Chapter 6751
Do Me a Favor
The phoenix's wings were inlaid with countless tiny rubies.
Each ruby radiates a captivating luster.
It flickered under the light.
It seems to contain endless mysterious power.
It seemed as if it might spread its wings at any moment, break free from the constraints of this study, and look down upon all living beings in the world.
Suddenly, a crisp cell phone ringtone broke the suffocating silence.
The bell sound was an ancient guqin (a seven-stringed zither) melody.
The music was melodious yet carried an indescribable, eerie charm.
The sound echoed slowly in the empty study, as if it had traveled from a distant time and space.
Almost the instant the bell rang, Di Tianyan's originally lazy gaze instantly turned sharp as an eagle.
Those gazes were like two sharp daggers, piercing straight ahead.
He exuded a chilling aura.
It was as if an invisible force was surging out from his body.
It made the surrounding air seem to freeze, and even breathing became somewhat difficult.
Very few people in the world know this number.
Each time it rings out, it's like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, enough to stir up a thousand waves.
This means that a major event that could change the landscape of the western region is about to happen.
Di Tianyan slowly extended his hand, palm facing up, his movements elegant and composed.
In an instant, an invisible force emanated from his palm.
It was as if an invisible hand was controlling everything.
The phone on the table seemed to be drawn by this force, and landed steadily in his hand.
He looked down and saw an unfamiliar number displayed on his phone screen.
The arrangement of the numbers looked very strange.
The number was preceded by a strange area code, a combination he had never seen before.
This unfamiliar number is like a mysterious enigma.
This caused Di Tianyan to frown slightly, a strong sense of curiosity and vigilance welling up in his heart.
He gripped his phone tightly, his gaze deep, as if trying to see through the small screen to uncover the secrets hidden behind the number.
"Could it be a wrong number?"
A hint of doubt flashed through Di Tianyan's mind.
That doubt, like a small dark cloud, cast a shadow on his otherwise calm heart.
His thumb unconsciously hovered above the hang-up button.
With just a light press, you can end this unexpected call.
However, his cautious habits, honed over years of navigating the underworld, prevented him from taking immediate action.
In that instant, a sudden inspiration struck him.
A possibility flashed through my mind like lightning: Could it be that person calling?
Thinking of this, Di Tianyan's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
The once steady and powerful heartbeat now pounded in his chest like a war drum.
That person held special significance for him.
He was his guide as he walked through the darkness.
It is the support that has kept him steadfast in his beliefs.
If it really was that person calling, what would that mean?
Is it a new mission, or a message of long-awaited reunion?
With this feeling of unease, Di Tianyan took a deep breath.
He slowly pressed the answer button.
His voice was deep and cold, like the north wind on a cold night, carrying an undeniable authority: "Who?"
There was complete silence on the other end of the phone.
Only a slight buzzing sound of electricity could be heard.
The sound was particularly jarring in the tense atmosphere, like the calm before a storm.
The atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating, as if the air itself had frozen, making every second feel incredibly long.
Di Tianyan's brows were furrowed, like two small hills piled on his forehead. The veins on his hand, gripping the phone tightly, were bulging, and his knuckles were white.
He was about to ask questions again.
A steady and familiar voice suddenly rang out: "It's me."
Upon hearing this sound, Di Tianyan felt as if his body had been struck by an electric current.
He suddenly stood up from the sofa.
His previously restrained aura suddenly surged.
It spread outwards like a surging tide.
The surrounding air seemed to tremble.
The books on the bookshelf were overturned by this invisible shockwave.
One by one, the books fell to the ground with a clatter, like kites with broken strings.
The pages fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.
Di Tianyan's hands trembled slightly, due to his excitement.
His breathing became rapid, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle.
He had been waiting for this call for several years.
Every long day and night, he longed to hear that voice again.
Countless nights, he lay in bed, the image of that person constantly appearing in his mind.
I've even simulated this moment countless times in my dreams.
"Alliance leader..."
Di Tianyan's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.
The voice trembled slightly, and even sounded a little choked up.
If the other people in the ancient city saw Di Tianyan, who was usually cold and ruthless, in this state, they would be shocked.
In the eyes of many, Di Tianyan has always been synonymous with ruthlessness and iron-bloodedness.
He was ruthless and merciless, killing without blinking an eye, and could wipe out an entire family with a mere laugh.
However, at this moment, in front of this phone call, he completely shed all pretense and revealed his truest self.
"Remember, don't call me leader, and don't try to investigate this number."
"I am currently on a secret mission, so do not reveal my identity."
A cold and unquestionable voice came from the other end of the phone.
The voice seemed to carry an innate sense of authority.
Every word struck Di Tianyan's heart like a heavy hammer.
It made his heart tremble involuntarily.
Di Tianyan quickly composed himself from his earlier excitement.
Standing ramrod straight, he respectfully replied, "Yes!"
At this moment, fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.
The beads of sweat slid slowly down his cheeks, dripping onto his black outfit and disappearing instantly.
He knew all too well the status and influence of the person on the other end of the phone.
They also understood the seriousness and importance of this mission.
"Help me find out about someone named Yun Yuyan. Her hometown is the Yun family in the ancient city. Her father is Yun Jingtian, and she currently works for the family's group."
“She suddenly disappeared today. I need to know her current location, whether she is safe, and whether there are any other hidden circumstances.”
"I will call back in five minutes. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."
The voice on the other end of the phone remained cold and devoid of any emotion, yet it clearly conveyed the urgency of the mission.
The phone was disconnected with a "beep" as soon as he finished speaking.
In the entire ancient city, Di Tianyan was a very influential figure, wielding immense power and employing ruthless methods.
No one had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone.
Under normal circumstances, anyone who dared to offend him like this would have already lost their life and been reduced to ashes.
But at this moment, Di Tianyan showed no anger whatsoever.
He had only one thought in his mind: to complete the task assigned over the phone as quickly as possible. (End of Chapter)
