Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Change

For adventurers planning to enter the Black Stone Mountain Range to hunt spiritual beasts, being able to resupply in Donglin City is even more advantageous.

Supplies in Black Wind Town are relatively scarce, and the prices are much higher. Moreover, in Donglin City, one can purchase high-quality medicine and elixirs from the Splendid Pill Tower, which cannot be done in Black Wind Town.

Thus, once Donglin City reopens, Black Wind Town will essentially lose its value, and not many adventurers will choose it as their supply point.

At this moment, the mocking adventurer with the triangular eyes also hoped to enter Donglin City. But with Donglin City having been locked down for ten years, it could hardly reopen as long as the Gu Family’s actions against the Jing Family did not come to an end.

The triangular-eyed man and Qiao Si were both adventurers and knew each other; they also had some friction between them, which was why he mocked Qiao Si in front of everyone.

"Donglin City has reopened," Qiao Si took a breath, glanced at the triangular-eyed man, and, curling his lips, said loudly.

The noisy surroundings instantly fell silent.

Donglin City has reopened?

Many adventurers showed incredulous expressions.

After a moment of stunned silence, they quickly recalled the young martial artist who claimed to be from the Jing Family. He had told them that Donglin City’s restrictions were lifted, which they hadn’t taken seriously at the time, and now it seemed to have come true.

Who exactly was that young martial artist?

How could he declare the lifting of Donglin City’s restrictions and actually have them lifted?

Could he be the city lord of Donglin City? But it was well known that the city lord of Donglin City was an elderly man named Jing Tianying from the Jing Family Elders!

"You’re not joking, are you?" the triangular-eyed man asked in disbelief once he regained his senses.

"Believe it or not!" Qiao Si scoffed.

"Gentlemen, Donglin City has reopened. I plan to lead my team into Donglin City now, so I must take my leave first." Qiao Si waved his hand and turned to leave without any delay.

While most people were still somewhat skeptical, most now believed.

Qiao Si’s demeanor didn’t seem like he was joking.

Soon, many people sprung into action and started heading towards Donglin City.

Despite Black Wind Town developing to a certain extent over these ten years, compared to Donglin City, it was still far behind.

Black Wind Town was not far from Donglin City, so it didn’t take much time to travel from Black Wind Town to Donglin City. If they arrived and found the city still inaccessible, the return journey wouldn’t be a great loss either.

After leaving the Donglin City Lord’s Mansion, Jing Yan returned to Black Wind Town.

He had learned quite a bit about Gu Yang from the Gu Family, although he couldn’t track his movements in real-time. Gu Yang wasn’t staying in one place.

To find where Gu Yang was currently located, Jing Yan probably needed to gather information from Black Wind Town, so he returned there.

In Black Wind Town, a large number of adventurers were leaving for Donglin City, and nobody paid much attention to Jing Yan.

Those who had seen Jing Yan in the inn were only a few. The vast majority had only heard about this matter and did not know Jing Yan personally.

Jing Yan released his Divine Soul, enveloping the entire Black Wind Town, sensing the aura of all martial artists, focusing particularly on whether anyone mentioned the Jing Family or was planning to hunt its members.

Given Jing Yan’s current Divine Soul strength, enveloping all of Black Wind Town was somewhat strenuous but not impossible. However, he could only maintain it for a short time, requiring him to retract his Divine Thoughts and rest after a brief duration.

Soon after!

Three figures entered Black Wind Town.

All three were men, one leading the way while the other two followed closely behind.

The one in front appeared quite young. The two behind him looked considerably older.

"What has happened in Black Wind Town?" The young martial artist, seeing a large number of martial artists leaving, frowned and spoke.

"Young master, let me find out more," an elder said, then quickly moved away.

"Something unusual must be happening for these adventurers to leave Black Wind Town so readily. Moreover, they’re not headed towards the Black Stone Mountain Range but towards Donglin City," another elder said, shaking his head, his eyes twinkling.

"Could it be a major event in Donglin City?" A slight smile appeared at the corner of the young martial artist’s mouth.

This young martial artist was none other than Gu Yang.

He was another candidate for the patriarch of the Gu Family, aside from Gu Xinghe.

While Gu Xinghe was alive, Gu Yang was somewhat overshadowed by him. Inside their family, the preference was for Gu Xinghe to succeed as the next family patriarch.

If Gu Xinghe had lived on, the role of Gu Family Patriarch would almost certainly have been his, leaving Gu Yang little chance to succeed.

But now Gu Xinghe had died.

With him as the only remaining candidate for the Gu Family Patriarch, it was almost certain he’d assume the role in the near future.

The patriarch of such a Great Family wielded immense power. Thinking of this, Gu Yang could hardly contain his excitement.

Over the past decade, Gu Yang had been very prominent. His influence within the family had also been growing steadily.

It must be said that Gu Yang was highly capable. His Martial Arts Cultivation was nearly on par with Gu Xinghe’s, both at the peak of the Daoist Master Realm. In other aspects, he matched Gu Xinghe closely. The main reason Gu Xinghe had outshone him was that Gu Xinghe’s grandfather was the Ancient Family Ancestor, Gu Wanquan.

Without Gu Wanquan, the position of Gu Family Patriarch might indeed have been difficult for Gu Xinghe to secure against Gu Yang.

Gu Xinghe’s death was undoubtedly a significant opportunity for Gu Yang. Since Jing Yan killed Gu Xinghe, theoretically, Gu Yang should be grateful to Jing Yan.

However, that was just theoretical, and realistically, Gu Yang harbored no intent to thank Jing Yan.

This time, the Gu Family’s plan to hunt down the Jing Family members was mainly driven by Gu Yang. As the current patriarch of the Gu Family was about to step down, making a notable achievement at this time would clearly benefit Gu Yang’s swift control over the family.

Hunting down the Jing Family Disciples was an excellent entry point for him. Firstly, it held minimal risk. Secondly, if he could annihilate the Jing Family, that would be a significant accomplishment.

"Young master, I found out," the elder who had left earlier quickly returned, bowing slightly to Gu Yang.

"Donglin City has reopened."

"These adventurers are planning to enter Donglin City," the elder continued.

"Donglin City has reopened?"

"How is that possible? Does Donglin City have the guts? Aren’t they afraid that the Jing Family will be annihilated in a short time?" Gu Yang hadn’t expected the changes in Black Wind Town to be caused by the reopening of Donglin City.
