Lu An still clearly remembered the names of the four major chambers of commerce, but he didn't expect that things would change so quickly.
The four major chambers of commerce had existed in the Montenegrin Empire for more than 600 years, longer than most countries, but he didn't expect that they would suffer such a disaster. But thinking about it, even the four empires that had existed for thousands of years only existed in name, let alone chambers of commerce.
However, Lu An looked at the names of the two remaining chambers of commerce, and his brows tightened more and more.
Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce and Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce.
Lu An had interacted with Liu Shou, the young master of Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce, and Liu Yi knew Liu Shou very well. Liu Shou's ability and means were very powerful, and he could be said to be smooth and slick, so it was normal for him to survive. But Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce, as an evil force, could survive the catastrophe, it must have external help, and the biggest possibility was Wan Guang Sect.
As for the two chambers of commerce that disappeared — Bright Prince Chamber of Commerce and Shaoling Chamber of Commerce, Lu An sighed.
These two chambers of commerce had really helped Lu An or Liu Yi. The disappearance of these two chambers of commerce inevitably made Lu An think that it was because of him that Wan Guang Sect took revenge. If this was the case, then he would really be a sinner.
This matter couldn't be ignored.
"Did Liao Xiong go to Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce?" Lu An looked at Liu Yi and asked.
"I don't know." Liu Yi said, "There is no information in this regard yet. After all, it takes time to infiltrate the palace and Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce."
Lu An nodded. He couldn't act rashly before confirming the news. They had already alerted the enemy by capturing Cao Du, and now Wan Guang Sect must be very careful. It was unknown whether Liao Xiong would still go out.
At this moment, Lu An took a deep breath, looked at Liu Yi and asked, "I remember that in the battle of Purple Lake City, Bright Prince Chamber of Commerce had sent people to help us fight the enemy. When you were in the Montenegrin Empire, Ouyang Yi, the third young master of the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce, also helped you a lot. He even gave you an eighth-grade armor, right? "
Liu Yi was startled. She didn't expect Lu An to mention this. Ouyang Yi did give her a bracelet called "Guarding Thoughts," but she didn't wear it and put it away. If Lu An didn't mention it, she would have forgotten about it. Liu Yi thought that Lu An was jealous and quickly said, "I have no feelings for him!"
Lu An smiled and said, "Of course I don't have feelings for you, but I don't like you owing other men favors."
Then, Lu An got up and said, "I happen to have nothing to do. I'll go to the Montenegrin Empire to investigate. If I can find people from the Bright Prince Chamber of Commerce and the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce, I'll help them and return the favor."
Liu Yi's heart tightened when she heard this and said, "What if the Ten Thousand Light Sect has many spies in the Imperial Capital?"
"Probably not." Lu An said, "After all, the Montenegrin Empire doesn't only belong to the Ten Thousand Light Sect. If they send more people, it will arouse the suspicion of the other three sects. Taking a step back, even if there are spies, it's fine. There are so many people in the Imperial Capital, it's not difficult to hide. "
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Yi didn't know what to say. Indeed, Lu An was very cautious and didn't have many restrictions. He could quickly obtain information from other sources. If she didn't let Lu An go to the Montenegrin Empire, he might go to other places to carry out missions, which would only be more dangerous.
Moreover … In Liu Yi's opinion, even if the Ten Thousand Light Sect really knew Lu An's whereabouts, they wouldn't dare to catch him at all. Even if they didn't know that Lu An was married to Fu Yu, the Ice Fire Alliance would have already made a move.
"Okay." Liu Yi could only agree and said, "You must be careful."
Lu An nodded and said, "I will."

That afternoon, the Montenegrin Empire, the Imperial Capital.
A teleportation array appeared and Lu An's figure quietly appeared in a simple house. The space of this house had been covered by a special power. Even if a teleportation array appeared, it wouldn't be detected by the Level Eight Heavenly Masters in the Imperial Capital.
Lu An walked out of the house and came to the street. At this moment, the street was obviously more deserted than before, but there were still many people coming and going. After all, this was the Imperial Capital, and the four Sects didn't cause too much damage, so the law and order could still be maintained.
Walking on the street, Lu An, who had put on special makeup and plain clothes, looked no different from an ordinary person. He walked on the street like a pedestrian, but in fact, his ears were always listening to the conversations of the people around him.
He wanted to know if anyone was talking about the two missing Chambers of Commerce, but Lu An walked an entire street and didn't hear a single word about the two Chambers of Commerce.
Not only the Chamber of Commerce and the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce, but even the royal family didn't talk about it. Could it be that under the control of the four Sects, all the people were forbidden from talking about it?
Lu An frowned slightly. He looked around and walked straight to an alley on the side of the street.
There was a beggar sitting on the ground at the entrance of the alley with a broken bowl and a few copper coins in front of him. Lu An walked up to him and squatted down. He looked at the beggar and said softly, "Answer whatever I ask. If you answer well and completely, I'll give you a gold coin."
The beggar's eyes suddenly lit up. A gold coin was something he couldn't get even if he begged for a few months. He quickly got up from the ground and was about to kowtow to Lu An, but Lu An raised his hand to stop him.
"Be quiet and speak as quietly as possible," Lu An said softly.
The beggar immediately wanted to nod, but he suddenly remembered what the man in front of him said, so he could only nod slightly.
"What about the people from the Chamber of Commerce and the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce?" Lu An asked directly. "The two Chambers of Commerce were destroyed. Do you know if there are any survivors?"
The reason Lu An asked the beggar this question was very simple. First of all, the beggar wasn't a slave, so his life wasn't threatened. Secondly, the beggar didn't have any enemies and could live forever. He could wander around and listen to gossip, so he knew a lot of things.
Sure enough, the beggar nodded slightly and lowered his voice as much as possible. "This matter is not allowed to be discussed in the city. Don't tell anyone that I told you! On the first day of the New Year, the Chamber of Commerce and the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce were raided. Everyone was arrested and thrown into jail! On the 20th of January, a group of people were killed, including the presidents of the two Chambers of Commerce! However, the descendants of the two Chambers of Commerce weren't killed yet. Rumor has it that the two presidents begged the big sects to let their children go! "
Lu An's heart tightened when he heard this. He didn't expect the two presidents to be dead. He whispered, "What about the descendants of the two Chambers of Commerce? Have they been released? "
"Not yet!" The beggar immediately shook his head and said, "They're still locked up in jail. I heard they're miserable. Sometimes, living is suffering. It's better to die!"
"…"
Hearing the beggar's words, Lu An's heart tightened again. He asked in a deep voice, "Do you know where they're locked up?"
"I don't know." The beggar immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not a member of the government. How could I know these things?"
As he said this, the beggar quickly stretched out his hand and said, "I've told you everything I know. Gold coins …"
Looking at the beggar's expectant face, Lu An naturally wouldn't go back on his words. Instead, he took out two gold coins, which made the beggar's eyes even brighter!
However, Lu An only put one in the beggar's hand. The beggar was stunned and looked at Lu An in confusion.
"Help me find out." Lu An whispered, "Find where the two Chambers of Commerce are locked up, and I'll give you this gold coin."
As he said this, Lu An got up and was about to leave.
The beggar was shocked when he saw this. He quickly scrambled and said, "After I find out? Where can I find you? "
"You don't have to find me." Lu An stopped and looked at the beggar. "If you find out, come back here and wait for me. I'll find you."
After that, Lu An didn't stay and quickly disappeared into the long street.
