890: arrival

After Xu Yun finished speaking, Wang Chen raised an eyebrow.

Sure enough, this was related to Zhao Tianci’s death!

But a transaction?

This was something Wang Chen had not expected.

And it was the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground, Qing Yunzi, who took the initiative to propose it.

However, Wang Chen had no complaints about this.

After all, he had used the power of the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground, Qing Yunzi, and even killed one of his True Disciples, so he was somewhat in the wrong in this matter.

Since he had already gained the benefits, Wang Chen was happy to pay some price for a transaction, as Qing Yunzi was a top expert among the Netherworld Human Clan, and Xuantian Holy Land was the most powerful force.

Peaceful coexistence would only bring more benefits and facilitate his future actions in the Netherworld.

It’s just that…

“Bai Yuliang is quite bold to change the meeting location; isn’t he afraid of Qing Yunzi’s displeasure?”

Wang Chen pondered, his approval of Bai Yuliang’s character growing.

By choosing to meet in Wanshou City instead of Xuantian Holy Land, Bai Yuliang had clearly considered his fallback if he did not accept the transaction.

After all, if they met in Xuantian Holy Land, once Wang Chen refused, he would have to directly face a Peak ninth-stage expert and the power of a Holy Land.

That was something he could not contend with, even with his current strength.

“Then, Xu Elder, could you tell me what exactly the transaction proposed by your Holy Land’s Grand Elder is?”

With a plan in mind, Wang Chen looked at Xu Yun and asked.

Hearing this, Xu Yun was silent for a moment, then spoke with some hesitation in his voice:

“The Grand Elder wishes to ask you, True Lord, to remove a malignant tumor for my Xuantian Holy Land.”

“What exactly does this malignant tumor refer to?”

Wang Chen frowned.

“The current President of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, Vast Treasure True Lord, who is at the Middle Stage of the ninth-stage!”

Xu Yun pursed his lips and said each word distinctly.

“Who?”

Wang Chen was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Xu Yun with a strange expression.

He had expected the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground to propose a difficult transaction, perhaps even asking him to hand over a large sum of wealth.

But he had not expected the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground to ask him to kill someone, and that person was Vast Treasure True Lord, the President of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

What’s going on?

Isn’t this Vast Treasure True Lord one of Xuantian Holy Land’s own people?

Wang Chen’s gaze fell on Xu Yun, suspecting that he was joking with him.

The death of Zhao Tianci was nothing to Xuantian Holy Land.

But the death of a ninth-stage Middle Stage Vast Treasure True Lord was different.

The premise for Wang Chen to agree to Qing Yunzi’s transaction was to sever the Karma of using the other party’s power to achieve his goal.

Killing Vast Treasure True Lord would completely make him irreconcilable with Xuantian Holy Land!

“Xu Elder, are you sure this is a request from your Holy Land’s Grand Elder, and not Bai Shengzi trying to eliminate dissidents?”

Looking at Xu Yun, Wang Chen asked with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

He couldn’t help but think this way, after all, Vast Treasure True Lord was Zhao Tianci’s father and belonged to Bai Yuliang’s opposition within Xuantian Holy Land.

Vast Treasure True Lord had a strong say in whether Bai Yuliang could secure the position of Saint and even become the Holy Lord in the future.

If Vast Treasure True Lord’s death benefited anyone the most, it would undoubtedly be Bai Yuliang.

This couldn’t help but make Wang Chen suspect that Bai Yuliang was falsely conveying a “holy decree.”

“True Lord, you misunderstand; the Saint absolutely has no such thoughts.”

Hearing this, Xu Yun immediately panicked and quickly explained:

“This is indeed a request personally put forward by the Grand Elder, and absolutely not the Saint falsely using his prestige. As for why the request is like this, I truly do not know.”

“The Grand Elder’s strength is unfathomable, and his thoughts are beyond our ability to guess.”

“I was just making a reasonable suspicion; you don’t need to be so nervous.”

Looking at the terrified Xu Yun, Wang Chen shook his head and said.

Although he suspected that Bai Yuliang was falsely conveying a “holy decree,” he also knew that the probability was very small.

Eliminating a competitor and then being targeted by the most powerful Grand Elder in the Holy Land.

No normal person would choose this option; it’s not how you court death.

It’s just that…

“Why does Qing Yunzi want to kill Vast Treasure True Lord? Isn’t this cutting off his own arm!”

Seeing Xu Yun’s terrified expression, Wang Chen could only suppress his doubts.

To figure it out, he probably needed Qing Yunzi to explain it himself.

…

…

Wanshou City.

It is located at the junction of the central and eastern regions of the Netherworld, right next to the Canglan River, which spans tens of thousands of miles from north to south.

Even standing on the flying boat at an altitude of three hundred meters, Wang Chen could still see this behemoth located on the banks of the Canglan River from afar.

Wanshou City can definitely be said to be the largest city Wang Chen had seen since coming to the Netherworld.

Its area was comparable to even the top-ranked metropolises on Blue Star.

Its city walls were nearly a hundred meters high, and their length seemed endless at a glance; rather than a city, it was more like a nation enveloped by city walls.

“Wang True Lord, ahead is Wanshou City. It guards the connecting passage between the central and eastern regions and is the most prosperous city in the entire Netherworld.”

“This city was built by my Xuantian Holy Land and is jointly overseen by various forces from the eastern and central regions, with a permanent population of over twenty million.”

On the flying boat, Xu Yun saw Wang Chen staring at Wanshou City and couldn’t help but start introducing it to him, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Hearing this, Wang Chen smiled.

There were more than a dozen cities of this size on Blue Star, and he was already used to them, and the permanent population in these cities was several, even ten times, that of Wanshou City.

Xu Yun’s showing off was truly casting pearls before swine.

However, compared to Wang Chen, Xuanqing Snake King, standing on the other side, gaped, staring dumbfounded at the scene before him.

“This is truly a magnificent structure!”

Such a huge city was truly the first Xuanqing Snake King had ever seen, and it had never even appeared in his Bloodline Legacy memories.

Before seeing Wanshou City, Xuanqing Snake King had always thought that the Dead Spirit Race’s Blade City was already large enough, and there would rarely be a city larger than Blade City.

But the Wanshou City before him was more than ten times the size of Blade City.

This left Xuanqing Snake King deeply shaken and at a loss for words to describe it.

Beside him, noticing Xuanqing Snake King’s gaffe, a trace of pride flashed in Xu Yun’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it, not showing any unusual expression on his face.

Although Xuanqing Snake King had been cultivating in seclusion on the flying boat these past few days, mastering his newly advanced power, his advancement time was still short, and he couldn’t fully control it. The faint ninth-stage pressure he occasionally emitted made Xu Yun feel an extremely strong sense of oppression.

“Wang True Lord, we will land in the Holy Land’s area in the eastern part of Wanshou City. The Saint has already prepared a banquet in advance to welcome your esteemed presence.”

Seeing that Wang Chen was not interested in Wanshou City, Xu Yun gave up the idea of introducing it and began to talk about the upcoming arrangements.

Wang Chen naturally had no objections to this, and soon the flying boat landed in Wanshou City.
