Chapter 1040 Mysterious Man at the Round Table

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 I first heard about the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce while investigating the case of Shen Zhou, and learned that he was investigating the smuggling case of the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce during his lifetime.

However, Zu An knew that Shen Zhou died near the capital. At that time, he should have been on his way to Beijing to report the letter, and it was impossible to investigate any smuggling case.

Moreover, the charred corpse that was burned to death in the warehouse in the smuggling case was not Shen Zhou, so he didn't pay much attention to the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce.

But as the follow-up investigation continued, it was discovered that the shadow of the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce would appear from time to time. Until now, he learned that the demon master might also be hiding in the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce. He knew that there was definitely something wrong with this chamber of commerce.

"Let me go to the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce with you to investigate." Zu An said.

Qiu Honglei was a little surprised: "Won't it delay your business?"

Zu An shook his head: "It's okay, it just so happens that I have something to check."

Qiu Honglei put her head on his arm, her eyes smiling like crescent moons: "Azu, you are so kind to me."

Zu An patted her hand, and the two talked about their lives after separation.

Unknowingly, we arrived near the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce. Strictly speaking, many shops in Yunzhong City belong to the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce, so they occupy a large area.

However, according to the information obtained by Qiu Honglei, that Kong Qing should be hidden in the association.

The two of them wandered around the headquarters like a couple, while secretly investigating the guards of the Chamber of Commerce, recording their shift changes, etc.

After some investigation, Zu An was secretly shocked: "Is this Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce going to heaven? The surrounding guards are even tighter than those in places like the County Sheriff's Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion."

Qiu Honglei replied: "The Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce is already very large. They have branches all over the world, and Yunzhong County is where their headquarters is located, so it is naturally more exaggerated than other places."

Zu An was a little hesitant, wondering if it would be safer to send troops to investigate?

However, the movement of troops was too big, and he had no evidence. If nothing was found in the end, there would be a lot of trouble in the future.

After all, the impact of leading troops to search such a large taxpayer of the imperial court for no reason was too bad.

So he decided to go and investigate first to see the situation.

Soon the two of them waited until night. Qiu Honglei wanted to go in, but was stopped by Zu An: "You can wait outside. After all, that Kong Qing can escape from your master, his cultivation level must be very high, and this Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce With such a large scale, there must be many experts guarding it."

Qiu Honglei snorted, obviously a little dissatisfied: "I am also a dignified Holy Saint, and I still have the ability to protect myself."

"This time is really different," Zu An said in a deep voice, "This time not only involves the killing of the elders of your sect, but also involves great changes in the officialdom of Yunzhong County. It is definitely not simple. Even I have to be careful when entering. I won’t be able to guarantee your safety at that time.”

With Qiu Honglei's talent and resources, given time, she will definitely become the top master in the world. However, she is too young and has only been practicing for ten years. How can she compare with those old monsters who have been practicing for tens or hundreds of years?

This time she was facing a master-level expert. He couldn't figure out what was going on inside, and he didn't dare to let her take risks.

Hearing the caution in his tone, Qiu Honglei thought for a while and nodded: "That's okay, so as not to hinder you by going in. Let's do this, I will meet you outside. If I sense that you are in danger, I will create something outside."

Make noise to distract their attention."

If it was just her, she might go, but with Zu An, if he was really implicated, that would be something she didn't want to see.

Zu An smiled and pinched her cheek. Just as he was about to sneak in, Qiu Honglei suddenly grabbed him and held a lantern in his hand to him: "Take this with you. This thing is called Xiao Chang."

Once the Xin Palace Lantern is lit, it can imprison all creatures within a radius of several feet. Of course, if the target has a high level of cultivation, it won't be able to restrain it, but it can also slow down the opponent's movements, so you can use it for self-defense."

She was about to teach the other party how to use the Little Changxin Palace Lantern, when Zu An had already pushed her hand back:

"Don't worry, with my current level of cultivation, I won't be able to use this. This is your trump card. You should keep it for self-defense. You will have to deal with me later. If some masters come to attack you, with this

I feel more at ease with this stuff."

Seeing his calm tone and the calmness in his eyes, Qiu Honglei pursed her lips and smiled, no longer insisting: "I have forgotten that your current cultivation level is no longer what it used to be. It's okay, you have to be careful."

Zu An nodded and took advantage of the gap when the guards inside had just left on patrol to sneak in.

The guards outside had observed the patterns during the day, so they easily broke through their defense lines.

However, as he went deeper, he clearly felt that the guards inside became stricter.

There are secret sentries in many secret places observing the whole place secretly, and they will sound the alarm if there is any sign of trouble.

"A chamber of commerce can be so mysterious." Zu An frowned, feeling more and more that there was something wrong with the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, with his current level of cultivation and the fact that Jade Cong can activate the clairvoyance function, it is not difficult to evade these hidden whistles.

But there were too many houses in the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce, and Zu An found nothing after searching for a while.

He quickly stopped looking for a needle in a haystack, and instead hid in the shadow of an attic. At the same time, he used the jade cong to expand his influence and mobilized all the little animals in the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce to help them find it.

Of course, with the intelligence of those little animals, it would be difficult to understand how to find a master of the monster race, but Zuan does not need them to understand, he only needs them to be afraid.

The opponent is a master-level figure of the demon clan, and these little animals are actually demon clan in a broad sense, just low-level beasts without consciousness.

Therefore, those monsters naturally have the pressure of superiors on inferiors towards these small animals. Once they approach a certain range, these small animals will feel extreme fear, and then they will know where the target they are looking for is.

Those little animals began to wander around the houses of the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce, which made the guards at the house very strange, wondering if they had met someone evil today.

But no one paid much attention to it, just thinking that these little guys were too hungry and came out to look for food.

The search continued, and after about a stick of incense, the results were finally obtained.

Zu An opened his eyes and looked at a yard a few hundred meters away. It was pitch dark, and all the small animals did not dare to go there. Even the cats and mice passing by were trembling.

"It's you!" Zu An pointed his toes, and like a night owl, he flew away in that direction silently.

The whole courtyard was quiet, but Zu An didn't dare to be careless. He took Concubine Bai's sachet to suppress his breath very low, and then used "Mingjing Feitai" to cover up the weak energy fluctuations, and then slowly touched it.

Go in.

Although the opponent is a grandmaster, it's not like he has never fought against a grandmaster before, and has even fought against stronger ones.

He is now at the peak of the ninth level, and with various secret codes and weird skills, he will not suffer much if he meets a grandmaster, even if he fights alone.

He searched carefully along the way, worried that there was a hidden sentry somewhere, but after searching for a long time, he found that there was not a single guard.

He quickly felt relieved. The top masters of the demon race lived here, and it was useless to have guards. On the contrary, it would be easy to expose the opponent's identity.

So he speeded up and came to the central room.

Before it was posted, I heard the faint sound of conversation coming from inside.

"Eh? Is there more than one person?" Zu An was worried, and his steps suddenly hesitated.

He should be able to cope with only one demon master, but if there are a few more masters, it will be troublesome.

But after all, I still couldn't restrain my curiosity. Since there was a conversation with someone, maybe I could overhear many secrets about Zuo Su's murder case and uncover the mystery of Yunzhong County.

As for how many more people can protect themselves with his current level of cultivation, it shouldn't be a big problem.

There can't be several grandmasters in there, right?

He came to the window, poked a hole gently and looked inside.

There were no lights inside, and it was dark, but with his current level of cultivation, he could barely see the scene inside.

There was no other furniture in the hall, only a large round table.

The round table is very large, more than ten times larger than a normal table.

There were very few people sitting around. I counted only 5 people.

They are very far apart from each other, as if they are afraid of each other. No wonder this chair has to be so big.

And each of them was wrapped in a large black robe.

Zu An thought that the previous TV series were all lies. At that time, he saw those people who were masked and blindfolded. What was even more exaggerated was that they wore glasses so that no one around them could recognize them. He thought that if he was in the game, he would definitely be able to recognize them easily.

out of them.

But now Zu An is really confused, because these people's disguises are so good that they can't even see their appearance, and they can't even tell their gender!

"These guys are so sneaky, they look like they are illegally gathering." While Zu An was complaining, someone inside spoke:

"Why do you want to kill Zuo Su?"
