Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Editor: Henyee Translations

Compared to the main city area, the range of the cave abode in the inner city was much smaller. Most of the immortals above the Golden Immortal realm lived here, and some powerful Heavenly Immortals lived there. Ordinary elite teams would buy a cave abode in the inner city to use as a temporary base.

Different regions had different concentrations of immortal veins. If one wanted to cultivate faster, having a cave abode in the inner city or even the main city was undoubtedly the best choice. However, the cave abode here was very expensive. Golden Immortals without backgrounds needed to spend thousands of years to earn merit points to barely buy it.

As the descendant of the Black Horn Legion’s commander, although Huo Yao was a Heavenly Immortal, he could still have a cave abode that occupied a large area in the inner city. The other Golden Immortals of the Ghostfire Team could live in the cave abode because of him.

It was a few days after leaving the teahouse. Huo Yao was picking the plants with the strongest fragrance when he heard footsteps behind him. Without turning his head, he asked, “How is it? Have you investigated the background of the Peace Squad?”

In fact, ever since the Peace Squad entered the foreign races’ bounty list, it had attracted the attention of many factions in the Northern Ice Immortal City. However, no one could investigate the faction behind them. In the Northern Ice Immortal City, any powerful Heavenly Immortal team basically had a background. Not to mention anything else, just immortal artifacts and other resources were not something ordinary Heavenly Immortals could possess.

Everyone knew that the captain of the Peace Squad had several high-grade immortal artifacts. This was also the main reason why no one dared to rashly attack the Peace Squad. High-grade immortal artifacts… only those above the 6th level of the Mystic Immortal Realm had the qualifications and strength to buy them.

This time, Huo Yao used a portion of the Black Horn Legion’s authority to get his subordinates to investigate.

“Captain, I’ve investigated. Behind this squad is a peerless immortal from the main city who arrived in the Northern Ice Immortal City twenty years ago. Their origins aren’t confirmed yet. I only know that this peerless immortal accumulated merits very quickly. In just twenty years, he killed many experts on the foreign races’ bounty list, including peerless immortals from the Devil Clan!”

Huo Yao’s movements paused. To be able to kill peerless immortals of the same level, he had to be mid peerless immortal. There weren’t many mid peerless immortals in the main city, only a few hundred. Even though he was doted on by his grandfather, the commander of the Black Horn Legion, his grandfather was only a fifth level peerless immortal.

“Captain…”

His men hesitated. Huo Yao came back to his senses and said, “Speak.”

“The commander already knows that you’re investigating the Peace Squad. He asked me to remind you not to cause trouble. That peerless immortal surnamed Shen is currently being roped in by various factions. If you cause trouble, the commander won’t do anything.”

Huo Yao frowned. “I understand. Leave!”

When his men left, his face darkened. “That bitch Fu, you’re really lucky to have entered such a small team with a high background. Do you think this will make me retreat? Hmph!”

…

Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Luo Qing, and the others were admiring the beautiful scenery of the waterfall in the cave abode of the Peace team.

Fu Chengxue walked over, looking worried. Yu Yan smiled. “Why? Are you still worried about Huo Yao? I’ve said it before. You don’t have to worry about this. Our Peace Squad isn’t simple either.”

Fu Chengxue bit her red lips. “Captain, after thinking about it, I decided to tell you about it. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”

Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others looked over and realized that this matter was probably different from what they had imagined.

“It’s like this. At first, I left Huo Yao’s side because I accidentally discovered a secret of his. This secret was too shocking, so I hurriedly left to fight in the foreign races’ battlefield, avoiding Huo Yao’s pursuit. I even cultivated a method to conceal my aura, but who knew that he would still come looking for me?”

Yu Yan could not help but ask, “What secret?”

Fu Chengxue waved her hand and used her immortal spiritual energy to form a barrier. Then, she said, “Huo Yao privately resold the resources transferred from the city.”

Yu Yan’s expression did not change. “Is that all?”

To be honest, reselling resources was not a rare thing. The Northern Ice Immortal City was really too huge. Every year, countless resources were sent from the other Immortal Realms. It was normal for there to be some losses during this period. Faced with such tempting benefits, it was impossible for there to be no faction to resell.

Even the normal exchange of merit points for resources was a little shady. For example, some specialized in selling merit points, or there were more resources exchanged for similar merit points.

There are so many things going on.

Fu Chengxue shook her head. “If it was just reselling, I wouldn’t have been targeted by Huo Yao. Other than reselling, he also secretly traded with the foreign races. Many precious resources of the Northern Ice Immortal City were transferred to the hands of the Devil Clan and the Flame Race.”

Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the other women were stunned.

“Trade with the foreign races?”

“Chengxue, are you sure about this?”

On the battlefield of the foreign races, humans, the Devil Clan, and the Flame Race were almost incompatible. The Heavenly Court also explicitly prohibited them from trading resources with the foreign races. Although this prohibition was very difficult to investigate every immortal, at the very least, the transaction of resources was absolutely prohibited. As long as they were discovered, they would be dealt with.

There were definitely dark forces specializing in this kind of business in the entire immortal city. Otherwise, some special supplementary resources would not have appeared in the underground black market of the immortal city. It had to be known that many resources of the Devil Clan and the Flame Clan were greatly beneficial to human immortals.
