Gu Luoyan pouted: "Tomorrow is Xiu'er's birthday, how can I just leave like this? Besides, before I came here, I looked for Uncle Mu, wanting to meet the Spiritual Goddess."
Wan Pingyuan was shocked. "Oh my God, why don't you just leave now? The whole Phoenix City is busy with this matter, and you want to meet the most important person as soon as you arrive? This is just me. If it were someone more suspicious, he would have some ideas about you!"
Gu Luoyan asked curiously, "What happened? How could the situation be so serious?"
"Don't mention it. Don't mention it."
Wan Pingyuan had a lot of grievances built up in his heart and had no place to vent them. He was almost unable to hold it in any longer.
They were all family members around, so this was a good opportunity to vent out his grievances. It would be best if he could scare away this niece who was a big star.
"Originally, my family asked me to come here to gild my reputation, and of course they also wanted to avoid the limelight. They specifically chose Phoenix City, a small place far away from the emperor. I wanted to stay here until the past events were over and everyone was old, and then I would go back..."
"But who could have imagined that in my first year here, before I could settle down at home, I would encounter a massive outbreak of wolf bandits. I was almost killed on the spot, and I died here for no apparent reason. Fortunately, someone rescued me, and later helped me to eliminate the wolf bandits. Those three years... I can still recall them in my dreams at midnight."
"After successfully wiping out the wolf bandits, I have settled down here and am living a comfortable life. Everything has been smooth sailing, and I haven't encountered any accidents. It's quiet and peaceful, just like being in a paradise, without any conflicts with the world. It's really good!"
"But starting less than two months ago, things started to happen one after another, and I was completely disappointed."
"First, the Spiritual Goddess discovered traces of the Greedy Wolf Witch Sect's disciples, and then the news of the Pojun lurking in the Second Middle School broke out. The situation suddenly became sensational, and I began to have a headache."
"Then it was step by step... I found out that the person who helped me wipe out the wolf bandits was actually a star master of the Wu Alliance. Everything that happened was manipulated by him. The so-called chance encounter was all a setup..."
"In that great battle, three infant transformations and one cloud transformation were killed! And the battle ended in a confusing and inexplicable way..."
Wan Pingyuan felt like he was about to collapse emotionally.
"All of the above are caused by the external forces of the Wu Alliance. It is natural to deal with foreign races, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, the natives of Phoenix City are also not at peace. The richest family in the city, the Meng family, and the thousand-year-old Ning family, have been making trouble like crazy one after another..."
"These two families are the pillars of Phoenix City and have a great influence. I am the biggest one, and I am getting more powerful!"
"I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but the Star Shield Administration also got involved at this critical juncture, and then the place where the Ning family's ancestral tomb was located collapsed, and the Dream Family Headquarters Building, the landmark building in Phoenix City, was about to collapse..."
"If we count carefully, there are so many Wu Alliance members lurking in Phoenix City. Whether they are masters from our side or the Wu Alliance, they are gathering more and more, and the strong ones are getting stronger, especially in these ten days!"
"No one trusts anyone now. Everyone is afraid that there might be a traitor in the Wu Alliance around them."
"Now in Phoenix City, the members of the Wu Alliance include Tan Lang, Po Jun, Qi Sha, Zuo Fu, and it is said that there is also a mysterious Star Envoy... His cultivation strength is at least at the Huayun level, or even at the peak of Huayun..."
"Among the personnel that the Star Shield Administration has arranged here, there are two Huayuns from the Dragon Blood Team... plus the help of the masters from this city..."
Wan Pingyuan felt as if his gallbladder was about to burst from his sighs, and his mouth felt bitter as he spoke.
"And the core of everything is the legend that there is a phoenix vein hidden in this city... The phoenix vein and soul abnormality will soon occur, probably in the next few days..."
"And the main target of the Phoenix Pulse Soul is exactly the Spiritual Thought Goddess that you are very interested in."
Wan Pingyuan spread his hands and said, "What do you want me to do in this chaotic situation? You still want to meet Ling Nian Tiannv, but that would only make things difficult for yourself. This is absolutely not feasible!"
Gu Luoyan frowned slightly and whispered: "It seems that the situation is really troublesome..."
“Who says it’s not?”
Wan Pingyuan slapped his thigh and said, "Just think about it. There are powerful people at the Huayun level causing trouble, and there are more than one or two of them. The time of planning and layout can be traced back to decades ago... This case can be called a big case even in Upper Kyoto!"
"It just so happens that such a major case is concentrated in Phoenix, a tiny place like this where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away and the rabbits don't shit..."
"It happens to be under my rule!"
"How unlucky do you think I am to be the governor?"
"Isn't this just bad luck?"
Wan Pingyuan wanted to cry but had no tears. He walked to the door and pointed at the night sky: "Did you see it... With your eyesight, you should be able to see... that building that was once the tallest building in Phoenix City, the headquarters of the Meng Group."
Gu Luoyan looked at what was happening, and his face was filled with shock: "I can see clearly, the moonlight is good today, but why do I look... a little slanted, am I dazzled?"
Wan Pingyuan smiled miserably: "My eyes are blurry. It would be great if you were blurry. Everything was fine yesterday, but it turned out like this today..."
"It tilts this much in a day? It must be almost thirty degrees?" Gu Luoyan was shocked.
"This is a big problem!"
“It’s more than a big problem.”
Wan Pingyuan shook his head. "This landmark building in Phoenix is doomed to fall! Either tonight or tomorrow, anyway... this building is doomed."
"And the Meng Group, as a star enterprise in the entire Central Plains region, just today, all kinds of evidence of tax evasion and other illegal crimes were laid out on a table..."
"It is estimated that the Meng Group will have a hard time getting through this stage."
"The day of the Phoenix Soul's emanation has not yet arrived, and the great wave has not yet been completely stirred up. Here, a family that has been passed down for two thousand years has already been crippled... and it is estimated that there will be no descendants."
"The Meng Group, a leading star enterprise, will most likely follow in the footsteps of the Ning family and completely decline."
"Once the Phoenix Pulse rises, the battle between the masters of the Wu Alliance and the Star Soul Continent will be unprecedentedly fierce! At that time, Phoenix City will either survive or face doomsday, and all the people will be devastated."
Wan Pingyuan almost begged: "Yan'er, I know you have been protected since you were a child and you don't have any idea about these things, but listen to my uncle-in-law... Let's go!"
"This matter is too big! I really can't handle it!"
"I'm in this situation and can't get out of it, but you still have a chance."
Wan Pingyuan sighed bitterly: "If the Witch Alliance takes advantage of the Phoenix Soul this time... I'm afraid that even the King of Zhongyuan will suffer."
"I have now gathered all the masters of the Governor's Mansion together. During this period of time, no one is allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to suffer any losses. We are preparing for the battle of Phoenix Soul. This is a do-or-die battle, hoping for a lucky break..."
Wan Pingyuan sighed softly.
He seemed to have smelled the strong smell of blood from that battle.
It was absolutely impossible that there would be no casualties in that battle, and it was even more impossible that there would be few casualties!
And almost every one of those who died in that battle was a top master whose death would be heartbreaking!
"Uncle-in-law, you probably don't know that I have two masters of Qi-gazing by my side."
Gu Luoyan groaned, "As soon as they entered the city, they saw something... The Feng Shui of this city has turned into a mess so far, and the evil spirit covers the sky and the sun."
Wan Pingyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Looking at the qi? Is there such a thing?"
"Yes."
Gu Luoyan showed hesitation and said, "The reason why I don't want to leave is actually because I am in danger. It's just that I know nothing about this business, so I dare not speak rashly. But my uncle also said that the crux of the enemy and us is the Phoenix Pulse Soul, which makes sense... It's better to let the two knowledgeable ones take a look, maybe they can gain something else."
Wan Pingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "That makes sense... It's indeed worth a look. It will do no harm."
Gu Luoyan turned around and said, "Go and ask Elder Gao and Elder Wang to come over."
Beside him, a breeze moved slightly, and then there was no other movement. The breeze was about as strong as a person's light breath. If it weren't for a cultivator with sensitive senses concentrating his attention, he would not be able to detect it at all!
Wan Pingyuan's eyes were filled with surprise: "Yan'er, is this what your grandfather assigned to you?"
"Well, grandpa asked the two masters to protect me."
"Your grandfather is really good to you." Wan Pingyuan admired sincerely.
The legendary Divine Shadow Guards have always been the most mysterious group of people among the high-ranking officials of the Yanwu Empire. Their duty is simply to protect!
And only these people are qualified to be called Divine Shadows.
The second-rate ones can only be called shadows at best. Apart from the fact that shadows can never reach the level of perfection, shadows also leave traces.
As for the divine shadow, there is no trace at all!
A moment later, two tall and thin old men were led into the living room.
"Governor Wan, I have long heard of your great name."
They both saluted.
"I am Gao Wencheng, Wang Shiyu, and I am honored to meet Governor Wan."
"You are too polite, Masters."
Wan Pingyuan said, "I just heard Yan'er say that the two masters have a lot of insights into the current situation of this city. I am here to hear your opinions. Please feel free to give me some advice."
Gao Wencheng smiled faintly and said, "If I just talk about it here, Governor Wan may not understand it. To explain the Feng Shui pattern of a place in detail, the most intuitive way is to go to a high altitude, choose a suitable angle, and look down from a high place to overlook the whole situation."
"oh?"
Wang Shiyu pondered and said, "I just went to a high altitude to take a quick look, but unfortunately I am trapped in the city and it is difficult to see clearly. The current plan should be to find a high place where we can overlook the entire Phoenix City. In my opinion, it is best to look from due north to south."
