70: Chapter 70 Return

"This girl's luck... is actually quite good. It's actually a Light-Dark Source." Peppa recognized it at a glance and was extremely shocked.

Chu Yaoyao quickly stored it away. "It's all standard procedure, don't make a fuss."

Mu Cheng was naturally very interested in something that could shock even Peppa, so he asked.

"What is this? Seeing you like this, it must be something quite good!"

"Of course, this is essential for breaking through to the Ninth Rank!" Peppa explained simply.

"Fine! I'll see what I got." Out of sight, out of mind, Mu Cheng thought.

Pretending to be very calm, he clicked on the reward page and spent one star-glow crystal to purchase it. (The item was exclusive to him, but he had to buy it to see what it was.)

It was also an energy source, but Mu Cheng's was black, and he could clearly feel it devouring everything around it.

"How is this possible? It's absolutely impossible... How could this be the black hole source of the Devouring Bloodline? Impossible... This is impossible. Just what is the background of this Trader?" Peppa was even more shocked than before.

From this, it was very obvious... this thing was definitely not simple.

"black hole source? Could this... thing be beyond the Ninth Rank?" Chu Yaoyao asked, somewhat uncertain.

Others might not know, but she knew very well that to break through to the Ninth Rank, one needed to open up a bloodline source within their body.

Hearing about this black hole source and seeing Peppa so shocked and losing his composure... she naturally associated it with being beyond the Ninth Rank.

"Mm-hmm, you guessed right." Peppa indicated that was indeed the case.

Beside them, Mu Cheng was a bit dumbfounded. "What are you guys talking about... Can't you explain it more clearly?"

Forget the black hole source, Mu Cheng hadn't even come into contact with a bloodline source in his past life, so naturally, he had never even heard of it.

"It's nothing, let's head out! It seems like... you can't use this thing at all for now." Chu Yaoyao didn't waste time and quickly left the Trader Space.

Peppa: "When you reach the Eighth Rank, this thing will... Forget it, I'll tell you later!"

Stopping mid-sentence, he suddenly changed his mind and didn't explain further.

"Alright! It's time for us to head back." Mu Cheng didn't ask more; after storing the black hole source, he also left the Trader Space.

When they came out, it was eerily quiet outside; there wasn't a single person in sight, much less a zombie.

"It looks like they've already left. Let's head back too!" Chu Yaoyao didn't hesitate and took the High-level Trader's storage with her.

Mu Cheng looked at the empty treasure chests and asked with some confusion.

"They've left... but isn't it a bit scary quiet?"

"Don't be so jumpy all the time. You've already broken that Talisman Array... this Skeleton Island is finished." Peppa replied somewhat irritably.

Mu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Then let's hurry back. I'm worried about Xinning City."

"It hasn't even been a day. Don't forget that zombies are cleared out every three days and given a major sweep every seven days, but it is indeed time to head back now."

Chu Yaoyao didn't hesitate, putting on her flight backpack and placing a star-glow crystal into a baby bottle...

She soared into the sky to leave, and Mu Cheng also released his Purple Cloud Wings... following closely behind.

When they got up, it was just as Peppa had said; there wasn't a trace of the zombies on Skeleton Island to be seen...

The two people and one piglet didn't linger, heading straight back to Xinning City after leaving Skeleton Island.

On the city walls of Xinning City, a hundred miles away.

"Sister Na... it seems Brother Cheng has gone out again with that whoever." Tao Shuishui suddenly spoke slowly.

Beside her were Gu Na, Tao Mumu, Bai Yi, gelatinous tooth, Qin Chen, Jiang Nanbei, and others...

"If he's out, he's out. After all, aren't we still here?" Bai Yi was quite confident.

With her strength skyrocketing now, her words naturally carried a hint of arrogance...

Gu Na became quite worried. "No, no, no, I'm not worried about our side, but whether Brother Cheng can handle it."

"Pah~ you can't doubt whether a man is capable; even if he isn't, he has to be." gelatinous tooth suddenly interjected humorously.

Tao Mumu didn't catch the hidden meaning and said casually, "If he can't, he can't... why must he be able to even if he can't?"

Once this topic came out, Gu Na was instantly speechless and exploded on the spot. "I give up... Honestly, Captain gelatinous tooth, when did you become so improper?"

"Where am I being improper... I'm just telling the truth." gelatinous tooth's old face instantly turned red.

Qin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Alright... there have been many wild animals lately, so everyone should get back to work!"

If it weren't for the wild animals, these strongest combatants of Xinning City wouldn't have all gathered together.

Now that such a topic had suddenly cropped up... as the eldest, Qin Chen naturally couldn't stand it and left.

"It's good to be young. You guys carry on." Jiang Nanbei didn't stay either and quickly departed...

"Wait for me..." gelatinous tooth naturally didn't have the face to stay any longer and took the opportunity to slip away.

He also followed them out.

"What else is there to talk about? Everyone, get back to what you should be doing." After saying that, Gu Na also left.

And so... the brief exchange ended.

As for Mu Cheng and Chu Yaoyao, their journey was also very smooth; they didn't encounter any danger while flying in the air.

Six hours later... they finally returned to Xinning City.

"It seems it was just a minor skirmish. Next... it's time to prepare properly." Mu Cheng looked at what was before him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yaoyao naturally understood and asked, "Are you planning to leave Xinning City? If so, you really should prepare well."

"Mm-hmm, I need a large quantity of black gold weapons. I'll probably be very busy for a while." Mu Cheng nodded in response.

Peppa suddenly piped up, "At the very least, you need to break through to the Peak of the Sixth Rank; otherwise, don't even think about it."

"Understood. By the way... when will the things I want be delivered? Can we increase the batch of black gold weapons now?" Mu Cheng asked, feeling a bit awkward.

Such a large batch of items... do you think the Trading Center just conjures things out of air?

"black gold weapons are easy; I can give them to you now. But other things need to be sent from elsewhere, so it won't be that fast," Chu Yaoyao said, maintaining her composure.

It was clear... she was quite annoyed. It was probably because Mu Cheng was a powerful backer that she forced herself to remain calm.

"Alright! Giving the black gold weapons first is fine too," Mu Cheng said as he landed on the walls of Xinning City.

Chu Yaoyao didn't hesitate either, operating the high-tech bracelet on her right wrist to transfer over a million black gold weapons.

"black gold weapons aren't too expensive, but there's a lot of them—about a million pieces!"

Even a mosquito's leg is meat. Although black gold weapons are commonplace, they are currently the best metal available.

So the price isn't very high, but it's not very low either—one hundred grey crystals...

A million pieces is equivalent to a hundred million. This... when there's a lot of mosquito meat, it really does hurt.

But to Mu Cheng, none of this mattered...
