The market was a place where good and bad mixed together. Not only were there a large number of disciples from the three pavilions, but there were also a large number of rogue cultivators.
If the murderer was a disciple from the three pavilions, then it would not be difficult to find the real culprit after a little investigation. However, if it was a rogue cultivator, then it would be very difficult to find the culprit!
But what was surprising was that Nan Tianyong, a key figure in a key position, was killed in the territory of the Three Great Pavilions. Everyone was just discussing it out of boredom, and it didn't cause any strong cries. No one deliberately created public opinion to pressure the higher-ups of the Three Great Pavilions to find the real culprit as soon as possible.
Nan Tianyong, the supervisor of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, had a poor relationship with others.
Because of the widespread attention, the higher-ups of the Soaring Sky Pavilion had already come forward to investigate this matter. The nature of this matter could not be said to be bad. If they did not even care about Nan Tianyong, a person with a high status, being killed in his own territory, then where would the prestige of the Soaring Sky Pavilion be? How would they be able to convince the public in the future?
However, although the Law Enforcement Hall had registered this matter, they did not make any targeted big movements. It was rather cold for a period of time. After everyone had forgotten about it, they would put it on the shelf.
In the world of cultivation that was filled with fighting and killing, the death of a person was a common occurrence. Unless it was a massacre like the one in the Highwater Manor where thousands of people died, it would affect the interests of certain people. Only then would a large number of people be involved.
This time, if Nan Tianyong's identity as the supervisor of the Soaring Sky Pavilion was not a little sensitive, the higher-ups would not pay attention to him at all. If he died, then he died. There was nothing to be surprised about.
However, under the premise that there was no special greeting from the higher-ups, the Law Enforcement Hall was just going through the motions. In the words of the current Law Enforcement Hall Master, Ram Jie, the Law Enforcement Hall was not bored enough to seek justice for the weak. Only the big figures of the big forces. That was the real target they needed to keep an eye on.
In the eyes of most ordinary cultivators, Nan Tianyong was already a high and mighty figure. However, in the eyes of Ram Jie, he was no different from ordinary people at the bottom. He was just a lowly ant, and there was no need to waste energy on him.
"Sure enough, if I want to give Boss a satisfactory explanation, I'll have to do it myself." The South-Heaven Gate had expected this to happen. After being in the Soaring Sky Pavilion for so long, it was impossible for them to not know what the authorities and the Disciplinary Hall were like. Then he would have wasted his time.
However, he did not wait in vain for the past three days. After all, apart from observing the situation, he had to prepare a trump card if he wanted to personally make a trip to the Hong Chamber of Commerce. And now, he had been waiting for this trump card.
After calling Yu Zhe, the Southern Heavenly Gate immediately headed to the market square. However, he was different from Nan Tianyong. He had his own spirit jade card, so bringing Yu Zhe in was not a problem.
Arriving in front of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, the Southern Heavenly Gate didn't say a word. With a cold expression, he strode in, while Yu Zhe followed closely behind.
The manservant at the entrance of the Hong Chamber of Commerce immediately sensed that something was wrong. Then, he glanced at Yu Zhe. He immediately understood.
Although he didn't know who the Southern Sky Gate was, Yu Zhe had been coming to the Hong Chamber of Commerce quite a few times recently. Moreover, the recent disturbances were all because of him. If the manservant still couldn't recognize him, then it would be a waste of the Hong Chamber of Commerce's painstaking training.
"Where's your shopkeeper?" The Southern Heavenly Gate did not even look at the manservant. He curled his lips and said condescendingly.
The three heroes of the Nan Family were used to being arrogant. Even as smart as he was, he was no exception. He had never been nice to his subordinates. Furthermore, even if it was for the purpose of coming here today, he had to be arrogant.
Disregarding everything else, he had to first suppress the other party with his aura. Otherwise, with the cunning nature of these merchants, there was no way he could pry the truth out of their mouths.
To be honest, after seeing the Southern Heavenly Gate's behavior, Yu Zhe, who was following behind him, was somewhat panicking.
Not only did his cheap master, Nan Tianyong, suffer from the terror of the Hong Chamber of Commerce's guest chamberlains, even he himself had personally experienced it. Although it was only for a short moment, it was enough to make him tremble in fear.
Although the Southern Heavenly Gate was very strong, even stronger than Nan Tianyong, who was at the peak of the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Yu Zhe did not think that he would be able to gain any advantage over the Hong Chamber of Commerce's guest chamberlains. Even if he was not inferior to the other party in a one-on-one fight, it was not like the other party only had one guest chamberlain!
Although he was on tenterhooks, Yu Zhe knew that he had no right to criticize the Southern Heavenly Gate. Furthermore, the Southern Heavenly Gate was not a simple person. If he did not have someone to rely on, he would not do something so stupid.
After a while, the two of them were invited to a private room on the second floor by the manservant. This time, to Yu Zhe's surprise, the shopkeeper Hong Zhong, who was always polite to everyone, did not stand up to welcome them.
"May I know what the two of you have come for?" Hong Zhong sat on a wooden armchair and drank a cup of high quality tea while looking at the two of them. He said calmly, "The Hong Chamber of Commerce sincerely welcomes any guest. However, if you are here to cause trouble, then forgive me for not seeing you off. Don't ask for trouble."
As a businessman, Hong Zhong had always welcomed guests from all over the world with a smile. However, he had never been kind to guests who had obviously come with ill intentions.
As one of the top Chamber of Commerce on the Five Great Islands, if the Hong Chamber of Commerce was too arrogant, people would say that they were bullying their customers. However, Hong Zhong knew that he had to be tough sometimes. He even had to make a show of his power every once in a while.
Otherwise, if he only knew how to be patient, it would make people think that he was weak and easy to bully. They would then climb all over him and cause him endless trouble. It might even affect the impression other customers had of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, which would make business difficult.
In Hong Zhong's eyes, since the two people in front of him had obviously come with ill intentions, there was no need for him to be polite. It was already very polite of him to send them off with tea. If the two of them were still so stubborn, he would have no choice but to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
"Ask for trouble?" The Southern Heavenly Gate glanced at Hong Zhong. A mere slave of a merchant dared to be so rude to him. He could not help but feel angry. He immediately laughed coldly and said, "The Hong Chamber of Commerce is quite famous. However, I'm very curious, is this how you usually treat your guests?"
