Chapter 964: Times Have Changed, and People’s Hearts Have Grown Cold!
Su Yi didn’t need to ask about Nangong Ningyue and the Cangyue Mercenary Group. From the discussions around him, he had already heard quite a bit and had a general understanding.
This Cangyue Mercenary Group is quite famous in this area and has many strong members, numbering in the hundreds.
This kind of power holds a certain position in the entire Chaos Realm.
Chaos Realm is a place where the strong are respected and it is extremely chaotic.
Especially a force like a mercenary group, it is even more complex. Normal forces don’t want to provoke a mercenary group.
But this Cangyue Mercenary Group seems to have a good reputation nearby. Their leader, Nangong Ningyue, is well-known. Despite being young, she has made a name for herself in just a few years.
Nangong Ningyue, being a young woman, has a high prestige among a group of fierce men. She is decisive and people who have dealt with her speak highly and admire her.
However, it seems that Cangyue Mercenary Group has offended the Seven Star Sword Sect and was massacred by them. The remaining strong members of the mercenary group were publicly displayed in Sword Star City.
Su Yi looked at Nangong Ningyue, their eyes met and his gaze was direct. This woman, although not old, is able to make a name for herself in the chaotic world, so she must have some remarkable means.
But now, in this miserable situation, it is all about strength. The Seven Star Sword Sect seems to be powerful, and Cangyue Mercenary Group has no power to resist against them.
With mixed feelings in his heart, Su Yi had grown accustomed to avoiding trouble. He quietly entered the city amidst the bustling crowd.
Nangong Ningyue’s gaze was fixed on Su Yi. Her eyes were half-closed, with a scab forming over a bloodstain. She tried to open her eyes wider.
In Nangong Ningyue’s resilient yet calm eyes, there was a slight flicker. She continued to watch as Su Yi’s figure disappeared beneath the city gate, and then returned to her calm state.
Inside Sword Star City, the sky was slowly turning dusk, yet the atmosphere seemed to grow livelier.
The wide streets were lined with neatly arranged shops, offering everything one could need for daily life. It was completely different from the outside world.
Outside the city, treachery and danger awaited, with demon beasts roaming freely.
Inside the city, however, it was a scene of bustling activity, filled with lights and wine.
Sword Star City was even more bustling than Su Yi had imagined. In his mind, places like Chaos Realm, though vast, couldn’t compare to the prosperity he witnessed.
Yet the bustling scene of Sword Star City shattered Su Yi’s expectations. Although it was not as grand as Central Region City, it was not inferior to other major cities in Central Region. In fact, it was even more prosperous, accompanied by a fierce atmosphere.
Above the Central Region, fighting is not allowed in any city, but in Sword Star City, Su Yi has already seen several disputes and fights while strolling around. However, both sides showed restraint, otherwise they could have destroyed the streets.
However, engaging in fights without permission seems to come at a cost. Someone appears and charges a fee in the name of damaging the city streets.
The fee seems to be high, and the people who are charged look upset and in pain, but they dare not refuse to pay.
"It’s so lively here."
Su Xiaoshuai pokes his head out of Su Yi’s arms, looking around. If it weren’t for Su Yi holding him back, he would have already flown out.
"Boss, this is too frustrating."
Su Xiaoshuai is very frustrated, pouting his small mouth and rolling his eyes around.
"You must not reveal your true form, otherwise we would be in big trouble."
Su Yi has to remind Su Xiaoshuai, then continues, "When you reach the Demonic Emperor Realm, you will be able to transform into human form, and then we won’t have to be like this… Wait, when you break through to the Demonic Void Realm, it seems like you don’t have to undergo a tribulation."
Any creature from the Demon race needs to go through a trial when breaking through the Demonic Void Realm.
Only then did Su Yi remember that the Blood Spiritual Ginseng had gone through the trial, but Su Xiaoshuai, with his peak strength in the Demonic Void Realm, had never seen him go through it.
Hearing this, Su Xiaoshuai lifted his little head and glanced at Su Yi triumphantly, saying, "Ordinary creatures from the demon race need to go through the trial, but I am a phoenix. Unless I reach a very high level, I don’t need to go through the trial at all."
"So you’re saying that if you enter the Demonic Emperor Realm, you don’t need to go through the trial either?" Su Yi asked again, surprised.
"Of course," Su Xiaoshuai proudly replied.
"…"
Su Yi was speechless. Compared to Su Xiaoshuai, this guy was favored by the heavens. How long had it been since he hatched from his shell? He didn’t even practice much, and yet he had already reached the peak of the Demonic Void Realm. He could even ignore the trials that the demon race needed to go through.
"Sigh… Birds are luckier than people…"
Su Yi sighed. As the saying goes, comparing oneself to others only brings frustration. And if you compare yourself to a bird, it’s even more frustrating.
"Young man, I can tell just by looking at you that you are extraordinary, definitely a rare talent among people."
Suddenly, in the bustling street, an old man in his fifties swiftly ran up to Su Yi and praised him with a smile on his face.
"Is there something you need?"
Su Yi subtly took a step back, feeling cautious.
"Young man, your bones are unique. As an old man who has observed countless people, I have never seen someone with your talents. However…"
The old man, cunning in his appearance, was thin and had a pair of small, gleaming eyes. Lowering his voice and speaking mysteriously to Su Yi, he said, "To be honest, I accidentally obtained a cultivation method. Unfortunately, I am already old and no longer suitable for practice. But this cultivation method is extraordinary and rare. I assure you that if you practice it, in ten years you will be able to reach the Yuan True Realm, in thirty years the Yuan Void Realm, and even the Yuan Emperor Realm."
"Goodbye."
Hearing this, Su Yi already had an idea in his mind. He didn’t expect that even in a place like the Chaos Realm, there would be scammers. Not wanting to bother, he immediately left.
"Young man, slow down! I haven’t even mentioned the price yet. The price is negotiable…"
Gazing at Su Yi’s back, the old man with a sad expression mumbled to himself, "People nowadays, the world is going downhill, their hearts are not like before, becoming more and more shrewd, not easily deceived anymore."
The sky was getting darker, gradually turning into night. The city was already bustling with lanterns, with bright lights shining like daylight.
The shops on both sides of the streets were still busy and lively.
Finally making a trip to the city, Su Yi also bought many things.
Su Yi bought more than ten sets of robes and clothes for changing.
By chance, he even came across an ironware shop and casually bought a few big iron pots for convenient meat stewing in the future. Then, he found a somewhat hidden grocery store around the corner and bought a lot of cooking ingredients with great interest.
Seeing Su Yi buying cooking ingredients, the shop owner couldn’t help but be astonished.
Normally, it’s just ordinary housewives who come to buy these cooking ingredients.
In this huge Sword Star City, there are also many ordinary people who maintain the operation of this big city.
People who practice cultivation, except for those with very low abilities, no one is willing to do rough and miscellaneous work.
