Who would've thought that in just a few short years, under the leadership of Elder Buddha, Elder Sword, and Elder Thunder, Chaos City would develop to its current scale? It really wasn't easy.
Xiao Yang naturally contributed greatly to Chaos City's development. When Chaos City was first built, Xiao Yang had put in a lot of effort. Not only did he come up with many effective and constructive suggestions, he even personally participated in several major projects, laying down the foundation for Chaos City's development.
Now that he saw Chaos City's prosperity and vitality, Xiao Yang felt heartfelt pride, and the smile on his face grew a little wider.
Back then, the four great Wu Zun's negotiations didn't lead to war, so in the past few years, many human cultivators had come to the beast races and demon realms to trade goods.
Xiao Yang released his divine sense, and it enveloped the entire Chaos City. He could clearly hear the conversations of all sorts of people in the city, and immediately locked onto a merchant who often traveled between the beast races and the human cities.
This merchant had a caravan of about thirty people. Every time he went out into the beast forest, he would bring along many goods from Chaos City. He wanted to do business with the beast races in the forest, and use these goods to trade for beastly goods.
This person's name was Qiu Wanjin, and he was a true businessman who was also very slippery.
One had to know that not just anyone could enter the beast lands. Although the beast races hadn't declared war on the Poison Sect, that didn't mean they'd let down their guard against the Poison Sect. They would strictly interrogate any human who went in or out of the beast lands.
And this Qiu Wanjin was able to bring a caravan of about thirty people into the beast forest. It was clear that his abilities weren't ordinary.
Xiao Yang pondered for a moment. If he used his human identity, he might not be able to enter the beast lands smoothly. If he forced his way into the beast forest, it might incite conflict between the beast races and the Poison Sect. This made him hesitate.
"Forget it. I'll find this Qiu Wanjin."
Xiao Yang quickly came up with an idea. He decided to let Qiu Wanjin bring him into the beast forest.
Although he'd already locked onto Qiu Wanjin and had a plan for what to do next, Xiao Yang didn't rashly go looking for him. His divine sense was still locked onto Qiu Wanjin's body, watching his every move.
While checking, he walked towards an inn, preparing to rest there.
According to Xiao Yang's investigation, Qiu Wanjin's caravan would depart tomorrow morning. That meant that there was still one day left for Xiao Yang, so he wasn't in a hurry.
There were only two ways to get Qiu Wanjin's help. One was to look for Qiu Wanjin directly and ask him to bring him to the Beast Forest.
The other one was pretending to be a member of Qiu Wanjin's caravan.
Xiao Yang was weighing which method was more reliable.
In the end, Qiu Wanjin was just a merchant. Even though he was a disciple of the Poison Sect, he couldn't force others to do anything. If he really did coerce Qiu Wanjin and word got out, it would greatly affect both his and the Poison Sect's reputation.
He just didn't know if Qiu Wanjin would be willing to help him or not.
Just as Xiao Yang was deep in thought with a frown, he saw two fifth-tier Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators looking for Qiu Wanjin and successfully meeting with him.
"Philanthropist Qiu, I'm sure you know why we're here. Please help us and bring us to the Beast Forest. We'll agree to whatever conditions you have, even if you have to work us to the bone."
The two Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators spoke with sincerity. Their expressions were sincere and there wasn't the slightest hint of falsehood.
Qiu Wanjin looked at the two of them and sighed. He shook his head and refused, saying, "Brother Longhu, aren't you making things difficult for me? I've already told you a month ago that it's impossible. The Beast Forest is the territory of the Beast Tribe. Not just anyone can enter. Bringing you there would only be harming you."
He recognized these two cultivators. These two cultivators were famous people in Chaos City. They had helped Chaos City resolve many disputes and made great contributions to the city.
"If it was any other favor, I would have helped you. But I can't help you with this favor. Please forgive me."
Qiu Wanjin sighed with a helpless expression.
The Longhu brothers also knew Qiu Wanjin's difficulties. They could only ask, "Philanthropist Qiu, can we be members of your caravan? Can't we enter the Beast Forest as we please? "
They thought that since Qiu Wanjin could bring his caravan in and out of the Beast Forest, he must have a way for them to enter the Beast Forest as well.
Qiu Wanjin frowned and paced back and forth. Seeing that the Longhu brothers were determined not to back down, he had no choice but to tell them the truth. He said, "Brother Longhu, I admire you too. Please don't make things difficult for me. I'll tell you the truth. The reason we can enter and leave the Beast Forest is because we've accepted the Beast Tribe's taboo seal. This ensures that we won't do anything harmful to the Beast Tribe. This is the basis of our deal. "
The Longhu brothers were speechless after hearing Qiu Wanjin's words.
Everyone knew that Qiu Wanjin was glamorous and well-dressed, and had groups of bodyguards and servants protecting him whenever he went in and out of the Beast Forest. However, no one knew about the hardships and sacrifices he had made behind the scenes. It turned out that he had accepted the Beast Tribe's taboo seal. It was equivalent to handing his life over to the Beast Tribe.
The Longhu brothers believed that they could not do such a thing.
Seeing their troubled looks, Qiu Wanjin could only say to them, "Is there anything you need to do in the Beast Forest? If it's convenient, I can do it for you."
The Longhu brothers exchanged glances with one another and quickly came to an agreement. They shook their heads and said, "Philanthropist Qiu the Great, you're so honest. Don't worry, we'll keep our mouths shut. As for our matters, we'll think of another way. Thank you, Philanthropist Qiu the Great. "
The Longhu brothers bowed to Qiu Wanjin and left.
Xiao Yang, who was sitting in the inn and drinking tea, naturally saw everything that was going on between them.
Following the Longhu brothers' defeat, Xiao Yang fell into a dilemma.
He did not expect that entering the Beast Forest would require him to accept the Beast Tribe's taboo seal. It meant that his life was no longer under his control.
It seemed like following Qiu Wanjin into the Beast Forest was not a realistic plan.
"Forget it, let's see what the Longhu brothers have in mind."
Xiao Yang's Divine Sense left Qiu Wanjin and shifted to the Longhu brothers.
After leaving the Qiu Residence, the Longhu brothers walked out of the city and came into contact with another group of people.
Xiao Yang casually observed the group of people that came into contact with the Longhu brothers. At first glance, they looked familiar. After taking a closer look, weren't they mercenaries? No wonder they looked so familiar.
The so-called mercenaries were people who were hired to sell their lives. Once they accepted a mission, they would complete it to the end.
Of course, some mercenaries did not accept employment. They maintained their independence and their teams had missions to complete.
Could it be that these people wanted to sneak into the Beast Forest?
