Chapter 829, Humiliation Before the Transport Array

Translator: Silavin

“Chen Feng…” Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly, his heart silently repeating this name that countless people dreaded.

He naturally would not actively provoke that kind of trouble, even if that dismissive gaze just now had made him quite uncomfortable.

[I too hope there won’t be any conflict.] Qin Yichen smiled faintly, a sharp gleam flickering in his eyes.

After entering the Saints City, Dong Yu directly led Qin Yichen towards the location of the Transport Array.

In the centre of the Saints City, there was an enormous Array. Around the Array, a type of heart-stopping energy fluctuation rippled outwards.

At this moment, around this Array, several dozen figures were already standing.

“Each time the Transport Array is used, one must pay one Mid Grade Spirit Seed, and once a hundred people have gathered, the Transport Array will activate.” Dong Yu explained to Qin Yichen.

“Then, we still have to wait?” Qin Yichen’s brows furrowed slightly. There were only fifty or sixty people present. If they needed to gather a hundred, wouldn’t they have to wait for quite a while?

“That’s only a rule that applies to ordinary people. We people from the Sacred Lands naturally don’t need to wait.” Dong Yu chuckled lightly and said. As his words fell, he seemed to recall something, his expression dimming somewhat.

Though he keenly noticed the change in Dong Yu’s expression, since the latter had no intention of explaining, Qin Yichen did not actively ask.

When the crowd waiting around the Transport Array saw the pattern on Dong Yu’s chest symbolising the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, they immediately made way, creating a passage wide enough for two people to pass through.

Subsequently, under the watchful gazes of numerous eyes, Dong Yu led Qin Yichen straight to the Transport Array.

“Two people, two High Grade Spirit Seeds.”

Upon arriving at the Transport Array, a Disciple dressed in Radiance Sacred Land attire glanced at them from the side, a trace of disdain flashing through his eyes, as his neither cold nor warm voice rang out.

The energy fluctuation emanating from this person was merely at the Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm. Clearly, he was just one of the average Outer Disciples of Radiance Sacred Land.

However, facing this somewhat discourteous individual, Dong Yu not only did not get angry, but instead wore a smiling face, saying. “Little Brother, it’s one person. Only he is going, I’m not.”

“One person?” That Peak Stage Martial Emperor youth swept his gaze over the two of them. When he sensed that the energy fluctuation from Qin Yichen was merely at the Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up in a playful smile.

“Whether you’re one person or two people, the fee is two High Grade Spirit Seeds.” He waved his hand dismissively, speaking with some impatience.

Hearing these words, Dong Yu’s expression could not help but change. Compared to ordinary people, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land possessed considerable privileges in the Saints City.

For instance, this Transport Array was one such privilege. As people of the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, using the Transport Array required no waiting, but payment had to be made per person.

However, all along, it had always been one High Grade Spirit Seed per person. There had never been a time when one person needed to pay two High Grade Spirit Seeds!

In short, this youth was deliberately making things difficult for them!

At this moment, the several dozen people in the surroundings also looked towards them with mockery in their eyes.

Although the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land possessed the name of a Sacred Land, its strength had never entered the top ten, falling into the last one or two positions.

Being bullied like this by other Sacred Lands was not the first time such a thing had happened in Saints City.

However, doing so in broad daylight was somewhat unexpected.

Seeing Dong Yu’s expression darken, remaining somewhat silent, that Peak Stage Martial Emperor youth became even more unbridled. “If you want to go, hurry up and pay. If you don’t have money, wait with them. It only requires one Mid Grade Spirit Seed there. What kind of rubbish Sacred Land can’t even afford two High Grade Spirit Seed?”

As an Outer Sect Manager of the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, when had Dong Yu ever been berated like this?

Upon hearing this undisguised mockery, he immediately felt his face burning, and a long-dormant fury also ignited from the bottom of his heart.

However, when he saw the Radiance Sacred Land emblem on the latter’s chest, his expression immediately dimmed. Just now he had been teaching Qin Yichen never to conflict with people from these two Sacred Lands, because they could not afford to provoke the Radiance Sacred Land!

“We’ll pay, we’ll pay…” Even though he knew this was blatant extortion, Dong Yu still suppressed the anger in his heart, taking out two High Grade Spirit Seeds from his bosom and passing them towards that youth.

“Two pieces? Hehe, because of your delay, it’s now become three pieces!”

However, that Peak Stage Martial Emperor youth did not extend his hand to receive them. That voice carrying teasing undertones rang out again, and beside him, several other Radiance Sacred Land youths all laughed.

Even amongst the numerous figures in the surroundings, sounds of suppressed laughter erupted.

Being able to see people from the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land suffer such humiliation gave these onlookers a perverse sense of satisfaction.

This naked extortion made Dong Yu’s expression dark. However, he knew that if he said anything more, not only would he gain nothing, but it would very likely make the latter become even more aggressive.

Immediately, he could only take out another High Grade Spirit Seed and pass them all over together.

Qin Yichen, standing to the side, had remained silent the entire time. His eyes narrowed slightly, sweeping around in a circle, secretly memorising the faces of these bastards in his heart.

In his previous life, when he was at the Roaring Heaven Sacred Land, he had often borrowed this Saints City’s Transport Array, but he had never paid any fees!

This was clearly because the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s strength was not enough, which was why they were bullied like this by people from the Radiance Sacred Land!

Regarding this, Qin Yichen did not reveal any dissatisfaction. He knew that without sufficient strength, even a Sacred Land would inevitably encounter such situations!

“Smart of you.” After receiving the three High Grade Spirit Seeds, that Peak Stage Martial Emperor youth casually tossed them about, laughing mockingly.

Subsequently, under Dong Yu and Qin Yichen’s watchful gaze, he directly distributed the three High Grade Spirit Seeds to the two youths beside him. One piece in each person’s hand!

This action plainly announced to everyone that these Spirit Seeds were deliberately extorted by him!

“Then activate the Transport Array…” Dong Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, his voice somewhat hoarse as he called out.

“Go on up.” Glancing indifferently at Dong Yu and Qin Yichen, that youth didn’t make things difficult this time. Perhaps he felt that what he’d done just now was enough. Further humiliation would no longer bring him satisfaction.

With Qin Yichen’s entry, this enormous Transport Array blazed with light, an obscure fluctuation slowly filling it, enveloping Qin Yichen’s figure.

*Whoosh!* Finally, a beam of light erupted from above the Transport Array, and Qin Yichen’s figure disappeared within the Transport Array.
