Chapter 1019: Chapter 63: Confiscation Face-to-Face, Blind Pick in the Treasure Vault, Two Divine Artifacts!
"It’s the fourth day of entering the Dragon Court, and there must not be many who randomly arrived at the Gu Ting Royal City."
"The sooner it opens, the more good things there will be."
"If you wait for more people to come, they’ll open it themselves."
Dragon King Yin Xiu is right there, he can exchange treasures anytime, Zhao Xing is not in a hurry.
He estimates that he’s just now gotten enough for one exchange opportunity.
Take advantage, take as much advantage as possible.
"Let’s go!"
Sensing a touch from a Ten Thousand Skill Avatar, Zhao Xing immediately sets off with the Dragon Craftsman.
...
The Royal City is very large, as the Dragon Clan’s Royal City, the Royal Palace area alone is as big as a mansion.
If you count the administrative range of the Royal City, it’s about half the size of a state.
Though the place is large, there aren’t many places suitable for building vaults.
Because stability must be considered.
If it was built last time, and the next time even their own people can’t find it, there’s no point in building it.
"Discovered four places where Great Zhou’s vaults are located. The levels are quite high, among them there’s one which is a safe house of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"Forget it, let’s not touch Great Zhou’s vaults."
Different authorities come with different responsibilities, and the First Grade vault level of Great Zhou isn’t something he can just break into.
Besides, if someone of the current dynasty’s First Grade comes to Gu Ting Royal City to execute certain plans, and finds out the vaults are gone, it’ll mess up their plans.
"Hmm? This place?"
When Zhao Xing’s avatar arrives at the coordinates of a High-Level Treasure Vault remembered from before, he finds splendid pillar-like palaces have appeared, surrounded by many dragon patrols.
Dragons come and go, on both sides of Dragon Stone Street, many dragon clan members stand before small mountains, roaring towards the sky.
"Roar~"
"Roar! Roar!"
"Sira!"
Some dragon clan members are busy in front of a pile of treasure mountains, swallowing clouds and exhaling mist, some of their tails intertwining.
Moments later, a dragon spews out a pile of Dragon Crystals, then rolls up a heap of things from the treasure mountain and leaves...
If someone unfamiliar with the Gu Ting Dragon Clan or not fluent in Dragon Language arrives, they won’t know what they’re doing.
But Zhao Xing listens, looks, and understands immediately.
"Arrived at the Dragon Clan’s marketplace."
"During the Jing Emperor Period, was this a place for setting up stalls and trading?"
Zhao Xing curiously surveys the surroundings.
A member of the Upper Dragon Clan is leading a Dragon Turtle, carrying goods, moving slowly.
When Zhao Xing passes by, some dragon clan members roar at him, not meaning anything else, just the dragon clan’s hawking calls.
The approximate meaning is equivalent to:
"Take a look, have a look!"
"Our shop is having a discount sale today!"
"How about understanding the Secret Technique of transforming for diving?"
...
The further east he goes, the more precious become the items being traded.
Treasure mountains grow taller and taller.
In front of a mountain gate constructed of Dragon Crystals, Zhao Xing’s avatar can’t go any further.
"Ahead is the ’Sanding’ Lord’s trading venue."
When Zhao Xing’s avatar approaches, a group of Dragon Clan Guards blocks him.
Even though he speaks in the Upper Dragon Language, communication is futile, still unable to enter.
"Sanding is the third lord of the kingdom, with high status and power... forget it, wait for the real body."
Zhao Xing’s avatar doesn’t continue negotiating, retreats to wait from afar.
Meanwhile.
Master Ziluo arrives at the Dragon Clan trading ground, accompanied by disciples You Sha, Yun Ji, and grand-disciples You Jue and Shadow Princess.
"Don’t act rashly." Master Ziluo advises, "This is the Dragon Clan’s trading area, they aren’t initiating an attack."
"Yes." The disciples and grand-disciples become very obedient, as Master Ziluo currently has a bad temper, always frowning.
Master Ziluo frowns, glancing around, feeling an ominous premonition.
He feels that damned thief is nearby.
Zhao Xing indeed is nearby, heading for the Corpse Puppet Sect’s vault.
The other vaults can wait, but the Corpse Puppet Sect’s members have already arrived, so it must be opened quickly.
"This is one of the Corpse Puppet Sect’s only two High-Level vaults." Zhao Xing also looks around, "If the Corpse Puppet Sect’s people have already arrived and find the massive stone vault pried open, they’ll hurry over."
Suddenly—
He flies to a mountaintop, seeing Master Ziluo on another summit.
Sensing the cause and effect in the Heavenly Fortune Realm of Mingming, Master Ziluo suddenly feels the sensation, quickly turning back.
"Swoosh~"
Eye contact is made, Master Ziluo instantly understands: "It’s that thief!"
Zhao Xing also realizes the other’s identity: "Here to steal my things."
Swoosh swoosh~
Master Ziluo immediately flies over, unaware of Zhao Xing’s identity, can’t tell whose side he’s on: "This Daoist friend..."
Zhao Xing turns away, heads to a place with dragon clan guards to wait.
Master Ziluo initially intended to chase, but suddenly wakes up: "Oh no!"
"Master, what’s wrong?"
"This person suddenly appears here, likely knowing about this vault location." Master Ziluo is both shocked and angry, "We need to get inside quickly."
However, entering the Sanding Trading Zone isn’t easy.
Because Master Ziluo and his group don’t have startup capital or proper identity permissions.
"Not good, he’s coming."
Master Ziluo’s gaze suddenly turns towards the mountain gate of the Sanding Trading Zone.
Only to see Zhao Xing’s real body quickly arriving with a team of Fu Ming Craftsmen outside the Sanding Trading Zone.
"Can’t get in, can’t get in..."
Master Ziluo silently prays.
He perceives Zhao Xing’s strength isn’t high, being only the fourth day, he shouldn’t be able to enter the Sanding Trading Zone, as it requires Lord Level permissions.
Seemingly sensing Master Ziluo’s gaze, Zhao Xing’s mouth curls into a slight smile.
Indeed, under normal circumstances.
With the initial three boats of treasures, it shouldn’t be possible to exchange for Lord Level permissions.
