C165 Undercurrents Were Surging
Along with the return of these people, the atmosphere in Tianwu City suddenly changed.
After all, such a huge incident had happened in the Gathering Mountain today, so these people naturally wouldn't hide anything from them. They immediately reported it without hesitation, and even vaguely revealed a lot of information.
"Have you heard? The heir of City Lord's Mansion, Lin Dong, actually died in Hengduan Mountains! One should know that this is the number one genius of our Tianwu City. I never thought that he would die just like that. What a pity! "
" Hehe, it seems like you don't know enough. In fact, not only Lin Dong, but also Han Shuo of Heavenly Eagle Sect. He seems to have died completely. "
"Also, there seems to be news about the young generation like Liu Huaitao and Cheng Jun. All of them had disappeared. This time, there were so many young elites who had entered the Hengduan Mountains. However, those young geniuses who were originally only ranked at the second rank had actually disappeared. Now that they have become the elites of the entire Tianwu City, how can the depths of the Hengduan Mountains be so terrifying? "
Standing at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion and listening to the discussions of the pedestrians, Sun Bing's heart couldn't help but tremble. He didn't expect this news to spread so quickly, but it seemed like this man still had some sense of propriety and didn't expose the Qi-Gathering Mountain to the public.
Zheng Yuan was standing not far away from them. His cultivation base was higher than Sun Bing's, so he naturally heard these discussions clearly. His eyes were filled with deep shock.
Initially, he thought that these storage ring were obtained by Sun Bing by chance. He didn't expect that those people would really die. His eyes couldn't help but flash with a profound look, as if he was the only one who knew the truth.
"It seems like Tianwu City will soon become a place of trouble. If we continue to stay here, it will only cause more trouble." Sun Bing sighed faintly. Initially, he thought that even if this news was spread out, it wouldn't be so fast.
After all, no matter which one it was, it would be a shocking news to the Tianwu City. Furthermore, only a few people knew about it, only the few rogue cultivators that had survived in the Qi-Gathering Mountain.
However, this matter was still out of Sun Bing's expectation. The remaining few people didn't know the severity of the matter, and so easily leaked the news. He could already foresee that these few people would definitely not have a good ending in the future.
Shaking his head, Sun Bing left the Treasure Pavilion without any hesitation. In an instant, he disappeared into the crowd.
On the upper floor of the Treasure Pavilion, an old man smiled. "It seems like this is going to be interesting!"
...
On the other side, a majestic building stood tall. It was even more shocking than the three hundred meter tall city wall. From here, one could easily look down on the entire Tianwu City.
This was also the most powerful place in the Tianwu City, because it represented the power of the City Lord's Mansion. Moreover, the people living in this place were the nominal rulers of the entire Tianwu City, the city lords.
However, the City Lord's Mansion today could be said to be unusually solemn. Even the servants and maids who came and went had traces of panic on their faces. They couldn't help but be cautious, afraid that they would make a mistake if they weren't careful.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting quietly on top of the high hall. He had no expression on his face, but his clothes were fluttering without any wind. A kind of soul-stirring momentum emerged from his clothes, causing people to tremble with fear.
Looking at his face again, it was 70% similar to Lin Dong's face. However, this man was more mature and domineering, and his cultivation base had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage. He was only a step away from the Extraction. Obviously, this man was Lin Dong's father - Lin Hua.
"Where did this news come from?" Lin Hua couldn't help but ask. Although he looked calm on the surface, this short sentence made a middle-aged man's face turn pale.
After a long while, he slowly replied: "City Lord, this news was spread by Wu Lang and the others. He was originally only a second level of Qi Refining Stage warrior, but after coming out of Qi-Gathering Mountain... He has already reached the third level of Qi Refining Stage, because he didn't see his young master. That was why he told them his own guess, but this rumor was spreading more and more. I can't hold it in anymore."
" Oh? " Lin Hua continued: "Then do you think what he said is true?"
This question made this person's face instantly turn pale, even harder to answer than before. In the end, he still spoke in a trembling voice: "Young master is the heir of City Lord's Mansion. He has already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining Stage, so there won't be any accidents. So, this is definitely a rumor."
Hearing this answer, lin Hua didn't say anything. Instead, he looked into the distance, and couldn't help but recall the information he had just obtained: this year's Qi-Gathering Mountain was completely different from the norm. An accident had never happened before. Immediately, he couldn't help but think of Lin Dong's arrival in the Qi-Gathering Mountain. He was going to explore the stone door.
Immediately, a solemn expression emerged on his face, "Could it be that all of this has something to do with this? Is my son still alive? " Speaking of this, a trace of love flashed across Lin Hua's eyes. After all, Lin Dong was the son he was so proud of.
...
At this moment, in the Heavenly Eagle Sect...
Although this place wasn't as majestic as the City Lord's Mansion, it still looked quite imposing. One after another, disciples who were emitting Qi Refining Stage momentum stood up straight, their eyes staring into the distance.
At this moment, in the depths of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, a middle-aged man was extremely furious. His entire body was emitting terrifying momentum. The luxurious items in the hall were crushed to pieces by the momentum. This man was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, Han Li.
As one of the three major powers in Tianwu City, and there was even a momentum that caught up to them, the Heavenly Eagle Sect naturally had their own intelligence network. But just now, Han Li had obtained a shocking fact.
The spiritual energy rebellion in the Qi-Gathering Mountain had been brought forward. Similarly, not even ten people had come out this year. None of the five elite disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Sect had come out. One should know that these were the future of the Heavenly Eagle Sect. Most importantly, his heir, Han Shuo, had also not come out.
This was the reason why he was furious. After all, Han Shuo was the son that he valued the most. In the future, the Heavenly Eagle Sect would be handed over to him without any reservation, but now, he had yet to walk out of Qi-Gathering Mountain.
As the master of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, Han Li had a pretty good understanding of the Qi-Gathering Mountain. He wouldn't be able to hold on for long under the violent spiritual energy. Now that his son had yet to come out, there was a 90% chance that he would die.
But soon, Han Li's facial expression changed once again, because he also understood that the heir of City Lord's Mansion, Lin Dong, hadn't come out yet. He couldn't help but think, could it be that this man has intercepted and killed my Heavenly Eagle Sect in Qi-Gathering Mountain?
After all, there were so many people who had entered the Qi-Gathering Mountain, and only the City Lord's Mansion could face the Heavenly Eagle Sect head on. When he thought about how he had been planning to replace Lin Dong for such a long time, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion had already noticed my movement and was planning to attack first? Initially, they wanted to eliminate Han Shuo in the Qi-Gathering Mountain, but in the end, both of them died together. If that was the case, then the next target of the City Lord's Mansion... Without a doubt, it would be the Heavenly Eagle Sect.
Immediately, Han Li didn't even have the time to be sad. He waved his hand and ordered, "Quickly send someone out to investigate every single movement of the City Lord's Mansion. If there's any sign of disturbance, send someone to inform me."
"Sect Master, what should we do with the rogue cultivators that came out from the Qi-Gathering Mountain?" Suddenly, one of his subordinates couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this question, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across Han Li's face. "My son is already in trouble. Why are they still alive and well? Kill them all for me. Consider them buried with me."
"Yes." Without any hesitation, his subordinate answered the command. After that, he turned around and left the furious Han Li.
On the other side, after Zhou Ling returned to the Zhou Family, she immediately reported what happened in the Qi-Gathering Mountain. Although the Zhou Family had lost a few disciples, they didn't lose any of their muscles and bones, so they didn't make any moves for the time being.
The three families all had their own ways to deal with the situation. But to ordinary people, the current situation in the Tianwu City was turbulent.
