Chapter 1129 – The sudden arrival of the special envoy
“It's... it's very far away.” Eleven did not expect his new master to have such a huge reaction to the news. “The Earth Province territory stretches across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, with dangers everywhere. Apart from some of the Central City areas, there are dark beasts and forbidden lands at most of the dark areas. It will be incredibly difficult to pass through. The Heavenly Fire Central City of the Fire Province is at the most western area, and from our location we will need to travel across the entire territory of the Fire Province.”
“This... it's really a little far.”
Ye Qingyu gradually calmed down.
He was almost ninety percent certain that the rumoured person must be [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei]. This was undoubtedly great news. In this world, besides his relatives, if there was a person who Ye Qingyu worshipped and admired, then [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] was definitely one of them.
Although he wanted to see [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], but after calming down, he also realized that now is not the right time.
After coming to the Dark Realm, Ye Qingyu had a lot to deal with. There were a myriad of things that must be taken care of. In particular the mess of Luoshen Ridge, which he was now undoubtedly trapped in. He must finish what was started. Since he had made the decision to change something, then he has to complete it, otherwise, if he pulls away now, it most likely will not take long before the black-haired Dark Ones in Bitter Hill Village have to suffer again.
Ye Qingyu couldn’t allow this to happen.
“Send someone to pass on the message that, from today, Central City will allow the Dark Ones to enter at will and that all citizens are equal...” Ye Qingyu said a few words, and then found it very troublesome to describe what he wanted to do so he directly said, “Just like in Heaven Connect City, how to enact the law, think about it yourself.”
Eleven was confused by the first half of the sentence, but he understood the other half. He thoroughly grasped Ye Qingyu’s meaning, but also knew what sort of scene that Ye Qingyu wanted to see in Luoshen Ridge. After understanding this point, Eleven drew in a breath.
This was simply a subversion in the absolute sense.
Ever since ancient times, the Guardians had been high and mighty masters, while the Dark Ones were basically slaves. The social hierarchy was incredibly strict. But Ye Qingyu wanted to completely break this difference in social class, so that the Dark Realm would become like the Vast Thousand Domains.
Eleven obviously dared not to oppose Ye Qingyu. After careful thought, he persuaded, “Lord, this way, there may be friction in the short term, especially since many Guardians in the city have always regarded the Dark Ones as lowly people. It is most likely that they will secretly make things difficult for the Dark Ones. There will be bloodshed, and there will be people taking advantage of this to make a fuss, I am afraid...”
Ye Qingyu interrupted his words with a wave of his hand, “There is nothing to be afraid of, who dares to oppose in secret, who dares to cause trouble, who dares to mock and ridicule, who dares to refuse to carry out the new law, will be killed without question.”
Eleven trembled all over when he heard this.
The murderous spirit of his master really showed that he has the blood of sin running through his body. He really possessed the bloodline of the demon of sin.
However, Eleven was still a little worried, and carefully suggested, “If all were killed, Central City will fall into chaos. Then everything will be paralyzed, and it will be difficult to operate...”
Ye Qingyu gave a faint smile, “Without destruction there can be no construction, since tall buildings need to be rebuilt then the foundations needs to be firm. Central City is missing many things, but one thing that it does not lack is these Guardians who hold on to a post while doing nothing. Without these parasites, the Luoshen Ridge can still function... Of course, the severe punishment is not only for the Guardians. If there are people among the Dark Ones stirring the undercurrent, they should similarly be killed.”
He was going to fight his way out to see dawn.
Because this was the most time-saving and easiest way.
Upon hearing this, Eleven had thoroughly understood.
As long as he was impartial then it will be easy to carry out this task. Otherwise, it will definitely be a mess. He had also been in contact with some Dark Ones, and knew that there was no absolute good or bad in this world. Although most of the Dark Ones were honest, grateful and easily satisfied, there were some ambitious plotters.
Suddenly they heard hurried footsteps outside and a loud voice came from the bottom of the stone steps to the main hall, “Reporting to Lord, urgent report, urgent report...”
The soldier panted, heaving for breath.
Eleven tensed up, worried that something had happened in the city, which would affect Ye Qingyu's evaluation of his ability. He hurried down, stopped the soldier and immediately came back to report.
“Lord, a special envoy of the Guardian camp has come,” Eleven reported with a strange look on his face.
“Very fast.” Ye Qingyu was a little surprised at the well-informed and efficient Guardian camp. Not only was he far from being afraid, there was a hint of anticipation lighting up on his face.
Eleven said strangely, “It is most likely a strange mistake. From the report of the subordinate, this special envoy came alone and seemed to not know that the ruler of Luoshen Ridge has changed. He also seems to be in a difficult situation and had asked to see Zheng Longcheng.”
“Oh? Is that so?” A smile curved Ye Qingyu's lips. “Good, then let's go and meet him to see what this is about.”
……
A moment later.
“So Lord came here to borrow soldiers, to fight and capture a serious criminal from the Unmoving City of Darkness?” Ye Qingyu, who had transformed to look like Zhang Longcheng, after listening to what the special envoy said, had already formed a plan in mind.
Opposite.
A tall and thin demon Quasi-emperor nodded firmly and said arrogantly, “Not borrow, but to dispatch. I am a special envoy of the Guardian camp. I have the right to dispatch soldiers. Zhang Longcheng, I order you to immediately gather the masters in the city to set off with me. I have heard that among your courtyard of esteemed masters there is a Quasi-emperor, tell him to also accompany me on this trip.”
This demon Quasi-Emperor’s face was thin and long like a horse face. He had no eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with a ferocious and sinister colour. His aura was unstable, and appeared to have sustained injuries.
Ye Qingyu nodded, saying calmly, “Yes, special envoy please rest assured that I will arrange it, and will ensure full cooperation. It is rare for special envoy to have a use for our Luoshen Ridge, it is our honor... Haha, by the way, I am curious about who the serious criminal that special envoy mentioned is?”
An invisible mind force permeated from the eyes of Ye Qingyu.
“Well, yes, you are not bad, I will remember you, there will be a lot of rewards for you in the future... As for the serious criminal, it is a lowly person called Wang Jianru, one of the leaders of the Unmoving City of Darkness, a Sinner camp. She is a trusted aide of the current King of Darkness, and is very strong. Despite the iron laws of the camp she had unexpectedly sneaked into the Vast Thousand Domains, and is now wanted by the entire Dark Realm... Huh, I have talked too much. You are just a little City Lord, you won’t understand. While this lowly person is in a weak state, it is my great opportunity... haha...”
The special envoy shut up all of a sudden.
For some reason, he was unable to control himself and had unconsciously said too much. By the time he snapped awake he had already leaked some information that should not be leaked. A sinister glint flashed to his eyes as he scolded, “Why ask so much, immediately go prepare. We shall immediately set off.”
Ye Qingyu replied with a smile.
But in his heart, he was analyzing something else.
Wang Jianru had left the Vast Thousand Domains a long time ago. Ye Qingyu thought that she had returned to the Unmoving City of Darkness, but now it seemed that this was not the case. She was hunted by the Guardian camp in the Dark Realm. Adding to this, it seems that Wang Jianru's situation was a bit dangerous, and was likely to encounter a great crisis. If not, she would have returned to the Unmoving City of Darkness already and would not have been chased within the territory of the Earth Province.
The reason behind this, he was not able to guess right now.
But it was clear that she was in trouble now.
For Ye Qingyu, it was certainly an opportunity to connect with the Unmoving City of Darkness.
Ye Qingyu signaled to Eleven.
Eleven understood, immediately pretended to go out to gather the elites.
“Lord, please be patient, everything will be ready at once.”
Ye Qingyu accompanied the special envoy and acted very respectful. While he intentionally or unintentionally made conversations he also learned some information. This special envoy was called Nie Tiankong, a descendant of the Ancient Demon Race, and now serves at the imperial city of the Guardian camp. His status was not considered low. He had been hunting down to kill Wang Jianru because her whereabouts were exposed. The imperial city of the Guardian camp had issued an order with a great reward for the capture of her. Nie Tiankong ran into Wang Jianru in the Earth Province and unexpectedly he lost in that battle and had to come to Central City of Luoshen Ridge to ask for assistance. Therefore, he did not know that the Lord of Luoshen Ridge had already changed.
That was approximately all the information he could extract from him.
After all, Nie Tiankong was also a Quasi-emperor. If he were to continue to use some mind bewitching force as he did in the beginning, Nie Tiankong might be able to perceive that something was strange.
A moment later, Eleven had come back.
“Lord, unfortunately Master Xu Shaohua has already went out three days ago and it is impossible to contact him,” Eleven said in a serious tone of voice.
Nie Tiankong looked extremely disappointed. In the entire Luoshen Ridge, the only expert who could barely be of use was unexpectedly not in the city. He had come here for nothing. Looking trouble, he said, “What? Why is it so coincidental? Haha, City Lord Zhang Longcheng you're not deliberately tricking me, are you?” As he was speaking, his tone of voice had grown threatening and sinister.
Ye Qingyu hurriedly replied, “How would I dare to... esteemed Master Xu Shaohua has a special status, and is an esteemed master that I have spent a lot of effort to recruit. He has special privilege, and usually even I could not fully command him... How about this, Special Envoy Nie Tiankong, although I am not particularly powerful, I am willing to assist Special Envoy. Let me follow you there, what do you say?” ——
