Chapter 192 Infiltrating the Purple Flame City Lord's Mansion!
Purple Flame World City.
As the center of an area spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, the entire city is so vast that it is incomparable to any territory's main city. The entire world city alone is larger than the entire land area of the Earth.
As the name suggests, the Purple Flame Pavilion is undoubtedly backed by the city lord of this world city, otherwise it would not be named "Purple Flame".
At this moment, Zhou Ze was sitting in this most luxurious accommodation, listening to music in the brothel. Although it was not as good as the songs in the universe, it still had its own unique charm.
As the most luxurious accommodation, although it is called a place of lodging, it is actually a place that integrates various entertainment venues.
Those who can live here, or play here, are either very capable or have extraordinary backgrounds; they are either rich or noble.
In the Blood Luo world, all coins are shaped like knife coins, ranging from low to high value: small red knife coins (small money), medium black knife coins (medium money), large green knife coins (large money), and the most valuable purple knife coins (treasure money).
The conversion unit is 1000. That is, 1 Baoqian is worth 1000 Daqian, 1000,000 Zhongqian, and 1000,000,000.
Small amount of money.
The most luxurious room requires 10 purple knife coins, which is equivalent to 10 treasure coins.
This shows how outrageous the prices are here. You should know that in other territories' main cities, the best rooms are usually priced at 10 treasure coins per night. Even the big families in other territories' main cities would find it difficult to afford such expensive prices.
It's fair to say that every night's spending involved real money.
However, this was nothing to Zhou Ze. First of all, the money wasn't his own, and in the universe, sometimes a bottle of wine could cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of Hunyuan units, or even more expensive ones.
Zhou Ze glanced around briefly, taking in the surroundings and the young girl on stage, dressed scantily with her fair skin barely visible.
In the past, he would definitely have enjoyed it. After all, he had cultivated for so long, shouldn't he be able to enjoy himself a little?
But now his mind is completely focused on the Blood Crystal, and he has no interest in anything else.
The Purple Flame Pavilion was just a temporary stop for him, and he was also thinking about how to obtain the Blood Crystal.
As a world city, Purple Flame City is full of powerful people, and there should be quite a few people who possess Blood Crystals. However, judging from Ba Qi's various aspects in the original work, even as a peerless genius who appears only once every billion years in the Immortal Temple, he has very few Blood Crystals.
Based on the memories of the five people whose souls were just searched, even in each world city, the Immortal Temple only occasionally issues one Blood Crystal. Apart from the Immortal Temple, no other force or individual can manufacture Blood Crystals.
"I can't become a hunter like Luo Feng, that would be too troublesome. Besides, I don't have a clone, and I don't have the Demon Slayer Clan to change my aura at any time, so I would be easily discovered."
Zhou Ze thought to himself silently.
He recalled that at this stage in the original story, Luo Feng was very wary of having his extraterrestrial identity discovered, constantly mentioning that once discovered, he would have no choice but to leave the Blood Luo Continent. He also remembered that the information he had gathered before coming here also contained such a hint: "The Immortal Temple should have some means to immediately identify extraterrestrial visitors—"
Zhou Ze stroked his chin, staring at the stage. At that moment, a dignified and beautiful woman walked over and said with a smile:
"Honorable guest, have you taken a fancy to Xiaoqian?"
Zhou Ze snapped out of his daze, glanced at the beautiful woman, and shook his head slightly: "Go ahead and do your thing. I'll let you know if I need anything."
"Yes, esteemed guest—" the beautiful woman replied with a slight smile, and then left without lingering.
Those who come here for entertainment are rarely lone wolves; most come with family and friends. People like Zhou Ze, who stay alone, are quite rare. "Congratulations, Brother Ron! Your child has been chosen by the Temple of Immortality; his future is destined to be extraordinary—"
"Brother, I'm planning to venture into the Blood Demon Sea—"
"The Blood Demon Sea? That place is no safe haven; it's far more dangerous than the Ancient God Ruins and the Forbidden Mountain Range!"
"There's no way around it. For ordinary people like us, without any background, obtaining Blood Crystals is extremely difficult. But it's different in the Blood Demon Sea—"
Blood Demon Sea?
Zhou Ze secretly memorized it. The five people from before also remembered the name Blood Demon Sea, but it was a forbidden area, inspiring fear in those who looked upon it.
There's no specific description, but it seems the Blood Demon Sea doesn't produce Blood Crystals—
Rumor has it that once you go in, you'll never come out again. "I need more information, and the city lord's library must contain a lot of information."
Those five people were only at the cosmic level, and they only knew the general outline of many things, but not the specific details.
"The city lord's mansion is heavily guarded. Even if I used the same mind-control technique as Luo Feng to sneak in, it would be difficult to avoid being discovered. Once discovered, I would still have to leave. But it's still worth it—"
Zhou Ze was different from others; he valued the information recorded in those books the most.
"The Blood Luo Continent is vast and boundless, with countless worlds controlled by individual World Lords. There are tens of millions of world cities within the entire Blood Luo Continent, so causing trouble for one would hardly make a ripple—"
"But there's no rush—"

The more critical the moment, the calmer Zhou Ze became, even though his strength was enough to overwhelm the City Lord's Mansion.
He spent several days in Purple Flame City, trying to integrate himself into the community. He also visited various bookstores in World City, reading many books about various aspects of the Blood Luo Continent to learn about all aspects of the information.
However, these books basically only record ordinary information. Forbidden places such as the Ancient God Ruins, the Blood Demon Sea, and the Forbidden Mountain Range are only described in general terms, and some specific information is completely missing.
Another day has passed.
As night falls, Purple Flame City, as a world city, is the center of hundreds of millions of kilometers in radius, the absolute overlord, and naturally there is no curfew.
Moreover, for cultivators, even apprentice-level cultivators can sometimes go one or two weeks without sleep and still maintain their energy, not to mention that in this World City, there are quite a few cosmic-level and domain lord-level cultivators.
Zhou Ze arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, whose gates were wide open. As the residence of the ruler of this area spanning hundreds of millions of square kilometers, the City Lord's Mansion was almost never closed.
"I am an old friend of the City Lord of Purple Flame, and I have come to pay my respects. Please lead me inside—"
Zhou Ze walked straight forward, speaking as he used a mind-controlling technique.
"Yes, honored guest, I will take you there immediately." The middle-aged man guarding the gate immediately bowed respectfully, as did the other guards, who were clearly all under Zhou Ze's control using secret techniques.
Led by the middle-aged man, Zhou Ze flew quickly inside.
Purple Flame City is larger than Earth. As the city lord's mansion, the center of Purple Flame City covers an area larger than China on Earth.
Zhou Ze followed the middle-aged man, flying low in one direction without encountering anything unusual. It seemed the middle-aged man was of high status.
With him leading the way, no one stopped them.
Soon, the inner palace, which had been faintly visible in the distance, became clear. Zhou Ze secretly made preparations, ready to take down the city lord and everyone present in one fell swoop.
However, something that Zhou Ze could never have imagined happened—
Suddenly, the sky was filled with a powerful pressure. Two beams of light, one red and one blue, chased each other one after another. The entire sky seemed to be split in two, one half dyed fiery red and the other half dyed aquamarine!
