After Jiang Ming recovered from his surprise, he smiled and said, "We need lodging."
"Alright! Please come in! Sir, you have a good eye. We're the number one branch of the Dragon's Gate Inn chain. As long as you stay in our inn, you'll be able to live in a place that's as good as any cultivation holy land. You can also eat to your heart's content. Most importantly, your safety will be guaranteed."
The employee happily explained to them. Finally, he lowered his voice and rubbed his fingers together.
"As long as this is in place."
Jiang Ming's eyebrows jumped. He could not help but feel a little amused as he took out a banknote.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there was an organization similar to regular banks called the Bank of the Universe. No one knew who created it, but it was powerful, and no one dared to cause trouble for them.
Almost all cultivators with some strength and foundation would hide their things in it. Once they died, they could pass it on to the next generation. Otherwise, once they were intercepted, everything would fall into the enemy's hands.
But in the Bank of the Universe, they did not have to worry about this.
"Silver notes are easy to steal, so the Bank of the Universe created something similar to a bank card that requires a password to use. This guarantees the safety of one's money. The most important thing is that everyone who leaves money in the Bank of the Universe will leave behind a True Fire. Once they die, the True Fire will dissipate, and the banknotes will be useless. The money will be passed down to the designated heir. I suspect that the master of the Bank of the Universe came from my planet. Otherwise, isn't this way too advanced?" Jiang Ming thought to himself.
When the employee saw the Bank of the Universe's silver, his eyes lit up.
Another big shot had come!
Wait!
He was essentially a God!
To be able to save money in the Bank of the Universe meant that he definitely had a lot of treasures and spirit stones. He was definitely a tycoon. This made the employee's attitude become more respectful.
"What do you need to eat? We have everything here. There's nothing we can't make."
The corners of Jiang Ming's mouth twitched again. This employee was really eloquent. He immediately ordered a few dishes and then asked in a low voice, "Do you have any information about Dragon's Gate Town and the Long family's territory?"
The Long family's territory?
The employee was stunned but quickly reacted.
"Sir, you should be referring to all the information within the Dragon Marquis Kingdom, right?"
Dragon Marquis Kingdom?
Jiang Ming was stunned. When did another kingdom appear?
Seeing Jiang Ming's confusion, the employee laughed and said, "It's expected that you won't know about this. Before this, we weren't considered the Dragon Marquis Kingdom. Normally, we were just a large territory, but the Long family was the leader. But just a month ago, the Qing royal family was honored by a decree from the Qing emperor. The head of the Long family officially became the Dragon Marquis, one of the Qing vassals, and officially established the Dragon Marquis Kingdom. It is also the second vassal kingdom in the Qing Kingdom after the Battle Marquis Kingdom."
A second vassal kingdom?
The Long family had actually evolved into a vassal kingdom under the Qing royal family?
Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed. If it was any other family, it would be normal, but it just had to be the Long family. This was extremely strange. In a sense, the Long family and the Qing royal family were mortal enemies!
Just as Jiang Ming was full of doubts, a discordant voice was heard.
"What Dragon Marquis? What Dragon Marquis Kingdom? They're just pieces of trash scurrying to be useful. If it wasn't for the Battle Marquis Kingdom becoming stronger and making the Qing royal family wary, the Qing royal family wouldn't have supported the Dragon Marquis Kingdom. And you're so smug. Little do you know that you're a pawn in the hands of the Qing royal family. No, to be precise, you're a slave. You're still so happy being someone else's slave. I wonder what goes through the heads of the people of the Dragon Marquis Kingdom. Hahahaha!"
Wanton laughter soon filled the entire inn, causing many people to look at each other.
The ones who spoke were a group of rugged-looking people. Each of them walked in with a large blade in their hands, and their faces were filled with arrogance.
It was obvious that these men looked down on the Dragon Marquis Kingdom. The foreigners did not mind, but some of the people from the Dragon Marquis Kingdom could not stand it.
"How presumptuous! Who are you? How dare you mock the Dragon Marquis Kingdom and show such disrespect to Lord Long?!"
A cultivator from the Dragon Marquis Kingdom stood up and shouted.
The others also stood up and stared at them with unfriendly expressions.
Zhu An'an furrowed her brows and seemed a little apprehensive.
It was not easy for them to find a place to rest. Alas, they had been disturbed by this group.
It was also at this moment that Zhu An'an suddenly opened her mouth and glanced at the other side. A cold and stern expression gradually surfaced in her eyes.
"Mr. Ning, there is another force coming. Adding the two parties here, there are three parties… There is probably going to be a lot of chaos here."
Jiang Ming nodded in agreement. Anyone could see that something was wrong here, but he was not in the mood to sort it out at all. He continued to have his meal. Anyway, there was some distance between them and the dispute. No matter how noisy it was, it would not affect him.
"If it really becomes chaotic, it can only mean that the owner of this inn is nothing special. It also means that the Dragon Marquis Kingdom's strength is not worth mentioning."
Jiang Ming thought to himself. At the same time, he was curious. Where did this group of rebels come from?
"Are they from the Battle Marquis Kingdom? Or are they from a different place? Normal forces wouldn't have the guts to do something like this. There must be a force behind this that isn't weaker than the Dragon Marquis Kingdom."
Just as Jiang Ming was thinking about it, there was a commotion in the distance. A huge wave of mana blasted out and turned into a blade of light. It cut off the head of a cultivator and shook the entire inn.
"Damn it, you actually hurt one of us. You're courting death!"
The foreigners were furious, and they rushed forward to fight with these people.
The employee, who was in charge of guiding Jiang Ming and Zhu An'an to their rooms, also rushed up. There were other employees as well. They were in the Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm. None of them were in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"There are not many people here. They are mostly in the Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm. However, in the Feather Kingdom, their power alone is enough to establish a small force. In fact, it is only one or two levels lower than a blessed land in terms of power. However, in this place, they are just minor employees. It seems that the Dragon Marquis Kingdom's foundation is not weak, it's likely to be much stronger than the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven."
Just as Jiang Ming was about to leave, a person rushed toward him. It was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Why was he targeting him?
