Chapter 295: First Manifestation of Anomaly

“Hup!”

“Hup”

“Brother Yuan, do you really want to send people to the front line?”

“Otherwise? Haven’t you seen the fate of the six families, brother? Unless you don’t want to live.”

“Alas, I’d rather keep this old life!”

“But this snow is strange, it has been snowing for two days straight. When I was Cultivating, I felt that the Qi of this world seemed to have increased. I wonder if it’s related to this. It’s a strange thing. Moreover, there have been undercurrents in Jin’guan City recently, which is clearly unusual. Brother Yuan seems to know something, would it be convenient to tell me?”

“This General also doesn’t know. Farewell!”

“...”

At this moment, at the foot of Yunding Mountain, exotic horses and strange beasts, pulling carriages, stirred up rolling snow dust as they departed.

The various Heavenly Gates, after leaving the Xuntian Great Hall, embarked on their return journey.

Acquaintances secretly transmitted messages.

This was one such conversation.

The brief conversation revealed the ‘helplessness’ of some people, as well as the fact that various families had already noticed the changes in this world.

On Yunding Mountain, in the Xuntian Great Hall, Chen Yuan stood in front of the hall, with his hands behind his back, the wind and snow parting around him.

His vertical eye between his brows opened, and scenes from below the mountain flowed through it, watching the various Heavenly Gates leave the Yunding Mountain area.

“Four Cities Garrison!”

He spoke at this moment.

Immediately, four burly figures, enveloped in wind and snow, holding up large seals, shot over from all directions, crashing down onto the steps in front of the hall with a bang.

“This General is here!”

“Send secret agents to keep an eye on these families. It’s best if no one acts foolishly.” Chen Yuan instructed, expressionless.

Presumably, these people wouldn’t dare, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. After all, in today’s Jin’guan City, no one knows what kind of fellows are still lurking.

People from the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, Human Devils from the Place of becoming a Saint.

“Additionally, open the city gates. The snow is too heavy, don’t block people outside the city, many will die.”

“But This General, there are still many remnants of the six families hiding in the city. This General is worried that these people will escape, which might cause future trouble.”

“We cannot delay others because of these people. As for future trouble? Hmph!” Chen Yuan scoffed lightly, then said:

“This General bestows upon you four a ray of Dharma Eye True Light. If you encounter any suspicious individuals, you can use this True Light to circulate through your eyes. Although it only has one-tenth of its power, it should be enough!”

As he spoke, Chen Yuan’s vertical eye between his brows glowed golden, and with a whoosh, four continuous golden rays, as thick as fingers, shot into the foreheads of the four Garrisons.

The four men did not resist, instinctively closing their eyes, then felt a burning and swelling sensation in their eyes, and couldn’t help but shed turbid tears.

After five or six breaths, the four Garrisons finally felt the stinging, hot swelling recede from their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, a very faint golden light flashed in their pupils.

The four men clearly felt the difference in their eyes. Even without activating the golden light in their pupils, they felt their pupils were much clearer. When they focused and looked closely, they could see the subtle details, and this dazzling white world also became colorful.

In just a few breaths, their eyes seemed to have undergone some kind of change.

As Heavenly Gates, they knew that eye Divine Ability was one of the most difficult Divine Abilities to Cultivate. Once mastered, it often possessed incredible Divine Abilities.

They never expected that just a ray of True Intent from This General’s Divine Ability would cause such a significant change in such a short time.

A hint of surprise appeared on the faces of the four men. They lowered their heads and knelt on one knee.

“Thank you, This General, for bestowing the Divine Light!”

“No need for formalities, This General still has an important matter to explain.” As he spoke, Chen Yuan took out a portrait, which was of the unknown martial artist hiding behind the Five Treasures Mountain blood case. “The facial features of the person in this portrait are currently unclear. This General can only reproduce a few points. Just remember this black jade hairpin. If there are suspicious individuals, do not act rashly. Report to This General in advance. Moreover, when you inspect the city gate exits, if there are any suspicious individuals that cannot be seen through with the Dharma Eye Divine Light, do not disturb them. Try to ascertain their location, and then come tell me. Do you understand?”

“This General understands.”

“Go!”

“Yes!”

The Four Cities Garrison This General immediately stood up, retreated a few steps, then with a whoosh, soared into the air, quickly disappearing into the vast wind and snow.

After Chen Yuan finished all this, he looked up at the flying snow and called over two Councilors,

“Gao Yu, General Fan Chou.”

Gao Yu and General Fan Chou were both behind him at this time. Hearing his voice, they bowed and listened to his command,

“This General is here!”

“You should have also sensed it. The snow has been falling for two days, and the Qi filling the world is much denser than usual. Luck is returning, and the world is recovering. Issue an order that if any places or things are found to have undergone unusual changes, they must be reported. Those who know but do not report will be severely punished. Those who make discoveries will be heavily rewarded. Also, order the Fu Cities below to closely monitor this matter.”

“These Zhonglang Generals may not listen to This General as much, but they are all colleagues, so it’s not good to say too much. For the rest, you two can act as circumstances dictate.”

The two Councilors understood the meaning of Chen Yuan’s words, which was to arrange for others to also pay attention to these matters, in addition to the Local General of the Guard.

“This General understands!”

“There’s one more thing that cannot be forgotten. This snow doesn’t seem like it will stop anytime soon, and the temperature has dropped sharply. The city will definitely be affected by the disaster. You two notify the city yamen to do a good job of disaster relief. After all, Jin’guan City doesn’t only have people who live in luxury, but also many common people with thin clothes.”

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he turned around, and with a flick of his hand, several small white jade bottles flew to the two Councilors.

“You two have been busy with This General these past few days without any complaints. These are a few bottles of Heavenly Gate Devil essence blood. Your Cultivation is still low. Now, the world is about to change, so you need to quickly improve your strength.”

Gao Yu and General Fan Chou were stunned.

It turned out that This General had been thinking of them. They felt some gratitude in their hearts and bowed in thanks:

“Thank you, This General, for your great kindness!”

“Go.”

“Yes!” Gao Yu and the other man flicked their sleeves, put away the jade bottles, and then withdrew.

After the few people left, Chen Yuan looked at his three confidants, “Follow me back to Ninth Mountain!”

As he spoke, his feet blurred, and his body disappeared.

Liu Qing, Cloud Skyborn, and Lu Ming saw this and moved their feet together, following him.

Not long after, in the Zhonglang Hall of Ninth Mountain, it was filled with countless large boxes, numbering over a hundred. These were all silver and treasures confiscated from the six families, worth a considerable amount.

Moreover, this was only a very small part of it. The treasures and money accumulated by the six families over several centuries were astonishingly numerous.

Chen Yuan sat at the head, instructing Liu Qing and the other two,

“This is a portion of the treasures confiscated from the six families. The three of you can divide them up.”

“The newly recruited soldiers of Ninth Mountain participated in the battle, and many died. Provide pensions and rewards according to the previous arrangements.”

“Additionally, issue This General’s order: all soldiers on leave are to return to the mountain.”

“My Ninth Mountain must prepare!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing and the other two’s expressions immediately became solemn.

“Yes!”
