Chapter 1096 Passed the Test
An Danda dared not ask what had happened between the two.
Weren't they chatting quite happily at the City Lord's mansion before?
How could it have suddenly...
While An Danda was lost in thought, Chen Yang lifted the curtain and pulled An Danda directly inside.
An Danda shivered, looking at Chen Yang, his voice trembling, "Young Master Chen, what's wrong? If you're unhappy about something, tell me, I'll help you think of a solution?"
Chen Yang's eyes were fixed on An Danda, making An Danda's scalp tingle for a moment.
Others didn't understand this Young Master Chen's temper, but he, Anda, understood it very well. No matter what he had done for Young Master Chen before, if this Young Master Chen really wanted to kill someone, he would do so without batting an eye.
At this moment, An Danda thought Young Master Chen was going to take his life!
Seeing An Danda's almost tearful expression, Chen Yang frowned, "You help me think of a solution? If I said I wanted the City Lord's life, would you think of a way?"
An Danda, for some unknown reason, dared to reach out and cover Chen Yang's mouth.
An Danda's back was already covered in cold sweat, whether it was because of the Young Master Chen in front of him, or because he was afraid the City Lord would hear that last sentence.
Seeing Chen Yang's dark eyes, An Danda quickly let go of his hand, not knowing how to explain.
"I, I, I..."
Chen Yang waved his hand, his face grim, "Let's leave here first."
After they were a little distance away from the City Lord's mansion, Chen Yang said to An Danda, "Our black market business has been approved by the City Lord, but now, besides you and me, there's probably one more person in the black market."
As soon as Chen Yang said this, An Danda immediately understood.
No wonder the City Lord was so happy before. So, the City Lord wanted to get involved!
An Danda asked Chen Yang weakly, "Then... how much of a share does the City Lord want?"
"I originally told him two parts, but later, I gained some support from the City Lord's mansion, and he asked for another part. Giving three parts of the profit to the City Lord's mansion makes my heart ache."
Chen Yang rubbed his head, but his mind was not on this matter at all.
Whether the black market could actually operate, or how much spirit stone it could earn, was not important to Chen Yang.
The black market didn't even need to open.
After all, the black market business was originally meant to deceive An Danda.
That place was for martial artists to settle down.
But now, even the City Lord of Yaogu City was involved, and things were getting complicated.
More importantly, Chen Yang had gained a lot this time, learning a lot about the forces in Yaodu and the human bloodline.
"Forget it, I won't think about this anymore."
"However, something I discussed with the City Lord just now made me a little curious. Do you know anything about the remaining human bloodline?"
As Chen Yang's gaze fell on An Danda, he suddenly noticed that An Danda's expression was a little off.
An Danda's face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly made a gesture to be quiet.
Seeing Chen Yang's puzzled look, he then lowered his voice as much as possible and explained, "The human bloodline, in fact, refers to martial artists."
"Before becoming Foundation Builders, martial artists primarily cultivate the qi and blood within their bodies."
"Many cultivation techniques in the Earth Realm require strong qi and blood to support them."
"Legend has it that there were many martial artists in the Earth Realm back then, but after being besieged by the people of the Earth Realm, the martial artists gradually disappeared."
"Even if there are any of their bloodlines left alive, they are just barely surviving and would never dare to reveal their identity as martial artists."
Chen Yang took a deep breath. These things aligned with what the City Lord of Yaogu City had just said.
There really was a human bloodline in the Earth Realm!
Then, had these human bloodlines participated in Yaodu's plan? Chen Yang was truly unsure!
Upon returning to the courtyard, Chen Yang saw many people sitting in the courtyard, silent.
It was obvious they were all waiting for him to return.
Bei Xuan, seeing Chen Yang return safely, finally felt a weight lifted from his heart and said with a smile, "Why are you back so late, kid? Did it take you that long to eat?"
Chen Yang forced a smile and said, "The City Lord kept asking me questions and we talked a lot."
Hearing that the City Lord of Yaogu City had set his sights on Chen Yang, Bei Xuan gasped and said nervously, "Did he discover anything unusual?"
Although Chen Yang had returned safely now, the most important thing was whether he was being secretly watched by the City Lord.
These people usually didn't leave the courtyard precisely to hide their identities.
"Don't worry, now the City Lord of Yaogu City is absolutely convinced that I have the backing of the Jindan Venerable!"
As he spoke, Chen Yang's gaze fell on the ancient martial artists again, "Furthermore, I suspect that when you guys made your move earlier, the City Lord of Yaogu City already detected your martial artist aura."
Previously, no one had ever made a move within Yaogu City. Wu Min's actions were outside Yaogu City, in a place where there were few living people.
But when the City Lord of Yaogu City returned, his personal guard captain had forced out the two ancient martial artists beside Chen Yang.
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
However, Chen Yang immediately recounted his dealings with the City Lord of Yaogu City to everyone.
Few people cared about the matter of the black market's profit sharing. Instead, the matter of the remaining human bloodline sparked discussion among everyone.
Especially the ancient martial artists. Their eyes met, and Chen Yang felt some fluctuations of spiritual power again. It was clear that these people were communicating something using their spiritual power.
Chen Yang did not disturb them and instead looked at Ruan Dongjun.
Logically speaking, Ruan Dongjun should know a lot about the Earth Realm.
"Do you know about the human bloodline?"
Seeing Chen Yang directly ask Ruan Dongjun, everyone immediately turned their attention to this inheritor of the Sword Sect.
Before, everyone didn't know who this person was. But after spending some time together, some of the conversations between the Great Elder of the Sword Sect, Cang Jian, and Ruan Dongjun were overheard. Little by little, Ruan Dongjun also admitted that he had absorbed the inheritance of the Sword Sect.
The spatial passage that had been opened before was all thanks to the founding ancestor of the Sword Sect.
Ruan Dongjun had absorbed the inheritance of that ancestor, so he must also know many secret matters.
Ruan Dongjun saw everyone staring at him, so he could only give an awkward smile and shake his head, "It's true that I absorbed the Sword Sect's inheritance... but I only learned some complete cultivation techniques of the Sword Sect. As for many matters of the Earth Realm, I have already told Chen Yang everything I know!"
