lord of Wufeng City.

The City Lord's Mansion is right there, located in the very center of the entire Wufeng City. It is extremely conspicuous and there is no need to explore it at all.

Moreover, asking rashly may easily expose flaws.

Although Wang Xiu was not afraid, he had a mission to accomplish after all.

After all, Wang Xiu is not a native of the Xueluo world. If his identity is exposed, he can only end the mission early.

If the mission fails, the points lost will be small.

The loss of Xue Luojing is the greatest!

This mission is the only chance for Wang Xiu to legally and reasonably obtain a large amount of Blood Crystal for free.

After passing this village, there is no such shop.

Even if he breaks through to become an immortal, a venerable, or even the Lord of the Universe in the future, he will have to pay a price to obtain the Blood Crystal.

Nothing is as good as something that comes for free!
In order to realize his goal of making money, Wang Xiu must be extremely careful!
Wang Xiu stood up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, silently thinking about his next plan.

As the core of Wufeng City, the City Lord's Mansion is naturally well defended.

However, Wang Xiu had a very high level of understanding of the laws of the origin of space. Although the City Lord of Wufeng City was a Domain Lord, the guards responsible for guarding the City Lord’s Mansion were not Domain Lords.

Most of them are only at stellar level, and as for cosmic level, there are only one or two at most.

Sneaking into the City Lord’s Mansion was not a problem for Wang Xiu.

"Although there is not much information, we can go there at night to see what the other party's strength is."

"Maybe it can be solved directly."

……

Late at night.

Wang Xiu stood in the quiet room of his residence, wearing black armor, combat boots, and a helmet, with his mask down! He also carried a shadow gold knife on his back.

"City Lord Yu Xingyi is at the Domain Lord level. His specific strength is unknown. He has fused with Blood Luo Crystal." Wang Xiu thought to himself, "Although I am far superior to him in terms of domain and law, he is at the Domain Lord level after all. I must not be careless."

"This time, let's go and see if there's an opportunity. If there's an opportunity, we'll take action. If there's no opportunity, we'll have to find out the other party's strength."

A hint of fighting spirit appeared on Wang Xiu's lips, and then his body disappeared silently in the pavilion.

……

The City Lord's Mansion of Wufeng City is majestic and solemn.

A ghostly phantom was even harder to detect in the darkness, and it quickly approached the city lord "Yu Xingyi", who was the strongest person in the city lord's mansion.

Of course, he disdains to use Yunxiao-level (cosmic-level) and Sky-level (stellar-level) men as bodyguards.

Those guards were only outside the City Lord's Mansion, and most of them were used to protect the family of the City Lord Yu Xingyi.

"With my knowledge of the laws of space origin, I can definitely carry out a silent assassination!"

"I'm not afraid of a head-on confrontation, but that would cause too much noise. It would be great if I could resolve it through assassination." Wang Xiuyao looked at the palace in the distance. He could vaguely feel a powerful aura through his perception of the universe.

"That should be Yu Xingyi's aura." Wang Xiu thought to himself, "This aura is probably at the initial stage of Domain Lord. We can give it a try."

Whoosh!
Wang Xiu, holding the shadow-gold knife, disappeared in an instant.

……

In the palace.

The tall and burly Yu Xingyi was sitting at the desk, on which was piled a lot of intelligence information.

"Tsk..." Yu Xingyi looked at the information in his hand, shook his head and frowned, "Is there a powerful Yunxiao-level master who has just appeared in the city?"

"You took out more than fifty Cloud-level wild beast materials in one go. Hmm... you are quite capable."

"But... that's it."

"Let's continue observing."

"Hmm?" Yu Xingyi's sensitive perception of heaven and earth made him feel a trace of aura, and he immediately shouted angrily, "Who!!!"

Boom!

With Yu Xingyi as the center, countless lightning bolts spread out in all directions, strangely passing through the palace without damaging it at all, and instantly forming a huge ball of lightning within a kilometer around it.

Some soldiers, servants, and maids were terrified, but found that the lightning did not hurt them at all. However, they still ran towards the huge ball of lightning in fear.

"call out!"

A flash of sword light instantly lit up in the palace, and it was like a giant sickle that chopped directly towards Yu Xingyi. Only then could everyone vaguely see a warrior covered in black armor waving a sword.

"roll!"

Yu Xingyi roared, and a purple hammer instantly appeared in his hand, which he smashed down with a loud bang.

Snapped!
Lightning containing terrible thunder power struck directly and blasted the black-armored figure away, while the violent energy shot in all directions like countless arrows, and suddenly the entire palace exploded with a loud bang.

Yu Xingyi's eyes flashed with cold light, and he held a purple sledgehammer in each hand, and rushed out directly in the collapsed palace!

"Third level Domain Lord, ninth level Domain, crossing the threshold of the Lightning Law." Wang Xiu's figure changed as he flew backwards, and he landed lightly. "What a pity, I was not very skilled in assassination for the first time, and he discovered my presence in advance."

There was a look of regret on Wang Xiu's face.

Yu Xingyi, who had chased after him, saw that the strange black-armored figure had not changed in a single breath and had no injuries on his body after being hit by his full force. His face changed involuntarily: "Who are you?"

"What brings you here so late at night?"
