Creak!
When the courtyard door opened, a middle-aged man with a sharp face and skinny cheeks entered. He similarly had an obvious ‘Slave’ word on his forehead like Jiang Yi. His strength wasn’t very high and was only at the first stage of the Vajra Realm. When he entered, he didn’t look around randomly; he cupped his hands towards Jiang Yi and greeted,
Hu San gives his greetings to Young Master. May I know of Young Master’s family name?

Jiang Yi beckoned his hand and indicated for Qian Wanguan to bring out two chairs and a table from the main hall. He didn’t invite Hu San inside to have a seat while he gave an eye signal to Feng Luan. The latter quickly entered the courtyard and activated the barrier as there were a few divine senses probing over.

My name is Lone Wolf. Please take a seat!

After experiencing plenty of huge occasions, Jiang Yi had quite an impressive presence. He might not be the strongest, but he was definitely the leader of his group.


After Hu San sat down, he asked in a soft voice,
Hu San, you mentioned that you have all the information that I wanted?

Hu San nodded and let out evil laughter while extending his hand and saying,
One hundred celestial stones for one piece of information. I know plenty of information regarding the Sky Thunder City and also the Gods Bestow Tribe. You can simply ask, and if I cannot answer, I will not take your celestial stones!


One hundred celestial stones…

Jiang Yi’s mouth twitched. This damned place was indeed exploitative. Even information required payment?
Feng Luan and the others knitted their brows as well. Wasn’t a single saint artifact sole for 500 celestial stones? Then wouldn’t they have to give one a saint artifact for five questions? Wasn’t this too fraudulent?

Charge a bit cheaper. We will be able to continue doing business in the future, right?

Jiang Yi was beaming when he asked, but Hu San actually shook his head and said,
I am the only one selling information on this street. If Young Master Lone Wolf doesn’t believe me, you can simply go out and ask around to see if you can find any information. If you can even obtain a single piece of information, I will give you 1000 celestial stones. Hehe, even if you go asking around in the other streets, there is similarly only one individual in charge of selling information. If you want to get any information, it will also require celestial stones.


Uh…

Jiang Yi blinked his eyes with doubt and asked,
Why is it like this?

Hu Sun didn’t speak anymore and extended out his hand, meaning that he needed one hundred celestial stones to answer this question. Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and handed over one hundred celestial stones from the ancient divine essence ring and asked,
Say it then.




Very simple!

Once Hu San received the celestial stones, he revealed a smile immediately and said,
Because I am the information seller appointed by Chief Li. If anyone else dares to sell information, only death will be awaiting.


Eh? Who is Chief Li?
Jiang Yi got startled and understood that this Sky Thunder City wasn’t as simple as it looked.
Hu San didn’t reply and extended out his hand again while Jiang Yi and others rolled their eyes. This person was truly a vicious and greedy individual. If they continued asking like this, they would probably hand over all their celestial stones before obtaining any useful information.
Jiang Yi fell silent and took out one hundred celestial stones from the ring and asked in a serious voice,
Just now, that information isn’t counted. With this one hundred celestial stones, I want to ask, how we are going to have a better life in Sky Thunder City. I hope you can explain elaborately; otherwise… I don’t even want to hear any information.

Hu San received the celestial stones and raised his thumb with appreciation while replying,
Young Master Lone Wolf has asked the crucial question, and I am not going to hide anything. If you want to live well in Sky Thunder City and survive for one year before leaving or choose to establish yourselves here, you have to remember three points…

Firstly, pledge your loyalty to one of the factions. The city has ten major factions, and you can simply look for one of them. Secondly, remain a low-profile and endure silently. Even if someone bullies or humiliates you, you have to endure if you do not have the strength to fight back. You were very clever earlier on. If you have acted arrogantly when you entered, all of you would definitely die in less than five days. Thirdly, you have too many beauties with you, and you will not be able to protect all of them. I advise you to give out two of them…

Swish! Swish! Swish!
Jiang Yi and others’ expressions turned heavy. The first two points were still acceptable, but the third point had thoroughly infuriated everyone. Since Jiang Yi didn’t say anything, no one dared to say anything.
Jiang Yi stared at Hu San with cold eyes, which caused Hu San’s face to turn unnatural. Jiang Yi then asked a few moments later,
What if I don’t give them out?



Hu San shrugged his shoulders and didn’t say anything else. It meant Jiang Yi should choose whether he wanted to listen to his advice or not. Jiang Yi let out a long breath and took out one hundred celestial stones and asked,
How many Heaven Monarchs do the ten factions each have? What are the cultivation strengths of the ten chiefs?

Hu San received the celestial stones, but he curled his lips and said,
Young Master Lone Wolf, you asked two questions…

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and took out another one hundred celestial stones. Hu San then grinned and answered,
Nearly all the Heaven Monarchs had pledged their loyalty to the ten major factions, and each faction has at least around 20 Heaven Monarchs! The ten chiefs are all at the middle-stages of Heaven Monarch Realm. Like our Chief Li—for example—who is a chief, and his strength is ranked third in Sky Thunder City. Of course, the strongest faction of the city is the Lu Clan’s military forces. What I am referring to are the slaves situated in Sky Thunder City.


Middle-stage Heaven Monarch?

Jiang Yi and Feng Luan let out a breath of relief. As long as there weren’t any high-stage Heaven Monarchs, they still had a fighting chance. If there was a high-stage Heaven Monarch, then they didn’t even need to think about staying in Sky Thunder City.
After asking a few casual questions, Jiang Yi had spent a few hundred celestial stones, but he had also obtained quite some useful information.
This Sky Thunder Island wasn’t just a place simply for labor. Places with people would be a place with societies, where there were plenty of hidden experts. Although Jiang Yi still couldn’t understand why all these Heaven Monarchs would stay in this place, he clearly knew that this place was very dangerous. If he didn’t plan each move carefully, they might all just perish in this place. At the very least, they wouldn’t be able to continue staying on Sin Island.
As Jiang Yi still had some celestial stones in the ring, he hesitated and asked another question,
Is the inside of the city absolutely safe?


Naturally!

Hu San replied firmly,
As long as you hand over sufficient thunder stones and do not behave recklessly, the Sky Thunder City is absolutely safe. In the White Dragon Archipelago, the Lu Clan is the overlord; and no one would dare to challenge the Lu Clan’s authority.



After confirming this point, Jiang Yi was slightly at ease. At least he knew that Zhan Wushuang, Qian Wanguan, Yun Fei, and the others were definitely going to be safe in the city. As for the task of obtaining the thunder stones, he would just do it with Feng Luan and the Golden Flood Dragon. Their combined strength was rather competent, and he didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to obtain a few measly thunder stones.
When thinking about the thunder stones, he quickly tossed over one hundred celestial stones and asked,
How am I going to obtain thunder stones?

Hu San replied,
Very simple. There are two methods to obtain thunder stones. The first method is to head out of the eastern city gate and dig for thunder stones in the thunder region. This Sky Thunder Island is a natural Thunder Gathering Array. Thunderbolts would strike down constantly, allowing the rocks outside the eastern city walls to gather a special power of thunder and lightning before condensing into thunder stones. If you are lucky enough, you might be able to find several thunder stones in a single day, but if you are unlucky, you might not even find a single thunder stone. The second method is to buy it with celestial stones. You can look for the members of the ten factions to buy from, and each thunder stone will cost you 800 celestial stones!


Damn…

Jiang Yi truly rolled his eyes. Eight hundred celestial stones for a single thunder stone? Even if he sold the Fire Cloud Armor, he wouldn’t even be able to last for more than twenty days.
He paused for a moment and sneered.
Hu San, aren’t you trying to trick me earlier? It doesn’t matter if I am to join a faction or to give the beauties out. Will I not still have to go out and dig for thunder stones? Since that is the case, what is the use for me to join these factions?

Hu San didn’t ask for any celestial stones this time and answered with a scoff.
Very simple. If you are to join a faction, you will be venturing out with other factions to look for thunder stones. Every time they venture out, there will be a Heaven Monarch leading the groups, which would lower the possibility of getting killed. If you are to venture out by yourselves, you will certainly be killed without a doubt.

Even if you have a Heaven Monarch among you, would you be able to withstand against the attacks from hundreds or even thousands of people? What if a few groups are to surround and attack you? What if the ten chiefs are to make a move personally? Are you going to hide in this city and not venture out forever? You have to know that… without thunder stones, you will still have to die!
