ALL NOVEL Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Arrival at Wu Tan City
(Translator note: apparently is not Wutan City, but Wu Tan City..)
Wu Tan City is located in a remote area, and it would take five days of travel from the Imperial Capital, even by flying on a flying Long-Winged Sparrow.
Of course, Chenfeng would not waste these five days.
There was a simple wooden bed placed in his small room. Chenfeng sat cross-legged on it and took out a third-level monster core from his space ring. After holding it between his palms, he started to run the Heaven-Swallowing Technique to absorb the monster core chaotic energy.
Because of his status as an inner sect disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, the senior management of the Imperial Capital Flying Transportation Company directly arranged a private room for him.
Therefore, Chenfeng wasn't afraid of anyone disturbing him while practicing.
With the operation of the Heaven-Swallowing Technique, a devouring force quickly surged out from both of Chenfeng's palms, wrapping the monster core in his hands.
After a moment, strands of pure energy were extracted from the monster core, penetrated into Chenfeng's body along the palm of his hand, and wandered among the limbs and bones.
Time flies, and five days passed by.
"We arrived at Black Rock City!"
A loud shout sounded from the plywood outside.
Hearing the sound, Chenfeng slowly opened his eyes, feeling the Dou Qi surge in his body, and a smile appeared on his lips.
After five days of training, with the powerful effect of the Heaven-Swallowing Technique, he had successfully broken through to the 6-Star Dou Master realm.
And he's not far from the 7-Star Dou Master.
Putting away the monster core in his hand, Chenfeng ended his training.
He stood at the window in the room and looked down, and saw the outline of a city gradually appearing in his field of vision.
Wu Tan City is too remote. It can only be regarded as an inconspicuous small city in the entire Jia Ma Empire. There is no Flying Transportation Company in the city at all.
Therefore, Chenfeng could only reach the nearest big city to Wu Tan City, Black Rock City.
Black Rock City is one of the largest cities in the northwest of the empire.
Standing on top of the flying magical beast, Chenfeng looked at the huge city reflecting the orange luster under the afterglow of the setting sun, and breathed a sigh of relief.
As the flying magical beast approached, Chenfeng discovered that the city's huge walls were actually made entirely of neat black crystal stones.
It is said that the city wall here has withstood the combined force of two strong Dou King realm warriors and has not been shaken in the least. This shows how strong the defense of this city wall is.
A moment later, the flying magical beast stopped at the flying transport center in the center of Black Rock City, and Chenfeng slowly stepped off the Long-Winged Sparrow back.
'It's getting late, so let's rest here in Black Rock City for the night.'
The lack of clean water on the flying magical beast had left Chenfeng unable to shower for five days. As a result, a faint but noticeable unpleasant odor began to linger around him, making him slightly self-conscious.
For Chenfeng, who always loves cleanliness, this is naturally unbearable.
Moreover, this trip to the Xiao family to break off Nalan Yanran's engagement was a matter of great importance. As the eldest disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, Chenfeng carried a prestigious status. How could he allow himself to appear in such an unkempt and awkward state? It was utterly degrading and unworthy of his position.
After some inquiring, Chenfeng went directly to the largest hotel in Black Rock City to stay.
At night, Chenfeng took a nice hot bath and fell asleep directly after declining the hotel's special service.
The next morning, Chenfeng was dressed in brocade clothes and a jade belt wrapped around his waist. He slowly walked out of the hotel under the nymphomaniacal gaze of all the serving maids.
The naturally handsome Chenfeng looked even more noble after putting on this rich brocade attire. When he walked on the street, he also attracted the attention of a large number of married women.
He had sharp, phoenix-like eyes that sparkled with intelligence, framed by thick, dark eyebrows that seemed to hold an unyielding determination. His high nose bridge and perfectly sculpted jawline exuded an air of elegance, while his skin, fair and smooth, seemed to glow faintly under the light. His tall, well-proportioned figure was like a finely carved statue, exuding both strength and grace. His presence was commanding yet refined, like a noble prince descended from the heavens—a rare, breathtakingly handsome man who drew admiration wherever he went.
Seeing the love-struck gazes of the women on the street who shamelessly revealed more skin to him, Chenfeng shook his head in exasperation. 'A group of vulgar women,' he thought disdainfully, 'Fighting to gain my attention this way would only make me look down on you...'
Afterwards, Chenfeng went to the horse carriage dealership and rented a carriage, quickly heading towards Wu Tan City.
Although Black Rock City is the nearest big city to Wu Tan City, despite this, it took Chenfeng more than half a day to reach Wu Tan City riding a carriage.
As the outline of Wu Tan City gradually came into view in the distance, Chenfeng let out a quiet sigh of relief. Finally, the long journey was nearing its end, and he was about to arrive at his destination.
"Let's go to Miteer Auction House first."
After entering the city, Chenfeng began to inquire about the location of Miteer Auction House.
It was already afternoon, and it was obviously inappropriate to go to the Xiao's family house at this hour. He could only find a place to stay at the Miteer Auction House for the day.
After finding out the location of Miteer Auction House, Chenfeng followed the direction to find it.
...
Miteer Auction House, the largest auction house in Wu Tan City, is also affiliated with the richest family in the Jia Ma Empire: the Miteer family.
In the Jia Ma Empire, in terms of wealth, the Miteer family is probably second to none.
The Miteer family has a long history and has been developing in the Jia Ma Empire for hundreds of years. According to some gossip, this extremely wealthy family seems to have some relationship with the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire. .
In the Jia Ma Empire, the Miteer family, the Nalan family, and the Mu family are renowned as the three giants. These powerful families hold sway over various key sectors of the Empire, including business, military, agriculture, and more. Their influence runs deep, shaping the economic, political, and social landscapes of the Empire.
Chenfeng is a direct descendant of the Miteer family, and has the second elder of the Miteer family as his backer. In addition, he has been regard as a cultivation genius since childhood, and later became the direct disciple of the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect.
With such a prestigious identity and powerful background combined, Chenfeng's status was undeniably exalted, even within the vast Jia Ma Empire. He embodied the perfect template of wealth, handsomeness, and influence—a figure admired and envied by many.
The power of the Miteer family is deeply entangled, with branches in most cities throughout the empire.
Even a remote place like Wu Tan City has not been left behind, which shows that the Miteer family has a wide range of interests.
As for Chenfeng's distinguished status, coming to the Wutan City branch is tantamount to a chief executive suddenly visiting the branch for inspection.
If a notification had been sent in advance, Chenfeng was certain that the entire Miteer branch in Wu Tan City would have mobilized to welcome him at the city gate with great fanfare.
But that didn't happen.
Chenfeng came to Wutan City this time just to break off Nalan Yanran engagement in a low-key manner, so naturally he would not make a big deal about it.
'I'm finally here.'
After a moment, Chenfeng looked at the huge venue on the street with a smile on his face.
'Sister Ya Fei, I haven't seen you for three years. How are you doing?"
Her enchanting figure flashed through his mind, and Chenfeng felt a little hot.
Thinking of what Ya Fei said to him before leaving three years ago, Chenfeng unconsciously showed a smile on his face.
If she had known that she had come to Wutan City, Ya Fei would have been extremely happy at this moment, and she would probably have been waiting at the door to welcome hm.
Afterwards, Chenfeng adjusted his clothes slightly and walked towards the Miteer auction house.
Chenfeng's brocade robes and luxurious attire immediately marked him as a man of high status and wealth. The guards at the door, sharp-eyed and experienced, quickly recognized his distinguished bearing. Without a word, they stepped aside and allowed him to pass, not daring to ask any questions.
