Ling Tian Sword God

Seeing that Ling Chen still wanted to say more, she waved her hand, ”Alright, no need to explain. You all are planning to go out, right? Just as well, we are also heading out. Let’s go together. The West Market of the Divine Capital is quite interesting. It’s a place where merchants from the Central Region gather. I think Ling Yu’s cousin will find it quite intriguing.”

”West Market?”

Ling Chen was taken aback.

”That’s right.” Ling Xue nodded, ”The Central Region is the most ancient part of the Nine Provinces Land. This land is filled with numerous ancient relics and treasures, and the West Market of the Divine Capital is the place where such treasures are sold. Although all the good stuff has already been bought, you might still find something valuable among the second and third-rate items.”

”Previously, there was even an unearthed divine artefact found in the West Market, which caused quite a disturbance.”

”Divine Artefact?”

Ling Chen was somewhat dumbfounded. Such a treasure, even in the Saint Family, would be considered precious, and to think it could be found here, it’s no wonder it caused an uproar.

”That’s quite interesting indeed.”

Gradually collecting himself from the shock, Ling Chen rubbed his chin and smiled, truthfully feeling a bit of interest rising within him. He then said, ”Alright, let’s go take a look at this West Market.”

The West Market area is arguably one of the most popular regions in the middle of Shen Du. The treasures appearing here are of relatively good quality, provided you have sufficient wealth.

When the three of them entered the West Market area, the overwhelming clamor hit them like a flood, causing the eardrums to tingle slightly.

The West Market domain is extremely vast, yet even so, on its spacious streets, Ling Chen could still see the terrifying human traffic.

In the West Market, there were many shops and stalls filled with various strange and fascinating items, drawing the attention of passersby.

”Ancient Martial Arts Lotus Divine Palm, as powerful as Sacred Martial Arts, only thirty thousand Spirit Nurturing Pills!”

”New Life Creation Pill, double your strength upon consumption, saves ten years of cultivation, only fifty thousand Spirit Nurturing Pills.”

”...”

Walking through the West Market, listening to the various shouts around them, the three of them found it somewhat laughable and frustrating. At first, they were drawn by these shouts, but they quickly realized that what was purported to be Ancient Martial Arts was nothing more than a common King-level Lower Martial Art, and the elixir only had a minimal effect on enhancing power, heavily exaggerated.

As Ling Chen and the others strolled leisurely, they slowly reached the deeper parts of the market, where the hawking was less frequent, and the quality of the goods was noticeably higher.

There were some items here that caught Ling Chen’s eye, yet none aroused his desire to purchase. However, the two ladies, Lan Xingling and Ling Xue, were quite excited and lively, buying a lot of things in one go.

Ling Chen trailed behind, occasionally inquiring about the prices of peculiar items, but found nothing particularly satisfactory.

While Ling Chen was looking to the sides, he suddenly noticed some commotion ahead. Looking up, he saw a crowd gathering, and among them, a girl’s sharp reprimand could be heard faintly.

Upon hearing this voice, Ling Chen frowned slightly. The voice’s owner was evidently Lan Xingling. He hastened his steps towards the crowd.

Upon entering the crowd, he saw Lan Xingling looking furious. Ling Xue stood beside her, and in front of them were two yellow-clad young men with cynical smiles, one of whom was tossing a blue bracelet in his hand, faint water attribute waves emanating from it, indicating it was quite a good treasure.

”Mr. Li, we chose this bracelet first, and yet you suddenly intervene. What do you mean by this?”

Ling Xue looked coldly at the yellow-clad youths.

”No meaning. Since you haven’t paid for it yet, the bracelet is ownerless. We bought it, so why not?”

The leading yellow-clad youth laughed sinisterly, clearly not taking Ling Xue seriously.

”Heh, if you ask me, how about this: if you two agree to spend the night with us brothers, we’ll gift this bracelet to you for free. How about that?”

The other yellow-clad youth’s eyes shone lecherously, his gaze roaming over Ling Xue and Lan Xingling’s figures, grinningly provoking.

”Shameless scoundrels!”

Lan Xingling’s pretty face darkened, a layer of True Qi surged in her palm, and fiercely struck towards the disrespectful yellow-clad youth with a palm imbued with blue True Qi.

”To dare make a move in the middle of Shen Du, girl, that’s a crime of disrespect. Let me capture you and take you back to slowly punish!”

The yellow-clad youth seemed unfazed, becoming even more brazen. With a stomp, a surge of golden True Qi burst from his body, vaguely manifesting as a golden giant dragon emerging.

”Your Highness? Are you of the Imperial Clan?”

Ling Xue’s pretty face shifted slightly.

In this Divine Capital, only core members of the Imperial Clan and individuals of Prince Level could call themselves ’Your Highness.’

”Now you understand, but it’s too late!”

The leader youth’s lips curled with a sinister grin as he boldly attacked. His right hand shaped into a claw, forming a ferocious dragon claw, reaching towards Ling Xue.

Ling Xue, being one of the Ling Family Four Heroes and second only to Ling Yuxuan, was naturally not someone to be bullied. She drew her Ice Soul Sword, tracing a cold trajectory in the air to meet the attack.

”These two young ladies are really unlucky, to have gotten involved with these two. Today they might not be able to keep their honor.”

Seeing both sides engaged in a skirmish, an onlooking vendor shook his head and sighed.

”Old brother, who are these two?”

Ling Chen did not rush to act, instead asking the vendor.

”You don’t recognize them, must be your first time in the Divine Capital.”

The vendor looked at Ling Chen with some surprise, then pointed to one of the yellow-clad youths, ”The leading youth is the current Imperial Clan’s Third Prince Li Yun He, and the other is the Sixth Prince Li Tian Yi.”

”These two are notorious playboys in Shen Du, using their princely status to take advantage of countless young ladies over the years. Now these two young women have caught their eye, it’s likely a bad outcome for them.” The vendor sighed again.

”Prince? Isn’t the current Empress only in her thirties? How could she have such old sons?”

Ling Chen stared in astonishment at the two princes. Both looked at least in their twenties. How could the Empress Yun Yao have children of such age?
