Chapter 821 The Postman
Gathering Wind City.
Linglong Chamber of Commerce Branch.
Ye Kang walked out calmly.
He had just spent a lot of spirit crystals to get information about the Demon-Slaying Valley from the Linglong Merchant Guild.
The Linglong Chamber of Commerce truly lived up to its reputation as a super power with influence all over the world, possessing comprehensive intelligence capabilities, which allowed Ye Kang to gain a thorough understanding of the Thunder Demon Sect and the Demon-Slaying Valley.
First of all, the Thunder Demon Sect was not destroyed. Even now, a small group of Thunder Demon Sect remnants are still hiding in various secret places, even outside of Thunder State, ready to overthrow the Martial Dynasty at any time.
Secondly, the existence of the Demon-Slaying Valley is not a secret among the sons of noble and powerful families. At this moment, at least several hundred of them are exploring the Demon-Slaying Valley.
The Linglong Chamber of Commerce also gave Ye Kang a map, drawn by a martial artist who had entered the area before, which roughly covered the main areas.
Having obtained the information he wanted, Ye Kang no longer hesitated and left the city directly.
This Windfall City is strange; it's best to leave as soon as possible.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the city gate, Ye Kang keenly sensed something was amiss.
There was a faint, lingering gaze that seemed to be watching him all along.
This is interesting.
Ye Kang couldn't help but think of the disappearance case in Jufeng City.
No one knows where those missing rogue cultivators went. Could it be that someone has been lying in wait outside the city gates, following any suitable rogue cultivator they see?
Thinking of this, Ye Kang's primordial spirit quietly activated and quickly detected the source of the spying.
He was one of the guards at the city gate.
That person possessed the cultivation level of the Nine Luminaries, making him a very powerful figure as a city guard.
The other guards also glanced at him, but only for a moment, and once they saw that he was alright, they looked away.
This person, however, kept his gaze fixed on him, like a wolf that had spotted its prey.
Ye Kang remained calm and continued forward.
The other party certainly wouldn't have expected that an ordinary Four-Star Martial Artist would possess top-tier Yuan Shen strength, allowing him to silently spy back.
It seems there's some progress in the missing persons case.
So there was a traitor among them. Those martial artists were most likely kidnapped as well.
Ye Kang thought to himself that he was not interested in this matter and did not want to get involved in the cause and effect, so he just wanted to use some means to get rid of these people.
But just then, a familiar voice rang out.
【Ding】
[Mission Issued: Uncover the Truth Behind the Disappearance Case]
[Task Reward: 1000000 Comprehension Points]
"..."
Well, what else can I say? I'll give it my all to gain more comprehension.
Ye Kang shook his head helplessly, deliberately slowed down, and continued walking along the official road as if he hadn't noticed anything.
The prying eyes behind him had disappeared, but Ye Kang knew that things were not that simple.
……
Meanwhile, on the official road in the distance.
A post station sits atop a hill.
Inside the post station were four postmen with the cultivation level of the Nine Luminaries.
Generally speaking, only extremely important fortresses on official roads would have post station soldiers with such high cultivation levels.
This is not important, so it only proves one thing: these are all fake couriers.
One of the stern-faced middle-aged men held a communication jade slip and said calmly, "A message has come from the city gate. A strange martial artist of the Four Luminaries level has left the city. He just entered the city yesterday. He came from Lingquan County and has no connections."
The remaining three men grinned wickedly: "Another job? Who's going this time?"
Upon hearing this, the leader immediately glared at the person who had just spoken.
"Have I forgotten what I told you again? This business is extremely important, and we can't afford to be careless in the slightest. The four of us will attack together and take them down in one fell swoop, without giving them any chance to resist."
"Okay, okay, I know the rules. You tell me how to do it, and I'll do it."
The three of them waved their hands impatiently.
They always thought this guy was making a mountain out of a molehill. Four Nine Luminaries Warriors were being so careful when capturing ordinary Star Luo Warriors; it would be a laughing stock if word got out.
But since they were doing illegal work, they had no choice but to obey orders for the money.
The group immediately took cover at their designated spot, waiting quietly for their prey to come to them.
Soon, Ye Kang appeared before them.
He deliberately concealed his aura, appearing to be an ordinary Four-Star Warrior.
The four men, who had initially been somewhat cautious, immediately became dismissive. It was far too simple; such a person didn't require four people to work together.
A moment later, a loud shout rang out, and the leader made the first move. The other three flew out at the same time, unleashing their moves at an extremely fast speed.
Faced with the sudden attack, Ye Kang panicked and couldn't withstand even one move. He was blasted away and landed in a sorry state, spitting out blood.
His face was pale, and he shouted, "Hero, spare my life! I am a disciple of the White Moon Sword Sect of Lingquan County!"
"Introducing your own sect? That's clever, but unfortunately, do you think we'd be afraid of a mere White Moon Sword Sect?"
A burly man walked over with a sinister grin and threw out a rope-like magical artifact.
"Seeing how quickly you begged for mercy, you don't seem like a stubborn person. Today you are doomed. Don't ask us what we do. If you know what's good for you, tie yourself up and you'll suffer less."
