To Smoke Cloud City
When he heard that Murong Xue and the others had to go to Smoke City, Ye Zichen knit his brows. He sensed that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Could this be a repeat of the incident in Barren Sands City?
That was what Ye Zichen was thinking, but he didn't say it out loud.
"What's your mission in Smoke Cloud City?"
"This is a mission from the academy. A large amount of Cloud Tobacco has appeared in the vicinity of Smoke Cloud City. The academy has sent us to collect some."
Murong Xue replied with a smile, then raised her eyebrows.
"I know what you're thinking. Are you worried that it'll be like Barren Sands City? But this time, it's different."
Ye Zichen understood the effects of the Cloud Tobacco. It was a pill refining material that could greatly increase the success rate of pill refinement. Smoke Cloud City was also famous for the Cloud Tobacco.
So long as it wasn't about the incident in Barren Sands City, Ye Zichen relaxed. When he remembered that Wei Jie was still waiting for him to rescue him, he couldn't afford to waste any more time.
"Then let's go together. There's no time to lose, let's go now."
"Alright."
As she spoke, Murong Xue summoned the flying boat she'd borrowed from Xue Mo. She summoned the two golden flowers of the Appearance Association and boarded.
Jiang Yong, Pan Sheng, and Ye Zichen boarded as well, but after they did, Xue Mo boarded as well.
"I want to go with you."
When Jiang Yong heard this, he laughed heartily.
"See if I'm right? If Brother Ye wants to go, Xue Mo has to go. Alright, we can be considered old teammates. Let's go then. "
Ye Zichen sat in a corner and took out his phone.
"How's the situation?"
The message was sent to Wei Jie. A few minutes later, Wei Jie replied.
"Right now, we're still hiding and can't see what's going on outside. We also don't dare to release our Divine Sense for fear of being discovered. I don't know what's going on either. "
"Then who attacked your village?" asked Ye Zichen.
"Who knows? I haven't been on the Divine Mountains for long. Those people killed whenever they came, regardless of whether they were men or women, young or old, they didn't spare anyone. Moreover, this group of people is extremely strong. None of us are a match for them, "Wei Jie replied.
"Are you sure they're human? Are there any other auras? "Ye Zichen frowned.
"It's a human, I'm absolutely certain of that. When they attacked, I immediately wondered if they were outsiders, but they didn't have the slightest hint of an outsider's aura, "Wei Jie replied.
When he saw Wei Jie's reply, Ye Zichen couldn't help but fall silent.
In fact, he still had some suspicions that the people who attacked the villages outside of Smoke Cloud City were demons. However, Wei Jie's reply was so certain that they weren't demons that he couldn't immediately make a conclusion.
If it wasn't the Demon Race, then it had to be a very evil and wicked person to not even let off women, children, and the elderly.
Could they be horse bandits?
Although Ye Zichen had never run into them, he'd heard that the bandits were a particularly violent faction on the Divine Mountains. They committed all sorts of atrocities.
"Continue hiding. I'm heading to Smoke Cloud City now. I should be able to reach you very soon."
"Alright."
When Ye Zichen put his phone back into his pocket, he noticed that he was surrounded by a group of women.
Murong Xue, the two golden flowers of the Appearance Association, and Xue Mo all bent over to look at him.
"Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
Murong Xue licked her lips uncomfortably. She frowned, took a step back, and said to Xue Mo, "That communication device he used just now is pretty good.
"The communication device he used just now is pretty good. Instant communication."
Then, Murong Xue walked over with a smile on her face.
"Little Brother Ye, that thing you just used …. What was that?"
"Are you talking about this?" Ye Zichen took out his phone. When he saw Murong Xue nod, he smiled and said, "this is a mobile phone. It's a product of my research team's research and development team. It's capable of instant individual and group communication. What, are you interested? "
"I'm rather interested, but do you know how much it costs?"
"I'm not sure how much it costs either. I'll have to ask the research department. Once it's mass produced, if you want it, I can add a bit of labor costs to the original price. However, I doubt it'll be more than two hundred divine coins. "
"That's fine."
Murong Xue smiled and nodded. Although communication devices could send messages, they weren't always instantaneous.
Sometimes, when a message was sent, there might be a long delay. Moreover, the cost of manufacturing transmission jade slips wasn't cheap. Even the cheapest one cost five hundred divine coins or more.
She liked the mobile phone's timeliness, and it was cheaper than transmission jade slips.
It was obvious which choice he should make.
"When the time comes, just give me three million of them. I want to give every member of the Appearance Association one," said Murong Xue heroically. Ye Zichen couldn't help but shudder in fear.
If he calculated it at two hundred divine coins each, then three million would cost six hundred million divine coins.
Murong Xue didn't so much as blink. No wonder the top five student societies were said to be rich and powerful. Only the heirs of great clans could become society leaders ….
He was inhumanly rich.
"Beauty Murong, you've really frightened me. But if you want three million, I don't have that much. In our first batch, we'll only be able to produce a few million. I'll need to distribute them to Anti-Upheaval and the factions in the Lower Lands. "Ye Zichen shrugged.
"So you have a faction in the Lower Lands? What gang? My family has branches in the Lower Lands as well. But don't you know about Upheaval? That gang is really arrogant down there. They've beaten my family into a pulp. And Jiang Yong's family too. "
Murong Xue gestured at Jiang Yong. In response, Jiang Yong raised his voice and shouted, "That's not it.
"Of course not. Upheaval's too arrogant. But I can't be bothered to get involved in the side branches' affairs. Still, I heard that Upheaval's doing quite well in the Lower Lands. They've practically taken over all nine of the Divine Mountains."
"Upheaval? Doesn't that mean we, Anti-Upheaval, are going to wipe them out?"
The heirs of the Northern Divine Mountain's influential clans chatted back and forth, but Ye Zichen's expression grew increasingly stiff.
He scratched his head, coughed, and shouted, "Ol 'Jiang, how much longer until we get to Smoke City?"
"Old Jiang, how much longer until we get to Smoke City?"
"We'll be there soon. Don't be in such a rush. Do you know where your friend is? How about we save him first, then go harvest the cloud tobacco? "shouted Jiang Yong.
"There's no need for that. You guys go do what you need to do. I can deal with him myself. When the time comes, I'll go look for you. "
With that, Ye Zichen lowered his head and fell silent. Murong Xue asked.
