Chapter 626: Chapter 546 News Chapter 626: Chapter 546 News The city nestled within the mountains of Mount Akagi bustled with prosperity.
The two main roads that connected the east, west, south, and north sections divided the entire city into four equal parts, a structure that was definitely not ant for aesthetic purposes but to facilitate the Onmyoji in setting up the corresponding Arrays around the city.
The streets were filled with non-stop pedestrian traffic, and cries from street vendors could be heard in the alleyways; an ordinary person would probably think they had traveled back in ti to an ancient Sunrise.
But upon closer inspection, one could discern significant differences.
Even the ordinary people living here appeared spirited and robust because, due to the world-class standard in Everworld, average adult n possessed the physical quality of First Tier Transcendents from the real world.
On top of this, with cultivation as their foundation, their starting point was much higher than that of ordinary Cultivators, and their growth potential left others far behind.
Because of the application of Spiritual Power, this world only seed to be behind the tis but was, in fact, rich in resources, and the standard of living for ordinary people was quite high.
Muffled sounds of hamring ca from a shop on the street corner in South City.
Clang!
Bright swords and knives were on display at the front of the shop; passers-by occasionally stopped to ask for prices, and after so haggling, transactions were completed.
The one attending to custors was a young man with a sowhat youthful face; he was just an ordinary apprentice and couldn’t participate in the actual forging process.
As dusk approached and pedestrians beca sparse, shouting ca from behind the smithy. After the young man finished his work, a middle-aged man with a flushed face and a tall stature erged.
“Taro, co over early tomorrow to open the shop; I have to go out for a while.”
“Is it the Shrine Priest coming down to investigate things again?” the youth asked curiously.
“That’s none of your concern.”
“Always taking up your ti every other three days, we can’t replenish the goods in ti, and many custors have complained.” the young man murmured under his breath.
“Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting?”
The middle-aged man raised his hand, “Aren’t you going to get going?”
“Even though we’re protected by the Onmyoji Array, it’s still best not to wander around at night. Hurry up and leave!” The middle-aged man urged impatiently.
The young man pouted and mumbled a few words under his breath but heeded the advice and after packing up everything, he left.
As the sun set, the city that had been bustling during the day quickly fell silent. The young man initially felt nothing amiss but gradually noticed that fewer and fewer people surrounded him.
He quickened his pace, finally returning to his residence just as the last trace of sunlight disappeared.
It was a small courtyard with a modest area, scattered with forging tools and equipnt for training strength on the side.
In any world, being an ironsmith was grueling work. Here, not only did one need a robust physique, but advancing further also required a bit of understanding in the application of Spiritual Power.
“Better rest up, early start tomorrow.”
After eating sothing and washing up, the young man went to bed early. With the disappearance of the sun, the world dimd, and the young man quickly fell into slumber.
Thud!
In his sleep, he turned over, face down, exposing his back.
Just then, a faint light flickered, and a palm-sized Paper Doll cut from white paper detached from the young man’s back, then crawled out through the collar of his clothes, scampering rapidly towards the door.
The body of the Paper Doll trembled as it squeezed out through the crack under the door.
Mount Akagi was a hot place; even at night, the temperature was not low. With a breeze outside, the Paper Doll waved its limbs and floated up with the wind, soon disappearing into the darkness.
anwhile, in a remote courtyard sowhere in Mount Akagi, in a dimly lit room, two red flas flickered. On closer inspection, one would realize that what burnt were not flas at all, but the agitated Spiritual Power within an old man’s eyes.
“Another one.” the old man murmured lightly. At that mont, a Paper Doll slid under the door, autonomously hopping up onto the old man’s shoulder.
The hands of the Paper Doll ca together as if pleading, and the old man kept nodding his head. Before long, the light from the Paper Doll gradually dimd until it beca an ordinary sheet of white paper that fluttered down.
At the old man’s feet lay several sheets of white paper of the sa size.
“Yukiko…”
A flash of uncontrollable worry shone in the old man’s eyes, “I’m to bla for your plight. I thought I had planned everything perfectly, but I didn’t expect a mishap at the last mont.”
“Just a little more, if everyone thought I was already dead, no one would trouble you again.”
“But now, although the real party hasn’t shown up… ah…”
He picked up the stacked white papers at his feet. All the information they contained had been fully obtained, and keeping them was now pointless.
“Did they capture Yukiko?”
The old man clenched his fist, but soon, he relaxed his grip.
“Such a despicable tactic.”
He sighed. If the information he received was accurate, he truly had no choice.
However.
Seemingly reminded of sothing, the old man ford a hand seal, and a glow of red flashed across his body. Then, a Fla Tiger shrouded in red light leaped out from within him.
Within a few breaths, the tiger grew to 5 ters long and kept growing.
Boom!
Eventually, the house could no longer contain the tiger’s size. In the next mont, the fiery red tiger burst through the house, mysteriously vanishing into the air.
