Cloudrise City is a border city of the Boundless Realm.
Resources are extremely scarce, and we must rely on imports from other city powers.
Therefore, the forces that control the import routes and resources of Cloudrise City.
Apart from the City Lord's Manor of Cloudrise City, which accounts for 50%,
The remaining 50% was distributed among the three major Aristocratic Clan of Cloudrise City.
They are the Li Lineage, the Kang Lineage, and the Yang Lineage!
Both the Li Lineage and Kang Lineage joined powerful external forces because they had exceptionally talented members within their Lineage.
therefore.
The two companies each accounted for 20%!
The remaining ten percent belongs to the Yang Lineage.
But now.
The Li Lineage and Kang Lineage were not satisfied; they wanted to swallow up the remaining ten percent of the Yang Lineage as well!
This left the Yang Lineage with no other choice.
They chose a marriage of convenience.
Marry Yang Yuwan, the youngest princess of the Yang Lineage, into the Dragonrise City Lord's Manor in Lincheng!
That is, the Long Lineage!
Only in this way can we protect our own interests.
With the support of Dragonrise City!
Obviously.
This is something neither the Li Lineage nor the Kang Lineage wants to see.
And at this moment.
Inside the main house of the Yang Lineage.
The current head of the Yang Lineage, Yang Zhenhuai, has learned through the sound transmission jade pendant that Yang Qi and his group were ambushed in a valley in the Boundary Mountain!
Fortunately, the other party did not succeed.
While relieved, Yang Zhenhuai's face turned quite grim!
Has the other party become this audacious in public?
Yang Zhenhuai raised his head and looked at the two middle-aged men sitting calmly drinking tea at the table below him.
He sneered and said, "It seems someone has finally had enough? Are they so afraid of our Yang Lineage forming a marriage alliance with the Long Lineage?"
These two middle-aged men.
He was renowned throughout Cloudrise City!
It's safe to say that there are very few people in Cloudrise City who don't know them.
These are the people currently involved in the Li Lineage and Kang Lineage!
Li Man and Kang Shicheng.
Like Yang Zhenhuai, he was Half-Emperor Realm expert!
Li Man and Kang Shicheng's expressions did not change at all upon hearing Yang Zhenhuai's sarcasm.
He paused slightly in his teacup, then put it down.
Kang Shicheng smiled and said calmly, "It must have harmed the interests of others, Brother Yang. Would you like our two families to help us investigate who did it?"
Seeing Kang Shicheng's behavior, Yang Zhenhuai tapped his fingers rhythmically on the wooden table.
"Oh? You guys are really that kind?"
Li Man chuckled and said, "Brother Yang, you're mistaken. Although our three families don't get along normally, we must unite against a common enemy at times like this!"
"Therefore, you don't need to stand on ceremony with us, otherwise it will create distance."
Obviously.
Li Man's words indicated that she did not want to admit that they were responsible for the incident.
It was done by outsiders!
Before things completely fall apart.
Kang Shicheng and Li Man could not possibly admit it.
When word got out, it didn't do their families a good job of maintaining their reputations.
not to mention.
This is also a slap in the face to the Long Lineage of Dragonrise City!
The Long Lineage are the city lords of Dragonrise City.
Their power is naturally far greater than theirs.
Yang Zhenhuai didn't expect them to admit it.
A sinister smile played on his lips, and a chilling glint flashed in his eyes!
His cold gaze swept over the two old foxes before him, and he said indifferently, "Then thank you for your kindness, but if I find out anything, or if anything happens to Yu Wan..."
"Our Yang Lineage will fight to the bitter end, even if it means the destruction of our Lineage!"
Li Man and Kang Shicheng also raised their eyes.
Without flinching, she met Yang Zhenhuai's icy gaze.
Although there was no trace of anything amiss.
However, the overall atmosphere in the Yang Lineage was warm!
At this moment, everything seemed to have dropped considerably...
On the other side.
Yang Yuwan's convoy was still two days away from Dragonrise City.
Because all the guards were dead.
Therefore, the Scale Armor Mercenary Group remained vigilant and protected their surroundings!
Ye Qiubai and his two companions remained vigilant, their auras constantly scanning their surroundings.
Unless it's Emperor Realm expert coming here personally.
They will likely discover it immediately.
As Yang Yuwan, inside the carriage, drew closer to Dragonrise City, the worry on her face deepened.
There was a sense of unease in his eyes!
Although.
She herself agreed to the arranged marriage.
But when it really came to that point...
I also reflect on myself and what the future holds.
She couldn't see the road ahead.
Because the road ahead was shrouded in a thick, gray fog!
Perhaps it was to suppress the sorrow in her heart.
He took the initiative and asked, "Brother Xiao Hei, where are you from?"
Xiao Hei closed its eyes, sensing whether there was murderous intent in its surroundings.
Now, upon hearing Yang Yuwan's words, he opened his eyes and said, "We come from a place called the Wilderness Realm."
Outsiders!
Yang Qi couldn't help but look at Xiao Hei and the other two.
Are the talents of those from outside the realm really that high?
because.
They hold a ingrained view.
That is, the innate strength of the Boundless Realm must be higher than that of other domains!
Those so-called geniuses from other realms came to the Boundless Realm.
He can only be considered an ordinary cultivator with average talent...
But Ye Qiubai and his two companions were clearly more than that.
Even within Cloudrise City, Yang Qi believed that no other young talent could match their abilities!
Even the one in the City Lord's Manor.
That won't work either...
However, Yang Yuwan didn't show any discrimination. Instead, she asked with curiosity, " The Wilderness Realm? I've never heard of it. What kind of place is it?"
What kind of place?
Xiao Hei stammered, "The difference... shouldn't be that big, right?"
Not much difference?
Yang Qi was taken aback. "Could it be that the strength of the Wilderness Realm is similar to that of the Boundless Realm? How could such an existence exist in the Low-Latitude Realm?"
Ye Qiubai rolled his eyes.
Xiao Hei is a body cultivator.
It does not require Spiritual Qi.
Therefore, for him, the density of Spiritual Qi is irrelevant.
However, he himself couldn't be bothered to explain.
It has nothing to do with him.
Yang Yuwan chatted with Xiao Hei the whole way.
However, it's usually Yang Yuwan who asks the questions, and Xiao Hei who answers.
After all, Xiao Hei is quite dull-witted.
Asking him to initiate conversation is pointless; he might as well go kill some Devil Beast!
soon.
It's only a day's journey to Dragonrise City.
Yang Yuwan sighed, "We're almost there..."
Xiao Hei asked, "Since you really don't want to get married, then why don't you just not get married?"
Yang Yuwan gave a wry smile and said, " Xiao Hei, some things aren't that simple. If we had your talent, we wouldn't have come this far."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Ye Qiubai and Shi Sheng suddenly opened their eyes!
He stood up!
Yang Qi and He Lin asked at the same time, "What happened?"
Ye Qiubai looked ahead and said softly, "Get ready, a very powerful cultivator is heading this way, probably... oh, he's already here."
