"Hmm … according to what you said, Xiao Qiang should be quite powerful!" After knowing that the bag contained spiritual crystals, Sect Leader Guan did not seem to care too much. He only nodded slightly and asked with a sullen face, "Has your Chamber of Commerce gotten hold of Xiao Qiang's information? Which sect is he from, and what is his relationship with the Qin Family of Yan Lin Town? "
For a mid-tier sect like the Tranquil Forest Sect, although spirit crystals were a very important resource, mid-tier Gold Core Stage experts were even more rare talents. The amount of money and resources needed to cultivate a Gold Core Stage expert had already far exceeded these ten thousand spirit crystals. That was why Sect Leader Guan was so depressed and wanted to know the background of the murderer.
"This … We are still investigating." Liu Huaishui smiled sheepishly and said awkwardly, "However, the other party's current attitude is very rude and unreasonable. It may affect the progress of the investigation. So this time, I am here to communicate with the Secluded Forest Sect and see how we should handle this!"
"What do you mean by that?" Sect Leader Guan raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Huaishui as he asked, "Isn't it the duty of the Dada Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce to investigate the other party's background? Why do you want to communicate with us? "
"It's like this." Liu Huaishui explained unhurriedly, "Our Chamber of Commerce is deeply saddened by Senior Guan's passing and can understand the Tranquil Forest Sect's eagerness to capture the murderer. Because we do not have many people now, if you hand it over to us to investigate, it may take more time …"
"You mean … you want the Tranquil Forest Sect to assist you in the investigation?" Sect Leader Guan's mind was very sharp and he understood Liu Huaishui's intention immediately.
"If the Tranquil Forest Sect is willing to send another expert, that would be the best." Liu Huaishui smiled and nodded. "On one hand, he can go to the Zhao Family and continue to serve as a priest and receive the remuneration he deserves. On the other hand, he can also assist our people to investigate Xiao Qiang's identity and background."
"I see …" Sect Leader Guan rubbed his temples. After thinking for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "How about this, I will send another Golden Core expert to the Zhao Family to continue Guan Weicai's work!"
Liu Huaishui's expression changed slightly. When he was about to say something, Sect Leader Guan's expression suddenly turned serious. He stared at Liu Huaishui and added coldly, "But your people can't stay idle. This time, you have to ensure his safety! If anything happens to our master, it won't be as simple as compensating the Spiritual Crystals! "
"Sect Leader Guan, if I may be so bold as to say … I'm afraid an expert at the peak of the Gold Core stage is not qualified for this job." Liu Huaishui shook his head and said helplessly with a bitter face.
"Incompetent? Do you know what you're saying? " Sect Master Guan thought that Liu Huaishui was trying to bargain and ask for a stronger person to be sent out. His face darkened and he felt a little displeased.
"To be honest, Sect Leader Guan, one of my two bodyguards is a master at the peak of the Gold Core stage, and the other has reached the realm of half a step to the Yuanying stage!" Liu Huaishui's expression was a little bitter.
"You mean …" Sect Leader Guan was stunned. His astonished gaze shifted to the two people standing behind Liu Huaishui.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, Liu Huaishui still sighed and told the truth, "Yes, the two of them suffered a loss at the hands of that Xiao Qiang. So, I suggest that you send someone more powerful, or else …"
Liu Huaishui did not finish his sentence. Instead, he smiled helplessly and made an expression that said 'you know what I mean'.
"That's impossible, right?! Even an immortal cultivator who is half a step to the Yuanying stage is no match for him?! " Although Sect Leader Guan had a vague premonition in his heart, he was still very shocked when he heard Liu Huaishui admit it personally. He stared at the two bodyguards in a daze.
Liu Huaishui did not say much. He directly gestured for the two bodyguards behind him to show their cultivation to prove to Sect Leader Guan that what he said was true.
Sect Leader Guan frowned. Suddenly, he recalled Director Liu's description and made a firm judgment. "It seems that the person whom the Qin Clan invited is at least an expert at the first level of the Yuanying stage. Your minds must have been controlled by his mental strength. That's why you killed each other!"
The two bodyguards nodded their heads bitterly. After they left the Qin Clan, they analyzed the situation and concluded that it should be so. After all, after reaching the Yuanying stage, an immortal cultivator's mental strength would be very strong. Therefore, they would be controlled at the same time and act involuntarily.
Sect Leader Guan suddenly stood up and paced back and forth anxiously. His expression was a little grave. According to his understanding, there were not many Yuanying stage experts in the Liuxian prefecture. The sects that had such experts were even rarer. Including his own Tranquil Forest Sect, there were only two of them. The other sect was the Burning Sky Faction, which was the sworn enemy of the Tranquil Forest Sect in the Liuxian prefecture!
Could it be … that Xiao Qiang was one of them? But why would the Burning Sky Faction send an Yuanying stage expert to Yan Lin Town for no reason? This did not make sense!
"Sect Leader Guan, I have already said what I need to say." Seeing that Sect Leader Guan was deep in thought for a long time, Liu Huaishui's expression did not look good. He said coldly, "If you insist on sending a Golden Core Full Circle disciple to the Zhao Clan, then I advise you not to do so. This will damage the reputation of our Chamber of Commerce. Secondly, it will be a wasted sacrifice of a disciple. There is absolutely no need for this."
"Oh … this is a serious matter. I need to consider it carefully." Sect Leader Guan still could not figure out the connection between the Yuanying stage expert and the Burning Sky Faction. Hearing this, he could only give a vague answer.
"Alright, then you should consider it carefully. Give me an answer after you have thought it through. I will take my leave first!" Seeing that Sect Leader Guan did not agree after a long time, Liu Huaishui was also a little impatient. He simply stood up, cupped his hands, and left the Tranquil Forest Sect with his subordinates.
After sending Liu Huaishui off, Sect Leader Guan did not leave the guest hall. He still sat there, deep in thought.
It was not that he did not believe in Liu Huaishui's words. It was just that the highest level that the Tranquil Forest Sect could freely dispatch was only a Golden Core Full Circle disciple. The cultivation of the others was not even worth mentioning. Even if they were to go, they would only be sending themselves to death as cannon fodder.
But if he did not send anyone to the Zhao Clan, then not only would he not be able to avenge Guan Weicai, if news of this were to spread, the prestige of the sect would definitely be damaged!
After all, the Tranquil Forest Sect was one of the two main sects in the Liuxian Prefecture. If his disciple was killed for no reason and he, as the Sect Leader, turned a blind eye to it, he was afraid that he would not be able to stay in the Liuxian Prefecture anymore!
