Chapter 608 Fabian

"What happened?"

"It's been a whole day and a night, and the golden door still hasn't been opened?"

"Something must have happened inside."

"Calamity Star, Calamity Star must be causing trouble."

"Not necessarily. I have long heard that there are differences within the [Alchemy Hall]. Maybe they started fighting among themselves."

"Isn't there already a river of blood inside? If there are corpses everywhere."

"That's a really good thing, get rich, get rich."

"Hahaha!"

…

Outside the golden gate, 5,000 spaceships were suspended quietly.

This has only been blocked for a day and a night, which shows how prosperous the trade in the Golden City is.

At this time, everyone was sending messages wantonly on the public information channel, speculating on what exactly happened in the Golden City.

But it's all just a matter of speculation, just fun when you're bored.

…

"It's been closed for a day and a night?"

"It seems like something happened inside."

Chen Qi, who also joined the queue, quickly figured out everything in front of him after eating for a while.

It turned out that at dusk yesterday, the golden door that had never been closed suddenly closed.

Everything happened so suddenly that it almost led to a tragedy, and the tail of a spacecraft was almost clipped off.

…

The golden gate suddenly closed, confusing the caravans who were entering and leaving.

Many people even thought they were hallucinating.

But after everyone hit a brick wall, it was finally confirmed that the Golden City was indeed closed.

This is really big news!

…

The Golden City is one of the most important trade centers in the world.

It handles various psychic resources traded every day, accounting for almost 1% of the entire world's transaction volume.

This is not a small number. It is no exaggeration to say that if the Golden City sneezes, the prices of some extraordinary resources in the world will go up.

…

If this door remains closed for 10 days and a half, prices in this world will definitely skyrocket.

This is a business opportunity.

Many caravans have already passed the information back and began to hoard the unique resources of the Golden City.

…

The closing of the golden gate not only cuts off the entry and exit of the spacecraft.

It also cuts off the information connection between the city and the outside world.

Because the real golden city is located in a space gap.

The golden gate is the space-time passage in and out of this space gap.

Most of the forces in this world have no means of cross-space communication.

So everyone can only stare here.

…

"There doesn't seem to be a fight inside?"

"At least there was no battle that could destroy the Golden City."

Inside the spaceship, Chen Qi shined the time-space mirror toward the Golden Gate.

The mirror began to ripple like water waves, but no clear picture emerged.

Obviously, Chen Qi's methods were not enough to peek inside the Golden City.

…

However, the time and space fluctuations that appear on the mirror are quite regular and not chaotic at all.

This is enough to show that the space gap has not changed much and is very stable.

…

Those who are jealous of the wealth of the Golden City may be looking forward to the death of everyone in the city.

But Chen Qi came here for business and did not want any trouble in the Golden City.

After all, this is his most important trading market.

…

"I've been busy practicing these past few days and haven't watched much news."

"I wonder if there is any relevant information on [Nantianmen]."

Nantian Society's interests in the Golden City are very huge, and many personnel are stationed here.

Now that such a big thing has happened, Chen Qi believes that he is definitely not the one who is most anxious.

Sure enough, as soon as I logged into the website, the headline on the front page was news about the Golden City.

…

"[The City of Gold is closed]"

Chen Qi was stunned when he saw the title. He looked so happy, and it was all marked in big red fonts.

Well, after some browsing, it turns out that the same colleagues are enemies.

The closure of Golden City will indeed have an impact on the members of Nantian Society.

But in the short term, it gives everyone an excuse to "raise prices."

Why not be happy if you can make money?

…

In the medium term, if the Golden City disappears, everyone will indeed suffer heavy losses.

But in the long run, this is a good situation.

After all, the Golden City, supported by the Alchemy Palace, is very tough, and its relationship with Nantian Society is a bit tense.

…

Perhaps in other alchemy cities, Nantian Society can still call the shots.

Even if there is an economic sanction, the other party will immediately kneel down.

But in the Golden City, this situation does not exist at all.

…

The Alchemy Palace not only has technological advantages, but also has strong production capabilities.

Nantian Society, which only plays the role of resource transfer and integration, has a hard time controlling the opponent.

Especially in certain business aspects, such as space equipment, the Alchemy Palace has an absolute advantage.

…

This is because the Alchemy Palace was very aware of current affairs, actively cooperated with various plans of the World Government, and even participated in part of the construction of the [World Wall].

Otherwise, how could their space-time gap be completely preserved.

…

"Hey, there is indeed a disaster star causing trouble?"

Although the messages in the forum are full of joy, the members of Nantian Society are also very concerned about why Golden City closed down.

Everyone gave their own guesses, even with various evidences.

…

For example, an old member who has been rooted in the Golden City for many years shared "several tragic cases" with everyone.

About a month ago, several alchemists in the Golden City died tragically.

This is not a small matter.

…

The status of alchemists in the Golden City is not that of workers.

They have all been noted in the Alchemy Hall, which is equivalent to the outer disciples of the ancient sects.

What's more, the alchemists who died tragically were all above the middle and senior level, and there was even a master-level figure.

…

Such wanton slaughter of alchemists in the Golden City is almost equivalent to slapping the Alchemy Hall in the face.

Even the most vicious criminals in the inner world would not dare to do this.

After all, the various resources they need for cultivation also need to be purchased from the Golden City.

…

Only the disaster star can do such a thing.

And the investigation team of the Golden City seems to think so.

In order to capture the disaster star, they have been struggling for a long time.

Of course, in order not to cause panic among other alchemists, this news was strictly sealed.

…

It was because the disaster star had no intention of stopping.

He didn't care about the investigation team at all and was killing on his own.

Incredibly, the investigation team tried every possible way, but still couldn't confirm his identity.

…

"I suspect that this time, the disaster star must have hunted down a very important person!"

"Maybe it was a high-level person in the Alchemy Hall, otherwise it would be impossible to close the golden gate."

The old member swore and even gave the case file of the [Investigation Team].

However, some people still disagreed.

…

“Impossible.”

“The closure of the Golden City is a serious matter, and the Alchemy Hall is in a mess. How could they do something that affects everyone’s interests just because of the death of one person?”

“They must have fought among themselves.”

“There may not be only one disaster star targeting the Golden City.”

“Even the one who caused these tragedies is probably new.”

“According to my intelligence, there is definitely a [disaster star] lurking in the upper echelons of the Alchemy Hall.”

“It has been lurking for hundreds of years, and maybe it has started to attack now!”

The person who left the message this time was Zhuge Xing, the big boss of Chen Qi’s faction.

Chen Qi naturally agreed and gave a thumbs up.

…

The topic of the following messages really started to go off track.

Everyone began to speculate which of the 36 upper echelons of the [Alchemy Hall] was the [disaster star].

As a result, everyone’s eyes were really sharp.

Those 36 guys were not good people at first glance, and they all looked like disaster stars.

If there were no real evidence, I would really like to catch them all in one fell swoop.

…

Perhaps it was Zhuge Xing who started it, or maybe the topic of the Alchemy Hall aroused the interest of the big guys.

The big guys of other factions also came out one after another and revealed shocking news!

For example, the [Alchemy Hall] was engaged in some taboo experiments in private, and their bottoms were not clean.

For example, the reason why the [Alchemy Hall] was able to join the construction of the World Wall in the past.

In addition to the fact that they are indeed good at it, the more important reason is that they "climbed up" to a senior official of a department of the World Government.

A certain "old woman" in the senior management of the Alchemy Hall offered herself to him in the past.

…

Once this peachy gossip came out, the content of the discussion that followed could not be stopped at all.

Chen Qi stared at it for three hours, and finally came to only one conclusion.

That is, the [Alchemy Hall] has all the five poisons, and it will be finished sooner or later.

In particular, a certain big guy broke the news that there was a problem with the space gap of the Alchemy Hall a long time ago.

...

Because of some bad debts in the past, the Alchemy Hall legally retained the space gap.

This is equivalent to leaving a hole in the [World Wall].

Although the [Alchemy Hall] cannot "rely on this convenience" to sneak into the outer ring world.

But this is ultimately a hidden danger and a weak point in the World Wall.

This is irresponsible for the stability and harmony of the entire inner ring world.

...

Both the Ten Super Spell Academy and the Sword of Judgment have long had opinions on this.

However, the Alchemy Hall has backstage protection, and it is difficult to cancel this privilege.

But justice finally came. Just over a decade ago, the World Government cleared a group of termites.

The backstage of the Alchemy Hall was also laid off.

...

Without the confidence of the Alchemy Hall, the time and space gap naturally began to have problems.

So according to the inference of that big guy, the closure of the Golden Gate is a sign that the time and space gap in the Golden City is going to have big problems.

There will be more fun in the future.

…

“I didn’t expect that the [World Wall] was only to consolidate the time and space of the inner ring world.”

“The World Government has other means to isolate the inner and outer ring worlds.”

Chen Qi’s meal was not just for fun.

From the words of the big guys, a lot of valuable information can still be inferred.

…

For example, the isolation of the inner and outer ring worlds, the World Government focuses more on preventing the inner ring world from “smuggling” into the outer ring world.

Unless permission is obtained, once “seeking death”, it is easy to trigger “certain special means.”

If you force your way in, it will directly trigger the [Sword of Judgment].

Under the sword light, everything turned gray.

…

"interesting!"

"Those special means are mainly used internally."

"Instead, if you want to sneak from the outer world to the inner world, you only need to consider the [Wall of Time and Space]."

"Such a conclusion is in line with one of my previous assumptions."

"Are all the demons really locked up in the inner world?"

"Or is it that what is being held in the inner world is much more than that?"

Chen Qi is not a country bumpkin who has never seen alien life.

He had already seen the "smuggling" of alien life on Shengxian Island.

…

There is also a gap in time and space there, because some operations of the Feixian Association led to the appearance of alien life on Shengxian Island.

If Chen Qi hadn't killed them a little harder back then, they might have been able to use Shengxian Island as a springboard to enter the inner world.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the Golden City is indeed easy to be mixed in by outside life.

Its existence is indeed a cancer in the inner world.

…

"This golden city really looks bad, and it's going to be bad luck."

"Should I change places?"

In the spaceship, Chen Qi exited [Nantianmen] and began to retreat in his heart.

After all, he is very busy now and has no time to seek justice.

…

However, coincidentally, Banglong did not wait for Chen Qi to make a decision.

The golden door that had been closed was opened again.

This left Chen Qi speechless.

You really "know how to keep guests"!

…

"It's open, it's open."

"Hahaha, I won the bet."

"Let me just say, the benefits are so great. Every extra day the Golden City is closed, the loss will be tens of thousands of top-quality spiritual stones."

"If it is closed for a month or two, the Alchemy Palace can be closed directly."

The opening of the golden gate immediately excited the waiting caravan.

But what is quite strange is that no one rushed in stupidly.

Everyone is not stupid. What if the things inside have not been resolved yet and it is a trap?

If they really rush in, they will fall into a trap themselves.

…

"Didi, didi!"

With the opening of the golden gate, communications between the city and the outside world returned to normal.

All caravans immediately contacted their personnel in the Golden City to find out what happened.

Chen Qi is no exception. After all, it depends on whether he enters the Golden City.

…

"I'm going, something really big has happened."

"The most outstanding genius among the younger generation in the Alchemy Palace, Mu Tianyang, the beloved disciple of Grand Master Alchemist Fabian, was actually hacked to death in the street."

"That is Mu Tianyang, the super genius who is most likely to be promoted to the Grand Master of Alchemy in the Alchemy Hall within 20 years."

"This is a seed player who has reached the level of creator. No wonder the Alchemy Palace is completely angry."

After the information flowed smoothly, each caravan first confirmed that there was no problem with "their own people" and that they were still reliable.

Then we started to learn the details of the city.

…

As a result, most people didn't know what happened. Anyway, the Golden Gate suddenly closed, and then the investigation team began to bite like mad dogs.

After a full day and night, these guys finally stopped.

And it was from the investigation team that they learned about Mu Tianyang's death.

…

Although the death of this person is indeed a very important event.

But everyone still feels that the Alchemy Palace is a bit fussy and making a fuss out of a molehill.

After all, people cannot be resurrected, and if they make such a big noise, people will not be able to survive, but it will affect everyone's business.

Why bother?

…

"Is it just Mu Tianyang dead?"

"Is the Alchemy Palace's reaction a little too big?"

Although they received accurate information, the caravans hovering outside still had no intention of entering the Golden City.

After all, no matter how important Mu Tianyang was, he would not stop the Alchemy Hall from doing business.

After all, Fabian himself is just one of the 36 great masters of alchemy.

Definitely not that influential.

If he himself died and the golden door was closed, it would be possible.

…

The internal personnel of the Golden City naturally noticed the hesitation of the outside caravans.

In order to dispel everyone's concerns, they not only went out of the city to invite them in person.

More details of the tragedy were also revealed.

…

For example, Mu Tianyang was stabbed to death with a fruit knife in the street.

Although it is unbelievable, Mu Tianyang, who was the Silver Apostle, died in such a strange way.

Not only that, before Mu Tianyang died tragically, more than a dozen alchemists had died in the Golden City.

But in order not to cause panic, the news was blocked.

…

This kind of "self-exposure" finally made the caravans feel reasonable.

It turns out that there is a disaster star that continues to cause harm in the Golden City.

It makes sense that the Alchemy Palace would react this way.

After all, the disaster star is becoming more and more unscrupulous, and now it is Mu Tianyang.

If the murderer cannot be caught again, wouldn't it be the turn of the great master of alchemy next?

…

However, when everyone asked if the disaster star was caught.

The official attitude of Golden City is somewhat worth pondering.

But no matter what, the caravans finally felt relieved after learning that it was the disaster star causing trouble.

Anyway, it was just the alchemist who died, so what does it have to do with them?

As long as the City of Gold remains, business must follow suit.

…

So the caravans entrenched outside the city began to pour into the Golden City.

Similarly, the caravans in the Golden City also began to fly out.

The entire Golden City seemed to have returned to its previous appearance.

The only difference was that all the caravans received a wanted order.

…

It was a reward of up to 30 top-grade spirit stones.

The wanted person was naturally the disaster star who killed Mu Tianyang.

To everyone's surprise, the murderer who killed Mu Tianyang was actually a human girl.

Unfortunately, there was only a vague outline on the wanted order, and the girl's face in the cap was completely covered, but the fruit knife in her hand was quite conspicuous.

…

"Oh my god, I was scared."

"I really thought there was a disaster star!"

"Isn't this Jin Miaozhen? Why did she come to the Golden City to kill people?"

"Since it's not a disaster star, I'm relieved!"

Rumble, the spaceship slowly started, and Chen Qi also entered the Golden City.

In this situation, it is impossible to retreat at the last minute!

…

As soon as Chen Qi's spaceship appeared, it was recognized by many caravans.

If he "refused to enter the door, he would retreat."

Where would the face of the Imperial Viscount and the true disciple of the Academy be placed?

Was he going to be rumored that he was afraid of the disaster?

The golden gate opened at the wrong time. If it had opened a few seconds later, Chen Qi would have turned around.
