King of Creation

Chapter 703: Chapter 694: Night Hunting

Qingshui Pier is an inland river dock, conveniently situated at the junction with another major inland river within the True Spirit Domain, the Dongping River. This strategic location has led to the prosperity of Qinghe Martial City, and has rendered both the large and small docks bustling with activity.

Among them, Pingqing Dock is the largest dock in Qinghe Martial City, controlled by a subdivision of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect established here. The Qingshui Pier, which Ye Zhen was now observing, is several times smaller than Pingqing Dock, yet the traffic of cargo ships coming and going was still unending.

Despite being several times smaller, the warehouses were very numerous!

Thus, Qingshui Pier was also a treasure basin, especially for private individuals to whom it brought a colossal accumulation of wealth.

Even if it was two to three times smaller in scale than Pingqing Dock, just the daily revenue from ships entering and leaving the dock could reach tens of thousands of Low Grade Spirit Crystals, let alone the numerous large and small merchandise transactions that could easily amount to several hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals a day.

Converted to Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, that would still be several thousand a day, adding up to nearly a million Mid-grade Spirit Crystals in annual income, truly a modest-sounding but substantial treasure basin.

However, the martial artist controlling this treasure basin was a rather unknown Vein Forging Realm Sixth Stage martial artist named Zhu Zhong, with quite ordinary strength.

And yet such a martial artist had controlled Qingshui Pier for decades. Over the years, many forces had set their sights on it, including attempts by the Longevity Sect to occupy the dock, all unsuccessful.

Every time it mattered, it would receive support from Qinghe Martial City’s subdivision of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.

However, on ordinary days, it did not show the slightest deference to the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s Qinghe branch, which left many people baffled.

Ye Zhen, however, knew the reason behind this.

Because this dock was the private property of Zhu Ling, the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!

It was, in essence, Zhu Ling’s private property acquired through wielding his internal powers within the sect while also being a vital stronghold of the forces under Zhu Ling’s command.
