C477 - Bei Zhou City
Whoosh!
The moment the box was opened, a beautiful ray of light burst out from within the box.
The light was so intense that it was hard for one to open eyes. However, Su Yun didn’t seem to be affected at all, because in the instant the box was opened, the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment had already been activated. A faint layer of air wrapped around his body tightly, and even light could hardly seep in.
Su Yun looked into the box and saw that there was no hidden weapon in the box, only a square piece of red crystal …
"This item is called the ‘True Red Devil Crystal’, a creation from the True Devil Realm. It was obtained by the head of the Gu family through a special channel, and it is treasures used to embed on magic treasures. Once it is successfully fused with a magic treasure, its power will seep into the magic treasure and turn it into a gramary treasure. This force of absorption would automatically activate itself, drawing out the profound energy from the other party’s body and infusing it into one’s own body! That is to say, with this item, no matter which spirit expert, they will easily stand in an invincible position! "
Gu Gangzhen said in a low voice.
As soon as he said this, Huairou Muyu and Su Yun were completely shocked.
Adsorption power? Furthermore, it was drawing profound energy? What kind of terrifying and magical thing was this?
If he had this item, it could really make an ordinary magic treasure into a divine item.
Su Yun felt his heart palpitate. No wonder Gu Gangzhen was repeatedly attacked. With such a treasure, it should be strange if he was not killed by those cultivators.
“It is indeed a treasure.”
Huairou Muyu sighed with emotion. If such a thing was placed in the hands of her Huairou Merchant Guild, it would probably become the major treasure.
“Miss, do you think it’s good? Sigh, it’s a pity that this kind of thing has to be given to someone else after all.”
Gu Gangzhen sighed and said.
“Who exactly needs this item?” Huairou Muyu asked.
Gu Gangzhen hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, “Actually, it is a great character. Our Gu family does not plan to sell it, and we want to keep it. When our Gu family produces a peerless genius and spread this thing around, we will have him bring glory to our Gu family. Unfortunately, we don’t know who leaked the information of this treasure and caused our Gu family to suffer frequent attacks. In the end, it attracted that big shot. After that big shot knew that we had this item, he immediately requested using Profound Coins to exchange for it. We were afraid of the power of that big shot, so we had no choice but to sell this item to that person.”
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you let that important person come to the Gu family to get it himself?” Huairou Muyu asked.
“It was said that that important person sustained injuries and recuperated in the Yang Dao city, so he asked us to send it over. However, even if he was injured, he could destroy our Gu family without blowing up the dust.” Gu Gangzhen said.
Hearing this, Su Yun suddenly thought of Ye Moxian’s family. Wasn’t the Ye Family exterminated by a big character? But this time, the Gu family was lucky. This guy really knew how to buy with profound coins. If he didn’t want to, the Gu family would probably follow the fate of the Ye Family.
A man was innocent, but a treasure would make his sinful. In the Ultimate Martial World, the reason why minor characters were only minor characters was because they couldn’t withstand much power.
Huairou Muyu glanced at Su Yun, and Su Yun lightly nodded at her. Huairou Muyu turned around and nodded at Gu Gangzhen, saying, “I understand. Young master Gu, I’m very sorry. Please forgive Muyu’s previous rudeness. Muyu shouldn’t have doubted you.”
“Businessmen should be more cautious. If Miss Huairou accepts me in one go, it would feel weird.” Gu Gangzhen waved his hand and laughed. The fat on his face trembled.
“Young master Gu, please take a seat. Allow Muyu to pour some tea for you.” Huairou Muyu said as she poured a cup of fragrant tea for Gu Gangzhen.
“Speaking of which, how much did that big shot offer?”
At that moment, Su Yun took out the blood-red cube from the box, and looked at it carefully before asking.
“I don’t know yet. The one he talked to was my father.” Gu Gangzhen said.
Su Yun nodded, put the red cube back, and didn’t ask anymore.
After Gu Gangzhen finished his tea, he immediately left the carriage.
As she watched Gu Gangzhen leave, Huairou Muyu heaved a sigh of relief.
“It seems like he really is someone from the Gu family, there’s no need to doubt him.”
“I can’t be so sure.” Su Yun rubbed his chin and thought, “It’s actually very easy to make up a story. We don’t know whether or not the red cube has the effect that he talked about. After all, it’s impossible for us to insert the stone into the magic treasure to monitor it, so we can’t completely trust Gu Gangzhen. At least we have to be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I’m prepared.” Huairou Muyu said softly.
Su Yun was stunned, “Prepared? What preparation?”
However, Huairou Muyu were silently shaking her head.
This woman had learned to keep a low profile.
Su Yun didn’t ask any further.
The group continued to move forward calmly. On the way, there were no more twists and turns. Because they were flying at extremely high speed and it was very difficult to encounter anyone in the endless sky. Some of the rogue cultivators would pass by the carriages, but when they saw that it was the Huairou family’s carriage, most of them would take a detour.
After thirteen days of traveling, they finally arrived Bei Zhou City which at the main gate of Bei Yang.
Bei Zhou City was slightly smaller in size compared to Wu Ye City, but the prosperity of this place wasn’t any less. The Liuye Family had been operating here for years without any results. In addition, this place was on the main road leading to the Bei Yang Region. There were many Spirit cultivators here, and countless experts. It was no wonder that fighting strength of 7000 was not rare here; after all, to enter the Bei Yang Region, one had to have fighting strength of over 7000. The existences of this place were not something that the people of Wu Ye City and Lu Xin City could compare to.
Even Huairou Muyu’s fighting strength had not reached 7000, the Spirit Cultivators in the city still had to give her face. The Huairou Family had quite a bit of influence in Bei Yang, especially after they obtained Bei Zhou city.
At this moment, outside the city gates of Bei Zhou.
Huairou Muyu had ordered her people to land early. Although with her status, she could fly above Bei Zhou City, she still chose to enter through the main gate for the sake of the public’s hearts. Flying over spirit cultivators’ head was an act of disrespect.
Huairou Muyu walked out of the carriage and stood prettily in front of it, gazing at the Bei Zhou City. She looked at the crowd of people walking in and out of the entrance, and a gratified expression appeared on her pretty face.
“With Bei Zhou city, there will definitely be a bigger market.”
“That’s right, Miss. We’ve finally arrived at Bei Zhou City.” The serving maid Xiao Yin said with a smile.
Huairou Muyu nodded her head and frowned. “Why didn’t butler Mu send someone to pick up the carriage?”
When Xiao Yin heard this, she immediately took a few glances at the door. She did not see any sign of the Huairou Family members, and she was instantly felt strange.
“There are several doors in Bei Zhou City. Perhaps butler Mu had forgotten and decided to receive us outside other doors.”
Ye Moxian said from the side.
“Maybe. However, since we’re in Bei Zhou City, there’s no need to think too much about it. Let’s all go in.” Huairou Muyu was stunned.
However, just as everyone was about to enter the city, Gu Gangzhen ran over and stopped in front of Huairou Muyu’s carriage. He clasped his hands together and said, “Miss Huairou, since we have arrived at Bei Zhou City, I hope that Miss Huairou can lend me your guard temporarily to deliver this item to Yang Dao City.”
“I promised you, I would do it.” Huairou Muyu nodded. She then picked out two-thirds of her guards and borrowed them to Gu Gangzhen.
There were many experts from the Huairou Family within the city, so she didn’t have to worry about them.
Gu Gangzhen was overjoyed. He immediately led the men to left.
Seeing that Gu Gangzhen had left as expected, Huairou Muyu no longer had any doubts about him. After all, he had already left, so how could they still have any doubts?
The carriage slowly drove into Bei Zhou City and Ye Moxian rode the white horse ahead. He looked left and right as though he was paying attention to the chaos. The carriage followed.
“This is the first time we’re here, but butler Mu didn’t send anyone to fetch us. The Bei Zhou city is so big, I wonder where Huairou’s residence is?”
Huairou Muyu lifted the curtain, looked at the scenery outside, and said softly.
Su Yun didn’t say anything and looked at Ye Moxian with doubt in his eyes.
He seemed to be very familiar with the road, actually leading the carriage forward.
Did Ye Moxian know where Huairou’s residence was?
Su Yun was very curious.
However, what surprised him was that after a while, the carriage did arrived in front of the Huairou Family’s residence in the Bei Zhou City.
The mansion was huge, located in the middle of the city, with a huge signboard hung on the entrance. Glowing golden words were written on the signboard, Huairou.
However, at this moment, the door of the mansion was tightly shut, and there was only a single guard standing at the entrance.
When the guard saw that the carriage had arrived, he immediately knelt down on one knee. A moment later, the door opened and a few servants and maids ran out, kneeling to welcome the arrival of Huairou Muyu.
“I didn’t think that I would just walk around blindly and arrive at the mansion.” Ye Moxian smiled and said, “My sister, it’s a long journey, hurry and come into the mansion.”
“En!”
Huairou Muyu walked out of the carriage and nodded slightly. She looked at the servants at the entrance and asked with slight confusion, “Why haven’t we seen butler Mu yet?”
“Perhaps it’s as I thought, butler Mu only went to the wrong door!”
Ye Moxian laughed.
“That shouldn’t be the case. If I were butler Mu, I would have arranged servants in front of every door. If we were to enter through this door, butler Mu would have received the news immediately and would have come to wait outside the gate …”
Thinking up to here, Huairou Muyu suddenly felt that something was amiss.
However, before she could think about it, a big hand grabbed her arm and pulled her over.
“Su Yun?” Huairou Muyu was shocked. When she saw the hand’s owner clearly, she didn’t resist. But at this moment, she was extremely angry. “What are you trying to do?”
“Cut the crap, let’s go! Ye Moxian is going to attack you!”
Su Yun roared.
“What?”
Huairou Muyu were stunned. Before they could think anymore, they saw the pedestrians on the street surrounding the mansion taking out their magic treasures and surrounding the two of them!
