RETURN OF THE RULER

87. Huang Qin's

After flying for half an hour without stopping, Yang Xuan along with Dou Sheng and Quentin finally saw a city, when their distance was about five miles away Yang Xuan decided to descend on a field.

"Hopefully this city always welcomes its guests kindly," Inner Yang Xuan as he was unwilling to make a fuss first.

In just a few minutes they had already arrived at the city gate, Yang Xuan saw a sizable signboard above the gate that read Cheng Hai city.

He then put on his trademark smile, then watched Dou Sheng and Quentin, then they hurriedly followed Yang's people in line to enter the city, with a fairly strict inspection.

"Twenty gold coins... ! A guard asked for an entrance fee, to the people who were waiting in line to enter the Cheng Hai city.

"Aahh... I only have twelve coins, can you please give me a waiver...? I'll pay for it later after meeting my brother." a middle-aged man spoke to the gatekeeper.

"Sorry... ! this was already the rule that the crown prince had set in this city." the guard replied in a stern tone.

"Aahh.. please.I will definitely pay the rest, if I have met my brother." the middle-aged man again pleaded with the guards.

"Hey don't block the queue....! if you don't have a gold coin, you better get out of the way." a young man who had the aura of death said in a stern and haughty tone.

"Aahh ... sorry... sorry...! I had to go inside because I had to visit my brother." the middle-aged man still said in a clear tone.

"If you don't have gold coins you shouldn't have to visit this city." shouted the others while sneering.

"Go away ....! if you don't get out of the way soon, I'll beat you up, even an old man like you doesn't have a gold coin. Basic slacker." the young man who had the aura of death pushed the middle-aged man to a fall.

"Sial why the entrance fee to this city is so expensive...? even three months ago it was still five gold coins." the middle-aged man grumbled.

Yang Xuan who was at the very back of the queue clearly knew what was happening in front of the gate, he just kept quiet while studying the situation calmly.

"Does uncle know the elder." asked Yang Xuan, as he could see from Dou Sheng's gaze to the elder.

"True young master, that's how our group works, and gathers information, and the elder pretends not to have gold coins in order to be considered like commoners, he said, we do that because our group has no strength." Dou Sheng replied.

"Alright uncle I understand." Yang Xuan replied briefly.

Before Yang Xuan's turn arrived, the city gatekeepers were whispering to each other like they wanted to plan something out, and they stared at Yang Xuan's entourage with sharp gazes.

Before the guards asked Yang Xuan directly threw a leather pouch containing two hundred gold coins,

"If you still want to live you should just shut up, and also let the elder in" Yang Xuan said as he let out a spiritual aura,

"Aahh.. yes sir....! please go inside." the guards said in a panicked tone and the body trembled violently and immediately took the money given by Yang Xuan.

"Uncle call the elder, we'll stay the night." Yang Xuan said briefly.

Yang Xuan's entourage leisurely walked into Cheng Hai city without any more guards daring to harass him, as they sensed his oppressive aura.

"Thank you for your help, young man." the elder drew closer to Yang Xuan, and continued to follow him from behind.

Yang Xuan continued to walk without caring about it, he only focused on studying the situation within the city, He also felt a fairly dense aura of death within the city, as well, and he also felt the aura was in various places, not long after that he turned towards the elder while staring intently.

"Why is uncle so desperate to do such a thing...?" yang Xuan asked as he watched the middle-aged man from top to bottom.

"Young master, my name is Huang Qin, I am the uncle of Quentin, and also a group with the chairman Dou Sheng, in fact I visited this city carrying gold coins, but on the way, when I was traveling, I was robbed by a group of mountain tigers." the elder introduced himself and explained with a sad look.

"Would your words be trusted uncle." Asked Yang Xuan full of probing.

Yang Xuan already knew from Dou Sheng that elder Huang Qin was one of the disciples when they were still in the red pearl sect.

"Does a man like me have the face of a young master's braggart." asked Huang Qin as he frowned.

Although the young man before him was like a kingpin, Dou Sheng had already explained about Yang Xuan to him.

"Of course, young master, who would not be given gold coins." replied Huang Qin as he raised his eyebrows next to his, even Dou Sheng held back a laugh hearing Yang Xuan's words.

"I have a duty for uncle, if uncle succeeds until tomorrow morning, I will give you a hundred thousand gold coins, and all my lodging and food expenses will pay for it... How is...? Is uncle ready to do it." Yang Xuan said, He wanted to see to what extent the group's prowess was.

"Very ready young master." replied Huang Qin as he smiled.

"Young master, that's not fair, why should elder Huang...?

Does my job not exist...?" said elder Dou Sheng did not accept, because after all he thought he had known Yang Xuan first.

"Well if that's your request.Your job is simple, just collect information, if you have an acquaintance or team invite them to join." yang Xuan said as he thought about the mission of the elders he had just met.

"First, find out where the crown prince Hong Zhun is. Second, find out about the whereabouts of the Kai family. Third, find out about the whereabouts of elder Xun, a flame royal patron elder who sided with the crown prince. Fourth, find out about the black flow that controls this city. Fifth, find out where the fire machete sect and the red jade sect are located." while throwing two storage rings.

"Alright young master." the two elders replied as they inspected the storage ring that Yang Xuan gave them.

"Remember...! one million gold coins for every one of you if you manage to gather information as I expected, and the lack of it after the mission is completed." Yang Xuan said with a smile.

"Your young master, how long will the young master give us...?" dau Sheng asked with a big smile, because the mission given to him was not a high-level mission in his opinion,

"For at most a month. which is obvious I should also study the situation in this kingdom along with the water kingdom, I will also rent lodging for you guys." yang Xuan's reply for seeking information was not an easy matter according to him.

"Okay, our young master will be working from tomorrow after the young master leaves the city" the two said.

"Now it's your job to find lodging and order wine and food and room rental for the three of you, I'll find something and we'll meet tomorrow morning." While throwing the storage ring.

"Young master, if we may know what this stone is for." Dau Sheng asked because he was very curious about the stone.

"Aahh .. I forgot... ! The stone is to send a message.flow the Qi energy element into the stone when you will send or receive a message, and say what you want to convey, say, and also think about who the message is that you want to convey.

"Haha! thank you young master, this stone is very useful for us as an information gathering group" elder Dou Sheng said so happily.

"Now go, I will go around first studying this city." Yang Xuan said as he stepped away.

"Chairman Dou sheng turns out this stone is the legendary stone, I think the story of the ancestors is just a mere joke," Huang Qin said with a happy laugh because he got a gift so valuable according to the two of them.

"Right is what you said elder Huang. This will make it easier for us to find information and make our work easier." replied Dou sheng with a smile.

Unlike Quentin, he stared back and forth with a blank stare and thought of nothing but his mother and brother, not even caring about what happened ..... he simply stepped his foot where elder Dou Sheng had gone.

They immediately looked for lodging to book a room, as they knew all the inns would be fully filled, since the past few months if nightfall arrived, all the cities in the fire kingdom would be filled to the brim, as well, because it avoids the group of mountain tigers at night.

Yang Xuan continued to look around, and continued to study the situation within the city, the atmosphere of Cheng Hai city was extremely crowded ranging from commoners to high-level cultivators. the low and high level cultivators passed by, their cultivation was mostly grand master level, king level, emperor level and was partly at the legend level as well as the earth level. and also many of them have a death aura that is so dense.

"This group of royal crown princes is really very strong, I'm sure in the next few years they will definitely rule this kingdom with the water kingdom." sat and continued to pay attention here and there and also pay attention to the buildings that are there.

Not long after Yang Xuan arrived at the city lord's residence, he could see dozens of guards gathered around the gate.and even their weapons were already inside each other's waists and complete with scabbards.

"Hey the bad boy... What are you doing here... go...?" Snapped one of the gatekeepers while shaking his hand.

Yang Xuan paid no heed to the gatekeeper's clash and he continued to walk his feet leisurely regardless of the gazes of the dozens of guards.

" suckers...! Are you tired of living...?" the gatekeepers shouted while pulling their respective weapons from their scabbards and directly attacked.

Yang Xuan simply flicked his hands, making those gatekeepers, fall asleep faster than usual time, as their cultivation was at the highest of the master stage.

Yang Xuan continued to step on his feet as he was about to enter the city lord's residence, suddenly several shadows flashed towards him..

"Dhuar...???
