"This … I'm not sure about this either!" Elder Nangong's face was bitter as he explained helplessly, "This is only the second time I've come here! In all fairness, even if it was you, you wouldn't casually tell your family's secret passage to an outsider, right? After all, I'm just here to help. They don't have to show me their family's wealth! "
Elder Nangong didn't lie about this. In his opinion, the Immortal Cultivation World was a place where strength was important. Only strength was the standard to measure a person's value. Therefore, Elder Nangong was usually busy with cultivation or in seclusion in the Sect. He had no time to care about other things.
This time, if it wasn't because the Great Leader had found him and asked him to help with this matter, and he owed him a big favor, Elder Nangong wouldn't have specially come out of the Sect. He didn't expect that he would suffer such a big setback because of Xiao Chen.
After leaving the Sect with the disciples, Elder Nangong followed the Great Leader's order and came here once. Therefore, he only knew that this place was the Young Leader's headquarters. After accepting the task here, he went straight to the Burning Sky Faction. As for the other situation in this place, he was really ignorant and didn't know anything.
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze any information out of Elder Nangong, Xiao Chen's anxiety didn't decrease. Instead, it became more intense. However, there was nothing he could do.
The anxious Xiao Chen simply carried Elder Nangong and walked to the gate of the house. Then, he stared at the empty sign and ordered in his sea of consciousness, "Little Nethery, burn this house for me! Don't let it affect other places! "
"Yes!" The Flame of the Underworld appeared in Xiao Chen's palm with a "hu" sound. Then, it leaped into the air and instantly split into a dozen bluish-purple flames. They circled above the house for a while and then fell down like rain. In an instant, all the houses and buildings in this house were ignited.
Although Xiao Chen had purposely instructed the Fire of the Underworld not to burn other buildings, there were still quite a few houses near this house. Moreover, most of them seemed to be empty, because even until the entire house was burnt to ashes, no one came out to take a look, or ran over to extinguish the fire.
After the Fire of the Underworld completed its task and returned to Xiao Chen's body, Xiao Chen stared at Elder Nangong and pondered for a while. He raised his hand slightly and used his Divine Sense to quietly place a Divine Sense Imprint on him.
In just a breath's time, Xiao Chen was done. He looked at the Nangong Elder, who did not notice anything, and instructed indifferently, "Forget it. Just by looking at you, I can tell that you are a simple-minded fool. There is no point in keeping you around. Before I change my mind, quickly scram!"
"What did you say? I … I can really go now? You're not kidding, are you? "Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Elder Nan Gong suddenly froze and asked stutteringly.
Elder Nan Gong had always thought that Xiao Chen would vent his anger on him for not being able to find the person. He did not expect that Xiao Chen would let him go so easily. For a moment, he was at a loss.
"Nonsense, you still don't want to go, right? Why, do you want this Immortal to send you off with my flying sword? " Xiao Chen directly took out his flying sword and looked at Elder Nan Gong coldly. He said impatiently.
"No, no … no need! I can go by myself, you … I appreciate the Immortal's kindness. I'll take my leave now, take my leave! "Elder Nan Gong trembled in fear and did not dare to ask anything more. He immediately turned around and fled for his life.
In the process of fleeing, Elder Nan Gong would occasionally glance behind him from the corner of his eyes, afraid that Xiao Chen would suddenly change his mind and give him another slap. Only after he had fled for a long distance and saw that Xiao Chen still did not make any move, Elder Nan Gong finally relaxed and hurriedly ran in the direction of his own sect.
Xiao Chen stared at Elder Nan Gong's back without moving. His expression was calm and he did not seem to have any strange thoughts.
He had already thought about it. Although this old man did not know anything, he could still be considered as a bait. If that so-called Young Master knew that Elder Nan Gong was still alive, it was very likely that he would take the initiative to find Elder Nan Gong to understand the situation.
If he could use Elder Nan Gong to catch this' big fish ', it would be much more convenient than blindly searching for the other party!
Therefore, Xiao Chen naturally would not choose to kill Elder Nan Gong. Instead, he placed a spiritual sense imprint on his body and allowed him to leave on his own.
After Elder Nan Gong had completely disappeared, Xiao Chen turned around and left the ruined residence, returning to the inn where Hong Zhu was staying.
After entering the inn, Xiao Chen did not immediately go to his room to meet up with Hong Zhu. Instead, he stood at the counter and called for a waiter.
"Good day, Sir! What can I do for you? "The waiter immediately ran over and asked with a face full of smiles.
Xiao Chen casually took out a few spirit crystals that he had brought from Burning Heaven Faction and stuffed them into the waiter's hands. He then casually said in a seemingly unintentional manner, "It's nothing big, I just have a few questions that I would like to ask you."
"Aiyo, Sir, you are too polite!" The waiter's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the spirit crystals. He hastily received them and stuffed them into his bosom. The smile on his face became even more sincere as he said, "Please do not hesitate to ask. As long as this waiter knows, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and asked, "I would like to ask, have any strangers appeared in your town recently?"
"Strangers …" The waiter carefully recalled for a moment before he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes. A few hours ago, an unfamiliar beauty just happened to stay in our inn. That girl was very beautiful, and she looked unfamiliar. I don't think she has been here before!"
"A few hours ago?" Xiao Chen was stunned. Wasn't that Hong Zhu? He could only wave his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry as he said, "That girl was with me. What I am asking is, have there been any strangers who have been here in the past one or two months?"
"In the past one or two months?" The waiter blinked his eyes and frowned in deep thought for a while. Finally, he shook his head and said, "There don't seem to be any strangers who have appeared in our town during that period of time. The one who looked the most unfamiliar should be you …"
"Is that so …" Xiao Chen fell into a somewhat regretful silence for a while before he continued to ask, "Then do you know if there are any relatively powerful forces or clans in your vicinity?"
"Oh, there are! Sir, are you looking for information or are you looking for someone? " The waiter's spirit was roused. He immediately nodded his head heavily and said, "The most famous place in our town is the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in Fallen Leaf Town in the east. I was fortunate enough to go there once before. The place is huge, and it's really imposing! There is … "
