Although they were envious, Emperor Yaoyue and others also understood that the reason Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi were treated this way was entirely because of their astonishing talents and potential.
If Yang Qi was taken away and taught by the Martial Saint because he had the upper hand, then Emperor Wu Shi was just like them. He was trained in the army and was discovered because of his own performance.
Therefore, in this matter, they can only envy, and can only blame themselves for not having enough talent and potential to attract the attention of the Martial Saint.
"Then why are you here?"
Yang Qi looked at Emperor Yaoyue and the other two with a little curiosity. Although this place was under the jurisdiction of Yujing City, it was still some distance away from Yujing City. He was quite surprised that Emperor Yaoyue and the other two appeared here.
After all, according to what Emperor Yaoyue said, apart from carrying out some tasks, they are either practicing or wandering around in this world.
Because of their identity as Yujing City’s army, even if they leave Yujing City, their level of safety will be much higher than that of ordinary practitioners.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yaoyue did not hide anything and spoke directly, "Recently, there have been rumors that a treasure of the Fallen Martial Saint Realm has appeared nearby. We were ordered to investigate and found a treasure map. We knew that the treasure was located here, so we rushed over to investigate."
So that's it! After hearing Yaoyue Emperor's explanation, Yang Qi also understood why Yaoyue Emperor and others appeared here. Not only were they ordered to investigate the matter, but they also got the treasure map, so they naturally came to find out.
"Haven't you asked the city lord about this matter?"
Yang Qi asked with a hint of curiosity.
Because he had already left Wu Yu, it was not good for him to ask Wu Yu about everything, as that would only make him appear too incompetent. Moreover, when Wu Yu asked Yang Qi to go out for training before, his attitude was very clear, that is, when Yang Qi was out there, he had to rely on himself for everything.
Unless there is a real threat to his life, Wu Yu will not take action. Even if there is a real threat to his life, once Wu Yu takes action, the fate between the two will be over.
Yang Qi hoped that after his own experience, he could continue to practice with Wu Yu for a period of time, because he would not seek help from Wu Yu unless it was absolutely necessary.
In comparison, the City Lord of Yujing City is a cultivator under Wu Yu's command, and has received Wu Yu's orders to take care of Emperor Yaoyue and others. It is obviously more appropriate to ask the City Lord of Yujing City than Wu Yu.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiuyan sighed slightly and said, "We once asked the city lord, but he said he knew nothing and told us to leave the matter to us."
“This…” Yang Qi was slightly startled when he heard this. In his opinion, the attitude of the Yujing City Lord was very problematic.
After all, that involves the treasure left behind by the Martial Saint Realm. Not to mention for the Martial Emperor Realm, even for the Martial Saint Realm, it cannot be said to be unattractive.
If it makes sense that Wu Yu and other Martial Saints did not get involved because they knew the origin of the treasure, then it is a bit unreasonable that the Lord of Yujing City is only at the Ultimate Martial Emperor level and dare not even think about the treasure left behind by the Martial Saint.
"There seems to be something wrong with the attitude of this city lord."
Yang Qi said with a serious expression.
“We noticed that, too.”
Emperor Yaoyue nodded slightly and continued, "However, the city lord has been instructed by the Martial Saint Realm, so he should not take the initiative to harm us. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the Martial Saint Realm. Therefore, we guess that the city lord is not convenient to say it for some reason, but he should not be harming us."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi could not help but nod. He knew better than Emperor Yaoyue and others that the mayor of Yujing City was a cultivator under Wu Yu's command, and he dared not slack off on Wu Yu's orders.
Therefore, it is hard to make sense to say that the mayor of Yujing City deliberately harmed Emperor Yaoyue. Don't forget that behind Emperor Yaoyue and others, there is not only Wu Yu, who is at the level of Martial Saint, but also the Martial Saint who taught Emperor Wu Shi.
Unless the mayor of Yujing City has a problem with his brain, he would never do anything to intentionally endanger the safety of Emperor Yaoyue and others.
"You got the treasure map too?"
Emperor Yaoyue looked at Yang Qi and said.
They all thought that Yang Qi was still practicing with the Martial Saint Realm beings and had never expected that Yang Qi would appear near Yujing City. If Yang Qi had not fought with the two Martial Emperor peak practitioners before, and the aura of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix bloodline that erupted had not been sensed by Emperor Yaoyue, Emperor Yaoyue and the other two would not have come here at all.
“I got a spot by accident.”
Yang Qi nodded slightly, then sighed, "But I didn't expect that this matter has spread and attracted so many practitioners who want to kill people and steal treasures."
If Yang Qi had known the situation here earlier, he would have been much more cautious. He would not have been targeted by two practitioners at the peak of the Martial Emperor level as soon as he arrived nearby.
Fortunately, those two Martial Emperor peak practitioners were only at the first level of the Martial Emperor peak. If the one coming was at the second level of the Martial Emperor peak, even if Yang Qi played all his cards, he would definitely not be the opponent's opponent.
"The news of this matter spread very quickly indeed. According to our investigation, it must have been spread intentionally by a cultivator."
Emperor Yaoyue paused for a moment, then continued, "Unfortunately, the place where the news spread is not within the jurisdiction of Yujing City, so it is not convenient for us to continue investigating."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi could not help but nod his head. The army of Yujing City could only govern the area within the jurisdiction of Yujing City. As for other areas, they belonged to other urban areas. If Emperor Yaoyue and others rashly went to investigate, not only would they be in trouble, but they would also cause considerable trouble to the city lord of Yujing City.
Although Emperor Yaoyue and others were under the care of the Lord of Yujing City because of Wu Yu's order, they were not ungrateful and would make it difficult for the Lord of Yujing City.
Yang Qi looked at Emperor Yaoyue in front of him and asked again, "Are there a lot of treasure maps
How come there are so many practitioners coming here? "
"There aren't that many treasure maps, but there are quite a few. According to the information we have so far, a large number of practitioners have mysteriously disappeared after entering the areas indicated on the treasure maps."
Emperor Jiuyan said in a deep voice.
The practitioners who mysteriously disappeared might have been killed by other practitioners, or they might have entered the place where the treasure is located. Even if it was only a part of them, it was definitely not a small number compared to the number they had detected before.
Yang Qi's expression froze, his eyes looked into the depths of the forest, and he muttered to himself, "With so many practitioners, what on earth is that martial saint going to do?"
