Li Yunxiao's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. Everyone revealed an expression of shock as they looked at this young man. He was actually a 5-Star Martial Master. Furthermore, he gave off an unfathomable feeling, appearing very mysterious.
"Who is this brat? Could he be the City Lord? "
"It can't be, right? So young? "
"I think it's very possible. Didn't that Martial Monarch say that the City Lord is his son? His age might be just right."
"This … such a young child, this is simply nonsense!"
"Tsk, why do you care about the City Lord's age? As long as he gets the money!"
Indeed, after everyone discussed for a while, they quieted down. After all, they were mainly here for the bountiful rewards. One of the Martial Grand Masters was eager to give it a try. He stepped forward and said, "I'll answer the call!"
Li Yunxiao sized him up and smiled softly. "Peak 3-Star Martial Grand Master. Not bad, just go over there and register. "
This Martial Grand Master was shocked. He did not understand how Li Yunxiao saw through his cultivation. He walked over to Meng Wu suspiciously and filled in his name, Liu Ke. Then, he received a storage bag.
When he opened it and took a look, his eyes immediately lit up. He quickly put it away in his Spatial Ring. His expression was not calm at all.
Meng Wu waved her hand, indicating for him to move aside. Then, she called out in a pure voice, "Next."
Liu Ke was stunned and immediately asked, "Then, what should I do now?"
Meng Wu chuckled. "You can do whatever you want. You just need to register. However, you are not allowed to leave Yanwu City for a month without Young Master Yun's orders. Otherwise, you will be killed! You can find a place to stay in the city for now. When the time comes, Young Master Yun will open up a place for you to cultivate. "
A trace of shock flashed on Liu Ke's face. He muttered to himself, "Is he not afraid that I'll take the things and run away?"
The people behind him also started discussing. Isn't he too gullible? With so many people here, who would know if he took the things and ran away?
Li Yunxiao heard everyone's words and smiled noncommittally. He asked Li Changfeng to maintain order while he returned to his room to continue cultivating.
As for those who wanted to cheat him of his money, he didn't care at all. Although Yanwu City was large, it was completely covered by Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense. If someone took something and slipped away, Xiao Chen did not mind killing one to warn the others.
On the first day, he recruited over three hundred people. Among them, there were even two Martial Lords. That night, Meng Wu sent word that she had used up all of her medicinal pills and equipment. She wouldn't be able to support the recruitment the next day.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yunxiao immediately wrote two letters and asked Meng Wu and Meng Wu to send them to the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower and the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce overnight, intending to purchase a batch of first and second level profound weapons and medicinal pills at a high price urgently.
After Ding Ling 'er saw the letter, she smiled faintly. She immediately got Yu Rong to urgently prepare the stock and send it to Yanwu City as quickly as possible.
Yu Rong said worriedly, "Miss, I'm really afraid that we won't even be able to recoup our investment."
Ding Ling 'er lightly smiled, an indifferent temperament appearing on her face. "We've already given a hundred rank four items, so why care about this? Besides, he bought them at a high price, so we didn't lose anything. If we don't help him at this time and he's killed by others, then we will truly lose everything. Also, right now, I have very high hopes for him. "
Yu Rong frowned slightly, looked around vigilantly, then said softly, "Miss is referring to the Zhou family's matter?"
A strange expression flashed past Ding Ling 'er's eyes. She lightly nodded and said, "Although the news of the Zhou family's accident hasn't been sent back to the Fire Crow Empire, the powers still in Yanwu City have already received the news. It's just that I don't know who did it. Although I'm not clear as well, my intuition tells me that this matter is definitely related to that Li Yunxiao! "
Yu Rong was shocked, then said in disbelief, "Hmph. We more or less know a thing or two about that brat's strength. Isn't Miss thinking too highly of him? "
Ding Ling 'er smiled and didn't say anything. She only instructed, "Order people to send all the goods that the Myriad Treasure Merchant Guild has yet to transport over to the city lord's residence. At the same time, bring over all the rank one and two profound weapons and elixirs from the Fire Crow Empire!"
Although the Myriad Treasure Merchant Guild was holding an introduction, not all the staff had left yet. After Xu Zizhuo obtained the Lesser Yang Essence Pill's pill formula, he immediately left Yanwu City. At this moment, it was Yin Zhaoyang and Gan Deming who were in charge. After Yin Zhaoyang received the letter, he immediately ordered people to gather all the rank one and two items that the Myriad Treasure Merchant Guild had in Yanwu City. After he kept them in the ring, he immediately rushed to the city lord's residence.
"Since Elder Yin is here, why don't you come in?"
Li Yunxiao's voice came from the bedroom. Yin Zhaoyang, who was hesitating whether to knock on the door, was startled. He immediately shook his head with a bitter smile, then pushed the door and entered.
"Young Master Yun is always so unexpected. I'm afraid that even Xiao Qingwang didn't notice me."
Yin Zhaoyang walked into the room and raised his head to take a look. Immediately, his pupils shrank as he cried out involuntarily, "Five Elements Cauldron! You, Young Master Yun, as expected … "
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Originally, when he heard that something happened to the Zhou Family, his first reaction was that Li Yunxiao said he wanted to borrow the cauldron that day. However, he quickly discarded this thought. After all, the Zhou Family was not something that ordinary people could afford to offend. In addition to Yanwu City's current strength, he also did not think that they could easily defeat two Martial Kings. But now …
Li Yunxiao did not avoid him at all. At this moment, he was already immersed in the power of the five elements to cultivate. He smiled lightly and said, "What made Elder Yin so shocked?"
Yin Zhaoyang laughed bitterly and said speechlessly, "Young Master Yun is dragging me down!"
Li Yunxiao deliberately revealed the Five Elements Cauldron in front of him, clearly telling him that he robbed the Zhou Family's things and killed the Zhou Family's people. At this time, if he provided a large amount of resources to Yanwu City, he would unknowingly stand on Yanwu City's side and completely offend the Zhou Family.
Li Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "The Myriad Treasure Tower is the merchant alliance's leader, one of the Heaven Martial Continent's super forces. Why would they fear a mere Fire Crow Empire's Zhou Family?"
Yin Zhaoyang had a bellyful of bitterness but could not flare up. He could only say huffily, "The Myriad Treasure Tower naturally doesn't fear the Zhou Family. But the scope of my management is limited to the Fire Crow Empire's branch. It's not the Zhou Family's side dish at all. If the Fire Crow Empire's branch is razed by the Zhou Family, how will I explain to the higher-ups when the time comes? "
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Then you go and find Yuwen Bo. Just say that it was demolished because of me. He definitely won't blame you. You might even get a promotion. "
Upon mentioning Yuwen Bo, only then did Yin Zhaoyang seem to perk up a little. He took out a storage bag and handed it to Li Yunxiao and said, "I basically brought all of the Myriad Treasure Tower's resources in Yanwu City. A total of over seven hundred Tier 1 and Tier 2 medicinal pills and over a hundred profound weapons. Young Master Yun, if you continue recruiting like this, I dare not say about the high-end combat power, but at least the low-end combat power will probably be able to rank among the top few in the Fire Crow Empire all at once. "
Li Yunxiao put away the storage bag. "Many thanks for Elder Yin's help. I'll remember this favor. In the future, when Yunxiao gets bullied in the Fire Crow Empire, I'll need Elder Yin's help more. "
Yin Zhaoyang smiled bitterly and said, "This bag of old bones of mine doesn't have much say in the Fire Crow Empire either. As long as Young Master Yun doesn't bully others, it's fine. Young Master Yun recruiting talents so generously, aren't you afraid that many people will slip away after taking the things? "
Li Yunxiao's eyes swiveled, and he said with a smile, "Of course I'm afraid. Hence, is Elder Yin interested in making a trip out with me?"
Yin Zhaoyang's brows furrowed, and he was immediately pulled out of the City Lord Manor by Li Yunxiao without any explanation, sprinting out of the city.
Outside the city, under the cover of the night, several dozen figures were currently looking around carefully. Clearly, they wanted to borrow the night to escape. They were all martial artists who registered during the day.
Although there were people guarding outside the city gates, they were all ordinary soldiers. How could they discover them? After easily flipping over the city walls, everyone's faces revealed looks of delight.
One of them could not resist muttering, "Came out so easily. This money is really easy to swindle!"
"Isn't that so. I obtained a Tier 2 Profound Artifact, as well as ten level three medicinal pills, and a hundred pieces of high-grade essence stones. Heavens! Truly unimaginable! "
"Could it be that this Yanwu City's City Lord is a fool?"
"Whether he's a fool or not, I don't know, but he's definitely a nouveau riche! Wait until tomorrow, I'll disguise myself and change my identity before coming to get some things. "
"Good idea! We're really rich this time. "
Suddenly, a cold voice said, "Even if you're rich, you need to be alive to spend it too."
Everyone was startled and hurriedly looked forward. It was precisely Li Yunxiao standing there solemnly. Under the moonlight, he appeared cold and refined, giving people a cold and austere feeling.
"Humph! Just you alone? Want to stop us with just forty over people? If you know what's good for you, get out of the way! " One of them said coldly. They had forty over people, and there was even a Martial Monarch expert among them. As long as the other party did not pursue them with all his strength, no one would be able to stop them.
"Get out of the way?" Li Yunxiao sneered, "You took so many benefits from me. If you leave without saying goodbye, how are you any different from robbers?"
"I took your things because you're stupid! A mere Martial Master, don't think that just because you have some money, you can make me work for you. Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for being ruthless! "
The group of people immediately raised their killing intent. In an instant, a few people rushed up and slashed down.
Li Yunxiao's face revealed a frightened expression, and he hurriedly shouted, "Elder Yin, save me!"
Yin Zhaoyang, who was originally in the darkness, was startled for a moment. Immediately, his face pulled down. He immediately understood the reason why Li Yunxiao pulled him along. It was to make him a hired thug. However, he could not just watch as Li Yunxiao was killed by the crowd. He could only brace himself and show himself. He lightly sent out a few palm strikes, and immediately, the few martial artists who rushed up were killed by the huge force and flew out.
"So there was an ambush. Who is it?!"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Seeing Yin Zhaoyang walk out from the darkness, their expressions became even more unsightly. They couldn't sense any aura from this person at all. Although he was standing there, it was as if he didn't exist at all.
"Hmph! ~"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. What did this mean? It meant that this person's strength was far above everyone else's!
