Chapter 98: City Lord Yi Yong, Failed Tracking



Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Among the large families in Fan City, big incidents had been happening to the Li family recently. The Pavilion in their backyard suddenly collapsed a few days after the fire.


Not long after, this news spread throughout Fan City. In an instant, the city was in a heated discussion. Many people ran to the back door of the Li Residence to watch the fun. However, the Li Residence closed the gate by using the excuse of repairing the backyard. No one could see what was going on.


This news might be able to deceive the ordinary citizens of Fan City, but it couldn’t deceive the City Lord Residence.


In another residence in the center of Fan City, City Lord Yi Yong leaned back in his chair with a livid expression as he listened to his subordinate’s report.


“That thief used some kind of method to infiltrate the Li Residence’s backyard. There was no movement at all half a day after he entered the Pavilion. I thought that he had died inside, but later on, the Li family sent people with many advanced beasts that are close to Level 100,000 to surround the


Pavilion.


“After that, the Spirit Stone palace in the Pavilion suddenly shattered. Judging from the aura, it seemed that the one who shattered it was an advanced water-type mutated beast. Then, something flew towards the east at high speed and the thief disappeared. I brought my men and chased after them, but


we couldn’t catch up.


“Li Min seems to want to hide the truth about the Pavilion being robbed. Do we need to go to the Li Residence to investigate this?”


After hearing the report, Yi Yong’s expression became even worse.


Over the past few centuries, there had been a legend in Fan City that an earth-shattering secret treasure was hidden in the Li family’s Pavilion. Some said that it was a top-notch cultivation art, some said that it was a treasure from a foreign realm, and some said that it was an array to create Divine


Beasts.


This legend originated from the pioneering period of the Primitive World. At that time, the ancestor of the Li family accidentally entered a foreign realm and was lucky enough to have come back alive. Many people said that he got a treasure from the foreign realm.


The so-called foreign realms were also a part of the Primitive World. However, at some point in time, many places with rich Spiritual Energy had been separated from the Primitive World and hidden in the cracks of the universe. It was difficult for humans to enter and exit, and many resources and


mutated beasts were also gone because of that.


These places were called the foreign realms.


The Li family’s ancestor was lucky enough to enter the foreign realm. How could he not find a treasure? No one would believe that.


At that time, everyone had to take out all the treasures they found to build Fan City. So, they searched his body, but they didn’t find anything.


After that, the Li family didn’t show any outstanding performance in the past hundred years. Many people treated the legends as rumors, but the Yi family in the City Lord Residence didn’t give up. Finally, in recent years, they used the special ability of a mutated beast to discover the Li family’s biggest


secret, the underground palace under the Pavillion.


This made Yi Yong even more certain that the Li Residence had a treasure, but they didn’t have the ability to use it.


However, the hidden talents and resources in the City Lord Residence far exceeded that of the Li family. Yi Yong believed that he had the ability to control the treasure. He wanted to get it and then increase his strength to get out of the remote Fan City.


That was why he spent ten years buying a Mystic Realm treasure in the White River County where Fan City was, the tinder of the Great Sun True Fire of the Divine Beast, the Immortal Phoenix. It could create a fire and destroy the thick entrance of the Pavilion.


However, this plan failed. The entrance to the underground palace was intact.


Just as Yi Yong was planning the next “accident,” an unknown thief stole the treasure in the underground palace first. How could he not feel enraged!?


“Of course, the Li family has to be investigated. Keep a close eye on them and find a chance to enter the underground palace to see what else is inside.” He gritted his teeth and said, “Send more people to the east to chase after the thief. Remember to ask Gao Ming to lead the team to search for the advanced


water-type mutated beast that destroyed the Spirit Stone palace you mentioned!”


Gao Ming was the person he recruited this year. He had a strange water-type mutated beast. It had almost no attack power, but had extremely strong sensitivity. It was extremely sensitive to water-type mutated beasts and treasures.


Yi Yong had used Gao Ming’s mutated beast to discover the secret of the Li Residence’s underground palace.


In order to track the thief, Gao Ming’s mutated beast was essential.


However, at this moment, the subordinates looked at Yi Yong hesitantly.


“City Lord… Captain Gao was robbed by the thief last night and his house was almost emptied!”


“Yeah, the thing Captain Gao usually holds in his hand that’s said to belong to his mutated beast has also been stolen. Now, he’s leading his men to search the city.”


Yi Yong froze in an instant.


“He even lost his own mutated beast?” He asked in shock.


“Captain Gao said that he suddenly couldn’t sense his mutated beast after he woke up. I’m not sure about anything else.” One of his subordinates answered. The others nodded as well.


Yi Yong was so furious that his vision turned dark.


“Then hurry up and find it!”


On this long night, Fan City was destined to be in chaos.


On the second day after modifying the Spirit Gathering Array, Ye Chen, who was unaware of everything that happened in Fan City, started to lead the mutated beasts that had rested to cultivate.


After the five mutated beasts finished transforming the materials they had swallowed before, he opened the data panel.

Because they had previously experienced an advancement in maturity and converted some materials, the Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng’s value increase was a bit lower than that of Little Purple and Monkey, but it was still more than 2000.


Monkey’s values increased by more than 3,000 each. After Little Purple’s bloodline awakened, each of its values increased by more than 4,000, making Ye Chen delighted.


And perhaps because of the difference in level, the value increase of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle was relatively smaller, increasing its distance from Little Purple and Monkey who were also infants.


However, Ye Chen was quite satisfied that the abilities of mutated beasts could increase to this extent in the Divine Court.


So, he led the mutated beasts into the array set up in the pool confidently. A scene flashed before their eyes and the empty cave and the faintly glowing altar far away appeared in front of them again…
