Chapter 972
As the night deepened and Meng grew anxious, Zhang Xiaohua came out of Rejuvenation Valley. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she had something on her mind.
Meng whispered, "What's wrong?
You didn't find Nie Qianxiu? "
"Let's go. It's getting late. Let's talk as we walk."
The two of them used their lightness skills and rushed to Vow City.
On the way, Zhang Xiaohua said, "We did find Nie Qianxiu and Qiang Sheng, but they were fooled and used as pawns. How could they know anything about the Lord?
She only saw Manor Lord Long and that so-called person sent by His Highness. That person seemed to have inconceivable skills and promised to hand over Rejuvenation Valley to her after taking it down. That's why she was blinded by greed and used the trick of injuring herself to become a spy! "
"What about the person sent by the Lord?"
"He was killed by that mysterious immortal on the mountain peak this morning!"
"Well, this is great. We worked for nothing!"
"Well, it's not like we worked for nothing. Nie Qianxiu also said that she vaguely heard Manor Lord Long mention something called 'Shui Yun'. It seems to be a place where the Lord is. Hmm, it's in the northeast of Vow City. As for the specific location, we'll have to ask carefully!"
"Hmm, it's a place called Shui Yun in the northeast of Vow City. It's easy to find out. When we arrive at Vow City, we'll send a message to the outer disciples of Incense Cult and have them investigate!"
"On the one hand, we'll let them investigate. On the other hand, we'll have to secretly keep an eye on this so-called Lord. I'm afraid that ordinary outer disciples won't be able to find out!"
"That's reasonable. But our main task is to send the invitation card back to Lingering Fragrance Peak and have Martial Uncle Xue Zhen busy!"
"Hmm, we'll do as you say. I'll leave this task to you!"
"Ah?
You can't do it? "
"Of course I can't. I don't know where the disciples of Incense Cult are in Vow City!"
Zhang Xiaohua said with conviction.
"You win!" Meng glared at him.
…
At the same time, in the northwest direction of Worry City, there was a continuous stretch of lakes of various sizes that were connected to each other. In the middle of the large lake, there were several large docks that were also connected together. They were brightly lit, illuminating this area of water. Not far away, the reeds and other things that were exposed on the surface of the water could be seen clearly.
On the dock, in a magnificent hall, Peng Yeyu, whom Zhang Xiaohua had seen earlier, was sitting in the seat of honor. Accompanying him was an old man who looked very similar to Huang Qiang.
The old man raised his cup and said with a smile, "Young Master Peng, you've been in my Falling Star Alliance for quite some time. Are you satisfied with us?"
Peng Yeyu raised his cup and smiled gracefully, "Of course, Chief Huang's hospitality is perfect, how could I not be satisfied?" Then he looked around and asked, "Where is your young master?
This period of time has been hard on him, we have to thank him! "
Gang Leader Huang looked a little worried, but it disappeared in a flash. He said, "That brat doesn't know what's good for him. I don't know where he went. I sent several disciples to look for him, but they couldn't find him."
"Eh?
Although Young Master Huang is a little rough, but … "Peng Yeyu obviously saw the old man's worry and comforted him," Maybe he has some personal matters to attend to. He will be back in a few days! "
"Haha, that's true. This child has grown up, I have a lot to worry about. Come, Young Master Peng, let me send you off tomorrow. Please put in a good word for me in front of the Lord!"
"Of course, you're welcome!" Peng Yeyu finished his cup in one gulp.
The people in the hall also laughed. All kinds of people came forward, exchanging toasts with Peng Yeyu.
After a while, seeing that Peng Yeyu was happy, Chief Huang probed, "Young Master Peng, this old man wants to ask if it's convenient for you?"
Peng Yeyu was taken aback. He smiled and said, "Chief Huang, please go ahead. As long as it's not a secret, I will tell you everything I know."
"No ~" Chief Huang quickly shook his head, "The Lord is very gracious to us. We know that the Lord is very important, so how can we not know the severity of the matter? This old man just wants to ask if you remember the couple that my son met when he was hunting with you?"
"Those two people?"
Young Master Peng seemed to have a deep impression of this matter. He immediately frowned and asked, "Chief Huang, what do you mean?"
"Oh, it's like this."
Chief Huang chose his words carefully and said, "I heard from my brothers that after Young Master Peng met that couple, my son … searched for them … and never came back!"
"Eh?"
Peng Yeyu frowned. At first, he was dissatisfied, but then, he gradually calmed down. Then, he was surprised and said, "Could it be … that there's something wrong with that couple?"
Then, he muttered to himself, "This … is not possible!
I … "
Then, his expression changed greatly, "Could it be that they could hide from my eyes?"
"Therefore, this old man wants to confirm with Young Master Peng about the origins of these two people. My son must have died in their hands.
But I heard from my disciples that they were very young. Although my son is ridiculous, he has more than ten years of cultivation. Moreover, he brought five people with him. There's no way he would have failed! "
Peng Yeyu frowned and said, "From what I saw, those two people are exactly as Chief Huang thought. They are just two juniors who have just entered the Jianghu.
It can't be … "
Chief Huang wanted to ask more, but at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard. Someone shouted, "Chief Huang, there's an urgent report from Don't Worry City!"
Chief Huang frowned and scolded, "Can't you see that I have something important to do?
Let's talk about it tomorrow! "
"This …" When the person heard this, he was about to leave.
"Chief Huang, this is your fault. This is an urgent matter of the Falling Stars Alliance. How can you delay it because of me?" Peng Yeyu shook his head slightly.
"Ha, ha, Young Master Peng is lucky!" Chief Huang panicked, but he wasn't nervous. He waved his hand and said, "Come in and report!"
"Yes, sir." The disciple outside said urgently, "I just received an urgent report from Don't Worry City. This afternoon, Longteng Villa attacked Rejuvenation Valley but failed. An immortal suddenly appeared and killed all of them!"
"Ah???" Not only Chief Huang, but Young Master Peng's expression also changed. He said loudly, "What happened?
Tell me in detail! "
After the disciple told him the whole story, Young Master Peng frowned and said, "This is all hearsay. It doesn't count. Right, where are the people of Longteng Villa?
Were they all killed?
No one was left alive? "
"Villa Lord Longteng and other experts were all killed. Many of the disciples also escaped."
"Alright, Chief Huang. Since something happened in Don't Worry City, I can't rush back. I'll go to Don't Worry City now. Find a reliable person to go to Longteng Villa and deal with the matter there. Find someone who knows the truth and ask him about it. Then, report back to the Lord in detail!"
Chief Huang stood up and said with a serious face, "As you command, Young Master Peng."
"Alright, all good things must come to an end. This banquet is over. Chief Huang, prepare the horses. I'll go now."
"Yes, sir."
The group dispersed. They left the dock and boarded boats to the shore. Then, they rode their horses and prepared to deal with the situation.
As for the culprit, Zhang Xiaohua, she had already left Don't Worry City with Meng. They set up their tents in a forest and rested.
News traveled fast in the jianghu. In just a few days, news of immortals appearing in Don't Worry City had spread. Many people changed their plans and went to Don't Worry City to gather information.
Lingering Fragrance Peak, Don't Worry Palace. Jing Yi frowned and said to the people in the hall, "Immortals are rare in the jianghu. How can there be such a coincidence?
First, traces of immortal seniors appeared in the Ruins of Huanxu. Then, our restriction formation collapsed. Then, immortals appeared in Don't Worry City and went on a killing spree!
Is the young miss of Rejuvenation Valley really so talented?
Or is this just an excuse? "
Jing Fan said, "No matter what, the appearance of immortals in the jianghu is the beginning of chaos. It's in line with the forefathers' prophecy!"
"That's right. Although the failure of our sect-protecting formation is inevitable due to the change in the world's primordial Qi, it's also true that the primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth is gradually recovering. The rise of immortals is also an irresistible trend. The immortals must have seen some clues and appeared so they want to reap benefits in the jianghu in the future.
Since that's the case, the other great sects must have made preparations. If we don't plan ahead, we'll lose the initiative in the future! "
"Yes, I want to hear your teachings!"
"Haha, if you only think of it now, won't it be too late?
Don't worry, we've already planned ahead. We'll start now! "
"You're wise, Hierarch!"
A towering mountain peak that was shaped like a heaven-piercing sword pierced through the white clouds in the sky. There were continuous rows of houses on the mountain peak. In a magnificent hall, there was a yellow-faced old man with an uncertain expression. He frowned slightly as he looked at a disciple in front of him and said, "Is what you said true?
Did Rejuvenation Valley really get in touch with immortals? "
"Reporting to the Alliance Master, it's true. Everything this lowly one has said is true. This lowly one has seen and heard everything in Sorrow City that day!"
"Good, I'll remember your contribution. You may leave."
After the disciple left, the old man with a yellow face pondered for a long time. He raised his eyes to look at the people below and said, "Everyone, our Alliance of Righteousness started after the immortals. We don't have any inheritance to speak of, so we don't have any relationship with immortals. This immortal … we have to believe it!"
Then he hesitated and looked at a tall and thin old man beside him. He said in a low voice, "Vice Alliance Master Chai, do you remember the Evil Tiger Gang outside Ping Yang City?
That time … Vice Alliance Master Jiang disappeared mysteriously. There were only traces of fire in the underground hall. Moreover, all the lids of the jade coffins were missing.
I heard from the disciples on duty that there were only a group of men from the pugilistic world and soldiers who surrounded them. Those … hostages were rescued. They didn't take away the jade coffins. How could so many lids disappear? "
The old man also cupped his hands and said, "Alliance Master's words are reasonable. This subordinate is also thinking. I wonder … is this immortal the same person who attacked the Evil Tiger Gang?"
"Forget it, it shouldn't be."
Zhang San waved his hand, hatred in his eyes. "That bastard ruined my plans. What's the use of knowing?
Sigh, immortals, immortals … do you know about immortals? "
