Chapter 425: Not a Big Deal to Borrow More Money When the Debt Is Already High

In the Heavenly-Seeking Sword Palace, there was a forbidden zone which all the people in the world were terrified of; it was named the Sword Tomb.

However, most people only knew about the infamous name of the Sword Tomb and didn’t know why it was so scary.

Only the real major forces knew its secrets.

The winding paths inside Heavenly-Seeking Sword Palace were like a maze. The Sword Tomb was deep inside a mountain within the territory of this force, and the light turned dimmer as the path winded down.

The space at the foot of the mountain was as deep as an abyss. An unfathomable darkness and ominous presence threatened to swallow any people venturing inside.

There was no light at the bottom of the mountain, as if the people themselves were too afraid of something to light any lights.

It seemed that they were afraid to disturb something.

Only when they released some weak spiritual senses could they barely recognize the engravings on the walls; they looked like characters but were not in any language in the current world.

There were tombs that looked like small hills.

There were altogether 108 tombs in the huge underground space.

However, most of the tombs had been destroyed, and only about ten were left standing.

In the darkness, one could hear the clanking noise of metal chains.

Many people, young and old, knelt before the tombs in tattered clothes and in chains.

…

“It’s said… the Immortal-Hacking Sword Array of the Heavenly-Seeking Sword Palace once killed an immortal. Is it true?” When Fang Qi turned to leave, Li Lanruo asked curiously.

For the cultivators in the current world, true immortals existed only in distant legends, let alone the act of killing an immortal. Most people regarded these tales in the distant past as legends.

“According to the legends, it’s true…” Elder Li Wuya said, “It’s said that an ancestral master named Earth Two Eight from the Nangong Family controlled the array, and the Heavenly-Seeking Sword Palace paid a heavy price in that battle…

“It was so long ago that no one knows if it is true. Besides, it is glory of the past. Even if the descendants have inherited the array, it is probably not as powerful as it was…”

…

Faint mysterious light came from the dilapidated tombs; the brighter the lights became, the brighter were the eyes of the people chained before the tombs. Under the faint light, one could see that the tombs didn’t contain humans.

One could only recognize the characters on a few tombstones out of the dozen-or-so tombs, which were Earth Three Seven, Earth Two Eight, Sky One Six…

…

– Heavenly-Seeking Sword Palace –

In the great hall, a dignified middle-aged man with a square face was listening to the report of a cultivator of the Nangong Family, and he looked calm.

“Where are they? Have you found out who this person is?”

“Even though Second Elder used the spiritual light recall spell, we still can’t find the attacker (After all, even the audience watching the livestream didn’t see how Mr. Fang attacked). However, we saw the person who Nangong Jiuwen attacked, and we’ll find the true murderer by tracking this man down! But…”

“But what?” the middle-aged man asked coldly.

“If the attacker is from one of the major families, I’m afraid that it will be troublesome…”

“I don’t care what background the attacker has,” the middle-aged man said in a cold voice, “Even if the Heavenly Academy is involved, let alone the major families, they would have to hand over the murderer if it were their doing. The major families are indeed powerful, but my Nangong Family won’t let anyone get away from murdering more than 100 members of my family!”

He waved his hand. “Do as the Second Elder said. Go and send a message to Zhuo’er; tell him that I’ll send two sword slaves to him. It will be great if he can find the murderer. If not, he can bring back the people revealed by the spiritual light recall spell.”

“Yes!”

“By the way, take the Mystic Fate Jade before the news gets out.”

“Yes!”

He narrowed his eyes. “If this is your trump card, I’ll let you know how ridiculous it is!”

…

Oblivious to the things that were happening, Mr. Fang’s top priority as a professional shop owner was buying a shop and opening it. While he was doing that, he would consider how to prevent Xiaoyue from being bullied after entering the academy. He didn’t care about other things.

“Wow… This must be a big city, eh?” After walking out of Taiwang Inn, Mr. Fang looked around and murmured to himself.

This city was not only big but very prosperous.

There were all kinds of shops selling things including spiritual artifacts, demon beasts, and elixirs. It was obviously the busiest time of the year for the districts outside Taiwang Inn.

Clearly, there was no shop for sale around the inn.

Fang Qi had no choice but to go further out. After walking around for a long time and making a large loop, he still didn’t find any shop for sale or for lease.

When he was about to return to Taiwang Inn, Mr. Fang saw a small old man with grey hair bawling while sitting inside a shop which had been turned upside-down.

People walked over, wondering what had happened.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s said this old guy is so ignorant that he offended someone from the Nangong Family…”

“What people from the Nangong Family? They are just Nangong Family’s dogs…”

“Shush… Be careful with your words.”

“It’s said this old guy worked his butt off most of his life and finally moved his shop to Yuanyang City. But now, he obviously can’t keep it open anymore… He will be bothered by the people who are trying to flatter the Nangong Family, let alone members of the Nangong Family.”

“There’s nothing that he can do. After all, they are a big force and can do anything they want…”

Mr. Fang thought, How come I run into these people wherever I go?

“In my opinion, he should just sell the shop and leave this place to avoid all the troubles in the future!”

“Sell the shop?” someone said with a snicker, “Do you dare to buy it? Do you dare to interfere with the business of the Nangong Family?”

The moment he said it, a figure walked over. “Hello, Senior. Is your shop for sale?”

“…” The cultivator who had been snickering froze while he stared at the young man. “Is this man a moron?”

“Where did he come from?”

The old man stared at Fang Qi in disbelief and said, “Young Man, do… you really want to buy it?!”

He pointed at the people around him. “Didn’t you hear what they said?”

Mr. Fang shrugged. “My Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild never fears anyone.”

Anyway, he had killed more than 100 of them, and it was not a big deal to kill more and create more conflict.

All the people around them fell silent.

“Thank you! Thank you very much!” The old man was full of gratitude. “Please… will you come in?”
