Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1513 - 1514: Targeted

Watching the river formed by the heavenly spirit stones in the sky, the hearts of countless martial artists were all eager, wishing they could directly seize them.

If someone could take away these ten million heavenly spirit stones, it would be enough to establish a sect and achieve great things in the Nine Domains.

However, although many were tempted, no one dared to actually make a move.

The rules of Gui Xu City are strict, even Zhou Jueyin, the Young Sect Master of the War Demon Sect, dared not to act.

Much less these people, even if they managed to take the heavenly spirit stones today, they probably wouldn’t be able to leave Gui Xu City alive.

Having the fortune but not the life to spend it.

Still, one gaze after another, filled with greed, fixated on Chu Fengmian.

For Chu Fengmian to produce these ten million heavenly spirit stones, it’s likely that his wealth exceeds even this.

In Gui Xu City, one cannot make a move, but once someone leaves, these rules no longer apply.

As time passed by the minute.

The old man took a full five minutes to count all the spirit stones.

"The sword hilt is yours."

The old man waved his hand, tossing the sword hilt to Chu Fengmian.

Then he turned around to start packing up his stall, preparing to leave.

"That old guy is leaving."

Seeing the old man’s actions, the eyes of many martial artists revealed something unusual.

This old man now holds ten million heavenly spirit stones; whoever kills him will have them.

Silently, figures began to stealthily follow the old man away.

"You guys, follow this old man, wait until he’s out of the city, then kill him and take his spirit stones."

Zhou Jueyin, with a cold expression, quietly instructed a few disciples of the Six Paths Demon Sect beside him.

"Don’t worry, Young Master."

A few disciples of the Six Paths Demon Sect, upon hearing the order, followed the old man as he left.

And it wasn’t just the old man; Chu Fengmian was also being targeted.

Chu Fengmian sensed at least dozens of gazes fixated on him.

Wherever Chu Fengmian went, these people followed, waiting for the moment he left Gui Xu City, to strike with thunderous means, kill him, and seize his wealth.

Chu Fengmian also understood these people’s intentions but couldn’t be bothered; with his abilities, he could annihilate all those following him in an instant.

However, within Gui Xu City, Chu Fengmian didn’t plan to reveal his strength, to avoid alerting his enemies. While wandering around Gui Xu City, he suddenly noticed a tall building.

Sky Tower.

The inn under Tong Tian Pavilion, considered one of the best in the entire Nine Domains.

Just as Chu Fengmian walked over, several disciples of Tong Tian Pavilion approached, inviting him.

"Does the senior need a cave mansion to rest? Our Sky Tower’s cave mansions are the best in Gui Xu City, and each connects to a spiritual spring, rich in spiritual energy, enough for the senior to cultivate."

These Tong Tian Pavilion disciples spotted Chu Fengmian at a glance from the crowd.

Though Chu Fengmian concealed his strength and aura, he couldn’t hide the bearing he naturally exuded.

This bearing only belongs to those in high positions, even some peerless experts.

These Tong Tian Pavilion disciples also knew Chu Fengmian must be someone of status, so they hurriedly surrounded him.

"Sky Tower? Just perfect."

Chu Fengmian intended to first deal with those troublesome followers and then find a place to comprehend the secrets of the ancient book, jade talisman, and sword hilt, the three treasures.

Though these three treasures were stored in the space ring, they constantly beckoned, making Chu Fengmian eager to uncover their secrets sooner.

The Sky Tower was a good place; Chu Fengmian had stayed there before and knew the privacy of its cave mansions, perfect for understanding the three treasures.

Moreover, as long as he remained within Gui Xu City, those following him wouldn’t dare to rashly act against him.

"Give me a Heaven-level room."

Chu Fengmian said to one of the Tong Tian Pavilion disciples.

"What? Senior wants a Heaven-level room?"

The Tong Tian Pavilion disciples were all taken aback by Chu Fengmian’s words.

They had surmised that Chu Fengmian must be quite important, but in Gui Xu City’s Sky Tower, the Heaven-level rooms aren’t affordable even for Supreme Old Ancestors in the Immortal Realm.

Only quasi-emperors or true Emperor Sovereigns could afford them.

Chu Fengmian seemed so young; it was impossible for him to be an Emperor Sovereign, yet he wanted a Heaven-level room?

"What? Don’t have it?"

Chu Fengmian, noticing the surprise on the Tong Tian Pavilion disciples’ faces, frowned.

"Of course we have, senior. The Heaven-level room in Sky Tower requires a hundred imperial-grade spirit stones a day or one heavenly spirit stone."

One Tong Tian Pavilion disciple whispered to Chu Fengmian.

Fearing Chu Fengmian might not know the prices, so he reminded him.

"A hundred a day? That’s quite expensive now."

Chu Fengmian recalled the last time during the Nine Domains Talent Battle, the Heaven-level room in the Sky Tower only cost five imperial-grade spirit stones a day.

Now it’s twenty times the price.

However, due to the emergence of numerous ancient relics, imperial-grade spirit stones are no longer as rare.

Therefore, the prices in Sky Tower have also risen.

But for Chu Fengmian, no matter how much it increased, such spirit stones could be easily gathered at his hand.

"Lead the way."

Chu Fengmian waved his hand, and a pouch accidentally landed in one of the Tong Tian Pavilion disciple’s hands.

When he opened it, essence-like spiritual power surged out, filled with pure and translucent spirit stones.

"Heavenly, heavenly spirit stones?"

The Tong Tian Pavilion disciple was startled; it was his first time encountering a transaction with heavenly spirit stones. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Exchanging heavenly spirit stones for imperial-grade spirit stones, although supposedly one to one hundred.

In practice, heavenly spirit stones are far more scarce than imperial-grade ones; nobody wants to exchange them.

Mostly, the rate would be one to one hundred fifty, or even two hundred.

Even an Emperor Sovereign wouldn’t be so extravagant to pay directly with heavenly spirit stones.

"I must have encountered a big figure."

The Tong Tian Pavilion disciple’s heart skipped in astonishment, quickly realizing as his face filled with a smile.

"Please follow me, senior."

Speaking, the Tong Tian Pavilion disciple led Chu Fengmian into the Sky Tower.

Staying in the Sky Tower usually required some complex procedures, but under the arrangement of this Tong Tian Pavilion disciple, the procedures were swiftly completed, leading Chu Fengmian inside.
