Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1525 - 679: Who Is It?
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
Originally, Da Liang City was synonymous with danger.
Now that it is safe, naturally everyone has some thoughts.
Not to mention Song Zhenrong, even the refugees in the group, if they knew that Da Liang City was no longer hostile, most would be willing to stay there for a while or even settle down directly.
After wandering for so long, who wouldn’t want a stable sleep, to settle down properly.
Seeing this, Fang Yu made a decision in his heart.
"Mr. Diao!"
"Mr. Diao..."
At this time, the merchants thickened their faces, wearing smiles as they approached.
However, Fang Yu merely gave Song Zhenrong a look and left it entirely to him to handle.
After all, it was always Song Zhenrong who dealt with the merchants in the group, so it was fine to let him relay the message.
As for Fang Yu, he directly rode over to Hong Yanxia’s side.
"Master Hong, my group has been traveling arduously and really needs a place to recuperate. If Da Liang City can accommodate us, that would be best."
Hong Yanxia smiled.
"Senior, you’re too polite. Although Da Liang City isn’t in the best condition now, hosting seniors is not a problem. Just advise the others not to drink the city’s water rashly."
Fang Yu smiled and nodded.
With such politeness, Fang Yu had nothing much to say.
After chatting a little more, Hong Yanxia began dispatching people to investigate the place where Lin Liang’s body was found earlier.
She herself walked at the front of the group with Fang Yu, leading them towards Da Liang City.
During their conversation, Fang Yu gained a deeper understanding of Da Liang City.
Originally, Da Liang City was dominated by several families.
The Foolish Underworld was also one of the competitors, belonging to the top forces of that time.
Later, the Lin Family somehow acquired a special herb, and after years of cultivation, they finally reaped the benefits, naming it "Withered Heart Cold."
Once Withered Heart Cold appeared, the Lin Family’s development became unstoppable, and they became the sole hegemon of Da Liang City. So prominent was the Lin Family Patriarch that he was even known outside as the ’City Lord’ of Da Liang, a testament to their peak glory.
But after reaching the peak, decline is inevitable.
After Withered Heart Cold propelled the Lin Family to heights, they were never satisfied with just that profit and kept researching new avenues.
The Blood-cooling Pill emerged from this pursuit.
Unfortunately, even though the Blood-cooling Pill was refined with Withered Heart Cold as the core ingredient, its effectiveness wasn’t particularly strong. Initially, some people bought it, but later, aside from forced sales within Da Liang City by the Lin Family, few outside would purchase the pill.
With business losses, the Lin Family’s exploitation of Da Liang City naturally intensified, causing widespread resentment among the city’s people, and growing dissatisfaction with the Lin Family.
"Especially that Lin Liang, a malicious woman, frequently harmed people. Yet, everyone could only hold their anger in silence. Even we, the Foolish Underworld, could only turn a blind eye, not daring to interfere too much."
It was obvious that Hong Yanxia had long been dissatisfied with Lin Liang, and similarly with the Lin Family.
Then again, if it weren’t for the Lin Family’s old patriarch’s sudden madness, their Foolish Underworld likely wouldn’t have dared to resist, let alone pursue the Lin Family’s daughter as they do now.
As they talked, the gates of Da Liang City came into sight ahead.
A group of guards stood at the gate of Da Liang City, with a row of archers lined up on the city walls, appearing extremely vigilant.
If Fang Yu were to lead the group directly, it would likely take some persuasion to enter Da Liang City.
In fact, due to Da Liang City’s internal chaos, they might even refuse outsiders’ entry altogether.
But with Hong Yanxia present, the situation was entirely different.
From a distance, the Foolish Underworld captain watching the gate had already noticed what was happening here.
Because it was far too conspicuous.
So many people, marching mightily towards the city gate, were hard to ignore.
You see, although there was turmoil in the neighboring Thunder City, attracting some refugees here.
These refugees mostly appeared in small groups; even a dozen or twenty people were considered many. At most, this captain had only seen close to a hundred moving together.
In the wild, more people doesn’t necessarily mean safety.
On the contrary, fewer people, with elite strength, find traveling in the wild safer.
A group of this scale moving together without perishing halfway was a rarity to this captain.
Even if they had begun with so many moving together, reducing drastically in numbers after traveling in the wild should be expected.
Could it be... is there a strong protector in the group?
The captain turned his gaze to the person beside Hong Yanxia.
It was a young man.
His appearance and demeanor were alright but didn’t resemble a high person’s image.
Regardless, whatever Master Hong’s stance was, it became theirs too.
So they quickly gathered.
"Lord Hall Master!"
"Master Hong!"
"Lord Hall Master, who are these people?"
Hong Yanxia briefly introduced them and then had them begin letting them through.
"What?! Has that female villain Lin Liang already been killed by this lord?"
"Lord, you’ve eliminated evil for the people. Everyone in Da Liang City will be grateful to you."
"Lord Hall Master, should I go report to the Foolish Underworld?"
Hong Yanxia waved her hand.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
The credit was hers, others couldn’t take it away, so she’d let her subordinates do the legwork for these trivial matters.
With the heavy gates opening accompanied by a heavy sound, Fang Yu and the others finally entered Da Liang City smoothly.
