Chapter 793: Chapter 472: The Saint Dies
With five million top-grade spirit stones on his person, Logan now had a brimming confidence. In the Outer Domain, he had temporarily established his footing.
Having top-grade spirit stones meant, on one hand, no worries about spending, and on the other hand, if he encountered overly powerful enemies, he could use the top-grade spirit stones to arrange the array and have the power to protect himself.
Logan wanted to purchase some heavenly treasures and so, he entered a shop. The shop was bustling with activity and situated at the center of Heavenly Moon City. However, upon entering, he saw that the hall was filled with people, all discussing something ferventlyâit seemed there had been a dispute inside.
Thus, Logan found a higher spot to look inside and indeed, he saw a few familiar faces. It was Snow Wood and her party, engaged in a dispute with another group.
However, the other side was clearly more numerous and powerful, with dozens of people. The one leading them was particularly arrogant, truly infuriating her.
Snow Wood stared at the shopkeeper and asked, âWe clearly came first, and we even offered five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, so why wonât you sell? Doesnât that go against the rules?â
âSo what if you came first? You havenât left this shop yet, and it should be the highest bidder who gets the item, right? Weâve offered one million top-grade spirit stones, so rightfully, this stone should belong to us.â
Enzo Wexler laughed wantonly and said, âYou are too young. Itâs best to keep a low profile in Heavenly Moon City, otherwise, you may not live past three days.â
âIs everyone in Heavenly Moon City so overbearing? However, you should also be aware of one thing: there are always stronger people out there, so donât take yourself too seriously.â
Snow Wood wasnât intimidated at all and mocked Enzo Wexler. This young manâs realm was not high, merely at the Saint Seat Third Level. Was he feeling bold enough to make a scene here?
It was only because his family held great power that he had dozens of guards at the Saint Seat Fourth and Fifth Levels by his side. The elder beside him was of a fearsome realm; otherwise, the opponent really was nothing. She wasnât from Heavenly Moon City, so why should she fear him?
The shopkeeper was caught between a rock and a hard place with these two quarreling parties, truly putting him in a tough position. He was just running this small shop and indeed, could not afford to offend either side. This ancient stone had been priced by him at one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, and Snow Wood did come first.
As for the one million top-grade spirit stones offered by Enzo Wexler, even though he was indeed very tempted, he knew deep down that he couldnât swallow such a high price. The trouble was that Enzo Wexler held significant clout within the city, and provoking him could lead to dire consequences for himself.
In such a situation, he could only try his best to persuade them, âPlease, both of you, there is a rule against fighting in Heavenly Moon City. Itâs just a minor disagreement over a trivial piece of stone. This stone has been studied by countless people who all failed to perceive anything special about it. Thatâs why it ended up in my shop.â
âEven if itâs just a piece of ancient stone or even if it was a piece of scrap iron, since someone wants to compete with this Young Master for it, how could I possibly just hand it over? Who in the entire Heavenly Moon City dares to challenge me? If I walk away unconcerned today, I would lose too much face,â Enzo Wexler sneered with contempt as he looked at Snow Wood. âMy patience has limits. If it wasnât for the City Lordâs orders to hold a martial competition in the next few days, warning us not to cause trouble lightly, I wouldnât bother arguing with you, and you would have already fallen.â
âReally? Today, I must take it by force,â Snow Wood sneered back. She was not one to be easily bullied and particularly disliked those who bullied others under the guise of power. The opponent might have great influence in Heavenly Moon City, but her own background was not insignificant, and she didnât want to lose this face either.
A subordinate whispered to Snow Wood, âMiss, we only have a few people right now. Once a fight breaks out, we will definitely be at a disadvantage. Moreover, it will take another day for the members of our sect to arrive. Perhaps we should step back for now and wait for the Sect Leader to handle the matter.â
âSo what if we have fewer people? This is about face,â Snow Wood glanced at him. Indeed, they were only a few, but although the other side had dozens of men, they appeared to be a bunch of good-for-nothings. How much combat power could they really exhibit in a fight? She could take them on single-handedly.
The only concern was indeed the backing of the opponentâs forces. If a group of Saint Seat Ninth Level or even a Half-step Saint Seat arrived, that would be trouble. Still, one should never show defeat in a match of wills. Snow Wood didnât believe that under the City Lordâs orders, Enzo Wexler would truly dare to start a massacre in the city.
Enzo Wexler sneered and looked towards the elder by his side, âElder Cloud, make your move, but just cripple Snow Woodâs cultivation level, that beauty can still be spared.â
âUnderstood,â the elderâs eyes swept over and he moved instantly. A terrifying aura spread in a flash, sending several of Snow Woodâs subordinates flying with a single strike.
With just one move, Snow Wood recognized the manâs strengthâSaint Seat Eighth Level. She instantly felt a chill, realizing that the situation was indeed very troublesome.
However, Snow Wood was unafraid and unleashed her own move, which seemed ordinary at first. But in the next moment, it brought pressure to the elder. He had to use all his strength to block it; Snow Woodâs move had reached the strength of the Saint Seat Seventh Level.
The elder was astonished, as he hadnât expected her talent to be so high. After all, most of the younger generationâs Heavenly Prides were only at the Saint Seat Fourth or Fifth Level nowadays.
Snow Wood activated the Rule, covering the entire inn with light. The next moment, an ancient aura suffused the area, âIf we are to fight, letâs not hold back. Letâs show all the powers and people of Heavenly Moon City how you bully others in Heavenly Moon City.â
