Chapter 30: The Storm and the Clouds

Gu Tong has been searching for the secret of Reiki for so many years.

Although the progress is very difficult, he has also grasped a lot of useful information over the years.

As soon as the aura revived, he began to search for those lucky awakened ones.

By now, he had more than ninety awakened people under his command.

And he thought it was very suspicious, so he asked his men to find out what was going on.

After just a brief investigation, Gutong found the reason.

To the city.

Ge Tianbao's statement was too suspicious.

And he didn't do things secretively enough, and he didn't hide the identity of the person who suddenly disappeared.

It was easy for him to see that something was wrong, and he was almost sure.

Xiang Cheng, like himself, those organizations, and sects, is recruiting those awakened.

Why Xiang Cheng behaved like this made Gu Tong puzzled.

Because as far as he knew, there were no organizations or sects near Xiangcheng.

So how did Xiang Cheng know about the Awakened?

There must be cultivators in Xiangcheng, and there should have been some kind of sect-like organization.

However, it should still be in its infancy.

Maybe it was some lucky guy who accidentally got the opportunity to start cultivating before the aura was revived.

Moreover, the person who started cultivating must be a person of high moral character, and he must also be far-sighted.

Gu Tong also knows something about Xiangcheng, and as far as he knows, Xiangcheng is a place full of talents.

But the best feature of this place is not that it is full of talent.

Rather, it is known as a "perfect speculator" city.

The vision and foresight of the city lord Xiang Tian is the key to the rise of that city.

Then it can be deduced from this that the one who started cultivating must be the city lord, Xiang Tian.

However, Xiang Tian's appearance is aging, if he had started cultivating a long time ago, his appearance would not have aged so much.

Then all the speculations have been established.

Gu Tong was going to look for Xiang Tian, but this was the next step.

But now that he has been rejected by other organizations, he has no choice.

Even if he makes a decision, he has to carry it on.

Xiangcheng has just started, and the most scarce thing is intelligence.

And the intelligence, which I have, is not as good as those sects and organizations.

But it is more than enough to tempt Xiangcheng, who is just starting out.

However, there are still some things to prepare on his side, otherwise he would not dare to go directly to the city like this.

If they get caught, they can get what they want, even if they don't cooperate.

That's more than worth the loss.

Thinking of this, Gu Tong immediately began to act and began to arrange for his subordinates to prepare.

……

On a mountain peak surrounded by clouds, an old man with white hair was sitting by a lake fishing.

And just as the fish was about to take the bait, there was a sudden sound of footsteps beside him.

Naturally, the sound of footsteps also disturbed the fish that were about to be hooked, and they swam away.

There was a hint of displeasure on the old man's face.

Everyone on the mountain knows his temper, and when he's fishing, he doesn't like to be disturbed.

I remember that there was a boy who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky, because he disturbed his fishing.

was hung on the top of the mountain by himself for half a month, and even the master who had always loved the kid the most did not dare to plead.

It stands to reason that no one will dare to disturb them anymore.

Who is it? So bold.

The old man smacked his lips and turned to see a middle-aged man standing beside him.

It was his big disciple.

He couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he wouldn't be too surprised when anyone appeared at this time, but it was his own big disciple.

He felt that the most unlikely people did the most impossible things.

The reason why he likes this big disciple the most is because he is sensible and self-aware.

Know when you can't do something and when you have to do it.

But how can this be the case today?

Before he could speak, the middle-aged man took the lead after saluting:

"The apprentice is guilty of disturbing the master's cultivation, and he deserves to die, but there is one thing that has to be reported."

The old man frowned, he could let his eldest disciple come and disturb him at this time.

It's certainly not going to be a trivial matter.

In addition to being self-aware, this big disciple is also quite good in other places.

Except for some kindness, he could hardly find fault with this big disciple.

"Tell me, what is it that makes you come to me in such a hurry."

The eldest disciple saluted again, and then spoke:

"Half a month ago, the aura was revived, and I asked the forces in the world to help find the awakened according to your orders."

"Everything is going well, although other sects are also searching, but we still found a lot."

"But later, after accounting, it turned out that we found too few people."

"So I asked those forces to investigate, and found that there was a secular force competing with us for the Awakened!"

"Why hasn't there been news for half a month?" The old man frowned and asked impatiently.

The middle-aged man showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said:

"Master, you also know that our connection with the world is too time-consuming......

The old man waved his hand impatiently, which was also a headache for him.

In the era of the peak of spiritual energy, it is easy to quickly connect with the world.

All it takes is one magic weapon to solve all this.

However, the aura has just recovered, and it is still very thin, and the magic weapon of communication cannot be used at all.

Communication is not a problem for a kilometer or two, but this mountain is too far away from the worldly forces.

"Which one?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Xiangcheng." ”

When the old man heard the answer, his eyes narrowed, and he asked:

"Is that the Xiangcheng that those secular forces have been asking us to help get rid of?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "It's that Xiangcheng." ”

"I remember I asked you to send someone to negotiate with them, didn't I?" The old man asked with a flat face.

The middle-aged man nodded again, but the cold sweat behind his back had already soaked his clothes.

However, he still replied: "Those secular forces do not dare to enter the city within a radius of ten miles......

"Oh? Is that Xiangcheng really so powerful? "The old man came to be interested.

"You let your third junior brother go down the mountain to see how powerful Xiangcheng is."

"Yes." The middle-aged man saluted and left the lake, and after walking far away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this incident did make the master care, and he originally thought that the master would not care.

As a result, I didn't expect the master to directly let the third junior brother go down the mountain to Xiangcheng, and Xiangcheng was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.

His third junior brother is notoriously irritable and irritable......

The old man stood by the lake, smiled, and went back fishing.

……

Such a situation happened in many places, and for a time, many people hurried down the mountain.

For a time, Xiangcheng became the target of everyone.
