"However, one of my Nascent Soul stage cultivators disappeared in Iron Case Mountain, west of the Black Tower River. When I found him, he was already dead."

Ye Qinghan was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that the death of a Nascent Soul cultivator was such an exaggeration. Now that she had a higher position, she naturally understood the principle that there are always people more capable than oneself.

Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are not uncommon, and encountering her means one's life is as fragile as paper.

But if he died without a sound...

Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage? Even in Ye Qinghan's knowledge, they are few and far between. If they were really those old men, Xu Zhanfeng should have already heard of them.

Could it be some reclusive cultivator, or a newly emerged powerful enemy?

"That's interesting..."

Seeing Ye Qinghan's disdainful expression, as if he were complaining about his poor performance, Xu Zhanfeng quickly made a pledge.

"Don't worry, Grandma. Give me two more days, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"

However, Ye Qinghan, upon regaining his senses, simply smiled and waved his hand.

"When I came here, I passed through Lingyuan Town. I heard that a great terror has emerged in the Eastern Region, even more terrifying than Ye Yanwang's achievements. It is said that he wiped out four sects in three days, leaving no one alive in the sects' headquarters. I wonder if Steward Xu is aware of this?"

Xu Zhanfeng was sweating profusely: "Madam, I have indeed heard about this matter, but I haven't confirmed it yet, so..."

Ye Qinghan nodded. She truly didn't intend to blame Xu Zhanfeng; she had only asked on a whim. However, judging from Xu Zhanfeng's current state, the matter was likely more complex than it seemed...
