In True Immortal Yongheng's mouth, this breath was fleeting, but it was extremely powerful and caused quite a sensation.
Several Nascent Soul True Immortal have already gone to the scene to investigate, and even attracted the attention of the Star Palace.
Star Palace rarely pays attention to the local affairs of Central Province. Most of the time, these matters are left to Thirty-Six First-Tier Cities to handle.
Above Thirty-Six Cities, there is a Central Province manager Council of Elders, which is responsible for the management of the entire Central Province.
Council of Elders can formulate various rules, and can also appoint and remove city leaders. It feels like the management authority is much greater than Cultivator Alliance of Dongsheng.
At the very least, Cultivator Alliance cannot appoint or remove the talkers of the Twelve Greats force.
But this is not the case. There is Star Palace above Council of Elders, and Star Palace is the real manager of Central Province's affairs.
It's just that Star Palace usually doesn't take care of much, delegating most of the power to Council of Elders, and is quite aloof and mysterious.
But it is not necessarily the case that Council of Elders is completely indifferent. Star Palace's important decisions must be approved by the Star Palace.
Therefore, many city owners in first-tier cities ignored Council of Elders and contacted Star Palace directly.
Just like Huo Jiujian, it is said that he is the city lord of Great Leaf City, but in fact he was born in the Star Palace.
A slightly more vivid metaphor is: Council of Elders is like a puppet emperor, a stamping machine.
And Star Palace is the Supreme Emperor who holds real power, but this Supreme Emperor really does very little.
Even more transcendent than Star Palace is Four Sages Mountain, who barely cares about mundane affairs.
But once Four Sages Mountain expressed his stance, even Star Palace had to weigh it, and the insignificant matters were passed directly.
Anyway, the power structure of Central Province is quite subtle.
The real power over local management is in the hands of the Thirty-Six First-Tier Cities city lord.
However, Star Palace is not completely decentralizing power. They have assigned various observers in various places.
These personnel basically have no law enforcement power. Their specific responsibility is to communicate with subordinates.
But this situation has little to do with public opinion. In the final analysis, the main goal of the Star Palace and Four Sages Mountain is the upper bound! Cangwu Realm As long as it's not messy, Order is fine, and Five Great Factions won't care much about it.
But there must be observers. In addition to ensuring a general grasp of public sentiment, the key is to understand all kinds of important information.
For example, wherever there are ancient ruins, there may be treasures of heaven and earth...
For Five Great Factions, who is dedicated to contacting the upper world, those scarce resources that may impress the upper world should be paid close attention to.
The abnormal smell that occurred at the boundary between Great Leaf City and Xiangyuan City attracted the attention of the Star Palace observers.
If it's an ordinary abnormality, forget it. The key is that aura. Many people think that it is beyond the Nascent Soul Realm!
So at the first opportunity, Star Palace sent an order to strictly investigate this aura, and investigators would be dispatched soon.
Qu Jianlei knew as soon as he heard it that this was definitely caused by Dao Stele.
But this is normal. The grade of Dao Stele is definitely at least the Void Refinement level.
Broken Blade, or even Broken Axe, should also be ranked behind it... and they are very far apart.
However, when True Immortal Yongheng revealed this news, he did not think that Red Leaf Ridge might be related to this matter - this is too ridiculous.
He just said that this was most likely a change in Heavenly Demon. After all, it was almost impossible for a treasure of this level to appear in Central Province.
So currently... Great Leaf City and Xiangyuan City are both defending, saying that the abnormal movement occurred in the other party's area.
This thing feels a bit ridiculous, at least it doesn't match the fairy tales that Qu Jianlei has read.
Since it may be chance, why not emphasize that it is on one's own territory?
But before Qu Jianlei could ask, True Immortal Yongheng gave an explanation: There is almost no such thing as pie in the sky!
Cultivator also understands probability - even if you don't understand it, if you live long enough and see enough, you will naturally understand it.
The key is that once these two cities dare to claim this opportunity and think it belongs to them, they will face a big problem.
What if, what if, maybe, maybe... this opportunity does not exist? They can report it truthfully, but the question is, will Star Palace believe it? This aura has alarmed too many people, and it cannot be hidden.
Central Province The current situation is like this.
No one knows what to say, but everyone knows it. So, whoever wants to seize this opportunity will have to bear the consequences.
If you can seize the opportunity, it's easy to talk about it, but if you can't seize it, how will you explain it to the Star Palace?
At that time, you will have to pay out of your own pocket - you really didn't get it, please understand.
But what will Star Palace comers think? "You've got a great opportunity, so just use this to get rid of me. Who are you looking down on?"
Based on this understanding, Great Leaf City and Xiangyuan City unanimously identified that their auras were in each other's area.
True Immortal Yongheng was a bit dumbfounded when he talked about this, "Now City Lord Huo is almost starting to fight with the other party."
"Great Leaf City's financial situation is a little better than Xiangyuan's, but you can't be taken advantage of like this even if you have money."
However, this was not his original intention when he said this, it was just a hot topic in the near future.
The point is, because the pressure brought by the Star Palace's attention is too great, it is necessary for City Lord Huo to take the initiative to prove his innocence.
Therefore, he released a large number of manpower to strictly investigate various abnormal matters within the territory.
Ordinarily this is not a big deal. City Lord Huo already knows that when Red Leaf Ridge meets someone, he will naturally avoid related taboos.
But the trick is that Xiangyuan City doesn't want to bear the blame. They insist that this is not something that happened to them!
Probably because of the economical quality of Xiangyuan, it is inferior to Great Leaf City.
So they must pass the blame and say that the incident happened in the jurisdiction of Great Leaf City - we will not pay this money.
So Xiangyuan City also sent an investigation team to Great Leaf City.
Within the scope of Great Leaf City, they do not have the right to take action as a matter of course, and they still have to respect local rules.
But no matter what, they are in the City Lord's Mansion system after all, and as long as they don't offend their colleagues, they can still make a difference.
However, City Lord Huo thinks more: Will you investigate according to the rules? Don't you want to frame me? The other party may not do this, but it is necessary to be on guard against others.
So Great Leaf City began to arrange manpower to "cooperate" with the team Xiangyuan City came to investigate.
Coincidentally, City Lord Huo also sent a team to Xiangyuan City's side to conduct an investigation.
They are all human beings who have lived for thousands of years. Once they encounter something, their reactions are basically the same.
Because these things require a large number of manpower, Great Leaf City has begun to temporarily recruit personnel from various forces.
True Immortal Yongheng believes that it can be expected that the large-scale investigation will not take a long time, but it may cause some variables.
The current investigation team is mainly concentrated at the junction of the two major cities, but if there is no harvest, it will be extended deeper.
It is almost certain that there will be no harvest. How can such a strong atmosphere of uncertainty be so honest?
If it is not captured at the first time, it is basically impossible to determine its whereabouts.
If there were no such pessimistic expectations, Great Leaf City and Xiangyuan City would not blame each other - who doesn't want opportunities? So as the investigation deepens, it is basically inevitable that it will spread to Yellow Earth Ridge.
What is certain is that there are so many Nascent Soul Realm gathered here that it may attract corresponding attention.
True Immortal Yongheng has lived long enough and has seen enough things. Based on his prediction, he will find out here in about two days.
After Qu Jianlei sent him away, he looked at the four detained Nascent Soul Realm, "Are you willing to be discovered by people like this?"
There is no need to ask this question at all. As the top existence of Central Province, how can you be willing to be seen in such a mess? However, except for the four True Immortal, whose faces were a little ugly, no one answered - it was really embarrassing.
Four or five seconds later, Flying Peng True Immortal actually smiled and said, "Boss, we actually have the same idea."
In fact, it is not difficult to judge. The eleven Nascent Soul Realm on the opposite side have never been seen before, so these people must pay more attention to keeping their identities confidential.
What's rare is that Social Butterfly actually said it in a very relaxed tone, and did not forget to call the other party "boss".
Qu Jianlei didn't mean to deny it, that would be too insulting to the other person's intelligence.
He nodded casually, "In that case, let's wait one more day. If Heavenly Expanse doesn't come at noon tomorrow, Yao Li will open."
The three Nascent Soul Realm remained silent. They all knew that since Yao Li was opened, their freedom would be restricted even more tightly.
But can they object? That would be truly humiliating oneself.
At this moment, their moods were quite complicated, and they really wished they had never been to Yellow Earth Ridge.
It's okay to be detained, but now he has encountered an abnormal aura incident. This kind of luck... is really unparalleled.
Even Flying Peng True Immortal from Social Butterfly was stunned for a moment before speaking, "How many years have you been hiding your whereabouts?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at him and didn't answer.
Instead, Li Yuren spoke in a deep voice, "We didn't intentionally hide our whereabouts. You will know later."
He also knew very well that the Ridge Lord Qu group had long planned to come to Central Province for development.
When they leave, the competition for Red Leaf Ridge Tier 4 Spirit Vein should start between the Li Family and Zhu Family.
Of course, this is just a preliminary intention. It is hard to say whether it will come true or not, and the date is even more uncertain.
But now Red Leaf Ridge has a foothold in Central Province, and Star Palace does not reject this group of people. It is only a matter of time before they take the lead.
Anyway, he was very sure that Ridge Lord Qu's team was just keeping a low profile and was not hiding their heads.
"Isn't it intentional?" A trace of confusion flashed across Flying Peng True Immortal's eyes, and then he made the request.
"Can we be a little more dignified when we leave?"
However, Li Yuren's answer was, "It's not yet tomorrow noon, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Could it be that, as friends of fellow Daoist Heavenly Expanse, you have no confidence in him at all?"
Inadvertently speaking like a knife, he really deserves to be from a big family.
