Chapter 1922



1922 The only hope

Yunxiao nodded. it has indeed been a long time. Is this rule related to spirit energy? ”

He had already guessed it from the conversation between the Qi family members.

“It is!”

in the past few years, Yanwu’s spiritual energy has been insufficient to make ends meet, ” the guard hurriedly said. it’s depleting at an alarming rate. If this continues, I’m afraid it won’t be long before it declines. That’s why the city Lord’s mansion set this rule in order to delay the depletion of the city’s spiritual energy.”

who is the current city Lord of Yanwu? ” Yunxiao asked. who is it? ”

it’s still Lord li Yunxiao, ” the guard said. it’s him. His face was somewhat radiant, and he seemed to be very proud. “Since Lord li Yunxiao left Yanwu, the city Lord has not appointed a new person. Besides, no one will be convinced no matter who is in charge of Yanwu except Lord li Yunxiao.”

Although these people had never seen Yunxiao before, he had become famous in the past few years, and everyone in Yanwu knew him and was proud of him.

Yunxiao sighed in his heart, thinking that Yanwu still remembered him so well even though he had not returned for many years.

you can take these vitality stones. Since there is such a rule in the city, I naturally can not violate it.

Yunxiao threw the primordial stone back. As the city Lord, he could not openly violate the rules even if they were inappropriate. Not to mention, the fact that such a rule had been set showed that Yanwu was in an extremely difficult situation at the moment. As the city Lord, he had to bear some responsibility.

“I wouldn’t dare!”

The guard was shocked. These were Supreme-grade primordial stones, and the other party’s background must be extremely great. How could he dare to take them? He was about to return when he suddenly found that Yunxiao had disappeared into thin air.

“Ah?”

The guard was completely dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes and almost thought that he had seen wrongly. However, there were also sounds of bewilderment and gasps all around. In addition, the Supreme-grade primordial stones in his hands were still heavy.

The guard hurriedly jumped onto the chariot and went into the city. He shouted, ” let that man go. You guys keep order. I’ll go report to the city Lord’s mansion.

In the city Lord’s mansion, many high-level officials, including Li Chunyang and the others, were gathered.

Jia Rong had also rushed over and reported the increase in the difference in the spiritual energy this month. Everyone looked worried.

“The control of martial artists has been further tightened this month,” li ZhangFeng said.”The number of martial artists who have settled in is less than one-third of last month’s. In fact, with Yanwu’s current situation, even if it doesn’t shrink, very few people will come here.”

“This phenomenon may be our last chance,” Li Chunyang sighed. If we can’t find the source of spiritual Qi, it’ll be useless no matter how much we delay.”

Everyone was dejected. Yanwu had developed extremely fast in the past few years, and no one was willing to accept the feeling of falling from the peak.

there’s no such thing as eternal prosperity in the world, ” Li Chunyang said. even the seven superpowers will decline one day. We just came here earlier than them. It’s good that everyone did their best.”

Xiao qingwang stroked his beard and said slowly, ” “If we still fail to find the source of the spiritual energy, I suggest we open the restrictions on Yanwu. After all, it’s meaningless to delay it for another day. And now, there are still many forces in the dark, fighting for control of Yanwu. How naive.”

“Hmph! It’s all because of the heavenly jewel sect and the emotion severing mountain. There must be someone behind these two sects, or else they would have been destroyed by us long ago.”

but even if Yanwu’s spiritual energy is exhausted, this is still the foundation established by Yunxiao! We can’t give it to them! li Changfeng said angrily.

there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Yanwu, ” Xiao qingwang said. many sects may look simple, but they all have the backing of major sects from other regions, and they all want to occupy the treasure land and get a share. The heavenly jewel sect and the emotion severing mountain are both big sects in the southern region, it’s not strange for them to be used as puppets. There are even some other small sects that are secretly trying to seize power.”

there’s no need to fear these clowns, ” li ZhangFeng sneered. as long as cloudsky is in power for one day, these clowns won’t dare to act rashly.

A look of surprise flashed in Li Chunyang’s eyes as he looked at him and said, ” “I can’t believe you’re so smart.”

“Father, am I that stupid?” li ZhangFeng asked, annoyed. With our current strength, even the heavenly jewel sect and the emotion severing mountain can’t kill us, and they still dare to go against us. Everyone knows that there’s someone behind them, but they’re afraid of Yunxiao’s power, so they don’t dare to reveal it. ”

Li Chunyang nodded and said, ” you’re right. These people are just clowns. They don’t need our concern. The only thing we need to pay attention to is the spiritual energy. After the last phenomenon, we made a promise that whoever could find the source of spiritual energy would give the eastern city of Yanwu to them. Unfortunately, we returned without success. Should we increase our stakes this time?”

Xiao qingwang frowned and said, ” How can we increase it? are we going to give up half of the city?”

I agree with you, qingwang, ” Jia Rong said. a quarter of the city is tempting enough. If we can find it, we should. If we can’t, we won’t be able to find it even if we give up the entire city.

“This might not be the case!”

A man in a brocade robe, who had been sipping tea on the left, suddenly spoke.

He slowly put down the cup of tea and said, ” you must know that although Yanwu is coveted by many sects, it’s only a strategic consideration. They don’t really want to take it all. ‘As you said, as long as Yunxiao continues to be all-powerful, no one will dare to take this cake. Therefore, even if he was looking for spiritual energy, he was only trying. After all, Yanwu is not the foundation of the major sects. If we can’t make it, we can just retreat. However, if you are willing to give up more of your power, it will definitely attract the attention of many parties, and the search will be more intense.”

Li Chunyang looked at the man in the brocade robe, snorted coldly, and said, ” Qian Duoduo, is this your idea, or your money gang’s? and how much power do you think is appropriate for Yanwu? ”

The man in embroidered clothes was Qian Duoduo. Although he had been cultivating in Yanwu, he was still the young master of money gang. After his strength broke through to martial honor, he had returned to money gang and made a big scene.

When he returned to Yanwu, he was already at the peak of martial honor. Now, he had broken through to the three-star Martial Emperor realm and become a Lord of a region, his fame unparalleled in the southern region.

Moreover, with the return of Qian Duoduo, money sect had also opened a branch in Yanwu, directly putting their influence into the city and competing with Tianyuan trading company.

Before the great change in the merchant Union, the Li family’s attitude was to join forces with Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce to suppress money gang.

Although Qian Duoduo was a friend, he was also a businessman. There would be conflicts of interest as a businessman, and he wasn’t willing to let Qian Wudi inherit the gang leader position. If he wanted to build his own force, he had to fight for enough resources.

After the great changes in the merchant Union, ding Shan took power, and all the people of Tianyuan trading company in Yanwu were replaced. Their attitude toward the entire city had also changed.

At this time, the Li family also judged the situation and immediately formed an alliance with the money gang to fight against Tianyuan trading company.

It was a pity that Tianyuan trading company had taken root in Yanwu too deeply, and with its current momentum, the Li family and money gang had always been at a disadvantage in the business field.

Qian Duoduo could tell that Li Chunyang was extremely displeased, so he smiled and said, ” “Old master, don’t be angry. This is called” if you can’t give up the child, you won’t be able to trap the wolf.” Since Yanwu was already in such a state, why not give it a try? I can’t make the decision on the allocation of resources. If the city of Yanwu is willing to give up half of its power and cede control of the South and North cities, I’ll have the confidence to ask for help from the money gang, and then I’ll be able to mobilize a large number of resources for exploration. If it’s only the East City, I’ve already told the higher-ups, but they’re not interested at all.”

Li ZhangFeng immediately jumped up and objected. “In your dreams! The north and south are the most prosperous areas of Yanwu. If I give it to you, I’ll be giving up the entire city!”

Qian Duoduo took a sip of the fragrant tea and shook his head.”Then this is difficult. Just Dongcheng’s words alone will not be able to move my father and the others.”

young master Duoduo is right. It’s obviously impossible to make all the great Shang clans work for the eastern city alone.

An old man walked into the hall with a smile. He was short and strong, with bright eyes and a small felt hat on his head. At first glance, he looked like a shrewd merchant.

“Where are the guards?” li ZhangFeng’s face darkened. They actually neglected their duties and let wild dogs in, damn it!”

The old man was Gao Tong, the person in charge of Tianyuan trading company in Yanwu. His face twitched when he heard li Changfeng’s scolding, but he quickly recovered and said, ” “Lord Changfeng, even if you scold me in a roundabout way, you can’t save Yanwu from the current situation. I’ve controlled the cultivators to enter again and again, but the difference in spiritual energy is still increasing, hehe.”

Both li Changfeng and Jia Rong’s faces changed. They had just calculated the data today, and they didn’t expect that the other party had already known about it. Obviously, there were spies everywhere.

Gao Tong was very proud and said, ” it’s rare that young master Duoduo and I have something in common. The conditions for giving power to Dongcheng are too small and too attractive. The way to save Yanwu has always been in your hands. If you really want the city to continue, how can you not give others more benefits?”

Li Changfeng was about to scold him, but Li Chunyang stopped him and said, ” “Lord Gao Tong made it sound as if we can find the source of the spiritual Qi by giving up power.”

Gao Tong touched his beard and smiled shrewdly, ” “The last time the phenomenon of heaven and earth appeared, it was accompanied by a large amount of spiritual energy. This is an undeniable fact that everyone has seen. So, what we can be sure of is that there must be a source of spiritual energy near Yanwu. Could it be that the spiritual energy is just something that appeared out of thin air?”

Li Chunyang and the others were silent. What Gao Tong said was true. The spiritual aura could not appear out of thin air. It must have a source. However, a few years had passed, and they had not found anything.

Gao Tong said, ” I’m sure you all know the reason. Your exploration level is too low! Tianyuan trading company was now in charge of the Tianxia trading company. It had the most powerful resources in the world and was the most likely force to excavate the source of the spiritual Qi. This is Yanwu’s only hope now. Please think twice, my Lords.”
