Chapter 223: 185 Too Bullying! The Terrified Third Prince!
The young man's threat didn't concern Su Changqing too much.
He is no longer ignorant, whether in terms of personal strength or background.
It gave him some confidence.
Just as the teacher once advised, when out in the world, avoid trouble, but do not fear it either.
Always put reason first.
"Three thousand Spirit Stones, correct?"
Seeing the steward did not respond, Su Changqing looked at the price listed for the bell himself, smiled, and took out three hundred high-grade Spirit Stones,
"Then now, this item is mine."
As he spoke, Su Changqing flicked his palm, and the bronze bell fell into his storage ring.
The young man seeing this did not speak, just looked at him with a mocking smile.
"Young Master..."
The steward looked at Su Changqing and said with a bitter smile, "It's best to put the bell back."
"It's not worth causing a confrontation over an uncertain artifact."
Su Changqing frowned slightly at these words, "In business, trustworthiness is key."
"Now that payment and goods are settled, the steward wants me to put the bell back, is Celestial Fate City lawless?"
The steward looked embarrassed, glanced at the young man, sighed lightly, and said no more.
"Law?"
The young man chuckled more at these words, and said calmly, "In Celestial Fate City, I am the law."
The space on the fifth floor was not large, and the dispute drew many people's attention.
But seeing the young man, everyone looked at Su Changqing with sympathetic eyes.
"That's Prince Gong's youngest son, Zhou Tong, isn't it? Of all people, he had to provoke him, what a mess."
"Right, although Prince Gong is not among the top, he is still a royal relative, this young man might be in trouble."
"Isn't it obvious? In Celestial Fate City opposing the royal family, even if this young man has some background, he might still have to bow and apologize..."
Spectators around whispered softly, showing pity for the obvious outsider, Su Changqing.
Zixiao Country is one of the Ten Nations, the influence of its princes is obvious without thinking.
Let alone being in Celestial Fate City, Zhou Tong's identity would deter people even in top factions.
"A prince's offspring?"
Su Changqing showed surprise, not expecting to encounter such a character when casually buying an artifact.
"Young Master, take the Spirit Stones and leave quickly."
The steward advised softly seeing this, "Lowering your head when dealing with Young Master Zhou is not shameful."
"Leave?"
Before Su Changqing could speak, Zhou Tong chuckled, "You can leave, but leave the bell."
"And leave your Dharma Wheel Secret Skill as well."
Obsessed with treasure hunting, Zhou Tong frequented major artifact pavilions.
Through threats or acquisitions, he had collected many Eye Technique Secret Methods.
But those secret skills were clearly inferior to the Mind Wheel Dharma Eye in front of him.
Now since he encountered it, Zhou Tong naturally wouldn't let it go.
"Seize my artifact and even want my secret skill?"
Su Changqing laughed in anger upon hearing this.
He originally didn't want trouble, but even a clay figurine has dignity, let alone a cultivator?
He didn't want to cause trouble for his mentor, but that doesn't mean his mentor or he feared trouble.
"Not giving?"
Zhou Tong smiled, waving gently.
Whoosh!
With a sound of wind, an elder at the King level appeared in the scene.
"Kid, keep your eyes open in your next life."
The elder spoke lightly, extending a huge handprint instantly above Su Changqing's head.
"Finished."
The steward and everyone present sighed lightly, unsurprised by the outcome.
But suddenly...
As the elder's handprint descended, Su Changqing's body erupted with divine brilliance.
BOOM!
In that burst of light, the elder's eyes showed surprise, then his face changed wildly with fear.
"Pfft!"
The moment the divine brilliance touched, the elder was like a broken doll, spewing blood and flying backward.
After landing, the elder continued to spit blood, struggled a few times but couldn't stand, and then slowly ceased to respond.
Silence!
At this moment, everyone present stared blankly at the calm-faced boy, somewhat unresponsive.
A King level cultivator, who hadn't even touched the boy, just... dropped unconscious?
"Trouble!"
Coming to his senses, the steward's face changed instantly, glancing at Zhou Tong.
"Boy!"
Looking at the fallen elder, veins appeared on Zhou Tong's forehead, his icy voice said:
"With protective secret skills from your elders, you dare act recklessly?"
"You can defeat a King level, but what about a Saint, a Saint King!"
Zhou Tong looked at Su Changqing, speaking gloomily:
"Daring to attack the royal family in Celestial Fate City, you have no idea how much trouble you've caused for your elders!"
"Today, not only must you die, but your elders must come to bow and admit guilt!"
"Someone, notify Prince Gong's residence!"
...
"What's happening below, why so noisy."
On the top floor of the Artifact Pavilion, a man in a Four-Clawed Golden Dragon Robe, opulent and dignified, frowned looking down.
"Someone oblivious crashed into Young Prince Zhou Tong."
The Pavilion Master of the Artifact Pavilion wiped sweat from his forehead, hurriedly said:
"The item the Third Prince requires will be delivered soon, can wait a bit, I'll handle it immediately."
In the Imperial City, a prince is a figure to reckon with.
Though the Artifact Pavilion holds a significant reputation, it's generally difficult to contact prince-level figures.
Today the Third Prince came hurriedly to obtain a treasure from the pavilion, making the Pavilion Master pleased rather than upset.
Hoping to use this opportunity to establish a connection with the Third Prince.
Unexpectedly, he hadn't been here long when commotion arose below, causing the Pavilion Master to grit his teeth thoroughly.
