Hanyue City is a small city on the southwest edge of the territory controlled by Kasyapa Academy. It borders the South China Sea to the south and the Monster Mountain Range to the west.
However, although Hanyue City is close to the sea and backed by mountains, it is very barren because a little past the South China Sea is the Falling Sea. Pirates are rampant here and no one dares to go to the sea!
The Demonic Beast Mountain Range to the west is also the most barren section of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, with no output at all.
Therefore, except for the local warriors, Hanyue City basically has few warriors who are willing to come. It can be said that it is a place that no dog wants to set foot in.
But today, two young warriors came to Hanyue City.
These two people are Luo Chen and Chen Chen!
The two of them rode in cars and changed horses all the way. After traveling for more than half a month, they finally arrived at Hanyue City.
"Fuck! Only a ghost would come to this miserable place if he had no choice!"
Looking at the slightly dilapidated walls of Hanyue City, Chen Chen, who was dressed in dust, spat on the ground angrily.
Hearing this, Luo Chen also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
But then, Luo Chen, who was sitting on the horse, straightened his back, pointed at the pedestrians going in and out of the city gate, and said with a smile:
“It’s not too bad, it’s still quite popular!”
"Let's go!"
After speaking, Luo Chen waved his riding whip and drove his horse towards the city gate.
Although Hanyue City is located in a remote location, as a city, there are still many people on the streets.
Luo Chen and the others got off their horses after entering the city gate, then led the horses through the crowd, and finally arrived at the Yang family in the north of the city.
As the controller of Hanyue City, the Yang family occupies a large mansion in the north of the city. There are six armored warriors guarding both sides of the mansion gate.
The arrival of Luo Chen and the two men instantly attracted the attention of the guards. They all put their hands on the handles of their swords and looked at Luo Chen and the two men warily.
One of the leading third-rate peak guards shouted Shen:
"This is the important place of the Yang family, who are you waiting for?"
Innate warriors don't show their aura, and acquired warriors can't tell their cultivation at all. However, Luo Chen and the two of them are not mortals at first glance, so the leading guard is quite polite.
Moreover, the leading guard had also received orders from his master, and looked at Luo Chen and the other two with thoughtful eyes.
"We are students from Kassapa Academy. We came here after receiving a mission. Let your family master come out and speak!"
Ling Chen glanced at the guard leader, took out the student token and waved it in front of his eyes, and the aura on his body was slowly revealed at this time.
"I've met two seniors!"
Seeing the token and feeling the innate aura on Ling Chen's body, several guards hurriedly saluted.
After standing up, one of the guards turned around and ran into the mansion, but the leader of the guards hurriedly said:
"Two seniors, our head of the family has already given instructions. If any high-ranking disciples from Kassapa College arrive, please come directly to the house. Please come!"
After saying that, the guard leader stepped aside and extended his hand to invite you.
The two guards next to them hurriedly ran over to help Luo Chen and the others hold their horses.
Seeing this, Luo Chen and Chen Chen looked at each other, then threw the reins to the guard and walked into Yang's house.
The leader of the guard led the way, leading Luo Chen and the two of them directly to the Yang family lobby.
However, before entering the lobby, an old man in brocade robes who was in the early stage of Xiantian came out of the lobby with three or four first-rate warriors.
"Haha! I, Yang Zhenting, the head of the Yang family, have met two high-ranking disciples of Kasyapa Academy!"
The old man in brocade robes stood in front of the hall and bowed his hands towards Luo Chen and the others, while several people behind him also hurriedly saluted.
"Master Yang, you're welcome!"
Although Yang Zhenting was in the early stage of Xiantian, Luo Chen and Luo Chen still politely returned the greeting.
The few people exchanged pleasantries and got to know each other, and then Yang Zhenting hurriedly welcomed Luo Chen and the others into the lobby and ordered the servants to serve tea.
I didn’t want to stay here any longer in the early morning. I didn’t even look at the tea on the table after sitting down. I waved my hands and said:
"Master Yang, let's not waste any time. What's going on with the mission issued by your family? Tell us in detail!"
"Haha! Since Disciple Ling Gao is so anxious, let me talk about it first!"
Yang Zhenting was also anxious. Seeing that Chen Chen's words were playing into his own hands, he stopped smiling and said solemnly:
"Some time ago, miners disappeared from time to time in my mine. After my family sent people to search, they found that an early stage fourth-level monster entered the mine. I later went in to hunt it, but it was too fast, and the mine
It’s so intricate and complex that I am the only one in the Yang family who is gifted. I really can’t do anything about it, so I can only ask for help from Kasyapa Academy.”
After saying that, Yang Zhenting showed a wry smile on his face.
"Is it just the early stage of the fourth level? That's a trivial matter!"
Hearing this, Ling Chen waved his hand casually. The fourth-level early-stage monster was equivalent to the innate early-stage strength. With him and Luo Chen, two mid-stage innate masters, it was simply a killing opportunity.
However, Luo Chen frowned and said doubtfully:
"Master Yang, there should be someone guarding the entrance to the mine, right? Why don't you know when a monster enters the mine, and you don't find it until someone disappears? Also, what kind of monster is that?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Qing Chen also frowned and looked at Yang Zhenting suspiciously.
"You two don't know something!"
Seeing this, Yang Zhenting smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said slowly:
"The monster was too fast. I only met it once. It was still an afterimage. I didn't see clearly what kind of monster it was. The reason why I determined that it was an early stage fourth-order monster was because of the remnants of it.
You can tell by the scent of his hair.”
"As for why it entered the mine without being discovered, that's because some of the mines collapsed, and some openings were connected to the outside without being discovered. It may have entered through those openings. This kind of thing has happened before.
, except this time a big guy got in."
"Is that so?"
Luo Chen's eyes flashed and he sat aside without speaking.
But in the early morning, it didn't matter. After listening to Yang Zhenting's explanation, he stood up and said:
"Okay, now that everything is clear, let's set out immediately and go into the mine to hunt down the monster without further delay!"
Hearing this, Yang Zhenting pressed his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two have come a long way and have a night's rest first. Moreover, the mine is outside the Monster Mountain Range and the road is not close. There is no need to go there tomorrow."
Late!"
"In that case, let's follow the arrangements of the Yang family!"
Chen Chen pondered for a while and then nodded. The Yang family was not in a hurry about anything, and he had nothing to say, so he sat down again.
Immediately, Yang Zhenting ordered someone to hold a banquet. After entertaining Luo Chen and the others, he arranged for the two of them to live in a small courtyard.
That night!
In a room in the Yang family's backyard.
A middle-aged man looked at Yang Zhenting on the chair with a frown and said worriedly:
"Dad! If that monster is really that thing, and those people are behind it, do you think the two students from Kasyapa College will blame us for not making things clear?"
"Probably not!"
Yang Zhenting shook his head and muttered: "We can't talk nonsense if we don't understand this kind of thing! What's more, these are just our guesses. It's hard to say whether it's that thing or not. We're not hiding it!"
Saying that, Yang Zhenting sighed again and said slowly: "This is the tragedy of the small family. We have to be careful in our words and deeds. If this matter becomes big and ends in an anticlimax, it is very likely that the city of Kasyapa will be offended.
Let’s be honest! You know, there are still several families keeping an eye on our iron ore, and they are waiting for us to make mistakes so that they can ask for the mining rights from Kasyapa City.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man fell silent.
And Yang Zhenting sighed again and again after finishing speaking.
But then, Yang Zhenting smiled again and continued:
"But in the end, even that thing is fine. If we take that thing away, the two students might get additional contribution points as a reward, and they won't blame us! And with those two innate mid-term masters here, then
Nothing can make any waves!"
"Dad is right!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's worried eyes lit up, and he felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
Immediately, the two father and son began to discuss tomorrow's affairs.
