Chapter 77 Intelligence
Ten days later,
Yang Qingyun followed an ordinary caravan and entered Yangcheng in a low-key manner.
The huge city covers several miles in radius, with magnificent walls several feet high rising all around, casting huge shadows.
At the huge city gate, people were coming and going, forming a torrent, flowing in and out of the city.
There were male and female passers-by, vendors, and warriors. It was extremely noisy on the road.
This is a city with a population of over one million!
Although it is not as good as those giant cities with a population of millions or tens of millions, it is not comparable to other small cities.
In this city,
There are no less than five masters in the Xiantian realm!
Businessmen, warriors, aristocratic families, sects. The forces of all parties are intertwined and complex.
But all this has little to do with Yang Qingyun.
Facing a city with millions of people,
At this time, he also felt that he had no idea where to start.
It's definitely not possible to show your identity in a swaggering way, and then go to discuss with several top forces in the city to help find him.
Not to mention that the main purpose of his trip was the grave where the Grand Master rested.
If the disappearance of Shen Yanzhao and others had something to do with those people, wouldn't it be self-destruction if he acted like this?
His mission is to find people, not to find death.
While thinking,
In his mind, the missions that Shen Yanzhao and others took on kept flashing through his mind.
Task content:
Recently, near Yangcheng, more than a dozen villages have completely disappeared in an area called Shengkong Mountain. It was once rumored that a mysterious person was preaching nearby. It is necessary to find out the truth behind the disappearance of the villagers in those villages and solve the source of the matter.
Mission requirements: Blood Exchange Realm ~ Zang Training Realm.
Reward: 30~100 yuan stones. (Calculated based on whether the task content is simple or not)
This is the content of the mission that Shen Yanzhao and others received from Yang Qingyun's inquiry that day.
It is precisely because of this that
Yang Qingyun finally chose this task.
because,
Falling into the empty mountain,
It is the place where the tomb of the great master is buried!
"According to memory, the grave where the grandmaster rests will not be discovered until 2 to 3 years later in his previous life. I hope nothing unexpected happens. I hope it's not a butterfly effect."
Yang Qingyun said secretly in his heart.
I can't help but feel a little worried.
"Forget it, it's useless to worry too much. The most important thing at the moment is to find an entry point first!"
Think for a moment,
He took out a wooden black token from his arms.
[Those who hold this order can enter the Night Walk Tower]
This was the trophy he got from killing a Six-Sect Leader named Zhao Qing who would become a Grandmaster when he was in Huangshi Town.
At that time, he had planned to leave Huangshi Town after being promoted to the Body Tempering Realm, join Yexinglou, and use their platform to collect resources to improve himself.
I just didn't expect that I would enter Changchun Temple by chance.
The original plan was naturally abandoned.
However, Yang Qingyun did not throw away the token, but kept it.
"When it comes to being well-informed, there is no one in the world that can compare to Ye Xing Lou."
Yang Qingyun's eyes flashed slightly,
I already have an idea in mind.
His figure flashed and disappeared into the crowd.
An inconspicuous dark corner in the city,
A deep and humid underground space.
"I wonder what you need?"
Behind the counter, the old man covered in a black cloak looked at the figure wearing a hat on his head, his face completely hidden in the darkness.
"I need a list of warriors above the blood exchange realm who have traveled to Yangcheng in the past six months."
The figure spoke in a hoarse falsetto.
"Sorry, how can such a thing exist?"
The old man refused without thinking.
"Five primeval stones."
"I'm sorry, I just remembered it wrongly"
The old man decisively admitted his mistake,
The other party gave him a price that was hard to refuse, so it seemed okay to sell some inside information.
The old man turned around and said something to the figure hidden in the darkness not far away.
Not long after,
A dark shadow placed a piece of information on the counter.
The figure in the bamboo hat placed the five yuan stones on the counter, paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. After confirming that everything was correct, he took the information and left.
After the figure in the bamboo hat disappears,
in the darkness,
There seemed to be words of request for instructions coming from behind the old man in black robe, as if he was asking for something.
The old man shook his head.
"Don't be troublesome."
Half an hour later,
After a series of complicated detours, changing his appearance, and making sure that no one was following him, Yang Qingyun returned to the humble guest room of an ordinary inn where he was temporarily staying.
The figure in the bamboo hat who made the transaction before naturally passed the token left by Zhao Qing and entered the Yexing Building.
Although Ye Xing Lou is largely a killer organization.
But in fact, their management and practices are somewhat similar to the thieves guild in some Western fantasy novels in Yang Qingyun's memory.
As long as they have money and pay a high enough price, they will do everything in their power to meet their employer's requirements.
Just like the list in Yang Qingyun's hand.
This was also his main purpose in finding them.
"Let me see what is happening in Yang City!"
Close the surrounding doors and windows tightly,
Yang Qingyun took out the information and began to browse and read it one by one.
first,
He started watching three months ago.
What made him feel a little relieved was that the names of Shen Yanzhao and others were on the list.
And it was carefully posted that Shen Yanzhao was from the Shen family, one of the eight great families in Chu State, and joined an extremely mysterious sect. He had rarely appeared in recent years, and the people who traveled with him were all talented people from aristocratic families.
Not long after entering Yangcheng, Shen Yanzhao and his companions asked people for the way to Xiankong Mountain, and then left the city, and no news came.
(Note: It may be related to the mysterious force that appeared near Xiankong Mountain!)
Seeing the last note, Yang Qingyun's heart tightened,
Mysterious force? What is that?
Countless doubts arose in Yang Qingyun's mind, and he quickly searched in the information.
Soon found relevant information.
That mysterious force appeared about half a year ago. It was powerful and had several warriors in the realm of practicing internal organs, but its whereabouts were suspicious. It usually acted in secret and was very low-key. If it weren't for the extremely special Yexing Building, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been discovered.
They seemed to have used Xiankong Mountain as a base, and I don't know what they were doing.
They were always very cautious.
There were several times when the assassins from the Night Walk Tower who wanted to go and spy were almost discovered by them.
So the specific intelligence and the Night Walk Tower have not been collected yet.
However, in recent days, the Night Walk Tower has also found out some of their situation.
These people,
seem to be recruiting some notorious demons in the martial arts world to join them.
In the past six months, more than a dozen bloody murderers who were listed on the Six Gates Black List have secretly arrived and joined them.
"Strange, who are these guys? What is their purpose?"
Yang Qingyun frowned.
In his previous life,
he had never heard of any major changes in Yangcheng?
For a moment, countless doubts surged in his mind.
"I need a breakthrough..."
Yang Qingyun murmured in a low voice.
Finally, his eyes were on the information, a bloody murderer who had recently arrived in Yangcheng.
Blood slaughter, Li Xing!
