"What? All the strong men from the Qinghe branch of the Salt Gang are missing? Including Elder Wang, who is at the seventh level of physical training and came from the Salt Gang headquarters?"

"Elder Wang is a seventh-level body refinement expert, and he also brought several fifth- and sixth-level body refinement experts with him. Who could make them disappear without a sound?"

"Is it weird? It shouldn't be. The maids and servants in the Salt Gang branch are all fine. Someone must be looking for revenge!"

"Could it be the sharpshooter who shot and killed Bai Gongfeng of the Salt Gang?"

The powerful people including Qinghe County Government, the three major families, and the Qinghe branch of the fishing gang were the first to receive the detailed news and were shocked and terrified.

Qinghe City is just a small county town, and people like Wang Kangan who came from the Salt Gang are absolutely big shots to them.

After all, the county magistrate, the patriarchs of the three major families, and the leader of the fishing gang branch have only reached the fifth level of body training.

If they knew that the person in charge sent by the Salt Gang Headquarters this time was not Wang Kangan, the seventh-level body training elder, but Bai Guinong, the ninth-level body training law enforcement elder.

They might be scared to death! A strong man of the ninth level of body refining is considered a master even in a prefecture city like Yunmeng City, let alone a small Qinghe County.

Those who are strong in the realm of divine power are all well-known figures and are rarely seen.

As big as the Salt Gang, its leader is just a powerful person in the realm of divine power.

When the Divine Power Realm rarely takes action, the ninth level of Body Refining is the top combat power, enough to deal with 99% of the situations.

Qinghe branch of the Salt Gang.

County Lord Chen Fan, County Lieutenant Zhang Long, County Magistrate Chen Dao, as well as the leaders of the fishing gang branch, the heads of the three major families and other powerful people arrived one after another.

As an official force, the former must come to check it out.

The latter is concerned about their own comfort and wants to know the specific situation.

Zhang Long looked at the survivors who had gathered together and asked, "Did you hear any unusual sounds or see any unusual situations last night?"

"No!"

"I woke up and found it was quieter than usual, and then I found that all the big shots were gone. At first I thought they had all gone out!"

"Me too!"

Everyone shook their heads, there was no useful clue at all.

After Zhou Chen killed Bai Guinong in a sneak attack, the remaining people were no match for him. With the help of Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi, he easily defeated all the enemies.

Even if there were maids nearby, Ji Fengxia could make them fall asleep with just a mental illusion and easily control them.

Chen Fan, Zhang Long and others saw that the crowd did not seem to be lying, and their eyes became more serious, indicating that the person who made the move was extremely powerful.

In this world, disappearance is often fatal.

There are so many ways to deal with corpses.

Burn, store in storage, eat strangely...

However, the maids and servants were all alive, which meant that the possibility of a strange incident was very small. Moreover, the murderer was able to let these maids and servants go, which showed that he could still clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment.

This was the only comforting news that everyone received.

The murderer would not attack them without reason.

They also speculated that the murderer should be the sharpshooter who killed Bai Ruyun or his accomplice.

Chen Fan just took a symbolic look. He had no interest in finding the murderer and did not dare to investigate.

What's more, the imperial court has never interfered with gangs and sects like these, and always left them to solve their own problems.

And they also like to solve it themselves.

The Salt Gang Headquarters will handle this matter themselves.

Zhang Long also did not stay long. He left a few people to guard the scene and then left.

This is especially true for the fishing gang branches and the three major families.

They were too late to avoid it.

After returning, they instructed their disciples to keep a low profile.

Even those playboys who loved to cause trouble outside were confined to their homes to prevent them from offending the wrong people and bringing disaster to the family.

…

It's past noon.

Zhou Chen got up and went to the county government to resign.

When they arrived at the county government office, Chen Fan, Zhang Long and Chen Dao were all there. Although they didn't want to get involved in the destruction of the Qinghe branch of the Salt Gang, this incident still had a significant impact.

Zhou Chen greeted the three people and said directly: "Your Excellency, I am here to resign today. Please approve my resignation!"

"Resign?"

"What happened? Why did you resign suddenly?"

Zhang Long asked.

"It's like this. Yesterday I found a new master and I have to go to the sect to practice with him, so I can't stay and serve any longer."

"Master?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Chen with some curiosity.

Zhang Long asked, "Which sect does your master belong to?"

In his opinion, Zhou Chen has good talent, but just good. People who can look down on Zhou Chen are probably not from big sects.

It is better for ordinary small sects to stay.

"My master is Li Changfeng from the Divine Arrow Peak of the Qingyun Sect."

Zhou Chen did not hide anything.

When he is promoted to a true disciple in Qingyun Sect, the news will quickly spread throughout Qingyun and Yunmeng Prefectures, and he will even become quite famous in the Daqian Dynasty.

"who?"

Chen Fan, Chen Dao, and Zhang Long trembled and widened their eyes, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

"You...you said your master is Master Li of the Divine Arrow Peak of the Qingyun Sect?"

Chen Fan stared at Zhou Chen in disbelief.

He had wanted to send his daughter to join the Qingyun Sect before, but in fact he only hoped that she could enter the outer sect.

Even if you become an outer sect disciple, it is still a meteoric rise.

And Zhou Chen became Li Changfeng's apprentice, which was the treatment he received as a true disciple.

Moreover, if Zhou Chen can become Li Changfeng's apprentice, it means that he can practice Yi's archery skills, which can be said to be a gifted talent.

etc.

Yi archery? Salt Gang...

Chen Fan, Chen Dao and Zhang Long were shocked and suddenly thought of a series of major events that had happened recently.

It starts with Shi Baoyu being killed.

First, Shi Lei, the leader of the Qinghe branch of the Salt Gang, and Bai Ruyun, the Salt Gang's priest, were suspected to have been shot dead by Yi's archery.

Follow closely.

The chief elder of the Salt Gang came to look for the murderer but failed and disappeared mysteriously.

Now the truth seems to have come out.

Zhou Chen mastered the Yi archery technique and killed Shi Baoyu who had offended him, which led to a series of events.

His archery skills also successfully attracted Li Changfeng, the master of the Qingyun Sect, and he was accepted as a disciple by Li Changfeng.

Perfect connection.

Fits perfectly.

The way they looked at Zhou Chen suddenly became one of awe.

Not to mention Zhou Chen’s current identity, Zhou Chen’s strength alone is at least at the sixth level of body refining, which is higher than all of them.

And Zhou Chen is only eighteen years old, and his talent is so terrifying.

No wonder he was able to master Yi's archery skills and become Li Changfeng's disciple.

"Congratulations, Master Zhou. I never thought that a real dragon like Master Zhou would appear in Qinghe County without knowing it. You are really blind!"

Chen Fan was the first to react and hurriedly congratulated him without mentioning a word about the Salt Gang.

"Congratulations, Master Zhou. No wonder Master Zhou is so good at archery. It turns out that he has learned the Yi Archery Technique, which is considered the most difficult archery technique in Daqian. He is truly gifted and has a bright future."

County Magistrate Chen Dao immediately flattered him.

"Congratulations, Brother Chen, you have emerged from the abyss like a hidden dragon and soared into the sky!"

Zhang Long felt mixed emotions, surprised and happy.

It turns out that the younger brother I have been taking care of is actually a big boss.

The kind that could kill him with just one slap! Fortunately, they have a good relationship and are even in the same boat! He is really holding on to a powerful person!? ...
