Weapon seller in the world of magic

Wang Chin collapsed onto the ground without being able to resist the gravitational pressure within the gravity dome that covered the entire area with a 1-kilometer radius from the caster, i.e. Mark.

As for the others, they were still in shock to see the death of their patriarch, although not clear how he died. They assumed that Lan Ju did it and now, they were forced to lie on the ground.

"Argh…" Wang Chin let out a scream as he struggled to move. Since Mark had gone with the maximum amount of gravity, even Lan Ju is barely resisting the pressure. For someone like Wang Chin who doesn't have a great physique, it was hell.

Mark wasn't done with his attack. He proceeded to summon the lightning clone while slowly walking toward the enemy.

As the lightning clone appeared beside him, Mark passed an order, "clone, you rip off his arms before he tries anything funny. And Lan Ju… just cut off his head and get rid of him."

"You bastards, you won't get away with this…" These were the last words of the grand mage before his arms and heads were cut off simultaneously.

Somewhere on an island located in a sea of lava, there was a man in the middle of deep meditation. There was a thick layer of energy around him. Violent purple-colored flames were dancing all over the energy. They looked as if they were about to erupt at any moment.

All of a sudden, the man opened his eyes and the layer of energy disappeared. "My life clone was gone." Soon, a gush of new memories entered his mind.

He first gritted his teeth in anger, "that damn zheng… I'll skin it alive… Making a breakthrough into the immortal realm (11-circle) should have certain requirements and these bastards (elders) of my clan aren't cooperative with the information. I guess I have no choice but to make a trip to the plane of mortals and acquire the Eye of Talim. Lu Zhen, huh!"

The same day evening;

After everyone was finished with dinner and the servants cleaned the table, the guests left for their own rooms except for Mark and Shang Wei.

The third prince of the phoenix Empire was captured by Lan Ju as soon as the war is over. He was put on house arrest until the evening.

Once he was reluctantly done eating, he finally got the opportunity to talk with Mark.

As they were sitting alone in the room, Shang Wei grew a bit nervous, not expecting to be caught in this situation.

Fortunately for him, Mark just wanted to ask him why he was at the Wuji sect during that time.

After knowing what Mark can do, Shang Wei would never dare to lie to him. He revealed everything about how a powerful mercenary group was hired by his eldest brother to assassinate him and how he used this opportunity to his advantage.

After thinking for a while, Mark didn't comment anything on the matter and simply replied, "Tag along with us. We will safely drop you at your home, Prince Shang. But, whatever stories you cook up later on, we have nothing to do with them. Just remember that."

That reassurance gave Shang Wei a lot of relief. He couldn't help but let out a smile and thank Mark for the favor.

Two days later;

The two bicorn carriages with their respective coachmen were ready to depart.

Song Yue and others were seated in their respective carriages, Xie Mei hopped onto her griffin, and Mark was having a chat with Kunlun Sect's acting patriarch. Jinlong, the gold dragon also became a passenger for he reluctantly swore his loyalty to Mark in the name of the heavens and both of them consumed each other's blood with a verbal contract.

"Brother Lu, you have done a great favor for us despite the fact that we haven't done much to deserve such favor. Kunlun sect will always be in your debt," said Ding Tai, a grand elder, and the acting patriarch.

Mark replied, "Well, if you want to repay the debt, then please do use your influence to put a good word to the Emperor and the other wealthy individuals. It will help my business to prosper."

It was for this very reason he rewarded the sect. They will give him free publicity and bring huge clients to him while he can put his attention to other matters. There are not many days left till D-day when the system will come online. So, he doesn't have the time to travel around for business anymore.

"Sure… I'll do everything in my hands to help you out…"

As Ding Tai gave his word, Mark nodded with a smile and proceeded to board the carriage.

*neigh* neigh*

Soon, the two bicorn carriages resumed their journey to the south. For the next few days, they only traveled. They crossed the Leon Empire's border to enter the Western Moon kingdom.

But, instead of making a visit to the royal palace, Mark continued to travel further south and entered the Phoenix Empire through the Kunyu mountain range.

From there, the group split up into two groups.

One group consisted of Mark, Jinlong, and Lan Ju.

The other group consisted of Xie Mei and her griffin, Lan Ju, Song Yue, Shang Wei, the manticore, the golden kitten, and the Black Knight (Song Yun).

The first group ventured into the mountains on foot while the other group made their way to the Phoenix Empire's Imperial City in the bicorn carriages.

As for the reason why Jinlong was tagging along with Mark despite how he had already a demigod at his service, it is because of the low amount of loyalty points.

Jinlong's current loyalty to Mark is only at 10%, which is enough for the gold dragon to break the pact between them at any time. Hence, he needed Lan Ju to keep an eye on him for the moment.

As for Xie Mei, there's always manticore and Song Yun for Song Yue's protection. Adding to the fact that he had shown her what he can do, Mark felt like she won't do anything that will only become the reason for her death.
