Chapter 252 Arriving at the Outskirts of Guanshui City
Chapter 252 Arriving at the Outskirts of Guanshui City
"Do you know Guanshui City?"
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Yan Ping's consciousness recovered quickly. When he was about to arrive at Guanshui City, he could keep his eyes open for a long time, but he would feel dizzy from time to time.
He stood in front of the flying boat, looking at the blue waves below. In the early morning, misty water vapor wandered on the water, and occasionally a bird glided among the clouds.
In the clouds, there are tiny islands dotted like stars.
The further you go, the denser the islands become, and finally in the center of this swamp, a city called Guanshui with extensive waterways is formed.
Most of those who can travel in Guanshui City are cultivators, with only a few rare mortals occasionally.
Yan Ping looked at the occasional boats passing by in the water below and suddenly spoke.
Wen Ye handed a cloak from behind and put it on Yan Ping.
The water vapor here is too strong, even at high altitudes, there is thick water vapor.
This cloak is engraved with a simple formation that can easily isolate water vapor.
"I know a little bit. It is said that Guanshui City has no city lord. Although the Tianyang Sect has stationed a base here, it has not appointed a city lord."
Yan Ping hummed, his eyes deep.
The Guanshui City in the original novel did not have a city lord. Not only did it not have a city lord, it didn't even have a city wall.
The Tianyang Sect’s stronghold is only located on the largest island in the center.
He is now acting independently from the plot line. Now that he has come this far, he is thinking about taking Wen Ye to the same sacrificial sites that he asked Ji Heyu for before, to see if he can help Wen Ye level up.
"Although Guanshui City has no city lord, it is very peaceful and there are almost no major disturbances."
"A stronghold of the Tianyang Sect can solve most of the problems."
Yan Ping's thoughts were disrupted. He tilted his head and looked at him, saying inexplicably, "Then do you know why it is so peaceful?"
Wen Ye paused for a moment and shook his head. "It is said that there is a kind of dark crystal stone under the water of Guanshui City, which is very beneficial to those who practice magic, but this kind of dark crystal stone cannot be taken out of Guanshui City."
"Some people may be worried about being expelled from the Tianyang Sect, but people have different mindsets, and this kind of peace is not normal."
Yan Ping snorted and chuckled, then took out a bamboo slip given to him by Feixian Inn. He had previously asked someone from Feixian Inn for some information related to Guanshui City.
He threw it to Wen Ye.
"Look at it."
Wen Ye paused, then put his hand on his forehead and looked at what was inside. After reading it, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"In Guanshui City, besides the Tianyang Sect, there are actually three other forces."
One is the Li family, one is the Feng family, and one is the Sun family.
The three forces are equally powerful and jointly restrain each other, and the Tianyang Sect is walking on the edge again.
Therefore, Guanshui Castle did gain peace.
However, this kind of peace is different from the underground governance of other territories of Tianyang Sect. It is more like the management under family rule of Jingchuan Prefecture.
At this time, the flying boat had slowed down and lowered its altitude, gradually approaching the water surface. Then, with a slight sound, it landed on the water, creating a gentle ripple.
"Which store do you think will house the thing He wants me to find?"
Yan Ping looked at the ripples and diverted his attention to the bottom of the water.
Looking down from above, the water is a sea of clear blue.
But when you get closer to the water surface, you will find that the water in this swamp is crystal clear, and there are lush aquatic plants growing underneath, swaying with the water flow.
Amid the swaying water plants, you can see a few green skulls through the gaps.
Yan Ping sighed softly.
Wen Ye also saw it, his expression unchanged. He handed the bamboo slips to Yan Ping, "Didn't you ask the people from Feixian Inn to investigate the movements in the Demon Realm? What did they say?"
The flying boat landed on the water and then moved towards Guanshui City. It was as stable as if it was on land, but the number of spirit beads burned was heartbreaking.
In just three days, 50,000 spirit beads were burned.
Yan Ping didn't feel distressed at all. He found a place to sit down, leaned against the flying boat, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, saying lazily.
"It only said that a large number of demon cultivators had gathered in Guanshui City. Among them, um... the Left Protector, I guess, also appeared in Guanshui City."
Wen Ye looked at his current appearance and knew that he was upset again. He pursed his lips and focused all his attention on Yan Ping's previous question.
"Didn't Feixian Inn mention where they were staying?"
Yan Ping waved his hand, "No, these messages were sent a long time ago. The messages from Feixian Inn have been cut off since half a month ago."
Yan Ping said this with a half-smile.
Wen Ye's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Something happened at Feixian Inn?"
Yan Ping should have recovered by now. He opened his eyes again, his eyes dim.
"It's hard to say."
After all, the current plot is different from the original one. He doesn't need to rely on the original plot to ensure his advantage. He originally planned to follow the plot in order to prevent Wen Ye from going astray.
But because of his participation, the plot changed uncontrollably. Yan Ping was not afraid of this. With the experience in Fire Spirit City, he only needed to bring Wen Ye to the right place at the right time.
So Feixian Inn, which should have been fine, might have some minor problems now.
Wen Ye looked at Yan Ping and said, "Feixian Inn should have a base in Guanshui City. Let's go and take a look first?"
"By the way, find out the details of those three families."
Yan Ping responded lightly, "Let's go, let's go into the city first."
Guanshui City is essentially a city made up of a series of small islands, and the waterways inside are intricate due to the influence of the water flow.
For first timers, it is difficult to get the direction.
After being pushed by the water flow dozens of times, I saw a familiar island again.
Yan Ping: "...Don't you know the way?"
Wen Ye calculated the route and at the same time moved the flying boat to another waterway he had never been to before. He said calmly, "This is my first time here. Senior, do you think I should know this place?"
Yan Ping couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.
In this kind of place, he could usually get the result by just scanning with his spiritual sense, but he couldn't use his spiritual sense now, and Wen Ye couldn't fly, so it would be troublesome to get the flying boat to take off again.
If they continue to go around like this, they might not reach Guanshui City by dark.
Wen Ye was observing the waterway when he heard voices in the distance.
"It seems that the Li family and the Feng family fought again last night. It is said that the red water area lasted all night before receding."
"That was a really harsh beating."
Wen Ye didn't say anything, Yan Ping raised his eyebrows, but they both looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Driven by the current, the man's voice became louder and louder as he passed through the winding waterways.
"The reason for their fight is quite strange. The Feng family insisted that their family members were kidnapped by the Li family, and the Li family said that their family members were kidnapped by the Feng family."
The man's tongue almost got tied when he said this. He pouted and said, "You're talking like a tongue twister."
He was the only one talking, and no one responded, which made him a little impatient.
"Fang Quan, please say something. Don't let me do this alone."
