Chapter 158
Sunset City issued a bounty with generous rewards in order to attract some powerful people. In the past few days, some people took on several of the most difficult tasks in the bounty hall and completed them successfully with extremely high efficiency.
Wu Wei followed the trail and saw those people as expected. It was a small team of seven or eight people.
The account used to accept the bounty mission was a newly obtained one, which means that this team was just established and there is no record of them in the Spiritual Master Alliance. This group of people looked unfamiliar and should have just arrived in Xizhou.
The most important thing is that everyone in the team is very young, only about twenty years old, but they have all reached the Earth Rank, and two of them have even reached Earth Rank three stars. Judging from the way they start fighting, they have rich combat experience.
When it comes to talent, even Wu Wei, the young master of the Wu family, cannot compare to him. Even among the reserve young masters of aristocratic families, there are few who can have such ability.
This group of people did not look like they were from any wealthy family. Wu Wei looked at them for several days before going up to make friends with them. These people seemed very friendly and knew that he was the young master of the Wu family. They neither tried to curry favor with him nor tried to distance themselves from him, which gave Wu Wei the feeling that he had found a treasure.
The young sword-wielding spiritualist at the head of the team introduced himself as Rong Yu. The spiritual essence next to him was a rare one, a strange black thin blade, named Ding Lian. There were several others behind him, and they introduced themselves as well. Each of them had a different spiritual essence and abilities.
According to Rong Yu and Ding Lian, they were not from a famous family and had no background. They were just chosen by their master to practice when they were very young. Their master's sect was very small and lived in seclusion in the mountains, so it was not worth mentioning. Now was their first time to come out for training.
This made Wu Wei even more surprised.
I can actually pick up such a good seedling that fell from the sky!
He didn't suspect too much. After all, these people were so talented, and he had never heard of them before. This seemed to be the only explanation.
If someone intended to harm the Wu family and used seven or eight extremely talented young people as bait, even Su Ye Xianshan would not be so generous. Besides, he knew the strength of the Wu family and he was not so bold as to do that.
Yin Rongyu didn't expect that he would believe it so easily. He had prepared some excuses, but now they were useless.
It seems that people in the spiritual world have become accustomed to forgetting Beizhou.
Or perhaps there has been no communication for many years, so rumors have spread rapidly. Many people think that Beizhou is now a scorched earth and the people there are all living in dire straits. Let alone practicing, it is probably very difficult to even survive. It is definitely impossible for any good seedlings to emerge from there. Moreover, it has become a stereotype that it is extremely difficult to come out of Beizhou.
Quite easy to deceive.
Yin Rongyu thought.
However, he did not take the initiative to deceive this time. After listening to the young master's orders and making friends with Wu Wei, Yin Rongyu also did a lot of things as required, gaining the other party's trust little by little.
Although he didn't understand why, he couldn't refuse Yin Jiuxiao's order.
And as long as seeing is believing, the Wu family will believe it no matter how outrageous the story is.
According to Yin Rongyu, his spiritual essence is not just a simple sword. The sword has a connection with him and has the special ability to predict danger in demonic cracks and beast tides.
Moreover, all the predictions he made afterwards actually coincided with what happened outside the city, allowing the Wu family to seize the opportunity and gain a lot of benefits while reducing losses, which made Wu Wei even more convinced.
The more Wu Wei looked at them, the more he felt that these people were no simple people. Even if he couldn't bring them into the Wu family, just making friends with them would be good enough. It might also be of great help in his fight for the position of an aristocratic family.
He quickly welcomed them into the City Lord's Mansion, and spent some time with them during this period. He was able to learn from Wu Wei some information that was difficult to obtain from outside.
Wu Wei was also thankful that the Diemeng Pharmacy suddenly emerged and attracted the attention of the Shen family and Fuxin Miaofa, otherwise these people would definitely be taken away by these two powerful forces, and the Wu family would not be able to catch even a corner of their clothes.
However, no matter how good these people are, there is just a bad apple in the soup.
This group of people are all brave, but there is a most incompetent person among them, who is also bullying others.
He was wearing a half silver mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. He must have been hiding it intentionally. Of course, this practice was also very common in the spirit world, so it couldn't be considered unique.
According to Rong Yu, this person is his cousin: "You... just call him Lin Xiao, um, don't mess with him on weekdays."
Wu Wei really dislikes this so-called Lin Xiao.
His identity is very special in the team, and everyone in the team respects him like a master, but in Wu Wei's opinion, he is a drag.
When they first met, the team was struggling to fight against a small demonic crack, and there were two earth-level beasts nearby, watching them closely. Everyone was struggling. Only this person was sitting on a clean stone watching the show, his body spotless, as if he was not living in the same world as the others.
Not only did he not take action, but a lone spirit beast in the battle saw the situation and was about to attack him, but he did not move at all, and slowly called out "Ding Lian". Ding Lian, who was closest to him, did not even care about the situation in front of him, and rushed over to deal with the spirit beast first.
Because of this, he turned suddenly and was hit by the ghost vine he had just been fighting with. The wound was as long as his forearm and it looked painful.
Even so, Lin Xiao not only didn't feel sorry, but his tone also sounded very dissatisfied.
"You reacted too slowly. Be more careful next time."
Ding Lian bowed his head slightly to him, replied "yes", and then went up to fight again with the wound on his arm.
Wu Wei was shocked watching from the side.
There are such shameless bastards in the world!
What's even more terrifying is that everyone in the team is very respectful to him and has no complaints at all. At first Wu Wei thought that this person was a hidden master who just didn't take action. However, he had been observing him closely for several days. The spiritual power fluctuations of this person were too weak, and he was also young, so it was absolutely impossible for him to disguise himself.
I am a five-star earth rank, and it is not so easy to deceive myself.
He was really curious, so he asked about Rong Yu. The other party was silent for a while, with a strange look on his face, and then said: "He, he... married a very powerful wife, and she has been very kind to us. Well, we naturally have to protect him during this training."
This is the most annoying useless relative!
Wu Wei looked at him with sympathy, but he didn't know that Yin Rongyu wanted to roll his eyes even more than he did.
Yin Jiuxiao just wanted to train them, he knew that, Diemeng had already been established, the first batch of Heavenly Ranks were all protecting that place, so naturally they also had to have their own plans.
But Yin Jiuxiao obviously didn't want to make it that simple. Attracting Wu Wei and then making friends with him was his order, and everything was arranged by him.
Things like the ability to predict the future are of course nonsense, all the information was given by Yin Jiuxiao.
He had his own silver mask, which he had used before. Knowing that he was going out, the president of the Equipment Refiners Association in Lingguan came personally to modify the spiritual weapon. Now the mask had a better effect than in his previous life. It could conceal his figure and face, as well as the style of his spiritual marrow.
He had no use for the concealing spiritual weapon from his previous life, which was a necklace, but he had snatched it away in advance and threw it to Yin Rongyu who was easily exposed.
Of course, the most difficult thing for the Yin family to hide is the Jiuxiao Jueyun sword technique. In the past, it could be seen at the first use, but now it is not necessarily the case.
Especially for a young man like Wu Wei, who is in his twenties and has no experience of direct confrontation with the Yin family, he would definitely not be able to recognize them.
The circumstances in the next life are different, but for Yin Jiuxiao, there is still a need for him to meet Wu Wei.
The reason for doing this now is to make the Wu family believe in their own judgment and be prepared before the disaster comes. By making preparations in advance in the north and west of the city, there will be no need for so many deaths like last time.
The south of the city is where the City Lord's Mansion is located. It is far away from the beast tide and it was not affected even in the previous life, so there is no need to spend so much thought on it.
As for the east side of the city...
That was naturally reserved for himself, the Silver Emperor Fox Wolf was right there.
He also told Lin Qinghen about this matter. The large-scale sale of Diemeng's pills would be of some help in this matter.
Especially the Jifengsan, if used properly, can also save the lives of some ordinary people.
There was not much time left, and it would take several days for the Shen family and Fu Xin Miao Fa to hesitate. After Zhang Fu left, the disaster that swept the entire city actually happened the next day.
Now Leng Qiuyue, who practiced Fu Xin Miao Fa, was still on the way, and the people from the Shen family had not arrived yet. He and Lin Qinghen also deliberately coordinated the time with each other, deciding when to sell what elixir and when to send materials. Even the time when Zhang Fu went out was not accidental, it was all deliberately planned, knowing that the other party would not release the eagle until they saw the rabbit, and if they did not advance step by step like this, they would not be able to contact them so quickly.
Even though they may not be able to resolve the demonic rift in time, they should be able to catch up and see Die Meng's great victory.
After the night passed, when Lin Qinghen woke up in the morning, he keenly smelled a hint of demonic energy in the air.
He was in the east of the city. According to Jiuxiao, the demonic energy crack was not in the city, but quite a distance away. However, the smell could drift here from such a distance.
Lin Qinghen sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and then he heard a beast howl. He couldn't tell what kind of beast it was, and then there were more and more howls, one after another, as if he was in a jungle.
After a while, Yu Yinyin knocked on his door and said to him, "It's time to start."
Naturally, Diemeng's small courtyard had been well-defended long ago and was absolutely impregnable, but the situation outside was not necessarily the same, as chaos had clearly begun to set in.
"Wei Lin and the others are getting ready to leave," Yu Yinyin said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Since they intend to lure the Wu family away, Diemeng will naturally be the one to guard the east part of the city. They have heavenly rank, so nothing will go wrong.
However, when the demonic energy rifts and the beast tide attacked the city at the same time, Shen Rujie, who was near the city lord's mansion, was caught off guard.
He contacted the Shen family in advance, and the old man of the Shen family was very interested, so he set out early in the morning. According to the location of the Shen family, he would pass by the east of the city today.
But at this point in time, no one knew where he had gone. When I received the message and contacted him, it turned out that the communication magic device was interfered by the evil spirit and I could no longer contact him.
The Shen family and Fuxin Miaofa also had combat spiritualists with them, about ten earth-level and two heaven-level. When they heard that there was a demonic energy crack and were entrusted by the Wu family, they naturally wanted to check it out to see if there was any profit to be made, but they were stopped by Shen Rujie.
"What's the point of thinking about profit?" He said anxiously, "The most important thing now is our old man. He doesn't have many people around him. If something goes wrong, none of us can handle it. Let's find him first!"
