Chapter 258: The First Approach to the Imperial City of Wuhuang Kingdom
This day.
Wuhuang Kingdom, Imperial City.
As the richest and most powerful country in the entire Mowu Continent.
The Imperial City located in its center is naturally the largest city in the entire Mowu Continent with the largest scale, the richest cultivation resources, and the most complex forces.
There is a saying in Wuhuang Kingdom that is widely spread.
"When you come to the imperial city of Wuhuang Kingdom, don't think about being alone. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer a big loss."
This shows how complicated the situation is.
In the imperial city, in front of a small chamber of commerce.
An ordinary-looking middle-aged man wearing a fishing hat came here.
He glanced at the plaque above the door with the words "Heyun Chamber of Commerce" engraved on it.
"Tsk tsk... Xiliang Kingdom is so prosperous, but only such a small chamber of commerce can be established here."
The middle-aged man clicked his tongue and immediately walked towards the door.
There is no doubt that he is exactly what Ye Qingchen is pretending to be using [Mimetic Mist]!
"Stop! Who let you in?!"
The guard on the side took a look at the tattered clothes on his body and frowned.
Staying in Wuhuang Country for many years has caused some subtle changes in his temperament.
They would never let a person wearing rags like this in.
Ye Qingchen just glanced at him lightly.
With just this glance, the guard suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and his whole body felt as if he was being stared at by a god of death!
"This was given to me by your General President."
Ye Qingchen withdrew his gaze and calmly took out a token.
The guard frowned, took the token, and looked at it carefully.
The token in his hand is entirely made of bluish white, which represents their highest level. The material is extremely warm and delicate, and it is definitely made of rare and good materials.
In addition to the words "Heyun Chamber of Commerce" on the front, the three words "Shang Yunqi" are also engraved on the back.
Shang Yunqi!
The guard was horrified.
Of course this name is familiar to him.
Shang Yunqi is the new president of their Heyun Chamber of Commerce!
I heard that there is a ruthless person standing behind him!
And the person who can be given this token by Shang Yunqi, without even thinking about it, must be a big boss with an extremely transcendent status!
And even if it wasn't, with just this token, the guard would honestly let him go.
"This guest! I have offended you just now, please forgive me!"
The guard hurriedly said, while bending at ninety degrees and respectfully offering the token he just took away with both hands.
"This, this is your token..."
"Well, the attitude of apologizing is okay. I'll spare you this time."
Ye Qingchen nodded lightly and walked straight towards the rest area on the first floor, leaving a message for the doorman at the same time.
"Call your manager here, I have something to tell him."
Do you still want to call the manager over?
The guard had vaguely sensed that something big was about to happen.
But given his status, no matter what happened, it was destined to have nothing to do with him.
So he had no choice but to do as he was told and ran up to the second floor.
Soon, a woman walked down from the second floor.
This woman was wearing a purple cheongsam, which highlighted her slim figure and attracted the attention of many people in the hall.
Although her appearance is not as good as that of Ning Suyan, Murong Yu, Xia Qingyao and the others that Ye Qingchen has seen, she still has a different look.
"Wuhuang Kingdom Heyun Branch Song Zhiyu, I have met you, sir." Song Zhiyu, who always had an indifferent expression to outsiders, saw the middle-aged man. He first saluted politely, and then showed a smile.
"I wonder why you are here, sir?"
"I came here only for three things."
Ye Qingchen slowly stretched out three fingers and said in a calm tone:
"First, I need you to find out as much detail about the imperial city as possible. The more detailed the better. I will come to pick it up in three days."
Hearing this first request, Song Zhiyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If you just try to find out more about the situation in the imperial city, that would be fine.
She was afraid that middle-aged men would suddenly open their mouths.
"Second, I need you to help me collect things that can help me understand martial arts. The effect must be good, and money is not an issue."
Having just plundered the entire Fan family treasury, he was now at the richest time in his wallet.
Whether it's gold coins or Purple Qi Abyss Crystals, he has enough confidence!
"This... thing that can help you understand martial arts is very rare..."
Song Zhiyu considered it and said: "Even if it can be found, the price will definitely be an astronomical figure... Sir, are you sure you really need it?"
"certainly."
Ye Qingchen said without thinking.
Song Zhiyu had no choice but to keep this matter in mind.
"Third, help me find out what Zhenlei Sect is doing recently."
Ye Qingchen took a sip of the tea brought by the servant.
"Zhenleizong?!"
Song Zhiyu was startled and asked tentatively:
"Forgive Zhiyu for taking the liberty, may I ask, sir, what is the purpose of investigating this...?"
Who in the entire imperial city doesn't know that the one who is in the limelight right now is Zhenlei Sect!
"It's nothing. I have a friend who is practicing in Zhenlei Sect, so I just wanted to show my concern."
Ye Qingchen said without blushing and without a beating heart.
Even Song Zhiyu could see this poor excuse.
But of course she couldn't expose him in public.
She thought carefully for a while and replied:
"Sir, I can tell you this matter now."
"Zhenlei Sect has been watching over the Ye family for the past two years. Everyone in the Ye family is being managed by Zhenlei Sect."
"If anyone in the Ye family wants to go out, they need to report it to Zhenlei Sect first, and they will be monitored by Zhenlei Sect people at all times."
"If someone wants to take the opportunity to escape, once caught by Zhenlei Sect, they will be directly put into the dungeon and tortured!"
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen couldn't help but frown.
"Did the Ye family commit something? As for allowing such a large sect to be treated like this?"
He wanted to get more different information.
However, the answers Song Zhiyu told him were still almost the same as what he knew.
However, Song Zhiyu paused and suddenly whispered:
"But not everyone in the Imperial City knows these truths."
"One year ago, I don't know when, a rumor suddenly started spreading in the Imperial City."
"It is said that there is a demon in the Ye family. He is powerful and has an extremely evil personality. He has killed countless people."
"In order to punish this demon, Fenglei Holy Pavilion personally went out to kill this demon completely."
"In order to prevent the devil from appearing again, Fenglei Holy Pavilion asked Zhenlei Sect to take care of the Ye family, and sent people to the Ye family every time to monitor the situation in real time."
"That's it...actually it's the disciples of Zhenlei Sect who want to abuse the younger generation of the Ye family."
Song Zhiyu's voice became softer at the end.
Afraid of being heard by anyone.
Ye Qingchen's brows suddenly sank, and an unknown anger burned in his heart.
You actually spread such despicable and shameless rumors to the outside world!
The external image of the Ye family suddenly became as smelly as a rat crossing the street.
And the Fenglei Holy Pavilion suddenly became like a saint, punishing evil and evil, and further confirmed the name of "Holy Land".
This kind of confusing right and wrong made Ye Qingchen almost lose control of his anger.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, and his face darkened slightly: "So that's it... It seems that Zhenlei Sect is nothing more than this."
"Ahem, sir, you'd better be a little more careful when talking here."
Song Zhiyu glanced around and said in a low voice: "The forces in the imperial city are complicated, and the various informants are deeply intertwined."
"Perhaps when you and I speak out, some force's spy will overhear it."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen raised his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, the situation in the imperial city was so complicated.
Fortunately, before I came here, I had already used [Mimetic Mist] to hide my true appearance.
"Then, will Zhenlei Sect take any actions in the next few days?"
Ye Qingchen asked aloud.
"Hmm... It seems that in five days, Zhenlei Sect will send young disciples to the Ye family again to find the younger generation of the Ye family to be their sparring partners."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You go and do the first two things I mentioned as soon as possible."
Song Zhiyu hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked aloud:
"Sir, wouldn't you..."
"Don't think too much about things you shouldn't think about."
Ye Qingchen's voice suddenly turned cold and said: "If you make me impatient, I can ask Shang Yunqi to directly abolish your position and expel you from the Heyun Chamber of Commerce."
Song Zhiyu: "!!"
How could Shang Yunqi directly abolish her position?!
Could this person... be the ruthless person rumored to be standing behind Shang Yunqi?!
She didn't have time to think too much, and she quickly bowed to Ye Qingchen and apologized: "My lord, please forgive me! It was Zhiyu who was responsible! Zhiyu would never dare to do it again!"
"Okay, go and do your thing quickly."
Ye Qingchen waved his hand impatiently.
"Thank you, sir, for forgiving Zhiyu!"
Song Zhiyu said quickly: "Please rest assured, Sir, Zhiyu will definitely complete it as soon as possible!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she left the hall immediately.
After watching Song Zhiyu leave, Ye Qingchen sat on the sofa and pondered for a while, and finally got up and left the Heyun branch.
Seeing the flow of people coming and going, Ye Qingchen asked someone casually for inquiries, and then walked towards Zhenlei Sect.
After hearing the news revealed by Song Zhiyu, Ye Qingchen was no longer in a hurry to sneak into Ye's house to inquire about the situation.
Instead, he wanted to sneak into Zhenlei Sect and stir up chaos in Zhenlei Sect! There would be no peace!
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to suppress the anger in his heart!
At this moment, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, stopped, and looked towards the alley on the right.
After a moment, he lifted his steps and approached the alley.
As he got closer and closer to the breath he felt, a gray-black mist appeared on his body, covering his breath.
He then used [Mimetic Fog] to turn the mist into air that was invisible to the naked eye, and moved closer to the direction of the source of the breath.
As he got closer, Ye Qingchen gradually began to hear some sounds.
