Jia Rong felt powerless in his heart. Fatigue was written all over his face. He waved his hand and said, "All of you can leave. The deficit cannot be reduced in a short period of time. Blindly locking the city is not a solution. We need to find a new source of spiritual energy. "
Everyone understood this logic. The accumulation of spiritual energy was the same as wealth. It needed to be developed and reduced expenditure. More importantly, it needed to be developed. Simply reducing expenditure was not enough.
However, how could it be developed without a source?
If there was a source, it would have been developed over the years, and the Southern Region would not have become a desolate place.
The mysterious phenomenon and the subsequent emergence of spiritual energy had become Yanwu City's only hope. However, the result of the survey, which exhausted a large amount of manpower, resources, and financial resources, was hopeless.
"Yes, Lord, have a good rest."
The arcane masters could tell that Jia Rong was in a bad mood. They did not dare to stay any longer and left.
Bang!
While Jia Rong was deep in thought, a glass cup on the table in front of him suddenly exploded, and the tea inside spilled all over the table.
Not only that, he could clearly feel the ground trembling. A few murals on the wall also fell.
Then, all sorts of noises came from outside. "Earthquake", "Who's causing destruction", "Oh no, it might be my husband coming back. Quick, put on your pants"......
Within the perimeter, Jia Rong could hear everything clearly. Furthermore, the Astrology Tower was the tallest building in Yanwu City. The earthquake just now was even more intense.
Just to the southwest of Yanwu City, a colorful light spread out from the horizon, illuminating the entire sky in a gorgeous manner. All the sounds in the surroundings quietened down as everyone raised their heads to look.
"Phenomenon!"
Jia Rong trembled and then became ecstatic, "It's that phenomenon again! Yanwu City is saved! "
He ran down the tower and hurriedly drove the chariot to the City Lord's Mansion.
On that day, the entire Yanwu City was discussing this matter. Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion was looking forward to it, hoping that it would bring a large amount of spiritual energy like the previous time.
Many warriors and sects gathered their men and prepared to head to the place where the colorful light appeared.
The City Lord's Mansion also became busy. Li Chunyang immediately gathered everyone to discuss the cause of the trembling and phenomenon. At the same time, they prepared to set off. After all, this concerned the fate of Yanwu City.
Several hours later, a bolt of lightning flew over from afar and landed directly outside the city, transforming into Li Yunxiao's figure.
He strode into the city. There was an endless stream of people coming and going in front of the gate. It was a bustling scene.
However, at this moment, there was a commotion in the city. All kinds of sounds and auras were all covered by his divine sense. He immediately understood what was going on. The Devil Lord's seal had been broken, and the strange phenomenon had been transmitted here.
Li Yunxiao turned his head and looked at the horizon. The colorful phenomenon lingered for a long time.
A large number of cultivators came out of the city, forming groups and heading towards the sealed area.
"We'll take our leave first. Inform Fourth Brother and the others to meet up with us as soon as they return to the city."
"Don't worry. Be careful. If we can really find the source of the Spiritual Qi, I'm afraid there will be another round of fighting. You must prioritize your life. "
"Hahaha, other than the City Lord's Mansion, there aren't many in Yanwu City that can harm us. The only thing I'm worried about now is whether the source of the Spiritual Qi really exists. After all, our Qi Clan has already taken root in Yanwu City. If the Spiritual Qi dries up, we will have to move again. That will be a huge blow. "
"Ninth Brother, don't worry. Spiritual Qi does not appear out of thin air. There must be a source. Furthermore, no one has been able to detect it. It is clear that this Spiritual Qi is not simple. If we can excavate it, Yanwu City might shock the world again. "
Li Yunxiao looked over. Several war chariots hovered outside the city gates. A simple and beautiful "Qi" character was carved on them. Two middle-aged men were bidding farewell to each other.
The two did not hold back as they spoke. Everyone could hear them clearly.
The Qi Clan was considered an upper-class clan in Yanwu City. Furthermore, their conversation was not a secret.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first. I hope I can find the source of the Spiritual Qi first and fight for the continuation of Yanwu City. It will also help our Qi Clan gain more benefits."
The middle-aged cultivator did not say anything more. He led the seven or eight war chariots and flew off.
Only one cultivator remained standing on the war chariot. When he saw the colorful phenomenon, he sighed and turned to return to the city.
There was a long line outside the city, undergoing strict inspections. However, leaving the city was very fast. There were no formalities. That person from the Qi Clan naturally did not line up. He directly rode the war chariot and flew over the crowd.
The guards did not stop him. Instead, they bowed respectfully.
"Are you a cultivator?"
A few rows in front of Li Yunxiao, a middle-aged man in coarse hemp clothes was stopped by the guard and questioned.
The man was somewhat flustered. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, I'm just doing some business in the city."
"Not? Hmph, I can see that you are full of Heaven Essence. One look and I can tell that you have Essence Energy fluctuations. How dare you quibble! "
The guard suddenly made a move. He grabbed the man's shoulder with his right hand and pulled forcefully. The man was immediately sent flying and smashed into the bronze door.
The bronze door was filled with nails as thick as a finger. The guard's lift had at least a thousand kilograms of force. If this man was really not a cultivator, he would be dead for sure.
Many people cried out in shock. They covered their eyes with their hands and did not dare to look.
The man in coarse hemp clothes jumped up like a carp. He leaped into the air and somersaulted. His palms turned into fists and punched at the bronze door.
"Clang!"
The huge bronze door was struck and opened backwards. The man used the force to stabilize his body and landed safely on the ground.
"Eight-star Martial Master!" How dare you pretend to be a mortal and enter the city!
"The guard saw through this person's strength. With a cold expression, he waved his hand. Immediately, more than ten Martial Warriors rushed out and surrounded him with a murderous aura.
Li Yunxiao frowned. He did not understand what was going on and watched quietly.
The coarse clothed man's face was filled with bitterness. He cupped his fists and said, "Brothers, you have misunderstood. I have indeed practiced martial arts before, but due to my limited talent, I have long since abandoned it. Now, I am just a mortal who does business. Entering the city is also a matter of business. I will definitely not cultivate in the city. "
The guard sneered and said, "Who would believe you? There is no proof. Everything will be done according to the rules! If an eight-star Martial Master wants to enter the city, he must pay eight hundred thousand mid-grade Origin Stones! "
The coarse clothed man's expression changed drastically. He exclaimed, "Eight hundred thousand? Brothers, if I had eight hundred thousand mid-grade Origin Stones, why would I need to do business in the city? Even if I had eighty thousand, I wouldn't be able to take it out! "
Li Yunxiao scanned the area with his Divine Sense and saw everything clearly.
This coarse clothed man indeed had old injuries in his body. His cultivation had not improved for close to twenty years. Furthermore, he seemed to have regressed from a peak Nine Star Martial Master to an Eight Star Martial Master.
Furthermore, in the storage bag he carried, other than a broken First Tier Profound Artifact, there were only two hundred thousand mid-grade Origin Stones, as well as some low-grade herbs and pills.
Asking him to take out eight hundred thousand mid-grade Origin Stones was tantamount to asking for his life. Even if he gave up his life, he would not be able to take out so many Origin Stones.
The guard sneered, "Since you can't take it out, then scram!"
The coarse clothed man's expression changed slightly. He said angrily, "Yanwu City is too much of a bully. Extorting martial artists like this will lead to their demise sooner or later!"
The guard's face darkened. He shouted, "How dare you speak so rudely! Take him down!"
With a wave of his hand, the guards immediately rushed forward. More than ten of them were Martial Masters. They immediately fought with the coarse clothed man at the city gates.
The coarse clothed man was unable to restrain his anger. He patted his storage bag and a cold light flashed. A broken Profound Artifact Saber appeared in his hand. It gave off a powerful aura, causing people to not dare to get close.
The city gates immediately became chaotic. A large number of mortals were so frightened that they hid to the side.
The guard frowned. He seemed to realize that the situation was not good. He clenched his fists and suddenly attacked.
"Bang!"
He had the strength of a 3 star Martial Grand Master. He took a few steps forward and quickly moved to the side of the coarse clothed man. He punched the back of the saber and punched the chest of the coarse clothed man, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The dozen or so guards hurriedly went forward to capture him.
The coarse clothed man was covered in dust. He vomited blood as he cursed. He was tied up and dragged into the city.
Li Yunxiao could not stand it anymore. However, he did not want to hurt anyone. After all, this was his territory. He said, "Let him go. I will pay the eight hundred thousand mid-grade Origin Stones. "
The guard was stunned for a moment. He then sized up Li Yunxiao. He could not help but feel apprehensive.
This person did not have a speck of dust on him. He had an extraordinary temperament. One look and one could tell that he was not an ordinary person. However, no matter how he observed, he could not detect any Origin Energy fluctuation.
Under such circumstances, there were only two answers. Either he had a treasure to hide his strength, or he was much stronger than the guard. That was why he could not detect it.
"Young Master, do you recognize this person?"
The guard did not dare to speak rashly. He wanted to clarify the situation first. He did not want to offend someone he could not afford to offend.
Li Yunxiao said, "I don't know him. I just can't stand the way you do things." He waved his hand and a large amount of Spiritual Qi was released. A pile of Peak Grade Origin Stones was thrown out.
"Hey! Peak Grade Origin Stones!! "
The guard's eyes were sharp. He immediately recognized that those were Peak Grade Origin Stones. He was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
Although there was an exchange ratio between the quality, the higher quality Origin Stones were much more expensive. No one would take them out to exchange.
Even the coarse clothed man was dumbfounded. He sized up Li Yunxiao a few times, his eyes revealing confusion.
The guard's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Now, even a fool would know that he had met a big shot. How could he dare to take those Peak Grade Origin Stones? He immediately put them away and returned them to Li Yunxiao with both hands. He said bitterly, "Sir, please forgive us. We are just doing things according to the rules. It is the rules set by Yanwu City. It is our duty. We do not dare to disobey, and we have no choice but to obey."
"Yanwu City's rules?"
Li Yunxiao frowned and said, "Why is there such a strange rule? The other cities and sects are all eager to have powerful martial artists settle in. Why is Yanwu City doing the opposite? "
The guard was stunned for a moment before saying, "Sir, this is your first time coming to Yanwu City, right? Perhaps you do not know the situation. "
He immediately set an identity for Li Yunxiao in his heart. He was most likely a Noble Family Young Master who came from other regions to gain experience. Before Mount Meru leaked Spiritual Qi, one would not encounter such a Noble Family Young Master for hundreds of years. But in recent years, it was not uncommon.
