"Heh heh, esteemed guest really has good eyesight. I am indeed a Wusang tribesman, but I have left my homeland to live here," the shopkeeper said with some surprise.
"So that's how it is. Nice to meet you," Shi Chuankong said with a smile.
"Haha, may I know what esteemed guests need?" the shopkeeper asked again.
"Shopkeeper, we need a map of Asura City. Do you have it?" Shi Chuankong asked while looking around in a mysterious manner.
The shopkeeper frowned and glanced at the door, then said in a low voice, "This is a prohibited item. Outsiders are not allowed to sell or buy it privately."
Han Li's heart was slightly moved when he saw his reaction.
"If shopkeeper doesn't say and we don't mention it, who will know?
Once we hand over the goods, isn't the deal done? "Shi Chuankong said with a mischievous smile.
The shopkeeper seemed to be somewhat hesitant. After muttering to himself for a long time, he didn't give a definite answer. Shi Chuankong didn't urge him and just casually looked at the items displayed on the shelves.
Shi Chuankong was quite good at buying things, so Han Li practiced silence and didn't say a word.
Magic Light wasn't interested in this. He stood at the entrance of the shop and looked down.
Seeing that the three of them weren't in a hurry to speak, the hesitant shopkeeper opened his mouth and said, "I do have the goods, but you should know how risky it is. So the price … is naturally a bit higher."
"Shopkeeper, you only need to quote a price. We know what to do," Shi Chuankong said with a smile.
"Fifty grey crystals," the shopkeeper said.
"Shopkeeper, this thing is priceless. It's rare for you to meet a buyer like us in so many years, right?" Shi Chuankong didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the shopkeeper with a smile that wasn't a smile and said slowly.
"Esteemed guest, don't be anxious. Bargaining is common sense. Everything can be discussed," the shopkeeper said with a mischievous smile.
"Ten grey crystals at most," Shi Chuankong said.
"Your price is too ruthless. Our map is different from those fakes on the market. It is slightly older, but the goods are absolutely authentic. There is no mistake," the shopkeeper said with a frown.
"Can you guarantee that this map is real?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Esteemed guest might not know, but the ninth district of Asura City has been under martial law for the past two to three thousand years. Aside from the Soul Cleansing District, there were no special restrictions placed on the other districts, so the management of the map was not strict.
The map in my hand is one of the few official maps that were left after the martial law. Most of the ones on the black market are replicas. They can't be compared. "The shopkeeper took a puff from his snuff bottle and rubbed his nose.
"Apart from the Soul Cleansing Area … is there anything special about this Soul Cleansing Area?" Han Li interrupted.
"This is the Holy Land of the Nine Nether Tribe. It has always been mysterious, and even members of the Nine Nether Tribe are not allowed to enter," said the shopkeeper.
"If that's the case, this map is worth 14 or 15 Grey Crystals," Shi Chuankong said.
"I won't sell it for less than 40 Grey Crystals," the shopkeeper said firmly.
Shi Chuankong remained unmoved. After some haggling, he finally settled the deal at 28 grey crystals.
When the shopkeeper reluctantly took out a black stone plate, Shi Chuankong put his hands behind his back and showed no intention of paying.
While the shopkeeper was puzzled, Shi Chuankong looked at Han Li and said, "Why are you still in a daze? Pay up."
Han Li couldn't help but rub his nose. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he took the black stone plate and paid the grey crystals to the shopkeeper.
After Magic Light refined the stone plate and confirmed that the map inside wasn't fake, the three of them left the shop.
"It's just a few dozen grey crystals. Why bother? After returning to the Immortal World, we won't need these things anymore," Han Li said to Shi Chuankong after walking out of the Overturn Street.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you don't understand. I don't care about the grey crystals, but business," Shi Chuankong said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Magic Light's voice transmission.
"I checked the map earlier, and the location of the Soul Cleansing Area is very special.
From the Dark Nether Area, we need to pass through the Hundred Treasure Area and Luosheng Area before reaching the Soul Cleansing Area.
Every two areas are separated by high walls and restrictions, but I don't know what kind of restrictions they are.
In addition, the Soul Cleansing Area is completely blank, and there are no diagrams. "
"It's so well protected … It seems that the holy land of the Fiend Cleansing Pond is indeed in the Soul Cleansing Area. Let's go to the Hundred Treasure Area first," Han Li said to the two of them.
Magic Light nodded and led the way. They left the Overturn Street and headed in the direction of the Hundred Treasure Area.
Clang clang clang!
At that moment, a grand bell sound came from afar and reverberated in the air. The entire Asura City could clearly hear it, and it was enough to shake one's soul.
Accompanied by the grand bell sound, four white light pillars soared from afar and soared into the sky.
Each of the white light pillars was three hundred meters thick, and they looked like four pillars supporting the sky. Judging from their location, they were in the Fallen Lake Region.
The people on the street stopped what they were doing and looked in that direction. Some people who knew each other even gathered together and pointed at the four white light pillars with excited expressions.
Han Li's group of three also stopped and looked in the direction of the white light pillars.
"It seems the Three Regions Alliance has begun," Shi Chuankong said after listening to the discussions in the surroundings.
"Very good, most of Asura City's attention is focused on that side, so it's convenient for us to move," Han Li said with a glint in his eyes.
The three of them quickly retracted their gazes and quickly walked forward.
… …
At that moment, the place where the four white light pillars were located was a plaza at the center of the Fallen Lake Region.
The plaza was extremely large, and it was more than a hundred miles in size.
The plaza was covered with white tiles. It was unknown what these white tiles were made of, but they were emitting wisps of white mist. The entire plaza was shrouded in white mist. This white mist was quite peculiar. It only rose a foot high and didn't continue to float upward, making the plaza look like a flat sea of clouds.
At that moment, countless people were standing outside the plaza. Most of them were residents of Asura City, and most of them were spirit slaves. There were also some followers of various races that had come for the alliance.
Nearly a thousand gray-clothed soldiers were standing at the edge of the plaza, forming a human wall that separated the crowd outside.
There were four stone pillars erected at the four corners of the plaza, and the four light pillars were soaring into the sky from these four stone pillars, becoming brighter and brighter.
The white light on the light pillars revolved, and white runes surged out of its surface, emitting an enormous aura that caused people's hearts to tremble.
Muffled thunderous booms echoed in the sky, and fiendish aura crazily surged out, transforming into a gray multicolored light that surged in the sky.
As the gray multicolored light surged, a loud rumble echoed, and a white stone platform appeared in the sky before slowly falling to the ground.
The stone platform was several hundred meters tall, and it projected a black shadow that shrouded the crowd in the vicinity.
At the top of the platform was an open space with a huge white ring-shaped table placed there.
It was unknown what this round table was made of, but it looked extremely simple and unadorned. There were no traces of restrictions on it, but it gave people an unusually solemn feeling.
Behind the round table were hundreds of seats, and it seemed to be the place where the alliance meeting was prepared.
Seeing this scene, the people in the vicinity were surprised, and they began to discuss with each other.
Although they had heard that the territory lord convention would be held here, they did not expect it to be held on this wide and unobstructed high platform.
At that moment, a black light descended from the sky and landed on the high platform, revealing the figure of a tall man.
This person was wearing bronze armor, and his facial features were quite handsome, but his expression was very indifferent, especially his pair of gray eyes, which did not show any emotion. It was the territory lord of Abyss, Yin Chengquan.
He stood there without emitting the slightest aura, but the surrounding void was faintly distorted, and everything in the world seemed to be revolving around him.
At that moment, Yin Chengquan was the center of the world.
The souls of everyone present involuntarily trembled, and it was a kind of trembling that came from the depths of their souls.
"Greetings, territory lord!"
The residents of Asura City shouted one after another, and they knelt on the ground like a tsunami.
The other outsiders also bowed respectfully.
"Welcome, everyone, to participate in the Three Realms Alliance. It's an honor for Asura City.
I believe everyone already knows the purpose of this alliance meeting. In order to be fair, the alliance meeting will be held here later. Everyone can watch it at will and be witnesses of this meeting, "Yin Chengquan said slowly.
His voice was not loud, but everyone in the vicinity of the square heard it clearly, as if it was ringing in their ears.
The people below heard it again, and they began to discuss with each other.
"Territory Lord Yin is upright and upright, and I admire you." A clear voice sounded, and a black light flashed on the high platform, and three black-robed figures appeared.
The person in front was a middle-aged man with a square face and thick eyebrows. His skin was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he had a long black beard that was half a foot long. He nodded slowly and said.
This person did not emit the slightest aura, but he perfectly blended in with the surrounding void, and he was vaguely on par with Yin Chengquan.
One of the other two was a Youth. He was tall and straight, and he had a stocky build like a human bear.
The other was an old man with a white beard. He was stooped, and he held an ebony walking stick in his hand. He looked like he was about to die.
Their skin was also pitch-black.
"It's the emissary of Black Rope Region!
Rumor has it that because of the geography and climate of Black Rope Region, their skin is black. It seems to be true. "
"That long-bearded middle-aged man seems to be the deputy territory lord of Black Rope Region, Xiao Buye, and Sect Ancestor Xiao!"
"The other two seem to be the thirteen sacred emissaries of Black Rope Region, Ming Wang Sacred Emissary and Tian Sha Sacred Emissary. Both of them are peerless experts of the Zenith Heaven Realm."
The crowd below discussed animatedly, their faces filled with excitement.
"Deputy Region Master Xiao is overpraising me. I'm indebted to everyone's trust to hold the Three Realms Meet in my Asura City. Naturally, I have to be frank with everyone," Yin Chengquan said with a smile on his indifferent face.
"I hope that territory lord Yin doesn't forget your words." The void above the high platform flashed again, and three figures appeared.
The person who spoke was a white-haired Youth. He was extremely handsome, but his expression was desolate. It was as if he had experienced endless sorrow, and he gave off a feeling that his heart had died.
Two people stood behind the white-haired Youth. One of them was a middle-aged man with ordinary features, but his body was extremely tall and sturdy. He wore a pitch-black armor, and his huge figure was like an iron tower. He gave off a feeling that he was as steady as a mountain.
The other person was a woman in a white dress. She had a slim figure, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. However, her eyes were slightly long and narrow, and she gave off a piercingly cold feeling.
If Han Li was here, he would definitely recognize that this woman was none other than Jiao San.
