Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 371: Low Gold City (1)

As the martial world was losing their minds over Dyon’s achievements, Dyon himself had already gotten to work once more.

The first thing he did was purge Low Enigmatic City of Enigmatic Sect influences. Though this might seem simple with the protection he received, it was actually more complex than one might expect.

Low enigmatic city wasn’t just a territory, it functioned as its own nation of sorts, a nation crafted for and by celestials. Many had no hope of reaching the dao realm at all and instead settled to spend their 10 000 years of life in leisure. As a result, this city and others like it were hubs of entertainment as much as they were strongholds.

The enigmatic sect took advantage of this to contract many businesses under them. And, obviously, even with Dyon’s interference, these businesses were still being controlled by the enigmatic sect. Considering the binding nature of martial world contracts, it was no simple task to pull them out from under their thumb.

Dyon had three choices. The first was to pay an exorbitant sum to prematurely terminate the contracts of these business owners. The second was to allow them to remain under contract. And the third was to force them to leave the city.

Obviously, the first was too wasteful. How could Dyon spend such an ungodly amount of dao stones on such a venture. The second was even more impossible because that would be akin to Dyon running the enigmatic sect’s city, all for them to gain profits while he gained nothing. As for the last option, it seemed like the most viable. But, it would also gut the city of everything that drew people to it.

Though some used low enigmatic city as a break from danger zones that were nearby, most didn’t care for training and putting their lives on the line in such a fashion. Those individuals would choose to leave entirely if Dyon chose the third option.

Plus, even if Dyon bit the bullet and went with the third option, he wouldn’t have enough people to keep the city functioning properly. After all, only 3000 or so of his Mortal Alliance had stepped onto this floor, compared to others who had millions of individuals, it was far too lacking.

Luckily, Dyon found a hidden fourth option. After pouring over their contracts, most of these business owners were tied to Low Enigmatic City.

This stipulation made sense. After all, if you contracted a business, but they left to take their services elsewhere, although you would still receive some of their profits, your city would lose some of its stature. The whole appeal of having businesses attached to Low Enigmatic City was so that visitors could feel as though they had everything they could possibly want at their fingertips.

Clearly, the problem with this was obvious. There was no such thing as low enigmatic city anymore!

Using this loophole, Dyon changed the name of Low Enigmatic City to Low Sacharro City. Instantly, more than 70% of the contracts were completely voided.

Of course, these contracts were tied to lesser businesses that the enigmatic sect gave generic contracts to. These were businesses they could afford to lose without blinking an eye. However, there was a smaller 20-30% number that the enigmatic sect used unique contracts for, unique contracts that had far stricter wordings.

Dyon had no choice but to let these businesses go, kicking them out of Low Sacharro City entirely. However, this had saved him trouble. Although many of the more popular businesses were gone, it wasn’t to the point where the city was gutted.

With this done, Dyon immediately got to work filling in the void those businesses left.

First he established the second branch of the Sacharro Pill Pavilion. This was a shop identical to what could be found on the saint floors. Considering the popularity it had already garnered there, this filled much of the void that was missing.

Second, he contacted Madeleine. This wife of his had stepped onto the celestial floors long ago. In fact, she had already entered the middle tier just recently. With her help, the Flaming Lily Sect had gained a sizeable reward since she was now the golden flame quadrant’s key wielder.

As a female only Sect, the Flaming Lily Sect controlled many entertainment businesses of their own, namely, the famous Violet’s Bloom Pavilion! This was a place where a collection of talented women sold their companionship. Whether it be a game of Go, or simply some lovely playing of the lyre, cultured men and women loved to take part in their entertainment.

[Author’s Note: Violet’s Bloom Pavilion was mentioned very briefly a few hundred chapters ago. Don’t ask me when, I don’t remember, lmao. I just know that it was in my notes <3]

Obviously, the celestial tiers only had one Violet’s Bloom Pavilion per tier. This led to those who wanted to partake having no choice but to go to Flaming Lily Sect Strongholds to enjoy this high-class entertainment.

However, as the husband of their key wielder, Dyon had special privileges others didn’t. Therefore, for the first time ever, Violet’s Bloom Pavilion would be coming to a city not owned by the Flaming Lily Sect. And, rumors had it, that the Leading Mistress would be the famous Legatee, Empress Yandevere!

Just like that, those who had been wondering if it was even worth staying in Low Sacharro City did a complete 180. No matter what, they had to be there for opening day!

As for who would be designing the Pavilion? Who better than Meiying?!
