His voice was sharp and shrill:
"Who dares to push aside someone from my Tianquan Chamber of Commerce? They're asking for death!"
"Get out of the way, all of you, get out of the way!"
The fat man was followed by a group of people dressed in equally splendid clothes.
These people had an arrogant demeanor, as if everyone around them was inferior to them.
However, at this point, these expensive clothes not only failed to provide them with any advantage, but instead aroused hostility from others.
The crowd was already agitated by the congestion, and their discontent intensified upon seeing the arrogance of the group.
"Why should we move aside? Who do you think you are?!" someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.
The sound acted as a fuse, instantly igniting the tense atmosphere.
Upon hearing this, the fat man in the golden robe's face darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, a powerful energy shockwave blasted towards the person who had shouted.
The person who shouted the message changed his expression drastically and hurriedly used his special ability to try to defend himself.
But the shockwave was too powerful, and he was still thrown backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood before crashing to the ground.
"Who's causing trouble?!"
The patrol team maintaining order nearby rushed to the scene after seeing the riot.
When they arrived and saw the Tianquan Chamber of Commerce insignia on the fat man, they simply waved him off and sent the injured man for treatment, then dropped the matter.
Seeing this, the fat man's vanity was overwhelmed, and he was very satisfied.
He turned to the surrounding crowd and coldly shouted:
"Anyone who dares to stand in our way again will suffer the consequences!"
The fat man then raised his head and continued heading out of the city.
This time, wherever the fat man went, the crowd all made way, their faces showing awe.
But beneath this reverence lies more helplessness and anger.
When the Awakened Ones in Yangcheng excitedly headed to the location of the Dragon Vein, they discovered that it had been sealed off by some kind of powerful formation.
The formation was like a huge high wall, separating the outside world from the place where the dragon vein was located.
City Lord Li Yang had already set up a viewing platform in front of the dragon vein and also dispatched a large number of powerful warriors to maintain the formation and order.
At this moment, Li Yang arrived alone with Li Yu.
As Li Yang walked, he patiently explained to Li Yu:
"Star Lord, my invitation was made alone without any other intention."
"The place where the dragon vein is located is filled with miasma, which cannot accommodate too many people. In addition, this poisonous gas has irreversible aftereffects on awakened individuals with low strength. Once infected, they may suffer from it for the rest of their lives."
"Just in case, we have no choice but to leave the Star Lord's team in the city to prevent any unforeseen events."
Li Yu nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. He had already obtained the dragon vein and was naturally very clear about it.
Where dragon veins rise, not only do strange phenomena occur frequently, but they are also accompanied by disorder in energy elements, which is indeed very dangerous for ordinary awakened individuals.
Moreover, if a truly difficult situation arises, he can unleash his full power without any worries, indiscriminately launching wide-range attacks.
From this perspective, leaving the Seventh Regiment in Yangcheng is quite appropriate.
Soon, under Li Yang's personal guidance, Li Yu was the first to arrive at the high platform with the best observation position.
"Tenth Star Lord, please have a seat." Li Yang extended his hand with a smile, inviting him to sit.
Thank you.
Li Yu responded politely, then turned and sat down in the middle chair in the first row.
These chairs were clearly arranged by Li Yang's people long ago.
Looking around at the other empty chairs, Li Yu realized he was the first one to arrive.
This is enough to show how much Li Yang values him.
After Li Yu sat down, she looked up and saw a rain-soaked swamp covered in pink mist in the distance.
In that misty swamp, something resembling a placenta could be vaguely seen, and around it, water flowed like blood vessels, transporting something.
Beneath the swamp, something translucent was constantly wriggling, as if life were truly being nurtured within it.
Although Li Yu was still quite far from the swamp, a faint pink mist was slowly drifting over from a distance.
The mist carried a strange scent.
Li Yu only inhaled a small amount, but he could feel a surge of heat rising up, indicating that the mist did indeed contain some kind of inexplicable toxin.
In an instant, the sparks in the abdominal cyclone emitted a slight crackling sound, easily filtering out the pink toxins that had invaded the body.
Seeing that Li Yu remained calm and composed even after inhaling the pink mist, Li Yang knew he hadn't misjudged him.
At the same time, he was also certain that all the information left behind by the older generation in Yangcheng was true.
Even the weakest Star Lord is far beyond the reach of ordinary Awakened Ones like them.
Li Yu's strength filled Li Yang with both awe and reassurance.
Li Yang also raised his head, glanced at the distant misty swamp, and slowly began to explain:
"Does the Star Lord know that this viewing platform was converted from the former execution ground and killing stakes in Yangcheng?"
Li Yu was waiting for Li Yang to continue, but Li Yang stopped abruptly and instead said with a smile:
"But now that the Star Lord is here, there is no need to worry."
"The Star Lord's destiny is noble, and he will surely be able to suppress this soaring evil energy."
Li Yang suddenly bent down and gently touched one of the chairs:
"This is a rare wooden chair."
"The longer you sit on the wooden chair, the clearer you can see those shady dealings."
As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, a faint dragon's roar echoed from the Misty Swamp, as if something was about to burst out of the mist.
"It's getting late, Star Lord, please stay here and observe the ceremony." Li Yang bowed and walked backward down the steps.
Li Yu also responded with a slight bow.
