CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 403 LEI ZHANSHEN OFFERS A PLAN

Meanwhile, within the chaotic district of Heavenly Bull City, at this moment a man sneakily entered a dilapidated courtyard.

If the Primordial Saint were here, he would definitely recognize that this sneaky man was none other than Lei Zhanshen, once from Hunyuan Mountain.

This Lei Zhanshen, leaving Hunyuan Mountain for the second time, did not expect to come to Heavenly Bull City again, but this time he was smarter; he did not enter the Qi family’s domain.

You should know that he witnessed the defeat of Qi Yun and his two companions, in his heart, they were certainly dead. If this news were to reach the Qi family, wouldn’t his return to the Qi family be a death sentence?

Therefore, Lei Zhanshen entered the chaos district, a dangerous place but also a gathering spot for countless Loose Cultivators, where factions formed and the situation was very chaotic.

These factions are different from major powers; they have no rules at all. You see today’s gang leader, but tomorrow, the leader might be replaced. In this chaotic district, fists are the only logic that counts.

At this moment, Lei Zhanshen, after entering the courtyard, looked around in shock and surprise.

"Human Emperor? Could it be him?"

Lei Zhanshen took a deep breath, having encountered that young man twice, Lei Zhanshen felt a rising fear towards him; he knew well that if he encountered Ren Changsheng at this moment, his death would be certain.

"Lei Zhanshen, what are you doing?"

But just then, a cold shout came through, as a man walked into the courtyard, looking down on Lei Zhanshen with disdain in his eyes.

Lei Zhanshen’s cultivation was only at the fifth level of Heavenly Dao, which might make him a strong figure in Hunyuan Mountain, but in Heavenly Bull City, that was nothing, without any status to speak of.

"Lord Dong!"

Upon seeing the man, Lei Zhanshen quickly plastered a flattering smile on his face.

"Hmph... Cut the slick talk, pay the rent!"

Lord Dong spoke with an indifferent tone.

"The rent!"

Lei Zhanshen’s face immediately darkened. Indeed, despite its shabbiness, this small courtyard was not his; he was renting it.

Unlike other areas, the chaotic district was extremely dangerous and chaotic. To survive here, one had to rely on the protection of the major gangs, and the man before him, Lord Dong, was one of the leaders of the three major gangs in the chaotic district, the Evil Wolf Gang!

The Evil Wolf Gang was no weaker than any other lesser power; its leader was a formidable figure of the eighth level of Heavenly Dao, commanding countless followers. Even the lesser powers in the lower district did not dare to provoke them.

Moreover, the chaos district was far more lucrative than the lower areas.

People like Lei Zhanshen, who had just arrived, if they wished to live quietly in the chaos district, they had no choice but to rely on the major gangs.

Lei Zhanshen was relying on the Evil Wolf Gang, which provided him with this small courtyard to ensure his safety in the chaotic district. In return, Lei Zhanshen had to provide the gang with three top-grade Primordial Source God Stones each month. Upon arriving, Lei Zhanshen had already paid the rent once.

And now, as the time came again, if he couldn’t pay the rent, he would lose the protection of the Evil Wolf Gang and his fate would be all too clear.

"This..."

"Can it be extended for a few days?"

Lei Zhanshen said in a low voice, three top-grade Primordial Source God Stones were no small number; one top-grade stone was equivalent to a hundred middle-grade stones.

One middle-grade Primordial Source God Stone was equivalent to a hundred lower-grade stones.

By this account, that’s thirty thousand lower-grade Primordial Source God Stones a month, an exorbitant price - remember, Hunyuan Mountain paid the Qi family only a hundred top-grade Primordial Source God Stones every ten thousand years!

Lei Zhanshen had saved up quite a bit, but that only sustained him for a month, continuing to pay would be unaffordable.

"Extension? Kid, if you don’t have the God Stones then get lost!"

Lord Dong said coldly.

"You..."

In Lei Zhanshen’s eyes, there was boundless anger at this moment, but regrettably, he also had no recourse. After all, even the lowest-ranking forces dared not provoke the Malefic Wolf Gang.

What’s more, him?

If he offended this Mister Dong, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

"Mister Dong, have you heard of the Human Emperor’s Palace? I know the details of this Human Emperor’s Palace; I wonder if this information could possibly..."

Flashes of light flickered in Lei Zhanshen’s eyes.

Leave Heavenly Bull City? Lei Zhanshen had considered it, but he knew very well that once he left Heavenly Bull City, he would be without protection, and if he encountered the Human Emperor’s Palace, death was certain.

At this moment, he thought of the Human Emperor’s Palace. He couldn’t be sure whether it was Ren Changsheng’s Human Emperor’s Palace or not, but Lei Zhanshen had no choice but to gamble.

"Human Emperor’s Palace..."

Mister Dong, who originally wanted to send people away, had a glint flash in his eyes. The Human Emperor’s Palace? Wasn’t that the force that had taken over the triangular area? Such a bold move!

Because of this, the leader of the Malefic Wolf Gang, the Malefic Wolf himself, was enraged. One should know that not even his Malefic Wolf Gang dared to occupy that region, and yet a mere Human Emperor’s Palace dared to do so?

And yet, the Malefic Wolf Gang was unable to find out any information about this Human Emperor’s Palace. They even reached out through connections to people of the divine temple, but even those people did not reveal any information.

That Human Emperor’s Palace, it seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Do you really know the news of this Human Emperor’s Palace?"

Mister Dong said in a cold tone.

"Would I dare to deceive Mister Dong? I do indeed know the news of this Human Emperor’s Palace, but this place is not safe. Please, sir, take me to meet the gang leader!"

Lei Zhanshen said through clenched teeth, looking at Mister Dong.

"Meet the gang leader? Hmph... What makes you think you’re worthy of meeting the gang leader!"

Mister Dong sneered.

"Mister Dong, the news of this Human Emperor’s Palace is extremely important. If you don’t take me to meet the gang leader, I, Lei Zhanshen, will leave right now, but I absolutely won’t reveal a single word!"

Lei Zhanshen said through clenched teeth.

At this moment, all he could do was gamble!

"Hmph..."

Mister Dong’s face turned somewhat sullen, but without Lei Zhanshen speaking, Mister Dong had no recourse at this moment. Besides, the Malefic Wolf Gang was indeed eager for news of the Human Emperor’s Palace.

What exactly was the background of this Human Emperor’s Palace?

"Follow me!"

With a cold shout, Mister Dong turned and walked out of the courtyard.

"Thank you, sir!"

Joy filled Lei Zhanshen’s eyes, and he quickly followed.

In Heavenly Bull City, in the chaotic district, from the lower-ranking areas to the middle-ranking areas, almost all forces were inquiring about the Human Emperor’s Palace. Even the nine major forces from the upper-ranking areas were seeking information on the Human Emperor’s Palace.

Not only that, but the triangular area was also bustling with activity at this moment, as numerous people gathered there.

These people actually came to watch the excitement.

One should know that despite the vastness of Heavenly Bull City, no force had ever touched this small triangular area, but today, a force finally dared to occupy it.
