System Break the Limit - Qing Shandian' Journey
Ch.69 - Arrive in the Northern Territory

"Nguungg"

In the spacious and bustling city square, a monument suddenly shone and formed a vortex, accompanied by a light humming sound. A moment after, Leader Wang and seven others came out of the vortex, followed by Qing Shandian and nine others.

When Leader Wang, Wang Xiu saw that everyone was not left behind, he nodded and spoke as he looked at Qing Shandian and the other nine people. "Right now, we are already in the Northern Region. It was in the Imperial Capital of Dong Yu. We will head straight for the Imperial Palace. Remember, you guys don't make a fuss if there's no serious problem. Don't mind the trivial. Do you understand?"

Qing Shandian and the others nodded, then said in unison. "We understand."

Wang Xiu nodded and said, "Emm.. Good you guys understand. Now, let's head to the palace. Follow us." He then turned around, and put his foot to the right of the transfer portal.

However, when they had only walked a few steps, a sound of laughter entered their ears.

"Haha... Wang Xiu, Xing Lihai, I didn't expect that we could meet here. Does that mean that you are leading the participants from the Eastern Region?"

That voice sounded a bit hoarse. Simultaneously, Wang Xiu and the others halted their steps. They turned around and saw a group of people standing in front of the transfer portal. Wang Xiu's gaze was fixed on the old man who was wearing a red silk robe in a yellow striped pattern. He frowned when he recognized the old man. He calmly said, "Ohh? Lan Changju, it seems that it is you. I didn't expect that you showed up here either. Are you the one leading the participants from the Southern Region this time around?"

The old man called Lan Changju laughed again, then said, "Hahaha.. Thas right. This time I was chosen to lead the Southern Region participants."

After speaking, Lan Changju swept his gaze to the group of young girls standing behind Wang Xiu, and examined them with his spiritual perception. He raised his brows next to him before saying, "Wang Xiu, Xing Lihai, are you guys sure to include them in the Hunting Competition event this time around? There was not even a single Sovereign level between them. Has the Eastern Region really been greatly decreased? Haha... If so, wouldn't this time the Eastern Region be completely destroyed?"

"Hmmphh!! Lan Changju, the competition has still not started, and Who will be destroyed has also not been determined. Aren't you overconfident?" Xing Lihai let out a cold snort as he echoed Lan Changju's remark.

"Haha... Of course I'm confident. At least those I bring will not disappoint me and the Southern Region. Because I believe in their power." Lan Changju laughed again as she spoke.

"Hmmm.. May as you say. Well, I won't waste my precious time here. So, good-bye." Xing Lihai said nonchalantly, then immediately turned around and resumed their delayed footsteps.

Lan Changju grinned when she heard Xing Lihai's reply and saw their departure. His gaze was fixed on Qing Shandian, then he quietly ordered a young man to attack Qing Shandian who seemed to have no aura at all. "Lan Chengyi, kill him. You don't have to think about the consequences. I'll be in charge."

"Okay, Leader Lan." The young man called Lan Chengyi with a smile, before then he darted swiftly towards Qing Shandian while unsheathing his sword at full strength.

"Guusshh"

Meanwhile, Qing Shandian who had heard Lan Changju's talk let out a long sigh. This was his first day setting foot in the Northern Region, yet there was already someone who wanted to kill him. He remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Xiu, Xing Lihai, as well as the other six Clan Leaders who sensed the coming of the attack immediately turned around. Wang Xiu shouted, "Lan Changju, do you want to commit murder here?"

"Haha... I only reduced the trash so as not to pollute the Imperial Capital Dong Yu. So it's not..." It was Lan Changju who laughed loudly as she spoke. However, his speech came to a halt when he saw that Qing Shandian was gripping Lan Chengyi by the neck.

On Qing Shandian's side, he ignored the rebellious Lan Chengyi and thrashed in his clutches. He looked calm without expression. He said, "Since Leader Lan said he wanted to reduce the trash, then let me eliminate the trash without leaving any residue." Quite frankly before then the 'Cold Flame Moon Star' strongly gushed shrouding Kan Chengyi's entire body.

"Aaaahhhhh"

Lan Chengyi's shout sounded extremely loud, yet it was extremely short before then his body vanished into nothingness. Qing Shandian's action also attracted the attention of many people, and made many people gulp roughly.

Qing Shandian immediately pulled out the fire. He looked at Lan Changju with a calm look. He could see the angry expressions of Lan Changju and his group. However, he ignored that, then said, "As per what Leader Lan said. I've reduced one piece of trash without leaving anything behind. If Leader Lan wants to eliminate the other trash, don't hesitate to say so. I will gladly eliminate everything like trash before."

"Haha... Great, very good words. I totally agree with you, little An. The trash must be cleaned without leaving anything. That way, it won't cause disease." Xing Lihai said with her thunderous laughter.

Lan Changju regained her senses with her reddened eyes. He looked at Qing Shandian with a deathly gaze. He angrily said, "Young man, you actually dared to kill a member of my clan right under my nose. You're so sassy!"

"Lan leader, we've never known each other before. At first, I didn't want to make a fuss. But for no apparent reason, you suddenly wanted to kill me with someone else's knife. I don't care about your bullshit. If you want to catch up with him, I don't mind taking you to the door of death. If you want to try it, we can start. I don't have much time for people like you." Qing Shandian spoke calmly with a smile. However, that smile looked more like a death scythe.

Wang Xiu, Xing Lihai, the six clan leaders, as well as the nine young girls behind Qing Shandian gulped violently when they heard that remark. The cold weather felt like it was crawling their backs.

Meanwhile, Lan Changju who was still in the turmoil of his anger did not dare to disobey. He thought of the serious consequences he might receive, if he made a fuss. As for the group of people behind him, they were still in a state of shock when recalling how Lan Chengyi had vanished into nothingness.

Seeing that Lan Changju did not respond, Qing Shandian again said, "Since Leader Lan looks so doubtful, then I will leave. I will always look forward to the arrival of Leader Lan if I really want to escort you to the door of death. I wish everyone was with you at that time. That way, I don't have to waste energy for the next time."

Qing Shandian turned around and looked towards his group. He said, "Leader Wang, everyone, let's continue the journey. About that event, just think of it as the wind."

Wang Xiu nodded and said, "Emm.. You're correct. We leave this place before there's another bully."

As soon as Wang Xiu's remark ended, they immediately turned around and continued their steps towards the Imperial Palace.

After their disappearance from sight, in a place quite far away from the transfer portal area, a middle-aged man and woman wearing a black robe with a hood on her head came out from her hiding place. Their gazes were fixed towards the disappearance of Qing Shandian's group. The middle-aged woman said, "An interesting boy. In front of a group of Saint King level people, he could even remain calm."

"Do we need to watch her? Or do we warn the imperial family first?" Said the middle-aged woman while furrowing her brows.

"I think the second choice is the best. That boy is unusual. It seemed, he had purposely hidden his cultivation." The middle-aged man quietly.

"Then, we go to the Palace immediately. I'm afraid we're late..." Said the woman while looking at the middle-aged man beside her who was replied with a nod. Both disappeared from where they stood.

...…………………………...

On the bustling city road, Qing Shandian's group walked in quiet steps. Despite that, they occasionally swept their eyes to many places.

Qing Shandian also looked excited. He could not stop admiring the beauty of the Imperial Capital Dong Yu. Suddenly, he stopped walking, which caused his group to be astonished. His gaze was fixed on an ordinary building that looked old and worn out, located in a small alley. He focused on the building plaque that said 'Dong Shang Antique Shop'. That 'antique' word managed to attract Qing Shandian's attention. Then he turned to his group and said, "I want to visit the store for a while. You can go to the palace first. I'll catch up."

Wang Xiu and the other Clan Leaders exchanged glances. Then he said, "All right. Don't take too long. We'll be waiting for you at the palace."

"Shandian, stay careful and catch up with us." Shi Zhifang said with a smile.

"Emmm.. I'll go first." Sahut Qing Shandian, then he immediately walked towards the store.

A moment later, Qing Shandian arrived at the Dong Shang Antique Shop. When he entered the store, various sorts of items lined up neatly on each shelf and entered his gaze.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the room, an old man wearing a shabby brown robe and looking lazy was sipping a hot drink in his hand. The old man stared at Qing Shandian who entered his shop for a moment, before then ignoring him. He lazily said, "Take what you need, pay, and leave quickly."

When the remark entered Qing Shandian's ears, he immediately turned his gaze towards the old man, then said, "Alright. Let me take a look first. If there's something that interests me, I won't bother you much longer." Quite frankly before then observing the items in front of him.

After quite a long time observing the many items, there were finally four items that caught Qing Shandian's attention. He stretched out his hand, then retrieved the four items from different shelves. The item was a leather scroll that looked worn, an oval but irregularly shaped white crystal, a black cube and a golden pyramid. He said in his mind. "Wenrou, please analyze those four items."

[Dig]

[Blue Printing Spiritual Dolls: Contains a guide making a powerful puppet with Spiritual Qi as the driving energy and Spiritual Strength as a marker in order to recognize its master. This doll is able to attack and defend. The higher the grade of materials used, the stronger the puppet was.]

[Stalagtit Soul Crystals: Crystals formed from Soul Dew and Stalagtite Milk that have undergone freezing from extreme cold temperatures. It can be found in very cold damp places. Useful for improving the physical and mental strength of a cultivator]

[Black Cubes: Failed to identify items. System level is too low]

[Sky Axle Pyramid: Space artifacts that can be reduced or enlarged according to the user's wishes. It has the defense ability of a Low-Level God Class. Can accommodate living things and can be used as a means of air transportation, with very fast speed]

When the notice displayed the details of the item, Qing Shandian's eyes lit up. He seemed excited, yet he suppressed his happiness. However, he was also quite curious about that unknown black cube. Inhaling the air deeply, he brought the four items to the corner table of the room, where the old man of the shop owner was sitting lazily.

"I'll take these four items. How much should I pay, old man?" Said Qing Shandian in a calm tone after he sat down on the chair, while putting the four items he brought on the table.

The old man stared at the items, then looked at Qing Shandian. He said, "Not bad. You have sharp eyes. But, I don't need the Spiritual Stone as payment. If you can bring out something of equal value, those four things will be yours."

When the voice entered Qing Shandian's ears, he raised his eyebrows next door. He felt that something was wrong with the old man, and did not immediately reply. He watched the old man in front of him closely. After a detailed observation, Qing Shandian furrowed his brows and forehead, then said, "Old master, since when did you obtain that poison seal?"

The old man was shocked when he heard Qing Shandian's question. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Qing Shandian with a sharp look. With a hoarse and deep voice he said, "Little boy, how do you know about it? Are you one of them too?"

"Huh? Them? I don't know who you mean. You don't have to be careful of me. About how I know, it doesn't matter. So, don't judge me by age. I can feel that your aura is very chaotic. The flow of Spiritual Qi was proceeding very slowly as if it was being suppressed. Breath feels heavy, and your vitality seems to continue to decline. Besides, your veins look blue and black." Qing Shandian calmly explained. With the 'Eye of Truth', Qing Shandian knew who the old man meant. But he pretended not to know.

The old man slowly relaxed his body. He looked at Qing Shandian and said, "Little boy, it seems like you know a lot of things. Because then, it'll be easy. If you can help me break the poison seal on my body, those four items will be yours. Besides, I'll add a few more things to you."

Qing Shandian chuckled. He sniffed his shoulders and said, "Hehe.. Old man, breaking that seal is not a difficult thing for me. However, are these four random items equivalent to your life? I don't think its worth is even comparable to your life, do I? I can also feel hatred and resentment from the look in your eyes."

The old man frowned deeply - deeply. He said, "Tell me. What you want in return. As long as I can recover, I will definitely fulfill your request."

"good. I'm not gonna talk shit. I want you to be my follower from now on. As long as you are willing to swear allegiance to me to the heavens, I will not only break the poison seal on your body. But, I will also help you return to your peak condition in no time, and become even stronger than before." Qing Shandian spoke in a serious tone as he looked at the old man.

The old man was clearly shocked by Qing Sahndian's remark. He looked angry with his tightly clenched hand to make a crackling sound.

Qing Shandian ignored the old man's anger. Before the old man returned his words, he slowly stood up and said again. "Save that anger of yours for the Tiandu Clan. One day, I will leave this continent. So, think about my words well. I'm not kidding around. I'll make sure you never regret following me. My offer, it only applies to this one time. I'm putting these four items on you. If you have already made your decision, you can directly follow me to the Imperial Palace and mention my name. I, Qing Shandian, am from the Eastern Region." Quite frankly before then he walked away leaving the old man shocked and drowning in his mind.
