In a secret subterranean city that seemed like a ghost city with its gloomy and dim environment and dark infrastructure, a black-cloaked figure was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by crimson mist.

At this moment, a pair of glowing crimson eyes filled with eerie sharpness opened, and a husky muttering rang, “My Blood Puppets died right after completing the mission? Even the Killing Fiend Curse was neutralized? What is going on?”

The black-cloaked figure suddenly took a formation plate and activated it. The more the formation plate shimmered, the brighter the sharp glow in his eyes became.

“Spirit Inferno Domain of Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect, and the target was John Weston, the Second Brother of the current outer branch’s head of the Weston Family. The commission came from the Steward of the outer branch of the Sutton Family…” He muttered before a sharp glint flashed past his eyes.

“Could it be that the Sutton Family killed them to keep this from getting out? No, they should know better if they were able to approach us. Whoever did it must be at least an Ascension Guardian or the Killing Fiend Curse won’t be neutralized. “Nonetheless, whoever it was, they killed my Ascension Solider grade Blood Puppets and went against the integrity of our cult. They must die and become part of my collection!”

His killing intent made the crimson churn violently before he suddenly stood up. Suddenly, from the crimson mist, numerous silhouettes appeared behind him.

“It’s been a while since I was personally out in the field…” His husky voice was filled with murderous intent and a hint of cruel ecstasy!

The Western Guardian City has towering dark red walls and two city gates that are always bustling with crowds as they enter and exit, just like the other three-sect cities.

These cities were the biggest economic hubs of the Spirit Inferno Domain, and many people of the domain came here to do business. Even the first-grade sects of the domain had their own personal properties and had opened shops in these cities.

Only the powerful and wealthy could enter and live in these cities, and there were no mortals present; everyone was a cultivator.

“Your Identity Token?” A city gate guard in menacing-looking light red armor asked a youth wearing black robes and a handsome appearance, but not over the top, for the Identity Tokens.

But what truly drew the guard and other people’s attention were two little beasts sitting resting on his shoulders.

The youth smiled in acknowledgment before flipping his hand. A small violet jade token appeared in his hand, and he respectfully handed it to the guard.

The guard glanced at the little bird and the hamster on the youth’s shoulders before he took the token impassively and put it on the runic circle on the small pillar beside his booth.

“Violet Yang Grand Sect’s core disciple, George Edward?” The guard impassively asked as the information appeared above the runic circle while he secretly activated a formation under the booth that could detect lies!

The youth nodded nonchalantly, “That’s me, sir.”

The guard paused for a second before nodding his head. He removed the token from the formation, handed it back to George, and asked, “The reason for your visit?”

“To earn a slot for the upcoming Artifice Inferno Guardian Sect’s Flame Disciple entrance test in six years,” George replied, his eyes filled with youthful ambition. The guard wasn’t surprised by George’s reason since it was normal for aspiring youths from the first-grade sects to be sent here by their sects to try their luck. But alas, most failed before the main entrance test started. The slots for each sect city were very limited, and to get them, one needs talent!

“Sigh…” The Guard sighed as he looked towards George, who was filled with fighting spirit. He wondered if this guy would break when he realized just what kind of bloody battlefield he was about to enter.

The guard slightly shook his head before he sternly asked, looking towards the two beasts on George’s shoulders, “What about those two beasts? Are they your tamed beasts? You need to register them before you can take them inside the city, and if they cause any trouble, you will be responsible for them, not to mention punished if the damage is too great.” George replied smilingly, “No, they are not my tamed beasts but my friends, and they are completely harmless. You can register them using the names Cyrus and Chuchu. Cyrus is a Fire Raven with an elemental-grade bloodline, and Chuchu is an Inferno Mouse with the same bloodline. If they caused trouble, I’m willing to take full responsibility.”

When George introduced them, the two beasts slightly tilted their heads and looked towards the guard with their tiny beady eyes.

The guard couldn’t help but feel that those little fellows looked somewhat excited, like a child playing some game, smug even. He thought it was his imagination before he nodded and operated the runic circle in his hands.

He had been using the lie-detecting formation all this time, and since George’s words weren’t lying, he was clear to enter.

“You and your beast… friends are registered. That would be 10 Tier-3 Spirit Coins.” The guard asked for the entrance fee for all three of them.

Spirit Coins were actually the common currency of Mortal Ascension Heaven since whether they were Qi stones/Soul Crystals or Spirit Stones/Spirit Crystals, they had different grades and Qi density values. Higher-grade Qi/Spirit stones and crystals became increasingly important as the cultivators increased their cultivation.

This was especially true for the Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals, which could only be used by Law State cultivators and were poisonous for elemental state cultivators. The elemental grade treasures were completely useless for Law State cultivators.

That’s why the Spirit Coins were introduced by a very powerful existence known throughout the Mortal Ascension Heaven, with an unfathomable background: the Prime Heavenly Bank, the most secured and wealthiest power known in existence.

Their branches were spread in every territory known to men, and their currency was acknowledged by everyone, not to mention their integrity and protection were top-notch, and many high-level existences used their services. They had also earned the reputation as the safest place in the entire Mortal Ascension Heaven, and no one knows just how old their linage actually was, the Prime Heavenly Bank was a true Ancient existence which no one wanted to offend! The Spirit Coins were divided into Tier-0 to Tier-9. One Tier-0 Spirit Coin was equal to One peak grade-9 spirit stone or soul crystal, and anyone could exchange them for each other anytime from any power or directly from the Prime Heavenly Bank branch.

The Tier-1 to Tier-9 Spirit Stones can be exchanged for Upper Ascension Grade-1 to Upper Ascension Grade-9 Spirit Stones or Spirit Crystals at an equal 1/1 exchange rate.

However, if the Spirit Stones or Spirit Crystals were ‘raw’ instead of ‘refined,’ the exchange rate would be 10 raw spirit stones or spirit crystals of upper ascension grade for 1 Spirit Coin all the way from Tier-1 to Tier-9.

Furthermore, Spirit Coins can’t be exchanged with ‘Lower Grade’ spirit stones or spirit crystals, which increases their value and gives them the same credibility as the latter —even slightly more!

George wasn’t surprised when he heard the guard demanded ‘Spirit Coins.’ He placed ten upper grade-3 refined spirit stones, which seemed to be like emerald pearls with three visible white rings around the peals.

“I don’t have Spirit Coins, but these would be sufficient, right?” George asked politely.

The guard checked the quality of the spirit stones and nodded before putting them away. He suddenly flashed a smile and said, “You may enter. Welcome to the Western Guardian Sect City. I hope you achieve what you’ve come here to accomplish, young man, and remember, don’t cause trouble!”

“Oh, I will!” George ambiguously chucked as he moved towards the entrance, his eyes shimmering with anticipation, ‘Prime Heavenly Bank, how fascinating. Although they are extremely powerful, they also literally hold the title of the wealthiest target of them all!’
