Chapter 394: Coming Down Again to Visit the Human World

The four immortals once again came out of the South Heaven Gate and descended from the clouds, and their first stop was still the Liberty City at the foot of Mount Li.

This emerging city was originally called Lintong in history. It is located on the south side of Mount Li and overlooks the Wei River in the north. It is an administrative district under the jurisdiction of Xi'an.

Tang Monk set out from Chang'an City to seek Buddhist scriptures. His first stop was Lintong, and he headed westward.

Wen Rui led the three immortals to set off from the west gate of Liberty City, flying on the clouds and heading west along the path that Tang Monk took to obtain Buddhist scriptures in later generations.

The reason why Liberty City was chosen as the starting point of the search was that Wen Rui wanted to further test whether the time-travel camera could still be used. If it could directly capture past scenes, it would be much more convenient than asking around and investigating.

However, even though the correct time point was chosen to go back, the captured image was severely distorted, with the screen full of snowflakes and even the outlines indistinguishable.

Wen Rui has always felt quite superior in terms of intelligence with his level five intelligence, but now he feels a sense of loss. After all, level five intelligence is only level five, and compared with Lao Rui's level ten intelligence, he is still like a mentally retarded person.

If it were Lao Rui, he would just take out a screwdriver and twist it a few times to complete the anti-interference function upgrade of the time-travel camera and capture the true face of the hiding guy.

During the flight, Wen Rui tried many times but to no avail, and was unable to capture a clear picture, so he finally gave up.

The speed at which the four gods ride on the clouds is much faster than when Tang Monk rode a horse. Even at an ordinary cruising speed, it is easy for them to fly three to five thousand miles in an hour.

But under the leadership of Wen Rui, the team deliberately reduced their speed to less than one thousand miles per hour, releasing their divine thoughts to scan while flying.

Obviously, the team entered the search mode. Although they knew that the chances of finding the Seven Fairies were slim, why not give it a try? What if a blind cat meets a dead mouse?

Soon the team arrived at Qinzhou, the border city between Qin and Quanrong. Wen Rui waved his hand and led the team down from the clouds.

The other three immortals were confused. As Wen Rui fell from the clouds, a cloud of white smoke rose when he landed. Several of them performed transformation techniques and turned into mortal humans.

"Change in a low-key way." Wen Rui looked at the three people's transformed images and frowned, saying, "This place is remote, and there are not many people who are dressed in fancy clothes visiting."

Princess Longji had originally transformed into an image of a female general in military uniform. Upon hearing what Rui said, she used her magic to transform herself into a maid with dark skin, linen clothes, and rough hands and feet.

Taibai Jinxing turned into an old Taoist priest wearing a tattered Taoist robe and a hairpin made of dead branches.

Nezha turned into a pretty young girl in her teens.

Including Wen Rui, several people cast puzzled looks at it. Nezha noticed the strangeness of the crowd, but he said confidently: "What's wrong? When I use the transformation technique to hide my tracks, shouldn't there be a sense of contrast? With this appearance, who can recognize that I am the most powerful general in heaven?"

Wen Rui gave it a thumbs up and controlled the nanorobots to disguise himself, directly changing into Teacher Tony's skin, showing the handsome image of a playboy, a shrewd businessman and an inventive genius.

The other three people except Wen Rui all looked at him in confusion. Wen Rui also said confidently: "I am also for the investigation. Isn't the suspect shown in this image? I have changed into this image, so I don't have to go through the trouble of drawing the shadow diagram."

The four of them exchanged statements, and after the change, everyone's way of addressing them had to change accordingly to avoid revealing their whereabouts.

Wen Rui was to be called Boss Wen, Long Ji was to be called Sister Ji, Taibai Jinxing was to be called Taoist Li, and Nezha was to be called Third Sister Li. After they agreed on the titles, they followed the flow of people entering the city to the gate of Qinzhou City.

Qinzhou is an important place on the border of the Qin Dynasty, and is responsible for defending against the invasion of the Quanrong. The city gate is heavily guarded, and two teams of soldiers strictly check travelers entering the city.

Wen Rui led the three of them and walked over. The Qin army captain who was checking at the door came forward and asked sternly, "Stop, do you have a pass?"

Taibai Jinxing was about to show his familiarity with the mortal world and step forward to cast a spell to make the mortal captain obey his orders, but Wen Rui took the lead and took out a jade-like sign from his bag. While showing it, he said, "I am a member of the Chamber of Commerce. This is my Chamber of Commerce membership card. These few are with me."

The tone was very tough, and it was totally unlike the attitude a businessman should have when encountering a soldier.

But the captain immediately became respectful and quickly stepped aside, not daring to be negligent, and said with a smile: "So you are the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, welcome to Qinzhou."

Wen Rui casually took out a stack of credit coins, patted the captain's hand, and said calmly: "Brother, please have some tea."

"Boss, you are so generous!" The lieutenant immediately put on a flattering smile: "Thank you for the reward, boss."

The Chamber of Commerce has been doing business in the mortal world for so long, how could the soldiers under the command of the princes not know that its power has surpassed the world? Any city under the rule of a prince who dares to offend the Chamber of Commerce will pay the price of a comprehensive material blockade and economic sanctions.

Without any effort, the Chamber of Commerce could make a prosperous city decline into depression in just a few years, and eventually the people in the city and the soldiers defending the city would not even have enough food to eat or clothes to wear.

The membership card of a formal member of the Chamber of Commerce is a universal pass to travel among all the major forces in the mortal world, and no one dares to stop the merchants.

Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce had little interest in territory and legal system, and never interfered in the internal affairs of the feudal states. It only advocated fair trade and free trade. The princes of the feudal states of the Western Zhou Dynasty gradually accepted the existence of this mysterious force.

There were also lords and princes who were foolish enough to think that they had strong military forces and could use force and power to take over the Chamber of Commerce for their own use.

The Chamber of Commerce will not resort to force or flex its muscles against lords who have misjudged the situation, but will still use the old method of economic blockade, withdraw all merchants from the country, cut off all trade routes of the country, and sell weapons and horses to its neighboring countries at low prices.

After a series of combined punches, strong countries become weak countries, big countries become small countries, and small countries are directly annexed by neighboring countries.

Wen Rui has long possessed the power to sweep across all dynasties in the human world. His Ultron robot army can easily defeat modern armies, let alone the ancient soldiers from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

But this world has its own destiny, luck, and national destiny. The Western Zhou Dynasty has not yet run out of luck. If a change of dynasty is forced, it will surely cause dissatisfaction among the gods and Buddhas.

Even a saint has to follow this rule. Goddess Nuwa was angry at Emperor Xin's behavior, so she could only send the three monsters from Xuanyuan Tomb to ruin the fortune of the Shang Dynasty so that she could get rid of him as soon as possible.

Therefore, although the Chamber of Commerce has actually secretly achieved control of the world, it still hides behind the scenes, presenting a harmless image of being only interested in making money and having no interest in magical weapons.

After entering Qinzhou City, Longji, Taibai and Nezha finally saw the true appearance of the human world in their original time and space. The city was filled with dust, the dirt roads were bumpy and covered with animal excrement, and the residents had dark complexions and wore tattered clothes.

It's completely different from Liberty City.
