Chapter 284

Before the island lord Zhang Qiu came out of retreat, the Yinfeng Island was in chaos, and the young city lord had another problem, so even the city lord's mansion was in chaos, and people sneaked in and out without noticing anything.

As soon as the island lord Zhang came out of retreat, the Yinfeng Island was in a state of chaos, and the actions of all parties stopped.

At least no one dared to oppose the island lord Zhang, and the various orders of the city lord's mansion were quickly executed, and they were no longer blocked everywhere like before, which made people feel unhappy.

Zhang Qiu was forced out of retreat by his subordinates. He also knew that something must have happened, so he was called out, otherwise the subordinates would not have the courage.

Although he had expected it, he was still so angry that he almost vomited blood when he knew what happened.

He first thought that it must be those local aristocratic families on the island who did not obey him and took advantage of his seclusion to do something. He immediately issued an order to block Yinfeng Island. After contacting his brother, he rushed to see his only son.

At this time, in the yard of the young city lord, the servants who had been rescued were trembling with fear. When Zhang Qiu knew what happened, he almost fainted. As soon as

his son got into trouble, someone ran into his son's yard and looted the entire yard.

The group that initially sent the young city lord back in trouble really wanted to die when they saw the empty bedroom. If this matter were to spread, I don’t know how much of a joke it would cause.

However, because no one shocked the City Lord's Mansion at first, the people in the City Lord's Mansion were also in a panic, and the news that the young city lord's yard was robbed by the thief still spread.

The doctors and pharmacists of the City Lord's Mansion all gathered in Zhang Fengchun's yard to discuss ways to treat the young city lord. Now Zhang Fengchun is in a coma.

After diagnosis, there are two reasons for this situation. One is that the operation of the sacrificial formation was interrupted, and Zhang Fengchun, as the object of the sacrifice, suffered a backlash. The second is the trauma caused by the cultivator who hijacked him.

Everyone can feel that the air pressure around the city lord is extremely low. If the young city lord was not here, I am afraid that the city lord's anger would have exploded long ago.

Zhang Qiu was still angry, and with a wave of his hand, he killed all the people who served the young city lord in the yard: "What's the point of keeping useless people? Select a new group of people to serve Fengchun!"

"Yes, city lord." The housekeeper hurried to arrange the staff.

"Come on, tell me what happened in the past few days again."

"Yes, city lord."

Zhang Qiu wanted to find the suspicious people among them. After the clues provided by several parties, Zhang Qiu focused his attention on the four Qi Condensation Realm cultivators they wanted to arrest yesterday.

They arrested people on the charge of stealing the young city lord's treasures, but in the middle of the night, the young city lord's yard was really robbed, it was hard not to arouse suspicion.

"Search the entire island for me, and then post their portraits. Anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded by the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Yes, City Lord."

"Seal off Silver Phoenix Island for me. Don't let any message get out, not even a fly."

"Yes."

Many forces in the city learned that the young city lord's yard had been robbed and stolen, and they were secretly happy about the misfortune.

In addition, the City Lord's Mansion suddenly seized four Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, and many people reacted, it couldn't be these four Qi Condensation Realm cultivators who did it.

The Du family had not slept all night, and they were still in good spirits. They gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Are those four cultivators really the ones who swept away all the valuables in the young city lord's yard?"

"It's really possible. Didn't the young city lord accuse them of stealing the treasures in the young city lord's yard? I guess the four cultivators are not convinced, and since they have been accused of this crime, they might as well confirm it."

"I'm afraid these four cultivators may not be in the Qi Condensation Realm, otherwise how could they have entered the City Lord's Mansion and the young city lord's yard. I heard that everyone in the yard was thrown into a room by the thief and locked up. By the way, according to them, there were indeed four people."

"It makes sense now. If the young city lord wakes up, he will probably be shocked by this incident and faint again. There are actually people who are so brave as to do such a thing."

"You said that the cultivators who destroyed the sacrifice of the young city lord are not these people."

"If it is really them, then they are not simple. The elder in the city lord's mansion who was in the late Yuandan realm died in their hands. It is estimated that they are not four Juqi realm masters, but four strong Yuandan realm masters. They came to our Yinfeng Island hiding their cultivation. They didn't go specifically for the Zhang family father and son, could they..."

The person who made this guess pointed in the direction of Shengyuan Sect, suspecting that it was a faction in the sect that was not in harmony with the Zhang brothers, and sent people to infiltrate Yinfeng Island in order to catch the Zhang family father and son and suppress their lineage.

Needless to say, many people believe in this guess and inference, otherwise how could someone attack the Zhang family father and son in the city lord's mansion for no reason?

If Feng Ming and the others knew about this idea, they would be furious. What does it mean to have no connection with someone? Couldn't they just help someone when they saw injustice?

Now that they knew about this, they couldn't just sit there and watch a thousand Qi Condensation cultivators die.

It's just that those aristocratic families are used to doing things from the perspective of profit, and they judge others by their own standards, thinking that others are the same.

Since the City Lord's Mansion focuses on capturing these four cultivators, and aristocratic families such as the Du family are also secretly taking action, they want to find these four people before the City Lord's Mansion and get more favorable clues from them.

Even if the matter of the sacrifice is reported to Shengyuan Sect, the Zhang brothers can still deny it.

Human witnesses? Those Qi Condensation cultivators who escaped were probably dealt with before they arrived at Shengyuan Sect.

Physical evidence? Who can say that the remaining formation is a sacrificial formation?

What they thought was that the cultivators who destroyed Zhang Fengchun’s sacrifice might have recorded more powerful evidence with the photo stone, and that’s what they wanted.

As for whether those cultivators could escape Zhang Qiu’s intensive search, they didn’t care.

However, even if the City Lord’s Mansion and the people from other aristocratic families turned the entire Silver Phoenix Island upside down, they couldn’t find any trace of the four cultivators.

At most, they could only find out when they came to Silver Phoenix Island and which inn they stayed in.

However, on the day when the young city lord got into trouble, when the city guards and the young master of the Jin family went to the inn to arrest people, they disappeared out of thin air, and no one has seen them since then.

This also made everyone more certain that they were not true Qi Condensation Realm cultivators.

Someone privately said: "It is destined that the young city lord will be attacked by the formation. If no one breaks it and captures the four cultivators, the young city lord will not be able to escape this disaster."

Zhang Qiu personally searched Yinfeng Island back and forth, but still found nothing.

There was no record of them landing on the ship that left Yinfeng Island that day, and no other strange faces boarded their ship.

Some people speculated that the four cultivators left directly from the sea, but it is not easy to do this. The unpredictable dangers in the sea are much more than on the sea surface. Who would not want to go to the sea to seek death?

Or is there someone waiting to pick them up at sea?

Yinfeng Island is a large island, attached to the eight major islands of Shengyuan Island. The complete closure of Yinfeng Island, not allowing any ships to enter or leave, is no small matter.

Therefore, many forces and cultivators outside the island soon knew that Yinfeng Island was closed for some reason.

The less they knew the reason, the more curious they were. Some people tried to get in touch with the people on the island, but they couldn't get in touch, which meant that something bigger had happened on the island.

The merchants who traveled to Yinfeng Island could not bear it the most. If their business was delayed for a day, they would lose a lot of Yuanjing. Whether it was the merchant ships trapped on Yinfeng Island or the merchant ships that could not enter the waters of Yinfeng Island, they were all very anxious.

One of the ships was a ship of Liuyang Pavilion, which carried cultivators while transporting goods. The cultivators on the ship who were preparing to go to Yinfeng Island complained continuously.

"What on earth is Yinfeng Island doing? Why won't they let us enter the island? We are drifting on the sea day after day, when will it end?"

"Something must have happened on Yinfeng Island. The only one who can seal the island is the island owner Zhang himself. No other force can do it."

"Then at least give us a time to seal the island, otherwise we will just keep waiting on the sea? Isn't this a waste of our time?"

"It's not that our ship can't enter Yinfeng Island. There are many ships waiting. Those who want to leave Yinfeng Island are also forced to stay there. Be patient and wait a little longer."

"Did someone ask the steward on the ship what happened on Yinfeng Island? Our ship belongs to Liuyang Pavilion. Liuyang Pavilion is the most well-informed and powerful. Could it be that they don't know anything about it?"

This is a good saying. In addition to the steward in charge of the itinerary, there is also Liu Danxu, the young master of Liuyang Pavilion.

However, except for our own people, no one knows that this young master is on the ship.

Standing at the highest point of the ship, one can see the Silver Phoenix Island in front. Liu Danxu looked at the island and sneered, "I never thought that Zhang Qiu would suffer such a big loss one day. Are you sure it was the work of those four cultivators disguised as Qi Condensation Realm?"

The steward was helpless about the young master's laughter at the Zhang family father and son, and said, "Now all the clues point to them, but they disappeared out of thin air and no one can find them."

Liu Danxu laughed even louder after hearing this, "Zhang Fengchun, that useless guy, not only had his sacrifice destroyed, but even his own yard was destroyed. Someone stole the opportunity, do you think it was really Zhang Fengchun who framed someone for an untrue crime, and someone simply confirmed the crime?"

The manager said helplessly: "I don't know."

Liu Danxu still laughed: "I think that's what happened this time. Not to mention, these four cultivators are really interesting. This young master can't wait to get to know them."

The manager wiped his sweat and said, let's not do it. Those four cultivators are obviously not good-tempered people. If the young master gets involved with them again, isn't he afraid that the sky of Feihong Continent will be exposed?

Liu Danxu's face turned cold again, and he said disdainfully: "Zhang Fengchun, that bastard, actually went to the trouble of coming up with the method of offering sacrifices. He deserves this disaster. Do you think that old man Zhang Qiu also wants to do something? I heard that this old man also sent people into the Dongmu Dynasty to snatch the Soul Condensing Pill."

Although he was born in a high position, he was different from people like Zhang Fengchun. He looked down on the practice of sacrificing other people's lives to himself. In his opinion, the four cultivators destroyed it too well.
