Chapter 2188 Orb City
"Oh! That's the Orb City mentioned by the daughter of the military family just now! It's also the port where my Shadow Turtle Clan contacts and trades with the outside world!" said the Shadow Turtle Emperor.
A strange brilliance flashed in Xue An's eyes, "Then, this is also your territory, Mr. Guihuang?"
"certainly!"
"Then Lord Turtle is interested in accompanying me to take a look in this city?"
The Shadow Turtle Emperor was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Xue An meant.
Even Yue Qinghuan was puzzled.
Xue An looked at the distant city with bright eyes, and said lightly: "I have a hunch that the incident that Lord Turtle King asked me to investigate should be inextricably linked with this city!"
As soon as this remark came out, both the Shadow Turtle Emperor and Yue Qinghuan were shocked.
Especially the Shadow Turtle Emperor, he couldn't believe his ears.
"You mean to say that the people from Baozhu City betrayed me?" the Shadow Turtle Emperor roared sharply.
"I don't dare to make a conclusion right now, I can only say that there is such a possibility!" Xue An said lightly.
Even so, the Shadow Turtle Emperor was still furious.
"I have handed over countless powers and wealth to the ruler of this city, yet he dares to betray me, it is really unforgivable!"
With the voice, but seeing the aura around the Shadow Turtle Emperor's body suddenly skyrocketed, there was already a half-step saint like faintly.
It can be seen how terrifying the strength of this naturally bred monster has survived for thousands of years.
But he didn't lose his mind because of this. After roaring a few times, he stared at Xue An with blood red eyes.
"Strong Chinese, I hope you will be targeted. If I find out that you are making false accusations out of thin air, even if you are Chinese, I will tear you to pieces!"
Facing the threat from the shadow tortoise emperor, Xue An just smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I wouldn't say that if there is no basis!"
"Hmph! I hope so." The Shadow Turtle Emperor snorted coldly, and then walked away.
Xue An and Yue Qinghuan followed behind.
But on the way, Yue Qinghuan couldn't help but asked with worry on his face: "Xue An, do you have any evidence? Does the disappearance of the Shadow Turtle Clan really have something to do with this Pearl City?"
"Evidence... Of course I don't have it!"
"What?" Yue Qinghuan's eyes widened instantly.
Then he glanced at the aggressive Shadow Turtle Emperor in front of him, and said in a low voice.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't this looking for trouble?"
Speaking of this, Yue Qinghuan couldn't help but shook his head angrily, "I'm stupid too, this is you who just came outside the heavens, how could there be evidence?"
Xue An glanced at Yue Qinghuan when he heard the words, and then said with a half-smile: "Although I don't have the evidence, I still have certainty, because many things can be discovered by using a little brain!"
"What do you mean?" Yue Qinghuan was taken aback.
"It's very simple. Just now, the Shadow Turtle Emperor said that when his people disappeared, he didn't notice it at all!"
"But in the absolute home field of the black domain of death, nothing can hide from its eyes, so there are only two possibilities."
"One is that the strength of the doer is far superior to him, so naturally he can do this without anyone noticing, but after a little thought, if the strength of the doer is really so strong, why doesn't he directly What about attacking the Shadow Turtle Emperor? So this possibility can be said to be very slim!"
"The other way is that someone who is very familiar with the Shadow Turtle Clan is doing it secretly. Only in this way can the Shadow Turtle Clan relax their vigilance and hide it from the Shadow Turtle King. In this way, it is the most qualified and the most suspicious , naturally it belongs to this Orb City!"
After hearing Xue An's analysis, Yue Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and finally took a deep look at Xue An.
"Is this what you thought of in such a short period of time just now?"
"Is there a problem?"
Yue Qinghuan stopped talking.
Because she suddenly felt a kind of powerlessness.
In fact, she had heard about this matter before, but she didn't think about it at all.
On the contrary, Xue An clearly dissected the stakes in a few words.
But Yue Qinghuan still couldn't help but said: "I still don't understand. As Baozhu City, which was born as a subsidiary of the Shadow Turtle Clan, turning around to deal with its own backers, what good does it do them?"
Xue An raised his head and looked forward, and said calmly: "Human nature is often unpredictable, and people often flock to things that you think are unprofitable, but the motivation behind it can be summed up in two words. Name, one is profit!"
Yue Qinghuan stared blankly at the serious expression on Xue An's face when he said these words, and couldn't help being a little dazed.
Xue An also noticed her gaze, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, "What? You've been fascinated by me so quickly?"
Yue Qinghuan's face turned red immediately, and then he spat hard, "Bah! You really don't mind talking too much, how could this girl have a crush on you? I just think that what you said just now is very similar to another person. It's just a resemblance!"
"Oh? Then who said that?"
A look of admiration appeared on Yue Qinghuan's face, and he took a deep breath and said, "My brother, Yue Shifang!"
Orb City.
As a city that is neither in the starry sky nor has any strategic value, the prosperity here is all due to the orbs provided by the Shadow Turtle Clan.
These orbs bred from the black realm of death are not only complete in variety, but also of extremely high quality.
Whether it is personal cultivation or refining treasures, they are all rare and top-grade.
Therefore, this city was named Baozhu City.
The city lord in charge of Baozhu City is named Zhang Pengtian.
Just relying on tax collection from the sale of orbs, Zhang Pengtian has already made a lot of money.
I don't know how many people are jealous of his position.
But Zhang Pengtian's position as city lord is as stable as a rock.
This is because his immediate background is the Shadow Turtle Emperor.
It was also because of this that the Shadow Turtle Emperor was so angry when he heard that someone from Baozhu City might have betrayed him.
But he is not a fool, so it is naturally impossible to listen to Xue An's one-sided words.
In order to thoroughly investigate the whole matter, he did not say anything, but disguised himself as an ordinary orb dealer and entered the Orb City.
The whole process didn't attract anyone's attention.
But Xue An and Yue Qinghuan were completely opposite.
Especially Yue Qinghuan, when she entered the city, she immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Hiss, what a stunning girl!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, look at the aura on your body, you seem to be a member of the military family!"
"I know her, she was here a few months ago!"
For a while, many people were whispering in the distance, talking a lot.
Yue Qinghuan obviously enjoyed the feeling of being noticed.
Xue An's attention was all focused on this city.
He found that among the people walking on the street, the weakest ones were equivalent to the true immortals in the heavens.
As for the powerful Da Luo, they are all over the place.
Even if it is a strong person in the Immortal King Realm, it is no problem.
Xue An's eyes narrowed slightly, is this the strength of Tianwai?
At this moment, a pleasantly surprised voice was heard from a distance.
"But Miss Yue?"
