In Yuxu Palace, the Shang family, one of the twelve sects, is located.
Threads of cigarette smoke filled the surrounding area.
Shang Yinju, who was in charge of the left-behind clan, stared at the descendants of the family who came to report back with an ugly expression.
"Yes, Grandmaster Shang Dingye has never returned since he was lured away by a mysterious person that day and left the city.
After that, I searched all the places he frequented, but I couldn't find any clues..." The disciple of the family said solemnly.
"A dignified master of worshiping gods! If you say you can't see him, he won't see you! Even in the entire Qingchuan Mansion, this is the first time such a thing has happened!" Shang Yinju said angrily.
When the head of the family left, he was told many times to guard the door of the house, but now that a master in the family is missing, he is still helpless until now.
"According to the clues, who did Grandmaster Shang Dingye have more conflicts with in the end?" Shang Yinju asked in a deep voice.
"It's Zhang Ying, the Taoist disciple of Tianbao Palace, and Ning Hongli, the Ning family's grand master who protects Zhang Ying." The disciple of this family quickly answered.
"Zhang Ying... Ning Hongli..." Shang Yinju looked gloomy, "Is it possible that the Ning family took the opportunity to attack my business? But it's impossible... Shangguan Feihe has rules, who
To break the rules at this time is to seek death."
"Could it be a righteous alliance?" Shang Jinxiu frowned. She was a master who assisted her brother Shang Yinju and stayed in the clan.
After the clan leader left, the merchants were left with only three great masters: their brother, sister and Shang Dingye.
Now that Shang Dingye is missing, it is a heavy blow to the entire business.
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, let's arrest all the suspects first! A master master of my Yuxu Palace has disappeared. For this reason, the Twelve Sects will cooperate no matter what." Shang Yinju said seriously.
"The one who has conflicts in the short term is that Ying, let's investigate him first.
In addition, Ning Hongli is difficult to handle, but without Yue Dewen, Zhang Ying is a waste who can only practice literary skills. As long as we talk to Shangguan Feihe, everything will fall into place." Shang Jinxiu nodded in agreement.
"But... Shangguan Feihe pays great attention to rules and is extremely rigid... If we want to convince him, we must give him the right medicine..." Shang Yinju pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he thought of a way.
"We can do it this way...Shangguan Feihe is absolutely willing. When the time comes, if the murderer can't be found, we can use that photo to pay for the crime!" He clapped his hands, approached his sister, and explained in a low voice.

Zhang Rongfang changed his body shape, and the government office was blocked by his own people in disguise, who were already proficient in business.
He himself slowly followed the flow of people and wandered on the streets of Qingchuan Prefecture.
He would burrow wherever there were many people.
"Come here, if you count one, I will give you ten big bucks for you! If you are below level 3, please give me some advice! As long as you click, it's first come, first served!"
"The number of people in the Xu Family Arena is limited, and you get paid for every move you make. It's the first one in the city!"
The off-white square is circular in shape, with a sculpture of an experienced bull rider holding a whisk in the center, looking relaxed and relaxed.
There are competition arenas all around.
There were many casual people around the ring who were watching the excitement and did not mind too much.
At this time, Zhang Rongfang was approaching one of the arenas.
Taking advantage of his height, he squeezed into the crowd while watching the two figures fighting on the ring.
On the other hand, he kept smelling the breath of the people around him.
He is looking for a perfect match of flesh and blood.
He had a guess before.
Since what he is filling in is the missing part of flesh and blood, is it possible to suck in small amounts many times instead of sucking people to death in one breath and draining the fish?
If it is confirmed that it is feasible, then his hunting range will be much larger. Instead of just looking for evildoers.
The two of them were fighting loudly in the ring, both possessing speed power of around the second level.
Everyone in the audience shouted, their faces red with excitement and their necks thick.
Zhang Rongfang swallowed slowly and looked around.
Not long after, he suddenly stopped, his eyes passed through the crowd, and soon fell on a young man with a pale face and dressed in brocade clothes.
The young man's skin was almost transparent and his face was bloodless. Although he was chatting with the people around him, his energy was obviously very low.
Say a few words and then take a breath.
And it was from him that Zhang Rongfang smelled the aroma of flesh and blood.
It's not strong, but it's definitely there.
Immediately, Zhang Rongfang took the initiative to move forward.
Bang.
He pretended to be careless and walked quickly, lowering his head and not paying attention to the front, and lightly bumped the young man's arm.
For a moment, his fingers rubbed on the back of the other person's hand, absorbing a little bit of blood.
The other party groaned in pain and turned to look for him. But it was too late.
Zhang Rongfang had already squeezed into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The young man was left holding the back of his hand that was scratched and bleeding, and was quickly bandaged by the people around him.
Not far away, Zhang Rongfang walked into an alley, raised his hand, and gently licked the blood on his nails.
An extremely wonderful feeling came to his heart again.
It's just that this feeling didn't last long, it was just a moment.
"Sure enough...is it still too little?" Zhang Rongfang glanced at the flesh and blood completion column.
Suddenly his expression changed slightly.
There are also changes in the flesh and blood supplement!
From the previous 78, it has now increased to 80!
"It actually works!?" He turned around quickly again and went to find the young man he had just bumped into.
Approach quietly from behind.
But this time when he got closer, he could no longer smell the scent of flesh and blood on the other person's body.
It's as if what you just smelled was just an illusion.
‘It turns out that a little blood sampling is also possible!?’ Zhang Rongfang seemed to have discovered a new dawn.
If this is possible, then this means...
The first thing that came to his mind was nothing else.
But in Yuxu Palace...that great uncle with an incomparably rich aroma!
if it is possible....
He immediately suppressed his thoughts and continued to wander the streets, looking for other individuals.
It was determined that only a little bit of blood would be needed to complete the flesh-and-blood complement.
The reason why I sucked evil people dry before was more because of the wonderful pleasure that made people addicted unconsciously.
Therefore, Zhang Rongfang began to quickly search for all living people in Qingchuan Mansion who could smell the aroma of flesh and blood.
Time passes little by little.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
There is no movement from the merchant side, it seems like something is brewing.
But here at Zhang Rongfang, there have been quite a few changes.
He named the mansion donated by the Jin family Chenxiang Mansion.
After receiving several people from the Jin family who came to visit, he clearly felt what it means to leave someone with tea.
After the death of Yue Dewen, the Jin family, who had been extremely enthusiastic before, now had a much colder attitude.
But perhaps because they had invested too much in the past, the Jin family was still polite and did not change their attitude of trying to win over others.
But the rest are different.
There were people from the Twelve Sects who came to visit before, and they vowed to contact them if anything happened.
But after the news of Yue Dewen's death came, all these people disappeared.
In the garden.
Zhang Rongfang sat cross-legged on a futon behind the rockery, facing the rising sun, talking about the old and absorbing the new.
Recently, he likes to practice here because the rockery behind him can just block the sarcoma on his back.
After searching around the city these days, Zhang Rongfang's flesh and blood completion level at this time has officially reached 85.
This is the value he accumulated after finding more than ten people who could smell the fragrance.
In the past few days, no matter where he went in the city, he could no longer smell any fragrance.
It seems that the flesh and blood supplements of ordinary people are no longer effective on him.
Similarly, as the flesh and blood complement increased to 85, Zhang Rongfang could feel that the physical quality and strength of his whole body had not improved, but the purple-red sarcoma on his back was getting bigger and flatter.
'Normal tumors should bulge outward and become larger, but this tumor...why is it getting flatter and flatter?'
Zhang Rongfang was confused.
But vaguely, he felt that the tumor was not a bad thing, but was undergoing some kind of qualitative change.
"Daozi, are you looking for me?" At this time, Zhang Yunqi quickly approached from the right side of the garden and saluted from a distance.
"Uncle Yun Qi, is there any news from Dadu?" Zhang Rongfang asked in a deep voice. He never believed that the master died so easily.
So I have been asking Nijiao and others to collect relevant information.
What Nijiao and others are best at is blending into the environment, disguising their identities, and collecting intelligence.
"Tianbao Palace was forcibly occupied by Zhenyi Sect. Your senior brother Zhang Qingzhi disappeared mysteriously and was suspected of escaping. Zhenyi Sect and Xizong squeezed out the Daoist Sect's seats from Jixian Academy and replaced them all with their own people. The Ling Emperor did not
It means to hinder.”
Zhang Yunqi said quickly, "In addition, our people have received news that people from the merchants seem to be doing something recently. Because the foundation is still shallow, we cannot find higher information."
"Businessmen... don't worry about them. Where is the main medicine of the next level I want?" He has now broken through the third level of the Golden Toad Skill's daily stage. The next level should be swallowing the sky.
Even though Swallowing Heaven might be a completely fictitious advancement, he still wanted to try it.
"This...these medicinal materials you ordered are not available on the market at all. They are all rare medicinal materials of extremely high age. Some of them have not been seen for decades.
In Qingchuan, I'm afraid..." Zhang Yunqi wondered.
He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Rongfang.
"However, we have achieved what you asked us to do before, to find people with special physiques."
"Oh?" Zhang Rongfang had discovered through extensive hunting that the flesh and blood useful to him were mainly people with special talents.
So he asked Zhang Yunqi to help find such people.
In this way, the time for flesh and blood replenishment can be greatly shortened.
"Over there in Mingguang Phoenix Garden, there is a young woman who has a natural photographic memory, excellent memory, and excellent understanding. No matter what she studies, she can draw inferences from one instance and make rapid progress.
But what is regrettable about this woman is that she was born with an extremely weak body, and she cannot even walk for an extended period of time on weekdays." Zhang Yunqi said in a deep voice.
"Where's the blood?" Zhang Rongfang asked in a deep voice.
He had already ordered Zhang Yunqi and the others to collect a drop of blood when encountering such a person and bring it to him.
Whether this is the goal he lacks, all he needs to do is take a whiff.
"Here." Zhang Yunqi quickly took out a small porcelain bottle, which was gently shaking with the sound of water.
He approached the porcelain bottle and handed it over.
Zhang Rongfang took it and pulled out the cork.
Suddenly, a strong fragrance penetrated his nostrils.
This fragrant fragrance is actually only a little lighter than the fragrance of my great uncle!
Resisting the urge to drink it in one gulp, Zhang Rongfang raised his head.
"Where is the person?"
"Are you going there now?" Zhang Yunqi was stunned.
"Leave now, or something will change later!" Zhang Rongfang stood up. This time, he was very curious about what the sarcoma on his back was.
He had a strong premonition.
If he succeeded in replenishing the flesh and blood from this woman's body, maybe he would be able to know what the tumor on his back was.
