The second floor, which originally housed many things, was now empty.
There was obvious astonishment on the old man's angry face. Are they all gone?
The next second, his old face twisted into a mess and he let out a huge roar: "Damn it!"
The people who followed him up were also stunned...even more shocked than when they saw the body in a pool of blood downstairs just now.
Where are the things?
How is that possible!
Without waiting for everyone to react, the old man went straight to the third floor.
“Damn it!!!”
The old man's even more angry roar sounded again.
Everyone looked up and their hearts skipped a beat. Could even the third floor be emptied out?
This is the accumulation of two or three years, and it’s just gone like that?
Besides...it hasn't been long since the fire started!
No matter how many people come and how many storage magic weapons they bring, it will take to empty it!
"No matter who you are, I will make you pay the price!"
The old man roared, thought of something, turned around and went downstairs.
“Master…”
One person wanted to say something.
“Get out of the way!”
The old man shouted, pushed away the people blocking his way, and came to a room on the first floor.
This room, on the first floor, is very remote and inconspicuous.
Only a few people know that there is a basement under this room!
The things stored in this basement are more valuable than those on the third floor!
The old man didn't care how many people were behind him. He moved the shelf, and with a click... the ground opened, revealing a passage.
Many people widened their eyes, wondering how there could be a passage here?
"Stay outside!"
The old man still had a trace of rationality. After saying something, he strode in.
He felt somewhat relieved in his heart that nothing had changed.
This place should not have been discovered.
But when he passed through the passage and came to the basement, he could no longer control himself.
The violent murderous intent burst out instantly.
The hard bluestone under his feet suddenly shattered.
This basement has also been emptied!
“Damn it!”
The old man was furious and punched the air.
If he didn't throw this punch, he would probably be so angry that he would spit out mouthfuls of blood!
“Master…”
The disciple followed and trembled when he saw the empty basement.
There's nothing here?
"Block all places, notify Zhao Cangqiong, and block Sifang City!"
The old man roared.
"yes."
The disciple reacted, responded quickly, and went out quickly.
Bang.
The old man threw another punch, causing the basement to shake and several rocks to fall to the ground.
He didn't stay any longer and turned to go out.
Outside, it's even more chaotic now.
One group of people put out the fire, while another group blocked the entire area.
Especially the old man's murderous look made everyone at the scene tremble in their hearts. This was going to be a big event.
The old man walked out of the three-story building, flew into the air, and stood under the night sky.
He surveyed the area, trying to spot anything unusual.
However, this area is too large and it is difficult to find anything at night.
One figure after another appeared beside him.
"What's lost?"
Someone asked.
“Everything is lost.”
The old man gritted his teeth.
"The basement... is also empty."
“…”
The expressions of several people changed, and they were instantly filled with murderous intent.
"Qingyun Tower...Qingyunzi!"
The old man thought of something and his eyes became even colder.
"Even if it wasn't Qing Yunzi who did it, Qing Yun Tower still has to give me an explanation for this matter!"
Outside this area, powerful men such as Zhao Cangqiong have arrived.
However, they did not come here rashly, what if something happened?
"City Lord Zhao, my master said to seal off Sifang City."
The disciple came closer and said in a deep voice.
"Block the Sifang City?"
Hearing this, Zhao Cangqiong frowned. What on earth had happened to make that old man say "blockade Sifang City"?
"right."
The disciple nodded.
"Luo Bao, what happened? What's the matter with this fire?"
Someone asked.
"Someone deliberately set fire, killed people, and...looted our warehouse."
The disciple gritted his teeth.
"What?"
Everyone was surprised. Who was so bold as to come here and kill people, set fire... and loot everything?
"I will tell you the details when my master comes... City Lord Zhao, order the blockade of Sifang City. No one is allowed to enter but no one is allowed to leave."
The disciple looked at Zhao Cangqiong and said in a deep voice.
Under the cover of night, many strong men looked at each other, then looked at the flames in the sky and the several strong men in Shanhai Tower, and they all knew... this was a big deal.
It has been a long time since such a big event happened in Sifang City.
"Someone come!"
After a brief thought, Zhao Cangqiong immediately made a decision to cooperate with Shanhai Tower!
After all, Shanhai Tower is one of the controlling forces in Sifang City. Now that something has happened, he certainly can't just ignore it.
The four forces have long had a tacit understanding that they can do whatever they want on normal days, but once outsiders come to harm their interests, the four forces will unite against them.
That's it for now.
Soon, under Zhao Cangqiong's instructions, a large number of strong men blocked the gates of Sifang City, and even activated the city defense formation.
Such an action also alarmed the entire Sifang City and all the practitioners.
The Longteng Chamber of Commerce is holding an auction, and many powerful outsiders have arrived... Now that they have encountered this, how can they not rush over to see the excitement.
A large number of people gathered outside Shanhai Tower.
They did not rush forward. It would be no good to get too close at this moment.
Wang Pingbei was also among them.
He originally wanted to hide in the dark, but he was really worried about Xiao Chen. Besides, with so many people coming, if he was discovered hiding, it would be even harder to explain.
So he walked out of the darkness and mixed in with the crowd of onlookers.
There were so many people coming to watch the fun that his presence did not attract anyone's attention.
"More and more powerful people are coming... Can Xiao Chen still escape?"
Wang Pingbei's face turned pale and he was extremely anxious.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything.
He knew very well that with his strength, if he rushed in now, let alone saving Xiao Chen... he would die without knowing how he died!
The fire gradually died down.
The night darkened.
The person in charge of Shanhai Tower met with Zhao Cangqiong and others.
"Senior Gongsun, I have already issued an order to seal off the entire Sifang City. No one is allowed to enter but no one is allowed to leave..."
Zhao Cangqiong looked at the old man and said.
"However, it shouldn't be too long, otherwise they will definitely have opinions."
"I know."
Gongsun Zhen nodded.
At this moment, he was much calmer than before.
He knew very well that it was possible to seal off Sifang City temporarily, but it would be unreasonable to keep it sealed forever.
After all, there are so many powerful people in the city, and not all of them will give face to Shanhailou.
"Gongsun, what happened? I just heard from your apprentice that someone killed people, set fire to the house, and looted everything."
Someone asked.
Hearing this, the veins on Gongsun Zhen's forehead twitched a few times and he became a little uneasy again.
Thinking of something, he suddenly looked at Wu Qingming.
There was a hint of gloating on Wu Qingming's face, but when he saw him looking at him, he frowned slightly.
"Look at what I am doing."
"You, Qingyun Tower, must give me an explanation for this matter."
Gongsun said angrily.
"What? I, Qingyun Tower, will give you an explanation?"
Wu Qingming was stunned and also very angry.
"Why should I ask Qingyun Tower to give you an explanation for something like this that happened in your Shanhai Tower? Do you think it was Qingyun Tower that did it?"
"Yes, it was Qingyunzi from your Qingyun Tower who did it."
Gongsun Zhen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew in his heart that this matter most likely had nothing to do with Qingyunzi of Qingyun Tower, but at this time, even if it had nothing to do with him, he had to bite the bullet and ask Qingyun Tower for an explanation.
"Qing Yunzi?"
Wu Qingming was stunned again, his eyes widened. Why was Qing Yunzi involved again?
The young master of Tianqing Sect died, and the murderer left a bloody message, saying that the murderer was Qingyunzi from Qingyun Tower.
This matter has made him extremely anxious, and he is thinking about how to give an explanation to the Tianqing Sect.
"You guys come with me."
Gongsun Zhen said nothing more and flew down.
Everyone looked at each other and quickly followed.
When they arrived at the third-floor building and saw the body in a pool of blood and words written in blood on the ground, they were all surprised.
"The murderer and arsonist is Qingyunzi from Qingyun Tower."
Wu Qingming stared at the bloody words in amazement.
"No, it's impossible..."
"Qingyun Tower, won't you give us an explanation for this matter?"
Gongsun Zhen asked coldly.
"No, this is a frame-up..."
Wu Qingming reacted and was shocked and angry.
Who the hell did this? Why is the blame always placed on Qingyun Tower?
He killed Qing Yunzi, the young master of Tian Qing Sect, and now he is killing people and setting fire in Shanhai Tower?
"Frame-up? You mean to say that my Shanhai Tower suffered such a huge loss, and then wrote this bloody word just to frame your Qingyun Tower?"
As soon as Gongsun Zhen finished speaking, murderous intent filled the air.
"That's not what I meant. Someone else is framing me for Qingyun Tower."
Wu Qingming shook his head.
"Qing Yunzi is in Qing Yun Tower and will never leave. How can he come to Sifang City?"
"City Lord Zhao, everyone... you are all witnesses, and you all saw the bloody words."
Gongsun Zhen looked at Zhao Cangqiong and others again.
"I will report this matter and ask Qingyun Tower to give an explanation."
Zhao Cangqiong and the others looked at each other. Although they all felt that it was most likely not related to Qingyun Tower, no one would speak for Qingyun Tower at this time.
Not only did they not say anything, they also hoped that the conflict on the second floor would get bigger and bigger!
"Qing Yunzi... Could it be that Qing Yunzi really came to Sifang City?"
A cold voice sounded from not far away.
Everyone looked and saw that the person who spoke was Zhou Zhengyang, the leader of Tianqing Sect.
"impossible!"
Wu Qingming denied it immediately.
"It's impossible for him to leave Qingyun Tower at this time."
"Senior Wu, you said Qing Yunzi didn't leave. What evidence do you have?"
Zhao Cangqiong spoke slowly.
"you……"
Wu Qingming looked at Zhao Cangqiong. He didn't expect that this guy would also get involved.
"If you say it's a frame-up, you have to come up with a plausible reason."
"There are rumors outside that Qing Yunzi is preparing to build a divine foundation. Could it be true?"
A group of powerful men stared at the old man, obviously wanting to take this opportunity to find out whether Qing Yunzi really wanted to build a divine foundation.
“That’s right!”
The old man gritted his teeth and said it anyway.
He knew very well that if he didn't give a reasonable reason, the blame would definitely fall on Qingyun Tower!
