After the last ray of sunlight disappeared behind the distant mountains,
Wei Changxuan asked the locals along the roadside where the best inn in Yongzhou City was.
After ascertaining the address, Qingniao drove the carriage, leading everyone towards their destination.
Shortly afterward
The group finally arrived at their destination—a rather elegant-looking inn.
After the carriage came to a complete stop, the four men dismounted one by one, preparing to rest and recover their strength.
Be fully prepared for the challenges ahead...
As soon as they entered the restaurant, Wei Changxuan and the others heard a cacophony of conversation among the crowd.
"I heard there are people in the desolate mountains thirty miles south of the city."
A large tomb was discovered. More than a dozen people went in, and never came out again.
"I heard that the Gongsun family also sent people to the tomb."
Everything was lost inside.
Rumors are circulating outside that there's a rare treasure inside; otherwise, why would it be so dangerous...?
Chapter 136 The Ancient Tomb of Mummified Corpses!
Inside the restaurant, various discussions rose and fell, like the chirping of insects on a summer evening, noisy and endless.
People sat in small groups around the tables, some talking quietly, others engaging in lively discussions, filling the entire hall with vibrant energy.
Wei Changxuan, accompanied by a group of women who had disguised themselves, slowly entered the vibrant restaurant.
Although they tried their best to dress simply and plainly, their innate ethereal气质 and exquisite, flawless appearance still shone through.
It remains as eye-catching as the bright moon in the night sky.
Every movement, every smile, exudes a unique charm.
This inspired everyone present to look upon him with admiration.
You must understand that in this era, even those who are extremely wealthy...
It would be difficult to gather such a group of women who are both beautiful and talented, let alone have 17 of them all by himself.
Therefore, when everyone realized that these beauties had all arrived with the same person...
Their initially enthusiastic gazes gradually turned into awe and caution, and they all lowered their heads again to focus on their own affairs.
"Waiter, a private room, please!"
As Wei Changxuan's resounding words fell,
A gleaming silver ingot swiftly fell into the hands of the restaurant waiter.
The latter immediately realized what was happening and respectfully led the way to the most spacious and comfortable spot.
Despite their best efforts to minimize their presence, the elegant aura they exuded emanated from within.
However, it cannot be concealed by a few simple and plain clothes.
Given this visual harassment, Wei Changxuan naturally hoped that the girls could relax and enjoy their meal in a relatively secluded place.
After settling everyone in, Wei Changxuan quietly started the process.
His own powerful mental field, strong enough to cover half of Yongzhou City,
Listen carefully to every conversation coming from the hall below:
"Those beauties were truly amazing!"
Who exactly is that young master?
Someone whispered.
Shh—don't be too loud. Just by looking at him, you can tell he must be a very important person who is rich and powerful!
Ordinary people can't possibly take so many stunningly beautiful women on a trip.
Another person quickly reminded him.
"That's right, that's right. Those important people are none of our business. Let's talk about the Gongsun family instead!"
The conversation then gradually shifted to more serious topics.
The Gongsun family's recent actions have sparked widespread discussion.
"Have you heard? It's said that the Gongsun family has spread rumors."
They're spreading rumors about an ancient tomb about to open, hoping to attract martial arts practitioners to their cause.
A slightly hoarse voice said.
"Well, I don't think they lied completely."
The more dangerous the place, the more treasure it often hides. Who would go to the trouble of setting up traps and mechanisms to protect some scrap metal?
Another person agreed.
"That's right, that's right, it does make a lot of sense..."
"Sigh, if only I knew something about feng shui mechanisms and such."
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan couldn't help but frown:
Could it be that the underground palace hidden for so long outside Yongzhou has been discovered?
This seems inconsistent with the historical records of the previous life.
However, regardless of the circumstances, since it has already happened...
He had to investigate it himself.
After all, if that monster, which has been sleeping for thousands of years, were to awaken, the entire city would face disaster...
After dinner, the group settled into the hotel.
Wei Changxuan stood by the window, gazing at the bustling scene outside.
He secretly pondered his plans for the next few days.
The area was brightly lit and bustling with people; occasionally, melodious piano music and the laughter of children playing could be heard in the distance.
The city remains peaceful and beautiful at night.
But he knew that all this happiness was only temporary...
Chapter 137 Inquiring about Power and Cultivating Relationships!
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Wei Changxuan's face.
He lazily rubbed his eyes and stretched.
After tidying up his clothes, he went downstairs alone.
The air was filled with the faint aroma of wine and food, which made him feel quite happy.
He had now arrived at the lobby of this restaurant, located in a prime area of the city.
I chose a seat by the window.
Today, he plans to take a good look at the power distribution within Yongzhou City.
Although he has some understanding of many things in this world,
His past life experiences, in particular, left him with vivid memories of major sects such as the Three Sects of Heaven, Earth, and Man, or the Martial Arts Alliance of Sword State.
However, it's difficult to remember the names of some small gangs that don't even qualify as fourth-rank gangs.
After all, there are so many smaller entities like this that it's almost overwhelming.
Just then, a friendly waiter dressed in a light blue jacket walked over carrying a tray.
Seeing this, Wei Changxuan casually took out a small piece of silver from his sleeve and gently tossed it to the other party.
"Last night in the restaurant lobby, I think I heard someone mention that there is a large tomb deep in the mountains to the south?"
The waiter caught the loose silver coins, and a bright smile immediately spread across his face:
"This gentleman is indeed a wise man!"
You've come at just the right time. My cousin's brother-in-law's distant relative is the third son.
I recently went there to scout out the area.
While it's still difficult to determine the exact details, the information brought back suggests...
It seems quite dangerous inside; quite a few people have already lost their lives because of it.
That area is now practically the territory of the Gongsun family.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan raised an eyebrow in slight surprise and said:
"I see. Then may I ask which martial arts sects in the entire Yongzhou region are worth mentioning?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter paused for a few seconds, as if trying to recall, before quickly replying:
"If we're talking about the most powerful force around here, it has to be Gongsun Manor, which is located eighteen miles to the north."
And then there's the Dragon God Fortress, located twenty miles to the east on the banks of the Wanlong River.
In addition, there are some small groups that depend on them...
However, the exact number of small gangs that exist is unknown.
Even the government has difficulty giving an accurate figure.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan began to make plans in his mind.
It seems likely that I will have to visit these places more often in the future—after all, if I can establish a good relationship with them, I might be able to gain a lot of benefits from it.
"These two places are definitely worth a trip; you might find something worthwhile."
After ending the conversation and obtaining the information I wanted
Wei Changxuan ate a few bites of food and then got up and left the lobby.
As he went up to the second floor, the cool breeze on his face brought him some relief and also made his thoughts more active.
