Chapter 816: Heaven Punishment City
Translator: Sigma Editor: SSins
The Land of God Punishment was a strange place.
Warriors who couldn't find shelter in the Raging Flame Star Area, criminals who committed unspeakable crimes, thugs, thieves, villains, warriors who sought special items for their cultivation, and madmen all liked to visit the Land of God Punishment frequently.
This place gathered the most brutal lunatics of the entire Raging Flame Star Area. It also contained dozens of space pirate gangs. The Land of God Punishment was the biggest market in the Raging Flame Star Area. Rare and precious materials were bountiful in this area.
Materials that the pirates robbed from the other areas in the Raging Flame Star Area would be transported here to trade for things they needed like massive divine crystals and cultivating materials.
Whichever materials the three forces used, people could find them in the Heaven Punishment City. Materials that the three forces didn't have were also plentiful in this city.
The current Land of God Punishment was in the most disorder. But it was also the most enticing area of the Raging Flame Star Area that was managed by the four great leaders of the space pirates.
Feng Ke was one of the four leaders of the pirates. Among the four, he was also the strongest.
Russell managed 'Blue Demon' and 'Bloody Chief Skull'. Barrette managed 'Black Curtain'. Jie Nong controlled 'Blood Rain. These three and Feng Ke were the infamous four leaders of the Land of God Punishment.
The biggest auction house of the Heaven Punishment City, Heaven Punishment Wonderful Items, was also managed by these four.
The Heaven Punishment Wonderful Items was also the biggest Auction House of the entire Raging Flame Star Area. Items put in this auction house all had unclear origins. Usually, they were what the pirates had robbed from the three great forces and other forces around the Raging Flame Star Area. And only Heaven Punishment Wonderful Items dared to auction such rare items.
The Land of God Punishment was a massive abandoned mineral star, which was even larger than the Grace Mainland. The Heaven Punishment City was the only city in the Land of God Punishment. It was much bigger than a normal country. Most places in the Land of God Punishment were used to make hangars for battleships and war chariots. Strong pirate forces had their own territories with preserved resting areas.
The entire Land of God Punishment was divided into different-sized areas, each of which had an owner. Each owner was an expert who had experienced plenty of bloodshed and slaughter and was also recognized by everybody.
Shi Yan stayed by the horizon of the Land of God Punishment to observe this land. He was amazed and his eyes brightened.
At first glance, this giant mineral star had so many abysses where battleships and war chariots were moving to and fro. War chariots often crossed the horizon. Also, some warriors were moving in the sky without the use of any vehicle like Shi Yan.
Those warriors came from different races. Some looked indifferent while others looked brutal and malignant. Some of them grinned and watched others like they were watching their prey. Just like a pack of savage animals, they would attack each other at random times.
"The Land of God Punishment is a lawless place. Outside the Heaven Punishment City, no one cares about your life. There is no negotiation. No time for arguments." Feng Rao seemed to be excited, pointing at the city and explaining, "People who came to buy cultivating materials here were killed right after they got out of the city. See, those thugs wait around the Heaven Punishment City for weaker warriors to ambush. Can you see all of those corpses from different races on the cold ground down there?"
Shi Yan looked as she pointed. His face changed slightly then nodded.
Waiting around the Heaven Punishment City were experts grinning and gazing at their prey. Once they found a target, they would attack immediately, showing no mercy.
By the walls, they could see incomplete corpses or skeletons of beasts, which created a scene similar to Shura Hell.
"The Heaven Punishment City wasn't a safe place until my father, Russell, Barrette, and Jie Nong made rules here. No battle is allowed in the Heaven Punishment City. After that moment, peace was brought there." Feng Rao explained in details. "Anybody who dares to mess around in the Heaven Punishment City will be destroyed by the four forces. After so much bloodshed and deaths, we finally brought order. Fighting is banned in the city, which protects weaker warriors coming here to buy items."
"If weak warriors came to buy items in the Heaven Punishment Wonderful Items, will they ever be able to leave? Do they have to stay here forever?" Shi Yan was surprised.
"Nah, not like that," Feng Rao smiled, "They can spend a large sum to hire guards. My father's Blue Demon and Russell's Bloody Chief Skull can protect and deliver them. Of course, they have to pay a heavy amount of divine crystal as their protection fee. In the Heaven Punishment City, besides the Heaven Punishment Wonderful Items, there are so many shops selling spiritual herbs and wonderful crystals. You can even find slaves, beautiful women, secret scriptures, war chariots and even an entire battleship. Those shops belong to the pirates. They rob and then sell. Some shops are managed by the key personnel of the pirate organization. They sell items of unclear origins. Most of them are stolen goods that are only sold and bought publicly here."
Shi Yan nodded.
When he and Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo split up, he had given him a blue crystal as a trustful token. He told Shi Yan to go to the Heaven Punishment City and find Ka Fu.
Shi Yan guessed that Ka Fu should be a shop owner in the Heaven Punishment City. Ka Tuo probably sold stolen goods to buy battleships and cultivating materials he needed, which would make his force stronger.
"The Heaven Punishment City has dozens of shops managed by pirates. Many leaders of the pirates have the Third Sky of King God Realm cultivation base around the Land of God Punishment. Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo isn't too well known. He's not considered a very dangerous character." Feng Rao smiled, "If you want to find him, it's simple. He has a brother named Ka Fu. His shop is on the East side. Haha, people don't know that Ka Fu is his blood brother, but I know that. That man is too cunning. You should be careful. Don't let these brothers trick you."
"I have a method. Don't worry," Shi Yan beamed a faint smile.
People needed nothing to enter the Heaven Punishment City. They didn't ask to see any token or identity card. All warriors, big or small, from any races could go to the city freely.
Even if you are guilty of many crimes and the three forces are hunting you down with their most talented warriors behind your back, you can still enter the Heaven Punishment City.
The ones with ruthless fame and savage deeds earned greater respect in the Heaven Punishment City.
In the pirates' point of views, only the strong warriors with bloody deeds were the greatest individuals. Weak warriors wouldn't be favored in the Heaven Punishment City. No one would lay an eye on them. That was why Shi Yan's team met no obstacle entering the Heaven Punishment City.
They then saw shops made of strange big rocks packed in the whole city. On the wide streets, warriors were drinking, relaxing, and having fun. There were also many manors with beautiful women who winked at people in revealing garments. Many warriors who passed by those manors were enticed by the beautiful eyes of those women. They didn't want to leave so they roared and yelled, storming into those places.
The pirates lived a life where they drank blood off the blade of their sabers. No one could predict when they would die. So whenever they visited the Heaven Punishment City, they would free themselves, drinking large quantities of alcohol and eating tons of meat. They would stay in a woman's bed for pleasure and forget about everything else. Those shops sold many different kinds of pellets, herbs, crystals, stone, strange metal and wood, divine weapons, maids, and servants. On every street, there were warriors shopping.
Bao Ao, Jie Ji, and Bo Ruo had their eyes brightened seeing the eccentric and prosperous situation of this area. However, they were still bound by the demonic flowers.
The warriors passing by them didn't think this group was strange. They thought that Bao Ao and the other two were medicinal slaves Shi Yan and Feng Rao had captured. They also thought that Shi Yan and Feng Rao were waiting for the demonic flowers to grow and bear fruits so that they could sell the fruits in this Heaven Punishment City.
People in the Heaven Punishment City had seen many things. They weren't surprised or scared by unusual scenes. They didn't bat an eye when looking at Shi Yan's group either.
"You guys, take care. I hope you will be alright when I see you again." Shi Yan suddenly stopped, looking at Bao Ao's team. "I believe you guys will be alright. For the star map I have, Feng Ke won't trouble you. Don't worry."
Bao Ao, Jie Ji, and Bo Ruo nodded. They sighed inwardly but didn't talk more.
"If we're fast enough, they will recover after about ten days to half a month." Feng Rao smiled. "That Original God Realm alchemist will visit the Heaven Punishment City and stay here for a while from time to time. When we arrived here, I found many people gathering at his place. I think he is in the city now. Don't worry. They will recover quickly and get back to their cultivation soon."
That Original God Realm alchemist had also come to the Heaven Punishment City to sell his special pellets and medicines. He also refined some other peculiar pellets for those who could buy at a high price.
Many pellets were mysterious and malevolent. They were banned in other areas. However, everything was fine in this city.
Rumors said that that alchemist was banished because of his studies regarding poisons. That was why he had to go to the Land of God Punishment to continue his cultivation. He needed so many strange and wonderful spiritual herbs as well as special catalysts. Those things needed a lot of money. He had to refine customized pellets to cover the costs.
"That's good then," Shi Yan felt good, smiling. "I just need them to be safe and sound. Then, I will give you the star map. I won't trouble you."
"Okay, I'll take care of them for now. Go first..." Feng Rao's bright eyes studied him for a while. Then, she used her energy to bring the three others towards a place of this city.
Shi Yan stood in the middle of the street where people hurried back and forth. Looking at Feng Rao disappearing into the crowd, he chuckled and changed direction, heading towards Ka Fu's shop.
Warriors weren't allowed to fly in the Heaven Punishment City. It was a strict rule. Since Shi Yan wasn't impatient or rushed so he curiously looked at the shops along the streets as he casually walked.
About one hundred meters behind him stood a warrior with the tattoo of the Bloody Chief Skull pirate. He was hugging a Sea Clan woman, caressing her ample milky breasts with his big hand. His wanton eyes raked around. All of a sudden, he was baffled. Light sparkled in his eyes as he let out a low shout, "Wow! This is unexpected! It's him!"
