Thunder Fortress.

There was a place in the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower that could induce fear in a person just by hearing its name— the Thunder Fortress.

Despite its name, it was not a castle or fortress, but a kingdom.

More accurately speaking, it was a robbers' den.

Rumor has it that in the whole of Tong Tian Tower, a unique type of 'Thunder Ore' could only be found there, hence, the adventurers who camped there in the early days named it the Thunder Fortress. Of course, there was another version saying that as the surname of the adventurers' leader was Lei, he named the place the Thunder Fortress, and the ore indigenous to the Thunder Fortress as the 'Thunder Ore'.

(want2eat: Lei is thunder in Chinese)

Whatever the truth was, people didn't really care.

Also, as the Thunder Fortress had been dominated by the Dragon Hunters for thousands of years, it became a restricted ground for normal adventurers.

Those who could make it into the Thunder Fortress, other than malicious robbers or bandits, only merchants could pass through. Anything associated with friendliness, justice or kindness had long gone extinct over here. Combats, fights and death could occur any moment...

The king who reigned over the Thunder Fortress was Chong Ni, who was ranked eighth on the Bloody Villain List.

He was a Level Eight Innate with supreme powers that could move mountains, a force where nobody could match up their power to. He was also a serial killer who had killed over forty thousand Rankers in the past 600 years.

Forget about Chong Ni, his three followers—Demon Eye, Mountain Elf and Blood River, were all serial killers in top hundred of the Bloody Villain List.

(Shiro: Would you guys rather Demon Eye, Mountain Demon and Blood River or Yao Tong, Shan Xiao and Xue He? These were names, so it should be the latter, but a lot of readers said that Chinese names were confusing)

Due to the unique terrain of the Thunder Fortress and the powerful Chong Ni who ruled over the place, it was therefore no wonder that the Warrior Guild couldn't do anything. Even the Innate Alliance turned a blind eye to them. In Tong Tian Tower, there were a lot of people who was just like Chong Ni. They couldn't maintain their self-conscience after the possessing power, subsequently turning into a dictator. In the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower, there were more than a thousand who were villains just like Chong Ni, but as the Thunder Fortress was the most infamous one, Chong Ni could be considered to be the leader of all villains.

How could there be a Ranker who didn't have their own territory in the Tong Tian Tower?

Only the weaklings don't have their own territories.

The Great Emperor of Zhi Wei, Shun Tian, for example, he possessed several palaces in the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower. He even possessed a Sky Emperor Divine Palace in the Seventh Floor of Tong Tian Tower, where he ruled over the whole rich territory that seemed to be as vast as the Dragon Soaring Continent.

This was an embodiment of his power.

Yue Yang was heading towards the Thunder Fortress, the place where he could unleash his powers without any restrictions.

He first teleported to the Yellow Goat Hills, the only place that allowed access to public. Then, he subsequently made his way to the outpost station of the Thunder Fortress, the ancient town of Yellow Goat. Although this was a town, it was much bigger than White Stone City and was bustling with excitement and activity. Countless merchants traded here, trading various life supplies including food, water, meat and other products such as wine, salt, sugar, as well as gold, silver, copper, iron and other metals. There was even countless slaves from different tribes on sale, including humans. However, most slaves were Beastmen or Half Beastmen who were physically stronger.

The merchants here were generally weaker, almost everyone were either Level 4 Champions or even Level 3 Hero. At the most, they were Level 5 Grandmasters, and very few of them were Level 6 Elders.

Although they were weak, they were safe.

Apart from the unwritten rule that forbid the killing of merchants, they also carry badges from the different Merchant Guilds they belonged to, and this helped to keep them safe. For example, for merchants who represented Shun Tian's Sky Emperor Divine Palace Merchant Guild, even if they looked as weak as a chick, no one would dare to touch Shun Tian's property.

Power ruled over everything here. As long as one had enough power, he would be granted access to anywhere.

As Yue Yang strolled along the streets of the ancient town of Yellow Goat, he felt sentimental as he looked at the bustling trading zone.

As extreme as it may sound, immorality certainly nurture business faster.

Being profit maximizing, merchants did not care about justice. They used extreme tactics to earn more money. For example, slaves trading was an extremely profitable industry...

"Do you need a female slave? She's a Half Elf with an exotic look and a hot body. A single taste of her would definitely drive you crazy!" More than one merchant attempted to promote their slaves to Yue Yang. In the ancient town of Yellow Goat, slaves were just normal trading goods which were a tad more expensive than the others. For example, the Half Elf that was offered to Yue Yang just now cost 3000 gold. As long as one was willing to pay 3000 gold and a tax of 500, one could have bought the female slave and do whatever they want with her. This included abusing and killing her. To put it bluntly, her whole life belongs to the person who paid for her.

If one thought that it was too expensive, they can opt for cheaper female slaves for a price ranging from ten gold to more than a hundred gold.
