Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 439 Mall
"Okay, let's go take a look."

The head of the Dongfang family said somewhat impatiently.

At this moment, he was genuinely curious about what good things the Great Yu Dynasty had to offer.

After all, if they can even bring out something like elemental stones, then other things are even more readily available.

Lu Ming did not refuse, and stood up with a smile, saying, "Okay, let's go take a look."

After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.

The other family heads also followed behind.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Zhang Meng and his personal guards were already waiting. Lu Ming's carriage and the chariots of the various family heads were parked to the side. In the past, Lu Ming would probably have changed into ordinary clothes before going out.

But things are different now. If there are several family heads, then naturally they should go openly and legitimately.

All ceremonial regalia should be more comprehensive.

Therefore, as soon as they arrived outside the palace gates, the guards surrounded them. Lu Ming boarded the carriage, and the other family heads also boarded their own carriages. Surrounded by guards, they headed towards the city.

The shopping mall near the imperial city of Dayu was actually a large wholesale market.

Anyone can buy the items inside, including the geniuses of foreign tribes. However, the items in the inner city are different; only people from the Great Yu Kingdom can purchase them.

Therefore, everyone is very curious about the inner city.

When Lu Ming and his group arrived at the mall, the heads of the families looked at the dazzling array of goods and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on their faces.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw a lot of things, all of which were needed by their families.

And, most importantly...

Many of these are items they want to buy but can't get their hands on.

Finally, the Dongfang family head and his group stopped next to a shop selling Saint King Pills.

Although several families can now refine Saint King Pills, they can only produce low-grade Saint King Pills. What the Great Yu is displaying now is a top-grade Saint King Pill. Such a pill is rare in the Hongmeng Great World.

Apart from the ancient clans, other forces are almost never seen.

However, the Great Yu clan was selling the pills directly to the public, and they even saw geniuses from ancient clans buying them there.

When the head of the Dongfang family entered the shop, he looked at the items displayed inside.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

"Your Majesty, may we purchase these items?" The head of the Dugu family was the first to ask.

The language was filled with anticipation.

If they had pills of this quality, the Saint King realm experts in their family would definitely be able to cultivate much faster.

“Of course you can. Not just you, anyone can buy them. However, for you all, our Great Yu opens its inner city, and those are generally supplies sold internally,” Lu Ming said with a smile.

The heads of the families immediately became interested.

"Oh? In that case, I'll have to go take a look."

The head of the Dongfang family was the first to speak with a smile.

The other family heads nodded in agreement.

The outer city of Dayu had already given them a great deal, so the inner city must be even more extraordinary.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the street, and then a group of people came running over.

It was none other than the deputy general guarding the mall.

Upon learning of Lu Ming's arrival, he led a group of men and rushed over. As soon as he saw Lu Ming, he knelt down on the ground and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty! This humble general was unaware of Your Majesty's arrival and has failed to greet you properly. Please punish me!"

His voice was very loud and rough. Even when kneeling on one knee, he was still much taller than the average person. He was none other than Ju'e, an ancient giant god from the Great Yu Dynasty. After becoming a worshipper of the Great Yu, he had distinguished himself on the battlefield and was now a third-rank general of the Great Yu.

He assisted in guarding the mall, and his current strength has reached the Saint Emperor realm.

Although he was only in the early stage of the Holy Emperor realm, his powerful combat strength was enough to rival that of the late stage of the Holy Emperor realm.

This great calamity is quite well-known in the Hongmeng world.

But at this moment, he was extremely respectful.

The heads of the families were quite surprised, clearly not expecting that Ju'e would join Dayu.

After all, this person was known for his arrogance and extraordinary strength throughout the Hongmeng universe.

"Rise. Just do your duty. You don't need to stay here with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ju'e replied and carefully withdrew.

After he left.

The head of the Dugu family couldn't help but ask, "Isn't he from another race? How come he's in Dayu?"

"Patriarch Dugu, this is the difference between the imperial court and the family. Within your family, there are only your own clansmen, while the imperial court is all-encompassing. Let alone just one person, if any suitable clansmen come to join us in the future, as long as they are sincere, the Great Yu will also accept them."

After glancing at the several family heads who were deep in thought, Lu Ming continued, "Right now, there are still quite a few geniuses who have pledged allegiance to the Great Yu, and people apply to join the imperial court every day."

His words caused astonishment to appear on the faces of the several family heads.

Clearly, no one expected such a thing to happen.

After all, these geniuses are all proud and arrogant. Now that they have been in Dayu for so long, quite a few people actually want to join Dayu. This represents a lot. They are the ones who can cross the Star Road and come to Dayu to explore the mysterious land.

Even at the very least, one can reach the cultivation level of a Saint Emperor.

Some of the most powerful could even reach the Saintly Venerable level. If such figures remained in the Great Yu Dynasty, and were allowed to develop further, the Great Yu Dynasty's strength would surely rise to a new level.

They don't need to elaborate on how terrifying that time was.

Even now, the strength of the Great Yu should have already surpassed theirs.

If they had any doubts about the strength of the Great Yu in the past, they have completely disappeared now.

"Emperor Yu has truly set a precedent for our human race. In the past, when people from those powerful clans met our human race, they all acted arrogantly and didn't give us a friendly look. Let alone now that someone has pledged allegiance to us."

"Compared to you, we are far inferior," the head of the Dongfang family said with a wry smile.

At this moment, they finally understood where the gap lay.

Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of perspective, there is a significant gap.

Just then, Lu Ming looked up at the sky and then slowly said.

"It's getting late. I've arranged a banquet for you tonight. Let's go check out the inner city as soon as possible."

As they spoke, the chariot moved forward.

The heads of the families nodded.

At the same time, the expectation in his eyes flashed by.

They all hoped that there would be something interesting in the inner city.

The convoy continued moving forward.

When they finally entered the inner city, everyone's eyes lit up.

Everything that came into view filled the family heads with a sense of novelty and shock.
