After leaving with Ye Xing 'er, Qin Yang kept Ye Xing' er in the Hongmeng Fortune Pagoda and mounted a Golden Eagle. The Golden Eagle then carried Qin Yang forward.
This Golden Eagle was different from the one he had tamed before.
The original eagle was just an ordinary beast with a little bit of intelligence. This Golden Eagle was a Level 3 spirit beast!
As a flying spirit beast, it was very difficult to capture and tame. It would fly away if it sensed something wrong from afar.
Qin Yang had previously used his domain to advance and discovered it. Of course, this Golden Eagle could not discover Qin Yang, who was in the domain.
The Golden Eagle was much more intelligent. Qin Yang gave it a pill and used his domain power to open up some of its meridians. Its strength increased from early Level 3 to peak Level 3.
Naturally, it accepted Qin Yang.
"Screech!"
High up in the sky, the huge Golden Eagle with a wingspan of more than four meters advanced rapidly. Its speed was not slower than Qin Yang's full speed with his domain on the ground. In one or two hours, Qin Yang arrived at his destination.
His destination was a small city called Jiangyuan City.
Back then, Ye Shouxin and Ye Xing 'er's grandmother had come here. Ye Shouxin had searched here for a long time and found traces of a fight. However, he could not find Ye Xing' er's grandmother.
From then on, Ye Shouxin would come every year at this time. At first, he just came to check and hoped to see her. Later on, he came to pay respects. Ye Shouxin estimated that the chances of his wife being alive were very low.
"Lucky Cloud Inn. This is the place."
Qin Yang soon arrived at the best inn in the small city.
Ye Xing 'er's grandmother had gone missing here.
Ye Shouxin and the others stayed here.
After Ye Xing 'er's grandmother went missing, Ye Shouxin conducted a thorough investigation. It had nothing to do with the Lucky Cloud Inn.
"Innkeeper, I want to ask about something."
Qin Yang entered the inn.
Although this inn was the best in the area, it was not very big. After all, this was only a small city with a population of about 100,000. The innkeeper would often receive guests at the counter.
"Sir, how can I help?"
The innkeeper was called Feng Ping. He glanced at Qin Yang and spoke very politely. Qin Yang was two feet tall. For an elf to reach this height, their strength was not low. Moreover, there was no one around Qin Yang, so he was most likely a free elf.
Free elves who dared to wander around outside were generally not weak.
"Ye Shouxin, do you know him?"
Qin Yang said in a deep voice.
Feng Ping was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly said, "Guest, of course I know him. Old Man Ye comes here every year. He and my father have known each other for many years. I've taken over the inn for more than ten years, and I've seen Old Man Ye many times!"
"I met Elder Ye a while ago."
Feng Ping felt a chill in his heart. Ye Shouxin was a Level 5 Ranker, and Qin Yang had asked about him. His strength might be higher than what he had estimated.
Qin Yang said, "Shopkeeper, when did Ye Lao come? Do you know what he did after he came here?"
"I know."
Feng Ping nodded.
"Old Man Ye stayed here for six days. Every day, he would drink at the window seat on the second floor. At night, Old Man Ye would go to the back of the inn to burn some paper money. After six days, Old Man Ye left. It's a little strange."
Qin Yang's eyes flashed, "Why is it strange?"
Feng Ping said, "Old Man Ye comes here every year for seven days. This time, he only stayed for six days. Moreover, he paid for the room for seven days. Guest, did something happen to Old Man Ye?"
"We thought he had something to do and left early, so we didn't pay too much attention to it."
Qin Yang's domain covered Feng Ping. Feng Ping was only a Level 3 Ranker. In this small city, he was considered strong. However, in front of Qin Yang, he was not worth mentioning. If Feng Ping was lying, Qin Yang would definitely be able to tell that something was wrong.
"Shopkeeper, is there anything else unusual?"
"Guest, no. The rest is the same as before. There were no fights in the city during those few days."
Feng Ping recalled.
"Bring me to the room that Old Man Ye stayed in before."
"Okay, okay."
Feng Ping immediately brought Qin Yang to the room. The room was on the third floor. It was the best room in the inn. Currently, the room was empty.
Qin Yang's domain covered the entire room. However, he did not find anything unusual.
"Shopkeeper, please bring me to the place where Old Man Ye burned joss paper."
"Okay!"
Feng Ping then brought Qin Yang to the place where Old Man Ye burned joss paper. There were some black marks on the ground.
"Guest, there used to be a small lake behind this place. After someone drowned, this small lake was filled up. I talked to Old Man Ye about it. Old Man Ye said that his wife liked to play the zither by the lake. This is the place."
Qin Yang nodded slightly. His domain expanded instantly. The surrounding 120 meters were all covered by Qin Yang's domain.
Qin Yang could see everything clearly underground.
"Eh …"
Thirty meters underground, Qin Yang found a small piece of metal.
The small piece of metal must have been shot into the ground by a powerful force. There were still slight traces left in the soil.
"Qin Yang, Grandma Xing 'er's accident might be related to the Blood Maple Empire."
"Someone from the Blood Maple Empire wants to catch me. You guys be careful. If I don't return by the deadline, don't look for me!"
There were words on the piece of metal. They were carved by a powerful force. Qin Yang could recognize that it was Ye Shouxin's handwriting.
Ye Shouxin must have been in a hurry. He did not have time to find someone to send the message. Or he did not want to let Qin Yang know immediately.
If he came here in the future and could find the piece of metal thirty meters underground, he should be much stronger.
"Blood Maple Empire."
Qin Yang's eyes shone. The Blood Maple Empire was much stronger than the Silver Moon Empire. Although it was not a level 7 force, the Blood Maple Empire had six level 7 experts. The Silver Moon Empire only had two!
Among the hundreds of countries around the Silver Moon Empire, the Blood Maple Empire was the strongest. Its land area was three times bigger than the Silver Moon Empire.
"Someone from the Blood Maple Empire actually came. It's very likely that they got the news of Ye Shouxin's breakthrough."
Qin Yang thought to himself.
If Ye Shouxin did not break through, a mere level 4 expert would not have any influence. Even if the other party sent someone to spy on him, they would not take any action. But now, Ye Shouxin had broken through to level 5.
Moreover, Qin Yang and the others had joined the Ice Palace.
If the other party knew, it would be normal for them to send someone to deal with Ye Shouxin.
However, there was one thing that Qin Yang was puzzled about. Ye Shouxin seemed to be easily dealt with without a fight. If that was the case, the other party should be much stronger than Ye Shouxin.
"Innkeeper, I … I have something to say to this guest."
A waiter in the inn walked over and said in a trembling voice.
Feng Ping frowned at the waiter and scolded, "The guest is of noble status. You can't just talk to him."
"It's fine. Just say it."
Qin Yang said.
The waiter hurriedly said, "Guest, it's not that I have something to say to you. Someone asked me to pass a message to you. They gave me some money and asked me to talk to the person who came to find Old Ye."
"Just say it."
Qin Yang said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, guest. They said not to try to investigate their identity. Ye Shouxin and his wife are not dead. But if you continue, they will die."
The waiter looked nervous.
"Guest, I just want to make some money. These are the words of the other party. And they are very strong. I dare not disobey."
Qin Yang waved his hand. The waiter left immediately as if he had been granted amnesty. Although Qin Yang was small, he felt a great pressure in front of Qin Yang.
Feng Ping coughed and said, "Guest, it's a good thing that Old Ye and his wife are both alive."
Qin Yang nodded slightly.
"Innkeeper, sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye."
Qin Yang left.
He was puzzled. The other party was very strong. Why didn't they just kill Ye Shouxin in the past?
Now that they could easily take Ye Shouxin away, it meant that they were very strong.
At that time, Ye Shouxin was only at Level Three. It would have been easier for them to kill him.
The other party was not afraid of the Ye family.
The head of the Ye family was only at the early stage of Level Five. It was not bad in Konoha City, but it was nothing in the entire Silvermoon Nation.
"Could it have something to do with Grandma Xing 'er?"
Qin Yang thought to himself. If Grandma Xing 'er asked them not to do anything, it was possible that they did not do anything. There might be some secrets involved.
"Xing 'er."
Qin Yang went outside the city and told Ye Xing 'er what he heard. He did not lie.
Ye Xing 'er was not someone who could be easily fooled.
Moreover, Ye Xing 'er was confident that her father could be resurrected in the future. Ye Xing' er would definitely be able to accept Ye Shouxin's death.
"Little Qinqin, Grandpa should be fine, right?"
Ye Xing 'er asked worriedly.
Qin Yang nodded. "The other party is very strong. If they wanted to kill your Grandpa, they would have done so long ago. They probably just took your Grandpa away, or your Grandpa left with them of his own accord!"
"If the other party is strong and your grandma is still alive, your Grandpa will definitely leave with them!"
Ye Xing 'er nodded her little head.
"The other party's last warning was that they did not want us to investigate. Let's not investigate for now. If your Grandpa is fine now, he should be fine for a while."
"If we are not strong enough and alert the other party, your Grandpa and the others may be in danger."
Ye Xing 'er nodded repeatedly. "Little Qinqin, I will listen to you. Little Qinqin, I believe you will definitely find Grandpa."
"Okay."
Qin Yang let Ye Xing 'er go back into the Primordial Fortune Tower. At the same time, he let the golden eagle go outside.
The golden eagle quickly rose into the air.
After one or two hours, Qin Yang approached the Ice Palace. From afar, Qin Yang saw many people outside the Ice Palace.
Gathering power in his eyes, Qin Yang's vision became stronger. He could clearly see the expert in the lead.
This person was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect, Fan Yuanqing!
He was at the peak of Level 6. Rumor had it that he already had the strength of Level 6 Perfection, but this was not confirmed!
