C1466 Zhao Yan
After Jiang Ting heard about the identity of the newcomer, his mood immediately sank. In Demon Sealing City, the only person his Zhang Family couldn't deal with was probably Zhao Yan.
Was it a coincidence or a deliberate plot?
Jiang Ting's mind was filled with thoughts, but he still clasped his fists on the surface: "Jiang Ting greets City Lord."
"Little friend, there is no need to be so courteous."
Zhao Yan paused for a moment before chuckling, "I noticed Yu Fei's sneak attack just now, and I was so angry that I decided to lend you a hand. Please don't misunderstand."
In fact, Zhao Yan was secretly a little surprised. He realized that he had underestimated Jiang Ting.
Actually, he had already arrived here three days ago. He was originally planning to reveal himself, but upon discovering that Yu Fei was present as well and sensing something was amiss between the two, he chose not to reveal himself.
He also saw the map fragment!
If it was a normal situation, he wouldn't mind taking the fragment, but Jiang Ting's status was different, Jiang Ting was a Tier 8 Heavenly Pill Refiner with the lowest status. Comparatively, he wanted to use the abilities of the Heavenly Pill Refiner behind Jiang Ting to help him advance to a higher stage.
Although the map fragment was not ordinary, he was already a Tier 7 god, and it was not as attractive to him as the pill refiner behind Jiang Ting. Previously, when the two of them attacked, he was worried that they would attract other people's attention, so he secretly suppressed Yu Fei's God Power with pressure.
According to his original plan, he would only appear an hour or two after Yu Fei's death. However, he did not expect Jiang Ting to be so vigilant. From Yu Fei's lack of resistance, he deduced that there might be others here.
Therefore, he showed up, appearing as if he didn't even know what the map fragment was.
"Many thanks City Lord for your help." Jiang Ting cupped his fist in thanks, while he felt a little puzzled.
Even though Zhao Yan didn't seem to have seen the map fragment, Jiang Ting thought that it was impossible.
Yu Fei's sneak attack happened to be at the time when he was giving out the fragment. Since Zhao Yan saw Yu Fei's sneak attack, he must have seen the map fragment … The secret left behind by the Celestial King was unattractive to Zhao Yan?
Impossible.
Unless Zhao Yan showed up and had some sort of secret.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ting suddenly thought of something … Dan Heng had previously said that the reason why Zhao Yan didn't interfere with the grudges between the two families was because the so-called master that he pulled the skin of a tiger was at least a Grade Eight Divine Alchemist master. Zhao Yan also had spies within the Zhang Family.
Then... If everything went according to plan, it wasn't that the shard didn't attract Zhao Yan, but rather the shard and the so-called Divine Alchemist. Zhao Yan believed that the Divine Alchemist was even more important.
Thinking about this, Jiang Ting's mood relaxed a little. Luckily, he had imitated an extremely powerful master, otherwise, Zhao Yan would have smiled and taken the fragment for himself.
Zhao Yan spoke slowly, "You look happy, but what do you want?"
"Nothing." Jiang Ting instantly regained his senses. At the same time, his face became calm as he suppressed all the thoughts in his mind.
As a rank 7 god, Zhao Yan's ability to sense his emotions and observe his face was terrifying. However, he was only able to reveal some obscure marks before he was discovered. If he continued to be careless, many more secrets would be revealed.
After completely suppressing his emotions, Jiang Ting cupped his fist and said: "I presume that the City Lord has something to tell Jiang Ting?"
"I was just passing by."
After pausing for a moment, Zhao Yan turned around and slowly left, "The reason why I showed up earlier was because I couldn't stand Yu Fei's sneak attack. Since little friend is fine, I will leave first."
Zhao Yan was not anxious. Although he wanted to get to know the person behind Jiang Ting, he knew he had to be patient.
It was enough for him to leave an impression on Jiang Ting when he showed up. He had a lot of time to make friends with him as long as Jiang Ting was still in Demon Sealing City.
With his position as the city lord, it would be easy for him to strike up a relationship with him.
Right now, the most important thing to do was to beat up Zhang Family in order to prevent them from doing something unpredictable. Although he hoped that the Zhang Family would do something wrong so that he could find an excuse to immediately destroy the Zhang Family, since Jiang Ting had joined the Zhang Family, he would not do anything to the Zhang Family unless it was absolutely necessary.
At least, before they became friends, he wouldn't deal with Zhang Family in order to not affect his friendship.2
On the other side.
When Zhao Yan's figure disappeared, Jiang Ting's expression darkened, "I wonder if attracting Zhao Yan's attention is a blessing or a curse."
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ting turned around and left: "Forget it, since we have obtained the fragment, we should hurry up and leave Demon Sealing City … Previously, I was prepared to leave in secret, but now, it seems like it won't work.
The people from Zhang Family were not watching him, so it was not difficult for him to leave in secret. It was just that he had already attracted Zhao Yan's attention. He might not care much about the great benefits that the Zhang Family had obtained, but what about Zhao Yan?
Sneakily leaving meant one's guilt. By then, Zhao Yan would be able to see through the truth. With his genuine strength as a Level 7 God … Jiang Ting didn't think that he could run far, and he still needed to go to other cities to plan out more map fragments.
Therefore, he could only leave openly for a certain reason. Fortunately, a reason was not hard to find. As long as a reason was good, who could investigate whether it was real or fake?
The main entrance to the Zhang Family Palace.
Just as Jiang Ting walked to the front door, he saw a burly man, whose entire body was covered in black armor, walk out of the Zhang Family Palace. The burly man looked at Jiang Ting, and quickly left without saying a word.
Perhaps it was the burly man. His entire body was covered in black armor, making it impossible to see his true appearance.
"This black armor …" Jiang Ting lowered his head and thought for a moment. When he first entered Demon Sealing City, he had been at a tavern asking information about the city for three days. He had heard about the city in those three days.
Other than the guards in the City Lord's Mansion, there was also a guard that was only loyal to the mayor. That guard team was dressed in black armor, and as for the exact number of guards, it was said that other than the mayor, no one else knew.
"Why have the black armored guards come to the Zhang Family …" Jiang Ting shook his head and ignored Ye Zichen's question.
No matter what he was here for, it had nothing to do with him. If he were to return to Zhang Family now, he would be bidding farewell to Zhang Yuze. At that time, even if Zhao Yan were to fight with Zhang Family, it would be unrelated to him.
After returning to the Zhang Family Palace, Jiang Ting discovered that he seemed to have come back a little early. The Zhang Family Palace was currently very quiet, and other than the guards and servants that were used to ensure that the place wasn't empty, there were very few disciples in the Zhang Family Palace.
It was also true that the Li Family had not been completely annihilated at the moment. The Zhang Family experts were still at the Li Family's side cleaning up the mess, it would be strange if there were more people at the Zhang Family.
"Looks like I'll have to wait for a few more days." Jiang Ting didn't leave the Zhao Family with a whisper. Instead, he returned to his own garden.
