Chapter 534



534 Book ruins, Purple Star Tower City

Tang Zhen was wearing a leather armor as he rode on his Mount and slowly advanced on a path that had been created by someone stepping on the gentle ground between the two mountains.

At this time, he was dressed no different from a wild cultivator. The only difference was that his face did not show any signs of being weathered, and his every move carried a faint power.

Every time a Wanderer encountered him along the way, he would subconsciously hide at the side and let Tang Zhen go first.

Even when he met cultivators, they would be on guard and secretly look at him before passing by.

Compared to the region where the moon god Tower City was located, the living environment here was much more dangerous, and there would often be the shadow of pillaging groups.

Tang Zhen turned a blind eye to this. He merely continued to hurry on his way while enjoying the scenery along the way.

When he met someone who didn’t know what was good for him, he would just cut them down with his saber and leave their corpses in the wilderness.

Tang Zhen didn’t call fatty and the others for the assassination of Purple Star Earl. Instead, he had them return to Holy Dragon City first.

The assassination operation must be secretive and Swift, and they must retreat immediately after succeeding. Although the Holy Dragon City cultivators were large in number, they could not help much. On the contrary, they would attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.

Although the other party’s cultivation was inferior to Tang Zhen’s, he was still the Lord of a City Tower. There were countless cultivators in the city Tower under him, and he definitely could not be underestimated.

Once the elven cultivators discovered that the purple Star count had been killed, they would definitely do their best to search the entire area, not letting go of anyone.

Under such circumstances, Tang Zhen could easily escape. However, the Holy Dragon City cultivators under him would be in danger.

He activated the [ all-purpose electronic kit ] and connected to the conference room in the Holy Dragon City. Tang Zhen had a video call with all the senior management and also dealt with the official business of the past few days.

The current Holy Dragon City was actively preparing for war, preparing for the complete control of the Wildlands. At the same time, new transmigrators were coming to the tower world in a steady stream.

They were now gradually adapting to the new environment and then throwing themselves into their respective jobs.

After closing the application, Tang Zhen glanced at the wild building that was built on the hill in front of him and continued to rush forward.

The sound of footsteps was transmitted over. A group of cultivators in disheveled clothes and armor walked out from the mountain path. After sweeping a glance at Tang Zhen, they began to hurry on their way without saying anything.

These foreign cultivators had obviously gone through a fierce battle. Many of them had wounds of different depths. Perhaps due to the limited conditions, they had only dressed their wounds simply.

There was nothing special about these foreign cultivators, but the items they were carrying made Tang Zhen quite interested.

It turned out that these foreign cultivators were all carrying some tattered daily necessities on their backs. The style was very simple, and some of them were even carrying books that looked very ancient.

From the damage and style of the books, Tang Zhen confirmed that these books should be quite old.

“Are you guys going to sell these books? I’ll give you a good price.”

Tang Zhen asked one of the female foreign cultivators who was wearing leather armor and holding a book after taking a few glances.

It was unknown what race this woman was from. She had no hair on her head, but it was filled with strange tattoos. Her ears were pointed like those of the elf race.

After hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the female cultivator sized him up and asked in a hoarse voice,”Human cultivator, you’ve taken a fancy to these precious books?”

Under Tang Zhen’s deliberate suppression, the other party was unable to see through his cultivation. Hence, he used such a tone to talk.

After the other foreign cultivators heard the conversation between the two, they all focused their eyes on Tang Zhen and sized him up.

Tang Zhen smiled when he heard this. When this foreign female cultivator mentioned the word “precious,” she was clearly going to ask for an exorbitant price!

that’s right. I’m interested in these tattered books. Name a price!

The female cultivator thought for a moment and offered the price she wanted, ” “As long as you take out 1000 brain beads, these precious books will be yours!”

The reason why she gave this price was to deliberately raise it high, leaving room for bargaining.

It was just a pile of worthless books in her eyes. How could they be worth a thousand brain beads? she only saw that Tang Zhen looked like a rich man, so she took the opportunity to ask for a high price.

If Tang Zhen agreed to this price, she would naturally earn a lot of money. If she were to haggle, she would at least get a quarter of her income. She wouldn’t lose anything no matter how she looked at it.

However, she did not know that different things had different values in the eyes of different people.

These books were like waste paper in her eyes, but they were worth thousands of gold in Tang Zhen’s eyes.

Even if the other party was playing tricks, Tang Zhen wouldn’t care about such a small matter. Therefore, after the female cultivator gave the price, Tang Zhen directly threw out the head and sucked the stack of books tied with rattan into his hand.

The female cultivator only felt her vision blur and the book in her hand disappeared. At the same time, a bright brain appeared in her hand.

She looked at the head in a daze before putting it into her pocket. At the same time, she bowed to Tang Zhen, appearing very respectful.

At this moment, how could she not see that Tang Zhen was a cultivator whose strength far exceeded theirs? the other party did not hold it against her because of this matter, but she could not continue to act stupid.

As for returning the brain Pearl to Tang Zhen, there was no need for that. The transaction had already been completed, and Tang Zhen had also agreed to the price she offered.

At this time, it was meaningless to return the brain Pearl out of fear. What the other party cared about was her attitude, not the brain Pearl that was not worth mentioning!

The female cultivator’s companion also witnessed this scene. She also bowed to Tang Zhen with a serious expression to express the respect in her heart.

Tang Zhen waved his hand in an unconcerned manner. After opening the book, he began to flip through it on his Mount.

Seeing this, the foreign cultivators heaved a sigh of relief and continued on their way.

Due to Tang Zhen controlling the speed of his Mount, both parties “speed was basically the same, maintaining a distance of over ten meters.

About ten minutes later, Tang Zhen suddenly turned his head to look at the foreign female cultivator and casually asked,”Can you tell me where you got these books?”

The female cultivator glanced at the brawny man in the team and saw him nod slightly. She then replied, ” these books were found in a pile of ruins. There are dozens of them in total, but only these few are still in good condition.

Tang Zhen nodded and casually asked, what ruins? a wild building? ”

The female cultivator shook her head and said in an uncertain tone, ” it doesn’t look like a wild building, but more like the ruins of a city. And looking at the extent of the ruins, I’m afraid it has been abandoned for at least a hundred years!

Tang Zhen’s brows twitched as a strange expression flashed across his eyes. He then looked at the foreign tribe female cultivator, I’m going to take some time to go to the ruins. Can you be my guide? we can discuss the price.

The foreign cultivators discussed in hushed voices before nodding in agreement.

The value of the ruins wasn’t high, and it wasn’t worth keeping it a secret, because many Wanderers knew about it.

If they could take the opportunity to befriend a powerful cultivator, it would definitely be a good thing for them. They could even take some tasks from the other party from time to time and earn a generous reward.

After the two sides agreed on a time and place to meet, they split up on the road to the nearby tower. These foreign cultivators were going to the nearby tower’s trading market, while Tang Zhen was going to continue to the purple Star Tower.

For the rest of the journey, Tang Zhen continued to leisurely walk forward. He would stop to taste and admire the delicious food and beautiful scenery along the way, appearing to be enjoying it.

After walking and stopping for a while, Tang Zhen finally arrived at the area where the purple Star Tower was located.

Yue qianhua, who hadn’t received any news of the assassination attempt during this period of time, was probably already starting to feel uneasy.

Tang Zhen stretched his lazy waist on his Mount as he looked at the enormous building that was like an ancient castle in the middle world. He slowly walked into the trading market in front of the building.
