Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses Chapter 687 253: Heaven's Edge Sect? Yatian Sect?4

With a furrowed brow, Yuchi thought to himself, "This sect seems to be full of gentlen."

...

In another day, Yi'Er finally reached the destination. Such a resplendent city! Yuchi watched eagerly as Yi'Er dashed into the Demon-slaying Bureau, his heart already half chilled.

...

Huoqing City, a city about the sa size as Jiangzhou City, with a resident population of a few million. Yuchi had calmly arrived in Huoqing City. If it was his first visit, he definitely wouldn't know what kind of shady business this city was engaged in.

His heart was colder than ever as he looked at the formidable Demon-slaying Bureau ahead, truly plunged into an intense sense of helplessness.

"If it were just evil bandits oppressing the people, then there's no problem. But if the Demon-slaying Bureau begins such tricks, it truly leaves one in a state of utter helplessness."

Looking at the remarkably normal citizens of Huoqing City, at the business as dull as water, Yuchi, for a mont, felt as if he'd returned to Jiangzhou City. Yet, Huoqing City was even more extravagant than Jiangzhou City, with the Demon-slaying Bureau engaging in such business.

"Now the issue arises: is it just the Demon-slaying Bureau doing such business, or are all Four Major Institutions aware?"

If it's only the Demon-slaying Bureau, the issue isn't overly imnse, but if it's not just them, if all Four Major Institutions have this disposition, then Yuchi is truly helpless.

"Think of how people in South City might have once sought aid here, hoping for the Four Major Institutions to intervene, only to be denied, with excuses easily found, casually used to brush them off, coupled with that phony pressure, gradually turning South City into this state."

"And Huoqing City isn't particularly far from South City, suggesting South City is under Huoqing City's control. Even if I were to completely dismantle South City's rules now, I can't expect Huoqing City to make any real changes; such situations might repeatedly occur."

"Right now, the crucial point is to find out if Huoqing City has just one old dog or if they're all old dogs!"

Looking at the exceedingly grand Demon-slaying Bureau nearby, in the past, the Demon-slaying Bureau in every big city was the least competent one, yet here in Huoqing City, it was so impressive.

Yuchi saw the string of brothels and hotels lined up at the entrance to the Demon-slaying Bureau, providing a basic judgnt.

"They're keeping a hundred thousand people like livestock; they must be wealthy."

"Impressive, Demon-slaying Bureau."

Yuchi's affection for the Demon-slaying Bureau dropped to zero. Previously, when he first encountered the Demon-slaying Bureau in Xufu Town, he heard from Xun Xian of their renowned loyalty. Then, upon reaching Jiangzhou City, the Demon-slaying Bureau had turned into old hypocrites. Now, arriving in Huoqing City, the Demon-slaying Bureau was again devising ways to extract money?

It's truly off-putting!

...

"Guest, are you staying or just getting so fire?"

The waiter greeted Yuchi with a smile as he walked in. After living in Huoqing City for so many years, he could imdiately recognize who had money and who was here for a free al.

The youth in front may not have any valuable possessions visible, seemingly just dressed as a commoner, yet he had so air of confidence.

"Staying." Yuchi said with a grin. "Prepare so at, I'm starving."

"Alrighty!"

Yuchi sat in the inn's main hall, while the shopkeeper smilingly handed over the room key, with the at and tea already served.

Smiling at the shopkeeper before him, Yuchi took the initiative to say, "Shopkeeper, do we have any famous perforrs here in Huoqing City?"

Famous perforrs? The shopkeeper gave a manly smile, "We do, though the price isn't cheap."

"How much?" Yuchi asked while eating.

"Ten taels of silver for a night's stay."

"Really? Where?"

"Haha, after the guest finishes eating, I'll have the waiter take you there. Our inn offers free carriage service."

"Great!"

Yuchi was now just looking for the most well-inford local to chat with, so he could better understand Huoqing City's tricks, ultimately to judge whether it was just the Demon-slaying Bureau engaging in such malicious acts or if the Celestial Capital Departnt and others were also involved.

There's also good news now, as Huoqing City speaks the Third Province's official language, which is helpful, but if one stumbles on Third Province language, yet is proficient in Fourth Province language, caution is necessary.

...

At the sa ti, while Yuchi ate, planning to explore the brothel later, in the distant Stargazing Platform, Song Qingshan had found his daughter, Song Yinghan.

"Do you have anything to say?" Song Yinghan was disturbed during her cultivation.

It was truly because the other was her father, truly because of missing Yuchi, wishing not to trouble him, or she'd desperately want to leave such a place.

"Pack up, and follow to a city." Song Qingshan casually said.
