C743 A Strange Town
C743 A Strange Town
Shennongjia was one of the most dangerous places in China, and it was the only dangerous place in Central China. It could be said that many dangerous places in China were first, and only part of it was opened to the public as a tourist area.
When Qin Yun arrived in the air above a small city that was about ten kilometers away from the western part of Shennongjia, it was already night.
Although the small city was small, it was still brightly lit, and from the air, it seemed to form a clear contrast with the low and low Shennongjia in the distance.
The architecture of this small city was also very unique. It was very flourishing far away from half of the Shennongjia, while the other half was a bit lonely.
"This really does have its special characteristics." Qin Yun looked at the distinct city and said with a smile.
It was still too early for the dragon vein to awaken, so his body turned into a streak of golden light and landed on the side of the small city that was closer to the Shennongjia.
Before he landed on the ground, he could feel the presence of many spirit energies in the area. Some came from humans, some from spirit beasts.
"Perhaps this is the reason why this small city is so unique." Qin Yun muttered to himself. Then, he followed the dim street light and strode towards the Shennongjia.
This half of the city was old and dilapidated, and few people lived in these buildings.
Before Qin Yun could cover a distance of a hundred meters, an old man and a young man came walking towards him.
The old man was in his sixties or seventies, but his legs weren't too nimble either. He was supported by the 17-18 year old girl beside him. Although her clothes weren't that gorgeous, she gave off a delicate and pretty feeling.
Furthermore, Qin Yun could tell at a glance that the two of them were cultivators. The elder's Cultivation had reached the early stage of Transcendence, while the girl had just broken through to the Connate realm.
Just as the duo was about to pass by Qin Yun, the elder suddenly came to a halt. He said to Qin Yun with a deep voice, "Young man, it looks like you are an outsider."
"How did you know?" Qin Yun said to the elder with a smile.
"Because locals don't come here at this time." The elder said mysteriously to Qin Yun.
"Why?" Qin Yun asked the elder.
"It's better if you don't ask. Listen to me and quickly go back. It's very dangerous for a normal person like you here." The elder did not explain to Qin Yun's question.
Qin Yun also knew that even if he did not have the Dragon God's Mask, the difference in strength between him and the elder was too great. In his eyes, he was an ordinary person.
"Thank you for your reminder." Qin Yun gave the elder a polite smile. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, the girl beside the elder appeared in a flash in front of Qin Yun, blocking his way.
"Didn't you hear what my grandpa said? It's very dangerous over there, be careful not to lose your life there." The girl said to Qin Yun.
"Then why do you say so? I wouldn't believe it if I didn't give you a reason. " Qin Yun said as he looked at the girl in front of him.
"This …" The girl did not reply Qin Yun. Instead, she cast her gaze at the elder.
"Young man, to tell you the truth, the city is not clean." The old man said to Qin Yun.
"Do you mean to say that there are ghosts here? But if it's ghosts, why are you still here? " Qin Yun said.
"How can you be like this? My grandpa kindly reminded you, and you're even asking this and that. Grandfather, let's not bother about him, just let him go by himself." The girl stepped aside and walked to the side of the old man.
"Little Jia, how can you speak like that? Have you forgotten about my usual teachings and responsibilities?" The old man said to the girl with a tone full of reproach.
"I'm sorry grandpa, I was wrong." The girl lowered her head.
Just as the old and young spoke, a beam of light flashed past Qin Yun about five to six hundred meters behind him. It appeared exceptionally dazzling.
As the elder and girl were standing face to face with Qin Yun, they could clearly see the beam of light.
"Not good, young man, hurry up and leave!" The elder's expression changed as he said to Qin Yun.
With that, the old man's body trembled as a glint of light flashed across his eyes. The girl also assumed a fighting stance.
However, the distant Spiritual Light didn't appear again. The old man and the girl only looked around vigilantly.
"Haha, old ghost Liu, I never would have thought that I would meet you two and your grandson here. Who is this young man? Is he your new disciple?" Not far from Qin Yun and company, two middle-aged men that looked identical walked out. They laughed at the elder and girl.
The Cultivation of these two middle-aged men were at the peak level of the Innate True Origin, just a step away from breaking through to the Innate realm.
"Brother Zhang, stop making sarcastic remarks here. Hurry up and leave this place. It might be here!" The old man didn't turn his head, but stared at him with a serious expression as he replied in a low voice.
"Old fart Liu, we're all here for it. You know the price of Boss Zhang. Whoever kills it will get 10 million. You can't be thinking of taking it all for yourself, right?" One of the middle-aged men said in disdain.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Qin Yun understood that the people in front of him were cultivators who did not belong to any sects or clans. They would usually rely on helping the rich to settle matters that they could not solve.
"Oh, it's quite lively here. I didn't expect the famous Old Ghost Liu and the Zhang Brothers to both come." Another strange voice entered everyone's ears.
Everyone followed the source of the voice and saw a muscular man walk out from a corner.
This sturdy man was around forty years old and was nearly two meters tall. His Cultivation was in the initial stages of extraordinary focus and was slightly weaker than the old man.
He was wearing tight pants and a tight shirt, and the color was the same pink as before. His face was covered with a thick layer of powder, and his lips were painted bright red. It was even stranger than if he had seen a ghost.
"You damned pervert, why are you everywhere? You stole the business last time, so it should be our turn now." The Zhang brothers said to the bewitching muscular man.
"Try another freak!" The bewitching muscular man's face revealed a look of embarrassment and anger, causing Qin Yun to shudder in disgust.
"It seems that all the capable people that Boss Zhang has hired are here, but this business will definitely be mine." A seductive voice came from afar.
