Wuyang City was the main city of Wuyang Town. Naturally, it was larger and more prosperous than Fengyang City. The streets were crowded with people.
This was the first time Ye Liuyun had come to a prefectural city.
He soon saw the Myriad Treasures Hall on the street. "It's really everywhere!" But he did not have anything to buy, so he did not go in.
Then he saw the nearby Beast Controlling Hall. He had always been curious about this place, so he went in and walked around.
It turned out that the Beast Controlling Hall does not only sell the feral beasts that had been tamed but also rent them.
Most of the feral beasts they rented were for transportation. Most of them were flying beasts, so it was convenient for guests to travel.
The Beast Controlling Hall had branches in all of the prefectural cities, allowing their customers to return the feral beasts in another city. However, the price was quite high. If he was to rent a flying beast to Sky Fortune Town, he would need at least two hundred middle-grade crystal stones.
This was an eye-opener for Ye Liuyun. He had not thought that there would be such a business!
No wonder Liang Xue was so surprised when she knew that he could tame beasts. If he had time to tame a beast, it would save him a lot of time and crystal stones! Why had he not thought of it before?
After that, he went to a crowded restaurant. He had heard from his aunt that the best way to get information was to go to a restaurant, where there were many people chatting.
Sure enough, there were many people in the restaurant, and there were all kinds of topics discussed. For example, who was fighting for the top official of the Zui Hong Pavillion? What big case had happened recently...
However, the most discussed topic was that there might be valuable treasures appearing in the nearby Thunderous Stream Cave. It had caused the power of thunder to wreak havoc. Many mercenaries and martial arts artists went to search for treasures, but they all died there.
"Thunder power? My Rolling Thunder Fist needs this kind of power." The more he listened, the more he wanted to go. He finally made his decision.
"Since I'm here, don't miss it. Anyway, I have enough time. I'd better go and have a look!"
So he asked the people around him about the route to the Thunderous Stream Cave and planned to go there to have a look.
As for the guard who was following him, he certainly saw it too.
Before he finished his meal, a middle-aged man came over and asked sincerely, "Brother, I saw you asking about the route to the Thunderous Stream Cave. Are you going there to search for treasures?"
Ye Liuyun glanced at him and was puzzled. "This person is undoubtedly the leader of the guard. However, isn't he at the Fourth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase? How did he become at the First Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase?"
But when he discovered a pendant on the man's neck with his Divine Sense, he immediately understood that the man had a Life Treasure that could change his realm.
The so-called Life Treasures were similar to weapons, but most of their functions were auxiliary. Of course, there were also Life Treasures for attacking, which were very rare.
Ye Liuyun remained calm. He pretended to be vigilant as he asked, "What's the matter?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I also want to go to Thunderous Stream Cave to search for treasures. But I heard that it is very dangerous there, so, I want to find someone to go with me. I saw that you are alone so I came over. If you don't mind, how about we go together tomorrow? If we are in danger, we can also take care of each other."
Ye Liuyun revealed a look of understanding and relaxed his vigilance. He immediately agreed and made an appointment with him about the time and location of their meeting.
"That's great! It's much safer to have a companion. I'll stay at Xing Yun Inn and wait for you at the inn tomorrow morning. Let's set off together."
"Okay! See you tomorrow morning!" The middle-aged man was very straightforward. After saying yes, he left directly.
Ye Liuyun was secretly delighted. "Looks like I should be able to have a good night's sleep! They probably won't make a move tonight."
After he finished his meal, he went straight back to the inn to rest.
Even though he felt safe, he still released some Divine Sense when he slept to prevent any accidents.
The night was peaceful. Ye Liuyun slept until dawn! He felt refreshed when he woke up in the morning!
"It's so comfortable!" He stretched his waist and went out to have breakfast.
Just after his meal, the middle-aged man arrived. So the two of them went out of the city together and rushed to the Thunderous Stream Cave on foot.
The Thunderous Stream was located in a dense forest fifteen kilometers away from Wuyang Town. It was not very far away.
The middle-aged man took the initiative to lead the way. Not long after entering the dense forest, Ye Liuyun seemed particularly cautious and asked him to stop from time to time.
"Sir! There seems to be something happening ahead!" Ye Liuyun said as he hid behind the middle-aged man.
But after a few times, it was just a false alarm.
"You are too cautious!" The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Hehe, this is my first time going out! It's better to be careful!" Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly and continued to follow him.
Seeing that they were about to ambush him, Ye Liuyun once again said that there was something in front and hid behind the middle-aged man.
The man did not take it seriously and wanted to sneer at him. Unexpectedly, a dagger went straight into his heart from his back, with the power of thunder.
"You..." The man slowly turned around and glared at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun twisted his hand and pulled out the dagger. He asked, "How is it? Are you familiar with this dagger?"
"How did you know?" The leader of the guards asked with all his strength. He had never imagined that such a meticulous plan would be seen through by a young child. He would never expect to lose his life.
"Tsk! You're still far from lying to me!" Ye Liuyun said as he stretched out his hand and pulled down the pendant from his neck.
The leader of the guards did not even understand how he had exposed himself until he died.
"Yes! An upper-grade Yellow Level Life Treasure. It is worth some money!"
Then, he took down the middle-aged man's Interspatial Ring. When he checked it, he found more than a hundred thousand lowest grade crystal stones inside.
"It seems that their activities funds are all on this leader. The others don't have any money on them at all."
Ye Liuyun kept his Interspatial Ring and ignored the corpse as he continued to walk forward. Without the threat of this guard at the Fourth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase, the others were just for him to train.
In less than an hour, with the help of the black python, all the guards died under his blade.
The reason why he used a blade was that he wanted to save his energy to explore the Thunderous Stream Cave.
Otherwise, he really wanted to practice his Sky Cutting Finger. However, it was not the right time to practice the Sky Cutting Finger as it would consume too much True Qi.
"Eh? Is there someone else following me?"
Ye Liuyun had not gone far when he noticed that there was someone else following him, but he did not know who it was.
Ye Liuyun frowned. "This person's realm is clearly much higher than mine! However, he has not taken any action yet. He should not be an enemy. Otherwise, I would have died a long time ago!"
Thinking of this, he ignored the follower and continued to go deeper into the Thunderous Stream Cave.
Lu Wei was also depressed. If he continued to follow, he would be discovered by him sooner or later! What a freak! How could his Divine Sense be so strong!
Ye Liuyun walked deeper into the dense forest for another hour or so when he heard the rumbling of thunder and hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound.
From a distance, he could see that in a mountain stream, there was lightning and thunder, and dark clouds were hovering over the whole place. Even the whole dense forest was pitch-black.
However, this was not a problem for his Phantom Eyes at all. On the contrary, he sped up and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the spy behind him.
He walked towards the mountain stream, the place with the most thunder.
As the lightning became more and more concentrated, his situation became more and more dangerous.
