"Hehe, how is it? Have you thought it through? "
Young Master Evil Spirit was like a ghost. He walked into the room with an evil smile and looked at Shen Lang mockingly.
Shen Lang stood up with the help of his weapon case and looked at Young Master Evil Spirit with a grave expression. Although this Young Master Evil Spirit looked crazy and strange, his strength was not to be underestimated.
Seeing that Shen Lang did not speak, Young Master Evil Spirit's expression turned hideous. "Lad, go and die then."
Boom!
A cold aura instantly filled the entire room. The Evil Spirit Palm struck toward Shen Lang violently.
"Three Parts of the World."
Shen Lang mobilized his inner force and used the Three Parts Divine Finger.
Boom!
A huge palm glowing with green light collided with a ball that looked like it was mixed with water vapor.
With a loud boom, the house that the two of them were in shattered and collapsed.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Shen Lang leaped and shot into the distance.
Young Master Evil Spirit casually smashed a piece of rock and looked at Shen Lang's back view with a hideous expression. He looked up at the sky and roared, his voice surging into the clouds.
In an instant, all the martial artists in Ping City sat up from their beds.
Bang!
Shen Lang's door was knocked open. Gao Jianli looked at the empty room with an ugly expression.
"Can you find him?"
The Enchanted Moon asked with a frown.
"It's difficult. This rain has removed all traces."
Gao Jianli and the rest heard the sharp whistle and woke up. Then, the Enchanted Moon found them and said that she could not sense Shen Lang's aura. Gao Jianli and the other two hurried to Shen Lang's room to check.
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Qi, Yan Tian, and the rest also walked out. When they saw Gao Jianli and the other two standing at the door of Shen Lang's room, they asked curiously.
"Young Master is missing."
Gao Jianli said coldly.
Zhao Qi and Yan Tian's instinctive reaction was to be happy. But when they saw Yao Yue's cold face, they suppressed their thoughts.
Zhao Qi coughed and said slowly, "Do you need me to send someone to look for him?"
"Thank you, Commander. I'll have to trouble you then."
Gao Jianli cupped his fists and thanked him.
"Haha, Brother Gao, you don't have to be so polite." Zhao Qi valued Shenlang's subordinates very much. If nothing unexpected happened, the next issue of the Ranking List of Young Masters would have Gao Jianli and the others' names.
If something really happened to Shenlang, he wanted to try and see if he could get Gao Jianli and the others to work for the imperial court. At that time, he would definitely gain great benefits.
Zhao Qi tilted his head and winked at a middle-aged man behind him. The man understood and left.
Gao Jianli and the others didn't expect Zhao Qi to be of much help. The three of them looked at each other and rushed out of the inn, searching in three different directions.
Looking at the figures of Gao Jianli and the other two, Zhao Qi and Yan Tian fell into deep thought. No one knew what they were scheming.
Shenlang vomited blood as he walked. When he was fighting with the Evil Spirit Young Master, he had suffered serious internal injuries. He could no longer suppress them. Looking at the dark alley in front of him, which was like a ferocious beast that was about to devour him, Shenlang slowly fainted.
The rain continued to fall and seemed to be getting heavier. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed in the sky, as if announcing this unjust night.
After Shenlang fainted, a pair of embroidered shoes appeared beside Shenlang. The shoes were white and flawless, and there was a lotus flower embroidered on the tip of the shoes. A woman sighed. Then, a white figure flashed past, and Shenlang, who was lying on the ground, disappeared.
…
The next morning, a piece of news appeared, causing the entire Ping City to fall into chaos.
The Ying Family, a famous family in the martial arts world of Ping City, was exterminated overnight. From the elderly to the infants, not a single one of them was left alive. Their methods were extremely cruel and ruthless.
For a time, everyone in the streets, alleys, restaurants, and teahouses were discussing this matter.
Zhao Qi and the others sat at a table and frowned as they listened to the discussions around them.
"Commander Zhao, what do you think?" Yan Tian put down his wine cup and asked slowly.
Zhao Qi muttered to himself, "This should have something to do with the howl last night, but I don't know if it has anything to do with Shenlang."
Yan Tian nodded. "It's most likely related. After all, Shenlang went missing and the Ying Family was also exterminated."
"Yes, but it shouldn't be Shenlang's doing. I still have some impression of the Ying Family. The old master of the Ying Family, Ying Xisheng, is at the peak of the late stage of the Xiantian Realm. Among them, the Ying Family also has a few guests at the late stage of the Xiantian Realm. If it wasn't for the Void Transformation Stage experts, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for no one to survive." Zhao Qi pondered.
"There's only one possibility, and that's that there are many enemies and their cultivation levels are very high. However, if that's the case, the Ping City's Embroidered Uniform Guards should have received the news. They shouldn't have not sensed it at all."
"It's definitely not the Void Transformation Stage. We can definitely feel it when a Void Realm expert makes a move. Last night, I didn't feel it at all. It should be a Void Transformation Stage expert who made a move. This means that the people who came should all be in the Xiantian Realm. In my opinion, Commander Zhao should ask the Ping City's City Lord." Yan Tian looked at Zhao Qi, who had an ugly expression on his face, with a smile that was not a smile.
At this moment, both of them knew that there must be a problem with Ping City's intelligence department. Although Ping City was not under Zhao Qi's control, there were some problems that he had to understand.
After Zhao Qi and Yan Tian parted ways, he brought his men to a very ordinary courtyard with an ugly expression.
When the old man who opened the door saw Zhao Qi, his expression changed. "Subordinate Lin Ping greets Commander Zhao."
"Alright, get up."
Zhao Qi stepped into the courtyard and said calmly.
"Tell me. What exactly is going on? "
The old man laughed bitterly. "Commander Zhao, you really can't blame me. We received news of those people long ago, but we couldn't report it."
"Hmm?" Zhao Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man, waiting for him to give an answer.
The old man looked around warily and said carefully, "Evil Spirit Sect."
"What? Evil Spirit Sect? "Zhao Qi's expression suddenly changed, and his expression turned ugly.
"That's right. Sir, it's not like you don't know. Back then, after the Evil Spirit Sect and the White Lotus Society joined forces to fight against the empire, His Majesty issued an order not to have any conflicts with the Evil Spirit Sect and the White Lotus Society."
The old man said with a bitter smile.
Zhao Qi nodded. He knew how terrifying the White Lotus Society and the Evil Spirit Sect were. Back then, when the first Qian Wu Great Emperor established the empire, there were many suspicious points. For example, the Evil Spirit Sect and the White Lotus Society did not stand up against the Qian Wu Great Emperor.
It was not just the two sects. Even the Tenryū Temple and the three sects did not stand up. Only the four sects and five clans, as well as a few demonic sects, stood up. Everyone said that the Tenryū Temple was actually afraid of the Qian Wu Great Emperor. However, after the Evil Spirit Sect and the White Lotus Society joined forces to fight against the Qian Wu Great Emperor, the world realized that the 21 great forces of the Zhenwu Continent were definitely unfathomable.
Of course, there were also wise people who guessed why these forces did not work together to stop the establishment of the Qian Wu Empire back then. There was a saying, "There is no eternal dynasty, only eternal aristocratic families."
It meant that the dynasty was not eternal, but the clans and sects were eternal.
After knowing that it was done by the Evil Spirit Sect and the others, Zhao Qi did not care anymore. However, he seemed to have thought of something. "Do you know if anyone else was involved at that time?"
The old man lowered his head and thought for a moment. His eyes lit up, and he slowly said, "If you're talking about others, there really were. I remember that one of them was the eldest son of the Ying family, Ying Changkong. As for the other person, I don't know who he is. I only know that he used a golden saber and fought with the Evil Spirit Young Master. In the end, that person seemed to have been injured and disappeared."
"As expected …!"
Zhao Qi muttered to himself. He knew that the person who used the golden saber must be Shenlang. However, what surprised him was that Shenlang could actually escape from the Evil Spirit Young Master. One had to know that the Evil Spirit Young Master was a famous genius on the Man Roll. If not for his low cultivation level, he would probably have a place in the top ten.
