Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 206 ~ Influence of Gold Tower Association

Fen Fang stared cynically at some of the guards while Tan Hao again carried Lan Lihua then both of them walked following Ying Yue.

The layout of the city that was different from other cities managed to attract the attention of Tan Hao. The distance between the buildings is quite wide while the height and size of the buildings appear the same. Interestingly, in the middle of the city there is a river that has a width of about two steps, the water looks dark due to the reflection of cloud cloud cloud overcast. While on the side of the small river there is a kind of bridge that extends following the river and has a roof.

The branch manager was very similar in appearance to Yue Yun the manager of the Shuning city branch, just different in face and manner.

Tan Hao took the time to observe every corner of the city as he followed Ying Yue down the small stream that was like cutting through the city.

"This city though is in the middle of an arid land, but it is very beautiful! Hua.er ... When you wake up, look at those buildings. The carving, the pattern, the beauty ... Don't you want to see it?" Tan Hao glanced at the face of Lan Lihua who was leaning against his chest.

Another thing looked different from Fen Fang since he started following Ying Yue, he was acting very alert while his attention was not distracted from the surrounding area.

'Hao 'Hao! Either just my feelings or how but I feel this city is too quiet and cold!' fen Fang said through his mind.

Tan Hao looked at Fen Fang for a moment before smiling faintly, 'Yes! I also know what the cause is. Soon morning's coming, we'll talk about it later,'

Fen Fang returned those meaningful gazes. He did not expect that Tan Hao had already noticed it first, different from the previous day who tended to be ignorant towards the surroundings.

Shaoguan City is indeed located in the desert, although it could actually be built near the border which is still a highland forest area that is not so far away.

Either what underlies the development of the city prefer to be located on sandy soil rather than in forest areas. The city that the natives live in and can be counted with the fingers of the newcomers has no wealth other than clear springs and some results of water ginseng cultivation.

Trade in the city also did not go well, although there is a large market that sells all needs including resource crops. The only attractor of the interest of the immigrants is only a source of springs that are often used as a place to practice warriors.

Not long after, the two had arrived in front of the old yellow building that had two guards at its entrance. Ying Yue gave a sign to the guard before inviting Tan Hao in.

"So how's the association condition here?" tan Hao asked Ying Yue after a while and then laid Lan Lihua on the bed.

Fen Fang just stood still while leaning next to the window not far from Lan Lihua while watching Tan Hao and Ying Yue who were discussing.

Ying Yue poured tea while smiling, her expression was so friendly and bright even though she had been irritated by her sleeping time interrupted by the arrival of the gatekeeper.

"Please have tea, sir! Is correct. In recent days, there has been a sudden attack by the Desert Snake Man. They did so at a time when the night had reached its peak. In addition to killing women, they also kidnap children, especially women. If it wasn't for the help from the association, this city would be a dead city by now...."

Ying Yue continued her story of the Desert Snake Man, although it was almost evening before morning that she seemed very enthusiastic. Moreover, the few times Fen Fang had caught Ying Yue stealing glances at Tan Hao as he told her a story.

Tan Hao frowned several times when he heard the story that Ying Yue had told, Why is there always a problem whenever I visit somewhere? All of them have different and different problems. If this continues, then what should I do? While all I have in mind right now is only the sects and royal cities!'

Their existence is also rarely found, not a single swordsman wants to meet them. Therefore, almost no one passes through the city which is dubbed as the middle road.

"Why can't there be no help from the nearest town? Shouldn't the city leader send a request letter or something!" sahut Tan Hao when Ying Yue had just finished his story.

Ying Yue shook her head slowly while closing her eyes as if reluctant to tell about it.

"I don't know for sure either! We just did as Miss Fen Lian ordered a few days ago through a warrant," Ying Yue explained as she poured tea and gave it to Fen Fang.

Fen Fang grabbed the teacup, "Then what does this town have to do with the assault?"

"According to them, the city harbors a sky-level beast. They believed it was underground in this Shaoguan City. Either they get the information from where because all this time, the news is not true and we have no evidence of the truth!"

Ying Yue took out a red scroll decorated with dragon heads then opened it on the table before Fen Fang and Tan Hao.

The red scroll is a map of Shaoguan City and all the details of the area. Ying Yue then explained the place after place listed in the scroll.

Tan Hao's attention was on a pagoda-like building located on the northernmost side of the city after Ying Yue finished explaining the whole thing.

'If there really was a sky-level savage beast, then what kind of animal was there in such an underground depth? Isn't it getting hotter? Where are any animals capable of surviving in the heat of the Earth's core?'

Ying Yue caught Tan Hao's unmoved eyes from the picture of the pagoda building, "It looks like Young Master is interested in this! This building is called the Holy Tao Pagoda which was used as a place of worship by religious groups. But since fifty years ago it was abandoned, the people who inhabited it also disappeared without any trace they left behind. Now, that place is just an empty, uninhabited building ...!"

"Oh...! Is there anything like that here? Then for the strength of the swordsman sent here ...!"

"Young Master, just calm down! The Gold Tower Association has grown tremendously since six years ago. Many warriors without a sect were recruited and also many volunteered. So nowadays, not just as a provider of resources and information. The association also possessed an extremely powerful combat power, stronger than the three great sects combined. It's just that, our movements have always been in secrecy" said Ying Yue, who now seems clear if not just to steal a glance.

Fen Fang looked at the way the branch manager of the Gold Tower Association spoke felt strange and suspicious even though what he told me was certain.

"We'd better take a break, I think you need some time to sleep. We'll talk about it later in the afternoon! What Miss Yue can give us time for is that!"

Ying Yue looked wryly smiling at Fen Fang's request, "Ah alright! You guys really need a break, I'm leaving now. If you want something, just call. I'll have two servants set up at the door of the room,"

Finished cleaning the table and saving the red scroll back, Ying Yue took a break and walked out. Even when he was alone, he took the time to get closer to Tan Hao. Fen Fang smiled cynically when he found out about the situation.

"Heh, you seductress! I thought you were wearing an amulet, how come every time you meet a woman you always catch their attention!" Fen Fang shook his head while chuckling lightly.

Tan Hao took a deep breath before looking out the window, "Grandfather Fang! I thought, pretty soon you're gonna get the rest of your head you need!"
