Chapter 187: On the Way to Zhongzhou! Space Tunnel!
After Xiao Ze attended to the affairs of the Academy, the Xiao Family, and the Dark Court, ten days had already passed.
Although he could have delegated these tasks to others, Xiao Ze couldn't help but get involved, as all these matters were directly related to him.
Mainly, it was about preparing and refining medicinal pills for them.
The journey from Black Horn Domain to Zhongzhou was long, and he didn't know when he could return. So he tried to leave everything in order as best as possible.
Xiao Ze also decided who would accompany him to Zhongzhou. The rainbow sky-devouring serpent would naturally follow him.
Zi Yan would also go with him, both by her own decision and at the Great Elder's recommendation.
The last person he chose was Qing Lin.
Since Xiao Ze had taken her directly to the Jia Nan Academy, she hadn't had the opportunity to receive training from the Tian Serpent Mansion. So Xiao Ze took charge of her training.
With his own Hundred Eyes Green Serpent, Xiao Ze felt confident he could train Qing Lin much better than the Tian Serpent Mansion.
On the other hand, Xiao Yi Xian would stay to manage the Dark Court and couldn't accompany Xiao Ze to Zhongzhou.
Before leaving, Xiao Ze took Qing Lin and Zi Yan to the headquarters of the Dark Court.
Xiao Yi Xian, noticing Xiao Ze and the others arriving, dismissed the Golden and Silver Elders who were by her side.
The Golden and Silver Elders, with submissive looks, obediently disappeared.
"I see that during this time you've managed to discipline the Golden and Silver Elders well, Xiao Yi Xian," said Xiao Ze, smiling at the elders' obedient attitude.
"It was necessary! For the people of Black Horn Domain, you have to be like this. A few days ago, they disobeyed an order and killed some innocent maids. I severely punished them," responded Xiao Yi Xian, gritting her teeth.
"Well, thank you for your effort, Xiao Yi Xian," sighed Xiao Ze, taking Xiao Yi Xian's hand.
"It's no problem, I was already prepared for this. I was born with a poisonous body, and if it weren't for you, I would have been rejected and hunted by everyone," said Xiao Yi Xian with a sad smile.
"Compared to those days, being in the Dark Court dealing with these criminals is not so bad."
The present kept silent, with Xiao Yi Xian breaking the tension with a laugh.
"Didn't you come to say goodbye to me? Don't stay silent now."
"Ha ha, that's right. I'm going to the Dan Tower, and I might not come back for a long time. Be very careful here, and prioritize your safety," said Xiao Ze, laughing while giving advice to Xiao Yi Xian.
Qing Lin and Zi Yan also said goodbye to Xiao Yi Xian with affectionate words.
After a while, Xiao Yi Xian watched the three leave with tears in her eyes.
"Maybe, when the affairs of the Dark Court stabilize, I can go to Zhongzhou too..."
Murmured Xiao Yi Xian, clenching her fist and putting on a mask and a cape.
In a place full of criminals, her appearance could make her underestimated, so she chose to hide it to add an air of mystery and manage the Dark Court better.
Elsewhere, after several days of continuous flight, Xiao Ze finally arrived in a prosperous city, Tianya City.
He carried Qing Lin in his arms and Zi Yan on his back.
Qing Lin had not yet reached the Dou Wang level, so Xiao Ze had to carry her.
Zi Yan, although she could fly, halfway also asked to be carried, saying that her energy was exhausted.
Xiao Ze couldn't help but carry her.
Despite the days of continuous flight, Xiao Ze didn't feel tired.
"The only city within a thousand miles with a space tunnel. No wonder it's so prosperous."
While Xiao Ze reflected, two Dou Huang approached, greeting him respectfully.
"Greetings, sir. What brings you to Tianya City?"
Although Xiao Ze and the girls wore capes, the Dou Huang could see that Xiao Ze could fly, indicating his level of power.
"I need to use the space tunnel of your city," said Xiao Ze with an aged voice. Qing Lin and Zi Yan understood and remained silent.
"I understand, please follow me," said one of the Dou Huang, relieved that he didn't come to cause trouble.
A Dou Huang guided Xiao Ze to the space tunnel, while the other ran to inform his clan about the arrival of the powerful stranger.
The elder of the Luo clan, upon hearing, quickly headed to the space tunnel.
Xiao Ze arrived at the space tunnel, seeing the vast black hole filled with spatial energy.
Zi Yan and Qing Lin looked at the tunnel with curiosity.
"My previous spaceship was damaged in a fight. Do you have any for sale?" asked Xiao Ze.
"Yes, what kind of ship are you looking for?" replied the Dou Huang.
Before Xiao Ze could respond, a laugh echoed.
"Ha, ha, ha, sir, don't let him spend his money. We will give him a spaceship."
An elder in a blue robe appeared, holding a small wooden boat with silver flashes of spatial energy.
"I can't accept something without giving something in return. I'd rather pay," said Xiao Ze, shaking his head.
The elder, seeing Xiao Ze's determination, gave up, recognizing that he couldn't gauge the stranger's strength but feeling a latent danger.
The elder of the Luo clan proposed a price.
"So... two million gold coins?"
"Alright," Xiao Ze nodded. According to the original, each spaceship was expensive. The one from the Luo clan seemed of high quality.
He paid the price, and with Qing Lin and Zi Yan, entered the space tunnel.
The elder of the Luo clan sighed in relief seeing the mysterious stranger leave, feeling he had survived a threat.
