Chapter 343 Rejected!
Just as Xiao Yu was helping the women transform.
In the endless desert.
Several figures, led by Baldy Eyes, rushed toward the Earth Dragon Turtle.
"Lord City Lord, I see Dragon City! It's right there!" Suddenly, Baldy pointed south and exclaimed.
"That's it? It's not that big! It's alright!"
When everyone first saw the Earth Dragon Turtle, they could only see a small black dot because it was too far away, so they assumed that the Earth Dragon Turtle was not particularly big and were quite relieved.
After all... they were all startled by the information sent back by the bald-eyed person.
However, when they were a few kilometers away, the people felt that the earth dragon turtle was like a huge mountain.
"Holy crap! This is way bigger than you guys said!"
At that moment, everyone stared wide-eyed and gasped.
Fortunately, they left the city on their own initiative.
If this monster were to enter the City of Ruins, all the cities would be razed to the ground.
"Is this the mount of the Dragon City Lord? It's absolutely astonishing! Is Dragon City... on that?" Sotun stared at the rapidly approaching behemoth, his eyelids twitching, and his face darkened.
This is fucking ridiculous.
Previously, he didn't quite believe how strong the Lord of Dragon City was.
I think both "eye baldness" and "Batu" are somewhat exaggerated.
After all... a ninth-tier expert is a well-known figure even on the entire continent.
However, he had never heard of this Lord of Dragon City.
Sotun believed that the Dragon City Lord was at most only at the half-step ninth rank.
As for the claim that... the Lord of Dragon City is a powerhouse comparable to the Lord of Snow Night City, that's utter nonsense.
However, it was the overwhelming strength he displayed that caused the two to misjudge the situation.
But now, Sotun has a new opinion about this Lord of Dragon City.
Sotun felt that he might not be a match for this giant monster.
As for the City Lord of Dragon City, who can command such a behemoth, he must be even stronger!
This Dragon City is not to be trifled with!
At least, I can't afford to provoke them before I break through to the ninth rank!
"How do we get to Dragon City? Do we just fly up there?" With the Earth Dragon Turtle less than two kilometers away, and knowing that they would crash into it if they didn't climb up to Dragon City, Sotun asked.
As he spoke, he tried to take flight.
How could he not be worried when his younger brother was trapped up there?
"Lord City Lord, there's no need for such trouble." Bald-eyed man quickly raised his hand to stop him, explaining, "Dragon City has special elevators; going up and down is very convenient. You see..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the earth dragon turtle.
Suddenly, the earth dragon turtle stopped in its tracks.
Then, a huge stone house descended rapidly.
"Big brother!" As a voice rang out, Batu flashed to the front.
These past few days, Batu has been at Jiebing Pavilion, observing the terrain and guiding the way.
He was on the turtle's back when he suddenly saw his older brother, Sotun, so he quickly got off.
"Batu, I'm so glad you're alright!" Upon seeing Batu, Sotun was overjoyed and quickly went over to check Batu's entire body. Only after confirming that he was not injured or anything did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hehe! I'm fine, brother. I'm doing just fine in Longcheng," Batu chuckled.
Before his older brother arrived, Batu had been quite anxious in Longcheng these past few days.
After all... Xiao Yu said that they weren't friends until a deal was struck for five million.
Since they are not friends, they could be enemies at any time.
It's possible that Xiao Yu might actually kill him.
But now... with my older brother here, I finally feel at ease.
"Brother, Dragon City is too powerful! We must win them over!"
Upon seeing his elder brother, Sotun, Batu didn't mince words and immediately said in a serious tone, "If we let the Dragon City Lord side with the Xue family, we brothers are finished. However, the Dragon City Lord said that as long as we buy goods worth five million energy stones from him, he will help us!"
“A shipment of five million energy stones?” Sotun’s eyelids twitched.
He thinks...
The so-called transaction of five million worth of goods was just Longcheng asking him for benefits; it was essentially giving them away for free.
If they offered five million, Longcheng would stand idly by and not help the Xue family.
As for the so-called goods, there may not be anything of value at all.
If they don't pay... Longcheng will side with the Xue family and help them deal with the Dongcheng Sotun lineage.
But anything is negotiable.
Batu could negotiate down to five million; if he stepped in, he might be able to negotiate down to two million.
After all... he had just managed to gather five million energy stones.
But... that's for buying ninth-tier enhancement potions.
How could he spend so much money just because of a single sentence from the Lord of Dragon City?
Don't even think about it!
"I'll go up and take a look first." Sotun looked up at the Earth Dragon Turtle, his brows furrowing slightly.
No rejection, no yes.
With that, Sotun walked straight toward the rising stone house.
Bald Eyes and several of Sotun's confidants immediately followed.
The rising stone house is activated, quickly ascending to Dragon City.
The Earth Dragon Turtle slowly rose and set off again toward the City of Ruins.
Soon, the group walked out of the rising stone house, but were stopped at the weapon dismantling pavilion and asked to hand over their weapons.
Sotun didn't speak, but one of his trusted men said with a grim face, "Our city lord Sotun is a half-step ninth-level expert, equal in status to your city lord! You should feel honored to come to Dragon City, so why should we hand over our weapons?"
Although Dragon City is very strong, it would be too humiliating to ask the city lord to hand over his weapon.
Once you hand over your weapon, even if the other party has no malicious intent, it's as if you've lost face.
However... the soldiers guarding the city didn't listen at all, and said in a cold tone, "Anyone who wants to enter Dragon City must abide by this rule!"
"You!" Upon hearing this, Sotun's full beard trembled with rage.
The power of the half-step ninth rank erupted, making the soldiers guarding the city somewhat unsteady on their feet.
But the soldiers remained unyielding, refusing to let them in unless they surrendered their weapons.
This scene caused Sotun and the others to frown.
The warriors of Dragon City remained neither humble nor arrogant in the face of a half-step ninth-rank expert.
How exactly are these warriors with iron wills trained?
Just then, the black-armored figure sitting cross-legged on the city wall not far away slowly rose up.
Instantly, the imposing aura that Sotun had placed on his soldiers vanished without a trace.
"Eighth rank? How is that possible? Is an eighth rank really just a gatekeeper?" The confidants accompanying him felt the aura emanating from the Black Soil City Lord and their expressions changed drastically.
Previously, Batu had said that the gatekeepers of Dragon City were all at the eighth level, but the others did not believe him.
In the East City, let alone an eighth-rank, even a seventh-rank wouldn't be allowed to guard the gate.
However, in Dragon City, an eighth-tier peak expert was merely a gatekeeper.
"Brother, you should still pay it!" Batu said with a wry smile.
He never expected that the City Lord of Dragon City would show such disrespect to his elder brother.
In the end, Sotun obediently handed over his weapon and put a bracelet on his right hand.
There's no other way... he needs someone's help right now.
"Hmph, I'd like to see what's so special about this Dragon City."
