novelThe Strangeness of Yellowstone Town
| ← Ch.097 | Ch.099 → |
This town was called Yellowstone town.
A stone tablet stood at the entrance of the town. The words "Yellowstone Town" were hung at the entrance, high above the stone tablet.
When walking about a hundred meters forward from the entrance of the town, one would be greeted by bustling pedestrians and vendors!
The atmosphere of the mortal world was full of smoke and fire.
Su Xing had not left the mountain for ten years. When he saw such a lively scene, he was a little absent-minded for a moment.
"Just like how the immortal gate is as deep as the sea, the mortal world would never be tainted by dust! Today, it can be said that I have wandered to the same place as before."
Su Xing smiled as he walked in.
He did not come here just to rest and have fun. Instead, when he was flying, he accidentally discovered that there was something strange in the vicinity, which was why he thought of coming here to take a look.
"Devil Qi!"
He discovered that there was a faint trace of devil Qi hidden around the small town.
It had been more than half a month since his Junior Sisters had discovered the demons from the Secret Realm. During this period of time, the demons seemed to have disappeared without a trace and suddenly appeared near Yellowstone Town. It seemed that the demons did not intend to keep a low profile anymore.
After walking for a while, they had arrived at the entrance of Yellowstone Town's vegetable market.
Just as Su Xing felt that everything was normal and was about to leave...
A few soldiers in uniform with long black iron knives tied to their waists walked up to them.
They stuck a notice on the town's bulletin board and left.
After they left, the people around them swarmed up.
"It seems like something really happened. is Yellowstone town their target too?"
Hearing a man in the crowd mumble, the onlookers were confused.
The notice only stated that residents were not allowed to go out at night. It was not like Yellowstone town had never been told such a notice before. How could it say that something big was going to happen?
"You are the chief bodyguard of the Huang's Escort Agency, Huang Sheng!"
Someone recognized the man who had spoken and quickly asked.
"Brother Huang, who in our Huangshi town doesn't know that you are the most well-informed? What exactly happened? Tell ereryone!"
The man with the handlebar mustache was called Huang Sheng. He was the guard leader of an escort bodyguard agency in Huangshi town. In his early years, he had learned a set of rudimentary Taoist skills from a small Sect. Then, he used his acquired set of martial arts and Taoist skills to set up a escort agency in Huangshi town, where he escorted goods for the Immortal Sects and some other forces.
Huang Sheng, who had worked at an escort agency for many years, was well-informed and had many connections. There was very little information within a hundred miles that he did not know.
Hearing that this person was the chief bodyguard of the Huang family's bodyguard agency, everyone dispelled the doubt in their eyes.
"Chief bodyguard Huang, what did you mean just now?"
Huang Sheng let out a long sigh, appearing somewhat fearful.
He pointed at the words circled on the notice and said, "It's forbidden to go out at night because of a series of strange events that have happened recently!"
"Half a month ago, I received goods from the Qingcheng Sect and traveled to a village. At that time, it was already late at night, so I stayed in the village because I was tired, but that was also the thing I regretted the most!"
Saying this, Huang Sheng sighed again, and his eyes slightly reddened.
"Forget it, I won't say more about the specifics, I want to avoid causing unnecessary panic."
"I can only tell you that you must remember to lock the doors and windows at night. Don't give those people a chance to take advantage of you..."
...
After Huang Sheng finished speaking, he didn't seem to want to say anything more.
With a solemn expression, he pushed aside the crowd and disappeared from the corner of the street.
"Tsk! He's so weird. Why didn't he say it clearly? What's going on?"
"That's right. I think him being the Chief of an escort agency is just an undeserved reputation!"
"Hey! Uncle, why are you pulling me!"
Sensing movement behind them, the two young men turned around and questioned.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"You two brats, go back and ask your parents if you said anything wrong. See if they don't beat your butts into eight pieces!"
It was understandable that the young men did not know Huang Sheng's identity, but the older residents around them knew of his reputation.
Faced with the warnings of a few men, the two teenagers ran out of the crowd in a hurry.
Looking at the information on the bulletin board, everyone was deep in thought.
Huang Sheng had always been a man of his word. He had a high reputation in the small town, and since he had given such a warning, it was impossible for him to be speaking without thinking.
Could it be that something was really targeting Yellowstone town?
...
At the corner of the alley.
Huang Sheng was walking forward with his head lowered. Perhaps he had thought of something terrifying, but at this moment, his expression was somewhat neutral.
"Escort Master Huang, can we talk in private?"
"Who is that?"
Facing the sudden movement, it made Huang Sheng feel as if he was facing a great enemy.
He subconsciously placed his hand on the saber by his waist and looked around vigilantly.
"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be so nervous. I just have some questions that I want to ask you to understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure of a youth wearing a green robe floated in mid-air.
Looking at the handsome youth who suddenly appeared, Huang Sheng could not help but exclaim in surprise.
"You... you are also a cultivator?"
Su Xing nodded his head in a friendly manner.
He could sense that the spiritual energy fluctuation from Huang Sheng's body was weak, which meant that this escort master should be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, for a middle-aged man to only be a Foundation Establishment cultivator meant that his aptitude could not be considered not bad.
However, after thinking about it, Su Xing understood. If he was someone with good cultivation, he would not be willing to come to Yelowstone town to be a guard.
After knowing that the person was a cultivator, Huang Sheng put down the knife in his hand.
This was because he realized that although the youth in front of him did not reveal a trace of Aura, with this flying technique, his cultivation was probably a hundred times better than his own.
If he wanted to harm him, he would not be able to resist at all.
Hearing Su Xing's intentions, Huang Sheng heaved a sigh of relief.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, there are too many people here and too many mouths to feed. If you want to know, come with me to the escort agency to talk."
Su Xing nodded and the two of them walked out of the alley.
After walking through the bustling street and walking for about ten meters, a relatively thick and heavy door appeared in front of them.
"Please, fellow Daoist!"
Huang Sheng, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, had recruited a group of people here. After establishing the Huang's escort agency, he had helped people escort goods for a living. In the past few years, he had done quite well.
With a burst of martial cries, the two walked into the escort agency.
At this time, in the courtyard of the escort agency.
Dozens of escort masters were practicing. Most of them were Qi Refinement Stage cultivators, and two of them had already reached the early Foundation Establishment Stage.
The escorts were facing the rising sun, practicing a relatively shallow set of fist-fighting techniques.
After Su Xing and Huang Sheng walked in, one of the Foundation Establishment Stage escorts quickly walked up to them.
"Greetings, Chief Escort!"
The Foundation Establishment Stage escort looked at Su Xing curiously.
"This is...?"
"This is my distinguished guest, er..."
Huang Sheng just remembered that he had not asked for this young man's name yet, so he hurriedly cast an inquiring gaze.
"I'm Su Xing, a disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect!"
Su Xing swept a glance at the Foundation Establishment Stage escort and smiled as he greeted him.
"So it's the chosen one of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect. I'm Huang Lei, the second head of the Huang clan's escort agency. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"A pleasure to meet you!"
A hint of envy flashed in the eyes of the Foundation Establishment Stage escort.
One had to know that these unaffiliated cultivators like the, basically had extremely poor talent, and it was extremely difficult for them to even join a small sect. Su Xing was actually a disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect, one of the ten great sects. It could not be said that it was not something to envy
