Thousands of years of savings,
Turned to nothing in an instant.
He had only come here to avenge his disciple.
Who could have known he'd stumble into such a dragon's den, a tiger's lair?
Yang Qiu had no doubt about the Heavenly Mechanism Tower's master's strength, but when it came to the information in his hands, he was very uneasy.
The problem was,
The reputation of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower was too small.
He had never heard of it before.
Could it be that such a great opportunity would fall to someone like him?
“This time, it's just a lesson learned by losing some wealth.”
Yang Qiu consoled himself in his heart.
Next time,
If another disciple dies, he would definitely stop caring. If he gets involved, he would end up losing everything. If he comes back again, his life would be on the line.
He took out the jade slip and looked at it once more.
“Sigh.”
Yang Qiu sighed deeply.
Everything he owned had been exchanged for this, but he still couldn't be sure of its authenticity.
“The Hundred Cut Mountain Range...”
Yang Qiu's expression shifted. He seemed to have heard of this place before.
It seemed to be only about four to five hundred thousand miles away, which wasn't too far. It would be perfect for him to check it out. With his Saint Lord-level strength, he could make the round trip in half a day without wasting too much time.
If it's real, it would be perfect, but if it's fake...
Even if it's fake, there didn't seem to be anything he could do about it with the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
The master of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower was too powerful. The entire Nine Nether Demon Sect combined wouldn't be a match for them.
Yang Qiu's face was filled with worry as he looked in the direction of the Hundred Cut Mountain Range.
Having spent so much money, he couldn't help but feel uneasy if he didn't check out the Hundred Cut Mountain Range.
Even if he was scammed,
He had to at least see it for himself.
He needed some closure.
Once he made up his mind, Yang Qiu didn't hesitate. He took a step forward and vanished from the Great Wasteland City. He reappeared several thousand miles away in an instant.
...
“City Lord... That powerhouse from the Demon Path, it seems like he's left...”
In a secluded alley of the Great Wasteland City, two figures emerged. They glanced at the direction in which Yang Qiu had left and then looked over at the Heavenly Mechanism Tower not far away.
“I saw it!”
The City Lord of Great Wasteland City was ecstatic.
The imminent threat of the city's destruction had just vanished, and he felt like he was in a dream. It all seemed so unreal.
“When did the Heavenly Mechanism Tower exist?”
The City Lord, a round man, trembled slightly, his eyes sparkling with a strange light.
“Sir, we are not sure.”
Beside him, a guard respectfully replied.
“Hmm...?”
The City Lord turned to look at the guard and then waved his hand. “It's normal that you don't know. A person who even Saints need to treat carefully... how could we possibly investigate them?”
Just now, when Yang Qiu had left, his respectful demeanor had been clear for both of them to see.
This meant,
The Heavenly Mechanism Tower definitely housed someone terrifying—at least someone far stronger than Saint Lords. Otherwise, how could someone like Yang Qiu be so respectful?
“I never expected that one day, Great Wasteland City would turn its fortune around!”
The City Lord paced back and forth, muttering to himself.
Their Great Wasteland City was far too weak. In the entire cultivation world, they were just a speck of dust. They had no backing, and even encountering a Saint Lord-level figure was a rare event.
Even seeing an inner disciple or a core disciple of a major sect would mean they'd treat them like a revered ancestor.
“If only Great Wasteland City could latch onto the thigh of the senior from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower...”
The City Lord thought of the crucial point.
His entire body trembled with excitement.
That was a Saint Lord-level figure, someone whom even the most powerful figures respected!
With such a person supporting them,
Wouldn't Great Wasteland City rise to prominence in an instant?
At least they wouldn't have to bow to those major sects anymore.
“I must go and pay my respects to the senior!”
He said,
And the City Lord immediately headed toward the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
“City Lord!”
The guard who had spoken earlier hurriedly caught up, saying, “The senior in the Heavenly Mechanism Tower is definitely a powerful person. We're empty-handed right now. Isn't it a bit... inappropriate to visit without any proper offerings?”
“Hmm?”
The City Lord immediately stopped, smacking his forehead in regret, saying, “Good thing you reminded me! Otherwise, I would have made a huge mistake!”
Although Great Wasteland City was small, it had all the essentials.
In addition to his own faction,
There were two other major families, both of which had their eyes on the position of City Lord. If he offended a senior from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, that would be a serious issue.
What if that powerful figure got unhappy and removed him from his position as City Lord?
In such a case,
The other two family leaders would probably be laughing in their sleep.
“I'll go prepare some heavy gifts, and you take them with the formal invitation. While you're at it, try to gauge the senior's attitude. If he's willing...”
The City Lord paused, then said, “I will offer him the position of guest elder. He doesn't need to do anything, just agree that if our Great Wasteland City faces a great disaster, he can step in once to help!”
The City Lord had already made up his mind.
A person who could make even a Saint Lord show such respect must be someone of unfathomable power.
Trying to recruit them would be like a dream.
The best option was to ask for a favor.
As long as there was some kind of connection, anyone else who tried to provoke Great Wasteland City would have to think twice.
“I'll go prepare now!”
The guard said respectfully.
“Mm, go ahead.”
The City Lord nodded.
