241 The City Lord’s Worry

No one dared to approach Ye Xuan for ten to a hundred miles, and even a fly didn’t dare to come close behind him. This was enough to show how great the pressure of Qian Yuan was.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, for the safety of the people in the city, Yi Chengrui did not tell them the true identity of this young man. Besides him and Shen Changling, not many people knew the true identity of Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan strolled around for a few days before it prepared to leave. After all, Changping wasn’t too big.

“By the way, I’ve inquired about the person you described previously. No monster beasts have seen her. Could you have made a mistake?”

This “her” was Han Yue.

What was the most abundant in the demonic beasts’ forest? Of course, it was the demonic beasts.

Since there were no traces of Han Yue in Changping, Ye Xuan guessed that she should be in the demonic beasts’ forest. With so many monsters, they would notice her.

Who would have thought that Qian Yuan would give him such an answer?

Moreover, Ye Xuan had also inquired with Yi Chengrui before, and the answer he got was the same.

Could it be that Han Yue didn’t come to Changping? Was there a mistake in the news?

Ye Xuan was probably too absorbed in his thoughts that he didn’t hear Qian Yuan even after it shouted a few times. “Is that someone important to you?”

“Sort of. She’s our sect master.”

Qian Yuan nodded. “In any case, I’ll continue to help you keep an eye out.”

Ye Xuan glanced at Qian Yuan, and no one knew what he was thinking. “Do you still plan on staying in the demonic beasts’ forest?”

According to Qian Yuan’s current cultivation, there were no more resources or opportunities left in the demonic beasts’ forest. It should go to the wider world outside. Otherwise, its cultivation and realm would remain stagnant, which would be detrimental to its development.

The impurities in its body had been removed, and even its bloodline had been purified. It had become a true dragon. Dragons traveled in the Nine Heavens. It was obvious that a small demonic beasts’ forest could not satisfy him. This place was not suitable for Qian Yuan.

Moreover, the inheritance obtained from the Dragon Pearl also required practical experience to absorb.

Qian Yuan understood Ye Xuan’s meaning. It said with a little emotion, “I understand what you’re saying. I thought I would stay here for a hundred years or even until I die. I didn’t expect that I’d be able to ascend to the heavens. It’s just that I’m used to staying here, and I still have some things to deal with.”

Ye Xuan nodded. As a friend, he didn’t want to get too involved in Qian Yuan’s affairs. “It’s good that you know what you’re doing.”

After sending Qian Yuan out of Changping, Yi Chengrui immediately arrived. He had been paying attention to Ye Xuan’s movements.

Looking at his hesitant appearance, it was obvious that he had something to say.

Yi Chengrui bowed deeply to Ye Xuan. “First of all, I would like to thank Elder Ye for your help. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid that Changping would have been submerged in the beast tide and turned into ruins. We wouldn’t have a peaceful life now.”

After signing the treaty with the demonic beasts, it was as if they had taken a calming pill. They were no longer afraid of the demonic beasts’ crazy attacks outside of Changping.

Changping had been disturbed badly in the past, so no one dared to leave the city, let alone go to the mine. Now, everything had begun to operate and develop in a good direction.

Although they had lost part of the mine because many spirit mines had been divided into the territory of the demon beasts, they could not take everything. There was no such good thing in the world.

Even if they wanted to, the demonic beasts were not stupid and would not agree.

Ye Xuan could tell that Yi Chengrui wasn’t just wanted to thank him. “City Lord Yi, if you have something to say, just say it.”

Yi Chengrui was a little embarrassed. “I still have to trouble Elder Ye with another matter.”

He pondered for a moment before saying, “In the beginning, it was the human race’s fault. Because of our desires and greed, we have overmined. After those mines were abandoned, they threatened the living environment of the demon beasts.”

“In the end, the cycle of heaven’s law will repeat itself. Karma will hit us, and we’ll suffer the consequences of our actions.”

These words were somewhat out of Ye Xuan’s expectations. He didn’t expect Yi Chengrui to have such awareness.

“I think that the conditions of this contract are considered very good for Changping. So what if we lose some of the mines? It’s still beneficial in the long run. But this is only my opinion, and it doesn’t represent others.”

Whether it was before or after, Yi Chengrui had done a deep reflection. Otherwise, he would not have said that.

“You know how special Changping is. I’m not the only one in charge here. Now that those disciples have died, they’ll send new people here in the future. Those people have not experienced the chaos in Changping. I’m afraid they…”

Yi Chengrui stopped there. He believed that Ye Xuan was a smart person and could understand the meaning of his words.

Those who had experienced the chaos of Changping would know that signing this treaty was a win-win situation, and they might even have taken advantage of it. If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan, the demonic beasts wouldn’t show them mercy.

Even if some people still had opinions about the treaty, they knew that this was the best result and would not tear it up. However, the people latter would not think so.

Yi Chengrui knew that human nature couldn’t stand the test, not to mention those sects that were thousands of miles away, high and mighty. They only needed to give orders, and they wouldn’t care about the life and death of their subordinates.

Even if they were afraid of these demonic beasts now, they would forget the pain of the past again later. After all, humans had the least memory.

Yi Chengrui was worried about this.

Ye Xuan heard the hidden meaning behind his words. “Are you worried about the big sects that will affect the stability between Changping and the demonic beasts that are obtained after much difficulty?”
