Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money - Chapter 261

261 The Little Tail

Seeing Ye Xuan’s confident expression, Yi Chengrui had an inexplicable trust in Ye Xuan, even if he didn’t know what he was going to do.

“Elder Ye, I believe that you have the ability and means to solve these problems. If you need me to do anything, just say it.”

Yi Chengrui had a premonition that perhaps this time, Ye Xuan would be able to completely resolve the hidden danger in Changping, and even prevent the people of Jingdu from casually interfering.

“Actually, what I want you to do is very simple. You just have to accompany me in acting.”

Because there were guards outside the meeting hall and a barrier was set up, the people following Ye Xuan from Jingdu couldn’t hear the conversation. They wanted to get closer, but they were afraid of alerting them.

!!
“Previously, the news said that the City Lord of Changping had a close relationship with Ye Xuan. Now it seems that it is true. I just don’t know if these two are plotting anything.”

“The sect master sent us to keep an eye on Ye Xuan to prevent him from having any other thoughts and actions. We must be on guard.”

Fortunately, Ye Xuan and Yi Chengrui didn’t stay for long. After the two discussed, Ye Xuan got up and left, ready to go to the demonic beasts.

When they learned that Ye Xuan was planning to go alone without bringing anyone, everyone was shocked. Yi Chengrui was the first to step forward to stop him.

“Elder Ye, you are not the same as before. Because of the interference from Jingdu, our relationship with the beasts has worsened. It is very dangerous if you go alone.”

Last time, Ye Xuan had Shen Changling by his side. Now, he was alone. If something really happened, there would be no one to take care of him.

The others also felt that Yi Chengrui’s words made sense and nodded one after another. “The City Lord is right. This is really too dangerous.”

The demonic beasts had been friendly to Ye Xuan before, but in this situation, anyone would be hostile. After all, from another perspective, they were the ones who tore up the treaty first and even plotted actions against the flood dragon.

Although Changping’s thinking was different from Jingdu’s, an arm couldn’t win against a thigh. In the eyes of the demonic beasts, all of them were in the same boat and there was no difference.

If they met again, they would probably launch an attack without hesitation, so after this incident, Yi Chengrui ordered that no one was allowed to leave the city.

No one dared to disobey the order, and for the sake of their own lives, they had not left the city until now.

“Elder Ye, why don’t you bring a few people with you?”

Yi Chengrui suddenly suggested, his eyes looking at the crowd. “There were a few survivors from Jingdu. They might be of some help to you on the way.”

When the survivors heard this, they didn’t expect to be mentioned at all. They were almost scared out of their wits.

It wasn’t easy for them to escape from that damned place, so how could they possibly go back? Some of them immediately put on an extremely weak expression and said in extreme distress, “We want to help too, but we are seriously injured. I’m afraid that we will drag Elder Ye down if we follow him. At that time, it will be a waste of effort. It’s better for us not to go and be burdens.”

These words were grand, but who didn’t know that they were actually afraid of death?

Yi Chengrui disdained this in his heart. These people were insatiable and extremely greedy. They wanted both the spiritual mine and the flood dragon, but in the end, they act like cowards in the face of danger.

He didn’t show it on his face. “In that case, who should we send?”

“There’s really no need. I have my own way. You don’t have to worry about me. To put it bluntly, if I’m really in danger, it doesn’t matter how many people I bring. At most, I’ll just have a few more people to die with me.”

Ye Xuan’s original intention was just to scare that group of people. If he really brought them along, it would hinder his own actions instead.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s firm attitude, the others couldn’t say anything more.

“Since Elder Ye has said so, then we can only listen to you.”

The crowd sent Ye Xuan to the city gate, and only when they saw his figure disappear into the forest of monsters did they withdraw their gazes.

No one noticed that not long after Ye Xuan entered the forest of monsters, several more dark shadows followed him in. These were the people sent by Jingdu.

It was sunny outside, but it was dark inside the forest. The towering trees blocked all the sunlight, and only occasionally, there would be some light. It was as if they had stepped into a different dimension, a completely different world from the outside.

At the same time, a cold aura hit them in the face, giving them goosebumps. The smell of rotten leaves filled the air. These people couldn’t help frowning. They looked around, but Ye Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

“That’s strange. I clearly saw him walking in this direction just now. It’s only been a short while, how come I don’t see him?”

“Don’t tell me there’s some kind of array here that made us lose track of him?”

“Everyone, be careful. There’s something strange about this forest. It’s said that the grand elder and the others had mysteriously disappeared here.”

There was clearly no dangerous aura, but these people became a little nervous. It was quiet all around. There were no humans or demonic beasts. It was unbelievably quiet.

They walked forward carefully, only to hear the sound of their feet stepping on fallen leaves.

“Where did this Ye Xuan go? The tracing butterflies we put on him didn’t work.”

A butterfly was flying in the air, its colorful wings becoming dull in the dark environment. It fluttered to the East and then to the South. It had clearly lost its way.

It suddenly stopped in mid-air and upon closer inspection, it turned out that a pair of slender hands had caught it. Phosphorus powder fell down with a rustling sound, and at the same time, a low and hoarse male voice sounded.

“Who are you guys looking for?”

The few of them raised their heads and were met with a pair of golden beast eyes. An unparalleled pressure hit them in the face like a wave. Their vision turned black and they immediately lost consciousness.
