READ WEBNOVEL 68 Chapter 68- Arriving at Cloud City Once Again
This could only be possible if this young man was very strong or had some mysterious backer behind him who was protecting him from the shadows.
Qing Mu had heard of many cases where the children of some big clans run out of their clan to explore the outside world while being secretly protected by elders of their clan.
He thought that this was the case too this time. Although he was a little surprised when he heard the other party correctly recognise the beast.
"I see, you said that you guys were on your way to bring the corpse out of the jungle? May I know what are you going to do with it?"
Yang Chen knew what the other party was planning; however, he cannot just outright ask them where and to whom they are planning to sell the carcass in the city. Because doing so, would reveal that he has been spying on them.
He had to lead the conversation to the main question that he wanted to ask. Fortunately for him, the misunderstanding of this hunter worked out in his favour.
"Haha, this young master might not be aware of it, but the corpses of the demonic beasts can be sold for money. We hunters hunt the demonic and bring its corpse back to exchange it for money".
Qing Mu explained his eyes darting around trying to spot where the mysterious guardian of this young man was. Little did he know that Yang Chen was no young master of some powerful clan but just a reincarnator with no background to speak of.
Nevertheless, it did not mean that he was powerless in front of these hunters. The reason why he was so unafraid while facing so many hunters was because from his viewpoint they weren't even a threat anymore.
Five Eight Star Battle Apprentice, perhaps if it was the him before purchasing that special constitution and finding the ring of that old man, he would have to be cautious around them.
However, with his current strength if he wanted to he could easily end the life of these hunters before they would even be able to move their muscles.
The gigantic gap between a Battle Master and a Battle Apprentice was one of the reasons but the real reason was his special physique and the many battle skills that he learned from the ring. This made the hunters no threat to him at all in his eyes.
"I see… so you guys are planning to sell it. Then my last question, where do you sell these corpses?" Yang Chen asked the question he wanted to know the most.
"Huhh?" the moment he asked them this question, all the hunters made the same confused face. It was not because Yang Chen asked some question which was a trade secret or something, it was just that they were surprised that he who appeared a young master fro their perspective was so interested in the job of a hunter.
"Haha, it's a simple question, we hunters usually sell it to merchant shops and auction houses who evaluate their value and give us an appropriate amount of money in return. Does this answer the young master's question?"
Qing Mu rubbed his hands, he was getting a little impatient from all these questions. If not because had some experience dealing with spoiled brats of rich and powerful clans like them, he would have frustrated out of his mind like Luo Bu already.
"Since we have answered all the questions of this young master, we will excuse ourselves" On Qing Mu's order, the group picked the corpse back up and started walking off.
They did not wait for Yang Chen's reply and scurried off before he could say anything as if like they didn't want to deal with him anymore.
"Ah!" Yang Chen extended his hand towards them before dropping it. He wanted to ask them if he could go with them but the other party ran away before he could do so. Well, he at least learned something from them.
"So you sell the corpses of the demonic beats to auction houses and merchants guilds huh" Yang Chen searched the memories of the previous owner of this body and found out some information about it.
According to the knowledge, the merchant houses were located in the eastern commercial district of the city that was controlled by the Zhang clan.
Meeting the members of the Zhang clan is the thing that he wanted to avoid the most. However, if he wanted to sell these carcasses and earn money he had to take the risk.
"Well, I'll worry about it when the time comes".
Thus Yang Chen after hiding inside the jungle for more than two months, finally stepped outside.
The cloud city where he was headed to, was more than four hours journey from here in a carriage. During the travel, Yang Chen was able to learn that there were two other prominent cities in the north western direction from the borders of the star fall jungle from the passengers. They also told him that the province he was currently in, was the Great Yan Province, named after one of the top five clans of this empire who controlled it.
They gave him a weird look when he asked them that, but in the end, he was also able to learn about the country he was in.
It was called the Tianyun Empire. The cloud city where he was from, was just a small countryside city on the southern corner of the empire. Compared to the other big cities like Yan city and the Snow city, it wasn't even much prosperous.
The only reason it was extant, was because of its trade. Due to the city's proximity to the star fall jungle, hunters often went there to exchange the demonic beast corpse that they hunted. If not for this reason, cloud city would have been just a town.
"Alright everyone, we are here. Get down" the driver of the carriage spat as the carriage came to a stop in front of the city gate.
Soldiers wearing armour checked the identities of all the people before allowing them in.
This was a check post, one wasn't allowed to ride a carriage beyond this point. Your support means a lot!! Please use your power stones to vote for the novel.
