Qing Yu moved his left arm and confirmed that it was fine. He smiled and said, "Hiding is not the only way. Besides, this is River East."
"The Wang family of River East has the Arithmetical Classic passed down from generation to generation …" Mengqi nodded thoughtfully. "I'll go to the Six Fan School later and announce this. How can we allow him to be so arrogant when the two countries are at war?"
The Six Fan School would be in charge of the rest. If he did not use his identity as a Secret-searching Nark, he would not have the face to do so.
At the same time, Mengqi also wanted to see how Wolf King was hunted down and how he could save himself if he fell into such a situation in the future. Because of his identity as a Samsara traveler, he always lacked a sense of security and always thought that it was better to be prepared.
"Be careful on the road. Maybe he is still wandering around." Qing Yu picked up the Time Knife with his right hand and patted his Taoist robe. He planned to get up and go to the Six Fan School of Maoling with Mengqi to avoid Wolf King taking advantage of them.
Mengqi chuckled. "I just happened to run into him and was almost bitten by him. If that wasn't the case, how could I guess that it was Tie Sheng just from your words? "
"You ran into him?" Qing Yu was stunned and stared at Mengqi. He was not injured? He escaped from Wolf King unscathed!
Meng Qi used all his strength and was injured to defeat Tie Sheng. After all, the gap between the realms was very difficult to make up for. If it were not for the special Scripts of the Emperor of Heaven, he would have been in more danger. He would not have been able to get away with minor injuries. He had to use the Dharma Access of Remnant Essence and Blood!
"Killing Blade" Su Meng looked calm as if he had not used all his strength.
Mengqi was secretly proud but explained with a smile, "I just happened to have a little trick. Otherwise, I might have died on the spot. When Wolf King comes back to his senses, it won't work next time."
He could not let others overestimate him. He had to keep a low profile!
Qing Yu restrained his expression and returned to normal. He was arrogant and introverted. "Let's go together. If we meet again, we might have a chance to kill him."
"Good." Mengqi was happy to hear that. He paused and said, "Dao Brother, I have a question to ask you."
"No wonder you came here in the middle of the night. You wouldn't come here for no reason." Qing Yu smiled and pointed at Mengqi.
Mengqi did not beat around the bush. He repeated the contents of his discussion with Jiang Hengchuan. In the end, he asked, "Did you tell anyone else about our conversation that day?"
Qing Yu was the direct disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect and the true successor of the Heaven Sovereign. He had no lack of skills and resources. Unless he was like Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan, and the others who had involuntarily entered Samsara, Mengqi could not think of any reason to explain his joining the Myths or the Immortals. So he simply showed absolute trust.
After reaching the Exterior, it was not impossible for a core member of a sect or aristocratic family to join a mysterious organization in order to break through barriers, condense Dharmakaya, hide ancient secrets, and prolong life. But Qing Yu was still in the Enlightenment stage. It was only a matter of time before he opened the Hidden Latch of Life and Death. He just needed to sharpen himself and build a solid foundation. He was still far from those desires.
His attitude made Qing Yu feel good. He thought for a moment and answered, "No, I haven't told anyone."
"Is it really Ren Pingsheng, the Unworldly Wonder Man …" Mengqi frowned.
Qing Yu thought for a moment. "Ren Pingsheng was a Rogue Cultivator. His background is clear. But he had an adventure and may have reached the Exterior. That's why he opened the Hero Tower and made friends with heroes from all over. It makes sense if he's the mastermind. But the Hero Tower is famous, and Maoling is under the control of the Wang family and the Dajiang Gang. If he was acting strangely, he would have been discovered long ago."
"I think so too. Ren Pingsheng is most likely an Exterior master. It would be easy for him to kill me. Why would he set a trap …" Mengqi said solemnly.
Besides, it was obvious that someone had leaked the news of Chu Guan's suicide.
"There are too many doubtful points. We need to think about it." Qing Yu stood up. "Let's solve the Wolf King first."
The two arrived at the Six Fan School of Maoling without any trouble. They told the arrester on duty that night about the Wolf King Tie Sheng.
The next day, Maoling was bustling as usual. But many people from all walks of life were secretly searching for a certain alien tribe. They would not let go of any clues.
Two days later, in a Sign-In Room of the Six Fan School.
Slivery-badge Arrester Yu Wangyuan, Green-ribbon Arrester Dai Fei, Money Sect Leader Sun Ke, Mengqi, Jiang Hengchuan, and Qing Yu sat opposite each other.
"There are no clues. It's as if this person has never been to Maoling, or disappeared into thin air." Sun Ke reported the reports of his underlings.
Yu Wangyuan was a middle-aged arrester who had the air of an official. He sat upright and still, and spoke at a moderate pace, "We didn't find anything from other channels. It's the same with the Dajiang Gang. Could it be that Tie Sheng entered the city secretly, and left the city immediately after his attack failed?"
"Wolves are not beasts that can be easily scared off." Qing Yu shook his head.
Mengqi added, "Judging from Tie Sheng's previous case, it's very likely that he continues to lurk in Maoling."
"No matter how he lurks, there will be traces left behind. Talking, drinking, encountering …" Sun Ke didn't quite agree.
Jiang Hengchuan glanced at the bejeweled Sun Ke. "Gang Leader Sun, are you sure that your underlings know every detail of Maoling?"
Sun Ke opened his mouth and finally said, "No."
Maoling was a great city with a registered population of 478,900. There were countless Jianghu people and traveling merchants. Who dared to boast that they knew the needs of every citizen in Maoling?
Even if they knew most of the people, they would at most know something unusual.
Sun Ke explained, "Tie Sheng acted alone, unlike Eight-armed Flying Dragon, who had a lot of people and was easily noticed. Besides, my control over places like North Street and Old Official Street is limited."
"Gang Leader Sun, have you found the whereabouts of Eight-armed Flying Dragon and the others?" Hearing Sun Ke mention it, Meng Qi asked casually. With the help of Wolf King Tie Sheng, he told the Six Fan School about his encounter with Fire Lord and asked them to help identify the bronze rings and find Eight-armed Flying Dragon and Three Eagles of Cloud Ridge. The Six Fan School used their own ways to find them and also asked Sun Ke and other local gangsters to help.
Sun Ke was embarrassed. "Maybe, maybe they split up and couldn't find them."
Green-ribbon Arrester Dai Fei solved Sun Ke's embarrassment. "Tie Sheng is known as Wolf King, and his previous actions are in line with the nature of a wolf. Maybe we can think about it from this point of view."
"If he was a lone wolf, he would disguise himself and sneak into the city when there were many people. He would sleep in an unoccupied wing of the city and change his place every night. He would drink water from the yard when he was thirsty and steal some food from the nearby houses when he was hungry. He wouldn't talk to anyone and disappeared from Maoling," Qing Yu said thoughtfully.
Mengqi shook his head. "But he needs information. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to hunt us. If he wasn't sure that there were no Exterior masters in the Yellow Court Temple, why would he come to you? "
As long as they inquired about information, they might be noticed. After all, 70% of the information in Maoling came from Six Fan School, Dajiang Gang, the Wang family, and money helpers.
"Wolves are also beasts that are good at cooperation." Mengqi paused and said, "The two countries are hostile, and Maoling is a city of transportation. The grassland forces are likely to have a secret stronghold here. If Tie Sheng hides in there, others will take care of everything for him. Those who come out are all acquaintances in the neighborhood. Who will suspect him?"
Sun Ke said thoughtfully, "We can see some clues from the amount of food they buy."
"This kind of secret stronghold may have food stored in advance." Jiang Hengchuan interrupted.
Slivery-badge Arrester Yu Wangyuan thought for a while and said, "We don't have any clues about the grassland spies. It's a bit difficult. We can only go to Su Garden and ask the Wang family to do a divination."
The enemy was hiding very well.
"I haven't been to Su Garden yet. How can I miss it when I'm in Maoling? Why don't you let me go and visit Master Wang? "Mengqi volunteered, and the others didn't object.
…
Su Garden, another courtyard of the Wang family, was a famous garden in the world. It was built according to the landscape and fully displayed the style of River East.
There were 365 buildings, halls, pavilions, pavilions, ferries, corridors, terraces, pavilions, docks, etc. It was beautiful and natural. There were pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, singing and dancing. There were also winding paths leading to secluded places with strange trees, mountains, and birds. It was really a beautiful place. It had the reputation of "the garden is in the painting, and the painting is in the garden".
Unfortunately, Mengqi wasn't a refined person. After enjoying the garden scenery for a while, he rubbed his chin and pondered.
"Could it be a formation that matches the number of Zhou Tian?"
"I'm such a vulgar person!"
Wang Siyuan met Mengqi at the "Rain-listening Pavilion". His clothes were still whiter than snow, which complemented his pale face. His facial features were more beautiful than a girl's, but he looked sickly.
He looked at the chessboard in front of him, holding a black chess piece in his hand. "Are you here for Tie Sheng?"
Mengqi wasn't surprised. He sat down with a smile and said in a very familiar tone, "It's so easy to communicate with Master Wang. Since you know why you're here, hurry up and have your fortune told."
Wang Siyuan looked up at him without surprise, as if he had already expected this person's thick skin. "It's good to have Tie Sheng to mess things up."
Although he said so, he still took out his fortune-telling chip. His expression became focused, and his eyes were like stars.
After a while, he looked at the chip and said, "'North' … Tie Sheng can always maintain the state of Oneness of Heaven and Men, so it's not very accurate. I only know that he's on North Street."
"North Street …" Mengqi frowned.
North Street was the busiest and most chaotic place in Maoling. People from all walks of life gathered here, including the most ancient professions: prostitutes, killers, and informants. Whether it was Six Fan School, the Wang family, or the Dajiang Gang, the power vacuum was left due to the competition. It was full of all kinds of forces, and it was rumored that there was no lack of heterodox masters of the Exterior level.
Wang Siyuan coughed. "That's the only way. I can ask my elders to come to Maoling, but they have to wait for some time."
At this point, Mengqi couldn't ask more, so he told Wang Siyuan about Fire Lord and Ren Pingsheng.
Wang Siyuan listened quietly and said noncommittally, "You've gained a lot. Keep working hard, ahem."
After that, he coughed violently. It took him a long time to catch his breath, and then he served tea to send the guest off.
On the way back, Mengqi vaguely felt strange. With the personality of Ledgerkeeper of Lives, he should have made full use of the Wolf King Tie Sheng's matter. Why would he obediently do the divination?
