Chapter 1095 Breaking the Barrier
Just as Chen Yang was unsure of what the City Lord of Yaogu City intended, the other party suddenly spoke, "Establishing such a black market in the ancient battlefield, you are quite bold."
"Aren't you afraid that one day I'll lose my temper and tear it all down?"
"Of course, I know you have the He Dan Venerable backing you, but even if I truly killed you, would those people really come?"
"Even if I don't make a move then, those who have a blood feud with you among the Yaodu forces might cross borders directly."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Yang's mind began to race.
The City Lord of Yaogu City was convinced that he had the He Dan Venerable behind him?
Although Chen Yang was relieved that the City Lord of Yaogu City thought this way, another problem arose.
Who exactly was the He Dan Venerable the other party was thinking of?
This person had enmity with many powerful individuals in the Yaodu forces...
Chen Yang truly wished he could knock open the City Lord of Yaogu City's head, or ask him directly.
"Although my father has some blood feuds with certain individuals in the Yaodu forces, he also has a few good friends. You don't need to worry about my safety."
Chen Yang's heart pounded as he said this, but his face showed no hint of nervousness. Instead, he started eating on his own.
This sudden remark completely bewildered the City Lord of Yaogu City.
Which of the human race's bloodlines left behind in the Underworld did not try their best to hide their whereabouts and origins?
For fear of being discovered and annihilated by the people of the Underworld.
But now... this Young Master Chen was saying that the human bloodline had colluded with people from the Yaodu forces?
A possibility flashed through the City Lord of Yaogu City's mind.
The City Lord of Yaogu City felt as if he had solved a long-standing mystery. His eyes gleamed with excitement, "No wonder, so that's how it is!"
"I didn't expect you people to be so ruthless!"
"You even attack your own kin!"
"I knew it! The people of the Underworld have been strictly guarding for years, yet you still have remnants. Now that I think about it, if someone from the Yaodu forces helped you, then everything makes sense."
"And the person you mentioned is likely someone from the Yaodu Prefecture, right? Is there a Prefecture Lord?"
The City Lord of Yaogu City looked at Chen Yang with burning eyes, as if he had heard some explosive gossip.
Chen Yang's chopsticks almost fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It seemed he had just said something incredibly significant...
Facing the City Lord of Yaogu City's questioning, Chen Yang naturally could not answer directly.
But just as Chen Yang was contemplating how to utter a sentence that would make the City Lord of Yaogu City's mind go blank, the City Lord of Yaogu City suddenly spoke and answered his own question.
"It should be. Other than the Prefecture Lord, no one else would have such power to accomplish all this."
"I presume that the plan back then succeeded with your help."
"Your He Dan Venerable father sent you here, probably not just to establish a black market and connect with the Martial World, right?"
"Are you planning to be a spy?"
Chen Yang's mouth twitched. He felt as if he was starting to understand something.
Martial artist spy! Himself! Kin!
Were there other human bloodlines hidden in the dark in this Underworld besides the dozen or so people he knew?
Combining what he had just said, a bead of sweat appeared on Chen Yang's forehead!
And to the City Lord of Yaogu City, all of this proved that his guess was correct!
The City Lord of Yaogu City's spirits lifted, "A ruthless method, but it's normal for you to be a spy. If someone from the Yaodu Prefecture were sent, they would be detected immediately."
"Since you are kin and your cultivation techniques have some similarities, you should be able to integrate quickly."
"When the time comes, the grand plan of Yaodu will surely be implemented smoothly."
"Excellent! At that time, Yaogu City will surely be the foremost city of Yaodu!"
Chen Yang didn't know what the City Lord of Yaogu City was thinking, but the words "grand plan of Yaodu" struck a chord with Chen Yang.
Chen Yang had discussed this matter with Ruan Dongjun before.
And sending Zhou Zeyao, whom he trusted the most and was the strongest, back was also for this matter.
"City Lord, I know very little about the grand plan of Yaodu. I wonder if you could..." Chen Yang decided to directly ask the City Lord of Yaogu City!
The City Lord of Yaogu City looked Chen Yang up and down curiously, then suddenly realized, "Eh? You don't know anything? That's true, given your age, you likely haven't had access to such information. You've come to the right person. If you asked others, they would genuinely not know."
"Of course, if I weren't the City Lord of Yaogu City, I wouldn't know much about this either."
"However, the specific details should only be known by your elders and the Prefecture Lord of Yaodu. I know that due to the spatial barrier, those above the Foundation Establishment realm cannot pass through spatial channels."
"To break the barrier, it must be broken from within. As for what method Yaodu uses, that remains unknown."
"So you don't need to worry. You don't need to pass through the spatial channel. You just need to make contact with those who emerge from the spatial channel. Gather more intelligence from them, and don't forget our Yaogu City then."
Chen Yang was annoyed, but he still smiled and nodded in agreement, "Naturally."
After a couple of drinks, the City Lord of Yaogu City said in a low voice, "Yaogu City's income is related to the business in Wangyou Sea. I allow you to establish a black market outside, but that's all."
"Yaogu City also needs to submit a share to the Yaodu Prefecture regularly. This rule cannot be broken, do you understand?"
Chen Yang gave a dry laugh, "Since Lord City Lord has said so, I naturally understand. How about this: from the income of the black market in the future, Yaogu City will take two tenths?"
Seeing that this Young Master Chen was so sensible, the City Lord of Yaogu City burst into laughter, "It's refreshing to talk to a smart person. Cheers!"
The smiles shared between the City Lord of Yaogu City and Young Master Chen over their cups drew everyone's attention.
Ananda, who had initially sat there trembling, not daring to move for fear of the two men falling out, was terrified. He was afraid that as the merchant association closest to Young Master Chen, they would inevitably be implicated.
But gradually, Ananda also began to relax.
Because the two men in the hall looked not just happy, but extremely happy!
Especially the City Lord!
A He Dan Venerable was repeatedly toasting Young Master Chen!
Just how terrifying was the background of this Young Master Chen, to make the City Lord act in such a manner.
It wasn't until evening that Chen Yang, having determined that he couldn't get any more information from the City Lord of Yaogu City, left with Ananda.
The moment he got into the carriage, Chen Yang suddenly let out an angry curse, startling Ananda so much that he almost fell out.
