The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms-Chapter 970 - 967: I Will Humiliate You!_1

Chapter 970: Chapter 967: I Will Humiliate You!_1

“In total, you have placed more than 3,000 Holy Ants in various corners of the Luosheng Gate. Anything that happens within the Luosheng Gate will be recorded by the Holy Ants. Fu Yunhe’s attempt to secretly scheme against you is simply delusional!” Yun Lu said kindly.

“With this assurance, I can rest easy,” Yang Chen replied.

He has placed Holy Ants in every corner of the Luosheng Gate, with more than 3,000 ants in total. The ants are very well-hidden when they lie low, and when combined with his Earth Martial Realm Third Layer Divine Soul Power and the help of the Fishpeople Tribe, even Fu Yunhe would not notice anything.

Even if one or two ants were exposed, it wouldn’t matter much.

…

Thus, Yang Chen traveled with Zhou Qing and others to Long Wind Main City. Their departure from Hurricane City caused quite a stir, as Yang Chen had made quite a name for himself in Hurricane City during this time, drawing everyone’s attention to his actions.

However, this incident did not cause much upheaval; just a few days later, calm was restored to Hurricane City, as if a storm was brewing.

Half a month later—

Long Wind Main City was bustling with activity, with the Huangdao Sect as its backbone. Clearly being a main city force, it had become a trading center filled with various chambers of commerce and passersby. It was hard to imagine how many Spirit Stones entered the city on a daily basis.

“Long Wind Main City has become more prosperous than before. The Huangdao Sect is treating it like a puppet. The city is all too willing,” Zhou Qing said in a low voice.

“Well, since we’re here, let’s not badmouth Long Wind Main City. Let’s find an inn first, then start asking about the Trial Tower!” Yang Chen instructed.

Being the Sect Leader of the Luosheng Gate had its benefits.

Without having to get his hands dirty, his subordinates arranged everything – they found an inn and gathered information. In the blink of an eye, they had everything ready.

One of Zhou Qing’s trusted men, Luo Zhun, returned in haste, saying, “Sect Leader, I’ve got the information — the Trial Tower is located within the city, open 24 hours a day for outsiders. However, to enter, you’ll have to find someone from Long Wind Main City to guide you.”

“Oh? A guide?” Yang Chen understood the implication.

What they called a guide was actually just a way to make it clear that you have to agree on a price first. Who would show you the way if you didn’t feed them enough?

Zhou Qing asked, “Luo Zhun, did you find out everything? Who should we find? It’d be useless if you only got half the information.”

“Don’t worry, Vice Sect Leader, I have all the information. To enter the Trial Tower, we have to find Lin, the Steward of Long Wind Main City. I have also found out where he usually resides. However, the entry fee might be a bit high…” Luo Zhun said awkwardly.

“How many Spirit Stones?” Yang Chen asked.

“One hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones,” Luo Zhun replied with a bitter smile.

Zhou Qing could not help but curse angrily, “Long Wind Main City is just trying to squeeze people dry! They charge so much money just to see someone. How is this any different from robbery? Aren’t they just robbing people with that amount of Spirit Stones?”

“They’re just exploiting people for Spirit Stones covertly. People with the ability to afford the subsequent fees won’t care about the hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones. Those without the ability naturally won’t enter,” Yang Chen shook his head. He disagreed with this approach, but when faced with such shameless tactics, he had no choice but to abide.

“Alright, there’s no use complaining. Let’s settle in Long Wind Main City for a day and rest. Tomorrow, follow me to see that Lin Steward!” Yang Chen ordered.

…

Thus, a group of travelers weighted down with the fatigue of their journey rested in Long Wind Main City for a day, and recovered their vitality. The next day, they proceeded to Lin Steward’s residence according to their plan.

As they had found out beforehand, when they arrived at the courtyard, the gatekeeper immediately asked for Spirit Stones.

“One hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones. Once you’ve paid, you can enter and see Steward Lin. You need to understand that Steward Lin is a very busy and important person. There are many people who want to see him, so you have to pay a little price,” the guard said with a smile, reciting his lines fluidly as if he had said them many times before.

Without arguing, Yang Chen gave the guard the Spirit Stones.

After receiving the Spirit Stones, the guard did not cause any trouble for Yang Chen and his companions. Instead, he made way for them to enter.

As they entered the courtyard, an elderly steward came to greet them. The old man, with an air of authority, said, “You must be here to see Steward Lin. Please wait, as he is currently meeting with others, but he will be available shortly!”

“I understand,” Yang Chen nodded.

The group quickly settled down in the courtyard and, after waiting for half an hour, the old steward left and a middle-aged, obese man appeared in their line of sight. As the man walked, his flesh jiggled. His face was flushed with satisfaction, evidently having engaged in intercourse not long ago — a far cry from the old steward’s report of him being in another meeting.

“Steward Lin,” Yang Chen greeted, rising to his feet.

“Please be seated, be seated,” said Lin Steward, shaking his fat and pouring tea with a smile. “I assume you’re all here about the Trial Tower?”

“Indeed,” Yang Chen replied, not wasting words with Lin Steward.

Gently stroking his chin, Lin Steward said, “In that case, may I ask what background you all have? Do you have any referrals?”

Yang Chen understood what he was getting at, and as Zhou Qing had said, Steward Lin was going to evaluate whether they were easy to bully. If they were easy targets, he would charge them more; if not, he would not be so aggressive with Spirit Stones.

After some thought, Yang Chen replied, “We are from the Luo Shengmen Sect in Hurricane City.”

“Oh? Luo Shengmen?” Lin Steward rubbed his eyebrows before breaking into hearty laughter. “It’s an honor to meet you! I won’t waste any more words. As the cost of opening the Trial Tower is very high, you’ll each need to pay 1,500 Top-grade Spirit Stones if you wish to enter.”

“What?!” Zhou Qing could not hold back any longer, slamming the table angrily.

“It seems that you’re not particularly satisfied with the price?” Lin Steward asked with a grin. “If not, you can always leave. I, Lin, never force anyone.”

Zhou Qing was burning with rage, feeling that they were being blatantly ripped off.

However, Yang Chen remained calm and waved his hand, “1,500 Top-grade Spirit Stones it is.”

“Because of this guy’s rudeness earlier, I’m not happy. I’ve changed my mind: 2,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones,” Lin Steward yawned. “If you can’t handle it, just leave!”

In other words, ‘I’m bullying you just because I can. What can you do about it?’

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen chuckled.

He spoke calmly, without a hint of anger, “Alright, 2,000 Spirit Stones it is!”
