C119 Military Order
The reason Chu Yun was heading to City Lord Mansion now was to tell Qin Wuji about Manor Master Lee .
Tianxia Money Shop was a special existence in any place. It had a huge influence and a high status. Although it wasn't an official power of the Imperial Court, it was more powerful than an official power. Anyone who wanted to have any thoughts about it had to be careful.
When they arrived at City Lord Mansion, Steward Qi welcomed them.
"I have an important matter to attend to. I need to see City Lord. "
Chu Yun cupped his hands.
Steward Qi shook his head and smiled. "Boss Chu came at the wrong time. City Lord has already left the city the day before yesterday. "
Chu Yun's brows twitched. He recalled the time when he came to see the city lord. Steward Qi seemed to have sent an urgent message to Demon Suppression House. Perhaps he had gone to deal with this matter.
"Then, when will City Lord be back?"
Chu Yun asked.
"It's hard to say. Maybe tomorrow or two days. "
Steward Qi shook his head and said.
When Chu Yun heard this, he was a little disappointed, but he could only nod his head and turn around to leave.
. . .
That night, a black shadow wearing a shadow cloak sneaked into Tianxia Money Shop.
This figure was naturally Chu Yun.
Regarding the matter of the Soul Stone, the meridians were already very clear. In the hands of the Tianxia Money Shop, there was the location of almost all the ore veins in the Linghai Giant City, as well as the information of what kind of ore they produced.
As long as Chu Yun could get the account book regarding the loan of the mines, he would be able to find the source of all the Linghai Giant Cities in the Linghai Giant City. In this way, he didn't even need to do anything else. As long as he could find the actual controller of each mine, he would be able to find out who was colluding with the demons in the Linghai Giant City.
The matter was that simple.
Manor Master Lee wasn't willing to lend him the account book. Perhaps it had something to do with this matter, or perhaps it was because he didn't want to reveal the secret, or perhaps there were other reasons, but none of these mattered.
The most important thing was to find out who was the traitor.
Under the night sky.
Chu Yun's figure was like a ghost, shuttling back and forth between the pavilions and courtyards.
As the only bank in Celestial Secret Dynasty, although Tianxia Money Shop was doing business, its own strength was also extremely terrifying. Its defense was extremely tight, and the number of sentries patrolling at night was innumerable. Compared to the Sun Family, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. There were even many places that were protected by Formations all year round.
"It's not easy. . . "
Chu Yun hid on top of a roof. He looked at the fortress that led to the underground and exhaled slowly.
After some investigation, he found out that there were two places in Tianxia Money Shop that were the most heavily guarded.
One was the treasure vault of the Tianxia Money Shop.
The second was the accounts.
The former stored all the treasures of Tianxia Money Shop, while the latter stored all kinds of important accounts and documents.
The fortress that led to the underground was the place where the account books were stored.
However, the defense was too tight.
There was only one entrance and exit, and it was heavily guarded. With the protection of the Formation, there was no possibility of sneaking in.
"If we force our way in, we will inevitably have to start a massacre. . . "
Chu Yun pondered for a long time, and finally decided to attack the east and west. He would go somewhere else and make some noise, attracting the guards over.
But. . .
Just as he was about to move his feet, his heart suddenly sank.
Because on the roof in front of him, a stooped old man dressed in black appeared out of nowhere, and on the two sides of the roof behind him, another two similarly dressed black figures appeared.
"Hu. . . "
Chu Yun slowly exhaled. His expression could not be seen under the shadow cloak, and those three old men's expressions could not be seen either.
Very strong.
Although he had yet to make a move, Chu Yun could feel an extremely sharp aura coming from these three old men, like a sharp blade.
Without a doubt, these three old men were definitely warriors who had fought hundreds of battles in the battlefield for their entire lives. The positions of these three old men resonated with each other from afar. Although they did not make any moves, they had already blocked Chu Yun's path. Whether he attacked or retreated in any direction, he would be attacked by the other two.
When Chu Yun closed his eyes, he could already imagine how the three old men would attack him. It was a very strange feeling, and those who could give him this feeling were undoubtedly the experts among the experts.
"As expected of Tianxia Money Shop, a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. . . "
Chu Yun sighed in his heart.
However, even if there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it wouldn't be so easy to keep Chu Yun here.
In the past, Chu Yun was only a Myriad Stone Stage, and he was able to break through the encirclement of the Sun's Mansion. But now, he had broken through to the Mountain Sea Stage, and his strength was even greater than before.
"Hehehe. . . "
At this moment, a faint laughter came from the courtyard. After that, a figure nimbly jumped onto the roof. It was Manor Master Lee from the Tianxia Money Shop.
He stared at Chu Yun's figure. When he saw the illusory cloak, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. He said, "I didn't expect that the person who could make Ye Cangyun suffer in the ruins was you. "
“. . . ”
Chu Yun didn't say anything because he couldn't expose his identity. Tianxia Money Shop wasn't an official power, but it was more powerful than an official power. It was against the rules for Chu Yun to be here late at night. If his identity was exposed again and Manor Master Lee found out about it, then Elemental River Pavilion would be in trouble.
But now, as long as Chu Yun wasn't caught, and his mask wasn't taken off, he wouldn't have to worry about Manor Master Lee pointing out his identity after he escaped, because Manor Master Lee wouldn't be able to provide any evidence.
"This morning, I had expected you to come, so I purposely waited here. Boss Chu, I have already said that you shouldn't get involved in this matter anymore. "
Manor Master Lee shook his head and pointed out Chu Yun's identity.
Chu Yun was not moved and said, "I came here to investigate the spies in Linghai Giant City. Manor Master Lee seems to know a lot about this, but he is not willing to cooperate. Could it be that you and that Sun Family are the same race?"
"Not really. "
Manor Master Lee shook his head again. After a pause, he said, "Regarding this matter, there are many things that I don't want to say. You shouldn't know, and you shouldn't ask anymore. However, I want to advise you not to continue. "
"Oh?"
Chu Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled. He said, " Then, what position did Manor Master Lee use to persuade me?"
"Spectator, that's all. "
Manor Master Lee said.
Chu Yun snorted and said, "You know the inside story, but you did not reveal it. You helped the spy in Linghai Giant City hide it, and now you tell me you are just a bystander?"
"That's right. "
Manor Master Lee nodded and sighed. "Boss Chu, he said. I admire people like you, but in this world. . . Many things are not what you think about Soul Stone. I can't reveal anything about what I know to the outside world. I also do not expect you to understand my difficulties, but I will not let you continue. That's all. "
Chu Yun narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Initially, he planned to throw the situation into chaos and leave immediately, but now, he had decided to capture the leader of the bandits first. He wanted to capture Manor Master Lee and interrogate him about the information he had.
Although this action was a heinous crime in the world, no one in the Celestial Secret Dynasty dared to offend the Tianxia Money Shop. However, if Manor Master Lee was involved in the matter of collusion with the demonic devils, no one would say anything if Chu Yun made a move against him.
Just as Chu Yun was about to make his move. . .
In the distant horizon, smoke and flames soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds. It was extremely eye-catching in this dark night.
Gasps sounded out in all directions. Chu Yun glanced at the corner of his eye and was shocked in his heart.
Smoke and flames rose, seven of them!
Seven smoke signals!
The number of smoke signals represented the scale of the demon beasts' attack. If there were more than five smoke signals, it meant a large-scale invasion of the beast tide. But now, there were actually seven smoke signals rising!
Manor Master Lee turned his head to look at the horizon. The seven smoke signals were shocking to the eyes. Immediately, his palm under his sleeve clenched into a fist, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes.
But. . .
After taking a deep breath, Manor Master Lee didn't say anything.
He looked at Chu Yun and said, "It's Great Shopkeeper. Please do as you wish. "
After saying that, Manor Master Lee turned around and went down the roof. The three black-clothed old men standing around Chu Yun also went down. They were no longer surrounding Chu Yun.
Chu Yun furrowed his brows and looked at Manor Master Lee 's back. He had no idea what was going on and why Manor Master Lee would let him go so easily.
One should know that Manor Master Lee didn't understand how terrifying Chu Yun's combat strength was. In his eyes, Chu Yun had gone deep into the Tianxia Money Shop by himself and was surrounded. As long as he was willing to attack, he must have a high chance of capturing Chu Yun. However, Manor Master Lee had given up this opportunity.
But. . .
No matter what the other party thought, Chu Yun naturally wouldn't be polite. He moved his feet and disappeared into the vast darkness of the night, leaving the Tianxia Money Shop.
After a while, Chu Yun made a few circles. After making sure that no one was following him, he took off his cloak and returned to the Elemental River Pavilion.
"Great Shopkeeper, you are finally back. "
Shopkeeper Yang, Shopkeeper Song and the others had already gathered in the Elemental River Pavilion. They were chatting with each other worriedly. When they saw Chu Yun return, they finally had a backbone.
"Seven smoke signals. The beast tide is invading us. The situation is critical. Naturally, I have to rush back as soon as possible. "
As Chu Yun spoke, he slowly exhaled a breath of air.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from outside. A few cavalry stopped in front of the Elemental River Pavilion's gate and shouted, "Pass on the military order of City Lord Mansion. There is a large-scale invasion of the beast tide in Evil Spirit Mountain Range. All warriors in Linghai Giant City must immediately go to the Great Wall's defense line. Any warriors above the Critical Stage must not be absent!"
"Pass down the military order of City Lord Mansion. There is a large-scale beast tide invasion in Evil Spirit Mountain Range. All warriors in Linghai Giant City, immediately go to the Great Wall's defense line. No warriors above the Critical Stage can be absent!"
"Pass down the military order of the City Lord Mansion. There is a large-scale beast tide invasion in the Evil Spirit Mountain Range. All warriors in the Linghai Giant City, immediately head to the Great Wall's defense line. Those at the Critical Stage and above cannot be absent!"
“. . . ”2
The sound of orders was heard, and they were gradually getting further and further away, wave after wave.
Chu Yun and the people in the hall looked at each other. Shopkeeper Yang let out a sigh and said, "It's the same for any large-scale beast tide with six or more smoke signals. We need to transfer all the Critical Stage warriors from all the major powers in Linghai Giant City to the front line. This has never happened in many years. "
