Punan Guardian Residence, Shuangxi City.
Tian Buqi led Yang Fan and Tian Feiyao to line up at the city gate, waiting for their identities to be verified.
Yang Fan was dumbfounded.
He had thought that with a Quasi Emperor like Tian Buqi leading the way, he would be able to bypass all obstacles and directly pass through the spirit energy barrier of Shuangxi City to find An Sheng as quickly as possible.
In the end.
They actually had to line up here to enter the city!
What the f * ck, this felt a little funny.
Previously, when Tian Buqi and the others entered Dai Xing City, they had never been so polite. Which one of them didn't enter with a whoosh? Who would obediently line up at the city gate?
This old man, Tian Buqi, wasn't deliberately stalling for time?
Yang Fan glanced at Tian Buqi suspiciously. From the beginning, this old man was somewhat unwilling. Now, it was inevitable that he would overthink things.
"Master, don't worry!" Tian Feiyao was also a clever person. Naturally, she could see Yang Fan's dissatisfaction. She hurriedly explained to Yang Fan secretly, "Central cities like the Guardian Residence are usually like this. They inspect people entering and leaving the city very carefully. They are afraid that spies from the demon race will sneak into the city and cause chaos."
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Is that so? Then why did Dai Xing City …?"
"Master," Tian Feiyao's mouth twitched, and she said softly, "although I don't really want to say it, I think it's necessary for you to understand."
"Dai Xing City, or rather, the entire Northwest Guardian Residence, has always been the weakest among the thirty-six regions of the Federation. The defensive barriers of the other Guardian Residences' central cities are at least high-grade B-class. They can prevent all martial artists below the Emperor level from entering without permission. "
"The great defensive array of Shuangxi City in front of us is the same as the one in the capital and the Federal Center City. It's a special A-class defensive array. At most, it can withstand a full-force attack from a peak Emperor level expert."
"As for Dai Xingcheng of the Northwest Guardian Mansion, his Spiritual Energy Defense Array is only at the middle grade of B grade. It's not a problem to defend against ordinary mid-step Kings, but for some high-level Kings or even peak Kings, it's just a decoration."
Seeing that Yang Fan's expression was becoming more and more unsightly, Tian Feiyao spoke in an even more tactful manner.
"Now that I've put it this way, you should be able to understand. It's not that we're willing to line up here, but the psionic defense array of Shuangxi City is too powerful. Other than obediently lining up, even Tian Laosi has no other way to force his way in."
Yang Fan nodded speechlessly.
In the end, wasn't it all about bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
Shuangxi City was too powerful, so they could only follow the rules of others with their tails between their legs.
On the other hand, Dai Xingcheng was too weak, so he could only look up to these peak Kings.
No matter when, whether it was an individual or a force, powerful strength was always the foundation of the world.
"However, for Shuangxi City to be able to make a half-step Emperor like Tian Buqi obey the rules and obediently line up at the city gate, their strength can't be underestimated."
Yang Fan raised his head and looked at the thirty-meter-tall steel city wall in front of him, sighing softly in his heart.
Compared to Shuangxi City, their Northwest Guardian Mansion's Dai Xingcheng was indeed somewhat lacking!
"Young Master Fan, don't be anxious." Tian Buqi turned around and explained softly to Yang Fan, "If it were any other time, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to enter the city. As long as I show my Tian Clan's elder token, I'll be able to enter the city without being checked. Moreover, I'll be able to use the special VIP passage.
"But right now, aren't we here to rescue someone? What we need to do is to keep a low profile. If we're too eye-catching, it'll be easy to attract attention, and it won't be beneficial for our rescue operation after entering the city."
Tian Buqi was bragging here, as if he was thinking for Fan Xian's sake.
Yang Fan nodded weakly and yawned softly.
They had rushed all the way from the Northwest Guardian Mansion, and it had taken them less than half an hour in total.
It should have been extremely fast, much faster than high-speed trains or airplanes. It could be said that they had saved a lot of time.
But now.
The time they had saved on the road was actually all used to line up!
The flow of people in Shuangxi City really made Yang Fan feel what was called the scenery of a big city.
This lively scene of people coming and going was something that Yang Fan would never see in West Chu City or Dai Xingcheng.
This was because in the northwest cities, their gates were normally closed. They would only open for a limited time during special periods.
There was no other way.
The land was vast, the people were sparse, and the environment was harsh. The Monster Beasts surrounding the city were several times more than the humans in the city. Other than some warriors and hunters, no one dared to leave the city. That was simply courting death.
But on the side of Shuangxi City, whether it was the people leaving or entering the city, they didn't seem to be worried about the dangers outside the city.
Yang Fan even found a large number of commoners with cultivations below Martial Master among the people leaving the city.
These weak civilian martial artists, who could easily be wiped out by a Level 2 or Level 3 demonic beast, actually dared to leave the city at will. If this was the Northwest, unless these people didn't want to live, they definitely wouldn't dare to walk out of the city gate so openly.
It was obvious that the living environment around Shuangxi City was much better than that of the Northwest Region.
Finally.
After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the city gates. They took out their watches to register their identities, and then used some kind of human and demon detection device to scan them one by one. After confirming that they weren't Monster Beasts, they were allowed to pass.
After wasting half an hour in front of the city gates, they finally came in!
Yang Fan turned his head to look at Tian Feiyao. Tian Feiyao understood and opened her Optical Computer. She pointed and said, "In the east of the city!"
Tian Buqi finally stopped wasting time and began to display the strength and speed of a half-step Emperor. He pulled Yang Fan and Tian Feiyao to the east of the city in a flash.
Tian Feiyao continued to use her Optical Computer to pinpoint the location accurately. Finally, she brought Tian Buqi and Yang Fan to a stinky garbage disposal station.
"Garbage disposal station? This doesn't seem like the Zhangsun Clan's style of doing things! Is there a need to wrong themselves like this in their own territory? "
Tian Buqi's mouth twitched. "Little Feiyao, is this tracking device of yours a defective product?"
"Tian Buqi! This old lady has tolerated you for a long time! " Tian Feiyao immediately turned hostile. "I'll tell you one more time. My brother is a super genius in both martial arts and research. The things he invented are all top notch. If you dare to slander him like this again, this old lady will fall out with you!"
This was her violent temper.
It was fine to talk bad about her, but definitely not about her brother!
Especially talking about her brother in front of Yang Fan, it was even more unacceptable!
Tian Feiyao was still hoping that this merit would allow her brother to show his face in front of Yang Fan and leave a good impression. Then, she would be able to latch onto this thick thigh of his.
"Alright, we'll know whether or not it works once we go in and check it out!"
Yang Fan softly persuaded. He concealed his aura and took the lead to enter the garbage disposal station.
"I have already used my divine sense to scan the area. This is an abandoned garbage disposal station. There's not a single person inside!"
Tian Buqi shook his head slightly and advised the two not to waste any more time here.
Tian Feiyao couldn't help but glare at Old Man Tian again. She waved the watch in her hand and said, "If you can't find it, it's your own fault. It's only a few hundred meters away. Why don't we follow them and find out?!"
As she spoke, Tian Feiyao followed Yang Fan in a flash and continued to point the way for Yang Fan. Her virtual optical computer showed that An Sheng was in the garbage mountain not far ahead.
Although their divine sense did not detect a single person or aura, Tian Feiyao firmly believed in her brother's invention. She patted her chest vigorously and guaranteed that An Sheng was definitely in front of them.
Tian Buqi shook his head slightly and had no choice but to follow behind the two. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the garbage mountain that Tian Feiyao had pointed out.
However.
It was empty.
Other than the overwhelming smell and various abandoned debris and rust, there was indeed no one.
"That's impossible! The system shows that he's in this place! "
Tian Feiyao still refused to believe it. On the virtual screen of the watch in her hand, the red light that represented the locator was still flashing. The frequency of flashing was much faster than before.
The three of them used their divine sense at the same time and scanned almost everything in the garbage mountain. Still, they found nothing suspicious. An Sheng was still nowhere to be seen.
"His aura must be blocked by something. That's why we can't detect it."
Tian Feiyao was still unwilling to give up and continued to defend her brother. "Don't forget that my brother's locator can ignore all auras. Since it says that Senior Brother An Sheng is here, then Senior Brother An Sheng must be here!"
"That's enough!" Tian Buqi's face was gloomy as he reprimanded her. "You're wrong, so you're wrong! No amount of sophistry can change anything. "
"I is a half-step to Emperor-level. Whether it's his divine sense or the strength of his soul, he's not much weaker than you. If even I can't detect any strange aura, then that means that he's definitely not here!"
"Instead of wasting our time here, why don't we explore other places again? Who knows, we might find something!"
Tian Feiyao rolled her eyes at Tian Buqi and snorted coldly. She did not believe in heresy and continued to use her divine sense to explore.
Yang Fan did not give up either. He continued to use his mind power to cover the entire garbage mountain and carefully scrutinized it over and over again.
"Are these two idiots both possessed by the devil?!"
Tian Buqi shook his head helplessly. Even Yang Fan, the main culprit, was unwilling to leave. He could only continue to stay here and accompany this mountain of garbage.
"Only someone with a screw loose would hide someone in such a lousy place, right?"
Tian Buqi complained in his heart. Previously, he had said that the person who kidnapped An Sheng was most likely a King-level master or even a Spiritual Spiritualist.
In this world, which King Level Martial Artist would hide in a mountain of trash like this?
At this moment, Yang Fan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly trembled. There was a slight change in the expression on his face, as if there was a hint of joy.
