Zhou Dezhen was able to conclude that all the talismans in Chu Nongying's hands came from the Longmen Sect.
Although the spiritual talismans in Chu Nongying's hands are not as good as the Zhou family's heritage, the fact that a little girl can produce so many spiritual talismans is a sign that the Tao and Chu family are not easy to bully.
"Looks like I'm responsible," Zhou Dezhen said, forgetting the discomfort in his heart. The strong rebound from the Tao and Chu families made him realize that the Zhou family's immortals had been wiped out, and the situation was different from before.
.
Sooner or later, you will make you regret it. Zhou Dezhen secretly felt cruel and asked with a gloomy face, "Then let me ask one more question. If you can answer me, I will focus on finding the murderer for the time being."
"Then Zhou Dezhen, you should be careful, the murderer is not that easy to deal with," Chu Nongying replied in a sinister tone.
Zhou Dezhen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he couldn't say anything. The masked man killed two immortals of the Zhou family alone. One of them was the powerful third-level immortal Zhou Daoping. He, a fourth-level immortal, must be careful.
.
Some people are bad-faced, and naturally some people are bad-faced. Tao Xinran, the third-level immortal of the Tao family, asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to ask, Dezhen?"
"What are you two doing when you come out early in the morning?" Zhou Dezhen looked determined. He would definitely demand an answer to this question, otherwise he would not hesitate to fight.
"..." The Tao and Chu families exchanged glances, and Tao Xinran finally replied, "Your Zhou family has lost two spiritual beings. Our Tao family and Chu family have also lost two spiritual beings. Naturally, we have to go out and search for them.
.”
"What?" Zhou Dezhen was shocked when he heard this. He never dreamed that he would get such an answer. "Then your two families...are these four immortals the only ones left?"
"We have brought a lot of combat supplies." Chu Nongying warned the other party intentionally or unintentionally, don't think that you can eat four of us with a fourth-level immortal and a second-level immortal.
"What are they doing, traveling together?" Zhou Dezhen was bound to ask this question.
"You don't have to worry about it," Tao Xinran replied calmly. Although he was trying to make a fool of himself, there were some questions that didn't mean he had to answer them. "The fortune-telling card shows that they have fallen."
The test of fortune-telling cards is only an internal method within the family. It is said that there is no need to explain to outsiders. Telling outsiders that the family has lost combat power will also have an impact on the development of the family.
But there are no absolutes in the world, and this time the Zhou family lost two spiritual beings. The number of spiritual beings has been less than that of the Tao family and the Chu family. How can this make the Zhou family, which was once vaguely the largest family in Qingshi City, feel embarrassed?
At this time, tell the other party that our Tao and Chu family, like the Zhou family, only have two immortals left, so as to save Zhou Dezhen from jumping over the wall and plotting against the other two immortals.
As for whether the other party believes it or not, that's none of their business - believe it or not.
In fact, various families also hide their top combat power during special periods, but given the current situation of the Tao and Chu families, it is better to display their top combat power unless necessary, which can save a lot of trouble.
Zhou Dezhen didn't show full trust either. But the two families gave enough explanations. Unless there was concrete evidence, he could not continue to entangle.
If nothing else, if the complaint is brought to the city lord's palace, Nantes will not allow the Zhou family to do anything they want.
Zhou Dezhen was thick-skinned enough and asked these two families to help with the investigation - you refused to save him yesterday, which violated the family covenant of Qingshi City.
"Did we beg you to follow us yesterday?" Chu Nongying's words went straight to his heart - it was you, the Zhou family, who shamelessly wanted to get a share of the pie, but now that something has happened, you think we are unwilling to save you?
"Think clearly, the murderer of my Zhou family may also be the murderer of your clan," Zhou Dezhen said with an extremely ugly face when he saw that he could not persuade them. "In a small place like Qingshi, there are few immortals passing through.
"
The Tao and Chu family have long thought of this possibility. They know very well how the gang ambushing in the secret library works, and the family also has requirements - if there is a possibility of leakage, they must do their best to silence it.
You can even imagine a scene: a sixth-level wandering immortal passed by the secret warehouse leisurely, and was discovered by the Fangfeng clansmen, who ordered him to take a detour - in fact, when encountering such an intermediate level Wandering Immortal, Fangfeng disciples have a huge impact.
It is possible to take action directly.
Then the sixth-level Youxian became unhappy: I'm going crazy... I really want to go crazy... I'm even scared when I go crazy.
As a result, all the family members who were in charge of the secret library were wiped out.
This possibility is really very high, but even if it is true, the Tao and Chu family will not take action against the Zhou family. The Zhou family has been too arrogant in recent years, and everyone has their own reasons for this.
In fact, these two families had a deep fear of the masked man. Not only did he kill people like dogs, but the key was that his combat power was so terrifying - in the blink of an eye, both Zhou Daoping and Zhou Deling fell.
The Tao and Chu families simply cannot withstand this kind of fighting power. Each family only has two spirits left, but no matter which family's two spirits, they may not even be able to withstand the combined efforts of Zhou Daoping and Zhou Deling.
Yes, the Chu family has many spiritual talismans, and the Tao family also has its own heritage, but no one knows the origin of the masked man. Only those who have been thieves for a thousand days, how can they guard against thieves for a thousand days?
Therefore, the Tao and Chu families flatly rejected the Zhou family. Even if the other party offered some exchange conditions, they just refused to agree.
After arguing all night without success, the two families returned to the city early the next morning.
The Zhou family did not dare to stay outside the city and followed each other back to the city. Zhou Dezhen may not be so timid, but two immortals have died in his family, and he cannot afford to lose now - with the ancestor Ouyang of Morrowind Castle
Likewise, anything can happen to anyone, but nothing can happen to him.
After returning to the city, he went to the city lord's palace to report the matter. At this moment, the Viscount of Nantes had already known about it - there really weren't too many people from the three major families working for the city lord in Nantes.
Nantes also took this matter quite seriously and sent a team of guards from the city lord's palace to investigate, as well as the only second-level spirit immortal in the city lord's palace.
However, there is only so much that the City Lord's Mansion can do. There are quite a few immortals in the City Lord's Mansion, and there are three people in total including Nante, but there are not many available manpower, and there are too few relatives around the City Lord Nan.
If this matter were left to Morrowind Castle, City Lord Wen could mobilize all the local families, but this was not possible in Bluestone City. The families were too powerful, and City Lord Nan seemed to have no intention of changing this situation.
Nantes didn't contribute much, and the investigating guards played more of a patrol role. They checked the area and then came back to report - they couldn't find any clues.
Zhou Dezhen also knew that the city lord was perfunctory, and he secretly resented it, but he didn't dare to say anything - the city lord was implying, aren't your families powerful? I, Nan, only have so much power...
Chen Taizhong didn't know that his provocation would not succeed, but he didn't attach much importance to the result of the provocation. He was still looking forward to the feeling of taking revenge with his own hands.
After slipping away, he quickly found Wang Yanyan on the bank of the Wishui River. The two discussed it and rushed to the boundary of Giant Pine City adjacent to Bluestone and Morning Breeze.
Giant Pine is a hilly area with a large population, many people engaged in spiritual planting and tool making, and there are no high-level wild beasts.
Anyway, this place is relatively prosperous. There are three small towns similar to Hutou Town. The two chose a nearby town called Taozhi.
This Taozhi Town also collects immigration fees, two souls per person, and also conducts identity checks. Wang Yanyan took out her identity jade tag. The inspector was still waiting to see Chen Taizhong's jade tag. Wang Yanyan spoke lightly, "He is my master, and his jade tag is his."
Card, please stop looking at it."
Chen Taizhong still concealed his cultivation level this time and was an eighth-level immortal. The inspector was a little curious as to why an eighth-level master brought a ninth-level servant.
However, this kind of thing is not particularly rare. Since the masked one has a jade plaque and the one without the mask has a jade plaque, it is not very important, so he snorted, "The entry fee cannot be waived."
He only felt that he had let the other party off, but little did he know that if he really dared to insist on Chen Taizhong's identity, Chen Taizhong would certainly not be able to enter the town, but what awaited him would be death - he already knew Wang Yanyan's identity.
, how could it be possible to keep it?
The two entered the town and found a small restaurant to have something to eat. Then Wang Yanyan raised her hand and called the waiter, "Check out."
The waiter glanced at Chen Taizhong secretly, feeling a little shameless in his heart. "Brother, you have a majestic appearance and decent looks. Why do you choose to eat soft food?"
"What do you think I'm doing?" Chen Taizhong was stunned. It's not me who asked you to pay.
The waiter didn't want to argue anymore and quoted the price. Nineteen lings and twenty lings. The price of this meal was really not low, but the dishes ordered by these two guests were very high-end and there were many dishes.
Wang Yanyan laid out twenty spirit stones and said, "No need to look for it. Let me ask you, which inn in this town is of higher quality? We want to stay here permanently."
"Thank you, guest," the waiter thanked with a smile on his face. This time he earned eighty pieces of souls. It should be noted that his daily salary was only fifty pieces of souls. Then, he rolled his eyes and said, "Reside permanently?
I wonder how long you two plan to stay?”
"It will take at least one... one or two months." Wang Yanyan originally wanted to say that it would take one year to reach the second level of Spirit Fairy. How could it be so easy? However, she thought that her master was a monster, so she shortened the time.
"A month or two...then it's better to rent a private residence," the waiter thought for a moment and suggested seriously, "If you two are not short of spiritual stones, you can consider renting a private residence with a spirit gathering array."
The reason why inns are expensive is because they have spirit-gathering arrays, which can facilitate guests' cultivation. There are very few private houses that have this.
"The Lord wants something clean, and the price is easy to talk about," Wang Yanyan waved her hand and answered casually.
"Our shopkeeper's wife and brother are walking around the houses of noble people." When the waiter heard this, he immediately patted his chest, "I'm not afraid of the high price. I have a good courtyard to introduce to you... I'll ask him to tell you."
The shopkeeper listened with open ears, and came over after hearing the words, "The yard must be a good yard, I guarantee you will be satisfied, but you have to pay a yearly deposit for a year...the rent is eight hundred lings."
"How can a town like yours have a courtyard like Ba Bai Ling's?" Wang Yanyan asked in astonishment.
Eight Hundred Spirits, even in Qingshi City, is enough to rent a five or six acres of land and a courtyard with a spirit gathering array - if nothing else, if you convert the courtyard into an inn, you won't have to worry about collecting thirty or fifty spirits a day.
