Chapter 1091: Chapter 1087: The City in Utter Chaos

Although he said it like that, Ye Zhiran still cautiously took the bank card and kept it close to him…

“Ye Tian, thank you so much. After I complete the task, the remaining money in the bank card will be used to support the construction of Two Rivers Town!”

Ye Zhiran nodded and bowed, and Ye Tian was speechless.

The money in his own bank card was decided by Ye Zhiran to be used for other purposes so quickly…

Fortunately, there wasn’t much money in the bank card, no matter how much the Ye family and Ye Zhiran mess around, they wouldn’t be able to spend much, and Ye Tian was quite reassured by this fact.

Ye Zhiran shouted and then used his Qinggong, leaping away from the place.

Ye Tian and Ye Zhihuan, Ye Zhiran, and Ye Zhicang watched Ye Zhiran leave, and only after his silhouette disappeared completely did they continue with the next topic.

Ye Zhiran pointed to the divine beast Pixiu, lying not far away, already unconscious, and said, “Although I want to go to the Southern City with you quickly, this beast is faint. I must take it back to Two Rivers Town and use some herbal mixes to treat it. If it dies, our Ye family will suffer a loss for nothing!”

Ye Tian also followed Ye Zhiran’s hand to see the Pixiu. When he first encountered this beast, it almost killed him on the spot!

Later, as his strength improved continuously, the so-called divine beast in his eyes was not so impressive…

The Pixiu’s fierce attack was rendered useless by just one punch from Elder Bei Feng, showing that the divine beast’s attack was nothing to those skilled in martial arts!

Of course, that’s just on the surface. It’s possible that in upcoming battles, the Pixiu might show considerable power!

“Alright then! Ye Zhiran, after you heal the Pixiu, take this beast and quickly head to the Southern City!”

Ye Tian nodded in agreement, and Ye Zhiran immediately hoisted the Pixiu onto his back, and with a leap, departed the scene…

“Ye Zhihuan, Ye Zhicang, shall we take a look at Jiangcheng City?”

Ye Tian suddenly suggested, which left Ye Zhihuan and Ye Zhicang looking at each other.

Time was tight. Logically, everyone should hurry back to the Southern City non-stop. Why was Ye Tian suggesting a detour to Jiangcheng? What was he planning?

Seeing the confused expressions on Ye Zhihuan and Ye Zhicang, Ye Tian chuckled bitterly and said, “Both of you, Jiangcheng is my hometown. Now, the Spirit Vein Stone buried under Jiangcheng has been stolen by ill-intentioned people. How can I just stand by and do nothing about such a major issue? Come with me and take a look!”

Ye Tian’s words were sincere, and naturally, Ye Zhihuan and Ye Zhicang would risk their lives to accompany him. So they followed Ye Tian straight to the downtown area of Jiangcheng.

Just a moment ago, in the center of Jiangcheng, there were two massive explosions. The first time, Elder Bei Feng, who was familiar with the area, found the spot where the Spirit Vein Stone was buried and used his mighty strength to blast open a hole in the ground.

And the second explosion happened when Elder Bei Feng used the Ice Heart Awl to forcibly pry open and take away the Spirit Vein Stone!

The site of the explosion had been cordoned off, but quite a few citizens were still watching from beyond the warning line. Standing at the warning line, they could clearly see the large hole blasted open in the ground, and they could faintly hear the gurgling sound of underground river water from within the hole.

Police cars and ambulances arrived one after another. The police officers who came down from the police cars were already engaged in tense rescue operations, while the doctors and nurses who came down from the ambulances continuously lifted injured people onto the ambulances, taking them to the hospital for emergency treatment.

The scene was quite chaotic, and just from the looks of it, the damage and casualties caused by Elder Bei Feng seizing the Spirit Vein Stone from beneath Jiangcheng due to his selfish motives must be astronomical!

“Dear citizens, the cause of the massive explosion in Jiangcheng’s city center is under investigation by the police. Please rest assured, the police have made full preparations to ensure that similar explosions will not happen again. Please stay safely at home and refrain from posting information recklessly online!”

A reporter from Jiangcheng TV was speaking fluently in front of the camera. The massive explosion that happened in Jiangcheng was no small matter, so they had to quickly use the power of the media to calm the citizens’ feelings.

At the scene, Ye Tian also saw the bustling figures of many reporters. All the reporters were tense because the explosion in Jiangcheng was a huge disaster for the entire city!

Ye Tian looked far away, but among these busy reporters, he didn’t find the figure of Zhu Rou whom he knew…

“I saw the explosion just now. It was a person, he smashed the ground with his fist! After smashing the ground, he went inside, then there was a second explosion! After that, I saw him emerge from the ground and flew away like a bird!”

“What a joke? How can a person’s fist create such a big crater in the ground? Didn’t that person have some super-strong bomb on him? And you said he flew away like a bird—that’s impossible! How can a human fly?”

“It wasn’t just me who saw it! Many people saw it! If you don’t believe it, you can ask those eyewitnesses! The officials are afraid the whole city will fall into chaos, so they don’t allow people to talk recklessly! But facts are facts, and no official decree can stop people from talking!”

“So if that’s the case, isn’t that person a superman? No, in comics, superman wouldn’t harm people recklessly! Then that must be the enemy of superman, wreaking havoc in the city. Superman must come and save us!”

The conversation between two Jiangcheng citizens reached Ye Tian’s ears. It seemed that no matter how much the media and officials tried to conceal it, the truth could not be covered up.

Since Elder Bei Feng had blown open the ground and taken the Spirit Vein Stone from the city center, there was no way to hide it from the public, and there must be many citizens who witnessed the entire event.

It seemed that Jiangcheng’s city government would need to put in considerable work to calm the citizens’ emotions!

But for Ye Tian, there was nothing he could do about it, and to quell rumors, the only thing needed was time…

Ye Tian was deep in thought when a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

This voice was exceedingly familiar, and Ye Tian naturally recognized who it was—it was the voice of Wang Ke’er, the pretty police officer from the Jiangcheng Police Bureau!

“What a coincidence?”

Ye Tian turned around, grinning mischievously.

Upon seeing Ye Tian’s unserious demeanor, Wang Ke’er couldn’t hold back her anger!

“What time do you think it is? Jiangcheng has had such a huge incident, and the whole city is under martial law, and you still have the mood to joke around? Really, where have you been these days? Not only have you disappeared, but Yun Xinyan seems to have vanished into thin air too!

Ye Tian, have you and Yun Xinyan been off enjoying yourselves somewhere, not caring about the lives of the citizens of Jiangcheng? If this continues, the whole city might be destroyed!”

Wang Ke’er’s complaints were not without reason. When Ye Tian was in Jiangcheng before, no matter how strange the situation, Ye Tian would help resolve it.

But now, with Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan mysteriously missing for several months, such a severe incident suddenly happened in Jiangcheng, as if the entire city was about to be uprooted!

“Where could I go? Of course, I was wandering around! Xinyan is fine. But she’s pregnant, so she can’t move around too much, she’s quietly resting to take care of the baby!”

In front of Wang Ke’er, Ye Tian naturally couldn’t spill the truth, so he only shared the joyful but not the worrisome news…

Wang Ke’er gave Ye Tian a doubtful look. As a police officer, her insight was also sharp. She looked at Ye Tian, then at the two elder men behind him, who appeared to be extraordinary figures.

Such a situation made Wang Ke’er even more suspicious…

“Ye Tian, this big explosion in Jiangcheng, could it have something to do with you?”

Wang Ke’er asked skeptically. It couldn’t be denied that her sense was keen enough to hit the mark without any evidence!

Ye Tian immediately denied it, and upon hearing his response, Wang Ke’er’s face immediately darkened!

Wang Ke’er shouted angrily, and under Ye Tian’s provocation, she fell into a state of rage and forgot her earlier suspicions about Ye Tian being involved in the Jiangcheng explosion…
