Bully the Weak and Fear the Strong! Worry-Free City

Hearing Elder Xu's cold voice, the two Black Dragon Guards, who held an exalted status in Black Dragon Immortal City, did not dare hesitate in the slightest and immediately stepped forward to activate the teleportation formation.

Black Dragon True Person had told them long ago that even if they offended someone from a Nascent Soul faction, they must never offend the manager of Horizon Restaurant.

Sensing the bloody stench drifting through the air, the Black Dragon Guards did not even dare ask for Spirit Stones.

However, Elder Xu still gave them the Spirit Stones.

Though Horizon Restaurant was powerful, it never broke the rules.

What should be paid was paid.

Besides, these few Spirit Stones were mere pocket change to Yan Ruyu or Elder Xu.

But it was different for the two Black Dragon Guards before them.

If they did not pay the Spirit Stones, the shortfall would have to be covered by the two of them.

Looking at the bag of Spirit Stones in his hand, the Black Dragon Guard activating the formation breathed a sigh of relief.

Traveling to Worry-Free Island cost five thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones per person. For three people, that was fifteen thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

The two brothers were only Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivators. Even if they pinched pennies and lived frugally for five years, they would not earn that many Spirit Stones.

After the three imposing figures teleported away,

a voice rang out from behind them. "Black Dragon Guard! What fine Black Dragon Guards you are! Just you wait! You actually let the people who killed Purple Cloud Sect Disciples go without authorization. When I return to the sect, I will definitely report this matter to Elder Zhao!

"You! You're finished!"

Hearing the voice behind him, the Black Dragon Guard clenched his fists tightly.

What a huge accusation to dump on his head!

Damn it!

They really bullied the weak and feared the strong!

Having gathered his strength, he suddenly spun around. His fist howled through the air as he smashed it into the Purple Cloud Sect Disciple's face.

The disciple's body immediately flew into the air, spun several times, and crashed viciously onto the ground.

His jaw was shattered outright.

It hung loose, swaying endlessly.

Blood and teeth scattered all over the ground.

Looking at the unconscious Purple Cloud Sect Disciple lying on the ground, the Black Dragon Guard sneered.

"You're fucking trash! Bullying the weak and fearing the strong!

"Why didn't you say anything when Elder Xu was here? Huh?!

"You wanted to pin that huge accusation on Laozi's head too!

"Do you really think Laozi is made of mud?!

"A bunch of blind fools! You actually dared speak so wildly to Master Yan!

"It was only because she was magnanimous. Otherwise, your Purple Cloud Sect would already be saying goodbye to this world!"

After speaking, he glanced at the Black Dragon Guard beside him. "A Jian, let's go! Report this matter to Young Master. The grudge between Horizon Restaurant and the Purple Cloud Sect has nothing to do with Black Dragon Immortal City!"

When the onlookers saw the Purple Cloud Sect Disciple, who had been swaggering and throwing his weight around before them, reduced to such a state, they immediately began whispering among themselves.

"Hahaha, satisfying! So damn satisfying! The other factions also inspected us, but their attitude was better than that of the Purple Cloud Sect by more than a hundredfold! These people should have gotten this long ago!"

"Isn't that so! I heard that if Purple Cloud Sect Disciples found anything good on you, they would even snatch it away directly. Now that he got beaten to death, it serves him right!"

"Pah! Things that only know how to bully others by relying on their power! Don't let Laozi live to see the day your Purple Cloud Sect falls!

"Otherwise, Laozi will dig up the ancestral graves of your entire eighteen generations!

"Fuck your mother!"

"He fucking deserved it!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Xuanchen had already arrived in Worry-Free City on Worry-Free Island.

According to rumors, Worry-Free Island lay within the East Sea Mist, and one had to pass through the Cloud Rainbow Bridge to enter the island.

However, that was only for Rogue Cultivators or disciples of small factions.

These people either could not bear to spend the money, or simply did not have enough spare Spirit Stones to use a teleportation formation.

Thus, if they wanted to come here, they could only risk getting lost and follow the map to Worry-Free Island.

Even so, cultivators still streamed endlessly through Worry-Free City, making it exceptionally bustling.

Zhang Xuanchen was not surprised to see so many cultivators.

After all, the East Sea Mist covered an enormous area. There were surely no shortage of cultivators venturing deep into the mist in search of treasure.

And Worry-Free City was the best supply station.

It would have been strange if there were few people.

None of that mattered. What mattered was that he had escaped the sphere of control of those major factions.

He was now completely safe.

With the Sky Dragon Secret Realm, an ownerless Secret Realm, drawing everyone's attention, the Purple Cloud Sect, Tianlan Sect, and the other major factions would certainly no longer focus on the matter of the Earth Core Fire Crystal.

He looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Sister Ruyu, Elder Xu, thank you for saving my life this time. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word. This junior will certainly do everything in his power!"

"It was a small matter. Just invent a few more cuisines for Horizon Restaurant in the future. There is no need to thank us so much.

"Also, before the major factions arrive, you should rent a few rooms here first so your Zhang Family members have somewhere to rest.

"Otherwise, once there are more people, you may not be able to rent any.

"Since this concerns the Secret Realm, the 'negotiations' between the human race and the East Sea Dragon Court will not end anytime soon."

The cost of using a teleportation formation was exorbitant, so it was only suitable for emergencies involving few people.

Otherwise, no one would choose to travel by teleportation formation every time they went out.

If one person needed five thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, ten people would need fifty thousand, and one hundred people would need five hundred thousand.

One thousand people would need five million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

When there was a large group of people and plenty of time, no one would waste so many Spirit Stones merely to hurry along the road.

Unless they were fools, or major figures like Yan Ruyu, who were so wealthy that they did not care about Spirit Stones.

Yes, a major figure.

In Zhang Xuanchen's eyes, Yan Ruyu deserved those three words.

"Sister Ruyu, how many people did my father send?"

Since Yan Ruyu had said such things, she surely knew news about the Zhang Family.

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's question, Yan Ruyu's lips curved upward slightly as she chuckled. "Your Zhang Family sent eighty-six people, led by the Zhang Family's Great Elder. They should arrive in Worry-Free City around tomorrow afternoon."

Zhang Xuanchen nodded. It seemed the family attached great importance to this Secret Realm.

They had actually sent eighty-six people here.

It was just uncertain how many of them would be able to enter.

After all, every Secret Realm had conditions for entry, especially an Inheritance Secret Realm like the Sky Dragon Secret Realm.

"Alright, Sister Ruyu. Save thirty Spirit Qi Guest Rooms for me tomorrow."

"Certainly. Three thousand Spirit Stones in total. Normally, when something like this happens, the lodging fees at the city's inns and restaurants would definitely multiply several times over. But since you call me Sister Ruyu, I'll charge you the normal price."

If they were merely ordinary rooms, they naturally could not cost one hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones per night.

But Horizon Restaurant's Spirit Qi Guest Rooms were enhanced by second-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays. The Spirit Qi was rich, and a First-grade Top-tier Spirit Meal would also be provided at night.

This Spirit Meal was greatly beneficial to cultivation and offered countless advantages.

So one hundred Spirit Stones was truly not expensive.

"Alright, thank you, Sister Ruyu."

As he spoke, Zhang Xuanchen took out eight thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Yan Ruyu. He could not let her cover the five thousand Spirit Stones for the teleportation fee.

After accepting the Spirit Stones, Yan Ruyu spoke again.

"There are many trading places in Worry-Free City, and many locally unique Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will appear there. You can wander around as you please. You definitely will not be disappointed. This sister will not disturb you any longer. See you at Horizon Restaurant."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two figures vanished before Zhang Xuanchen's eyes.

"Hey, wait, you... you still haven't told me where Horizon Restaurant is."

Zhang Xuanchen felt utterly helpless.

No surprises there—when he went to Horizon Restaurant later, he would have to ask for directions again with a grin plastered on his face.
