"Hall Master!"
Seeing that Zhang Zongling was sucked into the pitch-black Moon Reflecting Pavilion without even a sound, Zhang Zongling's trusted subordinates immediately panicked. They anxiously roared and rushed into the Moon Reflecting Pavilion.
The moment they entered the Moon Reflecting Pavilion, they felt that something was amiss!
At this moment, the entire Moon Reflecting Pavilion was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. It was as though this place was dead and there was no sign of life.
"Not good!"
Boundless chilliness surged in from all directions, causing the confidants to feel as though their bodies had fallen into an ice cellar. Their bodies were frozen stiff and they could no longer move.
Furthermore, they discovered an even more terrifying fact. All the sect members who had rushed into the Moon Reflecting Pavilion were now frozen on the spot like wooden puppets. In the darkness, it was eerie and terrifying.
"What exactly happened?"
The confidants mumbled to themselves with bitter smiles on their faces. However, their vision turned black and they were completely frozen on the spot as they lost consciousness.
.....
"Sir, please, please don't kill me!" Zhang Zongling knelt in front of Xiao Fan and kowtowed deeply as he pleaded with a trembling voice.
However, Xiao Fan did not even look at him as he continued to cultivate. The aura in his body continued to strengthen.
As Xiao Fan's aura continued to strengthen, Zhang Zongling began to tremble even more. This was because the sense of danger in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. His heart was pounding so hard that it was about to explode.
After a long while!
Xiao Fan finally stopped. At this moment, it was not that Xiao Fan's cultivation had ended. Instead, it was because he had absorbed all the spiritual energy in Red Rock City. The remaining spiritual energy was ordinary and it would not be effective for him to continue cultivating!
After he finished cultivating, Xiao Fan finally lowered his head and opened his eyes. He calmly looked at Zhang Zongling below him!
"Sir, please, no, if you want to kill me, let me go. Give me a way out! " Zhang Zongling could feel Xiao Fan's indifferent gaze on him. Immediately, he kowtowed deeply again and stammered as he spoke in a trembling voice.
Xiao Fan ignored Zhang Zongling's pleas. He did not open his mouth to speak. Instead, he quietly stretched out his hand. A ray of light lit up in his palm, and then he slowly pressed it on Zhang Zongling's head, whose body was trembling non-stop.
It was the Heavenly Demon Myriad Arts.
After recovering some of his strength, Xiao Fan was finally able to use this technique. However, he could only use it once because this technique required a lot of Spirit Qi.
Xiao Fan had his own reasons for taking Zhang Zongling in as a demonic seed.
At that moment, the spiritual essence in Red Rock City had been completely absorbed. However, to Xiao Fan, the strength that he had recovered was not enough. It was not enough for him to leave Red Rock City for a long journey. If he wanted to continue recovering, he could only look for those treasures.
However, Xiao Fan was not familiar with Red Rock City at all. Therefore, the fastest way to find those treasures was to find a local tyrant in Red Rock City and subdue him. This way, he would be able to find out where the treasures were in Red Rock City and who had them.
Of course, Xiao Fan could also ask Shangguan Tong, but there were some things that Xiao Fan was used to relying on himself. After all, he was not close enough with Shangguan Tong to confide in her. If he asked Shanghai Tong about these things, even if Shanghai Tong knew about it and told him about it. Unknowingly, Xiao Fan would owe Shangguan Tong another favor!
What was the hardest debt in the world to repay? A debt of gratitude!
Therefore, after considering the situation, Xiao Fan took Zhang Zongling in as a demonic seed and used him to help him find those treasures in Red Rock City.
A moment later!
"Sir!" A strange red light flashed across Zhang Zongling's eyes as he stood up. He said respectfully to Xiao Fan.
"Go, try your best to find as many as you can. If you can't find any, inform me and I will think of a way myself!" Xiao Fan instructed.
"Yes!" Zhang Zongling nodded, and without another word, he walked out.
At the same time, the murderous aura in the Moon Reflecting Pavilion suddenly disappeared and Zhang Zongling's subordinates instantly regained their senses.
"Hall Master!"
Seeing Zhang Zongling come down unscathed, all of the Green Gang members and Zhang Zongling's trusted subordinates were stunned. They did not have time to think and hurriedly called out.
"Withdraw your troops, all of you return!" Zhang Zongling's expression was indifferent as he said plainly.
"Yes, Hall Master!" The ordinary gang members were all very surprised. However, they could only listen to orders and did not have the right to ask questions. Therefore, they did not say much and all of them nodded and walked out.
"Hall Master, are we leaving just like that?" One of Zhang Zongling's trusted subordinates looked at Zhang Zongling and said hesitantly.
"What else?" Zhang Zongling looked at him plainly and said.
The subordinate looked at Zhang Zongling and for some reason, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. It was as if Zhang Zongling was a stranger that he had never met before.
However, this strange feeling came and went quickly. Therefore, the subordinate only hesitated for a moment and thought that it was just his imagination. He then ignored it and said with a bitter smile, "Hall Master, we have received benefits from Sun Zhengwei. If we return without any results, will Sun Zhengxiong and the Sun Family let us off so easily?"
"No matter!" Zhang Zongling said plainly, "I will personally explain this matter to Sun Zhengxiong and the Sun Family. The worst result is that they will have to give up a lot of benefits. Sun Zhengxiong and the Sun Family won't dare to kill me!"
"Furthermore, I'm one of the top ten disciples of the Qing Gang's leader. My branch is the most profitable branch in the Qing Gang. If something happens to me, the leader and the elders in the gang will definitely not sit idly by!"
"That's true!" Zhang Zongling's subordinate immediately nodded and said.
"Okay, about today's matter, you tell everyone. No one will say anything unnecessary. Just pretend that nothing happened. Do you understand?" Zhang Zongling said coldly.
"Understood!" The subordinate thought that Zhang Zongling was afraid that he would return without any results and be embarrassed after being scared away by Xiao Fan. Therefore, he issued a gag order to cover up his embarrassment. He immediately nodded and said.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Zongling walked straight out and his subordinates hurriedly followed. Then, the group of people completely disappeared into the night.
.....
Not long after Zhang Zongling and the rest left, another group of figures appeared around the Moon Reflecting Restaurant. However, this group of figures did not have any killing intent. They were Shangguan Tong and the Red Rock City's City Guards.
"Young Miss, this, what is going on? Why did Zhang Zongling and the rest leave so quickly? Could it be that they have succeeded? " One of the three commanders of the Red Rock City's City Guards, Commander Zheng, looked suspiciously at Zhang Zongling and the rest and asked Shangguan Tong who was beside him.
Although Shangguan Tong went to the City Guards' barracks early in the morning, the movement of the City Guards could not be hidden from the various factions in Red Rock City, especially the Sun Family. Therefore, under the agreement of Sun Zhengxiong and the Sun Family, another commander of the Red Rock City's City Guards sent troops to stop Shangguan Tong.
The two sides were at a stalemate for half a day. In the end, because Shangguan Tong threatened to start a war, the other commander of the Red Rock City's City Guards stepped aside and Shangguan Tong and the rest rushed over.
As soon as they arrived, they saw Zhang Zongling and the others retreating. Instantly, they were all stunned and stood rooted to the ground.
"No!" Shangguan Tong shook her head and said, "Sun Zhengwei's order was to take Xiao Fan's head. When Zhang Zongling left, he did not have anything on him and there were no signs of a battle. Therefore, Xiao Fan should not be dead. He should be safe and sound in the Moon Reflecting Restaurant.
"Could it be that the sun rose from the west for Zhang Zongling today? He retreated at the last moment and insisted on going against the agreement between him and Sun Zhengwei? He really dared to do that? "Commander Zheng was even more confused as he asked in shock.
"Zhang Zongling is not that kind of person, so it shouldn't be!" Shangguan Tong shook her head and said.
"This isn't it, and that isn't it. Then what exactly is the reason that made Zhang Zongling retreat on his own accord?" Commander Zheng's brows were tightly knit together as he muttered to himself.
Shangguan Tong didn't speak again, but the bewilderment in her eyes became more intense.
Xiao Fan had too many mysteries. He was like an unknown whirlpool, a bottomless black hole. No one could find out his true background.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Commander Zheng looked at Shangguan Tong and said softly, "Should we go in and take a look at Xiao Fan?"
"No need!" Shangguan Tong immediately shook her head and said, "Sometimes, we don't have to tell others when we are helping someone. If we deliberately tell others, it will show that we have ulterior motives! So, since Xiao Fan is fine, let's leave! "
"Besides, I'm afraid that today's matter can't be hidden from Xiao Fan. Maybe he already knows that we are here. We don't have to go up and tell him!"
"Understood!" Commander Zheng nodded and gave a low shout. All the soldiers behind him turned around and left in an orderly manner.
"Miss, let's go!" Commander Zheng whispered to Shangguan Tong, who was still staring at the Moon Reflecting Restaurant.
"Okay!" Shangguan Tong took one last deep look at the Moon Reflecting Restaurant. Then, without saying anything, she turned around and walked away with Commander Zheng.
