Chapter 573: Chapter 574: Treasure Pavilion

The huge island stood shrouded in dense fog atop the sea, draped in a layer of pale golden afterglow under the setting sun, revealing beauty laced with mystery.

"It’s Western Emperor Island!"

"We’re almost at West Emperor City!"

"This is the most famous island of the Western Sea, not only does it host a million martial artists, but it also possesses three major royal families, truly a sacred land for martial artists!"

Many people on the smuggling boat looked longingly at West Emperor City, which was almost a holy place for martial artists!

Yun Zimo explained beside him, "Mr. Ye, once you arrive in West Emperor City, you must adhere to the three main rules of the city!"

"Oh, what three rules?" Ye Wudao asked.

"First, never provoke the Xidi forces stationed in West Emperor City. They are all under the command of the city lord, Lord Xidi."

"Second, West Emperor City strictly prohibits fighting, and you must not engage in killing! If discovered, the light punishment would be expulsion from West Emperor City, and the severe could result in being killed on the spot by the Xidi forces!"

Ye Wudao nodded and asked, "And the third point?"

"As for the third point, be wary of the Jiang, Ximen, and Zhao royal families! They are the powers of West Emperor City, exempt from the laws of the city!"

Hearing Yun Zimo’s words, Ye Wudao chuckled coldly, "I initially thought the public order was good in West Emperor City, but it turns out it still depends on who has the strongest fist."

Jiu Sha laughed beside him, "That has been an unchanging truth through the ages!"

"By the way, Mr. Ye, let me warn you, never provoke the Jiang royal family," Yun Zimo said.

"Oh?"

"The Jiang royal family is the foremost among the three great royal families of West Emperor City. In recent years, their power has surged to be on par with that of the city lord of West Emperor City. Many people even say that West Emperor City’s future will be under the Jiang royal family!" Yun Zimo explained.

"Heh, I won’t provoke them," Ye Wudao said with a laugh.

"That’s good!" Yun Zimo sighed in relief.

What would Yun Zimo think if he knew that Ye Wudao’s visit to West Emperor City was intended to wipe out the Jiang royal family?

As they drew nearer, they soon arrived at Western Emperor Island.

"Oh, what is that gold ring surrounding the island?" Ye Wudao pointed to the golden rings around the island, asking curiously.

"That is the defensive array, set up by four Array Masters from Dragon Country at great expense by Lord Xidi! Once activated, it is said to withstand attacks from Emperor Level martial artists; only a presence of a combat emperor level martial artist would be detected," Yun Zimo explained.

No sooner had she spoken than the inconspicuous smuggling boat slowly entered the circle of light.

A simple port.

The smugglers on the boat parted ways, and they bowed with clasped fists; "Thank you, Lord Shaobei!"

"Thank you, Lord Shaobei!"

"Uncle, we’re leaving!" the white-haired little boy looked at Ye Wudao, then suddenly turned around and said," "I will definitely become a man like you in the future!"

Ye Wudao smiled faintly.

Yun Zimo frowned and said, "Mr. Ye, you are on the Jiang royal family’s hit list. Aren’t you afraid of being recognized by the Jiang royal family by showing up in West Emperor City so openly?"

Ye Wudao answered nonchalantly, "Guess why I’m here?"

Yun Zimo turned pale and said no more.

"Wudao, there’s still some time before the auction this evening. Why don’t we stroll around West Emperor City? I’ve heard it’s home to many exotic treasures you can’t find inland!" Jiusha said with a smile.

"Alright," Ye Wudao nodded. Since they were already there, they might as well take a look around.

"I know a shopping area. I’ll take you both to Taobao Street in the inner city. There are many shops there that have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps we’ll find some valuable treasures," Yun Zimo suggested.

"Hehe, then please lead the way, Miss Yun," Ye Wudao nodded.

Soon, the group arrived at West Emperor City.

"Hey, do you know the rules? Don’t you know you have to pay a city entry fee to enter West Emperor City?"

"Ten spirit stones per person, not one less!" several guards said fiercely.

At that moment, Yun Zimo stepped forward and took out a token from her waist.

"So it’s someone from the Yun Family business. Please, come inside!" The guards, recognizing her identity, immediately gestured for them to enter.

"Hehe, it seems Miss Yun’s identity is quite useful," Ye Wudao said jokingly.

Yun Zimo put away the token and smiled, "Our Yun Family business is one of the four major businesses in West Emperor City. We often send ships to sea and pay the authorities well each year, so the gatekeepers won’t stop our people."

Ye Wudao and his two companions quickly arrived in West Emperor City.

West Emperor City was vast, comparable to a city with a million residents, and extraordinarily lively!

The liveliest place of all was Taobao Street!

This was a centuries-old street lined with at least hundreds of shops, including pharmacies, weapon shops, and various stores selling cultivation techniques and rare items. Each shop was bustling with people, among them many martial artists.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think? Taobao Street is bustling, isn’t it?" Yun Zimo asked with a smile.

"It’s bustling, alright, but there are few treasures," Ye Wudao glanced casually and saw nothing that caught his eye.

Yun Zimo, seemingly anticipating what Ye Wudao would say, covered her mouth and laughed, "Mr. Ye seems to have forgotten what the Yun family does."

Ye Wudao chuckled wryly and said, "Then please, Miss Yun, lead the way."

The Yun Family business, as one of the top four businesses in West Emperor City, was financially robust. They owned a prominent, large-scale shop on Taobao Street called the Treasure Pavilion, standing as high as five floors, with an ancient and distinguished appearance that stood out from the crowd.

The Treasure Pavilion was second to none in both grade and treasures in West Emperor City!

It was hugely popular!

In front of the Treasure Pavilion stood a line of Yun Family guards, all of emperor-level strength, showcasing the formidable power of the Yun Family business.

"Mr. Ye, we’ve arrived at our Yun family’s Treasure Pavilion!" Yun Zimo said with a smile.

"Miss!"

"The young lady has returned!" The Yun Family guards excitedly exclaimed.

Just then, a yellow-robed elder who looked like a housekeeper ran out from inside the Treasure Pavilion, his face flush with excitement as he said, "Miss, was your voyage successful this time?"

"Yes."

Yun Zimo nodded and turned to Ye Wudao, "Mr. Ye, I have some matters to take care of back home. I’ll be back shortly."

"Alright, Miss Yun, you go ahead and take care of your business."

Yun Zimo reminded, "Steward Huang, please take good care of these two distinguished guests. Whatever they fancy today, give it, don’t sell it!"
