Necropolis Immortal

Chapter 2186.1: Red Spider Lily, Hell Flower

Lu Yun’s expression remained the same as it was—he’d seen more than his fair share of similar situations. Long Aotian, however, flushed beet red and was beside himself with fury.

“You’re an absolute piece of motherfucking shit! I risked my life to scoop that Purplestar Silver out from the Jade Ice Lake in Fallen Leaf Mountain. When did it come from your hands?!” Long Aotian couldn't help but roar.

“Jade Ice Lake?” Lu Yun quirked an eyebrow when he heard the name.

“Jade Ice Lake? Can a puny mid foundation establishment cultivator like you enter the lake?” sneered the steward. “In contrast, latter foundation establishment cultivators stand a chance of making it out alive if they try.”

He looked at Lu Yun when he finished speaking. Being initial nascent soul, the steward could easily tell that the young man was initial golden core. However, this level of cultivator would still find it very dangerous if they ventured into Jade Ice Lake. Not to mention, Lu Yun was plainly dressed like a noble scion. A pampered young master like him would never risk his life in the lake.

Thus, the steward was much more willing to believe that this master and servant duo had robbed his men.

“This young gentleman is quite courageous to seize treasure that belongs to the Trading Company of the Four Seas. Return it with haste and I’ll take your youth into account. All that needs to occur for this matter to end is the crippling of your cultivation.” Greed shone in the old man’s eyes as a sardonic curve played on his lips.

They would have the Purplestar Silver no matter what. Since his three men said that it came from them, it was the perfect pretext for taking it. Purplestar Silver was priceless in fourth rank empires. It was premier refinement material that stood a high chance of turning a paramount rank spirit weapon into a dao weapon.

There was a master refiner in residence at the trading company. If supplied with Purplestar Silver, it was very likely that the faction would gain a dao weapon for themselves.

“Cripple my cultivation?” Lu Yun sneered to himself, but maintained a genteel smile. “Heh heh heh, I’d love to hear from the crowd. Would I, a vaunted golden core cultivator, not think to cover my tracks and kill all of them after taking treasure from some useless foundation establishment cultivators?”

The crowd began murmuring among themselves, but no one dared say anything in front of the eminent Trading Company of the Four Seas. This was the foremost trading company within Dark Orchid and its background stretched to the fifth rank cultivation empires. There was more than one soul projection cultivator among their ranks.

“Hmph, you tried killing us, but we three are subordinate to the Trading Company of the Four Seas and naturally have some lifesaving measures. You couldn’t manage to take us out!” The latter foundation establishment cultivator looked proudly at Lu Yun.

“You mean… I’m unable to kill you guys?” The young man’s smile deepened.

Standing next to Lu Yun, Long Aotian shuddered when he saw the expression. He’d seen this smile three times already, each followed by a bloody slaughter.

The grand steward of the Trading Company of the Four Seas? He might be a prominent figure in Boulder Rise City, but more nascent soul powerhouses than could be counted had already died to Lu Yun’s hands.

Long Aotian swallowed hard. What’d occurred in Fallen Leaf had already made its way to Boulder Rise. What might this grand steward think if he knew that the bloodthirsty demon of Fallen Leaf was the seemingly harmless young man in front of him?

“Hmph!” the steward snorted coldly. He’d seen too many noble scions like this young man. Their cultivation was the result of pills and medicines. Although the young man was of the golden core level, he could at most manage to bully those weaker than him. If he met someone of the same level, there was only a beating in store for him.

Pfft pfft pfft!

Red light flashed in front of the grand steward as three heads shot into the air. The three foundation establishment cultivators that’d been jeering their opponent flopped over as headless bodies.

“Aiya! I’m so sorry, my deepest apologies! I didn’t mean to! I just wanted to see if I could kill you guys… It looks like I can!” Lu Yun looked at the steward with a look of exaggerated horror. “Senior, I—I really didn’t think that I could kill three foundation establishment experts. I really didn’t do it on purpose!”

His acting skills were so bad and his words so ludicrous that they were a hefty slap across the steward’s face. As ridiculous as the scene was, no one could find it in them to laugh. The young man had been smiling gently at them moments ago, but killed three people in the blink of an eye! Was he a demon?

“How dare you kill those from the Trading Company of the Four Seas?!” Livid, the nascent soul grand steward’s eyes nearly spat fire. He was about to take action when someone gasped in the crowd.

“It’s him! He’s the young man wanted by the Black Tortoises of Fallen Leaf!” yelled a terrified man in gray. “He’s the one who destroyed the Darkwater Gang overnight and killed more than sixty Black Tortoise disciples. He killed the sect leader’s dao partner!”

“That’s right, it’s him! I saw him kill the Darkwater Gang leader with two kicks that day. Ying Xuanshui was a nascent soul powerhouse!”

“They say that the Black Tortoises sent a thousand disciples to capture him. They battled in Fallen Leaf Mountain and leveled everything within fifty kilometers. So he’s still alive!”

“No wonder the Black Tortoises still have an outstanding bounty for him!”

“The bounty’s three million paramount rank spirit stones for his head! Even information of his whereabouts or other clues will fetch one hundred thousand!”

Many cultivators looked at Lu Yun with eyes of greed, like they were seeing mounds of spirit stones.

“Three million paramount rank stones?” Lu Yun licked his lips. Was his head worth that much?

Three million was an incredible sum! The sum total of what he’d taken from the Ouyang trading company was just nearly one million. Here the Black Tortoises were, offering three of the Ouyang trading company for his head. It would tempt even soul projection powerhouses.

It felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped over the steward of the Four Seas, however. Killing a mid nascent soul powerhouse with two kicks? He was a joke to the young man!

He turned tail and ran without another word, entering the trading company. The building’s defensive formation activated with a rumble—they lacked the courage to even face Lu Yun head-on.

As strong as the trading company was, they didn’t have many troops in tiny Boulder Rise. There was only one latter nascent soul elder in residence. They were renowned throughout the fourth rank empires, after all. No one dared cause trouble at one of the trading company’s branches.

“How could I possibly stop here after finding the inner core of the blackwater snake? You provoked me first and I’m not a saint, so why should I let you off the hook?” Lu Yun sneered at the formation. “A third rank defensive formation of earth giving rise to metal?”

Pale green light flashed from his hand and he pointed at the earth element in the formation’s core essence. Connate yi wood condensed to an imperceptible seed that sank into the formation. It quickly germinated and absorbed all of the earth energy within the formation. Lacking a fundamental part of its support, the metal energy within the formation quickly collapsed.

The third rank formation fell apart in less than half a breath.

“Come with me,” Lu Yun called out to Long Aotian and entered the trading company structure.

Currently, its customers were gathered in the first floor lobby while associates collected all of its treasures in an orderly fashion, ready to transfer them elsewhere.

“A brat wet behind the ears has all of you running scared. What an utter joke!” Contempt crossed the face of a twenty-eight year old man. Dressed in opulent upper qi rank robes, he watched the busy associates with boredom.

There were quite a few factions present in the lobby as well as cultivators with impressive backgrounds. They looked down their noses at the trading company’s actions, finding them a gross overreaction.

A loud bang sounded the next second—a sound that a crude porcelain object would make when broken. Sunlight filtered into the lobby as the front doors were kicked open.

“What?! Our defensive formation was broken?!” The grand steward trembled like a leaf to see Lu Yun and Long Aotian walk in.

There was a branch of the Trading Company of the Four Seas in Fallen Leaf City. Thus, the branch in Boulder Rise was well aware of what’d taken place in Fallen Leaf. Although there was a latter nascent soul elder holding down the fort in Boulder Rise, he knew that he was no match for Lu Yun. He himself could fend off Ying Xuanshui, but he couldn’t kick the other to death with two moves!

One could visualize the entire animal when looking at the single spot of a leopard.

Winds of change billowed through Jade Ruins Realm these days as countless Great Xia experts surged in. In return, the incomparably mysterious Great Xia Dynasty was no longer the mystifying unknown in some people’s eyes.
