Chapter 1202: Chapter 854: Return to the Abyss_3
World Breakers!
In the eyes of Triple City, they are people of great standing, most of whom live in the Floating City!
In the three fortresses below the Floating City, they all could be called sect leaders or patriarchs of the Dao!
It’s quite rare to see such strong individuals willing to run businesses so laboriously, which shows that the profits from these trades must be considerable.
After all, fixed assets are not easy to manage, especially those with good returns…
“Haha, there’s nothing about big shot this or that, we merchants don’t have as many rules as you do.”
Compared to those high-and-mighty World Breakers in Triple City, the green-vested Yumu was more approachable, with a smiling face towards the ordinary security officers, even handing out a cigarette to each one of them.
“Good stuff from the State Capital, have a try.”
“Thank you, Master Yumu.”
“Hehe, World Breakers sure are generous.”
No one refused and they all happily started to smoke.
Meanwhile, the squad captain stamped the documents, and as he handed an identity card to the caravan’s vice captain, he tactfully mentioned some recent events,
“Recently, our city has been alright. Due to the Flame of Civilization in the neighboring Starshine City changing, the number of traveling merchants has increased, which has led to a slightly higher number over here as well. Then, not long ago, an unsettling pressure suddenly emerged from the Gray Mist, everyone felt it. Now there’s a rumor saying that a Holy War might have erupted in the Gray Mist.”
Such lofty topics did not significantly touch the security officer captain, who treated it as gossip, sharing it with enthusiasm.
This also made Yumu’s face appear somewhat grave.
“Where’s this news about a Holy War coming from? The mission hall? We also felt that pressure in the Gray Mist Zone and nearly couldn’t breathe! We thought some new monster had appeared, didn’t expect it to be a Holy War!”
As a World Breaker, Yumu himself did not come from a family background, he was a first-generation entrepreneur who got lucky and had good talent and opportunities.
He had no knowledge of Holy Wars, and had not been nearby when Starshine changed, this was the first time feeling it!
“Not the mission hall, but it feels somewhat similar to when Starshine had its change, there was a notice then, and this time it seems more severe.”
This remark made everyone in Yumu’s caravan take a sharp breath.
While receiving the identity cards and distributing them, the caravan’s vice captain muttered,
“Ah, this world is getting tougher and tougher, can Saints engage in battles so frequently in the Current World? A slight impact and it might all turn to dust, right?”
When handing the card to Tao Yu, he also asked rhetorically, not finding anything odd about the sudden appearance of Tao Yu.
It prompted Tao Yu to nod in agreement, taking what was handed to him.
“Yes, you’re right.”
After distributing them, the vice captain discovered one was missing, he himself didn’t have one, so he turned back and said to the officer,
“Brother, one is missing, look.”
“Huh? I thought I gave the right amount, oh, sorry, I may have grabbed the wrong one.”
——
“Hey? Where are my snacks? Did one of you eat them?”
A cute girl with a bun hairstyle, wearing a martial arts outfit, looked curiously at her empty snack bag in her hand.
“Not me.”
“I didn’t eat them…”
While people in Yumu’s caravan were discussing the case of the missing snacks, Tao Yu had already entered one of the fortresses in Triple City.
Compared to the Inner City of Starshine, Triple City covers a much wider area, although the residential area is not much different, just with more mountains, providing a better environment.
The fortresses are mostly wooden, as are the inside buildings.
With a temporary identity card, Tao Yu could rent a house or stay at an inn, but since he came mainly for a short stay, he didn’t need those. He just took a turn at the task hall and found clues from the Thieves’ Guild.
After thorough investigation and using Cross-Boundary Communication with Starshine City and the State Government Office to verify, they compiled the latest information…
“Covering up the death of a Saint? Would the White Star Group really be unaware…?”
Although the news of a Holy War has spread, judging by current channels from every direction, there is no information indicating any Saint has fallen!
After collecting the Sacred Intent and every remnant from the battlefield, other than knowing that there was a clash of Saints, no information indicated the downfall of any Saint.
But the key point is, one escaped back, and when such things happen, wouldn’t all major forces also verify with their Saints?
“Lei Jingtian is a significant high-level figure in the White Star Group, other than the Bai Family, he holds a lot of sway; during a Holy War, it’s normal for Saints to communicate with one another, plus something like soul tablets, by now the death should have been confirmed, it’s oddly low-key…”
Initially, Tao Yu thought that perhaps Lei Jingtian, like Elder from the Pure Family, took on a private job unrelated to the Lei Family or the White Star Group.
But it now seems the White Star Group cannot be ruled out as a suspect.
They are acting too calm, if something seems out of the ordinary, there’s usually something suspicious.
Originally, if a Saint from their own side died unexpectedly, it’s likely for all Saints to be mobilized, even the existence of the Bai Family rumored to be on the path to Godhood might make an appearance.
But now it’s like they just took a loss quietly, without any reaction.
