NOVEL WEB Chapter 469: Heavenly Destiny City!
Two hours later.
Still at the same tavern.
"Those four from the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect died of poisoning, perished during Deceit Night, devoured by Evil, leaving only skeletal remains."
"The Saint Master is extremely murderous; if he encounters these people, they will surely die under his blade."
"Xi Yun Prefecture and Qingyun Prefecture are tightly controlled, with no trace of the Saint Master."
"Around Heavenly Destiny City, strict vigilance is already in place, preventing that Hundred Households from infiltrating the city, disrupting the grand ceremony, and spreading this matter."
"Quickly capture this Hundred Households to prevent future troubles."
"Pay attention to the Saint Master's movements!"
——
Two days later.
Outside Heavenly Destiny City.
A merchant team of about a hundred people, transporting goods, heading to Heavenly Destiny City.
Heavenly Destiny City boasts the most prosperous sights, the finest craftsmanship, the most splendid clothing, and the most exquisite objects in the world...
The goods transported from Heavenly Destiny City can be sold at high prices across the Holy Alliance.
Conversely, Heavenly Destiny City, located here, also lacks many things.
Such as fish and shrimp from the eastern Sea Domain, game from the northern snowfields, rare mineral salt from the southwest, fruits produced in the southern direction, etc...
Special products from various regions of the Holy Alliance are rare treasures in Heavenly Destiny City.
In this era, venturing into the outside world is akin to exchanging life for wealth.
But escorting goods, traveling to and from places, earns lavish rewards.
It is a piece of fat meat!
The truly large merchant teams have backing, capable of connecting many cities, with powerful influence!
And the Silver Tael earned each year must be offered to the forces behind them.
For those in power, wealth can expand their influence and provide more resources for them.
This is also a rule tacitly approved by the Holy Alliance!
Many strong individuals of the Human Clan develop influence for profit... Collecting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, obtaining Elixirs, Weapons, Cultivation Techniques, and even ancient artifacts!
And this particular merchant team, named Red Flame, is backed by one of the great clans in Heavenly Destiny City, the Wang Family!
The Wang Family's ancestors, a thousand years ago, were Supreme Elders of the Holy Alliance, one of the founders of Heavenly Destiny City.
After many years, the Wang Family has proliferated in the city, branched out, and now has tens of thousands of family members.
And many of the Wang Family members have positions in the Holy Alliance, with solid foundations.
The most powerful existence in the current Wang Family is a God Lord of Creation, an Elder of the Holy Alliance, wielding significant power.
"You two, ahead is Heavenly Destiny City..."
The leader of the Red Flame merchant team looked at the two beside him and said, "Recently, Heavenly Destiny City has been under martial law. Normally, unfamiliar faces will be subjected to strict checks."
"However, our Red Flame merchant team has backing and won't face deliberate difficulties."
"The Treasure Mirror before Heavenly Destiny City only reflects Evil and won't harm humans."
He spoke with a respectful appearance.
Just the day before, the Red Flame merchant team encountered a group of demons, suffering heavy losses.
He himself was in the Refining God Realm, yet couldn't fend off the siege of six Great Demons. Even with the Treasure gifted by the Wang Family's old ancestor, he only managed to restrain three Great Demons.
If it weren't for these two stepping in, slaying Great Demons, and exterminating the demon group, the hundred or more members of the Red Flame merchant team might have lost their lives.
Originally, because the identities of these two were a mystery, he was cautious, but the life-saving debt cannot be ignored.
What's more, these two are far from ordinary, their Combat Power astonishing.
Judging by the journey, these two are not malicious.
Especially the younger one, who exclusively kills Evil but isn't stingy in instructing the Martial Artists within the merchant team.
His deep expertise in Human Clan Martial Arts is unfathomable.
"As long as they aren't transformed by Evil, everything is negotiable!"
The leader of the Red Flame merchant team thought to himself: "Once inside Heavenly Destiny City, reporting to the Wang Family will be much safer! Although the old gentleman has not acted, the young man is incredibly capable. It seems they probably have unusual identities, and heading to Heavenly Destiny City... most likely to directly reach the headquarters of the Holy Alliance!"
With these thoughts, he started suspecting, perhaps the old man who hasn't acted so far is one of the current Elders of the Holy Alliance, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Wang Family's ancestor.
Thinking this, the respectful appearance on his face became even more intense.
Opposite him were two people, one a middle-aged man, the other extremely aged.
The middle-aged man had been transformed by Lin Yan.
The elder was that Hundred Households Zhou.
Given Lin Yan's current expertise, changing appearance is not difficult.
Both had altered their identities, infiltrated Xi Yun Prefecture, seized the evidence of Marquis Wangxi's crimes, and made their way to Heavenly Destiny City.
Along the way, they noticed that Heavenly Destiny City had strict vigilance, particularly towards outsiders, resulting in rigorous checks.
So they borrowed the identity of the merchant team to blend in and enter Heavenly Destiny City.
The leader of this Red Flame merchant team had a cautious nature, but Lin Yan used a Mirage Dragon Pill from the Human Emperor's Bag, leaving him at their mercy.
——
Upon entering Heavenly Destiny City, they faced three consecutive checks, with the final check at the city gate being the strictest.
The Treasure Mirror on the city wall shone its light, scanning among them.
Lin Yan and Zhou Hundred Households were not Evil.
At most, they had altered their appearance, insufficient to trigger the Treasure Mirror's anomaly.
Amid the people entering and exiting the city gate, they blended into the merchant team, appearing unobtrusive.
Upon entering the city, they registered their names.
Zhou Hundred Households casually filled in two names, including age, household registration, residence, and so forth, all very skillfully.
He was originally a Hundred Households of the Demon Suppression Department, quite familiar with information from various sources.
"A name randomly fabricated?" Lin Yan turned to look at Zhou Hundred Households, showing a questioning expression.
"No." Zhou Hundred Households lowered his voice and said, "Qingyun Prefecture also has merchant teams traveling to Heavenly Destiny City, and some prominent figures behind the merchant teams from Qingyun Prefecture occasionally come to Heavenly Destiny City."
