Chapter 647: Goodbye Xiao Wanjin
Situ Hongtu felt for the first time that he really underestimated this person.
It's not that I underestimate his strength and the forces behind him, but I despise his heart as a demon. When he was secretly investigating, Situ Hongtu already knew that Ye Lingyu was once a human race. Perhaps his transformation into a demon is not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
"What the lord said is that I will send someone to deliver the message. Situ Hongtu said respectfully.
"Wait a minute. Seeing that he was about to retreat, Ye Lingyu suddenly called again.
"What else do you have to say?"
"About the outer city you manage. Ye Lingyu said.
Situ Hongtu's head shrank, knowing that something was wrong.
The current outer city can be described as a deserted mess, and after the news of the demon race spread, many people from Eternal Night City moved away. This big war has deeply engraved this panic into people's hearts.
The demons are already feared by the world, and ordinary people are even more respectful. Now that the city of eternal night has become a lair, there are very few people willing to stay in the city of eternal night.
In the past, the source of resources for the Star Gate was the monthly worship of the sect that protected it, and the second was the tax revenue from Eternal Night City.
The city is quite large, and the tax revenue is quite substantial every month. But now that the Star Gate is gone, the worship of the rest of the sects is naturally gone, and the tax revenue has decreased sharply because of the decrease in the number of people, compared to the heyday, there is not one in ten.
In the past, the city of eternal night was so magnificent, and there were many merchants and travelers. Walking in the city of eternal night now, you can see many empty houses, and the streets are even more empty, even if some caravans no longer pass through here.
Situ Hongtu was heartbroken about this, but there was still no progress.
"It's the villain who is not good at doing things...... Please forgive your sins. "Situ Hongtu's back is arched like a shrimp.
"You don't have to blame yourself. Ye Lingyu said that he actually understands the difficulties of Situ Hongtu. But the affairs of the outer city must be resolved, and it is impossible for the Royal Beast Gate to sit and eat empty, besides, such a big city, if it is free, it will not look good, "Let me ask you, did Xingmen sell things from the Demon Realm to the Cangling Continent before?"
Situ Hongtu nodded: "My lord is aware of it, in the past, the dog thief of Yang Juetian sold things from the Demon Realm to various places in the continent, or exchanged resources with other sects. Adults probably also know that once the twelve stars of the Star Gate were completely wiped out in the Northern Regions, and the sect once declined, at that time, Yang Juetian used the resources of the Demon Realm to regroup. ”
Ye Lingyu groaned slightly and nodded. Things from the Demon Realm are extremely rare in the Cangling Continent. Rare things are expensive, and things that are common in the Demon Realm can often be sold for a high price in the Cangling Continent.
I thought about it for a moment: "Where did I sell these things before?"
Situ Hongtu hurriedly replied: "If you go back to your lordship, most of the things you used to get from the Demon Realm were medicinal materials and spirit beast inner pills, and most of them were sold to the Dan Domain, and they also had some dealings with the Endless Land. ”
This kind of thing is also natural, if it is something rare, the safest way is to trade it to these big sects, because the benefits that can be exchanged are also the most.
"My lord, but I want to trade with the Dan Domain with the resources of the Demon Realm?" Situ Hongtu had almost guessed what Ye Lingyu wanted to do. Inside the Great Sect, the Endless Land is impossible, and they have a mutual enmity. Longshan doesn't need to think about it, although it is also one of the four major sects, it belongs to the hidden world sect, and the disciples do not go out all year round, and they are almost cut off from the outside world. Then the only thing that can be considered is Danyu.
But Ye Lingyu shook his head: "Now that Eternal Night City is on the cusp, they won't have anything to do with us at this time, even if you send someone there, it will be in vain." ”
"What do you mean?" asked the Elder Brother.
"Build me an auction house. Ye Lingyu waved his hand, "Build as grand as you want." ”
Situ Hongtu almost understood what he meant: "Your Excellency means that you will restore the popularity of Eternal Night City by auction, your Excellency will see it." ”
Auctioning things is only secondary, the most important thing in the Imperial Beast Gate now is money, and Ye Lingyu's intention is to restore the prosperity of Eternal Night City to its former glory.
Many things from the Demon Realm only come from the Demon Realm, and now the Royal Beast Gate is the only one that can take out these things. This is the only one, as long as the things taken out are good enough, I am not afraid that no one will come to the door.
When the time comes, it will not be them begging others to come, but others will squeeze in when they have broken through the threshold.
He naturally handed over the construction of the auction house to Situ Hongtu, and the time set was half a year.
Half a year is the construction time, and it is also the time for those sects to redeem people. Half a year later, it is time for the turmoil of today's battle to subside, and it is just right to hold another auction.
Leaving other things to the disciple, he didn't go back to the inner city, but found a teahouse in the outer city to sit for a while.
Zixing, Youlan, Mengxue and others were all by his side.
It was a small teahouse, and the teahouse guys were trembling when they saw Ye Lingyu and others coming. The demon clan has a special identity, and now it is rumored throughout Eternal Night City.
A group of beauties gathered together, but no one dared to approach.
Ye Lingyu drank a cup of tea and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Aren't you going back to the sect?" asked Youlan.
"I'll go to the Heavenly Sage first. Ye Lingyu said.
"Just came back, and left without stopping?" Youlan blamed a little, "That's it, anyway, there's nothing you need to worry about here, you can continue to be your hands-off shopkeeper." Find your little lovers one by one. Anyway, with your current identity, you can marry all the beautiful girls in the world, build your three palaces and six courtyards, and gather your three thousand beauties. ”
What is the ...... It sounds so sour, and it feels like a vinegar jar has been overturned.
Ye Lingyu lowered his head and drank tea, silent, his head almost buried in the tea bowl.
Back then, in the underground of trials, he still had promises that he hadn't kept. Back then, Anna's goblin chose to leave in order not to bring trouble to them. To this day, Ye Lingyu still feels that he owes something.
In addition to Anna, so is Shidie, so far there is no news, the world is big, and he doesn't know where to look for it.
He made the city famous, and the names of his adversaries were known, and one of his intentions was to let them know where they were.
I drank two bowls of tea, and after a while of intimacy with the women, I was ready to leave.
At this moment, a disciple of the Royal Beast Sect ran over: "Sect Master!"
"What's the matter?" Ye Lingyu asked.
The disciple looked quite flustered: "Yes...... It was outside the city, and someone came again. ”
"Who?"
"I don't know, there are tens of thousands of people coming. The disciple said nervously.
Tens of thousands? Just defeated 300,000, why are there tens of thousands?
Ye Lingyu and the girls glanced at each other and hurriedly rushed out of the city.
He wanted to see what even 300,000 people were defeated and what these tens of thousands of people were here for. If he was holding the banner of crusading against the demon clan again, Ye Lingyu wanted to see who gave them the courage.
Flying up the tower, I saw a group of people gathered in the distance.
The disciples under the city were all a little panicked, staring nervously into the distance one by one.
Ye Lingyu squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and in the crowd opposite, there was a big flag, and there was a red word "Xiao" on it.
Xiao Xiao's family?
Ye Lingyu's expression was solemn.
At this time, a loud voice came from the other side: "Brother Ye, it's been good lately." Xiao came uninvited, don't blame him!"
"Xiao Wanjin!" Ye Lingyu had a surprise on his face and jumped down from the edge of the city.
Dives forward, and two steps in a row have appeared in front of the group.
When I walked in, the leader was dressed in iron armor, wearing a silver helmet and a long sword at his waist. Although the armor blocked half of his face, Ye Lingyu recognized him at a glance with that look.
After many years, he looked more calm, his face faded from the youth master's greenness, and there was a sense of vicissitudes.
If it weren't for the fact that his face hadn't changed, Ye Lingyu wouldn't have believed that it was the same person.
"Brother Xiao?" Ye Lingyu whispered.
Xiao Wanjin took off his helmet and curled the corners of his mouth at Ye Lingyu: "After many years, I finally let me see you again." ”
Ye Lingyu grinned, on the Cangling Continent, he didn't have many friends, but Xiao Wanjin was definitely one.
This guy has changed too much from before, not to mention that his cultivation has reached the seventh layer of the ground level, and the team of people behind him is definitely not bad. That's at least twenty or thirty thousand, Ye Lingyu casually sensed it, and he felt the breath of four or five heavenly steps.
In the past, the Xiao family only had Xiao Wufu as a heavenly step, but after being replaced by Meisha, he had nothing. It is a miracle to pull such a team from scratch in just ten years.
Now he is truly reborn.
"I've heard Brother Ye's name in the last few days, and when I heard that you were in Eternal Night City, I rushed here non-stop. When I saw that it was really you, I was so happy. Xiao Wanjin patted Ye Lingyu on the shoulder vigorously.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go, follow me into the city!" Ye Lingyu didn't need to say anything, and took Xiao Wanjin to the city.
"Brother Ye...... These people behind me ......."
"Take it with you, and follow me into the city. Ye Lingyu led the way in high spirits.
Xiao Wanjin suddenly came to visit Eternal Night City, and he was naturally happy. And he vaguely felt that Xiao Wanjin could come this time, and it might be helpful for him to find Anna.
I had heard from Zixing that the Xiao family and the Heavenly Sage were incompatible, and Xiao Wanjin knew much more about the situation of the Heavenly Sage than him, and it would definitely be much easier to find someone. And more importantly, now that the affairs of the demon clan have caused turmoil in the entire continent, Xiao Wanjin can come over at this time, which shows that he is not afraid of the world's criticism. Anyway, Ye Lingyu is sure that Xiao Wanjin is not here to find trouble, at this time, he can be commensurate with him as a friend, it is enough to see Xiao Wanjin's temperament, the other party is like this, Ye Lingyu will definitely not snub people.
Outside the Eternal Night City is still the appearance after the war, Xiao Wanjin and the 30,000 people behind him all the way over.
"Brother Ye, I heard that Eternal Night City is yours now?" Xiao Wanjin asked.
"The Star Gate is gone, and my Imperial Beast Gate has taken its place, and now I will use Eternal Night City as my sect. Ye Lingyu said.
Xiao Wanjin looked all the way, especially when he saw those people who were locked in the formation, he was deeply shocked: "I heard before that someone wants to be unfavorable to Eternal Night City, could it be them?"
Among those people, some of them were pulled out alone, all of them were wearing the clothes of the Endless Land, and in a separate formation, they were even locked up in the Twenty Heavenly Steps. Everything made Xiao Wanjin stammer.
"Some beam-jumping clowns, beating me up on the idea of Eternal Night City. Brother Xiao brought someone here this time, could it be that he came to help?" Ye Lingyu said with a smile.
"I was going to do that, but it doesn't seem like I'm going to be needed. Xiao Wanjin smiled.
