Chapter 279: Blackie: Social Fear
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Rising Clouds City was the border city of the boundless world.
They were, in fact, extremely lacking in resources, so they had to rely on the imports of other cities.
Therefore, the faction that controlled the import route and resources of Rising Clouds City.
Other than the City Lord’s Manor of Rising Clouds City occupying 50% of the city.
The remaining 50% would be distributed by the three aristocratic families of Rising Clouds City.
They were the Li family, the Kang family, and the Yang family!
The Li family and the Kang family had joined the big forces in the outside world because there were talented people in the family!
Hence, the two families each took 20%!
The remaining 10% belonged to the Yang family.
But now…
The Li family and the Kang family were not satisfied. They wanted to swallow the remaining 10% of the Yang family too!
This also left the Yang family with no choice but to choose a marriage of benefits.
Marrying the current little princess of the Yang family, Yang Yuwan, into the City Lord’s Manor of Dragon Enlightenment City!
In other words, the Long Family!
Only then could they ensure their own interests and receive the support of Dragon Enlightenment City!
Apparently this was something neither the Li family nor the Kang family wanted to see.
At this moment, in the main house of the Yang family.
The current head of the Yang family, Yang Zhenhuai, had already learned through the voice transmission jade pendant that Yang Qi and the others had been attacked in a valley on Boundary Mountain!
Fortunately, the other party did not succeed.
Yang Zhenhuai heaved a sigh of relief and his expression turned ugly!
Was the other party already so bold on the surface?
Yang Zhenhuai raised his head and looked at the two middle-aged men who were drinking tea peacefully.
He sneered and said, “Looks like someone can’t hold it in anymore? Are you that afraid of our Yang family and the Long family getting married?”
These two middle-aged men were famous in Rising Clouds City!
It could be said that very few people in Rising Clouds City did not know them.
They were the people involved in the Li family and the Kang family!
Li Man and Kang Shicheng.
Just like Yang Zhenhuai, they were both Half-Step Martial Monarch Realm experts!
Li Man and Kang Shicheng’s expressions did not change hearing Yang Zhenhuai’s mockery.
However, the teacup in his hand paused for a moment before he put it down.
Kang Shicheng smiled and said indifferently, “It should be harmful to the interests of others. Brother Yang, do you need our two families to help investigate who did it?”
Seeing Kang Shicheng’s behavior, Yang Zhenhuai tapped his fingers on the wooden table rhythmically.
“Oh? How can you be so kind?”
Li Man chuckled and said, “Brother Yang, you’re wrong. Even though our three families usually don’t get along, at this time, of course we have to unite against the outside world!”
“Thus, there is no need for you to be courteous with the two of us. Else, it would be too distant.”
Apparently, Li Man did not want to admit that they were behind this.
It was done by an outsider!
Kang Shicheng and Li Man would never admit it before they completely fell out with each other.
If word got out, it would not be good for the reputation of their two families.
Moreover, this was also a slap to Dragon Enlightenment City’s Long Family’s face!
The Long Family was the City Lord of Dragon Enlightenment City.
Their power was naturally much stronger than theirs.
Yang Zhenhuai did not expect them to admit it.
His eyes flickered with cold light with a gloomy smile on his face!
His cold gaze swept across the two old foxes in front of him and he said indifferently, “Thank you for your kind intentions. However, if 1 find out, or if anything happens to Yuwan…”
“Our Yang family will definitely accompany you to the end. We won’t hesitate even if we have to risk the destruction of our family!”
Li Man and Kang Shicheng also looked up.
Their eyes met with Yang Zhenhuai’s cold gaze.
Even though there was no aura leaking out, the temperature of the entire Yang family!
At this moment, it seemed to have decreased quite a bit…
On the other side, Yang Yuwan’s team was still two days away from Dragon Enlightenment City because all the guards were dead.
Therefore, the Scales Mercenary Group had been guarding the surroundings vigilantly!
Ye Qiubai and the other two didn’t let down their guard. Their auras kept scanning their surroundings.
As long as it wasn’t a Martial Monarch Realm expert who came personally,
presumably, they would discover it immediately.
In the carriage, Yang Yuwan was getting closer and closer to Dragon Enlightenment City, and the worry on her face was getting deeper and deeper.
There was an uneasy look in her eyes!
Even though…
She was the one who agreed to the marriage.
However, when it came to this…
She would also think about herself. What would her future be like?
She could not see the path ahead because the path ahead was already covered by a gray fog!
Perhaps it was to suppress the worry in her heart, she took the initiative to ask, “Brother Blackie, where are you guys from?”
Blackie closed his eyes and sensed if there was any killing intent around him.
Now that he heard Yang Yuwan’s words, he opened his eyes and said, “We came from a place called the Wilderness Region.”
Outsiders!
Yang Qi could not help but look at Blackie and the other two.
Were the talents of outsiders so high?
Because there was an inherent view in their thoughts.
That was, the talent and strength of the boundless realms had to be higher than other realms!
The so-called geniuses of the other realms came to the boundless realm.
They could only be considered to be ordinary cultivators with ordinary natural talent…
Ye Qiubai and the other two were clearly more than that.
Yang Qi admitted that no young talent could compare to them, even that person in the City Lord’s Manor in the Rising Clouds City.
However, Yang Yuwan did not reveal that kind of discriminatory gaze. Instead, she asked curiously, “Wilderness Region? I’ve never heard of it. What kind of place is it?”
‘What kind of place?’
Blackie stammered, “The difference… shouldn’t be big, right?”
There wasn’t much difference?
Yang Qi was stunned. “Could it be that the strength of the Wilderness Region is similar to the Endless Region? How can such an existence exist in the Low Latitude Realm?”
Ye Qiubai rolled his eyes.
Blackie was a body cultivator.
He did not need to rely on spiritual qi.
Therefore, to him, no matter how rich the spiritual qi was, it did not matter.
However, he was too lazy to explain himself.
It had nothing to do with him.
Along the way, Yang Yuwan chatted with Blackie.
However, Yang Yuwan was usually the one asking and Blackie was the one answering.
Blackie was like a block of wood after all.
He would rather kill a few magical beasts than take the initiative to find a topic to talk about!
Soon, they were only a day away from Dragon Enlightenment City.
Yang Yuwan sighed, “We’re almost there…”
Blackie asked, “Since you don’t want to marry, why don’t you just not marry?”
Yang Yuwan smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Blackie, some things aren’t that simple. If we were as talented as you, we wouldn’t have to come this far.”
Ye Qiubai and Shi Sheng suddenly opened their eyes as soon as he finished speaking!
They stood up!
Yang Qi and He Lin asked at the same time, “What happened?”
Ye Qiubai looked in front of him and said softly, “Get ready. A very powerful cultivator is rushing over. He’s probably… Oh, he’s already here..”
