Chapter 2099: Welcome Inn Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage from a force would usually leave their belongings to their forces before they faced the Heavenly Tribulation. However, there were quite a few sectless cultivators who were at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. They did not belong to any force, and most of them did not have family or friends. Before these sectless cultivators pass the Heavenly Tribulation and ascend, or die in an attempt to ascend, they would mostly hide their Spatial Rings that contained treasures somewhere. These places were later known as treasure vaults. The possessions of powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage were undoubtedly treasures! ‘It seems like this is part of the reason so many sectless cultivators decide to come to Sin City.” Duan Ling Tian came to this conclusion when he heard there was news being spread occasionally about the location of the treasure vault of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Even he was intrigued by the treasures left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Would the items left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage be ordinary? Absolutely not. After a while, Duan Ling Tian discovered there was nothing useful he could learn in the restaurant anymore so he paid his bills and left after eating. For sectless cultivators who had just arrived in Sin City, there were three options when it came to accommodations. First, they could choose to stay in a specially constructed residence built by Sin City. However, one must fight for a place to stay. It was an impossible feat if one was not strong enough. The second choice would be to stay in the residences provided by various alliances. To stay there, one had to join the alliance that the residence belonged to. The third choice was to stay in an inn. The cost to stay in an inn in Sin City was very high. There were many kinds of rooms. Apart from normal rooms, there were rooms with courtyards. They even had mansions! Naturally, the mansions would cost even more. It was not something normal people would be able to afford. ‘Let’s just find an inn to stay in.’ Duan Ling Tian made up his mind. He did not even consider the first two options. The inns in Sin City were owned by various alliances. Naturally, they were protected by the respective alliance that owned them. For this reason, this allowed visitors to have a peaceful stay. This was one of the reasons why Duan Ling Tian chose to stay in an inn. After leaving the restaurant in the center of Sin City, Duan Ling Tian approached an inn nearby that looked luxurious. The name of the inn was ‘Welcome Inn’. Behind the reception of the inn, an old man sat there, dozing off. When he heard the noise Duan Ling Tian made, he quickly opened his eyes and forced a smile on his face. “A guest?” ‘A Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse!’ As soon as the old man opened his eyes, Duan Ling Tian sensed the aura of a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse from the old man. “He’s at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” Elder Huo confirmed Duan Ling Tian’s guess. ‘Even a mere innkeeper is a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse... It seems that the alliance that owns this inn isn’t simple!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. “Yes, I’m planning to stay here,” Duan Ling Tian replied to the old man and nodded. The old man’s smile widened when he heard Duan Ling Tian intended to stay. He asked enthusiastically, “The rooms available in Welcome Inn are similar to most inns in Sin City. There are three types of accommodations. We have normal rooms, rooms with a courtyard, and mansions. Which one would you like to stay in?” “How much do you charge for the different types of accommodations?” Duan Ling Tian asked. Although Duan Ling Tian had heard accommodations in Sin City were expensive, he did not know how expensive it would be. Duan Ling Tian felt as though he had broadened his horizons when he heard the old man speak. “For a normal room, it’ll be one grade-three Saint Stone per day. For a room with a courtyard, it’ll be one grade-two Saint Stone per day. As for the mansion, it’ll be one grade-one Saint Stone per day,” the old man said with a smile. Although Duan Ling Tian knew the rooms were going to be expensive, he could not help but gasp inwardly when he heard the exact prices for the rooms. It was extremely expensive! Especially when the price was only for a night. It might not be expensive if one only stayed for a day. However, most people would definitely stay longer than a night. The old man seemed to notice Duan Ling Tian’s surprise, but he maintained a neutral expression. He asked with a smile, “Is this your first time in Sin City? “Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He did not feel there was a need to hide that it was his first time in Sin City. “Dear guest, the prices of the rooms in Welcome Inn are fair. It isn’t more expensive than the other inns. Moreover, our services are definitely more superior than most inns in Sin City!” The old man said confidently, “Perhaps, the rooms in Welcome Inn are similar to other inns in terms of quality. However, in terms of safety, not many inns can compete with us! Welcome Inn is own by the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance. We have powerhouse from the alliance standing guard here. If you stay here, there’s no need for you to worry about your safety!” “The Mighty Tyrannical Alliance?!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened when he heard the old man’s words. This was because he had heard of this alliance before he arrived in Sin City. Based on what Duan Ling Tian heard from Wang Yi Fo, the Might Tyrannical Alliance was a fairly strong alliance in Sin City. The old man was very astute. He instantly noticed the change in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. “It seems like you’ve heard of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance.” “Yes, I’ve heard of it.” Duan Ling Tian did not bother denying it. He nodded before he took a grade-one Saint Stone out and placed it on the counter. “Innkeeper, I’ll take the room with a courtyard. I’ll pay for a ten-day stay.” “Alright.” The innkeeper became more enthusiastic when he heard Duan Ling Tian had decided to stay in a room with a courtyard. After registering Duan Ling Tian, the innkeeper handed a token marked with the words ‘Ground 27’. The token was a little heavy. Apart from that, it seemed to emit a strange energy. ‘There’s a Formation?’ It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure out the energy was from a Formation. “Please wait a minute. I’ll have someone lead you to your room,” the innkeeper said before he tore a Dao talisman up. After a span of three breaths had passed... Hu! A gust of wind blew in, bringing a short but nimble manservant with it. He took the token marked with the words ‘Ground 27’ from Duan Ling Tian and began to lead Duan Ling Tian to the back of the inn. Soon after, Duan Ling Tian arrived at a spacious courtyard. There were flowers and grass in the courtyard. It was exquisite and pleasant to look at. It had a separate room at the back. “Esteemed guest, this is your room.” “This token serves as the key to your room. You can easily pass through the Formation that shrouds this place with this key,” the manservant said as he returned the token to Duan Ling Tian. At the same time, Duan Ling Tian saw a sign above the courtyard that said ‘Ground 27’. The manservant took his leave after he watched Duan Ling Tian entered the courtyard. As soon as Duan Ling Tian stepped into the courtyard, he realized it was extremely quiet. ‘It seems like the Formation that shrouds this place includes a noise-canceling Formation. However, it’s still expensive for them to charge a grade-two Saint Stone per night,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. A noise-canceling Formation could be easily created with a few low-grade Saint Stones. Nonetheless, Ground 27 in Welcome Inn would be Duan Ling Tian’s temporary residence in Sin City. ... Meanwhile, the Leader of Ground Ax Alliance had a portrait drawn out and made many copies of it to be distributed to members of the alliance. Yao Bu Ji had announced that they had to find the person in the portrait regardless of the cost. Anyone who had clues about the whereabouts of this person would be rewarded with a hundred grade-one Saint Stones. If they managed to bring him to the alliance’s estate, they would be rewarded with a hundred quasi celestial-grade Saint Stones. As the saying went, ‘A generous reward will rouse the people’s enthusiasm.’ The members of the Ground Ax Alliance were buzzing with excitement when they heard their leader’s order. Even Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses in the Ground Ax Alliance brought along the portrait as they searched around Sin City. For the reason Duan Ling Tian was using the same disguise he had used when he killed the two men from the Ground Ax Alliance, it did not take long for members from the Ground Ax Alliance to find out that he was in Sin City. They even found out which restaurant he had been to and which table he had sat at. Moreover, they even discovered the inn he was staying in. Upon learning that Duan Ling Tian was staying in Welcome Inn, Yao Bu Ji, the Leader of the Ground Ax Alliance, frowned. He did not think the matter would be so tricky. “Welcome Inn?” Yao Bu Ji was not worried about Welcome Inn. However, he was wary of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance that owned the inn. After all, he and the Ground Ax Alliance were not a match for the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance at all!
