Chapter 33
C33 – Escape
When Meng Zhao and Yang Jin saw Jing Zhen’s miserable state, they felt their nerves tighten. He really died too miserably. Who had such a huge grudge with him?
Meng Zhao thought for a while and said anxiously, “Elder Miao came to catch Sheng Yuduo. Why did he die here? Sheng Yuduo is at most at the Energy Condensation Stage. How could he be a match for Elder Miao? It’s even more impossible for him to kill Elder Miao!”
Meng Huoyang rolled his eyes and said with a terrified expression, “Could it be that Grandmaster Stage Expert attacked him? But why didn’t he save the others from the Sheng family?”
Meng Zhao and Yang Jin felt that their clothes were instantly drenched in sweat. Grandmaster Stage Experts could kill people at any time.
Yang Jin wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “It seems like that’s the case. We can’t guess the thoughts of a Grandmaster Stage Expert.”
“This matter will end here for now. The two of us will immediately return to the sect and report this matter to the sect. The sect will make the final decision.”
Sheng Yuduo had already escaped from Rosewall at this time. He did not dare to stop at all. He ran for an entire night, and only stopped to catch his breath when the sky was bright.
At that time, he was in a hurry to escape. He had decided to run in a certain direction. Now, he did not know where he had run to, so he could only slowly inquire about it.
Sheng Yuduo was secretly glad that he had accepted the bag of Spirit Crystals from the Elder Team. In addition, he still had the gold bill that he had accumulated in the past. He could still live a comfortable life!
Sheng Yuduo slowly walked along the dirt road. Not long after, he saw a teahouse on the side of the road. He walked over carelessly and saw an old man busy working there.
Sheng Yuduo sat up and said to the old man, “Please prepare some snacks and a pot of tea for me!”
The old man quickly brought the things over. At this time, there was no one else in the teahouse. Sheng Yuduo and the old man started chatting. He smiled and said, “Can I know your name?”
The old man smiled and said, “Everyone in the surrounding villages calls me Old Man Zhang! Young master, you must be from the outskirts, right?”
Sheng Yuduo nodded and said, “I was originally a businessman, but I ran into bandits last night. I rushed out and lost my direction. May I ask where this is?”
Old Man Zhang sighed and said, “The world is getting more and more chaotic recently, but money is just an external thing. It’s good that you’re fine. This is Tongzhou. If you walk a few dozen kilometers ahead, you will reach the famous Feng City.”
When Sheng Yuduo heard this, he was overjoyed. He didn’t expect to run a thousand miles in one night. He ran from Rosewall to Feng City. He realized that his Vanishing Step was about to reach its peak state.
Rosewall was just a small border city, while Feng City was a famous Great City. The reason why Feng City was so famous was because it was close to the famous Demonic Beast Forest!
The Demonic Beast Forest, the Flowing Fire Desert, the Death Sea, and the Boneyard were known as the Four Great Vicious Grounds of the Divine Martial Continent. It was said that there were a large number of Demonic Beasts living in the Demonic Beast Forest. There was a Level 9 Demonic Beast in the core area of the Demonic Beast Forest.
However, the Demonic Beast Forest was also a paradise for adventurers. Due to the strict hierarchy of the demonic beasts, the higher the level of the demonic beasts, the more they lived in the core. Therefore, many Low-level Demonic Beasts lived in the outskirts of the forest.
This caused many desperate adventurers to enter the forest to hunt for Demonic Beasts in exchange for a large amount of benefits. Feng City was their biggest supply station and trading hub.
This place was simply tailored for Sheng Yuduo. He could happily level up here. If he could cultivate here, it was not impossible for him to reach the God Stage.
Sheng Yuduo quickly finished his tea and asked for directions from Old Man Zhang. He left behind a gold bill. When Old Man Zhang expressed his gratitude, he embarked on a new journey.
The journey of a few dozen kilometers was only a matter of time for Sheng Yuduo. He quickly arrived in front of a city. Looking at the majestic city wall in front of him, he felt that the Rosewall was not even comparable to a small village.
The city wall was a few dozen feet tall and a few feet thick. It was made of the hardest Adamantine Rock. Even a Grandmaster Stage Expert might not be able to leave a mark on it.
The heavy city gate was made of the best Profound Iron. Profound Iron was a very precious item. When casting Divine Weapons, the carrier was usually made of Profound Iron!
The city gate was wide open. A few soldiers stood lazily at the side, yawning nonstop as they casually scanned the people entering and leaving the city.
Sheng Yuduo was stopped by an officer the moment he walked to the city gate. The man said with sleepy eyes, “This is your first time in Feng City, right? Do you have a road sign?”
Sheng Yuduo frowned slightly and handed over a piece of Low Grade Spirit Crystal. He said with a smile, “I was originally a merchant, but I didn’t expect to meet bandits. I have lost a lot of my things. Officer, I hope you can make an exception.”
The officer weighed the Spirit Crystal in his hand and said with a smile, “You are quite smart. Go over there and make a road sign, then you can enter the city.”
Sheng Yuduo thanked him profusely and found a square table. Behind the table was a man with a moustache. He was holding a brush in his hand and writing non-stop.
Sheng Yuduo walked over with a smile and said politely, “Sir, please make a road sign for me. I met bandits and lost it.”
The man with the moustache asked casually, “Where are you from? What are you doing in Feng City?”
Sheng Yuduo immediately replied, “I’m from the Zhao Village. I came to Feng City to make a living! Sir, I hope you can make an exception!”
The man with the moustache seemed to have seen a lot of such things, but he just casually asked Sheng Yuduo. He asked Sheng Yuduo to give him his name and then gave him a good road sign after handing him 500 gold bills.
The road sign was equivalent to an identity certificate. Only then could Sheng Yuduo swagger into the city! The city was bustling with activity, and there were many merchants selling things. He could occasionally see men wearing weapons shouting loudly on the road.
Sheng Yuduo found a tavern. As soon as he walked in, a waiter immediately came up to him with a face full of smiles and said, “Customer, what do you plan to do?”
Sheng Yuduo casually tipped the waiter with a gold bill. The waiter was overjoyed. The most valuable thing in the Divine Martial Continent was naturally the Spirit Crystal. Other than that, the common currency was the gold bill and silver bill. One gold bill was equivalent to 1000 silver bills, and one silver bill was equivalent to one yuan!
The waiter’s monthly salary was only three gold bills! When he saw that Sheng Yuduo was so generous, he became even more attentive.
