Chapter 1554 - 614: The Jin Family’s Desperate Search for a Doctor

Chapter 1554: Chapter 614: The Jin Family’s Desperate Search for a Doctor

Although Elder Jing didn’t gain any advantage, at least Gongsun Zhi found out the members of the Huangquan Team.

The team leader of the Huangquan Team is called Ye Lingyue.

She is an under-twenty blonde girl.

It’s said that her strength isn’t high (not even having the Power of Reincarnation), but she’s cunning, and even Elder Jing suffered silently at her hands.

However, Gongsun Zhi didn’t list Ye Lingyue as the first suspect, instead, he listed Guangzi as the prime suspect.

Because earlier, it was Guangzi who poisoned Elder Jing and lured away his two concubines.

Ye Lingyue was the second suspect.

Then there was the deputy team leader, Bo Qing...

After analyzing everyone, Gongsun Zhi couldn’t determine who holds the Five Poison Treasure Record, so he could only investigate secretly.

Gongsun Zhi glanced at the Red List, where apart from the names of the three teams that advanced, it mentioned that they would be dispatched to Senluo Wanxiang City.

By the time calculation, the Huangquan Team should have already departed.

But now, he was still a wanted criminal; how could he inconspicuously enter Senluo Wanxiang City?

Gongsun Zhi was troubled, when his gaze fell on another notice on the bulletin board.

It was a yellow notice, commonly known as a commission notice.

This kind of commission notice is different from a regular task notice issued by the City Lord’s Mansion.

The City Lord’s notice only rewards Merit Points.

However, this kind of notice is usually a civilian notice, offering a variety of rewards, which can be Merit Points or other valuable items, sometimes even rare positions.

Typically, only large families and sects release such notices.

"Seeking skilled doctors to treat difficult ailments. Sincere parties can visit the Xiake Hall in Senluo Wanxiang City."

The notice’s signature section bore the family seal of the Jin Family.

Outer Heaven Jin Family?

Seeing this notice, Gongsun Zhi was overjoyed.

If there is any force in the Ancient Nine Provinces that can contend with the Jiu Provinces Alliance, it would undoubtedly be those extraordinary Outer Heaven Families.

The Jin Family is also one of the large Outer Heaven Families.

Judging by the notice, it seems the leader of the Jin Family’s representative team is ill, with a hard-to-cure serious illness, so they posted notices everywhere in major cities seeking skilled doctors.

The notice did not specify a reward; if he could cure someone from the Jin Family, perhaps he could secure a position in the Jin Family’s representative team, and then secretly make some moves, which would make it easier to deal with the Huangquan Team.

Gongsun Zhi decided immediately to go to Senluo Wanxiang City.

A few days later, Ye Lingyue and the others were already near Senluo Wanxiang City.

The journey was indeed, as Tang Tiansong mentioned earlier, not peaceful.

Demon beasts were extremely active, and several times they encountered ambushes from them.

Fortunately, Ye Lingyue and the others responded in time, preventing any casualties.

But even so, everyone was still full of ambition, eagerly anticipating the arrival at Senluo Wanxiang City.

"Ahead is Senluo Wanxiang City, once inside, everyone can finally get a good night’s sleep."

Tang Tiansong reminded everyone.

A majestic and imposing mountain city appeared on the distant horizon.

Unlike other experiences Ye Lingyue had on the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, Senluo Wanxiang City was built on a mountain.

However, despite being a mountain city, Senluo Wanxiang City was not built on the mountaintop.

Or to say, the original mountaintop area no longer existed.

Everyone looked up.

They saw that the mountain ahead appeared to have its summit shaved flat as if by a sword.

A miraculous city stood atop it.

About Senluo Wanxiang City, there’s another popular anecdote.

Legend has it that when Senluo Wanxiang City was constructed, due to the treacherous terrain of the mountaintop, building it was extremely difficult. The Jiu Provinces Alliance expended considerable effort and lost thousands of Demon Hunters but failed to succeed.

Later, when the then-leader of the Jiu Provinces Alliance learned of this, he hovered in the air above the mountain and with one sword stroke leveled the mountaintop.

That’s when Senluo Wanxiang City was built.

After its construction, the Jiu Provinces Alliance managed the city for many years.

Eventually, the area became a strategic pass to the Central Plains, controlled by two major Demon Kings.

Whether Human Clan or Demon Clan, anyone wishing to invade the Central Plains or the Ancient Nine Provinces had to pass through Senluo Wanxiang City.

Therefore, Senluo Wanxiang City is also called the "Throat of the Central Plains."

It is also the only super city among the top ten on the Ancient Nine Provinces in the Central Plains.

On the Jiu Provinces Heaven List, Senluo Wanxiang City ranks third.

"Of course, the tale of leveling the mountaintop with a single sword stroke is just a legend. As far as I know, there aren’t many Great Powers on the entire Ancient Nine Provinces Continent today who can achieve that."

Tang Tiansong pointed at Senluo Wanxiang City, explaining the city’s story.

Ye Lingyue listened, but she was nonchalant.

Who says a single sword cannot level a mountaintop? She had seen such power before; Wu Zhong’s Emperor’s Nine Heavens could do just that.

Not to mention, at that time, Wu Zhong’s demonic power was sealed.

However... if even a leader of the Jiu Provinces Alliance could only level it, doesn’t that mean the Jiu Provinces Alliance’s power is nowhere near that of the Demon Clan?

Fortunately, the Ancient Nine Provinces has always been under the lingering power of Marquis Zhongyuan, otherwise, if the Demon Clan truly invades, it might be hard to withstand.

Or is it that the Demon Clan has long realized the weaknesses of the Human Clan, leading to their increasingly frequent activities lately?

While Ye Lingyue pondered, she had unknowingly arrived outside the gates of Senluo Wanxiang City.

Looking closely at this mountain city, Ye Lingyue privately considered that Senluo Wanxiang City, compared to Xuanwu City, was much more bustling.

When Ye Lingyue and the others arrived, it was already around dusk, yet the gates of Senluo Wanxiang City were still bustling with people everywhere.

"Make way, make way."

Amidst a thunderous sound of cartwheels, a few burly Demon Hunters, bare-chested, walked past pushing a giant cart.

On that cart was a massive demon beast, weighing over a thousand pounds.

Its wounds were still bleeding, indicating it had been recently hunted.

It was a flying-type Lizard Dragon, at a Demon General Level, with strength close to the Peak of Small Divine Power Realm of the Human Clan.

Therein the demon beasts Ye Lingyue and the others had seen earlier, only the mutated Azure Dragon Crocodile matched such a colossal size.

And given its strength, this Lizard Dragon’s power wouldn’t be inferior to the previously mutated Azure Dragon Crocodile.

Quite fitting for the core region of the Central Plains; beasts of such levels are quite common.

Ye Lingyue and the others saw them and were all astounded.

"Brother Tang, why do these people bring demon beasts back into the city?"

Ye Lingyue saw the Sub-Dragon being pushed into the city, then asked Tang Tiansong beside her.

"If I’m not mistaken, they’re likely heading to the auction at the Exotic Treasures Pavilion inside the city. Such a large Lizard Dragon, if it died less than 24 hours ago, its demon beast meat, bones, and demon core could fetch a handsome price."

Tang Tiansong casually explained.
