CHAPTER 291: GOSSIP 2

After arriving in the Tianxuan continent, those cultivators would become retainers of the forces that lent the way.

Basically, the fare for teleportation was the freedom of the remainder of their lives.

Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t like this deal, hence they never thought of approaching a city lord to get a quota.

After talking about the city lord, the conversation shifted to cultivators who had entered the formation tower.

According to gossip, some famous formation masters had already cleared the tower and gained their teleportation quotas.

However, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t know these people, so they didn’t take it to heart.

Lunch was sumptuous, and the accompanying wine was delicious.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two left the restaurant and began roaming the city.

Once in a while, they entered a store to sell goods and maybe buy something.

In this way, the afternoon turned to evening, and the group returned to the inn.

Again, everyone gathered in Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu’s room.

"Master, I heard something good." Yang Shi reported in an excited voice.

Hearing this, Shen Xu raised an eyebrow and urged Yang Shi to speak.

"The Bai family is gone." The snake said, and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.

"What?" He asked in a confused voice.

"Gone." Yang Shi repeated and quickly continued.

"They finally hit the iron plate and ended up killing themselves."

"What happened?"

"Several Bai young masters went out for training and encountered another group. One of the cultivators in the other group had a powerful contract beast- I think it was a firebird."

"Anyway, according to their usual practice, the Bai family robbed the other group and killed the contract owner."

’Here comes the twist?’ Shen Xu thought with an excited expression.

"As it turned out, the firebird owner was the grandson of the supreme elder of the Myriad Tools sect."

"A supreme elder?" Shen Xu couldn’t help but be shocked, and Yang Shi nodded before continuing.

"An old fusion realm ancestor." He said and burst into laughter.

Back then, the Bai family found him and wanted to forcibly contract him.

Since then, Yang Shi held a deep grudge against the Bai family and always wanted to eliminate them.

Unexpectedly, before he could, a fusion realm ancestor flattened the Bai family’s ancestral mountain and eliminated the bloodline.

"No one was spared." Yang Shi said, and Shen Xu smiled in satisfaction.

"That fusion realm ancestor is justified. Annihilating the Bai family is eliminating harm for the people."

"Are you so happy?" Zhen Yuan asked, rubbing Shen Xu’s hair.

"How can I not be happy?" The double asked and quickly continued.

"Those bastards wanted to strip my contract and forcibly obtain Yang Shi. They deserve a miserable death."

Zhen Yuan nodded when he heard this.

Back then, he and Shen Xu had just arrived in the Tianqi continent, and their strength was so low that they could barely protect themselves.

If not for the low strength, Zhen Yuan would not have stopped at just killing the involved people.

After all, the culprits learned their cruel methods from the usual practice of the Bai family.

Considering that, the Bai family was just as guilty as the specific young masters who wanted to forcibly contract Yang Shi.

"When did the massacre happen?" Zhen Yuan asked, recalling that he and Shen Xu didn’t hear this gossip when they were walking around the city.

"The original massacre happened four hundred years ago. However, the supreme elder didn’t leave it at that. He went back to slaughter the Bai family, who returned from the Yunshan secret realm."

"This is what the ancients mean when they talk about cutting the grass and removing the roots." Shen Xu praised.

"Cultivators should be ruthless when dealing with enemies. Otherwise, the roots will sprout into new grass after the spring breeze." Feng Xue said.

After gloating over the Bai family’s downfall, the conversation shifted to other things.

"Did you sell your goods?" Shen Xu asked, and Yang Shi immediately nodded.

"We sold everything." He said and threw a storage ring to the double.

Seeing the content, Shen Xu nodded.

"Not bad." He said, divided the spirit stones into three portions and gave them to the three.

"Keep it for your cultivation." He said, but Li Wenqiang tried to return his storage ring.

"I don’t need it." He said, but Shen Xu didn’t take the space ring.

"You don’t absorb spirit stones, but you can use them to buy soul cultivation resources."

"I understand." LI Wenqiang nodded.

Early the next morning, Yang Shi, Feng Xue, and Li Wenqiang entered the space while Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu changed their disguises before leaving the inn.

Soon after, they arrived at the teleportation ground.

The teleportation ground was near the city centre.

At a glance, there were seven large teleportation formations and two dozen small ones.

After arriving, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan looked around before walking to one of the large formations.

"Fellow Daoists, do you want to go to Inscription Tower City?" An attendant asked, and Shen Xu nodded.

"How much will it cost to teleport to Inscription Tower City?"

"The formation needs one hundred million to teleport ten people. You can pay the entire amount or wait for others to share the cost."

"How many people have already registered?"

"Six." The formation attendant said and quickly continued.

"If you register, you may have to wait an hour or so for two more people to register."

Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu frowned when they heard this.

If possible, they didn’t want to sit and wait.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuan prepared to pay for two extra places, but before he could, two people arrived.

Seeing this, Shen Xu smiled.

’Our dragon vein is working overtime.’ He thought.

After everyone registered and paid, they entered the teleportation formation and waited for the attendant to activate it.

Soon after, a white light enveloped the ten, and they disappeared from the Formation Tower City.

However, they didn’t instantaneously reappear in another city.
