Ying Yunpeng hurriedly took his people to the East Market of the Ten Sun Market.
Streams were gurgling, green and meandering. Among the green hills and clear waters, large numbers of wooden buildings and stone houses were scattered. This was the Ten Sun Market's money-squandering den. The most beautiful women from all kinds of clans and the strongest wines from all over the world could be found here.
Of course, there were also other things that could stimulate people's primitive impulses and make them squander their money and energy on the surface and in the dark. The annual profit of this small East Market accounted for thirty percent of the Ten Sun Market.
Under a green hill, in a shallow drainage ditch, Great Gale Ling was lying at the bottom of the ditch with a weird and stiff smile on his face. His body was ice-cold, and there was not even the slightest bit of blood flow in his body. He was completely dead.
A few white-haired elderly Maguspriests were standing beside the drain, surrounded by all kinds of sensitive smelling insects and small animals, who were rushing around, trying to find any trace left by the murderer. There were also a few Senior Magi who were good at hunting and hunting, carefully patrolling the ditch, trying to find out whether Great Gale Ling had died a natural death or an assassination.
"Hehe, where's Great Gale Ling? The best archer among the young generation of the Great Gale Clan. "
"He died just like that? The elders of the Great Gale Clan are going to have a headache. "
"Normally, this guy was extremely arrogant and domineering. I don't know what happened to him during the past couple of days, he just wanted to get drunk in the East Market."
"Did his woman run away with another man? Hehe, he couldn't figure it out, so he ended it himself? "
Thousands of people were standing around, looking at Great Gale Ling with weird smiles on their faces. They were all guests of the East Market. They came from the four wastelands, and some of them were from rich families in the Midland. They weren't afraid of the power of the Ten Sun Country at all, and were excitedly making gestures towards the ditch.
Pu Ban City was a peaceful place, it was the ruling center of the alliance of human clans. Powerful warriors were everywhere in the city, and it was heavily guarded. Normally, it would be hard for a murder to happen in this city. The Ten Sun Market was the territory of the Ten Sun Country. Everyone in the world knew that the archers of the Ten Sun Country were the sharpest, and it was almost impossible to sneak into the Ten Sun Market without being noticed.
Great Gale Ling was also a famous warrior among the young generation of the Ten Sun Country, and he was quite powerful in the Pu Ban City. He had led the Ten Sun Country's young warriors to many different scale conflicts with people from other clans.
Such a talented young man suddenly died in a small ditch, which was less than a foot deep. without a doubt, this was a heavy slap on the face of the entire Ten Sun Country.
Many people were gloatingly enjoying Ying Yunpeng's misfortune. No matter whether they could find out who the murderer was or not, Ying Yunpeng and the Ten Sun Country behind him had already been utterly humiliated.
The exasperated Ying Yunpeng hurried over with his men, not even bothering to investigate the destruction of the fleet. Although the goods transported by the ten giant merchant ships were huge, since they had already been lost, then so be it.
Besides, only the core members of the Ten Sun Country knew about this. As long as the outsiders didn't know about it, the Ten Sun Country would be able to keep its face.
However, Great Gale Ling had been killed in the eastern market of the Ten Sun Market, right under the eyes and ears of countless guards of the Ten Sun Country. If they didn't find out the truth as soon as possible and kill the murderer in the cruelest way possible, the reputation of the Ten Sun Country would suffer a severe blow.
After all, Great Gale Ling's death had been witnessed by so many people.
Ying Yunpeng angrily walked to the ditch, waved his pair of long arms, and yelled, "What the hell happened?"
Ying Yunpeng actually wanted to find an excuse, such as, Great Gale Ling was suffering from an old disease, which suddenly broke out. This would be a cover, so that people wouldn't question the power of the Ten Sun Market, or even the Ten Sun Country. But, Great Gale Ling was a Senior Magus. What kind of disease could a Senior Magus have?
Senior Magi were creatures that were immune to all kinds of diseases, and could live for thousands of years. A young and strong Senior Magus had died, which must have been caused by an external force, and couldn't be caused by himself. Ying Yunpeng wanted to find an excuse, but, he couldn't find one.
Therefore, Ying Yunpeng could only yell at those Maguspriests and Senior Magi, who were investigating the cause of Great Gale Ling's death.
An elderly Maguspriest quickly walked up, politely and deeply bowed to Ying Yunpeng, and said, "Elder Yunpeng, we've roughly found out what happened."
More and more people walked up to Ying Yunpeng and reported what they had seen and heard. Among these people were the waiters of the tavern who had been drinking with Great Gale Ling, the young girls who had been playing with Great Gale Ling in the tavern, and the warriors of the non-humankind, who had played a few rounds of dice with Great Gale Ling and lost thousands of jade coins.
Ever since the day Great Gale Ling was poisoned and ran back to the Ten Sun Market, he had been drinking in the tavern. Every day, he would be drunk, and would even stagger when he walked. Besides, he had been extremely unlucky when he gambled with other people. For the past few days, he had lost tens of thousands of jade coins every single day, and had almost lost all of his savings in the Pu Ban City.
Besides, he had also had conflicts with young men from other rich families for the sake of a few young girls who had been drinking with him. Once, he had almost fought against them to death.
Today, Great Gale Ling had also lost over three thousand jade coins, and his pocket was completely empty. He yelled at the tavern owner to keep the bill, then walked out of the tavern with a strong smell of alcohol. At that time, everyone had seen Great Gale Ling walk out of the tavern alone, and walk down the hill along the flagstone path.
After about a quarter of an hour, when someone had found Great Gale Ling, he had already died in the canal.
During this whole process, not a single sound of fighting had been heard, not even a single trace of power vibration had been detected. Even the Ten Sun Country's fighting birds, which were patrolling in the air, hadn't noticed anything strange.
A Senior Magus leapt out of the canal, handed a thumb-sized scorpion tail to Ying Yunpeng with a sullen face.
"Elder, Great Gale Ling must have lost his balance after drinking too much, and fell into the canal. A poisonous scorpion tail like this was buried in the white sand of the canal, and it pierced right into the back of his head. The scorpion's poison paralyzed all of his power and spirit blood, which made him suffocated and suffocated him to death. "
The Senior Magus looked at Ying Yunpeng with an extremely weird expression, and said, "There's no trace of anyone doing this, it's just that... he was unlucky, and fell into the canal, and this scorpion tail happened to fall into it."
A Maguspriest said in a hoarse voice, "Judging by the appearance of this broken tail, it must have been soaked in the water for over a month... It's not a temporary thing, it must have been in this canal for a long time."
Ying Yunpeng opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say a word.
The poison of this scorpion tail wasn't very strong, and to a Senior Magus, if he wasn't drunk, this little bit of poison wouldn't be able to kill him.
However, Great Gale Ling was drunk, and fell into the canal, and hit his head on the broken tail. The scorpion's poison had entered his body, mixed with the power of alcohol, and caused a promising young man to suffocate to death.
"How am I going to explain this to the leader of the Great Gale Clan?!" Ying Yunpeng yelled out in anger, "How am I supposed to explain this to him?!"
Another Senior Magus rushed over from afar, and screamed hoarsely,
"Elder, Ying Yun fell down from his fighting bird... fell, fell to his death!"
Everyone was shocked, and looked at Ying Yunpeng, whose face had suddenly turned deathly pale.
