A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

After receiving the resource reward, Lin Yang went into seclusion again.

With the special permission of that Lord Zhenge, he could concentrate on his secluded cultivation to break through to the next level.

At the same time, news of the reappearance of Ancient Night Clan lurkers in Baichi City gradually spread.

When the news spread that the Ancient Night Clan had once again infiltrated the area, still searching for treasure rather than for the ancient ruins, everyone was utterly shocked.

The City of White Blaze truly harbors a treasure coveted even by the Ancient Night Clan!
As expected, Baichi City became incredibly lively once again.

This time, the excitement far surpassed any previous one.

Not only are there ancient ruins, but also treasures!
A second wave of treasure hunting fever has erupted.

This time it was even crazier than the last time; they really did it, digging up the entire Baichi City area.

Even the Moon Shadow Sect and the Heavenly Kun Sect temporarily suspended their fighting and sent their disciples to participate.

The struggle between the two factions is unlikely to be resolved in a short time; the treasure is more important.

Everyone was incredibly excited. Last time they unearthed an ancient ruin during their treasure hunt, and who knows what amazing things they might discover this time.

Many people ventured deep into the mountains and forests near Baichi City to explore.

It was an almost exhaustive search.

The occasion was unprecedented.

As more and more people participate in the treasure hunt, some unavoidable conflicts begin to occur.

It started as minor frictions, but gradually escalated into a major conflict.

The Far East Prefecture dispatched a large number of its troops to suppress the unrest and maintain order.

The situation became quite chaotic at one point.

……

"He has finally reached the late stage of the Dao Fire Realm."

On the other hand, after a period of focused seclusion, Lin Yang successfully broke through to the late stage of the Dao Fire Realm.

Furthermore, due to the abundant rewards and resources he received this time, his cultivation level advanced even further, nearly reaching the peak of the Dao Fire Realm.

Lin Yang estimated that his current combat strength was stronger than that of an ordinary early-stage Nirvana Realm cultivator, and could barely be compared to a late-stage Nirvana Realm cultivator.

This strength finally gave him some confidence.

Having strength comparable to the Nirvana Realm makes everything much easier.

Lin Yang then emerged from seclusion.

"It's a pity that I don't have enough Yuansha and resources, otherwise I could have continued to break through in one go."

Lin Yang thought to himself that it was a pity.

He finally had the special permission to go into seclusion, but he didn't have enough resources.

If someone wants to break through from the Dao Fire Realm to the Nirvana Void Realm without the support of resources, it would be too long and not cost-effective.

Therefore, Lin Yang had no choice but to give up.

After he emerged from seclusion, he became aware of the current situation in Baichi City.

The spectacle left him speechless.

"It's far more exaggerated than the last treasure hunt craze."

Lin Yang was secretly alarmed; even this small city of Baichi was basically unable to accommodate any more people.

"Lin Yang, you've emerged from seclusion." Li Rui's voice came from behind.

Lin Yang turned around and nodded: "Captain, it seems that the news of the Gu Ye clan sneaking in to search for treasure has finally been suppressed. The situation in the city is too outrageous."

Li Rui smiled and said, "Indeed, the government troops have already sent a lot of extra men to maintain order. They are all guys who are trying to find treasures to defy fate and change their destiny. They are hard to stop."

Lin Yang remained silent.

The current situation may not be without tacit approval from above.

To this day, there is not a single clue to the mysterious treasure. Perhaps some people want to use the power of the masses to uncover some clues about the treasure.

"Let's go. Now that you've emerged from seclusion, our patrol mission is about to begin. However, there are people everywhere in Baichi City right now, which will make the patrol mission quite difficult."

Li Rui shouted, gathering the team members to continue the mission.

When the team saw that Lin Yang had successfully broken through, they all congratulated him and expressed their envy of his cultivation speed.

When Lin Yang joined the team, he was only at the early stage of the Dao Fire Realm, but now he has reached the late stage of the Dao Fire Realm.

But the rest of the team only improved by one small level at most.

This rapid improvement made the rest of the team quite envious.

After leaving the outpost and beginning their patrol, Cheng Fu deliberately moved closer to Lin Yang and whispered:

“When you went into seclusion a while ago, Xia Shuang sent me a message saying she wanted to come and see us.”

"That girl Xiaoshuang wants to come see us?" Lin Yang was a little surprised. "She's doing well at the Illusionary Sound Sect, why does she suddenly want to come see us? Will her master agree?"

"Xia Shuang said she missed us. As for coming back to see us, she said she's still discussing it with Elder Wen Qingsu. She definitely can't come alone."

Cheng Fu said:

"Xia Shuang said that there are ancient ruins and mysterious treasures in Baichi City. She can take advantage of the opportunity to broaden her horizons and ask her master to bring her back for a visit."

Lin Yang was both amused and exasperated: "This girl is quite good at making excuses."

“That’s right. But I think Xia Shuang’s words make sense. Coming back to see things can indeed broaden one’s horizons,” Cheng Fu said with a smile.

Lin Yang nodded, then glanced at the sea of ​​black heads in Bai Chi City, and said:

"Bai Chi City is too lively right now, with too many people and too many eyes and ears. Who knows what kind of monsters and demons are mixed in? There might even be some undiscovered members of the Ancient Night Clan. Should we let her wait a little longer?"

He certainly missed the little girl.

However, the current situation in Baichi City does indeed cause him some concern.

If anything unexpected happens, it will be a major incident.

Cheng Fu sighed, "When will it be? I estimate that Bai Chi City will remain like this until that treasure is discovered. I can't wait to see the little girl."

Lin Yang thought for a moment: "Let's see what Elder Wen Qingsu thinks first. She has taken the little girl as her disciple and likes her very much. I guess she won't agree to let the little girl come to Baichi City at this critical moment."

The situation in Whitefire City is indeed too complicated and chaotic at the moment.

He figured that Elder Wen Qingsu wouldn't easily let the little girl come to Baichi City.

After all, the little girl's cultivation level was really low.

Currently, it has only been transformed into Tao.

Even though it takes tens of thousands of years to directly transform into the Dao, it is already quite fast.

However, this is the Primordial Ancient Continent, and those with cultivation levels below the Dao level are indeed insufficient to travel around.

Even with Wen Qingsu personally protecting her, it's hard to feel at ease.

Although Cheng Fu also missed the little girl, he knew that what Lin Yang said made sense, so he didn't say anything more.

"Let's find a chance to go to the Illusionary Sound Sect to see the little girl," Lin Yang said upon seeing this.

He was a little uneasy about sending the little girl to Baichi City.

But now his cultivation level is enough to support them going to the Illusionary Sound Sect.

Cheng Fu nodded: "Alright, ever since you said you'd have a chance to see the little girl, I've been saving up all these years. We'll just take the teleportation array there."

As he spoke, Cheng Fu revealed a rather smug smile.

He has accumulated a lot of Yuansha over the years.

Now all that's missing is a vacation opportunity.

It's just this vacation opportunity...

Cheng Fu looked at Lin Yang:

"Now that there are more and more people in Baichi City, it is becoming increasingly difficult to search for the lurking Ancient Night Clan members. I don't think the higher-ups will easily grant us a vacation."

“Especially you, I reckon the adults are even less likely to let you take a vacation.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang sighed softly.

He could sense that something was wrong with the Gu Ye clan, and because of that, he would find it difficult to ask for leave again.

With great power comes great responsibility. Lord Zhen Ge granted him special time for his breakthrough and also gave him a large amount of extra resources, all so that he could focus on his breakthrough and better carry out his subsequent tasks.

Now that I'm out of quarantine, I'm afraid I won't have much of a chance to take a vacation again.

Either the treasure will be revealed, or all the lurking ancient Night Clan members will be found.

Otherwise, they might have to stay in Blazing City forever.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang raised his hand and said, "Let's not think about these things for now. Let's take it one step at a time. There's no rush."

"Mm." Cheng Fu nodded.

The patrol mission continues.

After a preliminary search of Baichi City, Lin Yang found no suspicious persons.

"Still no suspicious persons found? Could it be that the only infiltrators of the Ancient Night Clan this time are the three we captured last time?" Li Rui frowned.

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's possible that the exposure of those three guys last time made the other Ancient Night Clan infiltrators more cautious, which made it impossible for me to detect anything unusual."

Li Rui frowned even more: "The cunning Ancient Night Clan is too hateful."

After saying that, he added, "Then let's continue patrolling outside the city. There are many times more people outside the city than inside."

Now their patrol duties have increased, as they have to patrol both inside and outside the city.

This is naturally because Lin Yang was able to detect the anomaly.

No other squad has such a heavy patrol mission.

However, just as the squad was about to leave the city...

Suddenly a commotion arose.

It was accompanied by bursts of energy fluctuations.

Lin Yang's expression changed: "Someone has made a move in the city."

Li Rui and the others looked rather calm: "It's normal. You've been in seclusion and didn't know that there have been several battles in the city. With more people, friction is inevitable. Some hot-tempered people don't care about the consequences and start fighting without warning."

"So chaotic?" Lin Yang looked over from afar and saw that the two sides fighting were quite strong, with the strength of the late stage of the Dao Fire Realm.

The two fought fiercely, while the people around them retreated a little further away.

Other government troops have already gone to suppress the rebellion.

Before long, the two men who had committed the act were taken away by the authorities.

Then everything quickly returned to normal.

No one was surprised by this situation; it had obviously happened quite a few times before, and fighting within the city had become commonplace.

Lin Yang frowned inwardly; the chaos in Baichi City was far more severe than he had imagined.

This further solidified his resolve not to let the little girl come to Baichi City to see them.

Leave the city.

Crowds of people could be seen everywhere outside the city.

Looking around, it seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

There's even a misconception that the area outside the city is the real city.

There were so many people it was unbelievable.

"With so many people, patrolling this area is going to be exhausting." Lin Yang felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Haha, who told you to have this ability? You'll have to work harder." Li Rui laughed.

The area surrounding Baichi City is quite large.

It's not so easy to conduct inspections.

In particular, the people are mobile.

It doesn't stay in one place.

This creates the possibility of them avoiding the infiltrators of the Ancient Night Clan.

In short, the task can be described as arduous.

Moreover, the area outside the city was even more chaotic.

Physical altercations are frequent occurrences.

What are often minor, harmless frictions can quickly escalate into mutual attacks.

It seems like everyone's temper has become more volatile.

It ignites very easily.

After patrolling for a while, Lin Yang had already witnessed several fights.

"Captain, don't you guys feel like everyone's tempers are a bit short?" Lin Yang observed for a long time before finally speaking up.

He witnessed the causes of those fights he saw while passing by.

For example, if passerby A accidentally gets a little too close to passerby B, the two can quickly start fighting.

This is simply outrageous.

This situation of fighting each other is entirely avoidable.

What could have been resolved with just a single sentence could quickly escalate into a fight.

Li Rui said slowly, "They do have very bad tempers, but it's understandable. With a lot of people, you'll find all kinds of personalities."

Lin Yang frowned again.

What Li Rui said makes sense.

However, he still felt that those people had excessively bad tempers.

Everyone came here to find treasure, so they can be considered competitors. It's understandable that they're wary of each other. But they've already started fighting before they've even seen a glimpse of the so-called treasure.

And they're the kind of people who'll start a fight at the slightest disagreement.

This is something that didn't happen during the last treasure hunt craze.

The last treasure hunt saw slightly fewer people than this one, but not by much.

However, this situation has rarely occurred.

The current situation made Lin Yang feel inexplicably strange.

He tugged at Cheng Fu and transmitted his voice, "Cheng Fu, don't you think those people have a strange temper? They're fighting to the death even though there's no treasure in sight. Aren't they afraid of letting someone else benefit first?"

Cheng Fu didn't see anything wrong with it and replied:

"I think it's alright. We're all cultivators, and it's normal for everyone to have their own temper. There are just too many people, and all sorts of people will appear. You'll get used to it."

Lin Yang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said no more.

Indeed, a large forest will have all kinds of birds.

Perhaps he's being too sensitive.

Even ordinary people have a temper, and it's easy for them to lose control when they gather in crowds.

Let alone these cultivators.

A few days later.

Li Rui received a message and then said to the rest of the team, "There's another fight in the city, and they even broke the teleportation array. I estimate there will be fewer people coming to Baichi City for a while."

Everyone was quite surprised.

"Captain, who's fighting? They even damaged the teleportation array!" Lin Yang's heart tightened for some reason.

Li Rui shook his head: "They were just some bored guys. There were two groups of people who couldn't stand each other, so they started fighting. They happened to be near the teleportation array, which affected the array a bit, but it wasn't a big problem. The adults have already suppressed it."

"Oh..." Lin Yang responded, wanting to ask something else.

A fight broke out not far away.

And this time, it happened in more than one place.

At the same time, there were fights taking place in several different locations.

Lin Yang wanted to go up and take a look, but Li Rui said:
"Don't worry about it. Our team has a special mission approved by Lord Zhen Ge. We only need to patrol and don't need to deal with these troublemakers. Other teams will handle them."

Lin Yang paused. (End of Chapter)
