Chapter 600: Chapter 293: Desperate for the Soul of Death!_2
If it truly was the Qingdian Clan of the royal family of Panfeng Federation behind the disappearance of the Zhenyan Clan, then the loyalty of generations of the Zhenyan Clan would have been in vain.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
“Greeting to the guest inside, I am the manager of this hotel,”
“May I come in? We would like to check the room and inform you about some new rules of the hotel.”
The moment the knock sounded, Gu Anxing immediately retreated back into the Mechanism Fortress on the back of the Abdominal Territory Worm.
The Abdominal Territory Worm was then quickly drawn back into the Purple Ice Crystal Ring by Fang Mu.
The whole process, as smooth as flowing water, was completed within three seconds.
As Fang Mu was about to stride towards the door, a middle-aged man pushed it directly from the outside.
Behind this man were two elderly men, both exuding their aura as Hexagram Beastmasters unrestrainedly.
It was clear they intended to intimidate those inside the room.
Fang Mu realized the inspection was a method employed by the Qingdian Clan to ascertain if any forces had hidden inside the hotel discreetly.
As the royal family of the Panfeng Federation, even though the strength of the Qingdian Clan may not rival some powers…
However, the Panfeng Federation is protected by the Ten-thousand Nations Federation, so anyone who wanted to harm the Qingdian Clan would have to consider the stance of the Ten-thousand Nations Federation.
The Federation, after all, is home to a top Creation Master and several Advanced Creation Masters.
Among them is a top Creation Master who is about to break through to the state of Grandmaster Creator.
The middle-aged man glanced around the room only seeing Fang Mu, prompting the former to speak politely.
“My apologies for interrupting your rest, guest.”
“Starting from today, our hotel will only accept the Soul of Death for renewing room fees. The Panfeng Currency will not be accepted anymore. We hope you understand.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Mu lifted an eyebrow and asked:
“Is your hotel trying to drive guests away?”
“We can just live in another hotel then!”
While his words seemed like a complaint, there was a certain probing gaze within Fang Mu’s eyes as he spoke.
Does the Qingdian Clan so desperately want the Soul of Death?!
Not only does it collect the soul upon entering the city, but it also does the same for guests at the hotel.
Substituting Panfeng Currency with the Soul of Death does, to some extent, devalue the currency and diminish the Federation’s faith in it.
Still, choosing to go this way undoubtedly hides a deeper issue.
Since this hotel has implemented this new rule, chances are other hotels in Rock Peak City have done the same.
The middle-aged man seemed mildly displeased upon hearing Fang Mu’s words, but he patiently explained.
“Our hotel has no intention of driving away guests. You will find the same situation in other hotels.”
“Acquiring the Soul of Death should be effortless for you. This rule is considered for your convenience as our guest.”
“You should know the current situation faced by the Panfeng Federation. We do all this so we can hope you would help reduce the number of deceased souls. We hope you understand.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Mu raised the corner of his mouth.
“In that case, when we renew our room, we’ll use the Soul of Death. Thanks for notifying us.”
“Next time you enter my room, remember to wait for me to open the door after knocking first, otherwise I won’t be polite.”
“Keep in mind, it was you who first violated my private space, and even if I did something to you, the Panfeng Federation would not dare take issue with it.”
The words from Fang Mu stirred anger in the two old men behind the middle-aged man. The self-proclaimed manager of the hotel quickly apologized.
“My apologies for my rudeness.”
“We’ll wait for the person inside to open the door next time.”
The middle-aged man had noticed the Purple Ice Crystal Ring on Fang Mu’s hand as soon as they entered the room.
Although the man before him appeared ordinary, an aura of unmatched elegance and nobility exuded from him.
This kind of aura was something only those from powerful clans could cultivate.
As the manager of a hotel, he dared not offend people wearing Sequential Spiritual Instruments lightly.
If it weren’t for the order from higher-ups to inspect all hotel guests, the middle-aged man wouldn’t dare do such a thing.
After finishing his words, the middle-aged man and the two elder men behind him quickly left the room.
Fang Mu subconsciously scratched his chin, falling into deep thought.
The hotel manager had lied.
If the Panfeng Federation genuinely wanted to reduce the number of deceased souls, they could have initiated an event.
For example, they could promise free stays for guests who exterminated fifty thousand souls rather than deliberately collecting Souls of Death!
Fang Mu had initially planned to trade Souls of Death with the Panfeng Federation, but it seemed unlikely now.
Once the officials of the Panfeng Federation realized Fang Mu’s need for Souls of Death, they would keep a close eye on him.
What Fang Mu needed most before exploring the ancient battlefield was to maintain a low profile.
He decided to wait until the exploration of the ancient battlefield was complete, and he’d obtained the items he wanted from the ancient books.
Only then would he figure out what the Qingdian Clan retrieved from the ancient battlefield and why the Clan so desperately needed the Souls of Death!
Even if an opportunity was handed to somebody, it wouldn’t be truly theirs. Just like Fang Mu, who always carefully hid his secret.
Fearing that others might learn of it and harbor ulterior motives against him.
