Soon, the people who investigated the scene came to report: "Prime Minister, Mr. Yang left a clue before he died."
The middle-aged man with triangular eyes was none other than Sun Xun, the prime minister of the Yan state.
He approached Yang Long, staring at the few words written under his hand, and his face darkened: "What does this mean?"
"It could be a guest ship from Xiaoyao Tower. The young master just came out of Xiaoyao Tower." One of the subordinates, a capable one, immediately analyzed.
Sun Xun's face was frosty: "Let's go to Xiaoyao Tower!"
Although the location of Xiaoyao Tower is mysterious, that's only true for ordinary guests. How could people like them, who are actually in control of Yi County, not know where Xiaoyao Tower is?
However, Xiaoyao Tower had usually taken good care of his relationships with the upper echelons and provided him with generous tributes, so these people had turned a blind eye to his behavior. But now that his son had been killed, how could he possibly tolerate it?
Meanwhile, back in his room, Daji, who was still on guard, lowered her attack stance after seeing him.
Seeing this, Zuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Do you really have no soul?"
Unfortunately, the other party remained as silent as a robot, watching him without any response.
Helpless, Zu'an had no choice but to take out the storage bag he had found on the thick-browed Taoist. As for the other party's corpse, he had already disposed of it on the way.
In this era of cultivation, a direct shock of ice and fire would leave not even ashes behind.
Upon seeing the jade pendant, Zu'an finally breathed a sigh of relief; the Purple Frost Divine Milk that his Empress sister needed was finally secured.
He held the jade pendant in his palm and examined it. The patterns on it were strange, like an abstract map. But if it was a map, why couldn't Xiaoyao Tower decipher it?
He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he put the jade pendant away and then checked the other things.
"Huh, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!" This is an unexpected surprise. The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was previously bought by Sun Ji, and then snatched by the Thick-Browed Taoist. Now, by chance, it has fallen into my hands again.
I've already played five rounds now. I wonder if I'll be as powerful as the legends say once I collect nine.
He then searched through his storage bag for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't find what he wanted.
"These two don't even have a single ounce between them? They're broke!" Zu'an couldn't help but complain.
Previously in the capital, the imperial court provided for his food, clothing, daily necessities, and even cultivation resources, so he didn't feel anything special. The wealth he gained in Mingyue City even made him feel like a rich man.
But after the auction, he realized how poor he was; the expenses on the path of cultivation were a bottomless pit.
He then realized that Sun Ji had spent so much money to acquire the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and the Purple Frost Divine Milk Jade Pendant from Xiaoyao Tower, so naturally he wouldn't have any money left on him.
A rogue cultivator like Thick-browed Taoist usually engages in murder and robbery. He would have already converted his money into resources and spent it all. He probably came to Xiaoyao Tower this time to spend the last of his money. It's obvious that he came to find a fat sheep.
"What bad luck!" He did find some pills and weapons in his storage bag, but these things might be considered treasures in the martial arts world. However, for someone who came from the imperial palace, these junks were really beneath his notice.
"Huh, what's this?" Zuan suddenly noticed a yellowed booklet, which looked quite old.
"A Thousand Faces?" Upon seeing those words on the homepage, Zu An immediately knew this was no ordinary book. The material looked like it was made of old paper that would crumble at the slightest touch. However, when he held it in his hand, he sensed that it was not ordinary paper, but rather made of a special material that was impervious to water and fire.
