Chapter 499: Rumors of a Sword Fight
Nuocheng, west of the city.
There is a large black ship several tens of meters long parked beside the ferry.
"Brother Su, it's in front." Qin Song gestured to the large ship in front, "This ferry belongs to the Lord of Nuocheng. Every time he travels, there will be several Yaoxing-level masters from Nuocheng accompanying him."
Su Yuan looked at the ferry in front. There were no people at the moment, and there was only one ship.
"You just said that the ferry will leave at four o'clock in the afternoon?" Su Yuan asked.
Qin Song nodded: "Yes, Brother Su, you came at the right time. This ferry usually leaves once every three days. Today is the day of departure, but you have to wait for half a day."
Qin Song quietly raised his hand and pointed at some people in uniform in front of the ferry: "The leader is Captain Lu Han, who is in charge of the ferry under the Lord of the City. He is very powerful and a purple card master."
Su Yuan looked up and saw that the man Qin Song was talking about was thin and had a cold face. He looked to be in his thirties or forties.
When Qin Song introduced this person, there was still some timidity in his words, as if he was very afraid of such a person.
Su Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, then you wait for me here."
"Okay!" Qin Song's face was happy, and then he remembered something, looked at Su Yuan, and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Song hesitated a little, but still reminded in a low voice: "Brother Su, I said before that the boat ticket is generally 10,000 centimeters of star stones...
If Captain Lu Han wants more, you, you must not conflict with them."
Su Yuan's eyes moved slightly, even Qin Song could see that he was the first time to come to Nuocheng, not to mention Lu Han who had been guarding the ferry for a long time.
Su Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."
After that, Su Yuan went forward.
Sensing someone approaching, Lu Han and his men on duty at the ferry looked over.
Su Yuan walked straight up to Lv Han and said, "Captain, I want to take a boat across the river."
Lv Han looked Su Yuan up and down and said casually, "Depart at 4pm, the price is... 2w centistar stones."
"2w centistars? But I heard that the price of crossing the river here seems to be 1w centistar stones."
Lv Han grinned and said, "This price also changes with time. There are many people taking the boat recently. You have heard the old price."
If they are not locals, they probably won't cross the river many times, and they can charge as much as they can.
Moreover, if they want to go around the river, it will probably take dozens of days, and these people can't help but agree.
Lv Han stared at Su Yuan with a raised mouth, waiting to see the young man in front of him struggling and agreeing helplessly. Lu Han has seen a lot of such situations.
"Okay, then 2w." Su Yuan didn't say anything more, and took out 2w centistar stones.
To Lv Han's surprise, although the other party did agree, his expression was normal, and he didn't even frown.
So straightforward?
Lv Han's eyes moved slightly, and then he took out a card ticket with the mark of Lingzi.
"Four o'clock, leave on time."
The ticket money was exchanged, and the ticket was bought.
Su Yuan activated the ticket with a thought, and found that there was a location inside, so he located the ferry, and there was also a number marked "12".
After confirming that it was correct, Su Yuan nodded and turned to leave.
Lv Han looked at Su Yuan's back, his eyes flickered.
It seems that a fat sheep has come...
And Su Yuan's eyes were silvery, and although he left with his back turned, Lv Song's expression changes were all in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth were raised, and a trace of coldness flashed across Su Yuan's eyes.
It seems that he has taken the bait...
"Brother Su, did you buy the ticket?" Qin Song hurriedly came up and asked.
"Of course." Su Yuan took out the ticket.
"Yes, that's it!" Qin Song smiled, "I've seen this thing countless times, but I've never used it."
Su Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It's still early for the ship to leave. Please take me around the city. In addition, I want to buy a map."
"No problem, Brother Su, come with me!"
Next, Qin Song took Su Yuan around the ancient city.
There are all kinds of things in this city, such as star tools, materials, skill star cards...
But there are no surprises such as antiques, broken jade, and wordless heavenly books. Su Yuan just bought the largest map and spent a lot of star stones.
"This is the remaining money for you." In front of the nearest teahouse by the ferry, Su Yuan took out 10 cents of star stones and handed them to Qin Song.
Qin Song was surprised and said, "Brother Su, a total of 10 cents, you have already given me a deposit of 5 cents, and it should only be 5 cents short."
"The extra 5 cents is your hard work." Su Yuan smiled. Qin Song also tried his best along the way, so Su Yuan didn't mind giving him a little more tip.
"This... OK, thank you, Brother Su, thank you, Brother Su!" Qin Song happily agreed, thanked him repeatedly and left.
Su Yuan went straight to the teahouse and leaned against the window to drink tea alone.
Here, you can see the Heihe River by leaning against the window. Of course, the Heihe River is like a pool of stagnant water, and there is nothing to see.
Su Yuan came here to wait, in addition to resting and waiting, there was another reason...
The teahouse is a place where it is easier to get information.
"Hey, Liu Dong from the North District, hunted another epic star beast yesterday!"
"Really? I remember he killed an epic star beast just a week ago. That guy is really amazing. He can be said to be the top master among our Nuocheng Yaoxing."
"..."
"It is said that the Tianshan Moon Milk is about to mature, and the ten sects have already agreed on the sword fight."
At a table not far from Su Yuan, three people were chatting about something.
These three people seemed to be Yaoxing masters who were going to leave by ferry, so Su Yuan had to pay more attention to them.
"Really? That's a grand event that happens every five years. This time, I wonder what amazing and talented disciples from various sects will become famous!"
"Just looking at it now, there are Zhang Chunyi and Mu Kexian from the Taishang Sect, Qiu Wuliang from the Demon Heaven Palace, Sikong Liu from the Wanjian Sect, Bai Su from the Yushou Tian Sect, Tang Tian from the Zhenyang Sect... There are too many masters."
"Maybe there will be some dark horses. Didn't Chen Mu from the Wufang Temple emerge as a dark horse last time and get second place in the sword fight..."
Tianshan Moon Milk, Ten Sects Sword Fight?
Hearing the three people's discussion, Su Yuan became a little interested.
Among the three, the burly man smacked his lips and said, "I'm so envious. If you give me some of the treasure like Tianshan Moon Milk, maybe I can also be promoted to Huiyue!"
The tall man next to him shook his head and laughed, "You're so lucky! Others are the top geniuses of the sect, and they can use the Moon Milk to break through in one fell swoop.
Our qualifications are far behind. Don't you have any idea? Even if I give you all, you will just burst!"
"People can't live without dreams..."
"You said it's a dream."
"Can't I just dream?"
"..."
The two of them quarreled for a few more words, and finally the thin young man who had been listening suddenly spoke.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Li, it is said that this sword fight is extraordinary, and it may be different from the past."
"Oh?" The two stopped, "Why is it extraordinary."
The thin young man lowered his voice and said, "Because this sword fight seems to be related to the distribution of star veins..."
The two stopped, both of them looked surprised.
"Yes! There are so many star veins popping up in various places now. It's not so bad for our remote place in the southeast. Other places have been in chaos for fighting for star veins, not to mention the ten major sects."
"..."
Su Yuan listened to the three people chatting and thought secretly in his heart.
It sounds like there will be some competition among the younger generation of the ten major sects, which is related to the distribution of the "Tienshan Moon Milk" and star veins.
Su Yuan is still quite interested in this. There are star kings and star envoys in the East Continent. I wonder what the top star masters of various sects in the South Continent are like.
But I don't know if I will have a chance to see it. Of course, everything has to wait until I find the divine wind.
Su Yuan was thinking, and suddenly his eyes moved slightly. He glanced out the window and saw a few people wearing the same blue robes downstairs entering the teahouse and walking up.
"People from a sect?"
Su Yuan didn't know what sect this was, but including the three people who had just spoken, everyone stopped talking temporarily after seeing the group of people going upstairs, and cast a focused look.
Four men and one woman, led by a square-faced young man with a handsome appearance.
In addition, the female disciple in the team had bright eyes and white teeth, pure and lovely, and was quite beautiful. She glanced around with a little curiosity in her eyes.
And the eyes of the people in the teahouse were more focused on her.
The square-faced young man in the lead greeted, and then went directly to a box next to it.
"Brother, that demon..."
"Sister, don't say it first..." The square-faced young man quickly interrupted her, and then raised his hand to summon a layer of star power barrier to isolate the investigation.
At this time, the people outside also whispered.
"Are people from Baiyuan Sect coming here? Five of them came at once."
Baiyuan Sect?
Su Yuan's heart moved slightly. There was an introduction to Baiyuan Sect on the map he just bought.
Baiyuan Sect, located in the north of Nuocheng, is not one of the top ten sects, but it is equally powerful.
There are several king-level people in the sect, which is almost one of the large forces second only to the Beast Taming Sect in the southeast.
Although Nuocheng is remote, it is also one of the forces within the radiation range of Baiyuan Sect.
At this moment, the five Yaoxing disciples of Baiyuan Sect looked quite solemn...
Su Yuan pondered for a moment, lowered his head slightly, and the silver light in his eyes had already opened up his omniscience.
With the ability of perspective, the situation in the box was extremely clear. Combined with lip language, Su Yuan also understood what the few people were saying.
"Brother, we have been tracking for so many days, but we still haven't found the trace of the evil cultivator."
"Junior Sister Yun, don't be anxious." Yuan Chao, the square-faced young man leading the group, whispered, "Junior Brother Qiao has just captured the remaining breath of the evil cultivator in the city."
Li Qiaoyun turned her head to look at the tall and thin young man beside her: "Really, Senior Brother Qiao?"
Qiao Huai nodded and said, "Yes, the breath is very faint, but it is indeed there. It should be that the evil cultivator crossed the Nuo River and escaped."
Li Qiaoyun said, "Senior Brother, then we should cross the river quickly. Why are you here for tea?"
Yuan Chao shook his head and said, "Junior Sister, this is your first mission down the mountain, and you don't know much about the situation here.
The water of the Nuo River in Nuo City is strange and weird. Once you touch it, not only will your whole body become limp and powerless, but it will also be difficult to mobilize the star power in your body.
If you want to cross this Nuo River, you can only wait for the ferry to pass, which is four o'clock in the afternoon."
Li Qiaoyun raised her eyebrows: "Is that so? It will take several hours."
Yuan Chao sighed in his heart. Junior Sister Li was a little too eager for quick success.
This Junior Sister Li is very talented and is loved by the Master Uncle. Since she entered the sect, she has basically not been on any missions before reaching the third level.
This time, she followed him and others down the mountain, and it was also the first time for the other party to go on a mission after reaching the Yao Star level.
The target evil cultivator is also Yao Star level, and originally only four people were needed for this mission.
And it was precisely because of Li Qiaoyun that an extra disciple was sent...
