Chapter 297 Huang Ting comes
Three more days passed, and Xiahou Yu, who was sitting in the dungeon, closed his eyes to rest, was awakened by the jingling sound of unlocking. With a creaking sound, the thick iron door opened, a glaring light came out. Xiahou Yu looked intently and saw Zhang Sihan's father coming to him again with powerful steps.
After snorting coldly, he raised it to Xiahou Yu again without saying a word and walked out of the prison cell.
Xiahou Yu felt the magic power all over his body. As expected, after leaving the prison area, he immediately recovered his contact and wanted to struggle to escape through the air, but he already knew that there was an extremely powerful air-forbidden formation over the Zhang family compound. He ran away rashly and might have some troubles to suffer, so he had to make up his mind and act according to the opportunity.
After a while, Xiahou Yu was thrown heavily on the stone slab in the hall of Zhangjia.
"Elder Wu, everything my father said is true. This kid is the one who changed his position with the murderer that day. If you don't believe it, you can ask him about all the reasons."
Xiahou Yu was thrown to the ground and didn't feel any pain. He looked up and saw clearly in the hall. In addition to Zhang Qingwei who brought him, there were three old men sitting upright, one of which was Zhang Changzong, the Zhang family leader, and the other was a bit thin, with a rosy skin and a very spiritual face. After seeing it clearly, he was surprised to find that these three people were actually cultivators in the God Transformation Stage.
The man called Elder Wu had a haggard face and a little gray hair. He looked at Xiahou Yu, who was lying on the ground and said without saying a word, "Fellow Taoist is such a good idea. My great-grandson of Wu died in your Zhang family inexplicably. Now that you have created such a foundation-building cultivator, you want to use it to block the crime? And even if this kid really changed positions with the murderer, I think he was deceived by someone with sweet words. What's the crime? My friend, you said I'm right?"
From the simple conversation between the two, how could Xiahou Yu not know the identity of the person who spoke? He sighed at the unrighteousness of the Zhang family and also echoed: "This senior is right. The boy is also a customer of the Zhang family. He originally thought of buying something in the auction house, but he didn't expect such a change. Although the boy's unintentional mistake caused the incident to happen, the real responsibility should naturally be that the Zhang family's auction house was not managed properly, but imprisoned the boy for half a month for no reason. It was simply inseparable from black and white, covering the sky with one hand."
The old man heard Xiahou Yu's words and immediately looked at Xiahou Yu with a look of superior eyes. He nodded, then turned his face to the other two people in the hall and said, "Fellow Taoist Yuanxu, there is no need to ask. I also know that Daoist Zhang will not lie and deceive Yu Zai, but my great-grandson died inexplicably, so there must be an explanation. And I think this little friend is not a very evil person, but he was just bewitched by the murderer. Could it be that Daoist Zhang wants to expose the death of my great-grandson if he gives up such a boy?"
The old man named Xuanxu said after stranding his beard, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, as the president of the Alchemist Alliance in this city, I came to be a witness at your invitation. Now, after paying the deposit, I died in your auction house. This responsibility is naturally unavoidable. It is reasonable for Fellow Daoist Wu to ask you for an explanation, but I don't know what you think?"
Zhang Changzong suddenly sighed in his heart at Elder Wu's cunningness, and instantly saw through his own thoughts. However, listening to the other person's dialect, he did not have room for negotiation and bowed to the two of them with fists.
"Elder Wu is so serious. Your great-grandson has something to do in my Wangfeng auction venue. Of course, he has the responsibility and obligation to find the murderer. Now that Elder Wu wants an explanation, he asks Elder Wu to draw a trail. As long as my Zhang family can do it, he will definitely do his best to satisfy you."
"That's easy to say. Although the great-grandson died of Feiming, he was extremely sad. He thought that he was incense with me, Huang Tingzong, and I, was also incense. As long as fellow Taoist, please help me, Huang Tingzong to investigate the murderer and compensate me, Wu's family for the losses, I will give up. What do you think?"
When Zhang Changzong heard that the other party’s request was so simple, he felt a little happy.
"Fellow Taoist Gao Yi, I will mobilize all forces under the Zhang family to investigate the murderer and avenge Elder Wu's great-grandson. As for the losses of fellow Taoist, I am willing to bear them with all my strength."
"My fellow Taoist said something and there was a testimony from Yuanxu. I thought I wouldn't regret it. So, I'll ask fellow Taoist to prepare 20,000 top-grade spirit stones and I'll send someone to pick it up at noon tomorrow."
"What? Twenty thousand? Top-grade spirit stones, are you listening to the wrong thing below, or is Elder Wu joking?"
"What, do you think you are joking?" The elder Wu's face suddenly became cold.
"Isn't it? Ling Sun is just a mere foundation-building cultivator. How could my Zhang family need to compensate 20,000 top-grade spirit stones?"
But Elder Wu ignored Zhang Changzong, but smiled and said to Yuanxu, "As a witness, fellow Taoist Yuanxu, is a judge. My great-grandson of Wu Changshu died in this Zhang family auction. Isn't it too much to ask him to help arrest the murderer?"
Na Yuan Xuzi nodded.
“Not too much.”
"Then my great-grandson was killed and the storage bag on my body was lost. It would be too much for the damage caused by the Zhang family?"
"It's reasonable, but is there 20,000 top-grade spirit stones in the storage bag of fellow Daoist great-grandson?"
"This is naturally. My great-grandson was responsible for purchasing resources for my Huangting Sect to cultivate immortals this year. He received 20,000 top-grade spirit stones from the sect. When he came to Wangfeng City, he completed some of the purchase tasks. All details are available in our sect. It is fine if people die now, but this huge amount of spirit stones has disappeared. Shouldn't he ask the Zhang family to accompany him?"
Yuan Xuzi was speechless for a moment and turned his gaze to Zhang Changzong with some embarrassment.
"What a lion's mouth is open, 20,000 top-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to 200 million spirit stones. Elder Wu is really good at calculating. Your grandson is just a mere foundation-building cultivation. What kind of virtue can he be able to buy the entire Huangting Sect's immortal cultivation resources? Could it be that you want to take away the foundation of my Zhang family after a few words?"
Wu Changshu sneered and then whipped his sleeves.
"I know, fellow Taoist does not believe it, and I did not intend to make fellow Taoist believe it, but everything is based on real evidence. What the fellow Taoist means is to refuse to compensate me for the losses of Huang Tingzong?"
"So what if I don't accompany you?"
"Haha! So what if I don't accompany you? The two senior brothers below are now living in Wangfeng City. I can't say that Wangfeng City should be replaced by the city lord."
Zhang Changzong was stunned when he heard the threat of the other party's words. How could he not know that Huang Tingzong was going to attack him? He immediately turned his eyes to Yuan Xuzi with his help.
"Elder Wu was so angry. I am a dignified sixth-grade alchemist. If you framed me with such a clumsy strategy, wouldn't Huang Tingzong be afraid of recruiting the attacks from the Alchemist Alliance and Xuantian Pill?"
