Weapon seller in the world of magic-Chapter 425 A Supreme Being With Mysterious Origins

In a couple of minutes, Shang Fu met the supreme realm expert, who came all the way from the Dragon Empire.

He was old with wrinkles all over his body, looking like a bag of bones.

"Emperor Shang, let me introduce myself. My name is Huang Ming and I'm a traveling adventurer. I heard about the war and I'm here to help you."

Unlike Shang Wen who just trusts Mark's words, Shang Fu has already confirmed the existence of the gold dragon in Western Yan.

Just this early morning, Jinlong was received grandly by Feng Wu and he didn't do it in secret either. All the citizens living in Gong City witnessed the majestic dragon too.

This confirmation only increased Shang Fu's worry. And the appearance of a supreme realm expert looked like a blessing from heaven.

However, Shang Wei won't be fooled like his father. He immediately enquired the reason behind his action, "But, why? Venerable Huang, you must know that we have enemies of the same caliber as you."

To which, the traveler let out a smile, "I'm not risking my life for fun either. You can pay me with something I desire."

"What is it?" asked the Emperor. He further added, "Anything you desire, it is yours."

The traveler answered, "Your second child, Shang Wen."

"What do you mean?" Shang Fu abruptly stood up from his seat in shock and furrowed his brows in displeasure.

The traveler continued to maintain his smile as he waved his hand, "You misunderstood me. What I mean is that I want him as my disciple. I heard about his righteous qualities and his talent.

With the power of the Phoenix running through his blood, he is a perfect person to inherit my knowledge. He will still be your son but won't be able to serve as the General.

I'm almost at the end of my life span. And I realized that it is almost impossible to make the breakthrough to become the demigod. Rather than expending my life force to chase an impossible dream, I decided to use my cultivation for something great.

If your son becomes my disciple, within a few years, I will not only make him a master but also let him inherit my cultivation before I die. After my death, he will return to his homeland as the Supreme Being. Who knows, he might be able to even become a demigod within a century or two.

Everything depends on your choice, Emperor Shang. Whatever you decide, take it very soon. I'm leaving after sunset. If not him, then, I will find another. The world didn't lack geniuses with potential."

Shang Wei didn't expect not only this supreme realm expert to turn out to be Supreme Being but he is also interested to make Shang Wen his disciple. Adding on top of that, he will also help them in the war.

Shang Wei felt like the goddess of luck has smiled upon the Empire. Meanwhile, the Emperor stayed silent.

The Supreme Being from faraway lands was taken to the guest room to take a rest, leaving the Emperor in deep thought.

He was reluctant to send him away.

As the third prince returned to the private chamber and saw his father sitting there and thinking, he spoke, "Your Majesty, this is a fortune for us. Brother is very lucky."

"But, for me, it sounded like I was asked to sell my kid for a favor," replied the Emperor. He then looked at him and said, "We don't need his assistance to be honest."

"Yes, but we cannot prolong this war any longer. The more Feng Wu stays on the land, the higher the chance he will discover the existence of the mines and 'that' tomb.

There's a high chance it has already been discovered by the third party who was helping him out. But, we should be fine as long as the Leon Empire or the Dragon Empire learn of it. Or else, it would be a huge trouble.

That is why we need him. And don't think too much, Your Majesty. Just think of it as you are sending him a conquest for a few years."

"Hmmmm…"

Meanwhile, at Mt. Lan;

Lan Jingyi returned from the graveyard and confronted the zheng. She demanded the release of her daughter once again.

In response, the scarlet leopard let out a chuckle and replied, "You and I don't belong to this world. You married someone. That's fine with me but you shall not involve in the wars of these natives.

Of course, as your daughter who awakened my late master's bloodline, Shang Jiao shall not involve in the war between Phoenix Empire and the Western Yan either, whatever the result might be.

Until this is over, your daughter will be safe with me and you will not cross the Imperial city. You are allowed to defend your family at your home though. I hope you understand what I'm saying, Lan Jingyi."

Lan Jingyi stared at him in silence.

Meanwhile, Shang Wen was filled with confusion. Lan Jingyi getting herself involved in this war? She is just a mortal without any ether energy. Shang Jiao might have some impact with her 6-circle realm cultivation but the enemies are supreme beings.

It just doesn't make sense unless Zheng was actually protecting them out of his affection for the Lan family.

Then, what of his conspiracy theory about Lan Jing being the mastermind?

His views didn't change much.

Mankind is always afraid of the unknown. Rather than thinking that there might be a mysterious enemy, even a righteous person like Shang Wen couldn't help but believe that the Eastern Sun kingdom is the enemy because, then, everything would just make sense.

Genesis Weapon store, Imperial City;

There was a strange silence in the store and everyone appeared very bored.

*Sigh* "It's been two days since the last customer." Placing her head on the desk, Song Yue complained.

Well, it's not like they went out of popularity. It is just that the entire city is in a lockdown state where the soldiers aren't even letting the people leave or enter the city without permission.

With the markets closed, the food supply was being taken care of by the imperial palace.

Of course, Mark has no problem with the ingredients as he has already procured 1-year worth of food and meat from various sources and loaded them into his inventory before the start of the war.

However, his business has been impacted slightly. In the current situation, he cannot go to the western moon's branch for business purposes as he wants to lie low and make sure he doesn't gain any suspicion from the imperial palace.

Hence, he decided to send a trusted subordinate to sell the weapons. Allen is out of the equation as his movements also attract attention. Xie Mei isn't trustable. Mark cannot bear to send away his fiancée. The zheng and the gold dragons are doing their own missions. Mark was left with only Chang Bo, the welpire.

However, he won't send him away alone. For this project, he has a card up his sleeve.

That ace is none other than Meng Tao, who was recruited during the Dragon Warrior Tournament but wasn't used yet.

Today is the day Mark decided to use this hidden ace. Everyone else was waiting for a customer while he was waiting for Meng Tao to arrive.
