Faced with Xiao Fan's interrogation, Zhao Chi's entire body trembled. His body trembled nonstop. Although he wanted to say something, he was unable to say anything due to the immense fear.
"My patience is limited. Last three breaths. If you don't speak, then die!" Xiao Fan spoke again. He looked at Zhao Chi in his hand and said in an extremely flat tone.
"Zhao Zilong, he, he is not in our Mist Paradise!" Zhao Chi finally opened his mouth and said with great difficulty.
"Not in your Mist Cave Heaven?" Xiao Fan's dark eyes suddenly flickered with a cold light. Then, he immediately tightened his grip. His fingers dug into Zhao Chi's neck as he spoke slowly.
Zhao Chi immediately felt like he was going to suffocate to death. His face was filled with pain as he spoke with great difficulty.
"Where is Zhao Zilong now?" Xiao Fan asked again. His voice became even more ghastly.
"He, he was taken away by a lord of the Zuoqiu family!" Zhao Chi said with great difficulty.
"The Zuoqiu family?" Hearing Zhao Chi's words, Xiao Fan immediately frowned. Then, he temporarily loosened his grip on Zhao Chi's hand and said in a serious voice.
"Cough, cough, cough!" After being released by Xiao Fan, Zhao Chi immediately coughed repeatedly. After he finished coughing, he continued to speak with a trembling body. "Because the Five Elements Sect made friends with an unknown powerful force, their strength skyrocketed and broke the balance between our Mist Paradise and the Five Elements Sect. Therefore, our Mist Paradise could only drink poison to quench our thirst. We also looked for external help. In the end, we found a lord of the Zuoqiu family!"
"Last night, this lord of the Zuoqiu family came to our Mist Paradise to discuss important matters with us. In the end, he unexpectedly saw Zhao Zilong who was captured by us. He immediately seemed to have great interest in Zhao Zilong and proposed to take Zhao Zilong away!"
"Although we didn't want to, we couldn't afford to offend the Zuoqiu family. After all, even if our Mist Paradise has two trump cards that can block three or four Six Transformations cultivators, we definitely can't block more than ten Six Transformations cultivators. Therefore, we could only bear the pain and let this lord of the Zuoqiu family take Zhao Zilong away after the discussion!"
"Therefore, Zhao Zilong is indeed not in our Mist Cave!"
"Zuoqiu Family?" Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes and softly muttered.
Just like the Zhan Wuzong, the Cloud Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the Sacred Flame Sect, and the Man Long Army, the Zuoqiu Family was a third-tier superpower in the Greencloud Lower Province.
According to the overall ranking of strength, the Zuoqiu Family was only slightly stronger than the Cloud Dragon Chamber of Commerce and could be considered as the second from the bottom. There was indeed a clear gap between them and the stronger Sacred Flame Sect, Man Long Army, and Zhan Wuzong. However, the Zuoqiu Family would rather go against the battle-crazed Zhan Wuzong and the overbearing Man Long Army than to have a conflict with them.
This was because the Zuoqiu Family was a family of assassins that had existed for generations. From top to bottom, regardless of gender or age, all of them were cold-blooded killers that made others tremble with fear.
If one provoked the Zhan Wuzong and the Man Long Army, the worst case scenario would be a life and death battle on the battlefield. However, if one provoked the Zuoqiu Family, it was guaranteed that one would suffer worse than death. This was because no matter how one defended, the people of the Zuoqiu Family would find a way to sneak in and issue a death order in front of one's face. Bit by bit, they would destroy one's confidence and fill one with despair. In the end, when one was anxious and on the verge of collapse, they would take one's life.
For thousands of years, countless people had died in the Zuoqiu Family. It was even said that the previous Sacred Lord of the Dayan Sacred Ground was assassinated by the Zuoqiu Family's Master.
The Daye Sacred Ground was naturally infuriated by this and dispatched troops to eradicate the Zuoqiu Clan. However, for countless years, no one had been able to find the Zuoqiu Clan's main camp, not even the Daye Sacred Ground.
In the end, even though the Dayan Sacred Ground was furious and dispatched troops, they were only able to eradicate a few of the Zuoqiu Family's strongholds outside of the Zuoqiu Family. They only killed some young disciples and some core forces of the Zuoqiu Family. The Zuoqiu Family's foundation was not affected at all.
However, because of this, the Zuoqiu Family remained silent for more than a hundred years before coming into being again.
There was no doubt that the Zuoqiu Family was powerful. In terms of direct confrontation, the Zuoqiu Family was definitely inferior. For example, if all parties in the Greencloud Lower Continent were to take out all their trump cards and have a direct battle, the Zuoqiu Family would definitely be one of the first to be eliminated. This was also the reason why the Zuoqiu Family could only be ranked second from the bottom among the third-grade forces in the Greencloud Lower Continent. However, in terms of the degree of fear, even the Black Sky Sect, the Tuoba family, and the Dayan Sacred Ground were not willing to provoke the Zuoqiu Family for no reason.
Unless one could find the base camp of the Zuoqiu Family and kill everyone in the Zuoqiu Family, especially those old fellows who were in charge of the Zuoqiu Family, without leaving any future troubles, everyone in the Zuoqiu Family would try their best to avoid them. After all, no one would want to be beheaded in their sleep and die.
Now, they suddenly heard that Zhao Zilong was taken away by the Zuoqiu Family. This was definitely not good news.
Although Xiao Fan had never dealt with the Zuoqiu Family, he knew from his two old friends, Zhan Wuzong and Hong Lou, that the Zuoqiu Family, in addition to constantly training their own family members to become assassins, they also constantly collected all kinds of talented young people from all over the world. Then, they were forcibly taken away and sent back to the family's headquarters. Through the cruelest and most ruthless means, they were trained into killing machines.
Now, Zhao Zilong was fancied by the big shot of the Zuoqiu Family. He should have also seen the extraordinariness of Zhao Zilong's Ascended Physique, so he wanted to bring him to the family's headquarters and train him into a new killing machine.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan gently shook his head. Although Xiao Fan didn't know the specific rules of the Zuoqiu Family's assassin training, Xiao Fan himself once had 'Skynet', a world-famous assassin organization that spanned the entire Central imperial realm. Therefore, Xiao Fan could guess that the Zuoqiu Family's assassin training rules basically couldn't escape the most basic rule of one out of a hundred.
A hundred people, competing with each other, killing each other, and finally leaving one!
With such a selection method, Zhao Zilong might survive, but it was more likely that he wouldn't survive.
Although Zhao Zilong's current ending was more due to his fate, there was also a small part of the reason for it. Because he was the one who created Zhao Zilong, but at the same time, he also pushed him into the fire pit. Therefore, this matter more or less had his own responsibility.
"After Zhao Zilong was taken away by this person from the Zuoqiu Family, where did he go? When did he leave? If you can tell me useful information, I can spare your life! "Xiao Fan stared at Zhao Chi in his hand and said indifferently.
"S-Sir, please spare my life!" Zhao Chi was suddenly scared out of his wits, and his voice was constantly trembling. "The big shot from the Zuoqiu Family didn't say anything and directly took Zhao Zilong away. I, I really don't know!"
"In that case, you're useless!" Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Chi, and his dark eyes flickered as he said coldly. Then, he directly exerted force in his hand and twisted Zhao Chi's head 360 degrees, making a crisp sound of bones breaking.
Zhao Chi's body suddenly went soft, and then he fell to the ground. His breath disappeared, and he died on the spot.
"Who knows? If you know, I can spare your life! " Xiao Fan was still stepping on the old man in luxurious clothes. Then, with a ruthless look in his eyes, he glanced at the Laozu and elders of the Mist Cave Heaven and said coldly.
However, no one spoke for a long time. Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and there was great horror on their faces.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Fan immediately frowned, and a bloodthirsty look appeared in his eyes. He planned to kill all the people of the Mist Cave Heaven first.
But at this moment!
"I know!" In the crowd, a middle-aged scholar walked out with a trembling body. Then, he knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Fan, and said.
It was Zhao Zilong's cheap master, Ling Fengzi.
"Speak!" Xiao Fan said in a concise manner.
"I accidentally heard that the big shot from the Zuoqiu Family mentioned the Dead Man Mining Area when he came to a secluded place to talk to someone through the sound-transmitting bell after he finished his discussion with the Laozu of the Mist Cave Heaven!" Ling Fengzi said with a trembling body, "It seems that he wants to go to the Dead Man Mining Area first, and then return to the family's base camp!"
"The Dead Man Mining Area?" Xiao Fan said seriously.
"Yes!" Ling Fengzi bowed again and said with a trembling voice.
Xiao Fan didn't speak, and he just muttered to himself.
There were three Ominous Places in the Qingyun Lower Continent, and the Silent Hill and the Dead Man Mining Area were two of them. Moreover, the Dead Man Mining Area was not far from the Qingfeng County, and was in the nearby Three Moons County.
Of course, it was also possible that Ling Fengzi was lying. However, Xiao Fan had his own way of seeing through people's hearts. He could determine that Ling Fengzi was telling the truth and wasn't lying.
"Then, let's go to the Dead Man Mining Area. There is no special reason to go there, and it's just to find Zhao Zilong. At most, we can return to Qinghua Ancient City in two days. It's not a delay!" Xiao Fan whispered to himself, and then made a decision.
"You can live!" Xiao Fan raised his head, looked at Ling Fengzi, and said with a nod, "You can live!"
"Thank you, sir!" Ling Fengzi's face suddenly showed a trace of joy, and he said immediately. However, in the next second, his face changed again.
