558: Chapter 558 Asura Spear

Fang Bai remembered that during the struggle for the source vein in the Xuanxing Continent, he had killed a merchant.

The president of the Ancient Merchant Guild, Yun Yi.

Before he died, the other party told him that his brother was in the Law Enforcement Team of the Star Domain Alliance.

It just so happened that the fellow was named Yun Qi; it was likely him.

However, he didn't take it to heart.

Fei Qianqiu led Fang Bai straight to the Alliance Main Hall.

Upon arrival, Fang Bai was slightly shocked.

It had to be said that this Star Domain Alliance was truly grand, living up to its reputation as an alliance formed by dozens of star domains.

Fei Qianqiu looked at Fang Bai and said, "You can move around freely within the Alliance. There's a test coming up soon; if you're interested, you can go take a look."

Hearing this, Fang Bai nodded slightly. "Alright."

The Sword Saint chuckled and said, "I have a bit much on my plate. I'll arrange for someone to show you around."

"Thank you for the trouble, Senior."

Fang Bai gave a slight bow.

The Sword Saint nodded and then turned, vanishing from sight.

Soon, an old man appeared. He gave Fang Bai a slight bow. "Young Master Fang, I am Qiu Shan, an elder of the Dragon Imperial Hall."

Fang Bai said politely, "Elder Qiu."

This Elder Qiu was a Tenth Order Late Stage cultivator; his strength was not weak.

The Alliance's foundation was very strong; any random elder could start their own sect in the outer star domains.

Elder Qiu sized him up and then smiled. "Young Master Fang is indeed quite striking."

Fang Bai: "..."

A moment later, Fang Bai followed Elder Qiu as they strolled through the Alliance.

Since he was a new face and accompanied by an elder of the Dragon Imperial Hall, he attracted many gazes.

Many people thought Fang Bai was some second-generation descendant of the Dragon Imperial Hall.

"There are cities here too?" Fang Bai was somewhat curious.

Elder Qiu smiled. "Naturally. Although the Alliance is composed of various star domains, it still has a basic operating model. After all, it's not just cultivators who make up the group, but ordinary people as well."

Fang Bai nodded.

"Is the currency of your alliance source crystals?"

Elder Qiu nodded. "Correct, but those are only used among cultivators. Ordinary people still use Alliance Coins."

As he spoke, he opened his palm, and a golden coin appeared.

Fang Bai looked at it curiously and then nodded.

Qiu Shan smiled. "Young Master Fang is a newcomer. If you want to exchange for these Alliance Coins, you can use source crystals. The exchange rate is one to one hundred."

Fang Bai nodded. "Thank you for letting me know."

The two continued their stroll.

During this time, Elder Qiu sized up Fang Bai with curiosity. He only knew that a newcomer had arrived at the Alliance and that he should make an effort to befriend him, but he didn't know which power the other party belonged to.

After all, newcomers arrived at the Alliance every day, but only this young man before him had been personally escorted by the Hall Master.

Extraordinary!

After observing, Qiu Shan felt even more that Fang Bai was not simple. What shocked him was that he was actually unable to see through the other's strength!

This... was outrageous!

He had cultivated for over a thousand years, yet he couldn't see through a youngster!

Either the other party was a second-generation descendant with low strength but a heaven-defying background, or their strength was far superior to his!

Although the former possibility was more convincing, Qiu Shan was certain it was the latter!

A monster!

Someone valued by the Sword Saint was naturally a monster!

Such a genius must be befriended!

As Fang Bai passed a stall, the owner's shouting reached him.

"Little brother, come take a look! I have all kinds of treasures here!"

"A feather from the chief of the Bird Clan. Its edge comes with its own killing intent and can easily slay any living being below the Tenth Rank. Only a hundred source crystals."

"The skull of a Longling Monkey. Crushed and made into medicine, it can prolong life. Valued at ninety-nine source crystals."

"And there's even the bellyband of Fairy Qianye from the Bailing Star Domain... valued at three hundred source crystals."

...

Fang Bai stopped and looked at the pale pink bellyband with a strange expression. "What is that?"

The stall owner gave a lewd smile. "I have a friend who is a certain flower-stealing thief. He went through immense hardship and even lost a leg to steal this treasure!"

Fang Bai's mouth twitched.

Damn! Stealing someone's bellyband? Truly a pervert!

And he's selling it so damn expensive!

As expected, unscrupulous merchants exist regardless of race.

"The Bailing Star Domain ranks in the top ten among all star domains. You actually managed to get your hands on something like this?" Elder Qiu was also quite surprised.

"Hehe, just a stroke of luck, a stroke of luck."

The stall owner scratched his head with a humble look.

Fang Bai shifted his gaze from the items and looked at the stall owner, only to realize the other party actually possessed Tenth Rank strength.

Not simple.

The stall owner grinned. "Does Your Excellency have any items in mind?"

Fang Bai shook his head. "No thanks, I don't need anything for now."

Hearing this, the stall owner looked around like a thief and then whispered, "If Your Excellency wants treasures, I have quite a few here, all worth over ten thousand!"

Fang Bai was somewhat surprised. "Oh?"

Qiu Shan looked at the stall owner with a strange gaze.

The stall owner glanced at Qiu Shan and said with a smile, "The fact that I can enter the Alliance should prove I have no hostility toward it, right?"

He knew the old man before him was an elder of the Alliance's Dragon Imperial Hall.

So he gave a warning beforehand.

Qiu Shan pondered for a moment and then said, "As long as it doesn't affect the Alliance, it's fine."

The stall owner nodded with a smile. "That's good."

After saying that, he moved toward Fang Bai—more of a hop than a walk, as one of the man's legs was missing.

Fang Bai: "..."

The classic 'I have a friend'.

The stall owner sized up Fang Bai and then smiled. "Little friend, you don't look like a local."

Fang Bai smiled without saying a word.

The stall owner didn't waste words; the storage ring on his finger flashed, and a long spear appeared in his hand.

As soon as this long spear appeared, even Qiu Shan was somewhat moved.

A hum resonated from the spear's body, causing many people to look over.

Their gazes were curious and burning.

A treasure!

Fang Bai looked at the long spear, somewhat surprised.

Because this spear was actually a taboo artifact.

Not only that, but he also felt a sharp killing intent emanating from it.

It had slain countless enemies!

The stall owner smiled and said, "This spear is named the asura spear. It's a high-grade taboo artifact, just a step away from breaking through to a quasi-saint artifact. Unfortunately, its master has fallen, so it can no longer gather more baleful qi."

"asura spear?!"

Elder Qiu exclaimed with a shocked expression.

Fang Bai glanced at him. "Elder Qiu, do you recognize this spear?"

Elder Qiu nodded. "While this spear isn't top-tier, its owner was extremely famous—the Star Domain Lord of the Rakshasa Star Domain. The Rakshasa Star Domain was of medium strength, and it became famous because... that Star Domain Lord slaughtered every living being in the entire star domain!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Fang Bai was somewhat shocked.

Slaughtered an entire star domain?

Holy crap? He's even more of a killer than me!

At least he had only wiped out the Demon Race; this guy took out all the races?

Elder Qiu said slowly, "That guy wanted to make this spear break through to a quasi-saint artifact, but he was later wanted and killed. However, the spear vanished into thin air."

Elder Qiu spoke slowly, then looked at the lame stall owner with a complicated gaze.

This person's background is not ordinary!
