Chapter 248: Yancheng
ââťA faint streamer flew across the sky like a meteor, and in the blink of an eye, 1 was lost at the end of the sky.
Flying beside Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong turned his head to look at the young man with the help of the moonlight, and at this time, the strange terrifying aura in his body had completely disappeared again, and was replaced by the breath that was only at the level of a fighter.
The cloudy old eyes looked at Xiao Yan's almost two-heaven change tightly, Hai Bodong pondered for a long time, his brows furrowed slightly, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Little brother Xiao Yan, that strange aura comparable to Dou Xuanqiang is actually not from you."
Hai Bodong's sudden words made Xiao Yan's flight speed slow down slightly, turned his head, glanced at Hai Bodong, and said with a light smile: "Why did Mr. Hai say that?"
"Although I don't deny that Xiao Yan's little brother's cultivation talent is outstanding, but, to be honest, I've been wandering for so many years, and it's not unheard of someone with a cultivation talent like yours, but they, at your age, are at most only the strength of a Dou Shi or a Great Dou Master, as for the Dou Huang... That's absolutely impossible. Hai Bodong smiled and said, "So, after sensing the strange breath in your body before, I think you should have urged some unknown item, that is to say, that power does not actually belong to you." â
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Hai Bodong, and after a while, chuckled: "Mr. Hai is worthy of being a strong Dou Huang, and his eyes are really vicious..."
He could already initially sense the difference between his own aura and the aura of Yao Lao, but fortunately, Hai Bodong was not an alchemist. Otherwise. With the powerful soul perception of a Douhuang-level alchemist, the soul of Yao Lao will definitely have nowhere to hide. It is present. And this is also the reason why when â in the desert, Dan 1 Furukawa appeared, Yakuro would take a careful silence, although Furukawa was not necessarily able to fully perceive his presence. However, relying on his powerful soul perception, he could at least know that the power was definitely not owned by Xiao Yan.
Hearing that Xiao Yanna did not deny it, Hai Bodong's face was obviously full of surprise, but he did not continue to ask about it.
"Huh. That power. It's true that it doesn't belong to me, but. Mr. Hai only needs to know that I can control him to compete with the Douhuang Strong. Xiao Yanruo smiled meaningfully.
Hai Bodong smiled and nodded, indeed, no matter where that power comes from, but Xiao Yan can manipulate it, then he is a strong man who can compete with Dou Xuan, as long as he has power in his hands, all doubts and provocations will be self-defeating.
Seeing that Hai Bodong didn't say anything more, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, the other party is also a smart person, he knows that power is a thing, regardless of the source, as long as whoever has it, then he has the right to speak.
"Let's go, try to get to Yancheng at dawn, but I don't know the way to Yancheng, so I have to rely on Mr. Hai. Xiao Yan smiled and said with a smile.
"Hehe, although I have been in Mocheng for decades, I draw maps every day, and I am very familiar with these routes, so follow me. Hai Bodong smiled, the cold wings behind him shook slightly, and the speed suddenly increased.
Looking at the suddenly accelerated sea waves, Xiao Yan nodded, Ziyun wings flapped, and hurriedly chased after him. In the night sky, two streamers flashed by, and high in the sky, the silver moon gradually fell.
Yancheng, located in the eastern provinces of the Gama Empire, has wide avenues to and fro, making it the only way to the eastern provinces within the empire, and the strategic location is extremely good.
In Yancheng, in addition to the power of the empire, the most powerful is naturally Xiao Yan's mark on their trip, the Mo family!
Due to the domineering monopoly of the Mo family, nearly 60% of the industries in Yancheng belong to the Mo family, and the annual profits, even after removing some necessary taxes and a large amount of property that opens up relations, still raise the Mo family more and more fat.
Although the tree is big and easy to attract wind, but with the behemoth of Yunlan Sect as the backstage, even Xuanyu of the Gama Empire will not easily come to trouble the Mo family, so, under such an unscrupulous exhibition, the power of the Mo family has almost become the overlord of Yancheng, if it were not for the fact that there are three other families in the eastern provinces to contain it, I am afraid that the Mo family would have expanded its sphere of influence to other big cities a long time ago.
But even so, in recent years, the Mo family has relied on the strong backstage, and it has steadily suppressed the three major families under them, as if they were dominating the head of the overlord.
After a day of non-stop travel, Xiao Yan and the two finally gradually approached the range of Yancheng, when the silver moon in the sky was replaced by the blazing sun, the outline of a huge city with a hint of fierce aura finally appeared at the end of the line of sight, under the illumination of the sun above the sky, the huge city in the distance, like a prostrate ancient beast.
Xiao Yan and the two fell to the ground a few hundred meters outside Yancheng, and after a short rest, the two of them changed into a wide black robe with a canopy, the loose robe completely wrapped the bodies of the two of them, and the black canopy hanging down on the top of their heads also made it difficult for people to see the face of the martial arts underneath.
Although Xiao Yan is not afraid of the Mo family, it is naturally best to be able to solve the matter perfectly under the pity of hiding his identity, and besides, Hai Bodong also said that he does not want to offend the Yunlan Sect too much, obviously, this behemoth that dominates the Gamma Empire is not to make this former Ice Emperor have no fear. After changing their costumes, the two of them walked slowly along the wide road towards the towering city not far away
Approaching the city gate, Xiao Yan was a little stunned, at the city gate, dozens of heavily armed soldiers stood on both sides of the city wall, and their sharp eyes kept scanning the passers-by at the martial arts.
Looking at the almost serene guard, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly, this place is already far away from the imperial border, how can the defense be even stricter than Mocheng's* Shaking his head slightly in confusion, Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong glanced at each other, lifted the black cloak, and quietly lined up behind the team, following the team, slowly marching towards the interior of the city.
"Alas, it's really a big show, the Mo family is really not the biggest family in Yancheng. During the queue, several men in mercenary costumes in front of Xiao Yan, either because they were bored, whispered to each other and started to fight.
"Hehe, today seems to be the birthday of Mo Cheng, the great elder of the Mo family, I heard that not only many forces in the eastern region have rushed over to celebrate, but even the Yunlan Sect has sent people over.
"Oh, Yunlan Sect actually came, this Mo Cheng has a lot of face. â
"Hey, although the Mo family is powerful, but in the eyes of the Yunlan Sect, what is it, if it weren't for the huge sacrifice that the Mo family pays to the Yunlan Sect every year, with their vision, they will deign to come down and deal with the Mo family" A mercenary pursed his lips disdainfully and said. âť
"Hey, too. Several mercenaries didn't seem to be very interested in the Mo family, and they all echoed and chuckled. Standing behind the team, listening to the conversation between several mercenaries, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled: "This is really a coincidence, that old bastard actually happened to celebrate his birthday." â
"There are so many forces, we don't seem to be able to make a start," Hai Bodong frowned slightly, and hesitated to move.
"Hehe, Mr. Hai, with the two of us joining forces, not to mention a Mo family, even if it is the Yunlan Sect, there is nothing to be afraid of, besides, do you still think that the sect master of the Yunlan Sect will personally come to celebrate his birthday" Xiao Yan smiled lightly and said with a smile.
"In that case, it's really a bit of a lift-up to that Mo Cheng. Hai Bodong smiled and shook his head, a super strong leader of such a behemoth as the Yunlan Sect, in this Gamma Empire, how many people are qualified for her to come to celebrate in person
"Uh, I don't seem to have promised you that I want to make a move" After laughing for a while, Hai Bodong was suddenly stunned, and said in amazement.
"Hehe, Mr. Hai, if you are needed at that time, then let's do it, I know your investment is expensive, but I think I should be able to afford it. Xiao Yan smiled and said with a smile.
"An alchemist who can refine the Six-Rank Pill, I really hope you owe me a favor. Hai Bodong slammed Bai Xiaoyan's shoulder, lowered his head and smiled. Smiling slightly, Xiao Yan looked up at the team that was about to enter his turn, and was just about to move forward, but not far behind him, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and he turned his head, but he saw that not far away, several men and women on horses were galloping, and the dust raised along the way made everyone waiting in line on the side angry, but when they looked at the figure on the horse with angry eyes, the anger in their hearts was suddenly forcibly swallowed. The woman riding a horse is a young woman, the woman is wearing a set of tight-fitting red clothes, the delicate figure is wrapped to the fullest, the woman's cheeks are quite beautiful, and the smooth forehead is wearing a small crystal ornament, swaying slightly, adding a bit of agility and martial arts to the cheeks with a few delicate breaths.
The woman in red's gaze did not stop because of the trouble she caused to some of the people in line by driving the horse, but after a slanted glance, she rode her horse on her own, leading a group of people behind her, and rushed into the city under the helpless gaze of those guards. The sound of clattering horses' hooves gradually faded away, and in the queue, some dissatisfied insults sounded.
"Damn, isn't it just that you are the second lady of the Mo family? Amazing fart, your Mo family didn't have its current status by currying favor with the Yunlan Sect, and if you are not happy to serve one day, sooner or later your Mo family will be kicked out." Listening to the low scolding sound behind him, Xiao Yan smiled faintly, squinted slightly and swept towards the dark city gate passage, then straightened his black robe, and walked in under the gaze of the surrounding soldiers.
