The transaction between the two went smoothly, as the two golden papers brushed past each other, Wang Xu accepted the map fragnt and lightly checked it, imdiately revealing a look of joy.
This map fragnt was precisely what he was missing the most.
"I completed it." Wang Xu was excited.
After so many years, he finally pieced together the first complete map. With this map, Wang Xu possessed the qualification to participate in the true Battle of Qualification and also had the opportunity to gain an Ancient Inheritance!
"I still want to continue exchanging map fragnts." Since this place could provide him with a venue for exchanging map fragnts, Wang Xu naturally could not miss this rare opportunity and planned to complete his second map as well.
"As long as you can et the conditions for the exchange, there is no problem with any number of map fragnts." The gray-clothed man’s eyes flickered with a different color.
Jie Wu’s dejected expression suddenly beca brilliant.
"Here are the nas of the maps and the coordinates of the fragnts." With a wave of his hand, Wang Xu sent a list of map fragnts flying, densely covered with writing, marking more than three hundred map fragnts in total.
Wang Xu’s second closest-to-complete map already had nine thousand six hundred pieces, lacking just these three hundred pieces. If he could collect them all, Wang Xu’s second complete map would also be born as a result.
The second Ancient Inheritance!
At the thought of being able to obtain two Ancient Inheritances at once, Wang Xu couldn’t help but be moved.
The gray-clothed man glanced at it lightly and pondered for a mont.
"Three hundred map fragnts, I only have two hundred that match your requirents, and I am powerless with the remaining one hundred," said the gray-clothed man.
"Only two hundred? That’s fine, state your designated fragnts." Although he was longing for it in his heart, getting two Ancient Inheritances at once was unrealistic. Wang Xu didn’t demand too much, two hundred pieces would suffice, and he would look for the remaining one hundred slowly.
The gray-clothed man also produced a list, and Wang Xu glanced at it, finding that most of the map fragnts were scattered and fragnted. The two hundred map fragnts belonged to two hundred maps, with no duplicates.
If it were any other Cosmic Martial Artist, wanting to produce two hundred different independent map fragnts at once would be extrely difficult.
But Wang Xu is different.
He had no shortage of anything except map fragnts.
Among the six hundred thousand map fragnts, there were all sorts, many of which even Cosmic Martial Artists had never seen, let alone these re two hundred pieces.
"I have all of these." With a turn of his mind, Wang Xu identified the two hundred map fragnts identical to the ones on the list, and imdiately, two hundred golden papers appeared from his mouth, making Jie Wu and others beside him watch with fiery eyes, their palms involuntarily tightening.
A great catch, an absolute great catch!
Jie Wu also glanced at the previous list, and many nas of map fragnts he had never heard of, yet this "Hedon Kael" could produce them all at once. What does this signify?
Hedon Kael had enough map fragnts and a large enough reserve to provide so many obscure map fragnts at once!
"Move the mont we get out." Jie Wu signaled to his two subordinates with his eyes, and they nodded repeatedly. They had also noticed this detail, showing undisguised greed in their eyes.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
While the gray-clothed man was counting Wang Xu’s map fragnts, two figures suddenly appeared in the small room.
"Oso, Erpidu, why are you two so bedraggled?" Jie Wu asked, clearly familiar with the two of them.
Wang Xu then curiously glanced over, and suddenly a sharp light burst from his eyes.
These two were precisely the ones who, together with the Winged Warrior and thousands of Cosmic Martial Artists, plotted against him.
With a slight contemplation, Wang Xu narrowed his eyes, understanding many things he hadn’t comprehended before.
These people ambushed him, possessing a concealnt thod even he hadn’t detected, and also knew how to lure that ape-like special life form... all of this was likely the work of this secret trading post!
"Don’t ntion it, we almost succeeded, but one of them suddenly shouted ’The Great Demon King is coming,’ and at that mont, we were all startled and retreated. By the ti we realized we had been deceived, that guy had broken through the defense line and escaped!" The Cosmic Martial Artist Oso, with a cloth wrapped around his head, said dejectedly.
Jie Wu and the others burst into laughter: "Haha, and you got scared like that just by a na, are you really that afraid?"
Oso was annoyed, glaring at Jie Wu and the others, saying, "What do you know? We’ve witnessed the Great Demon King’s thods. Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant. If you’ve got the guts, next ti you see the Great Demon King, don’t run!"
"So what if he is powerful? As long as I don’t confront him head-on, I’m not afraid of him either." Jie Wu thought little of it. Indeed, the Great Demon King was powerful, even those who surpassed the White Hole Level couldn’t withstand a strike from him. But now everyone recognized him, and would turn tail and run the mont he was discovered, let alone how sensitive his own perception was to aura, he was completely unafraid of the Great Demon King.
However, they were all unaware that the Great Demon King they were talking about was already standing beside them, watching them with an amused look.
"Hedon Kael, here are your map fragnts." The gray-robed man spoke, and Wang Xu took the two hundred pieces of golden paper, shining with golden light. Oso and Erpidu also showed eyes of fervor.
Although two hundred map fragnts are not considered great wealth to them, the person able to produce so many map fragnts must possess far more than two hundred pieces?
Furthermore, Wang Xu was wearing a white mask, and even their spiritual consciousness couldn’t penetrate to see the true face of Wang Xu. This obscured identity alone was enough to arouse suspicion.
"And who might this be..." Oso imdiately inquired.
"Hedon Kael." Without waiting for others to introduce, Wang Xu spoke first. He wanted to see what these two were up to.
"Haha... It’s Mr. Kael. It seems we’ve t before... Yes, I’ve seen you before, back when we were in the ’Black Scale Swamp’." Oso said, his eyes suddenly brightening, exclaiming.
Oso didn’t realize it initially, but as he spoke, he suddenly rembered. More than ten years ago, they had encountered each other in the Black Scale Swamp. At that ti, the first complete map had yet to appear, and the killing intent wasn’t as intense. Both sides were evenly matched; they just brushed past each other.
Wang Xu frowned, surprised that the owner of this mask had a passing acquaintance with Oso. However, it seed Oso wasn’t familiar with the mask’s owner; otherwise, they would’ve recognized it at once. Hedon Kael was a na Wang Xu had made up on the spot, unrelated to the mask’s owner.
"Oh? Then I wonder what business Mr. Oso has?" Wang Xu was unwilling to say more.
"Just getting to know each other." Oso smiled, "I wonder if Mr. Kael..."
Oso intended to ask further, but the gray-robed man shot him a stern glance, abruptly interrupting Oso’s words.
"Oso, will you choose to purchase, or trade items?" The gray-robed man’s aning was clear: this was a place for transactions, not a chatting hall. If they wanted to chat, they should go outside.
"I want to purchase information." Oso adjusted his expression slightly, a flicker of respect crossing his eyes.
"What information?" The gray-robed man’s tone was indifferent.
"Information about the Great Demon King." As soon as Oso finished speaking, Jie Wu and others couldn’t help but curiously ask: "Last ti you confronted the Great Demon King, you nearly died at his hands, and you want to go at him again?"
"Impossible!" Oso replied, "Recently, the Great Demon King has been rampant. I need to acquire more map fragnts to avoid any encounter with him. I must understand his whereabouts to stay clear of his location."
Wang Xu was shocked. No wonder he hadn’t encountered cosmic martial artists recently; either they bizarrely escaped, or the place was selling information about him!
He just didn’t know what thod these people used to obtain his coordinates. Could it be he had a mark on him?
"One hundred map fragnts." The gray-robed man spoke directly. A hundred map fragnts were indeed valuable.
Without hesitation, Oso produced a hundred map fragnts. Keeping his life was more important than anything else.
The gray-robed man waved his hand, and abruptly a damaged carapace appeared on the counter, palm-sized, yet emanating a hint of divine aura.
"Divine Treasure!" Wang Xu’s pupils narrowed. He didn’t expect the gray-robed man to possess such a treasure, making him more curious about the man’s identity.
The gray-robed man closed his eyes, continuously weaving seals with his hands. Mysterious light seals of various colors manifested in the void.
"Release!" Monts later, the gray-robed man suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant light shooting out. Simultaneously, Wang Xu felt an indescribable power descending upon him, and in the void, a light screen appeared, revealing a black-robed figure within.
This black-robed figure wore a white mask on his face, none other than Wang Xu’s own image.
"It’s you!"
"Damn it, the Great Demon King is actually here!"
"Run!"
Jie Wu, Oso, and others had a drastic change in expression, screaming in shock. At the sight of the white mask, they imdiately realized that the "Hedon Kael" standing before them was indeed the feared Great Demon King!
Instantly, everyone acted without hesitation, swiftly taking out Light Jades and preparing to leave.
"Trying to leave?" At the sa ti, Wang Xu’s White Jade Long Saber was already in hand, the Light and Dark Blade Aura roaring out, slicing Jie Wu, Oso, and others in half.
"Puff!" Instantly, they didn’t even have ti to scream, all turning directly into a mist of blood.
In an instant, besides the gray-robed man, everyone else died on the spot.
Wang Xu beckoned, and all the space rings fell into his hand. He also tore off the white mask from his face, as there was no point in hiding any longer since he had been exposed.
"You actually..." The gray-robed man also had a drastic change in expression. He had long seen Wang Xu’s power, the kind that had reached the Mixed Universe Realm, and was utterly beyond his ability to resist!
"Selling my portraits, selling my information, even the ans they use to deal with , it’s all what you’ve been selling... Business is going well." Wang Xu’s gaze was icy, speaking coldly.
