Chapter 396: Chapter 392: Discovered? (Asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)
The pupils of the Loose Cultivator gradually filled with the image of a fist, and within three breaths, Zhou Kun had blown him up completely, leaving no trace behind.
“An ant, daring to negotiate with a dragon, truly ignorant.”
Zhou Kun pulled out a handkerchief, wiped his fist, his face calm with a hint of satisfaction as he spoke.
Most of the Martial Artists present felt the air chill by dozens of degrees, and a shiver ran down their spines, calming their previously restless hearts.
“Haha, the three of you are the predetermined candidates of the Star Sect. It’s not unreasonable to demand thirty slots.”
“We at Star Comrce have three hundred people, and we want these slots.”
A seemingly middle-aged man stepped out, his cultivation at the Heavenly Rank Fourth Stage, making him one of the top superiors here.
Especially with the na of Star Comrce, no one dared to say a word. What is Star Comrce? The number one comrce in Star City, which Martial Artist would dare not give face? They likely didn’t wish to mingle in Star City anymore.
“Uncle Lei, thank you.”
“It seems our comrce’s trip to the Ten Thousand Mountains has yielded considerable harvest!”
“This ti, I’ve hunted many Demon Beasts, and brought back a whole bag. I’ll sell it to Star Comrce as soon as we return to Star City.”
Zhou Kun, the Young Master of the Zhou Family in Star City, bead with a brilliant smile, as forming a good relationship with Star Comrce was essential.
“Haha, no need to be polite, Mr. Zhou.”
“I assure the three of you, when you return to Star City, however many demon beast cores you have, we at Star Comrce will buy them all.”
“Twenty percent higher than usual, how about that?”
The leader of Star Comrce, known as Uncle Lei, laughed as he addressed Zhou Kun and his companions.
“Oh my God, twenty percent, Star Comrce is so generous.”
“Truly, an affluent comrce, impressive.”
Uncle Lei’s words detonated like a torpedo in Xiao He, drawing envious looks from nurous Martial Artists.
Ye Tian also looked at this group with great interest, sizing them up. He had heard the previous statents and wondered if gaining spots to the Star Cloud Path required competition now?
Dozens of cal cows and dozens of horned horses, the most common first-level demon beasts: large, strong, enduring, and easy to ta. They were staples for long caravans, but they ca at a high price.
So many cal cows and horned horses; only large forces like Star Comrce could afford them. Even dium-sized comrce would typically have only two or three cal cows and horned horses.
The people of Star Comrce included over a hundred strong n, all dressed in identical black leather armor, holding long knives, and with solemn expressions. Their cultivation was only at the Earth Rank first and second stages.
Another group of about twenty people was at the Earth Rank Fifth to Eighth Layer, led by a man around thirty years old at the Heavenly Rank Beginner Realm. These were likely the guard group of Star Comrce, its core strength.
Uncle Lei had the highest realm, at Heavenly Rank Fourth Stage. The other mbers were minor workers handling mundane tasks, but the whole entourage of Star Comrce was quite luxurious, and no bandit dared to provoke them.
Not long after, the thousand slots were almost full.
As expected, the slots held by Golden Snake, Gong Dao, and Zhou Kun were being sold, making a huge profit. One look at the agonized expressions of the Martial Artists told the story.
“Everyone, only ten slots remain. Distribute them among yourselves.”
“Good luck, goodbye.”
Zhou Kun led over nine hundred Martial Artists into the Star Cloud Path, speaking to the remaining Martial Artists.
“Miss, our chance has co.”
“Ten slots, we should try. There’s no one here stronger than you, and you have Sword Intent.”
Xiao Huan urged Ning Wei eagerly.
“Hmm??”
“Stay close, I’ll lead. I’ll give it a try.”
Ning Wei surveyed the surroundings, took a deep breath, her sword already tightly gripped, ready to spring into action.
“Look at that group; how many do you think will die for those ten slots?”
“Brother Zhou, this is quite an interest, hahaha, quite entertaining.”
“Why don’t we just watch them kill each other here?”
Zhou Kun and Gong Dao stood still, looking back at the entrance of the Star Cloud Path.
“Oh, you three are in good spirits. Mind if I join?”
“There’s no rush after all.”
Uncle Lei also joined them in watching Ning Wei and the others.
“Charge!!!”
“I want one of those ten slots.”
A swarm of Martial Artists rushed towards the Star Cloud Path, blades flashing; within a mont, a dozen Martial Artists had fallen to others’ swords.
In just a minute, more than half of those rushing forward had retreated; those without sufficient power knew better than to court death. Ning Wei guarded Xiao Huan and the others, moving deftly amidst the chaos.
“Oh, that woman, not bad, and quite beautiful.”
“You see, Brother Zhou?”
Zhou Kun noticed Ning Wei’s prowess, his eyes lit up with interest.
“What?? Mr. Zhou fancies that woman?”
“For a man of your stature, a word is all it takes. Offer her a slot and be the hero who saves her.”
“ntioning your Zhou Family na would have her readily in your arms.”
Gong Dao glanced coldly at Zhou Kun, licking his lips, eager to test Ning Wei’s Swordsmanship.
However, Uncle Lei, nearby, frowned, fixating on the white sack at her waist, as it emitted a familiar aura.
The more Uncle Lei looked, the more familiar it seed. He turned to a burly man behind him: “Have any of our young masters from Star Comrce co out recently?”
The man pondered for a bit: “Master Lei, our young masters should be preparing for the Star Sect assessnt, not venturing out.”
“Master Lei, why the sudden question?”
The burly man questioned, but a smaller, lower-cultivated Martial Artist holding a horned horse said: “Elder Brother, it seems the Fifth Young Master went to the Ten Thousand Mountains.”
“I saw Young Master Wuchen last ti, but he said he wanted to act alone, not wanting to be with us.”
The burly man was about to convey this to Uncle Lei exactly.
But seeing Uncle Lei now, he was stunned.
What did he see? Master Lei glaring at Ning Wei, fists clenched, nearly exploding with rage, suffocatingly intense!
Zhou Kun, Golden Snake, and Gong Dao sensed Master Lei’s imnse fury, puzzled. Zhou Kun whispered: “Uncle Lei, what’s going on?”
“Who angered you?”
