Dominating Martial King-Chapter 1513 - 522: The Real Aftermath of the Battle

Chapter 1513: Chapter 522: The Real Aftermath of the Battle

"Finally, it has arrived."

"Hurry up! Stop dawdling. We’ve been crowded here for so long, it’s not easy for us!"

Rigaluo looked up and found that the Tianji Pavilion’s bookstore had opened.

After Chu Yunyun seized the Northeast Four States, she comprehensively sealed all the bookshops and institutions of the Debating Martial Arts Tower two months ago, but allowed the Tianji Pavilion to open bookstores in the Northeast Four States.

Rigaluo raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing a look of anticipation.

He came to this tavern partly to meet friends and partly because he received news that the Tianji Pavilion would release a special edition today for the recent Black Gold Mountain battle.

Actually, this special edition had been on sale in the Capital City several days ago.

But the Tianji Pavilion doesn’t have the same conditions as the Debating Martial Arts Tower, so they couldn’t release in the Northern Territory and the Capital City simultaneously.

Rigaluo already knew the general content of this edition, but he still wanted to buy a copy for his collection.

When he looked into the distance, he saw a throng of people crowded outside the bookstore, densely packed heads surging towards the door.

"Hey!"

Rigaluo promptly used the Sky Covering Technique, cloaking everyone’s senses, and maneuvered the cloud qi to pull a book out from the store.

He paused for a moment, then took out twenty taels of Demon Silver, placing it in the silver box at the bookstore.

Recalling the past, when the mighty ’Great Black Sky’ bought something, when had he ever used money?

But now that he was a government official, he naturally had to abide by the rules.

As Rigaluo flipped through this special edition in his hands, voices of discussion from outside began to reach him.

"Ha, indeed! Our General ranks first on the Heavenly List!"

"This time, the Second-in-command Warlord of Buzhou Mountain, Huang Heixuan, and the fourth-ranking Warlord Huang Tianmu both perished at the hands of our General. Ranking first on the Heavenly List, truly worthy of the title."

"Unbelievable! Could our General’s strength be greater than Ween Zhiyi and Dugu Shou?"

"Why not? Before our General’s revival, he once injured Gods, his battle prowess almost chasing Blood Revenge."

"Ween Zhiyi’s combat strength is also Near-God level, but that’s during her peak period. This woman is limited by the Divine Yin Cold Power, her lifespan is running out, and she can no longer fully exert her battle power, which is why she dropped to second on the Heavenly List. As for our Lord, within six months, he will surely enter Near-God once again."

"Dugu Shou is formidable, but our General holds the Rebellious God Banner Spear; if the two were to fight to the death, the winner would surely be the General!"

Rigaluo couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly, feeling pride.

He then flipped back until he reached the seventh page of the Heavenly List.

The discussions outside the tavern buzzed loudly.

"Infinite Blade Lord has advanced to the seventy-second place on the Heavenly List!"

"That seems a bit too low? During the Black Gold Mountain battle, the Blade Lord slew tens of thousands of Yan State Giant Spirits and their Slave Tribe army from over ten thousand miles away. It was simply a miracle, more exaggerated than the Grey Wolf Plain battle."

"Indeed! The Divine Intent Touch Death Blade is truly invincible!"

"I think it’s pretty overrated; this ranking seems too high. The characteristic of the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade is that the more enemies there are, the stronger it becomes. The Blade Lord’s true combat strength should not be able to match those high on the Heavenly List."

"There’s truth in that. The Blade Lord’s cultivation seems to be only Fourth Grade. To be on the Heavenly List with a Fourth Grade cultivation is unprecedented."

"Fools, you simply don’t know the might of the Divine Mirror Sky Blade! The Divine Mirror Sky Blade can strike enemies from tens of thousands of miles away, and can use the Mirror Sky Technique to collect hostile intent from tens of thousands of miles for itself."

"Ha, the Blood Revenge Blade Lord used to have such capabilities, the Blade Lord might still fall short. You don’t know how exhausting it is!"

"However you put it, jointly, the General and the Blade Lord are invincible under the sky!"

"The alliance between Qin and Chu, the sun rises over West Mountain! With the General assisting the Blade Lord, they will undoubtedly sweep through Daning and reach Wang’an City, gaining dominance in the south."

The ’Six-Armed Divine Mantis Blade’ at Faxuan City listened to the crowd’s debates outside, showing a look of contemplation.

"It seems the Blade Lord’s prestige is quite high in the Northern Territory."

"That’s how it is in the Northern Territory States. Whoever can lead them to defeat the Giant Spirits will earn their admiration. I’ve heard that over in Iron State, Bing Province, and Liang State, many people are hoping that the Blade Lord and General will unify the Divine Continent or send troops to occupy these places, which greatly irritates the Guiyuan Sword Sect."

Rigaluo continued flipping through the special edition, speaking casually and indifferently, "If the Blade Lord’s prestige wasn’t high, how could I monopolize the Spiritual Medicines of the Four States in such a short half year? It’s not by relying on the Formless Divine Sect, nor by depending on the General’s authority.

The people of the Northern Territory are simple-hearted, whether medicine gatherers or merchants from various counties, all prefer to sell Spiritual Medicines to the Infinite Medicine Shop opened by the Blade Lord. Of course, it’s also because Mr. Ri conducts fair trade."

Faxuan City subtly scoffed upon hearing the words ’fair trade’.

Rigaluo naturally engages in fair trade.

After monopolizing the Spiritual Medicines of the Northern Territory, he resells them to the south at several times the price.

Rigaluo certainly is willing to set high prices, and the herbal merchants of the Northern Territory also earn much more.

This has already triggered dissatisfaction among many factions, but there’s no choice.

The Infinite Blade Lord fears nothing more than group battles, no matter how many come.

So even the mighty Five Great Divine Sects and Five Great Demon Sects can only endure with pinched noses, quietly doing business with Rigaluo.

Now, under the heavens, the top-tier forces wealthy in resources can still bear it.

Local landlords and powerful gangs on the black market are gradually unable to cope, drastically reducing their purchases of secret medicine.

This makes it increasingly difficult for the martial arts talents everywhere to be promoted; many of them simply grit their teeth and head to Xiushui County.
