Barren City suddenly became extremely quiet.
Usually, there would be human peddlers selling all kinds of cultivation materials in the four major districts. There would also be people of the Sea Race peddling precious treasures from the seabed. The shops along the way would be crowded with people haggling loudly.
But today was different.
The four big districts were deserted. Some people who used to regularly set up their stalls were hiding in their houses, not daring to go out.
A few groups of Sea Tribes people gathered together, talking in low voices. From time to time, they looked at the direction of the central district with a cold face.
Many people had received the news that there would be a big movement today. They knew that Barren City would have an earth-shaking change. They knew that after this battle, the strongest force that had dominated Barren City for so many years would collapse in just a blink of an eye, and would no longer be able to stand in Barren City.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for something in silence.
At noon, human warriors began to gather in the four major urban areas. Under the leadership of four Sky Realm warriors, they silently and quietly moved towards the central city area.
The four Sky Realm warriors had already arranged the operation. Along the way, in the corners of the streets, warriors constantly joined them.
Gradually, these four Sky Realm warriors had gathered nearly eight hundred warriors with different realms, wearing different clothes.
Some of them had red ribbons on their sleeves, some wore black pointy hats, some wore cyan robes, and some wore gloves.
The warriors of the four forces had a clear way of distinguishing each other.
After two hours of gathering, nearly eight hundred martial artists from these four factions slowly arrived in the direction of the central city and met at an intersection.
Everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing.
Immediately, the four Sky Realm warriors walked out of their respective teams with a gloomy face. They came to the central street, stopped in front of a small open-air wine shop, and sat at a table in four different directions.
When the owner of the wine shop saw the four people coming, his face slightly changed. He didn't dare to say anything, just silently served the good wine in the shop. Then, he bowed and retreated far away, not daring to linger.
"Ming Hai, the Yang Family treated you well in the past. That year, you were chased by the Gu Family and escaped all the way to the Kyara Sea. It was Xiao Han Yi who came to stop your pursuers. After that, Xiao Han Yi invited you to join the Yang family. Although you refused, Xiao Han Yi didn't say much. He even told you the location of Barren City and asked you to come to Barren City to make a living. Are you really going to do it? "
Jiu Lan Xin, the beautiful woman with a graceful figure, smiled and glanced at Ming Hai, who was in front of her.
Ming Hai had the Second Sky of Sky Realm cultivation base. Among the four of them, his cultivation base was the most profound. He had received the favor of the Shura King Xiao Han Yi. Previously, he had always relied on his relationship with Xiao Han Yi to make enemies everywhere in Barren City. He had always been a troublemaker. He was the kind of person who did things cruelly and ruthlessly.
In order to avenge his family, Ming Hai had dared to kill a direct descendant of the Gu Family. Afterward, the Gu Family had sent out all of their experts to capture him. He had escaped all the way to the Kyara Sea. When he was surrounded, Xiao Han Yi passed by. After asking about the situation, Xiao Han Yi came out and drove the Gu Family's people away, saving his life.
The reason why Xiao Han Yi did that was because he admired that Ming Hai wasn't afraid of the Gu Family.
After Ming Hai came to Barren City, he often bragged about this matter to others, calling Xiao Han Yi his brother. That year, many people in Barren City mistakenly thought that he had something to do with the Yang Family and were in awe of him.
Jiu Lan Xin deliberately mentioned this matter to ridicule him and embarrass him.
In the past few years, Jiu Lan Xin and Ming Hai had fought many times for the monopoly of the North City District.
In the beginning, Jiu Lan Xin was always in a disadvantageous position, being suppressed by Ming Hai. Later, Jiu Lan Xin had a relationship with the Water Scorpion Clan, so she wasn't afraid of Ming Hai and firmly controlled the North City District.
Although this time, they had agreed to join hands to deal with the Yang Family, Jiu Lan Xin remembered the old hatred and seized the opportunity to mock him.
"That's right. Brother Xiao treats me well." Ming Hai grinned, "If Big Brother Xiao is still alive, as long as you tell someone to come over and tell me, I will definitely not be disloyal. Maybe I will even protect the Yang family's interests and fight against you."
Ming Hai shook his head and said with a regretful face, "Unfortunately, Brother Xiao is no longer here. I received the news that Brother Xiao's soul has been destroyed, and his body has been occupied by Demon King Chi Yan. Sigh, such a hero has fallen into such a situation. I feel sorry for Brother Xiao. Brother Xiao has spent his whole life for the Yang Family. Although he has the title of Shura King, so what? He's still a dog of the Yang Family. At the critical moment, isn't he still sacrificed? "
"No matter what, Xiao Han Yi is also a member of the Yang Family. If he knows that you have treated the Yang Family like this, I don't know if he will regret saving you that year." Jiu Lan Xin sneered and said harshly.
"Harrumph!" Ming Hai's face was ruthless, looking at her with cold eyes. "I'm doing this for Brother Xiao. The Yang Family he belongs to is in trouble now. It's better for me to take away the things that Brother Xiao has worked hard for that year than to let others take them away. With these materials, I can enhance my strength. One day, I may be able to enter the Spirit Realm. At that time, I will remember Brother Xiao's kindness and find a way to take revenge for him. "
Fu Hao and Yan Feng suddenly burst out laughing.
The two of them were the leaders of the Eastern and Southern areas respectively. Both of them had the First Sky of Sky Realm cultivation base. Hearing Ming Hai's clumsy words, they thought it was funny and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Ming Hai's face darkened as he coldly snorted. "Is it funny?"
"Funny, it's really funny." Fu Hao nodded continually and said bluntly, "The one who destroyed Xiao Han Yi's soul was Bo Xun, and the one who occupied his body was Chi Yan. You, Ming Hai, are arrogant enough to want to take revenge on the Demon King. Don't you think it's funny?"
Ming Hai's face was dark and malicious, looking at the two of them.
"Don't talk about such useless things." Yan Feng frowned with a greedy face. She couldn't wait and said, "Let's talk about how to share those materials. We all have the same goal, which is to get the Yang family's resources. No need to find any excuses."
Ming Hai harrumphed and didn't continue to explain.
"I have a proposal." Jiu Lan Xin hesitated for a while and then said, "Whoever can kill Yang Zhuo can have a bigger share. How about it?"
As soon as she said that, the other three were stunned.
"Do you think you can kill Yang Zhuo?" Fu Hao frowned and said coldly, "Although Yang Zhuo only has the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm cultivation base, everybody knows that the Yang family's Immortal Martial Spirit is extremely powerful. Each member of the Yang family has the ability to challenge the warriors at a higher level. Although Yang Zhuo is a direct descendant of the Yang family, he has countless secret treasures and cultivates the top martial techniques. Even if he's at the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm, you can't deal with him alone. Do you really think that with the support of the Water Scorpion Clan, your strength will increase? "
"Of course, I don't think so." Jiu Lan Xin pouted her lips. "I'm worried that if we don't use our full strength, Yang Zhuo will be in a difficult situation. If one of us deals with Yang Zhuo, although we can't win, we can still suppress him. If two of us join hands, he won't be able to resist. If three of us use our full strength, he will die. I'm thinking for everyone. I'm afraid that we won't do our best and waste more time. That's why I suggested this. What do you think? "
Ming Hai, Fu Hao, and Yan Feng were silent after listening to her. After a while, they all nodded, agreeing with her proposal.
"Although we have plenty of time, in order to get that batch of materials as soon as possible, I think we should act faster." Yan Feng was the most anxious one. He was the first one to stand up. "The details we've agreed on won't change. I'm responsible for attacking from the east. You guys should focus on your own duties. Everyone should gather in the direction of the Conference Hall. When the cellar is opened, we must all be present. Hmm, right, is there any problem with your insider? Did they make a mistake? "
Yan Feng then looked at Ming Hai.
"It's foolproof." Ming Hai revealed a sinister smile. "The Yangs can't do it anymore. Those who used to depend on the Yangs aren't all loyal. It's too easy to find a few insiders. Everyone is doing this for the sake of a better life. They naturally know how to make the right choice. "
"That's good."
Yan Feng nodded and was the first one to leave, heading to the east of the Yang family's building.
As soon as he moved, the hundreds of cultivators who followed him immediately moved and followed him.
Ming Hai, Fu Hao, and Jiu Lan Xin sat there, drank a few mouthfuls of wine, and then silently stood up, leading their warriors to leave.
In the wine shop, the shopkeeper slowly walked out from the back, smiled wryly, and cleaned up the glasses on the table. He shook his head and sighed.
"Boss, why are you shaking your head? You don't seem to like them? "The waiter came forward and asked.
"These guys never pay when they come to the tavern to eat and drink." The shopkeeper sighed. "They're not as good as the Yangs. That year, even when the Yangs were at their strongest, any warrior of the Yangs who came to eat and drink would pay. No warrior of the Yangs would come here to eat and drink for free. These people not only don't pay, but their subordinates also come here to eat and drink for free. If it goes on like this, we can't stay in Barren City anymore. "
The waiter's face was gloomy. "They're strong."
"The Yangs were much stronger than them, but they've never broken the rules." The shopkeeper's voice was a little high, but he immediately realized that it wasn't appropriate. He hurriedly lowered his voice. "After these four people took charge of the four major districts, their taxes are much more ruthless than the Yangs. They constantly exploit the merchants who come here. When they treat the Sea Tribes, they all flatter them, but when it comes to their own people, they try their best to suppress them. If they finally take charge of Barren City, I think many people will not be able to live there."
"Yeah. Recently, I heard that many people are thinking about leaving Barren City. Sigh, if they don't have enemies outside, who would want to live on the seabed? When the Yangs were still here, it was still okay. There were no battles in the city. The Yangs always protected us and didn't let the Sea Tribes bully us. But now, with these four guys taking charge, the Sea Tribes are getting more and more arrogant. They don't put us in their eyes at all. "
The waiter also frowned, looking at the magnificent buildings in the center of the city and said with a low voice, "I hope the Yangs can hold on and continue to maintain the order of Barren City. Don't let those four guys break us."
"It's easier said than done." The shopkeeper sighed, shaking his head with a begrudging face. He was considering whether he should move out of Barren City earlier or not.
