Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 190: Lord of Zixiao City

Ling Ying's voice was filled with surprise.

"No need to be so polite, Mr. Ling!" Xiao Bai waved his hand and smiled softly, "Why did you come to Black Seal City?"

"The young lady is worried about the safety of the young master, so she ordered me to find him!" Ling Ying stood up and smiled, looking a little excited.

The young lady gave him a deadline of five days and ordered him to make every effort to find Xiao Bai's whereabouts. He was a little confused when he heard about this task.

There are many uncertainties in the movement of the space jade slip. Depending on the environment at the time, sometimes the transmission is very close, but it will fall out of the space channel hundreds of miles away.

Sometimes it can be transmitted very far, tens of thousands of miles away.

How can I find this in five days?
But looking at the young lady's worried eyes and cold expression, if he dared to say a word of nonsense at that time, he would probably be killed on the spot, so he had no choice but to agree.

However, he didn't expect that when he just arrived in Black Seal City, which is closest to Canaan College, and wanted to get some information, he saw Xiao Bai fighting with someone, and he almost burst into tears.

There has never been a moment when he felt Xiao Bai so kind!

"Xun'er!" A hint of warmth appeared in Xiao Bai's eyes. He didn't expect that the girl would send people here in such a short time.

"Sir, why didn't you let me take action just now?" Ling Ying asked puzzledly, looking at Xiao Bai's slightly trembling hands.

When he arrived, he saw Xiao Bai's feet sinking into the ground. He became anxious and was about to take action, but was stopped by him through voice transmission.

"I can handle it, so there's no need to trouble you, old man!" Xiao Bai smiled faintly, and the spear in his hand flashed, turning into a golden light and disappearing into his sleeves.

"My lord, a bit of my origin has been separated this time, and I need to sleep for a few days to recover. Please be careful!" The slightly weak voice of the little golden dragon came.

"Yeah!" Xiao Bai nodded slightly and patted his sleeves gently.

Feeling the dragon-shaped shadow in his body, a hint of gentleness flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes.

Normally, when this guy mentions the origin, it's like he's asking for its life. He says he won't give it at all, but when the critical moment comes, he gives it without saying a word.

"Alas." After hearing Xiao Bai's tone just now, Ling Ying remained silent and sighed secretly in his heart.

It seems that Mr. Xiao is still very upset about Qingshuang's condescending words last time.

He will only accept help given by the young lady herself. Although he seems to be gentle to the people around the young lady, he does not want to be too involved.

Ling Ying looked at Xiao Bai's resolute face and thought silently in his heart:

"You are indeed a proud person, but I don't know. When you really know the identity of the lady, can you still maintain this pride?"

Thinking of the giant in the clan, Ling Ying shook his head secretly. Even a Douluo Saint would feel pressured to face him, let alone Xiao Bai!
Although my impression of him has changed a lot compared to before, he is no longer the Xiao Bai who stayed in the ninth level of Dou Zhi Qi for five years.

But I still have doubts about whether he can end up with the young lady.

"Anyone who leaves without permission will be killed!" Xiao Bai shouted, waking Ling Ying who was lost in thought.

With a quick glance, he saw the three Dou Wangs from the Eight Gates. They seemed to see that Xiao Bai was in a bad condition and wanted to escape, so they released a breath of intimidation at the right time.

"Dou Emperor!"

"No, not just any Dou Huang, but a peak Dou Huang!"

"I didn't expect there would be such a strong person in Black Seal City!"

Some people in the city who were spying on this place could not help but gasp and speak in shocked tones.

"My master said that anyone who moves without permission will be killed without mercy!" Ling Ying stood behind Xiao Bai. Her calm voice, filled with murderous intent, echoed throughout the city.

The three Dou Wang who were trying to slip away felt a murderous intent lingering around their bodies. Their bodies suddenly stiffened as if they fell into an ice cave, and they dared not have any more thoughts.

"Sir?"

"Is this person so powerful? A Douhuang peak expert who calls himself Young Master?"

"Is the Black Horn Region going to change?"

Listening to the various Dihua words coming to his ears, Xiao Bai rolled his eyes and couldn't help but look back at Ling Ying behind him.

"Don't worry about it, sir. It's just a piece of cake!" Ling Ying waved his hand with a smile.

".!" Xiao Bai.

He has been standing here, as if he would fall down if touched, just wanting to catch some monsters in this city!

Anyone who dares to attract the attention of Black Seal City must have a high level of cultivation. Each of them is a wealthy man, very rich, and it is a good opportunity for them to make another profit.

He is extremely poor now. His storage ring was destroyed in Canaan College. Fortunately, those elders did not chase him for the Dou Ling Pill, otherwise he would have nothing to hand in.

Unexpectedly, Ling Ying's words disrupted all his plans!

Forget it. Xiao Bai shook his head and walked straight to the Black Seal Auction House. Passing by Yuan Yi's body, he waved and took off the ring on his hand. Then he glanced at the black-robed figure crying and laughing beside him and said coldly:

"You should do something!"

"I have been by his side for twelve years, even accepting him as my father, and today, he is finally dead!"

The black-robed figure murmured, and after looking at Yuan Yi's body with complicated eyes, he stood up and a hoarse voice came out:
"Don't worry, sir! You have helped me to avenge my great hatred. From now on, my life belongs to you!"

Xiao Bai remained expressionless in response to his words. He did not comment and walked towards the door of the auction house.

He glanced at the old figure shivering in the corner. This was the old man who traded fire beads with him in the treasure appraisal room during the day.

"His name is Hu Degui. He is Yuan Yuanyi's confidant and has been helping him manage the Black Seal Auction House!" The black-robed figure stood behind Xiao Bai and explained softly.

"Nonsense. Yuan Yi and I are just employers and employees. How can I be his confidant?" The old man heard this and retorted loudly with a look of fear on his face.

I cursed this bastard in my heart. Speaking of confidants, as Yuan Yi's adopted son, you should be his number one confidant!
Xiao Bai watched the scene coldly without saying a word. He turned around and looked at the three figures not far away.

The three Dou Wang elders felt Xiao Bai's deep gaze and their bodies trembled. They were at a loss. They raised their heads cautiously and glanced at the phantom figure beside Xiao Bai, which was like a shadow.

After a while, seeing that Xiao Bai's gaze was still oppressive on them, they couldn't help but feel bitter, looked at each other secretly, and walked forward nervously.

"Xue Yuan, Kong Zhou, Gao Heng!"

"Meet the adults!"

"One is eight stars, one is four stars, and one has a rather unstable aura and has just entered the Dou Wang realm!" Xiao Bai glanced at the auras of the three and asked calmly:
"Apart from the four of you, are there any other Dou Wangs among the Eight Gates?"

"Your Excellency, it's gone!" Eight-Star Fighting King Xue Yuan replied cautiously.

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke loudly, his voice resounding throughout the city:

"From today on, the Eight Gates will be removed from the list, Black Seal City will be renamed Purple Sky City, Black Seal Auction will be renamed Purple Sky Auction, I am Xiao Bai..."

"You should be the Lord of Zixiao City!"

The voice spread across the sky above Black Seal City, causing everyone to look at each other in bewilderment. "Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

After Xiao Bai finished speaking, the black-robed figure next to him reacted first and shouted in a hoarse voice.

This sound seemed to be the beginning, awakening everyone who was in a daze.

"Greetings, His Majesty the City Lord!" The three Dou Wang elders and the old man from the auction house in front of Xiao Bai hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Then came the city guards' gang of black-clad men. They all gathered on the street in front of the auction house. They knelt on one knee and shouted:
"We are here to see the Lord City Lord!"

The sound was like a tidal wave, spreading throughout the silent Zixiao City under the night sky.

"Does this person really want to take control of Black Seal City?"

"The world has changed! With Yuan Yi's death, the Eight Gates are really finished!"

"How refreshing! Unless there is a Dou Zong or other super-powerful person in charge, the forces in the Black Horn Region will always rise and fall, and it won't take long for a new one to take over!"

"Haha. This guy is not ordinary. In the past, he was always the lone wolf. But this guy is the one that even the top Douhuang masters call him Young Master. His identity is very mysterious!"

"It's very mysterious, but don't be too nervous. The real superpowers don't think highly of the Black Horn Region!"

While people in various parts of the city were discussing the matter, two figures in an attic were quietly listening to the shouts of worship that were spreading throughout the city.

"Manager, this Black Seal City is now ruled by this person who changed his name. Will it have any impact on us?"

"That's fine! He runs his auction house, and we run our business. We shouldn't interfere with each other!"

"Master, judging from his behavior, he seems to be overbearing, and he is a young man. He is not someone who can judge the situation like Yuan Yi. Who knows if he will be jealous of us and have some inappropriate thoughts!"

"Haha. If he really has any idea, we are not soft persimmons that can be easily manipulated. Just being a Douhuang peak is not enough!"

The auction hall was brightly lit.

Several figures stood with their hands hanging down, looking at the young and strong figure sitting in the middle, playing with a black storage ring, and did not dare to make the slightest sound.

Occasionally, her eyes glanced at the shadowy figure behind him, and a hint of awe flashed in her eyes.

"Is that all?" Xiao Bai withdrew his soul perception that had probed into the storage ring, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Yuan Yi, this guy, is the leader of the Eight Gates and owns a huge auction house, but he doesn't have anything precious in his hands!

The most valuable things in the ring are the medicinal materials for three imperial-grade pills. Yuan Yi must have collected them and wanted someone to refine them.

There are some martial arts and fighting skills, but the highest-grade one is only a local-grade fighting skill, and the others are all profound-grade.

In addition to that, there are some gold coins, elixirs, magic cores and personal belongings.

Xiao Bai didn't care about the pile of gold coins. He just glanced at the pills and threw them aside with disgust. The quality was far worse than what he had refined!

Besides, it’s safer to eat pills that you make yourself. That old guy Yao Lao often adds ingredients to the pills.

So apart from what was given by people around him, Xiao Bai only took what he made himself.

However, some of the magic cores inside can be used for refining pills.

"Tell me about the Eight Gates!"

Xiao Bai tidied up the ring and put it on his hand. This was the first high-level ring he had ever gotten.

This thing has always been in short supply and rarely appears on the market. Sometimes, even if you have money, it is difficult to find it.

"City Lord, the Eight Gates currently have four Dou Wangs and nine Dou Lings. Below the Dou Lings, the number is unknown for the time being!"

"The biggest industry is the Black Seal. Zixiao Auction House. There are also many other shops and inns in this Black Seal City!"

"As for the situation at the auction house."

Ji Bu, with a hoarse voice, looked at Manager Hu who was cowering beside him.

"City Lord!" Manager Hu was very nervous and stammered, "The total profit of the auction house is about 50 million gold coins per year, of which..."

After listening to Manager Hu's report for a while, Xiao Bai's brows gradually furrowed and his face looked a little ugly.

"The annual profit is actually entirely supported by auctions. The medicinal material transactions only account for a tiny fraction of it!"

Xiao Bai asked in a cold voice:
"Where are the herbs? Did they let you eat this part?"

In Wutan City, when Xiao Bai and Yafei were doing business, he occasionally heard them say that in the auction house, the profits from the auction accounted for half, and the medicinal materials and other transactions on weekdays accounted for the other half.

But this guy just avoided the main point and only talked about the profits of the auction in detail, but was a little vague about daily transactions.

Do you really think he is a fool?
"Sir, please spare me! Sir, please spare me!" When Manager Hu saw Xiao Bai's fierce gaze, his knees weakened and he almost collapsed to the ground. He said urgently:
"It's none of my business, it's just that... Zixiao City's medicinal materials business is almost entirely occupied by the "Qianyaofang"!"

"In this city, whenever people mention medicinal materials trading, the first thing they think of is Qianyaofang, not our auction house!"

Xiao Bai frowned, thinking of the price of medicinal materials he saw during the day, and asked, "Is it because your price is too high that you don't want anyone to come?"

He had experienced the prices at the auction during the day, and they had almost doubled!

"City Lord, I'm sure you know that the price of Chinese medicinal herbs in this auction is abnormal. This is what Gatekeeper Yuan Yi ordered before. He told me to mark the price of medicinal herbs in the auction three or four times higher than outside. I just want to mark a normal price, but there is nothing I can do!"

"Why?"

"I am just following orders, I don't know!"

"City Lord, I know a little about this matter!" Eight-Star Fighting King Xue Yuan said with a little hesitation.

"Tell me!"

"Well, I was the first one to come to the Eight Gates." At this point, Xue Yuan carefully looked at Xiao Bai's face, as if he was afraid that the latter would think he was a diehard member of the Eight Gates.

"Just speak boldly!" Xiao Bai said in a deep voice.

He knew what this person was worried about, and felt quite disdainful. In the Black Horn Region, only the strong were respected. There was no such thing as loyalty. Whoever was stronger was right!
"Yes!" Xue Yuan was relieved immediately and said boldly: "I remember that Yuan Yi had just been promoted to Dou Huang, conquered Black Seal City, and established the Eight Gates not long ago, which attracted the attention of some powerful people in the Black Horn Region!"

"The situation at that time could be said to be extremely critical, but at this moment, Black Emperor City extended a helping hand!"

"Of course, this was not without cost. No one knows exactly what Yuan Yi paid at the time, but later on, a 'Thousand Medicine Shop' came to Black Seal City!"

"This Qianyaofang specializes in the business of medicinal materials and elixirs. Yuan Yi opened the door to convenience for this purpose, and even let his own auction house cut off all other medicinal materials business except for the auction commissions!"

"Since then, the business of medicinal materials and elixirs in Black Seal City has almost been dominated by Qianyaofang!"

"That's right! City Lord, I don't know about what happened before, but having followed Yuan Yi closely for so many years, I know that he is very wary of Qianyaofang, but he always greets us with a smile whenever they meet!"

"Haha. Qianyaofang, Black Emperor Sect, Dou Zong?" Xiao Bai sneered.

He wanted this Black Seal City for medicinal materials and pills, but he didn't expect that this place was just an empty shell!
