Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
However, this morning, as usual, Luo Lin sent Chen He a message, but Chen He did not reply to Luo Lin.
However, Rowling was very busy with the Spirit Stone Grenade incident, so she postponed the matter for the time being.
At noon, Luo Lin sent Chen He another message, but still received no reply.
Rowling had planned to report to Nightwind as soon as possible, but it was postponed because the Spirit Stone Grenade was successfully manufactured.
"So, you've lost contact with Chen He and have no idea what happened to him?" Ye Feng asked.
“That’s right,” Rowling nodded.
Ye Feng stroked his chin and pondered for a while. Suddenly, he said, "Is it possible that the Spirit of Flesh and Blood turned Wang Ergou into a human bomb not because it was targeting our Xinluo City, but because it was targeting Jiangxia City?"
"It's just a coincidence that Wang Ergou and three thousand other commoners and serfs were bought back by Luo Lin, so he was supposed to explode in Jiangxia City, but he exploded in our Xinluo City instead."
"Judging from this situation, something bad must have happened in Jiangxia City, so Chen He, who is staying in Jiangxia City, has also been affected. Although we don't know his current situation, he is clearly unable to contact Luo Lin."
Although Ye Feng's analysis was just his personal speculation, it was reasonable and well-founded, and Luo Lin, Luo Qing, and Zi Jing all nodded in agreement.
"The city lord's deduction is indeed very likely," Xu Ping'an said.
Zijing asked, "So what do we do next? Should we go to Jiangxia City and take a look?"
That's exactly what I meant.
Night Breeze nodded and said to Luo Lin, "I'll leave this place to you for now. I'll take Zijing and Jiang Wei to Jiangxia City."
"Ancestor, you must be careful," Rowling immediately warned.
"Don't forget I'm a Saint Realm expert," Ye Feng said with a chuckle.
Luo Qing said, "Ancestor, wait a moment, I'll go get some spirit stone grenades, you might need them!"
Upon hearing Luo Qing's words, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.
Spirit Stone Grenades are great items; they are easy to carry and use, and can also be used as a surprise attack on opponents.
Most importantly, using spirit stone grenades does not require consuming additional true energy, so this thing is a great help even for martial artists.
"Then go quickly," Ye Feng said.
Ye Feng himself certainly doesn't need spirit stone grenades, but Zi Jing and Jiang Wei definitely will.
If used skillfully, the Spirit Stone Grenade will surely give them a significant advantage!
After everything was ready, Ye Feng set off with Zi Jing and Jiang Wei.
The three of them flew directly towards Jiangxia City at an extremely fast speed.
In just a short while, they arrived in Jiangxia City.
After all, Jiangxia City is only less than two hundred miles away from Xinluo City, and Ye Feng and his group are traveling at such a fast speed, so it naturally won't take too long.
However, Ye Feng and Zijing Jiang Wei did not enter the center of Jiangxia City directly, but landed near the edge.
This area is already within the city limits of Jiangxia City, but because it is close to the outer perimeter, there are not many people around.
“We can’t possibly search the entire city, can we?” Zijing said.
“Of course that won’t work. There are only three of us. How can we search the entire city?” Ye Feng shook his head and said.
"Then where do we go to find Chen He?" Zijing asked again.
Jiang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go directly to the City Lord's Mansion? Anyway, with the Ancestor there, we don't have to worry at all even if we run into the people of the Flesh and Blood Spirit."
Zijing readily agreed to Jiang Wei's suggestion.
Just then, a rustling sound came from the woods not far away.
"Who? Who's there! Come out!" Zijing shouted, drawing a short sword from her waist.
The short sword in Zijing's hand was bluish-black, only about thirty centimeters long, and looked very small, but at the same time it had a delicate beauty.
This short sword is of course a spiritual weapon, and it's even a sixth-grade spiritual weapon.
Jiang Wei had already placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, but he did not immediately draw the long sword.
The rustling sound continued to rise and fell, getting closer and closer to Ye Feng, Zijing Jiang Wei, and the others.
Before long, a figure emerged from the woods.
It was a little boy who looked to be only seven or eight years old. He was fairly clean-cut, but his head and face were covered in dust and dirt, so he looked drab and disheveled.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Zijing demanded, her face stern.
The little boy looked panicked and shook his head repeatedly.
"Don't be so fierce. We've only just arrived here. He certainly couldn't have known what was going on. So this must just be a misunderstanding," Ye Feng said, placing his hand on Zi Jing's shoulder.
Then Ye Feng gave Jiang Wei a look.
Jiang Wei then strode over and forced a smile, saying, "Little guy, don't be afraid. Although we may look a bit suspicious, we are definitely not bad people."
"Only bad people would say they're not bad!" Zijing muttered to herself.
The little boy looked pale with fright and trembling, as if he might run away at any moment.
But when the little boy saw the armor on Jiang Wei's body, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was no longer afraid!
Then the little boy pointed to the chest area of Jiang Wei's armor, where there was a mark—the Luo family crest!
Every powerful family in the Hongtian Empire has its own family crest. The Luo family has been a family since the founding of the Hongtian Empire seven hundred years ago, so naturally they have their own family crest.
The armor Jiang Wei was wearing was specially made by the Luo family for their family guards when Luo Yuncheng was still alive, so every set of such armor had the Luo family's emblem on the chest.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Jiang Wei's armor has the Luo family's emblem.
"Why is this little boy pointing at Jiang Wei's armor?" Zijing asked.
"He wasn't referring to Jiang Wei's armor, he was referring to the emblem on the chest of Jiang Wei's armor! It's obvious that this little boy recognizes our Luo family's emblem; he must have seen this emblem before!" Ye Feng said.
"Could he have seen Chen He? Chen He is wearing the same armor as Jiang Wei, and it also has the family crest of your Luo family on it!" Zijing exclaimed.
Upon hearing Ye Feng and Zi Jing's words, Jiang Wei immediately realized what was going on.
So he grabbed the little boy's shoulder, pointed to the Luo family crest on his chest, and asked, "Have you seen this crest before? Where did you see it?"
"Ah... Aba aba..."
