Chapter 855: Dragon City Free Trade Zone

A day before this, he and Guo Mengqiao had investigated the woman. They even tested her ability from afar. They decided to do nothing after finding out that the extent of Yao Yu’s power was unfathomable. That was why no one would engage her in battle after she had been stirring up a commotion in Dragon City for so many days.
“Mo Wen is very young after all. It is inevitable that he is arrogant because he has such a high level of achievement at such a young age. Thankfully, we can still stop him from becoming involved in this matter. Since he is a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, we can’t sit idly by and do nothing about it. When the time comes, we should try our best to stop him. The ten day promise is just a verbal response,” Guo Mengqiao said.
According to what he knew, although Mo Wen had the combat ability of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, his actual cultivation was not yet at that level. It could only be said that he was exceptionally talented and had extremely powerful combat ability. However, against Yao Yu, relying just on this was somewhat insufficient.
“Rumor has it that this Mo Wen has been practicing alone all this while. He has had limited interaction with the outside world, so he is not very familiar with this world. He has joined the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall, but that only happened recently. Perhaps in his opinion, no one among his age is a match for him, hence he acts so recklessly. In short, he lacks experience,” the handsome youth exclaimed. If he was in Mo Wen’s position, he most likely would have behaved in the same way. However, this world was too vast and was far more complicated than Mo Wen imagined.
“Chou Tong, we can’t do much about Mo Wen. I guess the old fellows of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall will find an opportunity to test him. Right now, the most pressing matter is our investigation into Yao Yu. I fear that this woman’s personal information is of the highest rank in the Demon Gods Alliance, the SSSSS rank. It will be very difficult even for the Huatian Palace to investigate her exact identity.”
A look of suspicion flashed in Guo Mengqiao’s eyes. The Demon Gods Alliance was the pinnacle of the western world and was naturally a major concern for the Huatian Palace. Even in the Demon Gods Alliance, few could reach the highest level of confidentiality. Moreover, this woman was still so young. The Huatian Palace had to keep an eye on her.
“SSSSS rank! It is rather impossible,” Chou Tong exclaimed in surprise. In the Demon Gods Alliance, the level of confidentiality for the ordinary Divine Way strong practitioners was only S rank. What kind of concept was SSSSS rank?
“Based on our investigation so far, it is highly likely to the case.” Guo Mengqiao slowly looked at the enchanting woman in the square.
……
Mo Wen and Gong Biluo toured Dragon City. After they found out that it was similar to the cities of ancient times, they returned to the inn.
Mo Wen once again dismissed Tang Zhizhi. She had never seen an employer like this. He had hired her as a guide, yet he stayed in the inn every day. She had many suggestions and many places that she wanted to take Mo Wen to visit, but all her ideas seemed to be useless. This made Tang Zhizhi feel that she couldn’t demonstrate her worth. Thankfully, Mo Wen did not fire her.
Tang Zhizhi didn’t realize that with the beauty Gong Biluo around, Mo Wen had no spare time to go on visits.
In a quaint teahouse, two maidens sat beside the window, staring at the crowd passing to and fro on the street. The two maidens were Su Wan’er and Wang Qian from the Five Tigers Sect.
One of the maidens was resting her chin on one hand while staring blankly through the window. There was a letter in her hand.
“Wan’er, are you still thinking about Mo Wen?” Wang Qian asked helplessly as she stared at Wan’er, who was spaced out.
Since Mo Wen had left without bidding farewell, Wan’er was frequently in a daze like this. Wang Qian could not understand why Wan’er would prioritize this guy so much.
“Sister Wang Qian, in your opinion, why did Big Brother Mo leave without saying goodbye? Was he not used to the life in the Five Tigers Sect?” Wan’er asked with a frown.
Big Brother Mo left her a farewell letter. Then, he disappeared, leaving the small wooden house empty.
“He was not someone from the Taihang Mountains to begin with. He was also not a member of the Five Tigers Sect. Of course, he would leave,” Wang Qian replied. She did not feel strange about Mo Wen leaving. After all, Mo Wen was not a member of the Five Tigers Sect. It would be illogical for an outsider to stay in their sect permanently.
“But he had not fully recovered from his injuries. I am sure he had something to attend to, and that was why he left so abruptly.” Wan’er frowned and looked thoughtful.
“Then, you should just assume he has some matters to attend to. Everyone has their own business.”
“But what matter does he have?”
“Wan’er, when do you think the Sect Leader and the other elders will be back?” Wang Qian had no intention of continuing to discuss Mo Wen with Wan’er, so she changed the subject.
“I don’t know. They might not be back until late. I don’t know whether Sect Leader and the rest can make it back safely today. The Desolate Dragon World is too dangerous.”
Su Wan’er sighed softly. She had an anxious look in her eyes.
“Don’t worry. Sect Leader and the other sect grand elders are powerful. They will certainly be fine,” Wang Qian consoled her. However, she also had a somewhat worried look on her face.
The Desolate Dragon World was too dangerous. Yesterday, when Sect Grand Elder Wang He returned, he seemed to have suffered severe injuries. But the early the next morning, he went to the Desolate Dragon World again. Even if he knew that it was dangerous, he would never give up.
“If the Desolate Dragon World is so dangerous, why must they risk it and enter that place? Is it for the treasure there?” Su Wan’er could not understand. Could it be that treasure was more important than their lives? These past few days, she had listened to the conversations of the people in Dragon City and had heard that the Desolate Dragon World was very dangerous. Every year, during the Martial Arts Circle Convention, many ancient martial art practitioners died there.
“Wan’er, the Way of Practice is like this: if you retreat, you will never have the opportunity to advance. When you reach the realms of the sect grand elders, the Way of Practice is their only goal. Their whole lives have been dedicated to this single goal. Their lives are of secondary importance. It is impossible for anyone to become a strong practitioner without having experienced hardship,” Wang Qian explained in earnestness.
It was not without reason that the few sect grand elders could cultivate to the level of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. Although the Desolate Dragon World was dangerous, it was also filled with countless opportunities. If Wan’er’s cultivation and her own cultivation weren’t so low, she would also want to enter the Desolate Dragon World to take a look.
“I understand.” Wan’er nodded her head silently.
The Desolate Dragon World was a primeval place. Rumor had it that it had existed since ancient times. If one exited Dragon City and entered the primeval forest, they would be in the Desolate Dragon World. In reality, the Desolate Dragon World was the area encircled by the Ancient Divine Dragon, and Dragon City was at the top of the sky.
Every time the Martial Arts Circle Convention was held, a large number of experts from the martial art circles did not come to Dragon City for the event. Instead, they came for the Desolate Dragon World. The resources there were far more abundant than in any Inner world. There were countless treasures in it. If one’s luck was good and they came across a golden opportunity, it was very likely that they would hit the jackpot.
Even the ancient martial art practitioners from various large Inner worlds placed great importance on the Desolate Dragon World, let alone main space ancient martial art practitioners. At almost every Martial Arts Circle Convention, the various large sects would send special teams into the Desolate Dragon World to hunt for treasure.
Of course, although the Desolate Dragon World was rich in resources, it was equally full of peril. Opportunity and risk went hand in hand. After so many years, the number of powerful ancient martial art practitioners who died in the Desolate Dragon World was innumerable. Compared to the rest, the Five Tigers Sect was just a small sect. With their sect leader at the Embryonic Breathing Realm, they only dared to carry out their activities at the outermost reaches of the Desolate Dragon World. However, even so, they had encountered a few life and death situations.
“Sect Leader and the others brought back some demonic beasts that they hunted. These demonic beasts also have many treasures on them. Later, we will bring them to the Free Trade Zone to sell. The two of us can help out a bit,” Wang Qian said.
They could not enter the Desolate Dragon World, but they could help out the sect in handling the back end jobs. Most of the time, the chances of coming across treasures in the Desolate Dragon World were not high. Not everyone was lucky. Most of the time, the ancient martial art practitioners who entered the Desolate Dragon World would hunt rare demonic beasts and then sell them in Dragon City. After they received Dragon Coins, they would then purchase the things that they needed.
Of course, if their luck was okay, they might come across some stalks of spiritual medicine or a few crude ores that were quite valuable. These items could also be sold at a high price in Dragon City.
…
Early in the morning, Tang Zhizhi spread out a map before Mo Wen. She pointed at the map and highlighted some of the most interesting places in Dragon City. After being sent away by Mo Wen for two days, Tang Zhizhi decided to show her own value as a guide. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed to receive her pay of a spiritual stone a day.
Gong Biluo said that she would spend one day with Mo Wen, and she truly did just that. Early the next morning, she left. She also did not say what she was going to do, and Mo Wen did not ask. It was better to not know. If Gong Biluo wanted Mo Wen to know, she would definitely have told him.
However, Mo Wen could tell that Gong Biluo had definitely come to Dragon City this time for a particular reason. However, what matters could she be attending to? Mo Wen could not make head nor tail of it. Originally, he had thought that Gong Biluo had come to Dragon City to participate in the Three List Tournament, but in reality, that was not the case.
“Can I buy anything I want in the Free Trade Zone?” Mo Wen asked as he pointed at the Free Trade Zone on the map.
“In the Free Trade Zone set up by the Huatian Palace, you can find almost anything that you want. You can even find things that you did not think of. It can be said that everything and anything can be bought there. In theory, as long as you have enough money, you can buy anything you want,” Tang Zhizhi said. She had a look of pride in her eyes. What item did the Huatian Palace not have? As long as one could pay a sufficient price, even letting one become immortal immediately was possible.
“Then let’s head to this Free Trade Zone to take a look.” The corners of Mo Wen’s mouth curled into a look of interest. The Huatian Palace Free Trade Zone reminded him of the Huatian Palace Redemption main hall. Both served similar purposes. However, the latter used Contribution Credits whereas the former used spiritual stones or Dragon Coins.
“The Free Trade Zone will certainly not disappoint you. Not only is the Huatian Palace Trading Palace Hall there, but at the same time, there are also shops from the top merchants from various large Inner worlds. The items that are sold in Dragon City are some of the best.”
Tang Zhizhi smiled. She had finally played her role as a guide.
The Dragon City Free Trade Zone was situated in the east side of the city. It took up a huge piece of land. The rules of trade in it were very simple. Trade was done freely, and one could buy and sell. One could sell their own items and purchase any items that they needed.
