Chapter 2286: Chapter 2281: Feng Family of Source Stone City

The old prophet of the Demon Slayer Clan waved at Barton Nake, and facing Cong Shuai, he reached out, took Cong Shuai’s hand, and let him sit beside him.

In the prophet’s room, there were only two chairs, and Cong Shuai awkwardly looked towards Tang Ming who stood by the side.

Tang Ming smiled at Cong Shuai and said, "If the senior prophet asks you to sit, then just sit."

Cong Shuai nodded his head, but he sat there without daring to settle, always looking as if he could stand up at any moment.

The old prophet of the Demon Slayer Clan didn’t seem to want to talk to him, instead, his gaze fell on Tang Ming. "City Lord Tang Ming, do you know what I admire most about you?"

"What?"

Tang Ming raised his eyebrows.

It’s said that this old man can see the future, but suddenly hearing this, Tang Ming was quite surprised.

"Hahaha, what I admire most is naturally your attitude towards the demon affair. The Abyss Demon Clan, in fact, is also a group of pitiful beings. Alright, I won’t say much; my time is nearly up, but I’m not ready to disappear from this world just yet. This young man, I’ll take him under my wing; he will become a hero of West Continent City."

He pointed at Cong Shuai beside him.

Cong Shuai’s face was full of surprise, and Tang Ming also let out a long breath; "That’s what I think too. I believe only you, elder, can mentor him."

"I’m old now, and before I die, I want to contribute something to this city, don’t I? After all, the existence of the Demon Slayer Clan is meant to protect the Taoyuan World."

The old prophet sighed deeply and then spoke.

Because of the words spoken by the old prophet, Tang Ming and Barton Nake did not linger long. Cong Shuai, though somewhat uneasy, still chose to listen to Tang Ming’s arrangements.

Seeing Tang Ming leave the prophet’s residence in silence, Barton Nake smiled at Tang Ming and then said, "City Lord, what are you worried about?"

"Nothing. Earlier, you mentioned that the puppet has been created."

Tang Ming lifted his head and smiled at Barton Nake.

Barton Nake nodded and said, "That’s correct. It has been made; I split my soul to test it, and it works well. You can try it now."

Tang Ming nodded; "Alright, let’s take a look first. Did you call Aunt Jiuzhe?"

"Big Sister Jiuzhe went to see off Mountain Ghost Granny. Mountain Ghost Granny said the Demon Origin Mountain needs guarding, and she left some of her disciples there. However, she will regularly send people to deliver news."

Barton Nake smiled and spoke.

Tang Ming nodded. He had wanted to see off Mountain Ghost Granny personally, but Hu Jiuze said Mountain Ghost Granny didn’t like too many people seeing her off; it made her feel like she was being sent to a prison.

Therefore, Tang Ming did not arrange a send-off for Mountain Ghost Granny.

Returning to the City Lord Mansion, Barton Nake took Tang Ming to his courtyard, where in the main room, a puppet identical to Tang Ming sat.

Seeing Tang Ming, the puppet resembling Tang Ming slightly bowed and said, "How is it, City Lord? Isn’t the craftsmanship of this puppet impressive?"

"Is this your split soul? "

Tang Ming was somewhat surprised looking at Barton Nake and then asked.

Barton Nake nodded; "Yes, but it’s a temporary split soul, and now its task is complete."

A beam of light fell on the puppet, and its eyes instantly lost their sheen.

Tang Ming walked up to the puppet, and indeed, all steps were refined according to Divine Machine Refinement.

Tang Ming smiled at Barton Nake and then said, "Thank you, Master Nak."

"It’s no bother to serve the City Lord, how could it be a trouble? City Lord, are you planning to leave West Continent City after taking the puppet?"

Barton Nake saw Tang Ming using his Storage Ring to put away the puppet and then asked.

"Yes, the establishment of West Continent City relying solely on us is not enough. So, I plan to attract more people. What, does Master Nak have anyone to recommend to me?"

Tang Ming smiled at Barton Nake.

Barton Nake nodded and then handed a Jade Scroll to Tang Ming: "I think, City Lord, you might consider the Feng Family of Source Stone City."

"The Feng Family of Source Stone City, introduce them in detail."

Tang Ming was first a bit stunned and then asked.

The Feng Family was not described in detail in the Jade Scroll given to Tang Ming by Fox Bachang.

Barton Nake smiled and then said, "Alright, let me explain. The Feng Family is allied with us, the Demon Slayer Clan; this Jade Scroll is a letter I wrote to their Family Head. I believe that even if they don’t come to West Continent City, they will at least be our allies."

It turns out that Source Stone City is a major mining city, and previously, the mineral source for the Demon Slayer Clan came from Source Stone City.

Back then, the invasion of Taoyuan by the Demon Abyss Demons had two objectives; one was the food here on the West Desolate Plain.

The other was the ore in the mines of Source Stone City.

West Desolation City had many Spirit Stone Veins, where the Spirit Stones would consistently grow, just like the ones in Source Stone City.

"If Source Stone City produces minerals, it must be quite complicated over there?"

After hearing Barton Nake’s words, Tang Ming asked.

Barton Nake nodded: "Although it’s not as complex as West Desolation City in the past, it is still quite intricate, especially after Jiulong Tower announced its fall. Each city governed itself. The Source Stone Tower Master there died, as did the City Lord and the Commander of the garrison."

"Alright, let’s go see. Since you recommend the Feng Family, this family with the surname Feng must be quite strong."

Tang Ming smiled and nodded, then asked.

Barton Nake’s mouth twitched, then said, "More than strong; the Feng Family is one of the three major families in Source Stone City. The Source Stone Tower Master of Source Stone City died by the hands of their family."

Tang Ming raised his brow and then said, "I wonder, the Tower Master of Source Stone Tower, which of the nine from Jiulong Tower were they aligned with."

"It’s said to be aligned with the Tower Master of the Dark Tower, the same master as the old demon of West Desolation. However, the Tower Master Lin Hao has been investigating through some channels, and it seems the Dark Tower Master indeed has some connections with the Demon Abyss Demon. The Tower Masters of Thunder Tower and Fire Tower went personally to the Dark Tower, where they also found some customs related to the Demon Abyss Demon. In fact, they suspect that the Tower Master of the Dark Tower is a Demon Monarch."

Barton Nake looked up at Tang Ming and said.

Tang Ming’s pupils shrank, "Is this real? Why didn’t I know?"
