184: Power is useful! The poor creature under

All sorts of rumors had long since spread within the world of the Upper Three Sects in the Northern Region, and even to this day, many people were still aware of them.

One only needed to go to the Tianji Pavilion, inquire a bit, and spend one hundred Low Grade spirit crystals; these common pieces of information were very easy to obtain.

However, Yang Yucheng and Liu Dongqing cared nothing for Tang Ao's deep-seated hatred or Chen Yao's profound affection; they paid them no mind.

It was early morning!

The spirit meal was in Yang Yucheng's hand. As Liu Dongqing left, Yang Yucheng continued to walk around this area.

Yang Yucheng hadn't fully digested yesterday's dinner yet.

Fortunately!

The morning spirit meal was slightly smaller, consisting only of three plates of pastries, so Yang Yucheng naturally carried them with him, intending to replenish himself after digesting a portion.

Food could not be wasted, especially food that was so important to him.

Yang Yucheng had considered going directly to the kitchen to pack up the ingredients, but he was told it was not allowed, so he could only eat one meal at a time.

Slowly, he ate.

Yang Yucheng could understand.

If everyone did this, the City Lord's Mansion in Ascension Immortal City would probably have been looted long ago, and it would have been operating at a deficit.

How could it be sustained?

After walking around the nearby island, Yang Yucheng, having nothing to do, left and went directly to Ascension Immortal City.

His thoughts stirred!

Ascension Immortal City, Outer City!

...Yang Yucheng locked onto his target!

Before he fully appeared, his spiritual sense went ahead!

Noisy human voices came from all around. Along both sides of the street, various small vendors were arranged in order, and pedestrians came and went.

It looked quite lively!

Smiles bloomed on everyone's faces.

Presumably, life in this Ascension Immortal City must be relatively good.

Yang Yucheng could also guess the reason: it was merely because the 'cake' was large, so even if only a small portion was distributed to the people below, it was enough for them to live stable and prosperous lives!

Suddenly, a white light flashed.

Above the mid-air of Ascension Immortal City's Outer City, a handsome black-haired man appeared out of thin air!

"Who is it? How dare you fly in Ascension Immortal City? Do you not wish to live?"

"You have broken the city's rules and laws. Today, you shall be punished!"

As soon as Yang Yucheng appeared.

Two fierce voices, one after another, came mixed together.

But when these two figures landed in front of Yang Yucheng,

Their previous expressions turned to panic.

"It turns out to be Lord Ascension Immortal Envoy!"

"Please, Lord Ascension Immortal Envoy, forgive us! Just now, we did not see your face, voice, or attire, and we offended you. We are truly sorry!"

The two men were truly uneasy.

If it were an ordinary Ascension Immortal Envoy, they might have been able to salvage the situation a bit.

But the Yang Yucheng before them...

The Immortal Ascension Assembly was about to begin!

The City Lord had already given the faces of those who must not be offended to these high-ranking officials of the city.

Especially Yang Yucheng; he had been specifically and emphatically warned that anyone who offended him would die immediately!

There was no need to come before him to plead for mercy.

Yang Yucheng.

He was a true Ascension Immortal Envoy, a Disciple of Protector Han of the Spirit Sect Realm.

The City Lord would never provoke him over such trivial matters! Not to mention, Yang Yucheng and he had hit it off immediately and were now sworn brothers. Seeing Yang Yucheng was like seeing him, Chu Tianxing.

If Yang Yucheng was insulted, then he, Chu Tianxing, was insulted.

That was why the two men in front were so terrified and immediately offered their apologies.

"It's nothing!"

Seeing their expressions, Yang Yucheng smiled faintly, "You two are just doing your jobs according to the rules, as you should!"

"It should be me apologizing to you."

"Being thrown into the city's dungeon is probably out of the question, but perhaps a fine of some spirit crystals would be acceptable!"

Yang Yucheng's gentle laughter fell.

The two men immediately breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that they could reconcile.

"How dare we say it's your fault, Lord!"

"This is a token of respect from us brothers to you. We hope Lord Ascension Immortal Envoy will be understanding."

After speaking,

The two men respectfully placed two qiankun bags (cosmic bags) in front of Yang Yucheng, even holding them in mid-air with spiritual power, saving Yang Yucheng the effort of reaching for them.

After doing all this, they transformed into streaks of light and instantly vanished into the crowd below, not even a trace of their Qi remaining.

It was clear they did not want Yang Yucheng to return the spirit crystals to them.

For them, only by giving this 'filial piety money' to Yang Yucheng could their hearts truly be at ease. Otherwise, if Yang Yucheng didn't accept the money?

Then what would he accept?

Could it be their heads?

In the end, it was better to accept the money.

Looking at the two qiankun bags (cosmic bags) in front of him, Yang Yucheng gave a wry smile, the amusement in his eyes growing more helpless.

White light flickered!

Yang Yucheng waved his right hand, and the two qiankun bags (cosmic bags) were put away by him. A quick glance showed that each qiankun bag contained a full one thousand mid-grade spirit crystals.

"Presumably, for those two just now, that's quite a sum."

"You've gone to a lot of trouble!"

Yang Yucheng said with a smile.

He descended from the high altitude, no longer as conspicuous and reckless as before.

Yang Yucheng walked through the streets and alleys, like an ordinary person.

The robes he wore were still the Sect Head robes from before, not the robes of an Ascension Immortal Envoy, so the surrounding common people would not be too alarmed.

"This power is really easy to use!"

Yang Yucheng murmured inwardly.

He had come all the way, appearing in this world.

During this time,

Strength was paramount.

And after strength, power was truly second.

Under the derivation of power, various rules were utilized by Yang Yucheng.

Sometimes, those whose cultivation was higher than his, or on par with his, who clearly could have engaged him in a fierce battle to the death,

But before it could even begin, they had already fallen into a disadvantage, and were ultimately easily killed by him.

The most obvious example:

The former Third Elder, Wang Chongming, was a very good example.

He clearly had a chance to escape from the Sect, even if it was just a faint, ethereal chance, it would still have been better than being under Yang Yucheng's control and ultimately killed by him.

From beginning to end, he didn't put up any decent resistance, not even for a moment.

He just died like that.

And such people were truly pitiable.

Bound by rules, suppressed by power, so under the long immersion of time, they gradually forgot a bit of the wildness in their hearts.

This wildness came from animality.

Its implied meaning was to destroy everything, to ruin everything.

And in times of necessity, it could even ignore everything!

But unfortunately,

Most people, under the manipulation of various ideologies, gradually became prisoners of thought, slaves.

So sometimes, those who clearly could have won, ultimately lost.

It was truly a great tragedy!

Weighing the two qiankun bags (cosmic bags) in his hand, the mid-grade spirit crystals inside the bags rose and fell with Yang Yucheng's movements, emitting crisp, clinking sounds.

And the two people from Ascension Immortal City just now were also like this.
