Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Since its establishment, Weicheng has hardly encountered any wars. Even in the several battles with monsters in the past, the battles were resolved outside the city and did not even affect the outer city.

The inner city has never had any trouble. The monster going crazy the night before yesterday was the biggest event in the past few years.

But today, the inner city has experienced unimaginable chaos. Who could have imagined that Weicheng would be suddenly attacked by monsters inside one day, while the outer city would be peaceful instead.

The first place where the monsters began to wreak havoc was the trading houses and auction houses distributed in the outer areas of the inner city. Those monsters that suddenly appeared seemed to have no clear targets. Except for their own kind, all humans that appeared were their targets of attack and devouring.

After the monsters entered the state of cultivation, although they still hunted, they did not use this to survive. In addition to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during cultivation, taking some precious medicinal materials was enough for them to survive.

There were occasional battles between monsters, but most of those battles were for the purpose of grabbing territory and cultivation resources.

In the large group of beastmen, there are only a few like the Nether Beast, who rely on devouring the flesh and blood of warriors to strengthen themselves and even improve their cultivation.

However, the monsters in the Acropolis are just like the Nether Beasts. Even if they cannot devour and refine the flesh and blood and turn it into energy to absorb, they still crave killing and blood, because that is the effect after taking the drug "Crazy Blood Powder".

The attacks and killings of monsters were not taken seriously at first. After all, the monsters had just made a scene the night before. Everyone just thought that the monsters this time were similar to the last time, except that some of them ran out of the cage and were recaptured or killed on the spot.

However, as time passed, the number of monsters wandering and killing in the city not only did not decrease but gradually increased. As a result, people gradually realized that something was wrong. But at this time, people wanted to join forces to deal with the monsters, but found that they were already unable to do so.

Everyone did not take it seriously at first because many people knew a rough number, which was the number of monsters in the Acropolis.

Just like when Zuo Zai and Amber walked around the city before, in addition to knowing the number of medicinal materials and other supplies owned by each family, they also knew the number and level of monsters. This information is actually almost semi-public in Weicheng.

However, few people know that the actual number of monsters in Weicheng is far more than what is on the surface. And those monsters whose numbers are not announced will not be used for public transactions, but are completely sold secretly in private, and this part of the income is concealed even from the empire.

The reason for this situation is actually driven by the word "interest". After all, many people who came to Xinshu County, including Jiang Xin, paid a lot of money to get the position of city lord.

These people came to Xinshu County, not with the great dream of revitalizing the Ye Lin Empire and delivering a steady stream of gold coins and resources to the treasury of the empire. Everyone really wants to earn a lot of gold coins, but just want to put them into their own pockets.

Because such things must be kept secret from the empire, ordinary people naturally have no chance to know. Therefore, few people know that there are still a large number of hidden monsters in the Acropolis. They are secretly imprisoned. Even though they were so fierce the night before, they did not attract the attention of the outside world.

But to be precise, a powerful existence did notice it, but she noticed that there were still a large number of monsters, but she was not interested in it, because she was Shan Ji.

When the bloodline was continuously improved, Shan Ji could clearly know the number of people with beast bloodline within a certain range and their location.

But knowing is knowing, Shan Ji did not take it seriously. Maybe she knew that there would be a large number of monsters rioting on the night of rescue, and Shan Ji might tell Zuo Feng this information. But she could not predict the future, so she knew this information, but she did not inform Zuo Feng.

There are not many forces that can secretly hide monsters and deceive the empire to make money. The Acropolis City Lord's Mansion, the Sacrifice Hall Branch Hall, and the Duobao Trading House are the three largest groups. There are three more, which are subordinates of these three forces. These three forces can only eat meat and pick up some soup to drink.

Although only these forces hid the monsters, the problem is that the number of monsters is absolutely astonishing. If it was just the monsters waiting to be sold in the various trading houses, it would indeed only cause a little chaos and be able to suppress it.

But now the number has increased several times, and this situation is a little difficult to control. At this time, the information collected by various parties in the City Lord's Mansion showed that the number of monsters was at least more than 500, and this number is likely to continue to increase.

Jiang Xin, who was still on the road, knew that the situation was serious after hearing this number. Because if the monsters that were secretly hidden did not run out, it would be impossible for such a large number of monsters to appear in the Acropolis.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Xin called his confidant as soon as possible and asked a question that he was most concerned about now.

"Are our monsters okay?"

However, before the confidant could answer, he had already got the answer from the other party's face, and this answer almost made him crazy.

"Not only the monsters that belong to us, but also the monsters from the branch hall of the sacrificial hall and the monsters from the Duobao Trading House, all seem to have run out, and they are all killing everywhere like crazy."

Falling into the chair, Jiang Xin felt dizzy, the worst thing still happened. He had thought of making a few more years, and when his pockets were full, he would withdraw and transfer out of Xinxu County.

This kind of secret trading of monsters is like sitting on a ** barrel, and you don't know when the news may leak. At that time, the empire will definitely track it down to the end, and the punishment will definitely be very severe. Now I haven't had time to withdraw, and this ** barrel has exploded under my butt.

The confidant, looking at the distraught look of his city lord, hesitated and said: "When we were collecting intelligence everywhere, we got a rumor that this monster chaos was caused by Duobao Trading House behind the scenes."

"What! How is this possible? They also participated in the private sale of monsters. It doesn't do them any good to do this." Jiang Xin didn't believe what his men said at all.

However, the confidant continued, "It is said that this is the trick of the people behind Duobao Trading House, and the purpose is to subvert the power of the Sacrifice Hall, and the more far-reaching purpose is to influence the succession of the future king of the empire."

"Crack"

As soon as the subordinate's voice fell, Jiang Xin's hands suddenly tightened and directly crushed a pair of armrests of the chair. The reason why he was so excited was because he felt that this statement was not impossible.

Maybe other people didn't know the inside story, but he was originally from the Ye Lin Empire, and because the person he bought happened to belong to the line of the Xinxu County Governor, he came to Weicheng to become the city lord. And the person he bought told him some secrets at the beginning, of course, the purpose was to remind himself not to offend Duobao Trading House after arriving in Weicheng.

Seeing his own city lord's face changing from gloomy to bright and dark, the confidant hesitated and spoke again, saying: "In addition, there are spies who provide clues. The reason why the incident happened tonight was planned in advance by Duobao Trading House. They want to transfer you away from the city lord's mansion, which led to the dinner tonight."

From the initial complete disbelief, to the half-belief and half-doubt when his subordinates suggested that the other party might have other purposes, Jiang Xin no longer had any doubts at this time. He had determined that the incident was caused by Duobao Trading House.

Seeing that the city lord's expression became very ugly, the confidant said: "At present, Benxiao Pavilion is also in a mess. Wu Tian even sent a message that he would join hands with our city lord's mansion to suppress the situation, and at the same time, he would impose sanctions on Duobao Trading House."

"Sanctions? Sanctions on Duobao Trading House!" Jiang Xin glanced at his subordinates coldly. The city lord who usually had a smile on his face was now like a man-eating beast.

The subordinate hurriedly replied, "We are going to sanction Duobao Trading House."

At this point, the subordinate could look around. Even though he and Jiang Xin were the only ones in the room, he still lowered his voice cautiously and continued.

"What Pavilion Master Wu Tian meant was that Duobao Trading House secretly hid monsters and abused drugs to cause monsters to go crazy. This matter must be decided by the city lord according to the laws of the empire, and the warriors of Benxiao Pavilion will execute the law and execute Duobao Trading House on the spot. After the matter is completely settled, you two will report the details to the empire separately."

After all, it was not the first day for him to get involved. Jiang Xin, the old-timer, only heard half of it and guessed Wu Tian's intention.

Now that the matter has become so big, it is impossible to cover it up. This crime is a serious crime that Jiang Xin, not to mention Jiang Xin, is also a serious crime that Wu Tian, ​​the Pavilion Master of Yu Pavilion, cannot bear.

At the moment, there happened to be rumors about Duobao Trading House in the city, so Wu Tian was ready to use the trick to completely confirm the crime of privately selling monsters and causing monster cholera in the city. As long as all the people from Duobao Trading House are eliminated, even if the empire wants to investigate in the future, Jiang Xin and Wu Tian will not have to worry as long as they have a unified voice.

It must be said that this method is the most beneficial to him at the moment. It can be seen that after the chaos in the city, Wu Tian was not in a hurry to suppress the monsters, but focused on how to get away with it.

Moreover, Jiang Xin even suspected that the rumors in the city now are likely to be fueled by Wu Tian behind the scenes. It is even possible that Wu Tian asked someone to guide the current development of the disorder to the Duobao Trading House.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xin has made a decision, or he has no choice now.

"Send someone to reply to Wu Tian and say... I know what to do!"
