337: Wind Three

Kase Qi looked at Xu Qing with a stunned expression.

The Heavenly Lake area was protected by a Restriction, and only those with the Kase Family Bloodline could enter. Yet, they unexpectedly saw Xu Qing, a stranger, here.

Although he didn't know what Race Xu Qing belonged to, he was definitely not from the Behemoth Clan. This was why he was surprised and angry, and why he reprimanded him.

Xu Qing turned his head to look at Kase Qi and the others, and a strange light suddenly flickered in his eyes.

In an instant, Kase Qi and the others became dazed, easily controlled by Xu Qing.

Soon, Xu Qing probed their minds and found what he was looking for.

"Kase Heaven Realm, Kase Family?"

Then Xu Qing's figure vanished. Kase Qi and the others, who had been dazed, instantly regained consciousness. They quickly released their Emperor Realm spiritual sense but couldn't find Xu Qing's figure.

"It was a Supreme Expert!"

Kase Qi said with lingering fear. Although he couldn't guess Xu Qing's true Cultivation, the mystery he displayed was even more powerful than the Elders of their Clan.

"What happened today, it's best to keep it to yourselves!"

Kase Qi said to his younger siblings with a grim expression.

He didn't know why such a powerful being would appear here, but he knew that for such an existence, crushing them was as simple as crushing an ant.

"Understood, Seventh Brother!"

The other Kase Royal Family princes and princesses were not fools; they knew that some things should not be spoken of outside.

At the same time, Xu Qing had already left Mount Locke. The Secret Realm's Restriction couldn't stop him at all.

After becoming a Dao Lord, his speed was incredibly fast. In just a blink of an eye, he crossed thousands of states and appeared in a massive city.

This was the Royal City of the Kase Royal Family, the core of the entire Kase Heaven Realm.

With a sweep of his Dao spiritual sense, everything in the entire Kase Royal City was under Xu Qing's control.

The strongest beings in the entire Kase Royal City were two Golden Behemoths at the Half-step Dao Lord Realm. Presumably, these were the Old Ancestors of the Kase Royal Family.

The Kase Royal Family was considered one of the stronger branches among the Behemoth Royal Family, belonging to the upper-tier Royal Families. Only Imperial Families and the Nine Great Royal Families could suppress them.

Currently, family points were in urgent demand, so Xu Qing prepared to settle down in Kase Royal City.

The Behemoth Clan was extremely powerful, with one Immortal Overlord, three Immortal Giants, and over thirty other Dao Lords. It was one of the strongest forces near the Human Territory.

Therefore, by settling here, Xu Qing had an opportunity to make a fortune.

Thus, adhering to the principle of not wanting to cause trouble, Xu Qing did not directly teleport into the Royal City. Instead, he disguised himself as a Dao Severing Realm Spirit Race member to enter the city.

Among the Myriad Races, the Spirit Race looked most similar to the Human Race. Additionally, the Spirit Race was one of the Myriad Race Overlords, so they rarely encountered trouble in the city.

A Dao Severing Realm Cultivation, while not the strongest in the Royal City, was considered a significant force, avoiding some unnecessary troubles.

With this identity, Xu Qing quickly obtained an entry permit at the city gate.

"Is this your first time in the Royal City, esteemed Sir?"

As soon as he entered the city, a Blue Robe youth with a beaming smile walked towards him.

Xu Qing saw through this person's origins and past with just a glance.

This youth was a consultant, also known as a guide. They typically introduced city affairs to guests new to an unfamiliar city, guiding them in their spending, and so on.

This person's Cultivation had already reached the Quasi-Emperor Perfection. In the Lower Realm, he would undoubtedly be a regional overlord, but in this Royal City, he was nothing. From Xu Qing's perspective, let alone Quasi-Emperor Perfection, even Emperor Realm experts were abundant.

Xu Qing feigned surprise and said, "Oh? You're a consultant?"

"Indeed! Sir, my name is Feng San, and I am from the Wind Shadow Tribe. This is my identity token!"

The youth took out his identity token and handed it to Xu Qing, to put Xu Qing at ease.

Xu Qing glanced at it and nodded.

The Wind Shadow Tribe, one of the Myriad Races, was a mid-tier race among them. This tribe primarily Cultivated the Dao of Wind and was widely distributed. However, since its establishment, no Dao Lord had ever appeared, and the strongest experts in the tribe were at most Half-step Dao Lord Realm.

Clearly, this Feng San was a peripheral figure within the Wind Shadow Tribe, otherwise, he wouldn't be working as a consultant.

"I need a shop. Do you know of any good places in this city? Preferably with a backyard!"

As he spoke, Xu Qing threw out a small pouch containing a hundred Chaos Spirit Crystals.

Feng San was overjoyed; this trip was profitable. One Chaos Spirit Crystal was worth ten thousand Saint Sources. In his usual dealings with guests, he had only ever received a maximum of fifteen Chaos Spirit Crystals.

The main way they earned money in this line of work was through the rebates they received from guests' spending at places they recommended.

From this, he knew that Xu Qing was not short on money.

So, he recalled the shops available for rent in the Royal City recently and quickly had an idea.

Feng San cautiously asked, "I dare not hide it from you, Sir, living in this Royal City is very difficult! The Royal City is divided into the Outer City, Inner City, and Royal Palace. The good shops are all in the Inner City, and the shops on the Eight Streets of the Inner City are undoubtedly the best locations. However, to acquire property there, one must be a noble with at least a Silver Meng Token."

"However, there are also many popular shops in other parts of the Inner City, and many of them meet your requirements. I just don't know what your budget is, Sir? And how large a storefront do you need?"

From his heart, he naturally hoped Xu Qing would choose shops in good locations, because that would mean a substantial rebate for him. But he needed to ascertain Xu Qing's financial resources.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing had a plan.

He shook his head and smiled, "I prefer quiet places, and there's no need to choose those bustling areas. I just need a large space, a clean environment, and the price doesn't matter. After the deal is done, you will not be short of benefits!"

Feng San was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this. How could one do business in a secluded place?

However, since Xu Qing had spoken, he naturally couldn't say anything.

Moreover, there was indeed a place in the city that met Xu Qing's standards and offered a good rebate.

"Sir, I happen to have a residence that meets your standards. Please come with me!"

"Lead the way!"

"Alright!"

Flying was forbidden in the Royal City, except for guards patrolling the city and those from first-rate powers. Everyone else was prohibited from flying within the city.

Thus, the business of beast carriages was extremely prosperous in the city.

Sure enough, Feng San gestured into the distance, and a beast carriage immediately came over.

The beast carriage's decor wasn't overly opulent, but it was elegant. The two snow-white unicorns pulling it were only at the Emperor Realm, and the driver was also an Emperor Realm expert from the Wind Shadow Tribe.

Xu Qing couldn't help but smile; he wouldn't believe they weren't familiar with each other.

"Please don't mind, Sir. This is my cousin; he's just trying to make a living in the city!"

As if seeing through Xu Qing's thoughts, Feng San quickly explained.

The Emperor Realm youth pulling the carriage also humbly bowed to Xu Qing.

"No worries!"

Xu Qing smiled, not caring.

In a place like the Royal City, even if a low-level being Cultivated to the Emperor Realm, they were still just slightly larger ants, only able to engage in low-level work. The best conditions they could hope for were probably as guards in large Clans.

As the beast carriage moved, Feng San began to explain the layout of the Royal City to Xu Qing, introducing some rumors and secrets he had gathered. Xu Qing listened, and soon gained a deeper understanding of Kase Royal City... [Only one chapter today!]
