Chapter 81 News about the Caravan

Zhou Xianzong was slightly startled upon hearing this.

Judging from their attire, the two seemed to be inner disciples of the Overlord Body Sect.

Actually, none of that matters. The main thing is why the Third Elder set off today.

Damn it, the plot clearly states that he's going to kill the giant python the day after tomorrow.

Could it be that this old man got lost for two days along the way?

That can't be that outrageous.

"Is that so? Then it seems this treasure is indeed extraordinary, as it has alarmed the Third Elder to personally take action."

Just as Zhou Xianzong was lost in thought, the two began to boast.

Zhou Xianzong glanced at the two extras and then paid them no further attention.

However, for some reason, Yingxi has been on the second floor for so long and hasn't come down yet.

He glanced at the stairs leading up to the top, and then went up as well.

The second floor wasn't large, but when Zhou Xianzong went up, he didn't see Yingxi or the waiter.

His gaze swept around and he finally noticed Xiao Er lying unconscious on the ground not far away.

What the hell is going on? Why is this person dizzy?

Zhou Xianzong hurriedly went over, patted Xiao Er's head, and seeing that he was still unconscious, pinched his philtrum.

Xiao Er felt a sharp pain and then woke up.

The first thing he saw when he woke up was Zhou Xianzong. He felt like he had found his pillar of support and shouted in a panic.

"Young Master Zhou, there are thieves! There are thieves! They kidnapped the girl who came with you, knocked me unconscious, and ran off somewhere?"

I'll blanch it!

When Zhou Xianzong heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.

In just a short moment of inattention, Yingxi was captured by the thief?

And is your Wanbaolou really that bad? You don't even know a thief has come in.

What's the use of those thugs guarding downstairs?

"Useless thing!"

Zhou Xianzong gave a rather angry rebuke.

His main concern was that something might happen to Yingxi.

You must understand that this is a world of cultivators, unlike Earth, where people can die.

"Young Master Zhou, please calm down."

The waiter immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Do you remember any of the thieves, and what they looked like?"

Zhou Xianzong asked.

"There were three of them, and I remember what one of them looked like."

The waiter spoke up.

"Draw a portrait of that person within half an incense stick's time. Also, summon your manager to see me."

Zhou Xianzong suppressed his anger and said.

"yes."

The waiter nodded.

Soon, he summoned the manager of Wanbaolou and went to paint a portrait.

When the shopkeeper learned that someone had secretly kidnapped Zhou Xianzong's men at Wanbaolou, he was terrified and his face turned ashen, and he felt a surge of hatred.

Damn thieves, don't let me catch you, or I'll skin you alive.

The shopkeeper was cursing inwardly. He dared not delay and quickly went to the shop to meet Zhou Xianzong.

Snap!

Zhou Xianzong slapped the shopkeeper across the face, leaving five clearly visible bloody welts.

The others were completely stunned by the beating, and dared not speak out despite their anger.

"I need a reasonable explanation."

Zhou Xianzong said in a cold voice.

"If you can't tell me the whereabouts of those thieves, I'll kill you first."

"Young Master Zhou, once the portrait is ready, I will absolutely do everything in my power to capture those thieves and skin them alive!"

The shopkeeper suppressed his anger and said bitterly.

“You’ve lived most of your life, and you can’t even manage a mere shop. If you’re useless, I don’t mind sending you on your way.”

Zhou Xianzong snorted coldly.

"Yes, Young Master Zhou, rest assured, I will do my utmost to investigate."

The shopkeeper spoke.

Not long after, the waiter came over with the portrait he had drawn.

The shopkeeper immediately took it, and upon closer inspection, his eyes flashed with fury.

"Damn it, it really is those bastards from the caravan. I've seen this guy once before, but I don't remember him well. However, I'm absolutely certain that he's from the caravan!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianzong's face darkened.

In the storyline, he did not bring Yingxi to Wanbaolou today.

It didn't specify where they went to have fun.

But there was absolutely no storyline where Yingxi was brought to Wanbaolou, nor was there any storyline where Yingxi was arrested.

Because such important events are usually included in the plot.

I never expected to run into this kind of thing while just going out for a walk. The worst part is that those thieves were actually members of a caravan.

Doesn't this directly push him into the great battle between the Crimson Mansion and the Caravan?

Moreover, Zhou Xianzong remembered that in the subsequent fierce battle between the Crimson Tower and the caravan, the Crimson Tower suffered heavy damage.

The entire caravan was killed in battle, and its leader was seriously wounded. He eventually encountered Xiao Potian, who killed him.

Xiao Potian also obtained all the savings that the caravan had accumulated over the years.

Given the current strength of the caravan, it's impossible for them to confront the Crimson Tower head-on, let alone inflict serious damage. The only option is a sneak attack.

But they didn't know the location of the Crimson Tower, so they captured Yingxi?

Zhou Xianzong had at least seen all the plot points, so his perspective on things was different.

Therefore, it can be explained clearly.

The reason the caravan captured Yingxi was because Yingxi had once stayed at the Crimson Pavilion, and somehow the caravan members found out about it.

Taking advantage of the brief lull, they kidnapped Yingxi.

Since they have something to ask for, Yingxi should be safe for the time being.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xianzong breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't afraid that thieves were smart; he was afraid that they were brainless and only knew how to kill.

"Please give me a day, Young Master Zhou. Within a day, I will definitely find out the whereabouts of the caravan."

The shopkeeper said through gritted teeth.

"Boss, what happened? Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Erhu asked, puzzled.

"The caravan has kidnapped Yingxi."

Zhou Xianzong said in an icy voice.

Upon hearing this, Erhu realized the seriousness of the situation and, without further ado, immediately went down to find someone.

Watching Erhu's retreating figure, Zhou Xianzong had no choice but to suppress his impatience and wait for news.

[Damn it, I was planning to take Yingxi to the city today, and maybe try to win her over a bit, so she wouldn't spend all her time thinking about how to kill me and how to get revenge.]

[And then, damn it, the guy got captured by the caravan halfway through the journey.]

[That's why they say the caravan won't last much longer. If I really catch them, none of them will survive.]

What bad luck! I finally got a few days off, and then this happened.

After finishing his diary entry, Zhou Xianzong waited patiently.

At the same time, the entire Tianwu City was in an uproar.

At Zhou Xianzong's command, countless people secretly began investigating the whereabouts of the caravan.

The female leads could all tell that Zhou Xianzong was truly angry this time.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, Mo Wu sipped her tea and gave an order.

"I heard that the caravan has come to the city again recently."

"I haven't heard of that. After you refused the caravan last time, Miss, they lost contact with us. I guess they were afraid we would leak the information to the Crimson Pavilion."

Li Fugui told the truth.

"Didn't you go with a caravan before?"

Mo Wu asked another question.

"I've been there a few times and I know their locations."

Li Fugui nodded.

"Here's what we'll do. Have someone go look for them. If you find any news about a caravan, let me know."

Mo Wu said calmly.

"yes."

Li Fugui readily agreed.

Although he didn't know why his young mistress suddenly wanted to find a caravan, he didn't ask any further questions.
