C76 Yan City Chaos
The elder who gave Zuo Tian his pulse was the one who had looked over Zuo Feng's injuries that day, Elder Yan. The old man examined it for a while before slowly withdrawing his hand. His expression was solemn as if he was about to drip water.
Reluctantly, he once again placed two fingers on Tian Li's wrist. Half a quarter of an hour later, the elder withdrew his hand with a confused expression. He turned his head to look at Tian Qing with some hesitation as he spoke.
"The child is not ill and shows no signs of injury."
Hearing his words, Uncle Tian and Anya were slightly stunned. When they looked back at the red and swollen Tianji, Uncle Tian could not help but say, "Elder Yan, did you see wrongly? Why …"
Elder Yan glared at his uncle unhappily, and before Uncle Tian could finish speaking, he said, "Heavens, you know a little about the way of medicine, there are no abnormalities in the child's meridians, it's just that there is too much spiritual energy in his meridians. Stacked in one place without being able to vent, it's not like it's any disease at all. "
Hearing Elder Yan's words, Anya seemed even more astonished, as if she was talking to herself, "But this girl has never cultivated her body before."
Anya's words caused old man Yan to involuntarily open his mouth wide. Even his hands were slightly trembling, as he once again looked carefully at Tian Jia, who was on the stone bed, and asked.
"Never practiced body tempering?" However, this child's body and meridians are filled with pure spiritual energy. I was wondering what kind of powerful technique could allow a child this young to possess such pure and strong spiritual energy. But if this child has never practiced body tempering technique before, then when so much spiritual energy enters her meridians and body, she should have exploded and died a long time ago, right? "
Uncle Tian frowned as he listened to the conversation between Elder Yan and Anya. Suddenly, he thought of someone. The heavily injured young man had only used a few days to completely recover and had also successfully advanced. Wasn't that the young girl's brother?
"Why is it that these two siblings are so unfathomable? A few days ago, they were completely overwhelmed by that young man. Today, this little girl is also very strange. Just what is the background of these two siblings?"
Uncle Tian seemed to be talking to himself, but he also seemed to want someone to answer his question.
"No matter what, I should let this girl rest here first. If the spiritual energy doesn't belong to her, it should dissipate after a while." There's nothing we can do about her now. We can only observe her for now. " Elder Yan said after musing for a moment.
Uncle Tian and Anya could only helplessly nod their heads. At this moment, Uncle Tian's expression was extremely serious. His intuition told him that this little girl's secrets were definitely not small. If he could solve it, it would definitely be beneficial to the mayor. However, seeing Anya's anxious and concerned expression, he could only slightly sigh. He could only wait for the little girl to naturally turn better before slowly asking.
A few of them exited from the quiet room where Anya was in. There was already a Shadow Guard standing outside the room, dressed in black. Seeing that Uncle Tian had come out from his room, he immediately bowed in greeting before taking a step forward, "Uncle Tian, the Mayor wishes for you to head to the meeting room to meet him immediately."
The Mayor once said that it would take him at least half a year to come out. But right now, it hasn't even been three months, and something big must have happened.
Not daring to delay any longer, he bid his farewells to Elder Yan and Anya before hurrying back to the meeting room. He thought to himself that nothing major had recently happened in the city, so why did the mayor end his seclusion at this time?
'Could this have something to do with the phenomenon? ' A guess flashed through Uncle Tian's mind.
In the spacious meeting hall, only a middle-aged man with a rough complexion was sitting at the seat of honor without anyone else. This rough face man was the one who had truly taken control of Yan City, City Lord An Xiong.
Just by looking at his appearance, he really did look like a mini black bear. It was really hard to imagine that such a boorish man would have such a beautiful daughter like Anya.
Uncle Tian knew An Xiong's habits very well. He usually didn't like the servants who served him when they had nothing to do, so it wasn't strange for the mayor to be alone here.
Quickly walking into the main hall, Uncle Tian was still thinking about whether he should find a suitable opportunity to report about the two freaks, Zuo Feng and his sister. But before he could even open his mouth, An Xiong spoke first.
"Elder Tian, I'm afraid Yan City is going to fall into chaos."
After hearing the mayor's words, Uncle Tian completely threw the matter of Zuo Feng and his sister to the back of his mind. To be able to alarm the mayor to go into seclusion and make the mayor say the words "Yan City is going to fall into chaos", this must have made Uncle Tian feel that the situation was going to be troublesome.
Ignoring the shocked expression on Uncle Tian's face, An Xiong continued to speak, "The city gates to the city are to be reported in the evening. There is a mysterious old woman holding a black magic stone in her hand."
Upon hearing the three words "Dark Mirage Stone", Uncle Tian's body visibly straightened a bit. This was because his body had instinctively tensed up when he heard these three words. However, he quickly recovered from the shock and immediately asked: "Are you sure? "It can be confirmed that it is the Dark Illusion Stone?"
"Although the guards at the city gate only saw a rough outline, from their descriptions, I believe that sixty to seventy percent of them should be the legendary Black Magic Stone." An Xiong said with a heavy tone.
"If someone who possesses a black magic stone really comes to Yan City, I'm afraid that we won't be able to handle it. I'm afraid that we'll have to inform the higher-ups of Ye Lin Empire as soon as possible." Uncle Tian frowned and suggested.
"It's better to wait and see for now. I hope she's just passing by to take a break." As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, we won't be in contact with her for the time being. "Right now, you'll temporarily command the City Lord's Mansion's Internal Guard and the Shadow Squad. I've already arranged for people from the City Lord's Mansion to stand guard over the city guard, so we'll first wait and see how things turn out."
Uncle Tian nodded slightly after hearing An Xiong's words. "Then I'll go gather the palace guards to brief everyone."
"Hmm, be careful not to mention too much to them."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Then go, I want to be alone."
Uncle Tian stood up and left. After leaving the meeting hall, his heart felt like it had been pressed down by a giant boulder. He had long since forgotten about Zuo Feng and his sister, so now was not the time to think about these things.
At this moment, the biggest underground exchange in Yan City was in chaos. Since its establishment, no one had ever dared to come here and cause trouble. However, today's situation had proven something, 'It's not that no one is going to kick this metal board, but it depends on who the person who kicked this iron board is.'
In the large hall of the underground exchange, a person was standing like a tofu towards an iron plate. However, from the outside, this person looked like an old woman in her prime.
The hall was bustling with activity, the business in the side chamber had long been terminated. The normally arrogant and arrogant people were now like frightened birds. They didn't even dare to raise their heads and quickly leave the Exchange. More than ten people also came out from the Exchange and helped the injured people to heal.
The normally vicious looking burly man had a flattering smile on his face. He rubbed his hands together as he spoke to the old woman, "May I ask …. Cough, Senior, what do you need from this exchange? "
The old woman was clearly disgusted by the big man's appearance, but she still said in a lukewarm manner, "What can a small exchange like yours have? I will take a liking to it."
"That's right, that's right. I wonder what can we do to help the old seniors. " The brutal man immediately nodded and answered, but he was actually bitter in his heart. "A small exchange?" This is the largest exchange in several large cities. To you, it's just a small exchange. ' Although the old woman's words made her feel indignant, she didn't dare to say a single word of complaint.
"Go to your basement and take a look." The old woman said again.
"This …" The big man was clearly in a difficult position. He was only responsible for this level of the exchange market, so going to the underground secret chamber was not something he could take. Moreover, even he himself only knew of that underground chamber, but he had never entered it once.
"Hmm? "You can't?" The old woman said with some displeasure.
"Old senior, you seem to be very reasonable. "However, our underground training rooms are filled with items that are ready to be traded. I can't make that decision at all." The big man said with some difficulty.
"I am indeed very reasonable right now. Do you really want to see what I look like?" "If you can't make a decision, then call it making a decision. I don't have that much time to waste with you here." This time, the old woman didn't even bother to look at the burly man in front of her. She just coldly said one sentence and closed her eyes, no longer speaking.
The burly man had no choice but to run up to the second floor. Not long after, a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared on the second floor. From the appearance of the woman, she appeared to be around 30 years old. However, she must not be an ordinary person to be able to manage this kind of exchange. She had already heard of what had happened in the hall, but it was better not to provoke someone like that. She waited for the big man to explain to her what the old woman's intentions were, so she had no choice but to show herself.
"Senior, since you have come to this lowly place, I will bring you there since you do not mind that our secret chamber is so simple and crude." As expected of this middle-aged woman, she often came into contact with prominent people, so her words were very proper.
The old woman didn't say anything. She simply nodded her head and followed the middle-aged woman down a flight of stairs. Along the way, there were no less than four steel doors. Each of the doors was guarded by two warriors at the early Tempered Muscle stage. It was clear how important this secret room was to this exchange.
Not many people had arrived at the last door, and one could easily guess the importance of the items inside just by looking at the door. The entire door was made of fine steel, and there were a lot of magnets embedded on the surface of the door.
The beautiful woman took out three keys and inserted them into the two keyholes on the door. After twisting and turning at the same time, she inserted the third key into a hidden hole in the wall. Soon after, the sound of gears and mechanisms colliding could be heard from within the walls and door. The sound of mechanisms became louder and louder, and the steel door slowly opened up by itself.
The old woman's eyes twinkled slightly at this moment. At this moment, her cloudy eyes were much brighter than a normal person's. However, the light in his eyes faded as he turned around and walked toward the path he had come from. He did not even glance at what was in the room.
The woman was also puzzled by the old woman's actions. However, since the old woman had already left, there was no need for her to stay any longer. She turned the key back to its original position and pulled it out.
Actually, the moment the old woman opened the door, a huge amount of spirit energy rushed into the room. He realized that what he was looking for wasn't here, so how would he look at the things in the secret chamber?
Like she said, she really didn't care about the items in the exchange center. Then, the old man walked out of the exchange center.
That night, the entire Yan City was in chaos. Wherever the secret chamber was embedded with magnetic spirit stones, the mysterious old woman would pay attention to it. She didn't waste any time with useless words. She simply turned around and left the room the moment the doors opened. No one knew where this old woman came from, but they knew one thing. They could not afford to offend this mysterious old woman in front of them.
