Chapter 1120: A Trouble
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Before they arrived at Gold and Power Market, the 16-lane main road in Xuanyuan Hill had started to be crowded, causing the vehicles to move at the turtle's speed.
Zhang Tie saw many people getting off their vehicles due to impatience and walking towards Gold and Power Market. He then asked the driver and learned that the Qian Gate 1 of Gold and Power Market was only over 2,000 m away from here. This was the most crowded section of the road outside Gold and Power Market. He then opened the door and got off the vehicle together with Bai Suxian while telling the driver to return to the manor. He and Bai Suxian would go there by foot.
"If I knew it was gonna be so crowded here, we would have chosen other gates. The other gates of Gold and Power Market are definitely not that crowded. I'm afraid that the greater part of people wants to enter Gold and Power Market through the Qian Gate for a good luck. Therefore, it's especially crowded here!" Bai Suxian complained.
"Hoho, it's just over 2,000 m. We can go there by foot!" Zhang Tie said casually.
"As you say!" Bai Suxian revealed a smile towards Zhang Tie as she went with Zhang Tie arm in arm. As a result, they aroused others' attention at the same time. As she was going to attend the Treasures Meeting with Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian looked more outstanding after dressing up herself delicately.
Gold and Power Market had 8 gates, which corresponded to the eight diagrams 2 of Hua people. The Qian Gate represented the heavens gate. According to the superstition, the Qian Gate would bring people good luck generally. Therefore, the gate outside the Qian Gate looked a bit crowded.
It was the 3rd day since the Treasures Meeting in Gold and Power Market started, also the most boisterous period of the entire Gold and Power Market; therefore, many people came here. Among those people who couldn't stand to get off their vehicles and walk towards the Qian Gate, Zhang Tie saw various skin colors, costumes and heard weird voices. Besides someone whom Zhang Tie was sure that they came from the Western Continent, there were some weird people that even Zhang Tie didn't know which subcontinents did they come from. All of them were walking towards the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market on the sidewalk.
After observing those people in strange clothes and voices carefully, Zhang Tie found that all of them had great battle strength. Most of them were above LV 13. Some of them were even knights. They kept looking at the scenaries on the roadsides and the vehicles coming and going with amazed, shocked and a bit restrained looks like rustics. Some minorities' eyes even contained a bit greed about the prosperity of Xuanyuan Hill. However, they all hid their greed meticulously. Taixia Country was so powerful that it could shatter all the foreign people's any ambition about this continent except for demons. Actually, according to Zhang Tie's knowledge, many major clans in Taixia Country were on the back of these subcontinents and dominated the vicissitudes of those countries on the subcontinents.
6 foreign people were walking in front of Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian. They were all tall and muscled all over in vests made of animal hides; especially the muscles on their naked arms which looked like hills. The front part of their heads was bald. There was a braid behind their head. Besides, there were some odd-looking bones on their braids and heavy weapons such as axes over their waists, which looked pretty fierce.
When the foreign people walked, they kept talking loudly. Two of them even rudely pointed at those buildings on the roadsides and some passers-by on the streets. The 6 foreign people almost blocked half of the sidewalk.
2 of the 6 people were black iron knights; one black iron knight was a bit elder with some grey hair; the other black iron knight looked a bit younger. The other 4 people were battle demons and battle spirits. Zhang Tie didn't understand what they were talking about. Such guys were as trivial as ants in Zhang Tie's eyes even the two knights. They could not even match chickens or dogs. Therefore, he just threw a glance at those rude guys before moving his eyes away.
As there were too many people on the sidewalk, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian just stayed 5-6 m behind the 6 foreign people and slowly approached the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market.
Although it was Zhang Tie's first time to visit the Gold and Power Market, Bai Suxian had come here for a few times. Therefore, Bai Suxian started to introduce Zhang Tie about Gold and Power Market cheerily.
Perhaps, Bai Suxian's voice was too silvery and pleasant to hear. After Bai Suxian spoke for less than 2 minutes, a foreign guy in front of her had turned around to look at Bai Suxian. At the sight of her, this foreign guy's copper-bell sized eyes instantly burned. Closely after that, he pointed at Bai Suxian and started to utter loudly; as a result, his partners and that younger black iron knight turned around at the same time.
At the sight of Bai Suxian, all the foreign people's eyes sparkled like how hungry wolves caught sight of a lamb. Their sounds grew louder. That young black iron knight even swallowed his saliva and licked his lips.
"Rude!" Bai Suxian uttered a cold harrumph at the sight of those foreign people as she tilted her head with a furious look. Zhang Tie also frowned slightly.
However, they were on the street of Xuanyuan Hill. She could not beat them and kill them because they looked at her for a short while and pointed at her with louder voices. Otherwise, others would criticize her bullying the weak. Therefore, Zhang Tie pinched her hand to warn her to not become impulsive.
As Zhang Tie was on her side, Bai Suxian just glared at those foreign people silently.
However, Bai Suxian was too beautiful and sexy. Even though she just glared at them, she still looked pretty seductive and coquettish. Not until the old black iron knight turned around and threw a glance at Bai Suxian and said something loudly did the other foreign people shut up and turn back unwillingly.
"Hurrumph, if it's in the south border, I will have people chop off their heads right away!" Bai Suxian said mercilessly.
"Forget about them. These guys might have not seen the world. Barbarians are uncivilized. It's normal for them to be rude! But I wonder how did so many foreign people enter the Gold and Power Market?"
"Most of the foreign people who come to Xuanyuan Hill during the Treasures Meeting from all the other continents and subcontinents should be invited by Gold and Power Law or some major clans in Taixia Country. Some of them are here to do business by trading treasures; some were here to see the world; some were invited by Gold and Power Law or those major clans for a trip so as to maintain their relationships. The major clans or big sects such as Gold and Power Law could dispatch an airship to a subcontinent to carry all their guests to the Gold and Power Market, which would not take them too much time on the way..."
"Wuh, I see!" Zhang Tie nodded. Bai Suxian's words reminded him indirectly that someone in Ice and Snow Wilderness might attend this Treasures Meeting.
'Theoretically, Ice and Snow Wilderness is not qualified to be invited. However, it depends. If those bears were invited by Golden Roc Bank, they might really come to Xuanyuan Hill to broaden their vision. I have a remote-sensing crystal necklace in my space-teleportation item which could be used to contact Ice and Snow Wilderness. Last time, I used it to contact Pontiff Sarlin and told him that I was safe in case they were worried about me when I had just been wanted by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country. I even told Pontiff Sarlin to not contact me unless it's necessary and keep my secret in case they were implicated. From then on, Pontiff Sarlin didn't contact me anymore.'
Sometimes, no news was the best news.
Bai Suxian's words reminded Zhang Tie to contact Pontiff Sarlin when he returned to the bedroom in the evening. As he had not met those people on Ice and Snow Wilderness for a long time, honestly, Zhang Tie missed them a bit.
...
Over 2,000 m's distance would not even cost commoners much time, not to mention Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian. They had already seen the high gate tower of the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market only after a few minutes.
The entire area of Gold and Power Market in Xuanyuan Hill was almost like that of an independent small city. The gate tower of Gold and Power Market was also especially high and magnificent.
As too many people wanted to enter Gold and Power Market from the Qian Gate, it became a bit crowded inside the Qian Gate.
As a result, a conflict was destined to happen.
After Zhang Tie promoted to an earth knight, he had been able to hide his qi casually. If not earth knights on the same realm, even though Zhang Tie didn't activate hiding skill in a normal state, commoners, even black iron knights could not see through Zhang Tie's real battle strength. Few people besides Zhang Tie could identify that he was an earth knight.
Bai Suxian dressed up herself delicately in a beautiful alchemist's necklace that Zhang Tie had not seen which might contain different attributes. One attribute of that necklace was to hide one's qi to a certain degree. After putting on it, Bai Suxian's qi was only like that of a LV 10 fighter.
Therefore, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian didn't feel that formidable.
When they gradually entered the Gold and Power Market, two of those foreign people who were walking in front of them suddenly exchanged a glance with each other before revealing a bit weird smile towards Bai Suxian's sexy figure. Closely after that, they pushed to Bai Suxian's side. One of them purposefully collided with one guy on his side as he thrust forward his belly towards Bai Suxian's butt...
