Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 585 Old Friends (Part Two)

"Easy to say."

These were common knowledge. After receiving the silver, the waiter quickly gave a brief account of the basic information about the three major gangs in Jingming Town: Yingyang, Xuanwu, and Hehua, as well as Han Yi.

"It seems that this is the first time you two gentlemen have come to Jingming Town to do business. But please rest assured, we have Inspector Han in charge of everything. He is very particular about fairness and justice, and has even set up a fair scale in the market."

"Any matter involving shortchanging, extortion, or other illegal activities can be reported to the guards, and someone will handle it immediately."

Before leaving, the waiter offered words of comfort as he entered.

"It seems Junior Brother Han has changed quite a bit..." Li Feng sighed after the waiter left. "Whether it's really him or not is still uncertain!" Pan Sheng frowned and said, "The more I listen, the less it seems like him."

"Seeing is believing, whether it is true or not."

"Right."

The two of them drank less than half of a large pot of tea before getting up and leaving.

Based on the information provided by the waiter, the two walked straight down the street toward the innermost part of the town.

As you walk through the streets, the number of pedestrians and passersby quickly decreases, and the shops become increasingly sparse, while various official residences and high-end residential complexes gradually increase.

Occasionally, one could see some government-managed buildings, sparsely populated and seemingly lacking in power. The pedestrians on the road hurried along, and the few who occasionally appeared were not ordinary people, but rather skilled in martial arts.

Every now and then, powerful martial artists would flash across the rooftops, as if conveying a message. Gradually, more carriages appeared, becoming increasingly formal, bearing uniform symbols and markings, seemingly reserved for important figures.

After walking for a while, the two stopped.

In front of it is a tall white archway guarded by soldiers, and inside is a large core building complex.

The headquarters of each branch, the residence of the branch leader, and the inspector's office are all located here.

The two stood at the entrance of the archway, peering inside, pretending to be country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

The guards, who had originally come to drive them away, saw the two of them dressed in tattered, unfashionable clothes, carrying loads of vegetables covered in mud on their shoulders, and didn't bother to bother.

He's probably a country bumpkin who just arrived in the city and is wandering around scouting. They encounter a lot of people like him every year, so they're used to it.

"Looks like this is the only way. Old Li, do you have any ideas?"

"There is a way, but it can only be done at night. At that time, we will need your little black dog to help out."

"Okay." Pan Sheng nodded. "But without Xiao Hei keeping watch outside, what if something unexpected happens..."

“Now is not the time to hesitate. If we can confirm Han Yi’s identity and he is willing to accept us, perhaps we can find a way out,” Li Feng said decisively.

Fang Jiulian has now deployed soldiers to patrol all roads near Huayang City.

To evade the search, they had no choice but to hide deep in the mountains and forests.

However, there are too many monsters and beasts in the wilderness. Even if the two of them have the Green Robe Alliance's legacy, if their strength is insufficient, they are very likely to encounter accidents.

Han Yi is now their only hope of finding an opportunity.

After pretending to observe for a while, the two quickly turned and walked away, their suspicion growing under the guard's increasingly suspicious gaze.

……………

Qiyun Mountain, the Inspector's Office.

Hahahaha!!!!

Suddenly, a burst of unrestrained and cheerful laughter echoed through the large reception room.

"You want me to marry into your family? You mean you want me to marry into your family?" He laughed so hard he almost fell over, completely losing his usual elegant and refined demeanor as a young master from a wealthy family.

"I said, is it really that funny?" Han Yi said helplessly. "You've been laughing for so long. Be careful you don't laugh until your stomach hurts."

"Sorry. It's not that I wanted to laugh." He became serious, his tone apologetic. "It's just that the thought of you marrying into the family, not having time to go out for drinks, having to report to your parents if you want to go out, and having children who don't even bear your surname makes me unable to help myself."

Another burst of unrestrained laughter followed, even more excessive than before. "So, I didn't agree," Han Yi couldn't help but say.

"Agree, why wouldn't I agree? That's the future leader of the Nine Curves Sect..." He winked and made a face. "With the Nine Curves Sect's entire supply, wouldn't that be much better than what you're doing now?"

"Did you come here today or not? If not, get out of here!" Han Yi finally couldn't hold back and blurted out a curse.

"No, no, no," he quickly apologized. "I saw some good people at your martial arts school before, can I borrow them for a while?"

"Borrow someone?" Han Yi asked suspiciously. "The eldest young master of the Hu family, would he be short of people around him?"

"Don't even mention it, it's all Fang Jiulian's fault, insisting on reforms and restructuring..." Upon hearing Han Yi's question, ** complained repeatedly, "Now everyone in my Hu family is running around like crazy, constantly revolving around Fang Jiulian, we simply can't spare any manpower."

Han Yi immediately understood and asked cryptically, "Is it about that matter?"

He had heard about this before; it seemed that Fang Jiulian had formulated a series of new policies to restrict the major martial arts sects, limit their industries, and bring them under the control of the government army.

"I don't know. It's quite mysterious; only my father and the others probably know the specifics." He shook his head. "But even if a new policy is introduced, it will only affect the martial arts sects within the city. Your Nine-Bend Sect is located in a remote area; no matter how powerful Fang Jiulian is, can they really control you?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry..." Han Yi sighed.

The Nine Turns Sect is now considered one of the more prominent martial arts sects. Given Fang Jiulian's current power, if there are any restrictions imposed, they will have no choice but to comply.

Therefore, he has been paying attention to this matter recently.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Is Shadow Hall available for your men?" he asked again.

“I’ve been relatively free lately, so I have some free time,” Han Yi said, puzzled. “But what do you need them for?” He had previously partnered with Meng Ren to open a martial arts school, and unexpectedly, they had reaped great rewards, discovering dozens of promising talents.

Under the careful guidance of Meng Ren and Han Yi, this group of people quickly distinguished themselves and demonstrated remarkable strength.

Following Qu Qiao, one of Han Yi's subordinates, they spent several months training in the Black Miasma Mountains, reaping rich rewards and emerging unscathed.

Han Yi hoped they could continue to develop in this way and eventually grow into a secret force in his hands, so he named it Shadow Hall.

He sighed and said, "Don't talk about it anymore, it's still about the Mingyu Sect."

"Still not resolved?" Han Yi asked in surprise. "Do you need my help?"

He originally thought that ** was in the mood to come here and had already taken care of her own affairs.

It seems there are still some problems.

"No need, they're just small fry. The family can't spare any more men, so we need a few to help." He refused, "If I can't handle it, how can you?"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Han Yi smiled.
