Chapter 620: Spirit Domain Inn
Darkness came quickly along with the breezes in the mountain range. One could hear the awe-inspiring roars from the beasts in the distant.
While crossing a narrow path between two cliffs, one could see a huge beast skeleton chained on one side. Its head was as big as a room. Bone flames were still burning and emitting a terrifying aura. This must be the corpse of a millennium spirit beast that has been burning for several hundred years.
Far ahead was the glow of bonfires.
The vacant plain was filled with numerous tents, traders with flamboyant clothes, cultivators from famous sects, and a few powerful lone wolves.
Some of the tents had the insignia of a trading company with guards nearby.
The ones who traded at the pass have also re-located here. Unfortunately, they couldn’t stay near the center with the tents and had to be content with just sitting on the ground.
Feiyun was surprised and asked: “Why don’t they set up shops here instead of running to Jiang Pass?”
“Trading under the table at the inn is punishable. A light sentence will end with their hands being chopped off; a serious sentence consists of being thrown into a serpent pit.” The old man answered.
Feiyun agreed with this answer. This inn is a place of business. Gaining protection is one thing but if people dare to steal their profit in any manner, that’s just suicidal.
A few Jiangs spent the night here as well. After a quick observation, there must have been more than ten thousand people here.
The inn was large but it couldn’t accommodate so many people. Only influential and important characters could enter. The rest could only rent a tiny piece of land to stay overnight.
Of course, it wasn’t cheap either. Each square meter required ten gold coins - enough expenses for an ordinary person to last ten years. This was only the price for the outside spots. The closer it was to the central inn, the more expensive.
