Chapter 77 Intelligence
Ten days later,
Yang Qingyun followed an ordinary caravan and entered Yangcheng in a low-key manner.
The huge city covers an area of several miles in radius, and magnificent walls several meters high rise up around it, casting a huge shadow.
At the huge city gate, people came and went, forming a torrent, entering and exiting the city.
There were passers-by, men and women, peddlers, warriors. The road was extremely noisy.
This is a city with a population of over one million!
Although it is not as big as those giant cities with a population of millions or tens of millions, it is also comparable to some other small cities.
In this city,
There are no less than five masters in the Xiantian realm!
Merchants, warriors, aristocratic families, sects... all forces are intertwined and extremely complicated.
But all this has little to do with Yang Qingyun.
Faced with a city of millions of people, he now felt a little overwhelmed as to where to start.
It would definitely not be possible to display one's identity blatantly and then go to discuss with several top forces in the city to ask for help in the search.
Not to mention that the main purpose of his trip was the tomb where the master was buried.
If the disappearance of Shen Yanzhao and others is related to those people, wouldn't I be killing myself by doing this?
His mission is to find people, not to die.
While thinking,
In his mind, the tasks accepted by Shen Yanzhao and others kept flashing through his mind.
Task content:
Recently, near Yangcheng, in an area called Xiankong Mountain, the population of dozens of villages have disappeared. It has been rumored that a mysterious person is preaching nearby. Find out the truth about the disappearance of the villagers in those villages and solve the source of the problem.
Mission requirements: Blood exchange realm ~ Organ training realm.
Reward: 30~100 Yuanshi. (Calculated according to the simplicity of the task) This is the task content that Yang Qingyun learned from Shen Yanzhao and others when he asked about it that day.
It was for this reason that Yang Qingyun finally chose this mission.
because,
Xiankong Mountain is the place where the master's tomb is located! "According to my memory, in my previous life, the master's tomb would be discovered 2 to 3 years later. I hope nothing unexpected happens and it's not a butterfly effect."
Yang Qingyun said secretly in his heart.
I couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Forget it, there's no use worrying too much. The most important thing right now is to find a breakthrough point first!"
Think for a moment,
He took out a wooden black token from his arms.
[Those holding this order can enter the Night Walk Tower]
This was the trophy he got when he killed the leader of the Six Gates named Zhao Qing, who was going to become a grandmaster in the future, in Huangshi Town.
At that time, he had also planned to leave Huangshi Town after being promoted to the Body Tempering Realm, join the Night Walk Tower, and use their platform to collect resources to improve himself.
But I didn't expect that I would enter Changchun Temple by chance later.
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, who in the world can compare to Yexinglou?"
Yang Qingyun's eyes flashed slightly, and he already had an idea in his mind.
His figure flashed and disappeared into the crowd.
In an inconspicuous dark corner of the city, there is a deep and damp underground tunnel space.
"What do you need, sir?"
Behind the counter, an old man in a black cloak was looking at a figure in front of him who was wearing a bamboo hat and whose face was completely hidden in the darkness.
"I need a list of warriors above the Blood Exchange Realm who have been to Yangcheng in the past six months."
The figure spoke in a hoarse falsetto.
"I'm sorry, how can such a thing be possible?"
The old man refused without even thinking.
"Five Yuanshi."
"I'm sorry, I was old and confused and remembered it wrong."
The old man admitted his mistake decisively, and the other party offered him a price that was hard to refuse. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with selling some inside information for this.
The old man turned and said something to the figure hidden in the darkness not far away.
Not long after, a dark figure placed a document on the counter.
The figure in the bamboo hat placed five Yuan stones on the counter, handed over the money with one hand and the goods with the other. After confirming that everything was correct, he took the information and left.
After the figure in the bamboo hat disappeared, in the darkness,
There seemed to be a voice asking for instructions from behind the old man in black robe, as if he was asking something.
The old man shook his head.
"Don't be nosy."
Half an hour later, after a series of complicated detours, changes of clothes, disguises, and making sure that no one was following him, Yang Qingyun returned to the guest room of an inconspicuous inn where he was temporarily staying.
The figure in the bamboo hat who had conducted the transaction previously was naturally the one who entered the Night Walk Tower through the token left by Zhao Qing.
Although Yexinglou is largely a killer organization.
But in fact, their management and practices are somewhat similar to the thieves guilds in some Western fantasy novels in Yang Qingyun's memory.
As long as there is money and the price is high enough, they will do everything in their power to meet the employer's requirements.
Just like the list in Yang Qingyun’s hand.
This was also his main purpose in approaching them.
"Let me see what happened in Yangcheng!"
After closing the doors and windows around him, Yang Qingyun took out the documents and began to read them carefully one by one.
first,
He started watching it three months ago.
What made him feel a little relieved was that the names of Shen Yanzhao and others were on the list.
It also carefully posted that Shen Yanzhao was from the Shen family, one of the eight great families in the Chu State, and had 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 directions to Xiankong Mountain, and then left the city and no news came back.
(Note: This may be related to the mysterious force that appeared near Xiankong Mountain!)
Seeing the last line of characters, Yang Qingyun's heart tightened. Mysterious force? What is that? Countless doubts arose in Yang Qingyun's mind, and he quickly searched for it in the information.
I found the relevant information quickly.
That mysterious force appeared about half a year ago. They are quite powerful, with several warriors at the Lian Zang realm. However, their behavior is suspicious. They usually act in secret and are very low-key. If it weren't for the special Yexing Tower, their presence would probably not have been discovered.
They seemed to have used Xiankong Mountain as their base, and no one knew what they were doing.
I usually act very cautiously.
There were several times when the assassins from Yexing Tower who wanted to go and spy were almost discovered by them.
As a result, the specific information and the Night Walk Tower have not yet been collected.
However, over the past few days, Yexinglou has also figured out some details of their situation.
These people seem to be recruiting some notorious demons in the martial arts world into their ranks.
Over the past six months, more than a dozen murderers with blood on their hands and listed on the Six Gates' blacklist 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 incidents 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 fell on the information about a murderer with bloody hands who had recently arrived in Yangcheng.
Bloody massacre, Li Xing!
