CHAPTER 454: 452, CONTINUING TOWARDS CLOUD SEA CITY

If Cloud Sea City can produce a few Mountain Suppression Realm experts, it would undoubtedly sell for a sky-high price.

Even putting aside the special abilities, after all, in this world, the Vortex Map only has a singular amplification function, and the modified Vortex Map has only sold a few so far.

"Let’s go."

Putting away the Vortex Map, Wen Ping immediately walked out of Tingyu Pavilion.

Whenever Wen Ping decides to do something, he likes to get on with it right away.

It’s midday now, a great time to make a fortune by heading to Cloud Sea City, surely big money awaits.

Thinking of this, Wen Ping smiled.

Honestly, even when a Three-star Sect comes knocking, he remains calm, but the thought of making money excites him uncontrollably.

Especially this round trip will certainly be 30,000 miles.

This trip will allow the Five Leaf Sail to be upgraded.

"Sect Leader, it’s time to eat."

Just as he stepped down from Tingyu Pavilion, Zhao Qing came running over.

Wen Ping nodded and decided to follow her to grab a bite while giving some instructions.

Once in the kitchen, everyone gathered around.

"Everyone, sit. I will be away from the Sect for a few days, Elder Yun and Elder Qin, please take care of everyone in my absence," Wen Ping explained eloquently.

Yu Mo and the others frowned but nodded in acknowledgment.

They were actually more concerned about the Cultivation Areas like Wind Valley rather than this.

Yu Mo asked, "Sect Leader, should Wind Valley be closed?"

Upon hearing about the closure of Wind Valley, some people’s expressions changed.

"Sect Leader, I still have a task there..."

It was Lan Peng who said this.

After joining the Immortal Sect, he naturally came to address Wen Ping as the Sect Leader.

He was lucky enough to pick up a task to find the third trial in Wind Valley, which did not require White Crystals to enter, with the reward being White Crystals.

However, the time limit for this was seven days, and three days had already passed.

So talk of Wind Valley’s closure made him particularly sensitive.

Wen Ping said, "It won’t be closed this time. If anyone wants to enter, pay White Crystals in advance."

As soon as he said that, everyone burst into laughter.

Not closing the valley was indeed good news.

Unanimously, they all stepped forward to pay the White Crystals, and Wen Ping went on to say, "Elder Yun, I will leave Haha at the Immortal Sect; please take care of everyone these days."

"Yes."

Yun Liao nodded.

He glanced at the Mountain Dog Haha lying to one side.

With it there, he felt reassured.

"Where are you going again?" came a voice from outside the door.

It was Long Ke.

For this impolite tone, Wen Ping chose to respond with an icy glare.

This aunt had no respect.

In the Immortal Sect, he was the top!

"Zhao Keqing, if you’re this rude again, you’d better seek another position."

"I..."

Long Ke swallowed her displeasure before stepping forward, addressing him again.

"Sect Leader Wen, where are you going again?"

Of course, she sounded defiant.

However, she had to suppress her annoyance because knowing where Wen Ping was heading was crucial.

Could he cause so much trouble after just one trip to Xuanse Lake?

And now he dares to go out again!

"I’m heading to Cloud Sea City. Zhao Keqing, interested in joining?"

Wen Ping said as he stored the handed-over White Crystals and Gold Tickets in the Storage Ring.

"Cloud Sea City?" Long Ke searched her memory for this place, and after a while, realizing it wasn’t far nor significant, decided to drop the matter. "No interest, you go yourself. However, people from Xuanse Lake might come to East Lake these days..."

"If you’re not going, then Zhao Keqing, feel free to do as you please."

Taking Long Ke along would show prestige.

It would also ensure safety.

But if Long Ke was unwilling, taking some Palace Guards would be equally fine.

With that, Wen Ping walked out of the kitchen.

"Hey."

Long Ke quickly called out twice, feeling speechless towards Wen Ping.

Could it be she hadn’t expressed herself clearly?

Why did her last warning seem entirely unheard?

"Zhao Keqing, aren’t you eating?"

Just as she wanted to follow out, Yun Liao’s voice reached her, along with the aroma of the red Spirit Rice wafting in.

She turned back to see Wen Ping’s receding figure.

She found herself in a dilemma.

"Forget it, I’ll eat first."

Saying that, Long Ke hurried to the dining table.

On the other side, after boarding the Flying Ship, Wen Ping headed directly for Cloud Sea City.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Cloud Sea City was particularly bustling.

Of course, the hustle and bustle here were extraordinary; rarely had a single Half-Step Mountain Suppression Realm expert been seen, yet seven or eight had appeared in the past few days.

Rumor even had it that a Mountain Suppression Realm expert had arrived.

The former was true, personally received by the Deputy City Lord, but as for the latter, its truth was uncertain at the moment.

Upon returning, Yun Hai Cang Lan had been busy to exhaustion, first giving those Two-star and Three-star influences an explanation before rushing back to receive the Half-Step Mountain Suppression experts.

Their single purpose here was to purchase the Vortex Map while seeing the two Vortex Maps Yun Hai Cang Lan had bought.

Yun Hai Cang Lan simply placed the Demon-slaying Crossbow in the square outside the City Lord’s Mansion.

For easy viewing by those people.

As for the Wind Attribute Vortex Map, he could only call his son out to perform individually for them—activating that somewhat transparent Meridian Gate, controlling the wind a little. Occasionally, he let his son fight a Profound Realm guard of the same Realm, showing them how special the new Anomalous Vein was.

This back-and-forth left Yun Hai Cang Lan’s son.

At 30, Yun Hai Po Mo couldn’t take it anymore.

"Father, isn’t he supposed to come in a month? The seniors have been here in Cloud Sea City for half a month, watching me fight every day. They aren’t tired, but I’m going crazy."

At 30, in his prime, yet he looked utterly exhausted.

His question was filled with helplessness.

"Sect Leader Wen should be busy and unable to come; bear with it a bit longer, I’ll personally go find him in a few days." The matter of Cloud Sea City’s allegiance had to be addressed, and once completed, he could conveniently fetch a few Vortex Maps from Sect Leader Wen for auction.

As for his son’s hardship.

It didn’t matter.

Young people, what’s a little hardship?

Moreover, this was an opportunity; as the unique Wind Attribute Anomalous Vein rose in reputation, the Four-star Giant Influences would soon approach.

Sending his son into a Four-star Giant Influence would mean another strong backing for Cloud Sea City.

With a bitter smile, Yun Hai Po Mo was about to leave and said as a parting shot, "Father, you better hurry... I have had enough."

What’s more unbearable than being a performer?

Truly letting him kill enemies daily would be fine.

But making him repeatedly beat his own people with the wind, what was that about?

"Fine."

Yun Hai Cang Lan waved his hand, "dismissing" his son, firming up his resolve to head for East Lake today.

With so many powerful influences waiting.

It was best to acquire the Vortex Map as soon as possible.

Just then, urgent footsteps sounded from outside the door.

The Deputy City Lord, Lu Hai, burst through the door!

Extremely rude!

However, his next words extinguished any trace of anger in Yun Hai Cang Lan.

"City Lord, Sect Leader Wen has arrived!"
