From the mouth of the middle-aged Yaji, Zhou Yang also received unexpected news that Jiemeng City had been promoted to the main city and officially included in the territory of the Tongzhou Merchant Alliance.
In order to strengthen the defense of this important merchant town, the Merchant Alliance sent a Jindan Dzogchen master as the city lord, Qing Xuzi as the deputy city lord, and sent many additional defenders.
As for the news about Murong Yue and others, this Yaji didn't know.
Zhou Yang thought for a long time and decided to leave Suiling as soon as possible. He first went to Jiemeng to understand the situation, then went to the Great Holy Island, and finally went to Tu Yan to inquire about the whereabouts of Uncle Zhong after picking up the skills in Dingbeicheng.
But before leaving, he had to get some interest back.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Yang quietly came to Xiyao Artifact Shop.
Xi Yao Chengfu was not in the store. The store was guarded by another person in charge of the fake elixir realm. With Zhou Yang's current cultivation level, he was naturally able to do it without anyone noticing.
"The second place is Xiyao Shendan Store."
"The third place is the West Key Talisman Shop."
"Ninth location, Xiyao Family Southwest City Headquarters." There was actually a golden elixir master sitting in the main store, but he was subdued by him in an instant.
After soul searching, he got some information and confirmed his guess.
As expected, the magic stick betrayed him and revealed the Wangtian Pavilion in Suiling City, as well as the possible whereabouts of Ouyang Chong, Jin Changfeng and others, which made Zhou Yang grit his teeth.
In addition, the Xiyao family already knows the news of the death of Xiyao Danhua and Xiyao Baolin, because they all have family soul lamps. For this reason, the old ghost Sheng Ying Shenjun became angry and vigorously rectified the family, and personally killed several members of the Jindan Realm tribe.
"The tenth place, Jinding Building Materials Shop."
"The sixteenth location, Jinding Tower Southwest Head Office."
Zhou Yang did not stop and continued to loot the stores owned by He and Tu, and also killed several golden elixir masters.
In just a few hours, Zhou Yang swept through thirty-six stores of the four forces in Southwest City, looting all the items and materials. After eliminating traces, he could escape at dawn.
It is indeed faster to rob a house than to do business. In addition to countless materials and magic weapons, the number of spiritual stones alone is a terrifying number, including hundreds of fifth-grade spiritual stones.
For golden elixir masters, low-level spiritual stones are no longer useful, and high-level spiritual stones of fifth grade or above are the mainstream.
If it were placed before, even if Zhou Yang broke through the Golden Core or even the middle stage of the Golden Core, he would not dare to be so bold. However, now that his cultivation level has greatly improved, he is already comparable to a strong person in the quasi-god realm. Doing these things will naturally go smoothly and will not be exposed. any trace.
Although the inspections in Jiemeng City are also strict, the atmosphere is still calm. The number of cultivators is much more than before, and the number of shops and buildings has increased significantly. It really looks like a main city.
However, there seemed to be too many new buildings, and many places he was familiar with had also been replaced.
Arriving at the center of the city, Zhou Yang went straight to the previous mansion. He found that the gate of this mansion was also newly built.
"Who are you?" The mansion is actually guarded by city guards. Judging from their clothing markings, they should be Nancheng defenders. His consciousness swept across the entire mansion, and he felt a little at ease.
"I'm looking for Commander Murong." Zhou Yang put his hands behind his back and looked indifferent.
"Who are you and what business do you have with Commander Murong?" The city guards couldn't help but shouted when they saw this man being so patronizing.
"Mu San, come out." Zhou Yang ignored him and spoke directly to the house.
His voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating. Mu San, Mu Wu and others who were guarding the door of the training room all raised their heads.
The voice was very familiar. Mu San thought for a while, got up and walked towards the door.
"Are you..." After sizing Zhou Yang for a moment, Mu San asked with a frown.
"I am Zhou Yang." Zhou Yang transmitted the message, and then said loudly: "Don't you even remember your old friend?"
"Oh, it turns out to be fellow Taoist, come in quickly, come in quickly!" Mu San was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and quickly invited Zhou Yang into the house.
"Don't disturb him. Leave some people behind to protect him. You two follow me into the house." Mu Sang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhou Yang, who then walked directly to the living room in the building.
Mu San and Mu Wu followed suit.
"Boss!" After entering the room, they both saluted.
"Well, sit down." Zhou Yang nodded.
"Boss, haven't you already been a golden elixir? Why now..." Mu San said with confusion on his face.
"Haha, I'm just trying to hide my anger."
"I see."
"By the way, Murong Yue was able to attack the golden elixir so quickly. Did he have any chance during this period? And you, too, are almost in the realm of fake elixirs!" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Boss, you really guessed it right. Just a few months ago, there was an earthquake in the Jiemeng area. Many houses collapsed. After the secret cultivation room was shaken, a hole actually appeared in the ground!" Mu San replied.
"No wonder." Zhou Yang finally understood why there were so many new buildings in the city. It turned out that there was an earthquake.
"Go on." Zhou Yang has experienced a lot about opportunities, and he doesn't have many surprises about it.
"Boss, in the secret cave that appeared, we found a large collection of the old owner's collection, including many Tianluo pills, as well as pills that helped break through the bottleneck of the Golden Pill. In addition, we also found some magic pills. Jue and cultivation experience, as well as a large amount of spiritual stone materials!" Mu San was beaming.
"Haha, what a harvest." Zhou Yang praised.
"With these treasures and the function of the spirit gathering array in the mansion, Mu Qi and the others have greatly improved their cultivation, and our overall strength has skyrocketed!" Mu Wu also said.
"Well, this is a good thing. By the way, where is Ouyang Chong? Have Ouyang Qingqing and Changfeng been to Jiemeng? How about our Yangtiandian and Yangtianfang City?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Alas, they have all left. They should have gone to the Great Holy Island, but there is no definite news. We don't know whether they have arrived there specifically. Of course, the Yangtian store here can no longer open. Yangtianfang The city was also taken over by the Xiyao Family. If this was not the territory of the Tongzhou Merchant Alliance and senior Qing Xuzi was taking care of it, our situation would have been very bad." Mu Sandao sighed.
Zhou Yang understood that Qing Xuzi was trying to win over Murong Yue, especially when he changed from the city lord to the deputy city lord, he needed the help of senior figures in Jie Meng. Moreover, Murong Yue is about to break through to the realm of golden elixir, so Qing Xuzi needs to form an alliance with him.
Of course, after Jiemeng City was taken over by the Tongzhou Merchant Alliance, management would naturally be strengthened, and they would be very sensitive to other sects interfering in the affairs of the city. Xiyao Family and Jinding Tower would not destroy the Yangtian Store in a big way, but they would inevitably do it secretly. Of course, the Ouyang brothers and sisters cannot stay any longer, so staying away from this place is the best way to protect themselves.
Mu San and others are also senior officers of the City Guards, so they will naturally be protected by Qing Xuzi.
