Capítulo 2022: Chapter 2021: Super Vault
Yao Zhaoyu’s face changed color, he had thought these people would at least give him so respect, but he didn’t expect them to be so unfeeling.
He opened his paper fan, coldly shaking it as he addressed them, “I have already discussed with the Nine Clans, anyone who refuses to show face today, you may consider all business with us severed in the future!”
The crowd imdiately quieted down, as every major business in Celestial Realms City was connected to the Nine Clans in one way or another.
Yao Zhaoyu had spoken so plainly. If they continued to disobey, the Nine Clans would surely crush them in the future.
Soone led a cheer, “I support the young master, our Zhenlong Comrcial Firm will never deposit even a single Spirit Stone into Celestial Realms Spirit Bank!”
“Our Four Seas Comrcial Firm also stands with the young master, anyone who doesn’t will find their business with us cut off too!”
“We support the young master, to hell with the Spirit Bank, we just won’t go there.”
“Yes, anyone who goes is making trouble for our rchants’ association. We do whatever the young master says we should!”
“…”
The group quickly changed their tune, no one dared to challenge Yao Zhaoyu on the spot.
Yao Zhaoyu closed his fan with a smile and said, “Very good, our people are watching outside the Spirit Bank! I hope you all keep your word, lest we Nine Clans be mistaken!”
He rose and left gracefully, leaving the various rchants with faces full of gloom.
Besides them, other rchants’ associations in the taverns also received warnings from the Nine Clan’s Descendants.
No major force in Celestial Realms City could escape it.
Inside the Celestial Realms Spirit Bank, Jiang Hengshuo, dressed in a rchant’s fine clothing, stood at the entrance waiting for a long ti, not seeing a single major rchant arrive.
Small rchants deposited hundreds or thousands, which didn’t help much at all.
Soon, a crowd gathered in the square.
A line of carriages approached from afar, clearly from the palace judging by their specifications.
Jiang Hengshuo excitedly shouted inside the Spirit Bank, “The Emperor is here, the Emperor is here, everyone co out to greet the Emperor!”
The disciples newly recruited by the Outer Sect of Heaven-Piercing Palace all ran out excitedly.
Soon, the lead carriage ca and stopped.
Long Fei got down first, followed closely by Li Jinxuan, who reached out to help Zhang Ziling, dressed in a red phoenix-embroidered gown, out of the carriage.
The crowd of onlookers was already gathered there, and as soon as they saw Zhang Ziling, more people joined in, quietly discussing her excitedly.
“Is this the new Emperor?”
“So beautiful, who would’ve thought the old Emperor would pass the throne to his daughter!”
“She’s much stronger than the Prince, she swept through the cities leading the Hundred Thousand Cavalry, defeating the Demon Race, her might is spread even in our hotown!”
“I know, everyone calls her the White Garnt Dragon Horse War God!”
“…”
Soone led the chant, “We greet the Emperor!”
The crowd cupped their fists and bowed, “We greet the Emperor!”
In a mont, the shout spread throughout Central City, nearly a hundred thousand citizens respectfully bowing.
Zhang Ziling waved her hand with a gentle smile, “No need for such formality, today I am here to deposit money in the Celestial Realms Spirit Bank just like you, no need for restraints!”
The people exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
Jiang Hengshuo, wanting to attract others to deposit, had prepared tables and chairs outside for registration.
Zhang Ziling and Long Fei stepped up, taking out a Storage Ring and handing it to the clerk, “I’ll deposit ten billion Spirit Stones!”
Jiang Hengshuo’s voice was like it had been amplified, he excitedly shouted to the crowd, “The Emperor deposits ten billion!”
The crowd gasped, they had been a bit skeptical about the Spirit Bank, but didn’t expect the Emperor to deposit so much at once.
“Then I’ll deposit so too!”
Long Fei smiled and placed another Storage Ring on the table.
The staff asked, “Will the Great Marshal also deposit ten billion?”
Long Fei shook his head, “A hundred billion!”
The crowd’s ears were incredibly sharp, Jiang Hengshuo shouted loudly again, “The Great Marshal deposits one hundred billion!”
The crowd gasped in astonishnt, needing this to allow them to visualize what a hundred billion looked like.
Jiang Hengshuo ordered the Spirit Stones from Long Fei’s Storage Ring to be placed out, creating a white mountain on the plaza in front of the Spirit Bank.
“A hundred billion?”
“Is it really a hundred billion?”
“Oh my god!”
“The Great Marshal is truly wealthy!”
“Exactly, this is just a small sum. When the Great Marshal ran newspapers, he earned much more than this!”
“Oh my god! If the Great Marshal deposited this much, what does my ten thousand Spirit Stones count for, I’ll deposit too!”
“Let’s go, I’ll deposit too, it’s free money not to earn the interest!”
“…”
In an instant, tens of thousands of citizens crowded forward, lining up at the back to deposit.
Zhang Ziling and Long Fei chuckled and went inside the Spirit Bank for a tour.
Its layout resembled banks from Long Fei’s world, though its decor was more elaborate, with counters made from the finest redwood.
In front of the tellers, there were soft chairs to sit down.
There was also tea available, so visitors could have a drink while waiting to make their deposits.
The first floor lobby was square-shaped, with the entire building arranged like a grid.
The lobby alone had over a thousand counters forming a square in the center.
Each of the four sides was a waiting area, capable of accommodating over ten thousand people at once.
The upper floors housed different departnts of the Spirit Bank.
Zhang Ziling focused her tour on the Spirit Stone Vault in the back, which was still under construction.
The back courtyard was large, with fifty-ter high walls connecting to the row of Spirit Bank buildings in front.
The walls were manned day and night by elite guards.
The courtyard was planned out with gardens and pavilions, though it was currently barren, under full-scale construction.
At the center was a tower-shaped building.
The tower was ten ters tall, not particularly high in this world.
Zhang Ziling curiously asked Long Fei, “Are the Spirit Stones stored in this tower? With so many Spirit Stones here, is it really safe?”
Long Fei laughed, “Of course it’s safe, because the vault was designed by professionals, the most skilled thieves in Celestial Realms City.”
“Thieves?”
Zhang Ziling laughed, “You hired thieves to design the security?”
Long Fei calmly smiled, “Of course, if there’s a place they can’t break into, then that’s the safest place.”
As the two spoke, two individuals erged from the tower-shaped building, both looking slick and eccentric.
One was bald, the other had a big belly, imdiately bowing to the pair, “Greetings to the Emperor, greetings to the master!”
Long Fei smiled and asked, “How is the progress on the construction?”
“Almost done, just waiting for the master’s Magical Treasure to calm the residence!”
The Bald Dog chuckled, beckoning them with the Ground Rat Demon King to enter the tower.
Zhang Ziling looked around, the tower’s exterior was wood and stone, but inside it was all cast iron, and one complete structure.
The interior of the tower was hollow, covering a fifty-ter area.
It had two floors, luxuriously decorated with gold and jade.
The Bald Dog explained, “Below this tower is the Spatial Domain Gate to the underground vault, above is where experts reside. The Spatial Domain Gate is jointly opened by ten elders of the Spirit Bank’s upper echelon. Without all ten, entry is impossible.”
As he spoke, he produced ten circular tal keys, inserting each into the ground’s keyholes.
The restriction on the ground suddenly lit up, bringing them down into an empty underground vault.
Grinding his teeth in excitent, the Bald Dog introduced the place to Zhang Ziling, “This place was built by the skilled artisans from the Mo Family of Heaven-Piercing Palace. The tower may look simple, but once the master’s calming treasure is placed, it will be incredible.”
Zhang Ziling laughed, “What treasure is so mysterious?”
Long Fei chuckled, after reaching the underground vault, he quickly revealed the item to her.
It was none other than the formation diagram of the Ninth Heaven Exterminating Immortal Great Formation.
