Heavenly Emperor
Cloud City
The Second Layer of the Sage Realm
Ren Yuu was currently flying out of the City of Death. He left alone without bringing anyone with him. But he had left a communication jade to Zi Ling. If anything happened in the City of Death, Zi Ling would be able to contact him.
As Ren Yuu flew, he also took out a complete map that he had looted from Zou Jiang. The distance he had to travel to his destination was nearly 4 days if at his speed. Even for Zou Jiang previously it took him almost 2 days to return to the City of Death from the place.
And the place that Ren Yuu was going to was of course the city where the Bi Clan was located.
There was another reason why Ren Yuu tried to leave alone. And that was of course to save anyone captured by the Bi Clan. Aside from that, he wanted to search for the whereabouts of his other comrades who went with him to the Second Layer of the Sage Realm.
Of course Ren Yuu would not try to save the members of the Huo Clan that the Bi Clan was holding directly. If he met Cang Li or Liao Di, he would try. Moreover, between Huo Tian and Huo Peng who were being held back, one of them would definitely come to the rescue of the others since they were from the same place that was the Huo Clan.
A few days later, Ren Yuu came closer to the Cloud city, where the Bi Clan was located. When he approached, he looked at the city located above the clouds, he immediately understood why the place was called the City of Clouds.
“This place is really interesting.” Ren Yuu muttered as he gazed towards the Cloud city which was in a place not too far away.
The clouds where the city of Clouds were located were slightly dark grey. There was quite a strong demonic qi coming from those clouds if examined carefully.
Aside from that, there were a lot of demons wandering around, looking like they were on patrol. The Cloud city's guard looked quite strict because the city could be called the center of the Second Layer of the Sage Realm.
In a place not too far from Cloud City, there was a palace that Ren Yuu had seen. And it was the Soul Palace, but the palace had a larger building about four to five times that of the soul palaces present in the First Layer of the Sage Realm.
However, there were no Soul Devils hanging around there. The Soul Palace looked like it was abandoned, this might have to do with the policies that existed in the Second Layer of the Sage Realm.
Before Ren Yuu wanted to move towards the Cloud City, some of the patrolling demons tracked Ren Yuu's whereabouts and the three demons who were watching Ren Yuu came closer.
“Even for the patrolling guards performed by Tier God Exalt Late demons. What a waste.” Inner Ren Yuu felt that the Bi Clan was too wary of anyone in the Second Layer of the Sage Realm.
However, Ren Yuu did not try to escape as he was currently in a different form, not in the original form of the demon genes that he had used before. He could now easily make a shape change using the demon genes which made his appearance very different from the first.
“Stop in place. Tell me your destination came to Cloud City!” One of the Devils immediately spoke as he approached where Ren Yuu was.
“I came to buy quality slaves in this City because in the city of Wang there are no quality slaves.” said Ren Yuu indifferently. Naturally he would use that way to enter the Cloud City since the Cloud city could be said to be a city that sold slaves in huge numbers.
The three demons stared from top to bottom towards Ren Yuu carefully and tried to find out if there was any other intention of Ren Yuu coming to Cloud City or not.
“You should know the rules in Cloud City. To go inside to make a trade, you have to leave a number of Demon Crystals to the Bi Clan as collateral.” finally one of the demons spoke up for not finding any abnormalities from Ren Yuu.
“How much should I leave?” Ren Yuu asked a little astonished by the rules made by the Bi Clan to reap huge profits. From this, he immediately thought that the Bi Clan must have collected a lot of Demon Crystals and must have bought a lot of slaves. He immediately understood why Nie Dou had said that the Bi Clan was so powerful.
“Since you came to trade, you must leave at least 100,000 Demon Crystals. If not, go to another city to buy slaves!” The demon grinned a little evilly towards Ren Yuu.
Ren Yuu's eyes narrowed slightly on knowing that the members of the Bi Clan must have been very rotten. But, since he wanted to enter the Cloud City, he had to give it away even if the amount was large enough. After all, he would later plunder all the resources of the Bi Clan when the time came. It was fine to dispose of 100,000 Demon Crystals even though he knew that the guard must have tried to trick him because of his lower cultivation level.
Without speaking anymore, Ren Yuu threw a space ring containing 100,000 Demon Crystals at the demon.
“Can you guys take me to the best slave selling place in the city?” Ren Yuu asked with a small smile.
After confirming the contents of the space ring, the three understood that Ren Yuu wanted comfort and wanted to be well served in the Cloud city with just his words so that Ren Yuu instantly gave him 100,000 Demon Crystals.
“We really like a straightforward Devil like you. Come, follow us, we will take you to the best slave selling place in Cloud City.” said the demon then led the way together with his two colleagues.
Ren Yuu simply followed the three towards Cloud City. When it reached the city gate made of red clouds, it looked very much a guard. All of them were quite strong, aside from that, many strong slaves were also made into the guards of Cloud City. This proved how rich the Bi Clan was for making quality slaves into guards.
Since the three guards were leading Ren Yuu, none of them stopped him because of course they were all familiar with the fellow members of the Bi Clan.
“You must follow the rules in Cloud City. You should know that this place is the center of the Second Layer of the Sage.” Realm said the demon who led Ren Yuu. This time, only one demon leading her showed the way for Ren Yuu.
“Ya.”
Ren Yuu's flat answer made the demon understand directly that Ren Yuu was not the type of demon who liked to talk. To the nobles, they would all have such an attitude. From the way Ren Yuu threw 100,000 Demon Crystals easily, making the demon think that Ren Yuu was a noble of a certain city in the Second Layer of the Sage Realm.
But, what astonished the demon, why was there no one to escort Ren Yuu. But he didn't think too much about it at the moment because he felt it wasn't very important.
While on the way, Ren Yuu watched all the places carefully. Through the faint perception he used, he estimated that the number of Devils in Cloud City was about five to six times more than the population of Death City.
“We have arrived. This was the best slave selling place in Cloud City. I will just take you here.” said the Devil then left without waiting for a reply from Ren Yuu.
Ren Yuu did not care at all and entered the building directly. He certainly needs a strong slave to be on guard in case something unwanted happens.
Arriving inside, Ren Yuu directly asked the waiter at the place to show the best slaves sold.
Just like any other slave selling place, the best slaves were sold on the top floor.
“Welcome honored guest. I heard that you want to buy the best slave. In the Cloud City, we provide some very high quality slaves. What kind of slave do you want?” Asked the middle-aged Devil who approached Ren Yuu when he reached the top floor of the building.
“Is in this city providing Early Divine God Tier slaves?” Asked Ren Yuu. He had over 10,000,000 Demon Crystals at the moment after looting the Demon Crystals from Zou Jiang as well as from the other Nobles in Death City.
The middle-aged demon was surprised by Ren Yuu's request. “Dear guests, you must know that the Divine God Early Tier slave, has a price above 10,000,000 Demon Crystals.”
“No problem at all. I've been saving Demon Crystals all my life for today.” Reply Ren Yuu indifferently.
The middle-aged demon was increasingly astonished by Ren Yuu's words and according to him, Ren Yuu would definitely want to take control of one of the small towns in the Second Layer of the Sage Realm at the expense of over 10,000,000 Demon Crystals. However, if it was for the long term, it was certain that that many Demon Crystals would return to Ren Yuu's hands if he managed to take control of a single city.
“Follow me dear guest, we will not disappoint you.” said the middle-aged Devil and led the way.
“Truely, it turns out that there are Divine God Early Tier slaves!” Inner Ren Yuu was a little surprised and he smiled slightly as it seemed that the Demon Crystals were indeed very useful. He increasingly wanted to plunder the Bi Clan and then use all of those resources to purchase strong slaves in the Third Layer of the Sage Realm later on to achieve his goal.
