Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The passengers on the boat left one after another. Chu Zimo also ordered the Xuanwu Camp officers to disguise themselves and enter the city and maintain contact. Finally, Lin Bai and Chu Zimo walked side by side towards Shangyuan City.

There is still some distance from the ferry to the city gate.

On the way, Chu Zimo received news from the Xuanwu Camp soldiers from time to time.

"The officers of Xuanwu Camp have sent word that Shangyuan City has strengthened its defenses. Every warrior who enters the city must pay the corresponding 'night stone', and can only provide temporary residence rights."

Just as Chu Zimo was talking, a young man with an unattractive appearance walked over in front of them. He held his hands with a smile and said, "I've finally waited for you. I haven't seen Brother Lin and Brother Chu for a long time."

Lin Bai was a little confused, but Chu Zimo kept his face calm and said, "We want to enter the city."

"That's natural." The young man said with a smile: "I'm here specifically to welcome you two. Come with me."

"By the way, I'm here, Molin."

After finishing speaking, the young man chatted with Chu Zimo for a few words, and then led the two of them forward.

"Do you know him?" Lin Bai asked curiously: "I didn't know that you still have friends in the Seven Nights Divine Sect?"

"I don't know." Chu Zimo replied naturally, and at the same time, he deliberately lowered his voice and said to Lin Bai: "The secret agents arranged by the Zhaoxing Division in Shangyuan City. Before we came here, I specifically contacted the Zhaoxing Division. Let them send people to cooperate with us."

Lin Bai suddenly realized this and nodded repeatedly.

"Mo Lin, we want to enter Shangyuan City, but we don't have Ye Shi." Chu Zimo suddenly said to Mo Lin before he came to the city gate.

"Don't worry, you two, I've already prepared everything for you." Mo Lin smiled and took off the two storage bags and handed them to Lin Bai and Chu Zimo respectively.

Lin Bai took it and opened it. There was a corresponding Shangyuan City token inside, which allowed Lin Bai and Chu Zimo to enter and leave Shangyuan City.

There are also a large number of stones as black as ink, each one the size of a fingernail, and they contain pure spiritual power.

"Is this the night stone?" Lin Bai took out a piece and looked at it carefully.

Yeshi is the main currency circulating in the territory of the Qiye Shenzong, similar to the purple gold in the Chu Kingdom.

It's just that the purple gold in Chu's territory is a rare iron ore.

The night stone is similar to a spiritual stone, which contains spiritual energy.

Arriving at the gate of Shangyuan City, the armored soldiers checked the pass tokens of Lin Bai and Chu Zimo, but did not embarrass Lin Bai and the others, allowing them to enter the city smoothly.

The pass token was given to Lin Bai and Chu Zimo by Mo Lin just now.

As for the soldiers of Xuanwu Camp, there is no need for Lin Bai and Chu Zimo to worry. They naturally have a way to enter Shangyuan City.

After entering the city, the streets were even more crowded.

"Ever since the Seven Nights Divine Sect, Heaven Worshiping Sect, Fantian Sect, Chunyang Sect, and Phoenix Valley started fighting, at least hundreds of millions of warriors have poured into Shangyuan City in just a few days."

"These are only a few, there are countless warriors flying in from all directions."

"I just don't know how long this last piece of pure land can last."

While Mo Lin led Lin Bai and Chu Zimo forward, he introduced the current situation in Shangyuan City to them.

"Almost all the inns and restaurants in Shangyuan City are now occupied."

"Also, almost all the elixir shops, elixir shops, and magic weapon shops have been looted."

"The war is coming, and everyone wants to use more means."

When passing several elixir shops, Lin Bai and Chu Zimo subconsciously glanced inward. Sure enough, the shelves were already empty, and there were countless warriors at the door who wanted to buy elixirs.

Inns and restaurants, whether they are large inns or restaurants, or small inns and restaurants with an unimpressive appearance, are all at full capacity.

Most of the people staying there were disciples of aristocratic families who had fled from other cities. They still had a strong childish look on their faces, and some of them were even unusually arrogant, unaware of their current situation.

After twists and turns in Shangyuan City, Mo Lin, Lin Bai and Chu Zimo finally came to a large house. The word "Mo Family" was written in flying colors on the plaque above the door.

As soon as the three of them walked to the door, they saw a middle-aged man with a rich appearance walking out of the house with a cheerful smile. He bowed his hands as he walked, showing a respectful and humble attitude.

"Oh my dear nephews, we are finally waiting for you."

"Come in quickly, the banquet has been prepared in the house."

After this rich middle-aged man said hello, he welcomed Lin Bai and Chu Zimo into the house.

After arriving at the mansion, the middle-aged man shouted away the servants and maids on his left and right, and then his face showed a solemn look. He and Mo Lin knelt down on one knee and saluted with great respect.

"The secret agents of the Zhaoxing Division pay homage to Prince Qin and the Crown Prince of Liang!"

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the father and son were actually spies belonging to the Zhaoxing Division, which made Lin Bai a little confused.

"I originally thought that the spies trained by the Zhaoxing Division would be sneaky little people, but I didn't expect that there would be such wealthy people." Lin Bai chuckled.

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Prince Qin doesn't know something. I was assigned by the Zhaoxing Division to come to Shangyuan City two thousand years ago. After more than two thousand years of hard work, I also received the help of the Zhaoxing Division. , and that’s how we got our current family business.”

"But after we have a family business, we can get in touch with the senior officials in Shangyuan City, and it will be easier for us to serve the Chu Kingdom."

Lin Bai didn't say anything about this.

Chu Zimo generously asked them to get up and talk.

"Your family should be considered a big family in Shangyuan City now, right?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"That's not really true." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Although we have some family business in Shangyuan City, we have not developed it excessively, so as not to attract unnecessary attention from many people."

"So under the premise of our deliberate restraint, my family can only be ranked at the middle level in Shangyuan City, but even if it is the middle level, we can still know a lot of things."

Chu Zimo nodded and asked: "Is there any information in Shangyuan City that is worth telling me and Prince Qin?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man immediately cheered up and said to Lin Bai and Chu Zimo: "I have already reported this matter to the Zhaoxing Division, but it doesn't hurt to tell Prince Qin and His Highness the Crown Prince again."

"Those are the top leaders of the five major families in Shangyuan City. Almost all of them were sent away."

"What?" Chu Zimo was stunned for a moment and asked: "The top five families in Shangyuan City? What level of warriors are they?"

"They should all be warriors above the Taiyi Daoguo realm." The middle-aged man said: "As far as I know, almost half of the warriors among the top five families in Shangyuan City have secretly left Shangyuan City. "

"As for their whereabouts, it is not yet known."

"But we also found out that they seemed to have left after receiving an order from the Qinglian Sect."

After hearing this, Lin Bai and Chu Zimo looked at each other, and their eyes became gloomy.
