Urban Wolf King

Upon hearing that Ji Congjing actually recognized the mist, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel delighted and hurriedly asked, "Have you really seen it? Where did you see it?"

Ji Congjing replied, "To the lord, during my travels many years ago, I encountered an Elder. This Elder was very kind to me, and I once saw this Elder take out such a mist cluster."

Wang Yan excitedly asked, "Oh, who is this Elder? And where did he get this mist cluster?"

Ji Congjing said, "I really don't know the name of this Elder, but, when he took out the mist cluster, I once asked. However, this Elder did not answer at all, until one day, after he got drunk, he mentioned only the words 'Demon Land Blood Array' and 'Xianyang'. I know about Xianyang, but I don't know what this Demon Land Blood Array is."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan suddenly stood up and said, "Did he mention the name Demon Land Blood Array?"

Ji Congjing nodded and said, "Lord, do you also know the Demon Land Blood Array?"

Seeing Ji Congjing's suspicion, Wang Yan immediately resumed a calm demeanor, slowly sat down, and said, "These kinds of confidential matters, I imagine you wouldn't be aware of."

This single sentence dispelled Ji Congjing's doubts further, making Ji Congjing feel that Wang Yan was unfathomable.

Right then, Wang Yan inquired further about the Elder, but Ji Congjing kept repeating the same few sentences and couldn't offer anything else of value.

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Although you didn't find the mist cluster, you provided valuable information. For now, I'll temporarily put you in charge of Yunmeng County, Nanyang County, and Chen County. However, you must wholeheartedly find the source of this mist, understand?"

Managing three counties on his own, a privilege akin to that of a Grand General with Ji Congjing's Initial Tier Demon Saint cultivation, made Ji Congjing incredibly delighted.

Ji Congjing expressed profound gratitude to Wang Yan, vowing to overcome any obstacles, and pounded his chest as he retreated to find the source of the mist.

After Ji Congjing left, Fang Jinchun, who had remained silent, frowned and said, "This Demon Land Blood Array... could it be the same array seen in the Blazing Hell at Mozi Academy?"

Hu Wei shook his head and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't this array be too large, spanning from the Capital to Chang'an City?"

"If that's so, is there any connection between the mist and this Demon Land Blood Array?"

Wang Yan pondered and slowly said, "When we defeated the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, it said that the consequences of opening the Demon Land Blood Array were extremely severe. Now it seems, the mist could indeed be related to this Demon Land Blood Array. Otherwise, how could the mist appear as soon as the Demon Land Blood Array was activated?"

Upon hearing Wang Yan's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

Fang Jinchun asked, "So what should we do now? Should we go to Xianyang and take a look?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "In Xianyang City, lives the ruler of the underground Great Qin Empire, said to have the cultivation level of a Demon God. With just us, it's not enough."

"Why not summon our Inner Courtyard disciples?" Fang Jinchun suggested.

"That is exactly my intention, but someone needs to go to Mozi Academy, inform them of the situation here, and ask the Elders and brothers from Mozi Academy to help us." Wang Yan nodded and said.

Ma Jun immediately stepped forward and said, "Running errands is my specialty; I'll leave here now."

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Then I request Ma Jun to take this trip."

Fang Jinchun also advised, "Be careful when passing through the museum; recently when we came, we were attacked by soldier terracotta warriors, which might alert the museum."

Ma Jun laughed and said, "Those soldier terracotta warriors are the boss's subordinates. It was just a false alarm, such things won't happen again."

Wang Yan, who was listening nearby, interjected and asked, "What was this soldier terracotta warrior attack you mentioned?"

Fang Jinchun said, "It's nothing much. When you sent soldier terracotta warriors to find us, we happened to see Beiming Xue surrounded by them and mistakenly thought they intended to attack Beiming Xue."

After hearing Fang Jinchun's words, Wang Yan's face suddenly showed a trace of tension, and he hurriedly asked, "Explain in more detail."

Seeing Wang Yan worried for no apparent reason, Fang Jinchun comforted him and detailed the entire process.

Upon hearing the part about hundreds of soldier terracotta warriors surrounding Beiming Xue, Wang Yan stood up immediately, his face full of doubt and said, "Could it... could it all be true?"

At this point, Wang Yan recalled the three scenes he saw in the Dark Lotus Seedpod at Qinrong Palace.

The first scene depicted Beiming Xue surrounded by hundreds of soldier terracotta warriors, the second scene showed Elder Si Qin being besieged by the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon at Mozi Academy, and the third scene displayed Ouyang Feiting trapped among tens of thousands of strong men.

Firstly, seeing that these were all illusions, but now hearing Fang Jinchun's description, the first scene had truly happened.

Luckily, the soldier terracotta warriors besieging Beiming Xue were sent by him, but the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon besieging Elder Si Qin wasn't sent by him; could it also happen?

Thinking again about Ouyang Feiting, Wang Yan's heart tightened further.

"No, I'm going back to Mozi Academy with you to verify if all of this is real." Wang Yan immediately decided.

"But Wang Yan brother, if you leave, who will guard Yunmeng County?" Beiming Xue said.

Wang Yan said, "I have a way."

...

One day later.

A green silhouette flew out of Yunmeng County, heading towards the horizon, and vanished.

Meanwhile, in the palace of Yunmeng County, Hu Wei sat inside, murmuring to himself, "Being asked to impersonate the boss is really too dull; am I supposed to keep a straight face all the time like the boss?"

Hu Wei sighed, putting a human skin mask on his face.

The human skin mask squirmed a few times, then Hu Wei transformed into the likeness of Wang Yan.

However, then "Wang Yan" smiled and said, "Hehe, I think that Ji Congjing admires the boss very much, I believe I have something to do now, there won't be boredom these days."

Saying this, "Wang Yan" smiled mischievously.

Just then, the green silhouette flew out of Yunmeng County, arrived at Nanyang County, and headed towards the Black Kun Cave in Nanyang County.

If observed closely, this green silhouette was actually a reduced Qinrong Palace.

At this time, inside Qinrong Palace, Wang Yan paced restlessly, muttering to himself, "Hopefully, all of this is false, hopefully all false."

Beside Wang Yan, Beiming Xue, Fang Jinchun, and others, now understood Wang Yan's worries, and couldn't help but feel anxious as well.

As Qinrong Palace flew away from Chang'an, inside Mozi Academy, on Si Qin Peak.

Elder Si Qin was seen bathing in a tub, matching exactly the scene Wang Yan had seen.
