"Elder Qingpeng..."

Zhao Cangqiong came out and bowed.

"I heard that the two little brats of the Gongsun family are in the City Lord's Mansion?"

The Great Elder looked at Zhao Cangqiong and asked directly without any further ado.

"Yes."

Zhao Cangqiong felt a little depressed. Was he coming for Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang?

"They were captured by the Holy Heaven Sect and later escaped back... City Lord Zhao, can you believe it?"

The Great Elder asked again.

"This matter is still under investigation... We will definitely get to the bottom of it."

Zhao Cangqiong said.

"No need to bother. I am good at soul searching. I can search their souls and find out whether they have joined the Holy Heaven Sect."

The Great Elder said calmly.

"Elder Qingpeng..."

Zhao Cangqiong frowned. He wanted to search the souls of these two people? Wouldn't those two be useless?

He didn't care about the life or death of Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang, but if they allowed Qing Peng to search their souls in the City Lord's Mansion, how would he explain to Gongsun Zhen and Shanhai Tower?

At this moment, he felt a little regretful that he had not let Gongsun Zhen take the person away earlier.

The main thing is that no one expected that the Great Elder would target these two people as soon as he arrived in Sifang City.

Normally, if there is a dispute, you should go to Gongsun Zhen.

After all, Gongsun Zhen is a suspect in Wu Qingming's death.

"Why, Lord Zhao is going to reject me?"

The Great Elder raised his eyelids and stared at Zhao Cangqiong with eyes devoid of any life.

Zhao Cangqiong felt the gaze of the Great Elder, and felt as if a thousand-pound rock was pressing on him. He felt quite pressured for a moment.

"Senior Qing Peng, long time no see."

Ji Wuji took a step forward and bowed.

"You came to Sifang City a few days ago, but I happened to be busy and didn't see you."

"This matter has nothing to do with the Void Sword Sect."

The Great Elder glanced at Ji Wuji, his tone still indifferent.

"Why, you want to get involved on behalf of the Void Sword Sect?"

"Elder Qingpeng, you are too kind."

Ji Wuji's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this old guy too aggressive?

"If you don't want to get involved, then don't say anything."

After the Great Elder finished speaking, he stopped looking at Ji Wuji.

“…”

The veins on Ji Wuji's forehead twitched a few times. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.

"Elder Qingpeng, this is not a matter of whether I refuse or not, but a matter of not being able to do it."

Zhao Cangqiong took a deep breath, looked at the great elder, and said slowly.

He was a little panicked, but there were some things he couldn't avoid saying just because he was panicked.

There are some things that you should never not do just because you are in a hurry.

He is the lord of Sifang City, and he has the responsibility to say something and do something!

“…”

The Great Elder stared at Zhao Cangqiong without saying anything.

This silent pressure swept out with him as the center.

The strong men in Qingyun Tower were also surprised. Zhao Cangqiong actually refused like that?

No face at all?

Zhao Cangqiong met the Great Elder's gaze without any retreat.

The two people's eyes collided silently in the air.

Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei also felt pressured.

They looked at the Great Elder, then at Zhao Cangqiong, and secretly admired him... This guy still has courage.

"Oh."

Suddenly, the great elder laughed.

"Lord Zhao, what if I must do it?"

"Then I can only offend you, junior."

Zhao Cangqiong said in a deep voice.

"Are you willing to drag the Broken Star Palace into this and become the enemy of the Qingyun Tower?"

The Great Elder's smile faded and he asked.

"This has nothing to do with the Broken Star Palace."

Zhao Cangqiong shook his head.

"This is something that the four forces in Sifang City have to face together... I believe that Senior Ji and Senior Huai will not allow such a thing to happen."

“…”

Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei, who had just admired Zhao Cangqiong's courage in their hearts, suddenly wanted to curse.

This guy directly dragged the two of them into this.

"Four forces? Ha, maybe the four forces in Sifang City should be changed."

The Great Elder looked at Zhao Cangqiong and sneered.

"Shattered Star Palace, Void Sword Sect, Nine Cauldron Sect, and my Qingyun Tower, how about that?"

After listening to the words of the Great Elder, Zhao Cangqiong and the other two were shocked. Was Qingyun Tower going to take this opportunity to take over Sifang City?

"We'll talk about this later. Today I'm going to go check on those two brats from Shanhai Tower."

The Great Elder said in a deep voice.

“No one can stop it.”

"Elder Qingpeng, they are in very bad condition and are likely to become useless. You are a senior master, and if you treat two juniors like this, it will damage your reputation if it gets out."

Zhao Cangqiong refused to give in.

"Waste? If they are waste, then why keep them? It just so happens that I can get rid of them... Maybe they have already joined the Holy Heaven Sect, and even become the link between the Holy Heaven Sect and Gongsun Zhen."

The Great Elder said coldly.

"You mean, Senior Gongsun and Shengtian Sect..."

Zhao Cangqiong's heart moved.

"What else? Based on his recent actions, do you think it's normal?"

The Great Elder said this and looked at Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei.

"As for Wu Qingming's death, it can be put on hold in front of the Holy Heaven Sect... Anyone from the Holy Heaven Sect can kill them."

“…”

Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei were speechless. You are using the pretext of "righteousness" to get rid of Gongsun Zhen!

Apparently, the old guy felt that it was too much trouble to find and kill Wu Qingming's murderer.

In other words, it doesn’t matter how Wu Qingming died.

What’s more important is that this is an opportunity to attack Shanhailou.

Allowing Gongsun Zhen to become a member of the 'Holy Heaven Sect' would not only be a way to deal with him, it would also be a threat to Shanhai Tower.

If you think about it this way, it makes sense why the Great Elder came to meet Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang.

He wanted to use these two people as a breakthrough point... No matter whether they had joined the Holy Heaven Sect or not, after searching their souls, they would definitely be members of the Holy Heaven Sect!

The Great Elder... definitely has such means!

"If you don't make a move, it's fine. But once you make a move, it's a killing move."

Ji Wuji felt sad in his heart, wondering how Gongsun Zhen and Shanhai Tower would respond.

They alone would not be able to stop the Great Elder.

After all, they didn't intend to really go to war with Qingyun Tower.

Just as Zhao Cangqiong was pondering how to respond, a violent aura came from afar.

"Gongsun Zhen is here."

Huai Tianlei looked up.

Soon, Gongsun Zhen, with the strong men of Shanhai Tower, came from far away and landed in the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Cangqiong breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Gongsun Zhen had arrived, there was nothing for him to do.

No matter what Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang do, Gongsun Zhen will be there to deal with them.

"Gongsun Zhen of Shanhai Tower greets Elder Qingpeng."

Gongsun Zhen looked at the great elder and bowed.

Although the conflict between the two sides has been exposed and they are eager to kill each other, since the war has not started, the proper etiquette of the underworld should still be observed.

"Um."

The Great Elder nodded.

"Gongsun Zhen, hand over Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Liang."

"They are from my Gongsun family, and even more so from Shanhai Tower. Do you want me to hand them over with just one sentence from Elder Qingpeng?"

Gongsun Zhen said in a deep voice.

He was also nervous when facing the Great Elder, but despite his panic, he still had some confidence.

After all, the other party is from Qingyun Tower, it is impossible to kill him in public.

As for Chen Xiao’s senior brother, he was unknown, which made him even more unsure.

"Why, are you afraid that I might learn something from them?"

The Great Elder asked slowly.

"They have become useless. If they had really joined the Holy Heaven Sect, they wouldn't have ended up like this."

Gongsun Zhen shook his head.

"As an ancestor, I should save their lives."

"Heh, even you are suspected of being a member of the Holy Heaven Cult. How can we save their lives?"

The Great Elder's sneer became even stronger, and the aura around him changed.

"Since you want to save their lives, then I will use you to search their souls!"

Hearing the words of the Great Elder, Gongsun Zhen's face changed. Is he going to take action?

"For the safety of Tianwaitian, I will go to Shanhailou to explain in the future. I believe Shanhailou will understand."

As the Great Elder finished speaking, the black robe on his body moved without wind and began to swell.

"Elder Qingpeng..."

Zhao Cangqiong and the others' faces also changed. The development of the situation was different from what they had imagined.

“This is a matter between Qingyun Tower and Shanhai Tower, and also between Qingyun Tower and Shengtian Sect. Anyone who interferes without authorization is equivalent to being an enemy of Qingyun Tower and the entire Tianwaitian… I will treat him as a member of Shengtian Sect and kill him!”

After the Great Elder finished speaking, he went straight to Gongsun Zhen.

The strong men from Qingyun Tower behind him also burst out in an instant and killed the strong men from Shanhai Tower.

In the previous battle, Shanhai Tower was at a disadvantage.

But today is different, the Great Elder is here!

Gongsun Zhen retreated violently, trying to create some distance between himself and the Great Elder, but there was a huge gap in strength between the two, so it was not so easy to dodge.

Bang, bang, bang…

The war broke out in an instant.

"what to do?"

Zhao Cangqiong looked at Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei and asked.

"My suggestion is... take a look first."

Ji Wuji said slowly.

"Going up at this time will only make things more chaotic."

"I don't want to fight that old guy anyway."

Huai Tianlei glanced at the great elder who was beating Gongsun Zhen and muttered.

"Then let's take a look first."

Zhao Cangqiong thought about it and made a decision.

It is not appropriate to join the war rashly.

"Luckily Chen Xiao and Lu Hongyun left... otherwise, who knows what would have happened if they had gotten involved."

This thought suddenly popped up in Zhao Cangqiong's mind.

"Elder Qingpeng, are you planning to start a war with Shanhai Tower?"

Gongsun Zhen roared and retreated repeatedly.

He was no match for the Great Elder to begin with, and as he was still injured, he couldn't stop him at all.

"I've said that I will personally explain to Shanhai Tower afterwards."

The Great Elder had standing hair and beard, and a slightly thin and short body, but he exuded a terrifying aura.

Gongsun Zhen wanted to run, but he couldn't escape the attack of the Great Elder.

As for giving an explanation to Shanhailou, he would be dead by then, so it would be of no use.

Just like right now, how Wu Qingming died...does it matter?

It doesn’t matter at all!

"Come and help!"

Gongsun Zhen shouted, trying to find someone to help.

However, the strong men of Shanhai Tower were blocked by the strong men of Qingyun Tower, making it difficult to provide support.

As for Zhao Cangqiong and the others... they didn't think of going forward for the time being.

"In Tianjueyuan, you, the Shanhai Tower, killed people from my Qingyun Tower. Now in Sifang City, you are bullying my Qingyun Tower even more... Do you really think that my Qingyun Tower is easy to bully?"

As the Great Elder finished speaking, his figure disappeared.

Bang.

The next second, Gongsun Zhen vomited blood and flew out.
