At dawn, Ningyuan City is completely different from its past tranquility.
On the streets and alleys, the city defenders were heavily guarded.
Whether they were people getting up early to exercise or busy vendors, they were all subject to strict interrogation.
Even in residential areas, there are countless city defenders searching from house to house.
The Xuanjia Palace in Ningyuan City was wiped out overnight, and nearly a hundred guards of the Qiu Manor died.
Not even a single bit of news was released, and he was immediately killed.
Since the founding of Ningyuan City, this is the first time that a genocide has occurred. The news spread to the streets and alleys in an instant with the rising sun.
"Have you heard? Xuanjia Palace was destroyed, and everyone died overnight."
"It has been spread all over the place. It is said that Emperor Zun took action himself!"
"What? I heard someone said that dozens of sages came into the city and killed him directly!"
"Stop bragging, how many venerables are there in the entire Longmian Continent? How is that possible!"
…………
In the city guard's mansion in Ningyuan City, a heroic man wearing black armor and a red cloak was standing in front of a golden dragon spear.
With a serious expression, as if he was very angry, he shouted in a deep voice: "A bunch of trash, the ancestor of the Qiu family is a venerable person, how could he die in a dream?"
"Sir, the result of our investigation is indeed like this. The ancestor Qiu died in his room, his heart was pierced by the soul power, but there was a smile on his face.
There wasn't a long fight in the room, so he couldn't have been attacked to death."
"Hmph, I don't care how the process goes. In three days, I must find the murderer, otherwise..." the man in black armor shouted angrily.
He is Liang Yu, the governor of Ningyuan City. Although he is a high-ranking earth soul master, his combat prowess is extremely amazing. His black feather spear is even known to the world.
It is said that Liang Yu only spent forty years to become a venerable, and has been trapped in the venerable rank ever since.
Some people say that he has insufficient qualifications, while others say that he has contributed the soul beads he has reserved for the development of Ningyuan City.
This resulted in the delay in being promoted to the Holy One.
The person who reported the report was a little frightened by Liang Yu's drink. Although he was embarrassed, he had to grit his teeth and comply.
Just as he was about to retreat, Liang Yu seemed to be unable to bear it, so he softened his tone and said in a deep voice: "Just do your best with regard to the Xuanjia Palace. The main thing is to ensure that the competition for the 'District Ranking' in one month's time is flawless.
"
"Yes, sir! Chongshan will do his best."
After saying this, he retreated. This man was Yu Chun's father, Yu Chongshan, the seventh among the eight guardians.
"Hmph, I wonder who the Holy City will send to take over the Xuanjia Palace here. If it interferes with my affairs..." Liang Yu's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness.

Facing the morning light, Mu Yang walked slowly on the streets of the outer city with Luo Wan on his back. They had already been interrogated.
Of course Mu Yang knew what happened, but he still acted incomprehensible.
He lied that his brother and sister had just completed their mission as soul hunters and had returned from outside the Green Zone.
In addition, both he and Luo Wan looked scarred, so the suspicion was easily eliminated.
"There is nowhere to go!" Mu Yang shook his head helplessly, sighing in his heart, and walked aimlessly.
He has no relatives in Ningyuan City, and according to Luo Wan, the Luo family will not care about her life or death at all.
Even if they go now, Mu Yang has intimidated them with his strength, but if they don't sincerely help, it will only increase the risk of exposure.
Mu Yang had no choice but to kill all Luo Wan's relatives, right?
That was the only relative she had left in this world. Although the relationship was bad, blood was thicker than water.
Moreover, her grandfather did not reject her very much. He would give her some food from time to time during holidays.
It's just that for some reasons, Luo Wan cannot be allowed to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.
"We have money for food and accommodation, so we can't take her to sleep on the street, right? Five attacks a day will definitely attract attention."
Mu Yang was thinking to himself and unknowingly arrived in front of the Soul Hunters Guild.
It’s just early in the morning, and it’s already very lively here. There are people who are forming teams to go out of the city, and there are people who are promoting themselves.
There are even people who show off their strength in an attempt to receive a high-priced mission.
"Quick, quick, let's form a team to go out of the city for a rescue mission. We are missing an intermediate-level or above martial soul master! There is also an intermediate-level water soul master in the team to ensure your safety."
A burst of shouting immediately caught Mu Yang's attention. He turned around and saw the strong man with a beard, shouting hard,
Mu Yang suddenly stopped and frowned, thinking.
When interacting with people, status is the key. If you want to successfully rescue Luo Wan and retrieve Li Jiaojiao, you will inevitably seek help from some high-ranking people.
His current status as a sage martial spirit master alone is not enough to talk to them, let alone get any valuable information.
Only when the gap in status is not large, will you gain more say.
At least this way, you can save a lot of trouble and avoid putting yourself in danger all the time.
The easiest way to improve his status is to participate in the competition on the ‘District Ranking’. This is the same as his previous idea.
It's just that it will take more than a month for the 'land ranking' to start. During this time, I can't do anything.
It's better to earn some soul beads so that Luo Wan can eat and drink and live a little more comfortably.
Moreover, he often takes on missions out of the city, which can also reduce the possibility of Luo Wan's strange behavior being discovered.
Thinking of this, Mu Yang hurriedly walked to Lu Xiu's side: "I am a martial spirit master, I will join!"
The bearded man saw Mu Yang carrying a woman on his back, looking in tatters, but he didn't pay much attention.
Hearing this, he looked Mu Yang up and down and said apologetically: "Sorry, what we are looking for is a soul hunter. You don't even have a monogram, so forget it."
"No, what does that logo mean? I'm very strong!" Mu Yang was extremely speechless. He didn't expect that he, a virtuous spirit master, would be despised by others.
"Brother, I'm not looking down on you. Fighting against soul beasts is no better than that of humans. Their physical strength is very high.
If you don't have a monogram, it means you haven't killed a soul beast, so it's definitely not good."
"I...wipe it." Mu Yang said with a dark face and gritted teeth, "Okay, wait, I'll get a monogram."
Mu Yang was so angry that he walked into the Soul Hunters Guild with a dark face.
The hall of the Soul Hunters Guild is very spacious. On the left is the area for accepting tasks, and on the right is the area for completing tasks and receiving rewards.
The bottom of the huge screen in the middle is dedicated to serving new soul masters. At this moment, there are actually dozens of people lined up.
Everyone is anxiously waiting for the arrival of the staff.
Seeing this long queue, Mu Yang almost collapsed. Luo Wan might wake up at any time.
If she screams in pain in front of so many people, maybe others will think that she is a trafficker of women.
If it causes misunderstandings, or even leads to an investigation by the city defenders, it will be troublesome.
"Brother, can I jump in line? I have something urgent."
Mu Yang walked to the front of the team and asked a little embarrassedly.
"Hey, are you the only one in a hurry? Ask the others behind you, who is not in a hurry?"
After the man finished speaking, everyone behind him immediately agreed, nodding and whispering.
"That's right, we're all waiting to get the monogram quickly and take on the mission."
"My eighty-year-old mother is still waiting for dinner."
"Hey, my baby has been weaned for three days."
…
Mu Yang was helpless, rolled his eyes, looked cold, and said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way!"
Then he mobilized his soul power, and the pressure caused by the surging soul power suddenly penetrated his body,
The soul masters who were so shocked that they had made such sarcastic remarks immediately closed their mouths and buried their heads with evasive eyes.
In the past life, people would even get beaten up if they jumped in line. Muyang knew that even though it was a bit unethical, he knew that doing so was unethical.
But under the current special circumstances, he could only do this.
"Sage, sage!" The man at the front of the team suddenly trembled with fear, "Yes, I'm sorry, you
First, you first."
After saying that, he quickly squeezed back and honestly made room for Mu Yang.
As for the people at the back of the team, they all looked at the sky and looked like they had no idea what was going on.
"It's really a world where strength is respected." Mu Yang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "They even think this is what should be done."
Yes, as Mu Yang said, this world is based on strength. The strong decide the life and death of the weak. No one will think this is abnormal.
Not long after, the staff member responsible for receiving the new soul masters finally walked over leisurely carrying a bag of food.
With a stinky face on his face, he reluctantly sat at his desk.
"Hello, I want to become a soul hunter." Mu Yang said politely with a smile.
The staff member raised his head and glanced at him after hearing this, then rolled his eyelids and said impatiently: "Why are you panicking? Didn't you notice that I haven't eaten breakfast yet?"
"Uh..." Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, but he still held back his temper and waited quietly.
After half an hour, the staff finally destroyed all the food they brought. When Mu Yang saw this, he said repeatedly: "Hello, I want to..."
But when he was halfway through speaking, the man waved his hand and interrupted: "Hey, why are you panicking? Are you eager to die? Didn't you watch me drink water?"
Then he picked up the water glass, drank a few sips of it, and then said in an extremely arrogant tone, "Since you are so anxious, go to the back and queue up."
"What?" Mu Yang was suddenly furious, and his voice couldn't help but become much louder, "Why should I go to the back?"
"Why? I have the final say here!" the staff member said loudly with a sharp voice, "Now I don't want to do it for you, what can you do?"
"you……"
"What are you, are you going to go to the end? If not, we will spend the day here!" After saying this, the staff lowered their heads and started to trim their nails.
"I...bastard! How can I let you bully me anymore?" Mu Yang shouted angrily, the soul power in his body surged crazily, and the sage's aura was immediately exposed.
Then he directly reached out and clawed at the staff member. He was so fast that before she could react, Mu Yang pinched her neck, lifted her out of the workstation, and held her in the air.
Mu Yang's fingers were stuck in her throat, making it impossible for her to beg for mercy. She had to shake her legs crazily and try hard to pry Mu Yang's fingers away with both hands.
It's a pity that she is only a small junior soul master, and in the hands of the sage, she has no chance of making a comeback.
"Oh my god, is this a wise man?"
"Why did the sage come here to register the monogram?"
"Perhaps he is a young master from some family. He has never been out of the Green Zone. He relies on his family's wealth to accumulate strength, right?"
"What are you thinking about? Which family has the ability to provide a sage?"
…………
The commotion in the reception area immediately attracted everyone's attention, and several guards responsible for security rushed over.
But when they saw that the person causing trouble turned out to be a sage, they suddenly became a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
"Sir, please calm down and put down our staff."
As the sound came, the crowd suddenly opened a gap, and saw a man in a white formal suit walking over.
At this moment, he was looking at Mu Yang calmly, and his words were also extremely calm.
"Are you in charge?" Mu Yang raised an eyebrow, turned around and asked in a deep voice, "If not, you can get out."
The visitor didn't seem angry when he heard this. He still said in a calm tone: "My name is Yuan Wenhuai, and I am the vice-president of the Ningyuan City branch of the Soul Hunters Union. What do you call me sir?"
"Ha, vice president, right?" Mu Yang chuckled, and then threw the staff member on the ground, "Don't worry about who I am, your attitude is very bad, how should I deal with it?"
"Oh?" Yuan Wen asked suspiciously, "What exactly is going on?"
After hearing this, Mu Yang recounted the incident in detail, then folded his arms and looked at Yuan Wenhuai quietly.
"Well, since sir said so, I will still believe you." Yuan Wenhuai looked calm and started thinking with his hands behind his back.
