Chapter 483: Chapter 223: The Den of Ten Thousand Serpents—Inspection Envoy and Demon Hunter Arrive, Trade Conference (Two-in-One)_3

Xu Guang stood in the distance, quietly watching, like a god who held their lives in his hands.

Thankfully, Jiang Zi Yun walked over from the side, holding onto his arm.

"Brother Guang..."

Xu Guang took one last look at the few figures kneeling, smiled, "It’s nothing."

Not until the man and woman left did the people who had spoken earlier finally breathe a sigh of relief, "Who was that? So terrifying."

"I don’t know, but at least a Fourth Grade expert."

"What are you looking at? Get lost!"

The group couldn’t afford to offend Xu Guang, so they could only vent all their emotions on the surrounding pedestrians.

Of course, the pedestrians couldn’t afford to provoke them, but some had recognized Xu Guang’s identity earlier, looking at them with a hint of mockery in their eyes.

These young masters suffered grievances in public, but will they seek revenge?

The group looked displeased, somewhat dissatisfied, at the person who had spoken recklessly before, with a hint of blame.

"So what if he’s a Fourth Grade? Don’t we each have a Third Grade expert backing us? Rest assured, the face we lost today, our uncles will surely help us regain it."

As soon as the words fell, everyone wanted to say something.

Suddenly, they found that the speaker clutched his own throat, showing a pained expression as if enduring an unbearable pain, air poured out from his nose with a whoosh, and tiny strange green things emanated from his mouth and nose. In an instant, his vitality was rapidly extinguished in an indescribable manner.

Just a moment later, this person was dead, soul extinguished.

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

...

Xu Guang accompanied Jiang Zi Yun strolling on the main street of Qixia Island, walking and stopping, tasting dishes from various regions, thoroughly enjoying it.

They passed through the street and arrived beneath a place called a restaurant, though it wasn’t built lavishly, merely a simple bamboo building with two huge black lions at the entrance, looking very mighty.

A plaque hung above it, ’Exotic Things House.’

At the door stood protector guards watching, each with a steady aura, eyes occasionally flashing with sharp glimmers, clearly no ordinary guards.

Xu Guang stepped forward and took out the invitation he obtained from Gongsun Wang some time ago, showing it in front of the guards.

"Greetings to Sect Leader Xu, this is the emblem of an esteemed guest entering. Please, go ahead."

The guard said this, handing over a metal token with a number on it.

Xu Guang nodded, accepted the token from the guard, and entered with Jiang Zi Yun.

This is a gathering place for top experts of Li Taizhou.

Just upon entering the mansion, his whole body felt a chill, as if scanned by something over his entire body.

This is a form of Feng Shui magic array.

It seems those Second Grade experts had gone to great lengths for this auction.

...

At sea.

A massive tower ship continued to sail forward.

Gu Shuo stood at the ship’s bow, looking at the silhouette in the distance shrouded in shadow.

"I heard before that things in Li Taizhou are complicated, watched by two Ancient Gods, and I wonder how many people are named on the merit list here."

"The Ancient Angel wants to bring out everyone on the Li Taizhou merit list? I disagree!"

Speaking was a young man with a proud face, a prince from an imperial dynasty of the Northern Six States. Upon hearing this news from Gu Shuo’s disciple today, he was very dissatisfied.

The Northern Six Institutes only recruit so many disciples every century, even if bringing them out doesn’t directly put them in the Northern Six Institutes, it at least gives them a chance to compete to enter the institutes. Think of the efforts us descendants of imperial lands have to put in before the Demon Hunters notice us.

Just because Li Taizhou is watched by Ancient Gods and seems pitiful? Do we have to hand over the opportunities we fought hard for to them on a silver platter?

Discontent is contagious.

Gu Shuo stood high on the deck at the bow, quietly watching the people below.

"This is My decision, Li Chen, what right do you have to question Me?"

The young man was instantly silent, his face turning red and blue, in public, being reprimanded so harshly by Gu Shuo truly crushed his dignity.

But in the face of Gu Shuo, a flushed face was useless.

Li Chen lowered his head, "I dare not."

Gu Shuo snorted coldly, turned, and left.

Everyone looked at Li Chen strangely, though they did not dare mock too openly in front of him, but the odd looks in their eyes drove Li Chen crazy.

Li Chen had a sullen face, stormed into the cabin, a few followers around him glared viciously at the surrounding people.

"What are you looking at."

Yet, everyone on this ship was a genius of the Great States, naturally not afraid of a group of so-called prince’s followers, though they didn’t intend to offend Li Chen, they dismissed him with cold smiles and walked away.

A few of the followers quickly walked into the cabin, "Fourth Prince, are you alright?"

"Do I look alright to you?"

Li Chen shouted angrily, directly throwing the cup in his hand, his face sullen thinking of what his father had said before he left.

’The Crown Prince is weak, you must strive hard. When you come out of the Northern Six Institutes, it’ll be time for Me to rest.’

Based solely on what his father said, he would go all out to enter the Northern Six Institutes and become a Demon Hunter that stuns the world.

"Fourth Prince, does the Ancient Angel value the people of Li Taizhou so much because there is some extraordinary genius over there?"

Li Chen’s expression froze, recalling Gu Shuo’s attitude toward Li Taizhou, it was indeed slightly ambiguous.

It seemed as if he knew something about the situation.

Could there really be someone already guaranteed a spot?

The Northern Six Institutes have extremely stringent criteria for accepting disciples, does Gu Shuo have such authority?
