Although Chaos City hadn't been built for long, and there weren't many experts who chose to live here, everyone who could afford to stay was an elite.
This meant that there was a business opportunity here that everyone envied.
An endless stream of merchant caravans passed through the city gates to be interrogated. These merchants all wanted to make a killing in this city. In truth, they'd been thinking the same thing all along, and in the end, it turned out to be just as they'd expected.
The merchants all made a killing, which prompted even more merchants to come here.
For a moment, Chaos City felt like a business center.
Xiao Yumei had always supported this idea. Chaos City also provided great privacy and preferential policies for foreign merchants and experts who came here to purchase goods.
Both merchants and buyers enjoyed admiring this new city. However, the recent atmosphere in Chaos City had been stifling, making it hard for them to breathe. They didn't know what was going on, but they'd discovered that Chaos City's security had become much stricter than before. There were also several times more checks and patrols within the city. Every single Chaos City guard had an indescribably grave look in their eyes. This made everyone in the city feel like something big had happened in Chaos City.
It had.
"Why haven't there been any results yet?!"
Xiao Yan stood in front of the hall and paced back and forth. There were several guest elders in the room. In terms of rank, Xiao Yan was actually on the same level as them. However, he'd once been the Lightning Emperor, so his aura was a bit stronger.
As he furrowed his brows, practically no one in the room dared to meet his gaze. They all stood on either side of the room, their hands clasped behind their backs.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh ….
Suddenly, the sound of something slicing through the air could be heard. When Xiao Yan heard it, he looked outside and saw Xiao Hu hurrying in with a few emperor-level generals in tow.
"Third Elder!"
Xiao Hu bowed deeply towards Xiao Yan. The emperor-level generals behind him cupped their hands in greeting as well.
Xiao Yan quickly walked up to them. Before he could say anything, Xiao Hu looked up, his expression dark.
"We went to the Ancients, but they wouldn't let us in at all. They said that without their summons, we can't enter and leave as we please!"
"Didn't you tell them that you were Alliance Head Ye's subordinates and that you had something to report to him?" asked Xiao Yan with a frown. "We told you, Third Elder!" One of the generals said with a bitter expression, "But they said they didn't know Alliance Master Ye at all. Deacon Xiao Hu got into an argument with him, and the Gu Clan directly sent an Imperial Monarch to chase us out. Moreover, Deacon Xiao Hu was even injured because of this. After that, he even threatened.
The ancients don't have someone like Alliance Head Ye. If we dare cause trouble in their territory again, they'll show us no mercy! "
Only then did Xiao Yan notice that Xiao Hu's right arm hung limply by his side. There was even a trace of dried blood at the corner of his shirt.
"Preposterous! What is the Ancient race trying to do? "
Xiao Yan slammed the table beside him, turning it to dust.
The other guest chamberlains and elders in the room couldn't help but shrink their necks and lower their heads even more.
"They were the ones who found Alliance Master Ye, and now they're saying that they don't even know who Alliance Master Ye is, and they even attacked our people. Just because they were aboriginals, they could do whatever they wanted! Do they really think the Upheaval Alliance is easy to bully?! "
A thunderous roar exploded through the room. Lightning crackled around Xiao Yan's body, casting the room in a deathly white.
"Third Elder, please calm down! We're talking about the Ancient race. You know what they're capable of. If the Ancient race heard what you're saying, the Upheaval Alliance really might not be able to hold out against them …. "
"So what if they heard?!"
Xiao Yan glared viciously at the guest chamberlain who'd just spoken, his bloodshot eyes radiating an intimidating, ominous light. The guest chamberlains were so frightened by his gaze that they hurriedly lowered their heads. Xiao Yan's eyes were also bloodshot.
"Just because the Ancient race is powerful, they can detain the Alliance Head and prevent him from returning? Just because the Ancient race is powerful, they can be unreasonable?! "
Everyone in the room cowered in fear, not daring to respond. Enraged, Xiao Yan paced back and forth in the room for a long time. The others lowered their heads and waited.
A while passed ….
"Xiao Hu, you've worked hard. Go back and get some rest!"
Xiao Hu walked up to Xiao Hu, patted him on the shoulder, and took a deep breath. Only then did he look up. He glanced at the ribbon on the table, as well as the letter written entirely with divine power.
"Don't worry about my injuries. Right now, what's important is how we deal with the current situation!"
Xiao Yan looked deeply at the ribbon. It and the letter had been delivered to the Upheaval Alliance three days ago. It was this letter that had instantly made Xiao Yan so restless and agitated.
"What else can we do? Keep asking the Ancient race for him. Alliance Head Ye has to return. No matter what the Ancient race says, he has to come back and take charge! Xiao Hu, no …. You're injured. You'd best stay in the Alliance and recuperate. How about this, Fifth Elder? "
"Yes, sir!"
The Fifth Elder of the Upheaval Alliance was none other than Wei Jie, the man who'd once helped Ye Zichen manage the Upheaval Alliance. He wasn't particularly talented, and even with the Alliance's constant supply of pills, he was still only a ruler.
Given the Upheaval Alliance's current situation, he wasn't qualified to be an elder at all.
However, he had Ye Zichen's deep trust, which was why he'd managed to secure a seat among the elders. "Although your cultivation isn't high, I'm afraid I can't compare to you when it comes to dealing with people. Although the Ancient race has detained our alliance head, he's still an ancient. Even if the Upheaval Alliance goes all out, we might not be their match. You're eloquent and eloquent, so you'll lead the team this time. I'll find you three emperors and ten emperors.
Once they head to the Ancient race, they'll definitely bring Alliance Head Ye back. "
"Alright. Unless I die in the Ancient race's hands, Alliance Head Ye will definitely return to the Upheaval Alliance!"
Wei Jie solemnly vowed, his high-spirited words echoing in the room for a long time.
Everyone knew that the Upheaval Alliance needed Ye Zichen to return and take charge. Xiao Yan didn't dare guarantee that he'd be able to prioritize the bigger picture.
"What's going on here? Why does our Elder Wei sound so hot-blooded?" At that moment, a low, joking voice came from outside the room.
Everyone looked toward the door and saw two figures standing in front of it. A beam of light shone on them through the gaps in the clouds, causing their clothes to be dyed with a layer of golden light.
They really did look like saviors. Xiao Yan, who'd been fuming all this time, suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
