Just as Qin Shengling was about to say something, Xiao Chen suddenly thought of something and said, "That's right, there's something I'd like to trouble Old Patriarch Qin with. Previously, when we arrived at the Immortal Cultivation World, we accidentally got separated from a few of our companions. Because we're unfamiliar with this place, we'd like you to help us find out if there have been any strangers in Yanlin Town recently. Do you think …"
"No problem, this is not a problem at all. Although our Qin Family is not as powerful as the Zhao Family, it is not a problem to find a few people." Before Xiao Chen finished speaking, Qin Shengling had already understood what he meant and immediately agreed.
From Qin Shengling's point of view, being able to work for Xiao Chen was a great honor. He immediately found a servant and gave a few instructions. Then, he specially instructed that they shouldn't limit themselves to Yanlin Town, and that they could also search the few nearby towns.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen also described the appearances of Yue Shaoqun and Cheng Mengying to others. Now, he could only hope that these people had not been spread too far. If they could not be found in Yanlin Town, there might be some clues in the nearby towns.
During the banquet, Xiao Chen chatted with Qin Shengling and learned that the Immortal Cultivation World used spirit crystals as the universal currency. To put it bluntly, spirit crystals were the advanced evolved version of the spirit jade that had been polished and forged in the Inner Martial Arts World.
Spirit crystals could be used as currency in the Immortal Cultivation World, and could also be used to absorb cultivation like spirit jade. However, most people would not be so extravagant. After all, the value of spirit crystals as currency was much higher than absorbing cultivation.
Spirit crystals were the same as spirit jade. There were mines everywhere that needed to be mined, but these mines were basically in the hands of large families and sects. Apart from them, other people did not have so many sources of spirit crystals at all. Some ordinary families might work hard for a year and only earn a few dozen spirit crystals, which was enough for the family's expenses for a year.
Just as Xiao Chen and Qin Shengling were chatting and exchanging cups, there was a group of people holding torches in the bushes in the outskirts of Yanlin Town that were half the height of a person, carefully searching for something.
The leader was a guy who looked like a young master. Behind him stood a big man with a full beard. At this time, the big man's expression was a little unhappy. From time to time, he would shake his legs and yell at his men who were searching around. Obviously, he was very impatient.
"Young Master Zhao, can you first tell me what mission you sent my senior brother to carry out?" The big man with a full beard seemed to finally be unable to bear it. He asked with a little anger, "He has been out for a long time, and there is no reply through the Sound Transmitting Amulet. Now we can't find him. Is there any danger?"
"How … How is that possible!" Zhao Wendeng said with an embarrassed expression, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just met a particularly arrogant guy outside today. Not only did he kill Senior Feng with one punch, but he also deliberately made a fool of me in public. So … so I wanted Guardian Zhang to teach that kid a lesson for me. I originally thought it was a very simple matter, but I didn't expect him to be gone for so long and not come back. I don't know what happened."
"What?! I remember that old thing with the surname Feng is at least at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, right? How could he be killed with one punch? Is the opponent very strong? "The big man with a full beard was stunned and asked with some doubt.
It was reasonable to say that in a small and rundown place like Yanlin Town, there were usually very few experts. Because this was only a border town, there were no heavenly treasures to be excavated, and there were no spirit crystal mines worth mining. Therefore, ordinary high-level cultivators did not like to come here. Foundation Establishment Stage was already a very awesome existence in this place.
"Uh … I didn't see that kid's strength clearly, but according to my estimation, he's at most at the fifth or sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage." Zhao Wendeng touched his nose and said vaguely, "If Guardian Zhang wants to deal with him, then it's like picking a snail with three fingers. It's in the bag!"
Seeing that the big man with a full beard was deep in thought, Zhao Wendeng did not want to mention his own embarrassing matter. He turned around and shouted at the servants, "You bunch of trash, hurry up and find him! Or else I … "
"Young Master Zhao, things are bad!" Just as Zhao Wendeng was about to get angry, a servant suddenly ran over from not far away. The expression on his face was very frightened and horrified, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Motherf * cker!" Zhao Wendeng frowned when he saw the man's reaction. He lifted his leg and kicked him to the ground. He scolded fiercely, "I'm just asking you to find someone. Why are you so flustered? You can't even do such a small thing, you're all f * cking trash! "
"No … No, Young Master Zhao, please listen to my explanation!" The servant didn't dare to rub his leg after being kicked. He covered the place where he was kicked, pointed in a certain direction, and said while panting, "We found Guardian Zhang, but … but Guardian Zhang has been beaten to death! The body is under a big tree not far ahead. Go and take a look … "
"What did you say?! He's dead? " Zhao Wendeng was stunned by the servant's report. It took him a long time to recover, and he immediately rushed in the direction the servant pointed. His heart was full of uneasiness and anxiety.
One had to know that Guardian Zhang was an expert at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Among the family's guards, apart from the Gold Core Stage consecrator, Guardian Zhang's strength was the highest. He didn't expect that he would be killed! Who was the one who did it?
When the big man with a full beard heard this, his whole body trembled. He took two steps back in disbelief, and immediately followed behind Zhao Wendeng, rushing to the scene of the incident with a face full of anger.
After walking for a short distance, Zhao Wendeng found that a few big trees in front of him had been snapped in half. There was another tree that had been smashed into the ground. The scene looked very frightening.
And under that tree, there was a man in red sitting facing the sky. His hands were hanging powerlessly on the ground, his face was ashen, and his eyes were looking in front of him with fear and listlessness. The ribs in his chest had collapsed severely, almost forming a large hole. Other than that, there were no other injuries on his body. It was obvious that he had been smashed to death by a punch.
"Senior Brother Zhang!" The big man with a full beard shouted, his voice full of grief. Then, he knelt in front of the man in red. His eyes were red as he looked at the cold corpse in front of him, and he heavily punched the ground.
It turned out that this big man was the junior brother of the man in red. The two of them were originally cultivators invited by the Zhao Family to protect the family. Usually, they were treated as distinguished guests in the Zhao Family and were used to living like princes. Usually, they bullied the weak and ate well. They were very free and unfettered. They didn't expect that their senior brother would meet such a disaster today!
