Chapter 1217 Aura
It was like those Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Anda Merchant Guild, weren't they all receiving spirit stones?
Even if their cultivation level was lower, there would be no problem using these things to exchange for food.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhuowen buried his head deep.
He dared not look up at the others.
"I'm scared, I..." Wang Zhuowen's tears began to fall as he spoke.
Wang Zhuowen knew very well that one could live quite well at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The reason most cultivators appeared to have no savings was because all their wealth was used for cultivation.
But Wang Zhuowen had none of that, because he had never dared to take that step.
Chen Yang, of course, saw through Wang Zhuowen at a glance and whispered, "You're afraid your enemies will find you."
Wang Zhuowen nodded vigorously, "The Lord of a city, at the Core Formation realm, as long as I dare to show my face, they will definitely find me."
"It's my fault for letting everyone down."
Chen Yang stood up and walked to Wang Zhuowen, tapping him on the forehead, "Since you admit your fear, then overcome it. You've taken these children under your wing, and you must bear this responsibility."
"Your initial intentions were good, but you need to work harder."
Chen Yang was actually quite satisfied with the current Wang Zhuowen.
However, he was too young and hadn't fully grasped many responsibilities.
He thought that gathering all these children together was a good thing, but he didn't realize, as he had just said, that the chances of being targeted were too high.
This was not good for him, nor for the children.
"If you are willing, I can offer you a job."
"It's not a problem to support these people."
Wang Zhuowen's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Really? But if I'm exposed, they will definitely come."
Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, "Core Formation realm? Then let them come. I'd like to see what their cultivation level is!"
Seeing Chen Yang's resolute gaze, Wang Zhuowen immediately nodded.
After having the children pack their belongings, Chen Yang sent Wang Zhuowen to a shop.
It was an Anda establishment. Although the business of Hope Land hadn't expanded here yet, Anda's merchant guild was different; it had a presence throughout the entire Yao Du Prefecture.
The shopkeeper of the main city establishment in Yao Du Prefecture was brought to the small courtyard, his confusion deepening.
The little brat in front of him said someone was looking for him. Initially, the shopkeeper just wanted to send them away with some food.
He didn't expect them to produce a token.
Few people in the Earth Realm might have seen such a token.
But he had.
Besides daily business, he was also responsible for collecting a lot of information here.
He was even directly responsible to Dong Cang.
This token was the Dragon Token he had only seen once!
"Could it be that Lord Dong Cang himself has come?"
Just as the shopkeeper was pondering, he pushed open the door and saw a face he would never forget.
"Chen... Leader!" The shopkeeper's body trembled, nearly falling to his knees.
The shopkeeper had considered how he would respond if the person's identity was exceptionally high.
But he never expected that the person would be the leader of Hope Land.
Chen Yang!
Chen Yang found the person somewhat familiar and smiled, "Oh? I saw you at Anda's place, why are you here?"
The shopkeeper chuckled, "The master has too many things to do, so we subordinates have to help share some of the burden, and I was assigned here."
"Do you have any instructions?"
After answering Leader Chen Yang's question, he dared not ask any more.
Whatever the other party said, he would do it.
Chen Yang pointed to the children beside him and said, "Take all these people back and have Anda arrange for them."
"Besides them, look for children in other places as well, and try to save as many as possible."
The shopkeeper looked around. There were at least twenty to thirty children here.
And the entire main city... there were many more!
Is Leader Chen Yang planning to send the children to Hope Land?
Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why Leader Chen Yang was doing this, he had to handle whatever Leader Chen Yang personally requested.
As Xiao Jiu and the others were being led away, Wang Zhuowen looked at Chen Yang with burning eyes.
He waited for Chen Yang to issue an order.
Chen Yang first checked his bones and said, "Your bone structure is really good. You should be suitable as a furnace."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhuowen immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Chen Yang in shock, unable to speak for a long time.
Seeing his nervousness, Chen Yang smiled, "Don't worry, I don't intend to use you as a furnace. Go and lure those people out."
"Be a bait."
Only then did Wang Zhuowen breathe a sigh of relief.
However, being a bait was no easy task.
If he wasn't careful, he might end up losing himself.
But thinking of the children who were taken away being able to live well in the future, Wang Zhuowen did not hesitate, "Okay."
However, just before leaving, Wang Zhuowen still asked the question that was bothering him.
"After finding these people, what do you plan to do?"
Chen Yang said coldly, "What do you think?"
At this moment, a powerful killing intent gathered in Chen Yang's eyes.
Watching Wang Zhuowen's retreating back, Chen Yang attached his spiritual sense to him and left the courtyard as well.
Chen Yang headed towards the prefecture of Yao Du while observing Wang Zhuowen's movements.
According to Wang Zhuowen, although similar incidents had occurred in Yao Du Prefecture before, they had never been so rampant.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Chen Yang felt that these things were somewhat related to him.
Furthermore, Chen Yang wanted to see exactly who was cultivating in such a wicked manner.
Although the cultivation methods of people in the Earth Realm differed somewhat from those of humans, they were far from this wicked.
As Chen Yang was contemplating these matters, he saw the prefecture of Yao Du ahead.
Chen Yang probed slightly with his spiritual sense. The prefect of Yao Du was not present, but there were quite a number of Core Formation realm cultivators.
Of course, Chen Yang did not intend to force his way in.
Using a Daoist stealth talisman to conceal his aura, Chen Yang quietly infiltrated the prefecture of Yao Du.
It was called a prefecture, but in reality, the internal area had long surpassed that of a prefecture; the clusters of palaces were even more expansive than Hope Land.
However, everyone walking inside was a cultivator.
Just as Chen Yang was observing his surroundings, a sentry suddenly blocked his path, "Halt, who are you?"
The sentry realized that he had no impression of the person in front of him, and that the person had no aura, seemingly not a cultivator.
"This is a restricted area of the Yao Du Palace, leave quickly! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
Seeing that the Foundation Establishment cultivator had already placed his hand on his sword hilt, Chen Yang couldn't help but frown, "Do I need to tell you what I'm doing?"
With that, his Core Formation aura directly repelled the other party.
