Chapter 1169: Chapter 335: True Ape Howls to the Sky, Heart Organ and Divine Fetus Formed—Father Disagrees with This Marriage Proposal [Monthly Ticket Requested]
The nine cities are arranged like steps, clearly dividing the hierarchy.
The nine cities are said to be interconnected, yet they are not. For the powerful, they are naturally connected, but for ordinary people, one city might be the sky for their entire lives.
The Ninth City, the houses and buildings are also quite luxurious. Although it’s said that among the nine cities, the Ninth City is the most impoverished, just by looking at the architectural quality, it’s not at all inferior to Qianyuan Taoist City, and in the Divine Capital, the cost of living is high, making housing extremely expensive.
Even a Great Grandmaster from outside finds it quite difficult to own property in the Divine Capital.
Rumble—
Deep into the night.
The river wind blows fiercely, rippling the waters, sending waves across the surface.
As they get closer to the port, the river surface becomes even wider. The port’s riverside is constructed vast and high, with numerous small boats anchored. However, all these boats have now been moved away, leaving a large open space.
The Ninth City’s port is bustling with noise, even at this late hour, the sound of voices is unending. The many small people struggling to survive in the Divine Capital surely won’t miss this excellent money-making opportunity.
One by one, rare and luxurious treasure ships usually moored at the port, from which descend the cultivators of the Divine Sects from various Taoist cities.
The citizens of the Ninth City are aware that these Divine Sect members have come to attend the Empress of Great Vista’s upcoming [Flat Peach Victory Meeting]. For them, each Flat Peach Victory Meeting is a rare opportunity to relieve the pressure in their harsh lives.
There are lively scenes to watch, and sometimes there might be cheap goods to pick up.
The noble lords of the Upper Three Cities, if they’re in good spirits, might even bestow plenty of Gold Leaf, allowing these common folk a few good months’ worth of days.
“That’s the treasure ship of the Guangling Dao Heavenly Pill Divine Sect! Heavenly Pill Divine Sect… claimed to be the second wealthiest Divine Sect in the world! The oil dripping from the Divine Sect disciples’ fingers is enough to fill our plates and bowls!”
“Second wealthiest? Then who’s the wealthiest?”
“Nonsense, of course it’s the Seven Treasures Divine Sect of Dragon Abyss Path. It’s said that the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Divine Sect has a Divine Weapon Treasure Cauldron that can produce Gold Leaf, wealth beyond compare!”
“Impressive, that’s Qingyun Road’s Xuanfu Divine Sect, right? I heard the female disciples of the Xuanfu Divine Sect are all of stunning beauty, like fairies from the heavens.”
“Here they come, Jiangnan Dao’s Haoran Academy! All scholars, I heard that the top scholars in Great Vista’s imperial examinations come from Jiangnan Dao!”
…
At the port, the sound of voices filled the air, heads crowded together, and the cold night wind could not suppress the enthusiasm of the residents of the Ninth City in the Divine Capital.
A large mob charged toward the Divine Sect disciples disembarking from the treasure ships.
Some offered to guide the way, some offered to find inns, some offered to act as servants, and some sought patronage…
It’s only fair to say that the people of the Divine Capital are truly insane in their struggle for survival.
Suddenly.
A gigantic Mystic Dragon Battleship slowly approached, tearing through the thick mist of the night, docking at the shore.
Subsequently, everyone felt an extremely oppressive aura sweeping continuously.
The citizens of the Ninth City suddenly fell silent.
This Mystic Dragon Battleship, in which their ancestors had lived all their lives in this Ninth City, was naturally well-known to them.
It is the Black Armored Xuanlong Battleship of Ji Moli, one of the Eight Great Vassal Kings of Great Vista!
“Is it King Ping Luan Ji Moli?”
“I wonder how many of the Eight Great Vassal Kings will come to the Imperial Court’s Flat Peach Victory Meeting this time… I’ve heard that quite a few Vassal Kings have rebelled.”
“It seems like these are rumors spread by gossipers. Isn’t this King of Quelling Chaos the most mentioned rebel?”
“What do gossipers know, if King of Quelling Chaos dares to come to the Divine Capital, what does that tell you? It tells you that he could not possibly have rebelled; if he did, would he still dare to come to the Divine Capital?”
…
The citizens whispered softly among themselves.
The boarding ladder lowered.
Ji Moli, clad in profound black armor, stood helmetless, his majestic figure exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.
Behind him followed four even more burly and sturdy figures, wearing masks with blue faces and fangs.
They were Ji Moli’s four proud sons, some carried a lute, some wielded a long sword, some shouldered a treasure umbrella…
Diverse in posture, each figure was over three meters tall, as imposing as small mountains, filled with a sense of oppression, and the thick scent of blood surged like waves.
Unfortunately, one of his sons, Ji Lishou, has died, and now among these four sons, one is a fake, disguised by Ji Moli’s eldest disciple.
All the citizens were overwhelmed by the oppressive force, trembling uncontrollably, unable to resist.
Ji Moli’s prestige was such that it was rumored he was someone who killed without blinking.
Ji Moli walked with his hands folded behind his back, not giving any attention to these ant-like commoners, his eyes didn’t register them at all.
“Lord Ji, long time no see.”
Gu Changqing, the Sect Master of Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, in a comfortable long robe, fluttered in the wind, clasped his fists and greeted Ji Moli.
Also, Ning Caisen, the Sect Master of Seven Treasures Divine Sect, made a gesture of courtesy.
As for the other Divine Sect Masters, they weren’t as friendly towards Ji Moli.
“Has the Qian Yuan Divine Sect’s treasure ship not arrived yet?”
Gu Changqing squinted his eyes, smiling as he spoke.
However, a glint of heartache flashed in his eyes.
He had lost a Heavenly Pill Vajra to Lv Taibai, and that had cost him three Fourth Rank Middle Stage heavenly pills!
Ji Moli glanced at him, seemingly aware of something, and let out a sneer.
Suddenly, his sneer stopped.
A faint voice carried a hint of coldness.
“Isn’t it here?”
“Hmm?!”
Ji Moli halted his steps, clad in Profound Black Dragon Armor, turned around with hands folded.
