Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 556 - 535 True Prodigal (2/3)

Chapter 556: Chapter 535 True Prodigal (2/3)

No wonder everyone was so agitated, excited, or angry, encountering this scene was bound to provoke a strong reaction.

The ruffians each had smiles on their faces, excitedly discussing which of the four naked women had the larger breasts, rounder buttocks, and longer legs, while the kinder souls could no longer bear to watch and turned their heads away.

The righteous ones started to loudly reprimand, "How can such humiliation of women be allowed under the broad light of day? Is there no limit?"

There was no emperor in Immortal City, but everyone knew that the higher up you went in the city, the stronger and more terrifying the forces there were. An expert from Juexian City could easily sweep through the four corners of the world!

In fact, after the establishment of Forty-Nine Immortal City, the Immortal Law had been enacted, setting many taboos that were sacred and inviolable!

Therefore, there were Star Sea bandits. Many people violated the Immortal Law and were forced to flee the Forty-Nine Immortal City. Otherwise, who would go to such a dark and spiritless place in the depths of the Star Sea?

But nothing is absolute, there are always privileged individuals who can evade the Immortal Law, or even rise above it!

Such acts of bullying women weren’t explicitly defined in the Immortal Law. If reported, it might be possible to execute that young man, but it was also possible that it would be casually smoothed over by the power behind him.

So-called misdeeds require three things to be established: a victim, evidence, and witnesses. If there’s no victim, then does the misdeed not exist? What if the witnesses or evidence disappeared, wouldn’t that be false accusation?

Therefore, this is still a world of power.

However, that dandy young man dared to act so recklessly in front of such a crowd, which indicated that his background was absolutely solid; otherwise, why would he dare to do so?

"Isn’t that Meng Qianjun from the Meng Family? Tsk, he’s usually so arrogant, I’ve never seen him so humble before!"

"Who is that man sitting down? Just looking at him makes one angry!"

"Quiet down, don’t let others hear you. Can you afford to offend that kind of big shot?"

"Pah!"

Before long, this strange troop also arrived nearby. Behind those two young men were five attendants of varying ages, some marching solemnly, while others fixed their gaze on the buttocks of the four naked women.

Being so close, Zhou Heng could naturally make out more details.

The youth known as Meng Qianjun possessed the Cultivation Level of the Moonlight Sovereign, but it was unclear to what extent. The dandy youth on the chair was only at the Realm of the Moonlight King, and his aura was quite chaotic, as if it had been forcibly elevated by some secret technique, giving Zhou Heng the impression that it was as flimsy as paper, ready to be shattered with a mere poke of the finger.

And those four "mounts" were indeed Moonlight Sovereigns!

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be astounded. In the entire Forty-Nine Immortal City, Moonlight Sovereigns might not be considered top experts, but being able to become an Immortal was enough to get by, let alone here in the Twelve Immortal Cities. While Moonlight Sovereigns couldn’t dominate, they would be a sought-after asset for any family, especially since they could establish their own base.

How did they end up being degraded to human mounts? And to make matters worse, they were stripped bare, publicly humiliated in front of thousands?

This could only mean that the dandy youth’s background was profound, so much so that even the four Moonlight Sovereigns endured such humiliation without daring to rebel, and had to submit instead.

As for the five attendants in the back, they were all just Moonlight Kings. Zhou Heng gave them a glance and then withdrew his attention.

Over the past few days, Zhou Heng had also gained a general understanding of the situation here. The market belonged to the Meng Family, which was Meng Qianjun’s family.

The Old Ancestor of the Meng Family was said to have the Cultivation Level of the Moonlight Emperor and was a dominant figure in North Hai City—an individual who could have gone to the Tenth Immortal City but chose to stay here. Wasn’t it the case of being a king amongst monkeys when there are no tigers on the mountain?

And the flamboyance of that dandy youth far exceeded Meng Qianjun’s, which could be seen from Meng Qianjun’s ingratiating attitude.

It was, of course, impossible to be ingratiating toward someone from a family of the same level as a Moonlight Emperor.

That dandy youth must certainly belong to the power of the Sunshine King, or even the Sunshine Sovereign, which could also explain why the four Moonlight Sovereigns were forced to serve as mounts without daring to resist.

Zhou Heng instantly felt a desire to kill, but first, it wasn’t his concern, and there were too many injustices in the world for him to address. Second, his current Cultivation Level was still too weak; he had the will to slay the villain but was powerless to do so.

Besides, he himself was now a fugitive. What if he drew the attention of the Mo Family by intervening in this matter?

He suppressed his killing intent, but if given the chance, he would not hesitate to annihilate that scoundrel.

The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was holding an auction tomorrow night. Could the appearance of that dandy youth be related to it?

Zhou Heng returned to the inn with his doubts and recounted what he had seen to Yang Lanxin. However, the seductive woman showed not a trace of anger, as if she had grown accustomed to it.

"Don’t you think that person deserves to be killed?"

"Yes!" Yang Lanxin nodded her head.

"Then your expression is far too calm!"

"If you’ve seen such things often enough, even the greatest anger will turn into helplessness," Yang Lanxin sighed. It wasn’t because she had immense sympathy, but because, as a woman, what she detested the most was the act of bullying females.

"...There are others like him?" Zhou Heng was shocked.

"Countless!" Yang Lanxin sighed helplessly.

This Immortal Realm... so corrupt and degenerate! How could it still be worthy of the name ’Immortal Realm’? It’s nothing short of a mortal hell!

Zhou Heng suddenly thought of his Old Ancestor, the Great Eternal Emperor, who had fought his way to Juexian City. It must have been his Old Ancestor’s rage soaring to the heavens, wanting to topple the authoritative power of Juexian City and purge the Immortal Realm, right?

Just like when the Great Eternal Emperor unified the Xuanqian Star, established his own laws, and anyone who disobeyed was suppressed or killed. Who would dare to commit evil acts?

Unfortunately, whether it was because his Old Ancestor’s strength wasn’t formidable enough, or he was outnumbered, in any case, he was unable to overturn Juexian City, and now his life or death is unknown!

Zhou Heng clenched his fist. Regardless of whether the Great Eternal Emperor was dead or not, he would definitely follow in his footsteps, ascend to Juexian City, and blow those bastards to bits!

His fighting spirit was resolute, and his fearless aura flowed out naturally, mesmerizing Yang Lanxin, who couldn’t help feeling an impulse to throw herself into his arms and let him tenderly cherish her.

A day passed, and Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin made preparations before leaving the inn for Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

They had been staying here for quite a long time, and after this auction, they would be leaving.

Zhou Heng disguised himself as he had on previous visits to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, while Yang Lanxin used a gauze veil to cover her face and changed into loose-fitting clothes that concealed her devilish figure.

The two arrived at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and after Zhou Heng presented the invitation card, he was respectfully ushered into a private room.

The structure here was similar to that of auction houses in the Mortal Realm, with three walls and a half wall at the front covered by curtains which could be drawn to view the auction below.

Formations were set up to isolate sound and divine sense, and while the auction hadn’t yet started, Zhou Heng clasped Yang Lanxin in his lap.

"Pervert!" Yang Lanxin murmured softly, she initially struggled, but now had gotten used to it, almost resignedly, as she was quite comfortable being held this way.

Bang!

Just then, a loud noise came from the door; it was kicked open by someone.

Yang Lanxin let out a startled cry and quickly buried her face into Zhou Heng’s chest.

Zhou Heng frowned and turned around.

There were three people at the door, all of whom he had seen before.

Meng Qianjun, that profligate youth, and a naked woman he had ridden on.

This time the profligate youth wasn’t as arrogant as before, not letting four naked women carry his "throne," but a grown man riding on a naked woman’s back, swaggering through the streets like a horse, was something that even the thought of which was reprehensible.

"Sorry, got the wrong room!" Meng Qianjun gave Zhou Heng a slight smile, his words polite but his tone filled with utter arrogance.

It was true, a Moonlight Sovereign apologizing to a Moonlight King was already an anomaly, what more could one want?

This is the power-driven Immortal Realm!

The profligate youth, however, was just staring at Yang Lanxin and said, "Take off the veil, let me see what you look like!" As soon as he spoke, the unmistakable arrogance of a wastrel surged forth.

Zhou Heng’s face was cold as he said indifferently, "Get out!"

"Oh ho, lad, you dare to tell me to ’get out’? Let me tell you, the person who can make me ’get out’ hasn’t been born yet!" The wastrel youth took out a folding fan, snapped it open with a flourish, fanned himself briefly, then closed it abruptly, pointing to himself, "Do you know who I am? My family name is Fan, and I am Young Master Qi, Fan Tong, of the Fan Family!"

"I don’t care if you’re Fan Tong or a ’rice bucket,’ get lost!" Zhou Heng was already full of killing intent towards this profligate youth, and now it was unstoppable.

"You, you dare to curse me?" Fan Tong’s eyes turned red as if he had been greatly wronged, "No one dares to curse me, you’re courting death! Maiden Yao, kill him for me!"

"Yes, Young Master!" His "steed" got up, her black hair parted to reveal a very beautiful face with snow-white skin, a slender waist, and large breasts, an extremely outstanding beauty.

There is no shortage of beauties in the world; with a large enough population, even among hundreds or thousands, there would be a significant number of beautiful women. Beauties able to cultivate to the level of Immortals... those are much fewer, especially ones like a Moonlight Sovereign!

With her beauty and cultivation level, she could be said to be one in a billion.

"Stop!" A shout halted everything, and a person walked in from outside, a very ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He coldly scanned over Zhou Heng, Meng Qianjun, and Fan Tong and said, "Combat is forbidden inside Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, violators will be executed without mercy!"

At these words, even the audacious Fan Tong shrank back, and after glaring fiercely at Zhou Heng, he left with the words, "Just you wait!" before striding off.

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was, indeed, very powerful.
