Chapter 1056: Chapter 156: Raiders’ Holy City Chapter 1056: Chapter 156: Raiders’ Holy City “Your Majesty has ambitious plans, and if you truly seek a large amount of materials, there is actually a perfect place for that!”
Ling Cheng observed and analyzed the expressions and saw the large number of plunderers that followed, which clued him into certain matters.
“Plunderer Holy City.”
Blood Rose spoke indifferently, “Indeed, it is a good place, many items not seen in the outer world are heavily traded there, a paradise for transactions, it indeed could be a place to search, but only if one has sufficient strength, otherwise one might be devoured to the point where not even remnants remain.”
“Plunderer Holy City, interesting, let’s go there with me.”
Chu Yuan said.
After defeating Blood Rose, he had conceived a much grander blueprint and laid out a bigger plan.
Swish!
The plunderer army split into two parts, one returned to Blood Rose’s camp, and transformed into the pioneer group of the Divine Martial Dynasty as per Chu Yuan’s instructions.
While a portion of the powerhouses followed Chu Yuan to the Plunderer Holy City.
“You all travel too slowly, I have the Godship.”
Chu Yuan released the Godship Other Shore, crossing inside the Severed Heavens Mountain, driven by endless energy, with a speed so incredible that even the usual Supreme Beings couldn’t compare.
“A Supreme God Artifact’s Godship that contains a complete universe within!”
Ling Cheng exclaimed.
“Uninformed fellow.”
Blood Rose recognized the origins of this Godship and was also astonished. She inquired, “The Godship Other Shore, Your Majesty actually possesses such a divine object. The Godship Other Shore can avoid many great calamities like the Apocalypse Storm, by staying inside the Godship one can remain unscathed. It is extremely rare, usually held by some ancient powerhouses.”
“You are also aware of the Godship Other Shore,” Chu Yuan said.
“Of course, beyond the thirty-three heavens, in the sky beyond the sky, there is an ancient and mysterious Godship Forbidden Zone; it is said that there is a massively large flagship, a relic from before ancient times, crafted by ancient powerhouses to evade great calamities.”
Blood Rose, with her extraordinary knowledge, added, “I haven’t visited, but I have heard that the Godship Forbidden Zone is a dead zone. That Godship has already sunk, extremely dangerous. Some existences of the Heavenly Dao went there to explore and also perished.”
“Godship Forbidden Zone.”
Chu Yuan nodded.
The Godship in his hand was probably just an auxiliary ship.
Not a product of this era, but from a distant, unimaginably ancient time.
“Just in time; while we are in the Plunderer Holy City, I will stew this pot of snake soup for His Majesty!”
Blood Rose fiercely chopped at the body of the Black Water Mysterious Jiao; the sound was enormous.
Ling Cheng, witnessing this scene, swiftly moved aside, not daring to act unbridly in front of His Majesty like Blood Rose.
“Plunderer Holy City has arrived!”
After some time of sailing, a majestic gigantic city appeared ahead in a part of the Celestial Field, looking like a ferocious beast squatting there, exuding a brutal and predatory force.
This Holy City was vast with a color of blood.
“There are many plunderers in the vast Severed Heavens Mountain across various Celestial Fields, many of whom are supported by major powers behind them. I know of several Supreme plunderers, all backed by major forces within the Severed Heavens Mountain.”
Ling Cheng said.
Chu Yuan was not surprised to hear this.
Though despised and feared, plunderers could carry out the dark deeds for some powers that could not openly be done, quietly working for those forces.
The Plunderer Holy City’s existence was known, though acknowledged as a place of sin, under unspoken rules, many powers tacitly allowed it.
Chu Yuan was no exception; he didn’t plan to directly incorporate these plunderers into the Divine Martial Dynasty’s army but rather use them in a pioneering and plundering mode, to do things the Divine Martial Dynasty couldn’t directly handle.
“There are many illicit goods inside the Holy City, as long as one has enough money.”
Blood Rose whispered into Chu Yuan’s ear.
The existence of the Raider’s Holy City was not only for traders but also provided a shadowy marketplace for multiple powers to trade items that couldn’t be handled openly; this characteristic was also the foundation of its existence.
“Let’s enter the city,”
Chu Yuan said.
“Halt, each person must pay a hundred Primordial Stones to enter.”
At the western city gate, guards stood watch and immediately stopped anyone trying to enter, demanding Primordial Stones.
“Blind fools, we’re entering the city and you dare charge us Primordial Stones, thinking the holy city belongs to you?”
Just as Blood Rose and Chu Yuan were about to enter the city, some shortsighted people tried to charge them Primordial Stones. Blood flashed in her eyes and she drew her sword, swiftly cutting down those who dared to demand the Stones.
Ling Cheng shook his head, wondering why they had to offend Blood Rose of all people.
“This is the way of the Raiders; the weaker you appear, the less seriously they take you. Inside the city, there is no order or rules, only the demonstration of great strength can instill fear in them.”
Blood Rose knew the rules.
“It’s Blood Rose, damn it, she killed our people!”
“Forget it, Blood Rose is powerful, only the Supreme God can handle her. Seeing her infuriated look, she’s clearly in a bad mood, it’s best not to offend her.”
“It’s really hard to swallow this insult.”
…
Upon entering the city, Chu Yuan saw everywhere battles and conflicts; the entire Holy City was like an enormous arena.
Some had obtained illicit goods and wanted to sell them, but before they could make a sale, they were killed just as they revealed a glint of their merchandise.
“The Raider’s Holy City is indeed chaotic, without any rules or order.”
Chu Yuan said.
“A city that isn’t chaotic is even more frightening.”
Blood Rose pointed at several areas, saying, “There are some areas that aren’t chaotic, all secured by the strongest raiders. However, resting or trading there comes with a hefty price; their greed knows no bounds.”
“This too is a form of plunder,” Chu Yuan said.
“What actions should Your Majesty take next?”
Ling Cheng did not dare to verbally spar with Blood Rose and Chu Yuan, instead asking respectfully.
“I have come to the Raider’s Holy City and seen that despite the chaos, there are many rare treasures here, suitable for the Divine Martial Dynasty to strategize around.”
Chu Yuan came to the Raider’s Holy City not to buy something right now, but to personally survey the routes and observe the situation within the Raider’s Holy City.
He needed to understand everything by heart, Emperor’s strategems required keeping everything in his own hands.
There were many illicit goods here, some of which he needed, so he would utilize the unique characteristics of the Raider’s Holy City to have people specifically acquire them.
“I understand!”
Ling Cheng quickly volunteered, “Your Majesty wants to extract resources from the Raider’s Holy City and support raider forces to accomplish in the shadows what the empire can’t openly, what do you need me to do?”
This kind of clever and tactful subordinate made things easy.
“The Blood Rose plunder squad will operate openly, while you, Ling Cheng, will lead a group in secret. My Divine Martial Dynasty will not yet reveal itself; others support raider forces, I shall also provide support, achieving a synergy.”
Chu Yuan said.
“Now that you want to use my plunder squad in the open, what exactly should I do?”
At this moment, Blood Rose looked at Chu Yuan.
“You?” Chu Yuan glanced at her, saying indifferently, “I have already made arrangements.”
