Chapter 2365
byThis Fan Xin from the Ice Heart Pavilion quickly got together with Ling Yinqin and was secretly communicating with each other through voice transmission.
Not long after, Ling Yinqin looked up at Yang Kai and said, “This Junior Sister Fan’s offer is very appropriate. I’m going to sell the things. What do you think？”
She asked this question, obviously just to put on a show for Fan Xin. Moreover, her cultivation level was one small level higher than Fan Xin’s, so it was okay to call her junior sister.
Fan Xin immediately looked at Yang Kai expectantly. She had been here for most of the day, but had not gained anything. At this moment, she finally saw a glimmer of hope. As long as Yang Kai nodded, she could receive a lot of things, so naturally she was very expected.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Then sell it.”
Fan Xin suddenly beamed with joy. “Thank you, senior sister and little brother. Don’t worry, our Ice Heart Pavilion has always been honest in business and will never suppress the price.”
Ling Yinqin said faintly, “I have long heard the great name of the Ice Heart Pavilion. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sold it to you.”
While speaking, the two of them quickly completed the transaction. Yang Kai quietly took a look and found that in addition to some source crystals, Fan Xin also gave Ling Yinqin some spirit pills.
After receiving the goods, Fan Xin was extremely happy and her attitude became even more enthusiastic. She said, “Little brother, if you have anything else to sell in the future, don’t forget about me. The price is negotiable.”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “No problem.”
“Let’s go.” Ling Yinqin greeted and led Yang Kai and Liu Xianyun forward.
After walking out of this noisy dock, the three of them stopped and stood in place waiting for the others to arrive.
About the time it takes to burn an incense stick, more than a dozen crew members had all returned, each with a beaming face and joy showing on their expressions. Obviously, they had reaped no small rewards. Moreover, the things they had just sold were only a tiny fraction of the harvest from this sea voyage, and there was still much more that had not been taken out.
The quantity of the one hundred thousand Azure Feather Corals was too large, and they had to be sold in batches. Youdaoplaceholder0, it was not suitable to trade here at the dock. Ling Yinqin planned to make plans after returning to Tongtian City.
Just the harvest from this single sea voyage was enough to ensure that they would not have to worry about food and drink in the next three years, and they could also change to a better place to live.
After walking for a short while, a huge city appeared in front. The city gate was also extremely huge, like the open mouth of a beast, ready to devour people. On top of the city gate, three big characters were engraved： Tongtian City！
At the city gate, there were martial artists guarding it. All passers-by, whether entering or exiting, had to pay a low-grade Source Crystal or something of corresponding value to be allowed to pass.
Seeing this, Yang Kai frowned.
Source Crystals were extremely precious in this Lonely Void Secret Realm. He had originally thought that as long as he had an identity plaque, he could freely enter and exit here but he didn’t expect that he still needed to pay Source Crystals. This one low-grade Source Crystal was nothing to him, but for those martial artists who had lived here for a long time but were poor and destitute it was no less than a considerable fortune.
There weren’t many people in front of the city gate. Besides the warriors who had just returned from the dock queuing up to enter the city, not a single person was leaving the city. It could be seen that the warriors in Tongtian City were also reluctant to spend that one source crystal to enter and exit at will. They would only do so when they needed to go to sea or had to leave the city.
Ling Yinqin and a dozen or so people in her group easily entered the city after paying more than a dozen source crystals and having their identity nameplates verified.
Yang Kai was originally a little worried that his identity as a newcomer would be exposed, but seeing that things were so simple, he knew he was overthinking.
After entering the city, it was actually a lively scene. There were an extremely large number of warriors in the city. There were shops lined up on both sides of the street, and the passing warriors were shoulder to shoulder and in an endless stream.
However, he quickly discovered some differences. That was, on both sides of the street, many warriors were sitting cross-legged, staring emptily ahead with wooden expressions.
The number of these warriors was not small. Regardless of their cultivation level, their auras were extremely weak. It seemed that they hadn’t cultivated for a long time. They just sat there without moving.
Not only that, there were also many people dressed as beggars on the street, constantly begging and bowing to the surroundings, but with few gains.
Yang Kai’s brows furrowed. He didn’t expect that the seemingly prosperous Tongtian City was actually so desolate inside.
“These are also pitiful people.” Ling Yinqin sighed. “They have run out of cultivation resources, their cultivation bases are decreasing day by day, and they have no ability to go to sea to search for things. Other than begging, they can only wait for death.”
After hearing her say this, Yang Kai finally understood why the street was in such a scene. Just seeing these after entering the city, who knew how many such people waiting for death there were in the entire Tongtian City？
“Is there really no way to leave here？” Yang Kai asked.
Ling Yinqin shook her head： “I have never heard of anyone successfully leaving here.”
Just as the two were talking, a furious shout suddenly came from not far away： “Little thief, how dare you rob me！”
The shout spreads out, and immediately following the crowd not far away was in an uproar and the sound of fighting could be heard intermittently.
Yang Kai released his spiritual thoughts and immediately detected what had happened over there. It seemed that a martial artist had been robbed. The robbed martial artist had a cultivation base of the first level of the Dao Source Realm, while the person who robbed him was only at the second level of the Void King Realm. Not only was his cultivation base much weaker than the other party, but his aura was also extremely weak, and he might not even be able to exert the strength of the first level of the Void King Realm.
This kind of suicidal behavior would definitely not happen outside, but it seemed very normal in this Tongtian City.
With two consecutive banging sounds, the robber was directly killed on the spot, and the owner retrieved his spatial ring. The martial artist at the first level of Dao Source Realm was about to say some harsh words when suddenly countless people with wooden expressions surged over from both sides of the street. These guys originally had empty eyes, but now their eyes were bloodshot, and each of them was staring at the martial artist’s spatial ring, vying for it continuously.
Even though the owner of the spatial ring was at the first level of the Dao Source Realm, it was a case of one hand being no match for four. Although he exerted his strength and killed several people, no one backed down, and soon he was submerged by the crowd.
Swish swish…
Just when these people were engaged in a fierce struggle, two figures suddenly descended from the sky. These two people were full of momentum, wearing black tight-fitting clothes, and looking at the fight in front of them with a sarcastic and cold expression, but they had no intention of stopping it.
“These are the people from the Law Enforcement Team of Tongtian City, “Jiao Yi softly explained beside Yang Kai.
“Don’t they care？” Yang Kai asked in surprise, thinking that since they were the Law Enforcement Team, they should naturally maintain the peace of the city. Why did they remain indifferent when the brawl was happening right in front of them？
Jiao Yi sneered and said, “Just watch and you’ll know.”
Pengpeng, two more robbers were sent flying by the owner of the ring. But this person also seemed a bit exhausted. Although his situation was better than those who were waiting to die and begging, after coming to this Tongtian Island, his cultivation had also dropped severely. He simply couldn’t display the strength of the Dao Source Realm. At this moment, he was already scarred and exhausted.
He raised his head and happened to see the two law enforcement officers in black robes. He hurriedly shouted, “Two adults, help! These people are lawless and actually rob in broad daylight. Please two adults uphold justice!”
The two law enforcement officers didn’t move at all when they heard this, only watching coldly.
The owner of the ring shouted again, “Two adults, please take action. I am willing to pay half of the things in the space ring as a reward！”
One of the law enforcement officers sneered when he heard this and said, “Only half？”
The owner of the ring gritted his teeth and said with a bitter face, “All for the two adults…”
He knew that if he didn’t get rescued again, he was afraid that he would really be killed by these lawless people. Compared with his own life, what else mattered？
The two law enforcement officers then walked forward lazily. The person who had spoken before snorted and said, Since you are so sensible, then we will give you a hand.
As the words fell, the two of them took action simultaneously. Their attacks were extremely fierce. Amidst the surging of energy, they directly blasted those robbers flying. In mid-air, countless people were killed or injured, and the air was instantly filled with a thick bloody smell.
As soon as the two of them made a move, the martial artists around fell silent in an instant. The robbers who survived by chance also immediately scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to stay here any longer.
Only the robbed martial artist was left on the ground, lying there covered in blood, looking extremely sorry.
The law enforcement officers walked over, reached out and made a gesture, and sucked his space ring into the palm of their hands. After a divine sense inspection, they frowned and spat: “Poor bastard!” There are only so few things.”
After speaking, they even spat on the martial artist in disgust and swaggered away.
“This person can only wait for death in the future.” Jiao Yi sighed.
This robbed martial artist probably didn’t have much property in the first place. Now that he has even lost his space ring, unless he can quickly find the fleet and follow them out to sea, otherwise he will definitely end up like those who robbed them, sitting here waiting for death.
“It is so chaotic here.” Yang Kai’s face sank.
Ling Yinqin said, “Under desperate circumstances, people will do anything. These people are also pushed to the brink.”
Yang Kai remained silent, knowing that what Ling Yinqin said was reasonable.
Those robbers are already waiting to die. What else in this world can make them afraid？ However, what makes Yang Kai somewhat unbelievable is that the law enforcement officers in this Tongtian City are also so dirty.
Just now, that scene, to put it nicely, is called adding insult to injury and taking advantage of kindness to seek rewards. To put it bluntly, it is robbery.
Judging from this, Tongtian City is simply a place without the rule of law. It’s hard for Ling Yinqin and others to have lived here for so long.
“This is the outer city area, which is relatively more chaotic. The inner city area is relatively safe and these things won’t happen.” Ling Yinqin explained.
“Then do you live in the outer city or the inner city？” Yang Kai asked.
Jiao Yi replied： “The outer city, but we can move to the inner city in a few days.”
They had a good harvest this time, enough to rent a good cave mansion in the inner city. Although the consumption in the inner city is generally a bit more expensive, it has the advantage of being safe, so some efforts are still worthwhile.
Ling Yinqin said： “Senior Brother Yang, since you just arrived, it’s best to rent a cave mansion first and get familiar with this place slowly.”
“I also have this plan.” Yang Kai nodded. He also doesn’t know how long he will stay on this Tongtian Island and always needs a place to stay.
