1921 Chapter 1921-predicament
A sense of powerlessness welled up in Jia Rong’s heart, and fatigue was almost written on his face. He waved his hand and said, ” you can all leave. The reduction of the trade difference can’t be solved in the short term. We can’t just blindly lock the city down. We have to find a new source of spiritual energy.”
Everyone understood this principle. The accumulation of spiritual energy was like wealth. It needed to increase production and reduce expenditure. More importantly, it was to increase income. It was useless to just rely on saving.
But how could he open an open source Kasaya without a source?
If there had been a source opening, it would have opened long ago, and the southern mountain range would not have become a place where even birds would not take a shit.
The strange phenomenon and the subsequent surge of spirit Qi had almost become Yanwu’s only hope. However, the results of the investigation, which had cost a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources, were disappointing.
“Yes, Your Excellency. Please rest well.”
The few alchemists could also see that Jia Rong was in a bad mood, so they did not dare to stay any longer and left one after another.
“Bang!”
Jia Rong was lost in his thoughts when a glass cup placed on the table in front of him suddenly exploded, spilling the tea all over the table.
Not only that, he could clearly feel the ground shaking, and a few murals on the wall fell.
Then, there were all kinds of noises outside. earthquake “, ” who’s causing trouble “, ” oh no, maybe my husband is back. Hurry, hurry and put on your pants ”
All the sounds within the vicinity flowed into Jia Rong’s ears, and he heard them clearly. As the astrology tower was the tallest building in Yanwu, the earthquake just now was even more intense.
In the southwest of Yanwu, a colorful light spread from the sky, illuminating the entire distant sky. All the voices around fell silent, and everyone looked up.
“Strange phenomenon!”
Jia Rong trembled and then became overjoyed. it’s that strange phenomenon again! Yanwu is saved!”
He ran down the stairs and hurriedly drove the chariot to the city Lord’s mansion.
That day, the entire city of Yanwu was talking about this matter, and everyone in the city Lord’s mansion was looking forward to it, hoping that it would bring a large amount of spirit Qi like last time.
Many martial artists and sects once again gathered their martial artists and prepared to head to the place where the colorful light had appeared to investigate.
The city Lord’s mansion was also busy. Li Chunyang immediately gathered everyone to discuss the cause of the earthquake and the phenomenon, and at the same time, they were ready to set off. After all, this was related to the fate of Yanwu.
A few hours later, a bolt of lightning flew over from the distance and landed directly outside the city, turning into Yunxiao’s figure.
He strode into the city. There were people coming and going in front of the gate, and it was bustling.
However, at this moment, the city was restless, and all kinds of sounds and auras were covered by his divine sense. He immediately understood what was going on. The seal of the devil Lord had been broken, and the strange phenomenon had been transmitted here.
Yunxiao looked back at the horizon. The rainbow-like phenomenon did not disappear for a long time.
A large number of martial artists came out of the city in groups, heading towards the sealed land.
“We’ll go first. Inform fourth brother and the others that they’ll immediately come to our aid once they return to the city.”
“Don’t worry, be careful. If we can really find the source of spiritual energy, I’m afraid there’ll be another fight. We must put our lives first.”
“Hahaha, in Yanwu, apart from the city Lord’s mansion, there are few who can hurt us. The only thing I’m worried about now is whether the source of spiritual energy really exists. After all, our Qi family has already taken root in Yanwu, and if the spiritual energy is exhausted, we’ll have to move again, which will be too much of a blow to our bones.”
“Ninth brother, don’t worry. Spiritual energy won’t appear out of thin air. And no one can detect it, which means this spiritual energy is not simple. If it is excavated, Yanwu may shock the world again.”
Yunxiao looked over and saw several chariots floating outside the city gate, with a simple and beautiful ‘Qi’ character carved on them. Two middle-aged men were saying goodbye.
The conversation between the two people was without any scruples, and everyone around them heard it clearly.
The Qi clan was one of the upper-class clans in Yanwu, and their conversations were no secret.
I hope we can find the source of spiritual energy first and fight for a chance for Yanwu’s survival, as well as more benefits for the Qi clan.
The middle-aged martial artist said no more and flew away with seven or eight chariots.
There was only one cultivator left standing on the chariot. He looked at the colorful clouds and sighed before turning back to the city.
There was a long line outside the city, waiting for strict inspections. However, they left the city very quickly without any formalities. The man from the Qi clan naturally did not join the queue. He rode on his chariot and flew over the crowd.
The guard did not stop him, but instead bowed respectfully.
“You’re a martial artist?”
A few rows in front of Yunxiao, a middle-aged man in a sackcloth was stopped by a guard and asked, ”
The man was a little flustered and quickly shook his head, ” “No, I’m just entering the city to do some business.”
“You’re not? Hmph, I can see that your heavenly Yuan is full. I can tell with one look that you have origin power fluctuations on you. You still dare to quibble!”
The guard suddenly moved. He pinched the man’s shoulder with his right hand and pulled hard. The man was instantly sent flying and smashed into the bronze door.
The copper Door was full of nails as thick as fingers, and the Guard’s lift had at least a thousand Jin of force. If this man was really not a martial artist, he would die without a doubt.
Many people screamed and covered their eyes with their hands, not daring to look.
The coarse-clothed man flipped in the air like a carp, and his palms turned into fists, hitting the copper Door.
“Dang!”
The huge Copper Door was hit by the impact and opened backward. The man also used the force to stabilize his body and landed safely on the ground.
“Eight-stars Martial Master! How dare you impersonate a mortal and enter the city!”
The guard saw through the man’s strength and waved his hand with a cold expression. Suddenly, more than ten cultivators rushed out and surrounded him with a murderous aura.
Yunxiao frowned, not understanding what was going on. He just watched quietly.
The coarse-clothed man’s face was filled with bitterness as he cupped his fists and said, ” “Brothers, you’ve misunderstood. I’ve indeed practiced martial arts before, but due to the limitations of my talent, I’ve abandoned it long ago. He’s only a mortal doing business, so he’s only entering the city for business. He definitely won’t cultivate in the city.”
“Who’s going to believe you? you have no proof, so we’ll follow the rules!” If an eight-stars Martial Master wants to enter the city, he must pay eight hundred thousand medial-grade primordial stones!”
The coarse-clothed man’s expression changed drastically, and he said in shock, ” “Eight hundred thousand? Brothers, if I had 800000 medial-grade primordial stones, why would I still enter the city to do business? Even if it’s 80000, we can’t afford it!”
Yunxiao’s divine sense swept over it slightly, and he saw it clearly.
The man in coarse clothes indeed had old injuries, and his cultivation had not improved for nearly twenty years. Moreover, he seemed to have regressed from a peak nine-stars Martial Master to an eight-stars Martial Master.
In addition, in the storage bag he carried with him, other than a broken first tier profound armament, there were only more than 200000 mid-grade primordial stones, as well as some low-grade herbs and pills.
Asking him to take out 800000 origin stones was no different from asking for his life. Even if he gave up his life, he would not be able to pay so many origin stones.
“Since you can’t take it out, then get lost!” The guard sneered.
The coarse-clothed man’s expression changed slightly, and he said angrily, ” Yanwu has gone too far! Blackmailing martial artists like this will only lead to its demise sooner or later!
The Guard’s face darkened. how dare you speak so rudely! he shouted. take him down!
With a wave of his hand, the guards immediately rushed forward. More than ten of them were martial masters, and they immediately began fighting with the man in coarse cloth at the city gate.
The coarse-clothed man was furious. He slapped his storage bag and a cold light flashed. A broken profound level weapon knife appeared in his hand. It was so powerful that no one dared to get close.
The city gate immediately became chaotic, and a large number of mortals were so scared that they hid to the side.
The guard furrowed his brows. He seemed to have realized that this was a bad influence. He clenched his fists slightly and suddenly attacked.
“Bang!”
He was a three-star great Martial Master. He took a few steps forward and quickly moved to the side of the man in coarse clothes. He punched the back of the knife and the chest of the man in coarse clothes, making him spit out blood and fly out.
The dozen guards hurriedly stepped forward to capture him.
The coarse-clothed man was covered in dust. He spat out blood and cursed as he was tied up and dragged into the city.
Yunxiao could not stand it anymore, but he did not want to hurt anyone. After all, it was his territory, so he said, ” “Release him. I’ll pay for the 800000 medial-grade primordial stones.”
The guard was taken aback for a moment, then he began to size Yunxiao up, and he could not help but feel a little frightened.
This person was untainted by a speck of dust and had an extraordinary temperament. One look and one could tell that he was not an ordinary person. However, no matter how much he observed, he could not detect any elemental energy fluctuations.
In this case, there were only two answers. Either he had a treasure to hide his strength, or his strength far exceeded his own, so he couldn’t see it.
“Young master, do you recognize this person?”
The guard didn’t dare to speak rashly. He wanted to figure out the situation first so as not to offend someone he couldn’t afford to offend.
I don’t know you, ” Yunxiao said. I just can’t stand how you do things. He waved his hand, and a large amount of spiritual Qi was released. A pile of Supreme-grade primordial stones was thrown out.
“?! Supreme-grade primordial stones!”
The Guard’s eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized those Supreme-grade primordial stones. He was so scared that his mouth was wide open.
Although there was an exchange ratio between the grades, the price of higher grade primordial stones was much higher than the exchange ratio, so no one would take it out to exchange.
Even the man in the coarse cloth was dumbfounded. He looked at Yunxiao with confusion in his eyes.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on the Guard’s forehead. Now, even a fool knew that he had met a Big Shot, so he dared not take the Supreme-grade primordial stones. He immediately put them away and handed them back to Yunxiao with both hands, saying bitterly, ” please forgive us, my Lord. We are just following the rules. It is our duty to follow the rules set by Yanwu. We dare not disobey, but we have to.
the rules of Yanwu? ”
what? ” Yunxiao frowned. why is there such a strange rule? ” The sects in other cities are all looking forward to having powerful martial artists move in, so why is Yanwu doing the opposite?”
Taken aback, the guard asked,”is this your first time here, my Lord?” Perhaps we don’t know the situation.”
He immediately gave Yunxiao an identity in his heart, which was most likely a young master from a great family who had come from another region to gain experience. Before the spiritual energy leaked out of Mount Meru, they wouldn’t have met such a young master in hundreds of years. But in recent years, it was not uncommon.
