CHAPTER 833: CHAPTER 766 BARGAINING, FOURTH UPDATE

Although the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain is renowned, with fearsome Holy-grade Great Demons lurking deep within, the peripheral areas aren’t considered dangerous. Most demon beasts range from the Acquired to the Demigod Realm, and Divinity Transformation Realm Great Demons are rare. Super Divinity Transformation demons like the Black-Scaled Giant Python are even more uncommon.

Because of this, the regions near the demon domain have become particularly bustling. The demon cores, flesh, fur, demon bones, and other materials from demon beasts are highly lucrative and can be sold at high prices, attracting many cultivators eager to enter the demon domain forests to hunt demons.

In response, towns of various sizes have sprung up along the outskirts of the demon domain, driving the development of this area.

Of course, demon beasts can sometimes go berserk. When a beast tide occurs, it can be a monumental disaster, with unimaginable consequences.

Ye Chen and Gray Dragon, along with Lin Ke’er and others, left the demon domain and arrived in Mohe City, a large city adjacent to the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain. It’s one of the foremost large cities within a million miles of the domain’s edge, remarkably prosperous.

The streets were bustling with people, various shops, cultivators, and ordinary folks, all exuding an air of tranquility.

Since the Tianxu Empire lies at the center of the Ancient God Continent, and the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain spans the southeast regions, Mohe City is in the Southern Domain. It’s far too distant from the Tianxu Empire, separated by tens of millions of miles, such that even a powerful Saint takes considerable time to traverse.

Therefore, one needs to use flying demon beasts in Mohe City to travel to the royal capital of the Hua Country, a powerful kingdom thirty thousand miles away, and then use the teleportation gates established there for quick travel to the Tianxu Imperial City.

Arriving at the east gate, there was a vast plaza with dozens of large Four-winged Serpent Dragons inside.

Despite having ’dragon’ in their name, the Four-winged Serpent Dragons are not of the Dragon Clan and possess no Dragon Blood, merely resembling dragons in appearance. They are demigod realm demon beasts, favored for their strong carrying capacity, fast flight speed, and endurance, making them a popular choice for travel across the Ancient God Continent.

After all, no cultivator enjoys constantly flying in the sky, as it leads to significant divine power depletion.

Moreover, the Ancient God Continent uses a currency called Ancient God Coin, unlike the spiritual stones of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, though they also contain scarce spiritual energy as a distinguishment.

At this moment, many were selecting Four-winged Serpent Dragons, all dressed in luxurious attire since the fare for these dragons is steep, beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

The emergence of Lin Ke’er and her group immediately drew attention, especially Lin Ke’er, whose exquisite beauty and flawless, snow-white skin stood out distinctly.

Her beautiful dress outlined her graceful figure, making her an attractive young lady, naturally catching the eye.

However, when Gray Dragon appeared, all the Four-winged Serpent Dragons in the vast plaza suddenly trembled intensely, lowering their heads in fright and emitting terrified cries with eyes full of fear.

This scene left everyone stunned and bewildered, wondering what had just happened to make these Four-winged Serpent Dragons react this way.

Especially the beast tamers on the plaza, who quickly swung their whips, which had sharp barbs, striking the Four-winged Serpent Dragons, leaving gruesome, bloody whip marks.

Usually, such whipping would cause them to scream in terror, yet at this moment, they silently endured the whipping without a sound.

It was simply unbelievable.

"Gray Dragon."

Ye Chen glanced at Gray Dragon, who immediately reined in his aura. It was his unconsciously released demon power. Not only was he a Demon Saint, but he also carried the blood of the Half-Dragon Clan, something these mere demigod beasts could not withstand.

Once the demon power was restrained, the Four-winged Serpent Dragons on the plaza gradually calmed down, leaving everyone perplexed, as they had never seen such terror from these dragons before.

Whatever the reason, they couldn’t figure it out and just let it go. The plaza staff quickly apologized to the numerous customers.

Only Lin Ke’er, Ouyang Jiajia, and others stared curiously at the mysterious Gray Dragon in the green robe. After Ye Chen called his name, everything returned to normal, suggesting the cause might be related to Gray Dragon.

Who exactly was this enigmatic Gray Dragon?

Before long, a shrewd elder in splendid attire hurried over, first bowing slightly and then smiling, "Honored guests, I’m sorry to keep you waiting. Where would you like to go? Our Jiugou Trading Company’s Four-winged Serpent Dragons will provide you with the safest and most comfortable journey."

This elder’s gentle tone and appropriate words skillfully bridged the gap between them.

"Hua Country Capital," Zhao Feng spoke, stating the destination.

"Eight of you?" The elder glanced at them and asked.

Lin Ke’er nodded.

"One thousand Ancient God Coins per person, eight thousand in total!" The elder stated.

Upon hearing this, the group inhaled sharply. Eight thousand Ancient God Coins was indeed quite steep.

Even Ye Chen, aware of the value of Ancient God Coins, thought so.

One should know that on the Ancient God Continent, an Ancient God Coin is worth much more than ordinary gold and silver coins, being a currency exchanged among cultivators, naturally valuable.

It’s akin to eight thousand catties of spirit stones among cultivators, but just for a mere several hundred thousand miles journey; who could accept it?

"Sorry, we can’t accept this price."

Lin Ke’er immediately declined. Despite her gentle and kind nature, the group comprised young elites and noble ladies from major forces, who knew the prices well and naturally refused.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all young heavenly prides from major powers, while we are just a small business. This price is already quite favorable. If even eight thousand Ancient God Coins won’t do, our business truly can’t survive," the elder appeared troubled, even with misty eyes, looking pitiable, invoking sympathy.

Lin Ke’er felt pity, yet Zhao Feng and the others were unwilling.

After a round of bargaining, they settled at five thousand Ancient God Coins. Any lower, and the elder would not agree.

Lin Ke’er paid the five thousand Ancient God Coins and chose a sturdy Four-winged Serpent Dragon, which had a finely decorated cabin inscribed with Dao Traces to prevent the wind. The group boarded for a stable rest, and the Four-winged Serpent Dragon naturally carried them to their destination.
