Sunset City issued a bounty with generous rewards at that time in order to attract some powerful people. It was also in the past few days that some people took on several of the most difficult tasks in the bounty hall, and then successfully completed them all with extremely high efficiency.
Wu Wei followed the trail and indeed found those people, a small group of seven or eight people.
The people who accepted the bounty mission used newly obtained accounts, which means that this team was just established and there is no record of them in the Spiritual Master Alliance. Judging from their faces, this group of people should have just arrived in Xizhou.
The most important thing is that everyone in the team is very young, only about twenty years old, but all of them have reached the Earth Rank, and some have even reached Earth Rank three stars. Judging from the way they fight, they have rich combat experience.
In terms of talent, even Wu Wei, the young master of the Wu family, cannot compare to him. Even among the reserve young masters of aristocratic families, few can have such ability.
This group of people certainly didn't look like they were from any big family. Wu Wei sized them up for a few days and then approached them to make friends with them. These people seemed very friendly, knowing that he was the young master of the Wu family, they neither tried to curry favor with him too much nor kept their distance from him, which gave Wu Wei the feeling that he had found a treasure.
The young sword-wielding spiritualist who was at the head of the team introduced himself as Rong Yu. The one next to him had a rare spiritual essence, a strange black thin blade, named Ding Lian. There were several others behind him, and they introduced themselves as well. Each of them had a different spiritual essence and special abilities.
According to Rong Yu and Ding Lian, they were not from a famous family and had no background. They were just chosen by their master to practice when they were very young. Their master's sect was very small and lived in seclusion in the mountains, so it was not worth mentioning. Now was their first time to come out for training.
This made Wu Wei even more surprised.
I can actually pick up this kind of seedling that fell from the sky!
He didn't suspect too much. After all, these people were so talented, and he had never heard of them before. It seemed that this was the only explanation.
If someone intended to harm the Wu family and used seven or eight extremely talented youngsters as bait, even the Suye Immortal Mountain would not be so generous. Besides, he knew the strength of the Wu family and he was not so bold as to do so.
Yin Rongyu didn't expect that he would believe it so easily. He had prepared some excuses, but now they were useless.
It seems that people in the spiritual world have habitually forgotten Beizhou.
Or perhaps there had been no communication for many years, so rumors were rampant. Many people believed that Beizhou was now a scorched earth, and the people there were all living in dire straits. Let alone practicing, it would be very difficult to even survive, and it was definitely impossible for any talented people to emerge. Moreover, it had become a stereotype that it was extremely difficult to come out of Beizhou.
It's quite deceptive.
Yin Rongyu thought.
However, he did not take the initiative to deceive this time. After listening to the young master's orders and making friends with Wu Wei, Yin Rongyu also did a lot of things as required, gaining the other party's trust little by little.
Although he didn't understand why, he had no way to refuse Yin Jiuxiao's order.
Moreover, as long as they see the light of day, the Wu family will believe anything, no matter how outrageous it is.
According to Yin Rongyu, his spiritual essence is not a simple sword. This sword has his own sensitivity and has the special ability to predict danger in demonic cracks and beast tides.
Moreover, all the predictions he made afterwards unexpectedly coincided with what happened outside the city, allowing the Wu family to seize the opportunity and gain a lot of benefits while reducing losses, which made Wu Wei even more convinced.
The more Wu Wei looked at them, the more he felt that these people were no simple people. Even if he couldn't bring them into the Wu family, just making friends with them would be good enough. Who knows, it would be of great help in his fight for the position of an aristocratic family.
He quickly welcomed the people into the City Lord's Mansion, and during this period of time they stayed together. Some news that was difficult to get from outside could be learned from Wu Wei.
Wu Wei was also thankful that the Diemeng Pharmacy suddenly appeared and attracted the attention of the Shen family and Fuxin Miaoli, otherwise these people would have been taken away by their powerful force, and the Wu family would not have been able to catch them even at the corner of their clothes.
However, no matter how bad these people are, they are just like a rat shit in the pot of soup.
This group of people are very brave, but there are some incompetent people among them who are bullying others.
He was wearing a half silver mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. He must have been hiding it intentionally. Of course, this behavior was very common in the spirit world and could not be considered unique.
According to Rong Yu, this person is his cousin: "You... just call him Lin Xiao, um, don't mess with him on weekdays."
Wu Wei really dislikes this so-called Lin Xiao.
His status in the team was very special, and everyone in the team treated him like a master, but in Wu Wei's opinion, that was really a drag.
When they first met, the team was struggling against a small demonic crack, and there were also a few earth-level beasts watching nearby. Everyone was struggling. Only this person was sitting on a clean stone watching the show, his body spotless, as if he was not living in the same world as the others.
It would have been fine if he didn't take action. During the battle, a lone spirit beast saw the situation and was about to attack him, but he didn't move at all. He just called out "Ding Lian" slowly. Ding Lian, who was closest to him, didn't even care about the situation in front of him, and rushed over to deal with the spirit beast first.
Because of this, he turned suddenly and was hit by the ghost vine he had just been fighting with. The wound was as long as his forearm and looked very painful.
Not only did Lin Xiao not feel sorry, his tone also sounded very dissatisfied.
"You reacted too slowly. Be more careful next time."
Ding Lian bowed his head slightly to him, replied "yes", and then went up to fight again with the wound on his arm.
Wu Wei was shocked watching from the side.
There are such shameless bastards in the world!
What's even more terrifying is that everyone in the team is very respectful to him and they don't have any complaints. At first Wu Wei thought that this person was a hidden master who just didn't take action. However, he has been observing him closely for a few days and found that the spiritual power fluctuations of this person were too weak and he was also young, so it was absolutely impossible for him to disguise himself.
I am a five-star earth rank. It is not so easy to deceive me.
He was still curious and asked Rong Yu. The other party was silent for a while, with a strange look on his face, and then said: "He, he... married a very powerful wife, and she has been very kind to us. Well, we naturally have to protect him during this training."
This is the most annoying useless person with connections!
Wu Wei looked at him with sympathy, but he didn't know that Yin Rongyu wanted to roll his eyes even more than he did.
Yin Jiuxiao really wanted to train them, but he knew that Die Meng had already arrived, and the first batch of heavenly ranks were all protecting that side, so they naturally had to make their own plans as well.
But Yin Jiuxiao obviously didn't want to make it that simple. Attracting Wu Wei and then getting to know him was his order, and everything was arranged by him.
As for the so-called predictive ability, it is of course nonsense. All the information was given by Yin Jiuxiao.
He had his own silver mask, which he had used before. Knowing that he was going out, the president of the Equipment Refiners Association at Lingguan came personally to modify the spiritual weapon. Now the mask had a better effect than in his previous life, concealing his figure and face, as well as the style of his spiritual marrow.
He had no use for the concealing spiritual weapon from his previous life, which was a necklace, but he had snatched it away in advance and gave it to Yin Rongyu who was easily exposed.
Of course, the thing that the Yin family couldn't hide the most was the Nine Skies Absolute Clouds Sword. In the past, it could be seen at the first use, but now it was different.
Especially for a young man like Wu Wei, who is in his twenties and has no experience of direct confrontation with the Yin family, he would definitely not be able to recognize them.
The circumstances in the next life are different, but for Yin Jiuxiao, there is still a need for him to meet Wu Wei.
The reason for doing this now is to make the Wu family believe in their own judgment and make preparations before the disaster comes. They can make preparations in advance in many places in the north and west of the city, so that there will not be so many deaths like last time.
The south of the city is where the City Lord's Mansion is located. It is far away from the beast tide, and it was not affected even in the previous life, so there is no need to spend so much thought on it.
As for the east side of the city...
That was naturally left for himself, and the Silver Emperor Fox Wolf was there.
He also told Lin Qinghen about this matter. The large-scale sale of Diemeng's pills would be of some help in this matter.
Especially the Jifengsan, if used properly, can save the lives of some ordinary people.
There was not much time left, and it would take several days for the Shen family and Fu Xinmiao to hesitate. After Zhang Fu left, the disaster that swept the whole city would probably happen the next day.
And now, Leng Qiuyue, who was very smart, was still on the way, and the people from the Shen family hadn't arrived yet. He and Lin Qinghen also deliberately coordinated the time with each other, deciding when to sell what elixir and send materials to the other side. Even the time when Zhang Fu went out was not accidental, it was all deliberately planned, knowing that the other party would not release the eagle after seeing the rabbit, and if they didn't move forward step by step, they would not be able to contact them so quickly.
They can't make it in time to resolve this demonic energy rift, but they should be able to catch up to see Diemeng's great victory.
After the night passed, when Lin Qinghen woke up in the morning, he keenly smelled a hint of demonic energy in the air.
He was in the east of the city. According to Jiuxiao, the demonic energy crack was not in the city, but quite a distance away. However, the smell could drift here from such a distance.
Lin Qinghen sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and then he heard another animal howl. He couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, and then there were more and more howls, one after another, as if he was in a jungle.
After a while, Yu Yinyin knocked on his door and said to him, "It's time to start."
Naturally, Diemeng's small courtyard had been guarded long ago and was absolutely impregnable, but the situation outside was different and it was obvious that chaos had begun to break out.
"Wei Lin and the others are getting ready to leave," Yu Yinyin said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Since they intend to lure the Wu family away, Diemeng will naturally be the one to guard the east part of the city. They have heavenly rank, so nothing will go wrong.
However, when the demonic energy rift and the beast tide attacked the city at the same time, Shen Rujie, who was near the City Lord's Mansion, was caught off guard.
He contacted the Shen family in advance, and the old man of the Shen family was very interested, so he set out early in the morning. According to the location of the Shen family, he would probably pass through the east of the city today.
But at this point in time, no one knew where he had gone. When I received the message and contacted him, it turned out that the communication magic device was interfered by the evil spirit and I could no longer contact him.
The Shen family and Fu Xin Miao also had combat-type spiritualists with them, about ten earth-level and one heaven-level. When they heard there was a demonic rift and were entrusted by the Wu family, they naturally wanted to check it out to see if there was any profit to be made, but they were stopped by Shen Rujie.
"What's the point of thinking about profit?" He said anxiously, "The most important thing now is our old man. He doesn't have many people around him. If something goes wrong, none of us can handle it. Let's find him first!"
