Chapter 1221 1132: Demon Wolf King
Upon hearing the name Outer Guan Qin Family, Wang Yan was momentarily stunned and asked, "Are you sure it is the Outer Guan Qin Family?"
Elder Si Qin replied, "The attribute of the Outer Guan Qin Family is special, and we have always been at odds with them. We have studied them for a long time, so we can recognize it."
The other elders nodded in agreement.
After hearing Elder Si Qin's words, Wang Yan carefully stared at the grey mist in his hand.
Seeing Wang Yan's puzzled expression, Elder Si Qin asked, "Wang Yan, I can sense a sinister aura in this mist. Where did you get it from?"
Wang Yan chuckled bitterly and said, "This poison gas now pervades the entire sky above the Capital. You can grab a handful just by reaching out."
Upon hearing this, Elder Si Qin and the others were stunned. Then, all seven of them stood up simultaneously, flew out of the Golden Palace, and left Mozi Academy.
Moments later, the seven flew back from outside, all with a solemn expression, and sat back in the Golden Palace.
"Could this be the revenge of the fiends?" Fang Hong asked dubiously.
Elder Leng shook his head and said, "Impossible."
Though it was just three words, everyone understood Elder Leng's meaning that with the strength of the fiends, this was impossible to achieve.
After all, the grey mist enveloping the entire Capital was beyond what a mere Demon Venerable could accomplish.
Wang Yan said, "Regardless of whether it is related to the fiends, as long as this grey mist remains, the mortals here will be poisoned. I'm afraid it won't be long before there is massive loss of life in the Capital. Do any of the elders have a way to dispel this grey mist?"
Elder Si Qin shook his head and said, "We just tried it together, but couldn't shake the grey mist. Not only that, we discovered that the mist tends to gradually spread outward. If I'm not mistaken, only the Outer Guan Qin Family has the resources for such a grand gesture."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "In this case, to dispel the grey mist, a trip to the Outer Guan Qin Family is necessary."
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Elder Si Qin was startled and said, "No way, the foundation of the Outer Guan Qin Family is extremely deep, even stronger than our Mozi Academy. Especially the head of the Qin Family, known as Emperor Qin, who is exceptionally mysterious!"
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Elder Si Qin, if we don't find a way to dispel the grey mist, what will be the outcome as time drags on?"
Upon hearing this, the seven elders fell silent.
Everyone understood a while ago that if this grey mist was allowed to persist, everyone in the **** would be poisoned, resulting in unimaginable consequences.
However, Elder Si Qin still advised, "Judging by the speed of the poisonous fog's spread, the people of the Capital will be fully poisoned within a month. A month is too short, you may not even find the Outer Guan Qin Family."
Wang Yan frowned and asked, "After all this time, you still don't know where the Outer Guan Qin Family is?"
Elder Si Qin said, "We only know that the Qin Family is in Chang'an outside the pass, but we don't know the exact entrance. It's just like how the Outer Guan Qin Family initially didn't know the location of Mozi Academy, until that traitor fiend appeared."
Realizing how long it took Mozi Academy to find the Outer Guan Qin Family's location, Wang Yan figured that for himself, just a month was indeed too short a time.
At this moment, Elder Bai said, "I have an idea that might alleviate the poisonous fog from the Outer Guan Qin Family."
Wang Yan was delighted and asked, "What is it?"
Elder Bai said, "We have researched the poisonous fog of the Outer Guan Qin Family for a long time; this array can neutralize the poison."
With that, Elder Bai took out a scroll and handed it to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan unrolled it and was overjoyed to find that this array was indeed effective against the poisonous fog.
However, Elder Bai added, "But the current area of the grey mist is too vast; we lack the ability to place such a large array over the entire Capital."
Wang Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "I have an idea. We can reduce the size of the array and hide it in masks and machines."
Three days later, Wang Yan had drawn a reduced array and sent several people from Flame Peak, led by Ma Jun, to find Sir.
After receiving Ma Jun's message, Sir immediately founded an air purification company under Peak Group, specializing in the production of anti-smog masks and space purifiers.
Though these two products were affordable, due to Peak Group's brand and their obvious effectiveness, they quickly dominated the market.
While competitors tried to imitate the products, even completely dismantling the masks failed to reveal the principle behind the anti-smog masks.
Little did they know that within the small masks was a mysterious array established by a Demon Venerable expert.
Though the anti-smog masks and air purifiers bought some time, Wang Yan dare not delay for this mission was to save the lives of a billion people.
On that day, a light flew out of Mozi Academy, heading westward.
This light was a flying treasure, and on this treasure stood five people.
The five were Wang Yan, Beiming Xue, Fang Jinchun, Ma Jun, and Hu Wei.
Though Yan Shilin, Elder Si Qin, and others intended to follow, considering that a larger group would be overly conspicuous and that Elder Si Qin and others could easily attract the attention of the Outer Guan Qin Family, Wang Yan only brought Beiming Xue and the other three. He also ordered Yan Shilin to stay home to train the army.
Thus, Wang Yan felt that the real disaster was about to commence.
Chang'an and the Capital were a thousand kilometers apart. Traveling through Lu Baoding, over Taiyuan, and past Linfen, they finally reached outside Chang'an City.
Chang'an began with King Wen of Zhou, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, hailed as the foremost of the four ancient capitals of the Celestial Dynasty.
"At the palace gates of Heaven opens the palace, nations bow in garments and crowns," describing the elegant and grand majesty of Chang'an.
Landing outside Chang'an City, Wang Yan and his companions looked towards the city.
They saw tall buildings and bustling activity inside the city, akin to the Capital and Wanghai, with only the ancient city walls, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Bell and Drum Towers hinting at a touch of antiquity.
Despite the beautiful scenery, Wang Yan and his companions were in no mood to linger. They immediately rushed into Chang'an City to begin their search for the Outer Guan Qin Family.
Wang Yan thought that since it was the Qin Family, they would certainly have Qin-named descendants in the world, and perhaps like the Beiming Family, possess a vast industry.
How could he know that even after searching through all the Qin-named people in Chang'an, they couldn't find a trace of a demon cultivator?
The search lasted over twenty days.
Twenty days earlier everyone was full of confidence, but now, even Wang Yan felt a little despair.
Considering that Mozi Academy hadn't found the place after all this time, how could the five of them possibly find it in just twenty days?
With the night falling, the five of them had no choice but to return to their residence in resignation.
But just as they stepped into a deserted, empty, and uninhabited alley, they suddenly heard a voice coming from the distance in the darkness: "Demon Wolf King!"
