I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 877 465: Three Wonders, Five Powers, Eight Meridians

"Ming Yue, have you noticed anything strange about Anchang City lately?"

Walking down the street, Qing Feng felt that the atmosphere around was somewhat strange.

"It's always been like this, nothing strange about it," Ming Yue calmly replied, though he left half the sentence unsaid: since the new City Lord took office, the entire Anchang City has become an invisible whirlpool, causing many families and martial arts schools to leave.

This situation has been ongoing for two years, which is why Ming Yue said it's always been like this.

Qing Feng spends most of his time at home training, without much time to spare.

After two years of practice, they have reached the pinnacle of the Gang Sha Realm and, with a bit more training, can break through to the Postnatal Realm.

Such progress in training speed is something some people never achieve in their lifetime, while for them, it happened naturally.

"Oh, I see," Qing Feng didn't suspect much after hearing this, since he believed Ming Yue wouldn't deceive him.

"Seems there's nothing much to see, let's head back," Qing Feng said somewhat disinterestedly, as he only came out on a whim today, usually spending his days training.

Ming Yue, on the other hand, often walks around, mainly observing rather than inquiring.

"Alright," Ming Yue felt that something might happen today, possibly troublesome, but since it hasn't happened yet, it's best to return quickly.

On the way back, they suddenly sensed a commotion and quickly moved to the side of the street.

"Da Xuan's Golden Armor Army? Do we have Golden Armor Army stationed in Anchang City?" Qing Feng watched a group of Golden Armor Army riding swiftly on their fiery steeds, not caring if civilians might get hurt as a result.

"They were stationed here just seven days ago," Ming Yue said.

"That's rather unusual," Qing Feng said with some curiosity.

The Golden Armor Army is a special force under Emperor Xuan, a type of trump card; they usually either protect Shengjing or carry out tasks for Emperor Xuan, such as capturing wanted criminals or exploring secret realms, among other duties, they're considered close aides.

"Ten days ago, Emperor Xuan was attacked, reportedly by the Demon Race, though the truth of this matter remains uncertain."

"The Golden Armor Army is here to capture the assassin."

Ming Yue explained.

"An assassin? Came to our Anchang City, how clueless is that? Why not go somewhere else?" Qing Feng spoke with a hint of discontent.

Life was pretty good before, but this situation is making him uneasy.

A well-functioning small town now turned chaotic.

"That's not the real issue; the main problem is that the assassin possesses a 'Xuantian Treasure Record.' Now, only the Golden Armor Army is here, but in time, forces from all over the world will surely flock," Ming Yue said with a tone of helplessness.

He previously suggested to Gu Shanhai that maybe they should hurry and escape, but Gu Shanhai was too lazy to even consider moving.

"Oh, I see," Qing Feng was first enlightened and then wondered: "What is the 'Xuantian Treasure Record'?"

"Is it very precious?"

Ming Yue was speechless at Qing Feng's question: "You don't even know what the 'Xuantian Treasure Record' is, and you ask just a head?"

"The 'Xuantian Treasure Record' is one of the Three Strange Books in the world, along with the 'Earth Emperor Jade Scroll' and the 'Supreme Gold Chapter.'

"Not to mention gathering all three, even obtaining just one, with even the lowest aptitude, achieving Unity of Heaven and Man isn't an issue."

"And if you can gather all three, you can catch a glimpse of the God Demon Realm."

Upon hearing Ming Yue's explanation, Qing Feng couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss~ Terrifying!

"Let's go, hurry home and get master to lead us to escape. If this news is true, Anchang City will become a huge whirlpool, and with our little stature, we'd surely be torn apart."

Fight? That's not possible. Qing Feng from two years ago might have thought he could snatch victory from danger.

But now, Qing Feng is much more self-aware, realizing that it's best to stay as far away from such matters as possible; a Strange Book cannot compare to honestly cultivating the 'Longevity Scripture.' Once he becomes a God Demon himself, he'll have everything he needs.

His personality still remains bold and carefree, yet has changed quite a bit, becoming somewhat like the smaller Gu Shanhai.

"Master is too lazy and doesn't plan to leave," Ming Yue reminded.

"No problem, I have a way. Tonight, when master falls asleep, we'll get a cart and push him away," Qing Feng said mysteriously.

Clearly, Ming Yue didn't fully understand Gu Shanhai; he does resist leaving, but if Gu Shanhai doesn't budge while they move, then it's fine.

"Don't joke, wouldn't you leave such a big estate behind..." Ming Yue said, somewhat speechless, noting Qing Feng's thinking growing more similar to Gu Shanhai's over the years.

"Leave it; for master, it's nothing but a drop in the bucket," Qing Feng considered Gu Shanhai wealthy enough not to worry about money.

"Damn, you're asking for trouble," Ming Yue remarked, feeling Qing Feng's approach was reckless.

"Staying here would mean waiting for death," Qing Feng retorted.

On their way back, their back-and-forth dialogue quickly turned into an escape plan.

Though Ming Yue spoke as he did, in his heart, he felt the plan was quite reliable; if life is no longer assured, what's money worth?

Thud~

On the road, they witnessed a fox falling right in front of them, appearing seriously injured.

"This thing... is it a dog?" Qing Feng closely examined it, hesitantly asking.
