Free Web NovelChapter 1399: Chapter 881: Spirit Cage
Since the end of the Fushou Manor ghost script, Yang Xiao and Jiang Qingluan have not seen each other and have had no contact.
The other party suddenly seeks him out, and it’s urgent, clearly something unexpected has happened. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Yang Xiao can almost conclude that it must be related to the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
What he can’t figure out is why Jiang Qingluan is involved and not Tong Han, Sui Chengguo, Yang Cha, who have a closer relationship with him.
It’s important to note that during the Fushou Manor ghost script, the Nine-Story Demon Tower did not appear, at least Yang Xiao didn’t see it, Jiang Qingluan has no reason to get involved.
"Little Yang, what do you want to do? Should I step in to decline them, or..." Nalan Shuo gave the choice to Yang Xiao.
"Director, I want to contact the Yi Sect directly, and Jiang Qingluan personally." The two had gotten along well in the Nightmare World, and most importantly, Yang Xiao hoped to get the next prophecy from Jiang Qingluan, similar to what Su Tingting provided him.
Yang Xiao already foresaw that he will be killed by the Sect Master, but the prediction is too broad, Yang Xiao wants to know the exact time and place.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Shuo’s tone slightly changed, "The Provincial Office originally hoped you two would connect via phone, but it seems the Yi Sect encountered trouble, and they are eager for your personal visit, offering any conditions you want."
At this moment, Yang Xiao immediately realized the seriousness of the issue, further confirming his suspicion that it’s not the Yi Sect in trouble, but Jiang Qingluan in trouble.
"Director, I have no problem here. What’s the attitude of the Provincial Office on this matter?" After all, Yang Xiao is part of the Patrol Defense Office, and is about to be promoted to the Jiangbei Province Office; he needs to be aware of the upper management’s attitude.
"If you don’t mind, the Provincial Office hopes you can make this trip. The Yi Sect is not an ordinary force; forming a positive relationship would benefit both sides," Nalan Shuo said.
"Then there’s no problem. I’ll prepare, when do I depart?" Yang Xiao asked.
"A car is already on its way to pick you up, directly taking you to the airport, the plane is ready, departing in an hour, flying directly to Canglan Province, Luoshui City, the headquarters of the Yi Sect. Once there, the local Patrol Defense Office will arrange your contact with Yi Sect people."
"Remember, once there, speak cautiously, observe more, talk less, prioritize your own safety, and don’t act recklessly."
"It’s the Yi Sect’s territory there, their influence locally surpasses even the three major forces, and in many aspects, we have to make concessions." Nalan Shuo reminded.
"Is the Yi Sect that powerful?" Yang Xiao was somewhat surprised; previously, Yang Xiao knew little about the Yi Sect, as their scope was not within Yang Xiao’s Jiangbei Province area, and there was no interest conflict between them.
"The overall strength of the Yi Sect is not inferior to old established forces like the Ru Lin Academy, with many top experts in the sect, ranking high within domestic big forces." Nalan Shuo briefly introduced.
Comparing this, Yang Xiao understood roughly; when he went to the Ru Lin Academy for a secret match, in Yun Qi City, the Ru Lin Yang Family had significant influence, to the extent that even the local Patrol Defense Office had to play nice, seeing their cars had to let them pass.
"Even if you can’t help them, don’t offend them; but there’s no need to be servile either, after all, you are from the Patrol Defense Office, in any case, they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly, you can be assured of your safety." Nalan Shuo reassured Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao was not worried about safety, without any unnecessary talk, hung up the phone and immediately packed his things, a car was already waiting outside.
Before leaving, Yang Xiao instructed Brother Sui; since he didn’t know how long he’d be gone, he wanted Brother Sui to first return to Xiang Ma Town, as he wasn’t completely assured without a reliable Ghost Level expert at Tong Han.
Boarded the car from the Patrol Defense Office, Yang Xiao sped all the way to the airport.
With a special guide, Yang Xiao entered through the fast lane, where a private small plane is already waiting on the tarmac, and as Yang Xiao boarded, the plane quickly took off.
This trip wasn’t close; the plane crossed over a significant portion of the country, with Jiangbei Province located inland, and Canglan Province being a coastal province, separated by several provinces.
By midday, the plane landed smoothly, among those welcoming him were members from the local Patrol Defense Office, the rest being people from the Yi Sect.
A middle-aged man dressed in a black Patrol Defense Office uniform with a smiling face stood at the front, "Director Yang, I am Hong Qiang, current Deputy Director of Luoshui City Office, it’s been a long journey. Let me introduce you to Elder Rong Shuo of the Yi Sect."
Elder Rong Shuo stood to Hong Qiang’s right, a well-dressed elderly woman, recognized as the foremost among the Yi Sect’s members present.
Upon seeing Yang Xiao, Elder Rong Shuo was extremely warm and welcoming, extended both hands to shake Yang Xiao’s hand, "Director Yang, a pleasure to meet you, thank you for coming such a long way, we are truly sorry to trouble you."
Then a Yi Sect disciple standing behind immediately stepped forward, presenting a silver briefcase with both hands.
From looking at the case, Yang Xiao immediately knew what was inside.
It was the Resentful Eye.
Despite receiving a gift, Yang Xiao showed no joy, as he clearly understood the more enthusiastic the other side, the more significant Jiang Qingluan’s trouble is; he now suspects Jiang Qingluan is on the brink of life and death.
"No merit, no reward. I’m friends with your Miss Jiang Qingluan; I want to see her first." Yang Xiao stated straightforwardly, as that was the reason for his visit.
