Destroying the Will of Heaven
Episode 180 Gathering Information
It had already been three days since Chu Feng and Kong Chen had arrived in the Metal Country, the two of them had acted like a cultivator visiting the Metal Country to buy his worn-out equipment and go back to hunting beasts again.
After the two of them obtained the crystal cores from the ferocious beasts, the two people would sell them to a special official store to sell the hunted items. Not only that, sometimes Chu Feng would occasionally visit the black market to purchase medicinal pills at a cheap price.
“Hey, is doing this indispensable for both of us?” Kong Chen followed him from behind while looking to the side. This was the third time he had visited the black market in the Metal Country, it was unexpected that this place was more organized than he had thought.
“This is a natural thing for cultivators who do not have a clear origin entering the black market, as long as we can get rid of the eyes of the supervisor then something like this is not needed.” Chu Feng walked around with his eyes that occasionally glanced at the stall that was at the side.
“Why don't we kill him directly that supervisor? Should be able to make our movement easier to be more free.” Kong Chen subconsciously glanced at a stall that was behind, he saw a black-haired young man conversing with the store owner. That person was the one in charge of overseeing the movements of Kong Chen and The Pacifism for the past three days.
“Not necessary, it's too risky. If the one who told the man was the innkeeper, we would most likely be caught. Just wait patiently, they will definitely give up on watching us after knowing we are just normal cultivators.” Chu Feng slowly walked out of the black market, and towards a winehouse where other cultivators gathered.
When the two of them entered the winehouse, all of the noisy and laughter-filled sounds instantly rang out in Chu Feng's ears.
As Kong Chen smelled the sour scent that stung his head, he slightly frowned, “Wine in this place is not fermented either, just smelling the aroma alone it does not match my taste.”
“If you do not like, then just neutralize it with your spiritual energy to become ordinary drinking water.” Chu Feng walked towards the empty seat while sitting on his stool. Kong Chen could only sigh and follow him to sit down.
When Chu Feng and Kong Chen had sat down, both of them saw that a woman dressed like a servant was approaching this direction. When looking at the cultivation base that the female servant had, the two of them were quite surprised.
“A common man?” Chu Feng was slightly surprised to see the calm full expression of the female servant in front of him, he had not expected to meet an ordinary mortal.
“Master wanderer, what do you want to order?” The female servant asked with a smile.
“Two medium quality grapes and a set of wild animal meat.” Chu Feng replied with a hoarse tone of his.
“Alright lord wanderer, wait for a while!” The maid replied as she walked into a room behind the door.
By the time the female servant left, Chu Feng and Kong Chen did not speak to each other and only listened to the talk of the other wild cultivators who were still inside the winery.
“Hey, did you know that in the core region there has been a very lively scene?” One of the bald men who was downing his wine was talking to a colleague beside him.
“Didn't that always happen? Why do you have to be so excited! At the end of each year all the great nations will celebrate it lavishly to show their power to the world. Last year the Metal Country had attacked countless of their handmade weapons into a forest controlled by beasts, in just one movement alone the forest has turned into a tomb where buried wild animals.” Say one skinny colleague who has a tattoo on his arm.
“Yes, last year's incident was really quite shocking. Even until now the forest had become a forbidden area and turned into a storage area for their metal weapons. It was said that every artifact they had made was soaked in the blood of a savage beast for several months, its endurance power would greatly increase by leaps and bounds The fat man beside her nodded in agreement to the remark.
“It is true that every end of the year will be a day the whole big country shows its strength, but this year the Metal Country will make something even more great than before.” The bald man slightly shook his head while putting his empty glass on his desk.
Suddenly Chu Feng thought of something about the Song Family's cooperation with the Metal Country in secret, “The only thing I could think of was the Metal Country wanting to blow something up by relying on the Sun Stone, but what do they want to do? Blow up another great country and trigger a war? It has no advantage at all.”
When Chu Feng was thinking very deeply, he saw that the female servant had walked out of the room behind the door. The woman was carrying a piece of meat in her right hand and two bottles of wine in her left.
“Sorry sir has been waiting for him for a long time!” The female servant said with hospitality as she placed Chu Feng and Kong Chen's order on the wooden table.
“No need to worry!” Chu Feng nodded his head while taking out five spirit stones.
Even though Chu Feng did not use his eyes to see what was inside the room, he saw that there were four children of different ages working hard to help his parents' wine shop. Just looking at that alone Chu Feng learned that this store was not under surveillance, and was only owned by a normal human being.
Upon seeing that Chu Feng paid her with spirit stones, the woman's eyes glowed and lowered her head deeply to express her gratitude. Then walk over to give it to the middle-aged man who looks like her husband.
“Kong Chen, what about the information you're listening to?” Chu Feng slightly glanced as he handed one bottle of wine towards Kong Chen.
“After listening to some of their conversations, there was one person who made me very curious. He has the age of 20 and the same cultivation base as me. But what made me very curious was that the person was originally a cultivator who was highly sought after by the Metal Country because of his criminal actions, he said, but after one particular incident she was recruited by the Metal Country and became the crown princess's personal guard.” Kong Chen glanced at him for a while before forcing himself to drink the wine bottle in front of him. But after feeling the bitter and hot taste that entered his throat, he instantly circulated his spiritual energy to dispel the disgusting taste.
“Well, no sweetness at all in my mouth!” Kong Chen placed the many remaining wine bottles on the wooden table.
As Chu Feng heard it, he slightly raised his eyebrows and said, “Oh? A criminal who has become the personal guardian of the crown princess? If I'm not mistaken isn't it now that the crown princess has turned ten years old and become the ruler of the Metal Country?”
“Yes, he is now the rightful heir and has ascended to the throne at a very young age. It said the crime had been his personal guard when the crown princess was six years old. As the man is about to be killed for his criminal actions, the princess tries to stop the senseless killing. Then the man's criminal swore allegiance to date to the crown princess.” Kong Chen glanced at the ferocious beast meat in front of him before eating it.
“A male cultivator with a criminal background becomes a trusted personal guard? Pulling!” Chu Feng slightly smiled when he heard that and started chugging his wine.
“How about you? Did you get any other information?” Kong Chen slightly glanced at the sight of the strange grin that was plastered on the face of the corpse that should have died. Without the two of them noticing, the flesh of the savage beast and the two bottles of wine had been finished off by the two while enjoying the chatter.
“Yes, I've got interesting information. But this information does not seem to be certain whether or not it is true. After we've both gone unchecked, maybe I'll pay a visit to Sonata Building!” Chu Feng slowly stood up from his seat while walking out of the winehouse. Kong Chen who was behind him also started to follow him out of the wine shop.
When it came out of the wine, Kong Chen heard a small rant coming from the mouth of the walking corpse that was in front of him.
“I can't wait to meet that woman again!” Chu Feng involuntarily made a sneer while recalling about his encounter with the blue-clothed woman who came from the Sonata Building.
*A really cold pack uyy~
