The sun sets over the western mountains, the red clouds reflect the sky, and the setting sun looks like blood.
The Sanyuan Sect is a top-notch force in Yong'an County. The current sect leader is a master at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm. It is said that his combat power has reached an astonishing five-star level. The Supreme Sect leader is a strong man at the pseudo-extraordinary level.
Sanyuanmen has a history of over a thousand years. Despite the swaying winds and turbulent undercurrents, it has remained standing and has become stronger. Its territory has gradually expanded from less than a hundred miles to the current five hundred miles.
Sanyuan Town is a town under the jurisdiction of Sanyuan Sect. If the dynasty had not stipulated that each county could only have one city, Sanyuan Town might have developed into Sanyuan City.
At this time, Sanyuan Town, in terms of prosperity, is not much worse than cities like Linshan City. People are coming and going, traffic is bustling, and it is very prosperous. Of course, there is no comparison with Wangdu.
Riding a red-scaled dragon horse, Chen Zong walked on the wide streets of Sanyuan Town, thinking about where to start all the way.
Is Hua Xima Qianli still in the realm of Sanyuan Gate?
If so, where exactly are you?
In addition to Chen Zong, there are other assessors who have also entered Sanyuan Town. They either bought the information from Fatty Yang Qifeng, or learned the information from other sources.
Sanyuan Restaurant!
This is a restaurant run by people from the Sanyuan Sect. With the Sanyuan Sect as the background, almost no one dares to cause trouble here. And similarly, with the Sanyuan Sect as the background, there is no such thing as bullying customers in the Sanyuan Restaurant.
, because no one knows whether the person being bullied has an amazing background.
If you provoke someone with an astonishing background, it will directly bring huge trouble to Sanyuanmen.
After all, Sanyuan Restaurant is just an industry of Sanyuanmen, an industry that makes money and even collects information.
Chen Zong moved into the Sanyuan Restaurant, so the red-scaled dragon horse was naturally taken care of by the people at the Sanyuan Restaurant.
The people of Sanyuan Restaurant immediately knew that Chen Zong had such an extraordinary horse, and treated him with even more caution, not daring to show any slights.
While ordering, Chen Zong asked the waiter for news, especially about Hua Xima Qianli.
However, the information was scattered. Chen Zong thought about it while eating the food and sorted out the scattered information.
"It is certain that Hua Xie Ma Qianli is still within the boundaries of Sanyuanmen. No, it should be said that it is within this Sanyuan Town."
Chen Zong's eyes sparkled.
"It's just that Sanyuan Town is not small. I don't know what Hua Xima Qianli looks like. Furthermore, there are many people. Where can I find someone who wants to hide?"
Chen Zong felt very troubled.
The one-man sword is looking for a hidden flower evil horse thousands of miles away, just like looking for a needle in a haystack, Chen Zong thinks about how to use external forces.
The best external force that can be used here is undoubtedly the Three-Yuan Gate.
"Perhaps, we should visit Sanyuanmen." Chen Zong thought secretly, but he had a headache.
The Sanyuan Sect is not as good as the royal family, but it is still a first-rate force. There are many masters of the True Martial Realm, and even those of the Pseudo-Extraordinary Realm, while Chen Zong is only in the Strength Training Realm.
Due to the inequality in strength, it is very difficult to get Sanyuanmen to contribute unless you pay a corresponding price.
"Haha, Brother Chen, we meet again." The funny-sounding laughter came from the fat man Yang Qifeng. He sat down in front of Chen Zong unceremoniously, asked the waiter to bring bowls and chopsticks, and ordered a bunch of good wine.
Good food.
Meeting Yang Qifeng, Chen Zong was not surprised at all, because the other party's assessment task was also to hunt down Hua Xima Qianli. In essence, he and Chen Zong were competitors.
"Brother Chen, are you worried about how to find Hua Xima Qianli?" Yang Qifeng picked up a large piece of food with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. He wolfed it down and chewed it with his mouth full. Strangely, he spoke very clearly.
"Brother Yang, does he have news to tell me?" Chen Zong asked with a smile.
"Haha, it's easy to talk, five dragon teeth." Yang Qifeng smiled again, doing business all the time, and then said to himself without waiting for Chen Zong's answer: "Actually, I don't know where Ma Qianli is now.
, I can only be sure that he is within this Sanyuan Town."
"However, we can cooperate." Yang Qifeng's eyes widened and sparkled: "As far as I know, there are nine tasks in total this time, which means that only nine people can complete the task. The competition is very high, and the one who receives the task is very competitive.
There are a total of eight people pursuing the assessment mission of Hua Xima Qianli."
"Brother Chen probably doesn't know a hidden rule yet." Yang Qifeng suppressed the smile on his face, and his chubby face showed a serious look: "No matter what year it is, although it is not stated explicitly, there are hidden rules for the national scholar assessment.
, that is, you must not rely on external forces beyond the level of Jinjin Realm."
Hearing this, Chen Zong was surprised.
"If someone violates this without knowing it, they will be immediately disqualified." Yang Qifeng said.
"Thank you." Chen Zong said seriously. If Yang Qifeng hadn't told him this, he would have really gone to the Sanyuan Sect. With the help of the Sanyuan Sect's power, he might even have used the power of a master of the True Martial Realm.
"In addition, if I did not predict the mistake, the Sanyuan Sect has been notified by the royal family that it is not allowed to provide help to the assessors." Yang Qifeng said with a smile.
Chen Zong was a little stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head slightly and smiled, almost making a futile effort.
It has to be said that the dynasty attaches great importance to the assessment of national scholars.
The external resources that each person participating in the assessment can rely on are too few, and the test of their own abilities is extraordinary.
"So Fatty, I think that if you want to complete this task in just one month, you need to use the strength of each assessor and cooperate with each other to first find out the whereabouts of Hua Xima Qianli." Yang Qifeng analyzed clearly.
Chen Zong had to admit that under the various restrictions of the royal family, he fell into a situation where he was almost helpless.
Compared with others, the information you have is too little. This is a disadvantage.
Cooperating with others seems to be the only way, unless you are willing to spend a lot of time, but the time limit is one month, and the longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be.
As for who can kill Hua Xie Ma Qianli after finding him and obtain his head and turn it over, that depends on the individual's strength.
cooperate!
compete!
"Since Brother Chen agrees to cooperate, then I will find other people and gather here later to discuss cooperation matters." Yang Qifeng said.
"Thank you, Brother Yang." Chen Zongdao, it is undoubtedly suitable for Yang Qifeng to come forward.
Yang Qifeng worked very efficiently and quickly summoned several other people.
Including Chen Zong and Yang Qifeng, there are eight in total, and Yu Wenran is among them.
Seeing Chen Zong, Yu Wenran frowned and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he did not get angry directly.
"Prince Ran, please take a seat." Yang Qifeng opened a private room in Sanyuan Restaurant for better discussion: "Our purpose is to assess the task, but under various restrictions, the external forces we can use are very limited.
We are very few and can only rely on our own abilities, so I suggest that we cooperate and find out the whereabouts of Hua Xima Qianli first."
No one spoke, but listened quietly to Yang Qifeng's words.
"As for who can kill Ma Qianli and obtain his head after finding him, it all depends on his own ability." Yang Qifeng said with a smile.
"I agree." Someone immediately expressed their opinion.
"I agree too."
"good."
"Then let's cooperate."
In any case, cooperation is indeed a more effective way to save time at present.
Yu Wenran also agreed to cooperate. Among everyone present, in terms of combat power, he was the only one who had reached the late five-star stage and was the strongest. However, strong combat power did not mean that he could find Hua Xima Qianli the fastest.
If external forces could be used, as the crown prince, the Sanyuan Sect would have to obediently cooperate with the full investigation, or let the palace's experts be dispatched, so that Ma Qianli could be found in a short time.
Unfortunately, they are all restricted.
"As long as I can find Ma Qianli, who can compete with me based on my strength?" Yu Wenran thought to himself. He felt that the strength gap between them was so great that he did not take the other seven people seriously. After all, the one with the highest combat power among these seven people
, it’s not even five stars.
"Since everyone agrees to cooperate, then everyone must do their best." Yang Qifeng, as the initiator of the cooperation, continued: "I propose that everyone be ready to start looking for Ma Qianli's whereabouts and gather here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning
, regardless of whether we have traced it or not, let’s share our respective results.”
After agreeing, everyone stood up and left, racing against time.
Chen Zong was walking on the streets of Sanyuan Town, carefully observing the pedestrians around him and wondering how he could better find Ma Qianli.
"If Ma Qianli knew that he was a target, he might hide it deeper."
Not only Chen Zong felt a headache, but so did everyone else.
In the blink of an eye, a night passed, and Chen Zong found nothing.
At nine o'clock in the morning, eight people came to the private room of Sanyuan Restaurant. This private room had been reserved by Yang Qifeng for a month.
Everyone looked a little dull, because everyone had worked hard all night, investigating from all aspects, but still found nothing, not even a single clue.
"Don't be discouraged, it's just the first day, we still have time." Yang Qifeng said: "Let me first tell you where to start looking."
After Yang Qifeng finished speaking, others also spoke and finally concluded.
Three days in a row and still nothing.
"Damn Ma Qianli, hiding so deep." Wang Zhidao's face was full of anger. If Ma Qianli appeared in front of him, he would probably be split in half with his knife.
The faces of the other few are not very pretty either.
Three days have passed in a month, and it is still not sure whether Ma Qianli is still in Sanyuan Town.
Several times, Yu Wenran had the idea of using external force. Fortunately, when he thought about the consequences of using external force, he had to suppress that thought, but his face became extremely gloomy.
For three days in a row, Chen Zong didn't have much time to practice. Apart from resting, he just searched for Ma Qianli. He walked almost all over Sanyuan Town and got a clearer understanding of Sanyuan Town.
Take out the information you bought from Yang Qifeng with five dragon teeth, open it and read it again.
"Ma Qianli's nickname is Hua Xie. He likes beauty and has spoiled many good women..." Chen Zong was thoughtful and felt as if he was trying to catch something.
