As the sun set, the sky was dyed red and the setting sun was as red as blood.
The Three Yuan Sect was a first-rate force in Yong 'an County. The current Sect Master was a peak 9th Layer True Martial Realm expert. It was said that his battle prowess had reached an astonishing Five Star Realm while the Grand Sect Master was a Pseudo Transcendent Realm master.
The Three Yuan Sect had a history of over a thousand years. No matter how turbulent the undercurrents were, it had never fallen. On the contrary, it had become stronger and stronger. The territory it governed had gradually expanded from less than a hundred square kilometres to the current five hundred square kilometres.
The Three Yuan Town was a town under the Three Yuan Sect's jurisdiction. If it weren't for the dynasty's rule that each county could only have one city, the Three Yuan Town would have developed into a Three Yuan City.
The current Sanyuan Town wasn't much less prosperous than a city like Mountain Overlook City. It was bustling with people and carriages, bustling with activity. Of course, it couldn't compare to the capital at all.
Riding the Red Scaled Dragon Horse, Chen Zong walked through the wide streets of the Three Yuan Town. He was thinking about where to start.
Was Thousand Mile Horse still in the Three Yuan Sect's territory?
If so, where exactly was he?
In addition to Chen Zong, other examinees also entered the Three Yuan Town. They either bought the news from Fatty Yang Qifeng or learned the news from other sources.
Three Yuan Restaurant!
This was a restaurant operated by the Three Yuan Sect. With the Three Yuan Sect as its backing, almost no one dared to cause trouble here. At the same time, with the Three Yuan Sect as its backing, the Three Yuan Restaurant had never bullied its customers because no one knew if the person they bullied had a shocking background.
If they provoked someone with a shocking background, it would bring a lot of trouble to the Three Yuan Sect.
In the end, the Three Yuan Restaurant was just a business of the Three Yuan Sect. It was a business that made money and collected information.
Chen Zong stayed in the Three Yuan Restaurant. The Red Scaled Dragon Horse was naturally taken care of by the restaurant's staff.
The staff of the Three Yuan Restaurant immediately knew that Chen Zong had an extraordinary background. They treated him even more carefully and didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest.
Chen Zong ordered the dishes while asking the waiter for information, especially information about Thousand Mile Horse.
However, the information was scattered. Chen Zong thought about it as he ate, sorting out the scattered information.
"I can be sure that Flowery Malevolent Horse is still within the boundaries of the Three Yuan School. No, it should be within the Three Yuan Town."
Chen Zong's eyes sparkled.
"It's just that Sanyuan Town is not small. I don't know what Hua Xie Ma Qianli looks like. Moreover, there are many people. If they want to hide, where can we find them?"
Chen Zong felt troubled.
It was like looking for a needle in a haystack for a single sword. Chen Zong was thinking about how to get help from external forces.
The best external force he could rely on here was undoubtedly the Three Origin Sect.
"Maybe I should pay a visit to the Three Yuan Sect." Chen Zong thought to himself, but he felt a headache coming on.
The Three Yuan Sect was not as powerful as the Royal Family, but it was still a first-class force. There were many True Martial Realm experts and even pseudo Transcendents. On the other hand, Chen Zong was only in the Energy Refining Realm.
Due to the disparity in strength, it would be difficult to get the Three Yuan Sect to work for him unless he paid a corresponding price.
"Haha, Brother Chen, we meet again." The laughter sounded very interesting. It was Fatty Yang Qifeng. He sat down in front of Chen Zong without standing on ceremony. Then, he asked the waiter to bring the bowls and chopsticks and ordered a bunch of good wine and dishes.
Chen Zong was not surprised to see Yang Qifeng, because Yang Qifeng's assessment task was to hunt down Flowery Malevolent Horse. In essence, he and Chen Zong were competitors.
"Brother Chen, are you worried about how to find Flowery Malevolent Horse?" Yang Qifeng picked up a large amount of food with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. He wolfed down the food and chewed with his mouth full. Strangely, he spoke very clearly.
"Brother Yang, do you have news for me?" Chen Zong asked with a smile.
"Haha, of course, of course. Five dragon teeth." Yang Qifeng laughed again. He was always doing business. Without waiting for Chen Zong's reply, he continued, "Actually, I don't know where Ma Qianli is. I can only be sure that he is in the Three Yuan Town."
"However, we can work together." Yang Qifeng's small eyes widened and sparkled, "As far as I know, there are a total of nine missions this time, which means that only nine people can complete the mission. The competition is very fierce. There are a total of eight people who received the assessment task of hunting down Flowery Malevolent Horse."
"Brother Chen, you probably don't know about a hidden rule." The smile on Yang Qifeng's face disappeared, and his chubby face became serious. "Regardless of which year it is, although it is not explicitly stated, there is a hidden rule in the State Knight examination, and that is, external forces beyond the level of Qi Refinement are not allowed."
Hearing this, Chen Zong was surprised.
"If someone violates this rule without knowing it, they will be disqualified." Yang Qifeng said.
"Thank you." Chen Zong said with a stern expression. If Yang Qifeng had not told him this, he would have really gone to the Three Yuan School and borrowed the strength of the Three Yuan School. He might even have to use the strength of a True Martial Realm expert.
"Also, if I am not wrong, the Three Yuan School has been notified by the royal family that they are not allowed to help the examinees." Yang Qifeng smiled.
Chen Zong was a little stunned when he heard this. He then shook his head and smiled. He had almost done something useless.
It had to be said that the importance the dynasty placed on the State Knight Assessment had reached an extremely high level.
The amount of external forces that each examinee could borrow was too little. The test of one's ability was extraordinary.
"Therefore, I think that if we want to complete this mission in a short one month, we need to use the strength of each examinee and cooperate with each other to find Ma Qianli's whereabouts." Yang Qifeng analyzed clearly.
Chen Zong had to admit that under the various restrictions of the royal family, he had fallen into a situation where he was almost helpless.
The information that he had compared to others was too little. This was a disadvantage.
Cooperating with others seemed to be the only path unless he was willing to spend a large amount of time. However, the time limit was one month. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be.
As for who would be able to kill Thousand Miles after finding him and obtain his head, that would depend on the individual's strength.
Cooperation!
Competition!
"Since brother Chen agrees to cooperate, then I will go find the others. We will gather here later and discuss the cooperation." Yang Qifeng said.
"Thank you brother Yang." Chen Zong said. Yang Qifeng's appearance was undoubtedly very suitable.
Yang Qifeng was very efficient. Very quickly, he gathered the others.
Including Chen Zong and Yang Qifeng, there were a total of eight people. Yu Wenran was one of them.
Seeing Chen Zong, Yu Wenran frowned. A trace of coldness flashed past his eyes, but he did not act out.
"Prince Ran, everyone, please sit." Yang Qifeng booked a private room in Sanyuan Restaurant so that it would be easier for them to discuss the matter. "Our goal is to complete the assessment mission. However, due to various restrictions, there are very, very few external forces that we can use. We can only rely on our own abilities. Therefore, I suggest that we work together and find Thousand Li's whereabouts first."
Everyone did not speak. They quietly listened to Yang Qifeng's words.
"As for who can kill Ma Qianli and obtain his head after finding him, that will depend on their own ability." Yang Qifeng smiled.
"I agree." Immediately, someone expressed their opinion.
"I also agree."
"Good."
"Then let's cooperate."
No matter what, the current cooperation was indeed a more effective method. It could save time.
Yu Wenran also agreed to cooperate. Among everyone present, only he had reached the late stage of five star. He was the strongest. However, having a strong battle strength did not mean that he could find Ma Qianli the fastest.
If he could borrow external forces, as long as he was the prince, the Three Yuan School would have to cooperate with the investigation. Or he could send the masters of the Wang Mansion to find Ma Qianli in a short time.
Unfortunately, they were all restricted.
"As long as we can find Ma Qianli, with my strength, who can compete with me?" Yu Wenran thought to himself. He felt that the difference in strength made him not put the other seven in his eyes. After all, the one with the highest battle strength among the seven was not even five star.
"Since everyone has agreed to cooperate, then everyone should do their best." Yang Qifeng, as the initiator of the cooperation, continued. "I suggest that everyone prepare to start searching for Ma Qianli's whereabouts. Tomorrow morning at nine o 'clock, regardless of whether you can find him or not, you should all share your gains."
After agreeing, everyone got up and left. They were racing against time.
Chen Zong walked on the streets of Three Yuan Town. He carefully observed the people around him while thinking about how to find Ma Qianli.
"If Ma Qianli knows that he is a target, perhaps he will hide even deeper."
Not only Chen Zong felt a headache, the others felt the same.
In the blink of an eye, a night had passed. Chen Zong did not find anything.
At nine o 'clock in the morning, eight people came to the box of Three Yuan Restaurant. This box had been reserved by Yang Qifeng for a month.
Everyone looked a little depressed because everyone had worked hard all night, investigating from all aspects, but still had no results. Not even the slightest clue could be found.
"Don't be discouraged. It's only the first day. We still have time." Yang Qifeng said. "Let me talk about where to start looking."
After Yang Qifeng finished speaking, the others also talked and finally summed it up.
For three days in a row, there was still no result.
"Damn Ma Qianli, hiding so deep." Wang Zhidao's face was full of anger. If Ma Qianli appeared in front of him, he would probably be cut in half by his blade.
The other people's faces were not very good.
Three days had passed in a month. Until now, they were not sure whether Ma Qianli was still in Three Yuan Town.
Several times, Yu Wenran had the idea of using external force. Fortunately, when he thought of the result of using external force, he had to suppress that idea, but his face was gloomy.
For three days in a row, Chen Zong did not have much time to practice. In addition to resting, he looked for Ma Qianli. He almost walked through Three Yuan Town and had a clearer understanding of it.
He took out the information bought from Yang Qifeng with five dragon teeth and opened it to read again.
