Chapter 480: Chapter 348: First News of Qianqiu’s Commerce (6K)

In Flamefire Oasis, a gentle breeze blew, and the suffocating oppression from before had dissipated under a great power, leaving only a small crimson orb and an invincible figure playing with it, appearing like an empress descending upon the mortal world.

The fleeing powerhouses stopped in their tracks, turned around, and looked up at the sky, puzzled and stunned.

"What just happened?"

"The firmament cannons all fired at once, but those beams filled with destructive energy... they were all gathered up and condensed into a small orb? How is that possible!"

If it had been before the firmament cannons fired, shattering this one-time-use artifact with a powerful force would have been difficult, but still acceptable to them.

However, there were clearly hundreds of beams firing simultaneously, the whole sky was tinged red with their glow, and the threat of death loomed overhead... And yet, halfway through the onslaught, they were reversed and condensed? What kind of mighty power was this!

It was far beyond their imagination.

"Could it be, this is a mythic existence?"

"Indeed, it must be a great mythic figure. Not every mythic existence can so easily nullify a storm of destruction."

"The Blazefire Commerce Guild has a mythic existence backing it? And she seems to be in very good condition."

By now, the wine-red figure of the Red-haired Empress that stood in the sky had vanished. Under the empress’s oppressive aura, the once ferocious pillagers now felt a chilling fear and dared not attack the mall any longer, scattering in all directions.

When they were fierce and mad, they were still crushed by the patrol teams; now, having lost their ferocity, they were even less coordinated, and within a few minutes, many had either died or surrendered.

This posed a dilemma for Roland.

"What should we do with them?"

"The... the Chairman said, for now, let’s imprison these people. Our Oasis might need to build a sky prison."

The chaos was quickly quelled.

The mall’s losses were limited to the initial explosion and a few shattered windows. With a quick clean-up, everything was back to normal. Yet the merchants and mercenaries who had witnessed everything still couldn’t forget what they had seen, discussing it with great enthusiasm.

"It looks like our guess was right. The Blazefire Commerce Guild likely relocated here, and with a mythic existence at its heart, the development of this mall was only a matter of time."

"With a mythic existence overseeing Flamefire Oasis, doesn’t this mean that it’s even safer than the Starlight Fortress?"

"I have to admit, truly."

"Over a hundred years ago, the Starlight Fortress suffered a major Wave Disaster; half of the fortress was destroyed, and countless shops suffered heavy losses. But with a mythic existence in place, such incidents would be impossible."

The two Falling Star powerhouses who were secretly listening to the merchants’ conversations fell into deep silence.

The discussions among the merchants and mercenaries then shifted from the environment of the Oasis to the mythic figure with the wine-red hair.

"I’m not seeing a mythic existence for the first time, but I feel this Empress is stronger; she has an aura of being unbeatable in this world."

"Moreover, this mythic Empress looks very young. Judging by her appearance, she can’t be more than two or three hundred years old, which means she can oversee the Oasis for another six or seven hundred years!"

"The Empress is so amazing; I’m already her little fan."

"I wonder if there will be a chance to see this Empress again."

"Just a bystander, but earlier I thought I saw... some grains of rice at the corner of this Empress’s mouth?"

"Blasphemy against a mythic being, are you seeking death?!"

...

Yiluo Xi, with one hand protecting the unbeatable wine-red-haired Empress of Flamefire Oasis, Roland, wiped the rice grains from the corner of her mouth.

"Nah nah nah, wasn’t I amazing? I knew I was exceptionally awesome!"

Yiluo Xi was in great spirits, as refreshing as if she had drunk tons of chilled soda.

Especially since she mooched several meals from Youyou, it was double the pleasure.

She was indeed worthy of being the Chairwoman.

I’m really so smart, so amazing.

Yiluo Xi was moved by her own genius.

An Jianyou could only conform with resignation, "Right, right, right, Roland is amazing. With what happened today, many of those lurking in the shadows should quiet down."

The realization struck the Chairman of the great commerce guild.

"I was wondering why the mall had no ritual array barriers set up, turns out it was fishing for a slap on the wrist to warn the others!"

"So that’s it, what a move by the Blazefire Commerce Guild—brilliant!"

Blazing Fire Mall gradually bustled with activity.

It had a geographical advantage, being the second commercial city in the Great Domain of the Falling Star Pit—although not quite at city level yet, in the eyes of many merchants, Blazing Fire Mall already qualified for that status; at least, it had the potential for the future.

Moreover, it was very far from the Starlight Fortress.

The Starlight Fortress was located in the central-eastern part, while Blazing Fire Mall was at the extreme western edge, providing many distant oases with more options.

Thanks to the promotion of the Strange Implement, more and more people from other regions arrived here, an advantage that even the Starlight Fortress didn’t have!

The Starlight Fortress didn’t have the clout to bring distant commerce guilds to its doorstep.

"The Water of Origin, a treasure that can enhance potential?"

"Pure Heart Tea Leaves, a drink that can slowly reduce one’s erosion pollution. This... this is a treasure everyone dreams of!"

"The Ancient Moon Dynasty has a Pure Heart Tea Tree, but its leaves rarely circulate outside. I was fortunate enough to taste it once, and even without considering its effects, its flavor is exquisite. I never thought Blazing Fire Mall would sell it, although it’s a pity they sell so little; it took me three attempts just to snatch up a small jar."

"To have gotten any at all is lucky! The scarcity of such miraculous tea leaves is understandable, but it’s still frustrating when you can’t get them!"

"Rumor has it Blazing Fire Mall has some kind of treasure that can increase the odds of becoming a mythic figure? Why haven’t I seen it?"
