Gu Yao and Chi Changye were walking in the academy. From time to time, students flew past them and over their heads. Unlike their previous worried expressions, they now looked a little more excited and walked in a hurry. Judging from the direction they were going, they were clearly outside the academy.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Li appeared and took them upstairs, saying as they walked: "I really don't understand these people in the academy. Now the news that the Shi family has a treasure is spreading like wildfire. You can see that many people are running outside. Tsk, they also want to find treasures."
Gu Yao was stunned: "They want treasures but not their lives? Treasures are not so easy to get."
Zhou Li agreed: "Yes, but not many people think so. They think that maybe the treasure will choose the destined person, and maybe they happen to be that destined person. It's better to try their luck than to do nothing. And now it's not just our Tianfu Academy, other sects have also mixed in, which makes those villains who killed the Shi family members seem insignificant."
"You are here." Jiang Yan looked at them and smiled, "Are you interested in making this trip?"
Just now they were talking about the students and cultivators outside who were willing to die, and now Senior Brother Jiang is asking them whether they want their lives or treasures?
Seeing Gu Yao's eyes widened, Jiang Yan explained in a soft voice: "According to reliable information, Junior Sister Shi has appeared, so this time our main task is to find Junior Sister Shi, and find out what kind of force is the cultivator who destroyed the Shi family. This force is hidden behind the scenes and people have to guard against it."
Gu Yao looked at Chi Changye, who nodded: "Okay, I will protect Xiao Yao." He turned to Gu Yao and said, "Just think of it as an experience outside, it will be good for your practice."
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Ye."
"Then it's settled, we need to set off as soon as possible." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
Gu Yao and Chi Changye asked Tian Feirong and the little fat man. The latter two felt that they would be a drag, so they volunteered to stay and look after the academy's business for them. However, if they ran into Tian Feiyang outside, Tian Feirong said that if they ran into him, he would ask Gu Yao to pass on some things to his elder brother. Gu Yao would naturally not refuse.
On that day, the two of them boarded Jiang Yan's flying magic weapon, accompanied by Teacher Fang and several other old students with strong strength. With such a lineup, even if they ran into a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, they might not be without the ability to fight.
Therefore, Gu Yao also relaxed his mood. As Chi Changye said, he would just treat it as an outing to gain experience and broaden his horizons. Cultivation is not about building a car behind closed doors.
"The last news was that the escaped Shi family leader went to the ancestral land of the Shi family, and the people behind him also took Junior Sister Shi to chase him. If it hadn't been exposed this time, we wouldn't have known that the Shi family had an ancestral land. It can be seen that the original Shi family had quite a history. It's a pity for the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce after this disaster. The people inside colluded with the cultivators outside, and the Shi family members were almost all killed or injured. The huge industry left behind was extremely coveted. However, in just a few days, the huge Shicheng Chamber of Commerce fell apart, and many shops have replaced the original plaques."
"Do you know who owns the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce in Shifang City now?"
"Who took it?" Gu Yao asked curiously, "The storefront of the Chamber of Commerce alone is worth a lot of spirit stones, not to mention the many rare treasures inside..." As he said this, he had an idea and thought about who might have taken it.
Sure enough, the senior brother who explained it confirmed his guess: "It fell into the hands of the City Lord's Mansion. Tsk, I was also
suspicious. He swallowed the rest of his words and made a gesture to shut up. Gu Yaochong blinked. Did he mean that the City Lord's Mansion of Shifang City had a hand behind the scenes? Or did it mean that several people had a hand?
The Shi family's ancestral land.
A group of people came on a flying magic weapon. When they were still quite a distance from the ground, a monk dropped a heavy object. It fell to the ground with a "bang". The heavy object groaned in pain. It was clearly a person.
The person tried desperately to move on the ground, but his spiritual power was applied to his limbs and his meridians were cut off. He couldn't move far at all, and someone landed in front of him.
The man raised his head with great effort, and when he saw who was standing in front of him, he let out a howl and his eyes shot out hatred and anger. The monk in front of him didn't care, but squatted down and patted the man's shoulder, and sent a stream of spiritual power into him. The man who could only make a howl cursed, "Sun Fengzhi, you bastard, you are ungrateful and treacherous. My father will never forgive you and will cut you into pieces, so that you can neither live nor die!"
"Haha, cousin Yanyan, do you think you are still the little princess of the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce? Don't you know that the Shicheng Chamber of Commerce has been destroyed? Most of your Shi family members are dead, and only your father is left who ignored you and the Shi clan members and fled alone. He knew that you, my cousin, were in our hands, but look at your father who doted on you the most. Did he show up to save you? Haha, cousin Yanyan, do you know? You are worse than a dog now!" After Sun Fengzhi finished speaking, he stood up and stepped on Shi Yanyan's wrist, crushing it mercilessly with his foot. The sound of bones breaking could be heard. Shi Yanyan let out a miserable scream and fainted.
Sun Fengzhi, however, showed no sympathy. He turned around and shouted to the empty space: "Uncle, seeing cousin Yanyan in such a state, don't you feel sorry for her at all? Uncle, won't you come out?"
Sun Fengzhi shouted several times in a row, but there was no reaction from the empty space in front of him. A monk covered in a black robe walked up to Sun Fengzhi. Sun Fengzhi immediately stepped back a few steps, saluted respectfully, licked his dry lips and said: "It seems that Shi Jingcheng dotes on his daughter on the surface, but in fact, Shi Yanyan is always at his side in his heart." "We can abandon it. We really overestimate Shi Jingcheng."
The black-robed monk said hoarsely, "No defense. Shi Jingcheng, you can indeed watch your daughter being humiliated, but we have chased you here. Do you think we really don't know the secret that your Shi family has kept for many years? Besides, your Shi family bloodline is in our hands. We can do it without you, Shi Jingcheng." There
was still no movement in front. The black-robed monk snorted coldly, waved his hand and ordered, "Bleed." A monk stepped forward, pulled up Shi Yanyan's arm and was about to cut it open with a knife.
Suddenly, the space in front of him fluctuated, and a figure finally appeared: "Wait!"
Sun Fengzhi smiled proudly, "Sure enough, the senior was right. Without Shi Jingcheng, Shi Yanyan's blood will work just as well."
"Sun Fengzhi!" Shi Jingcheng looked middle-aged, but he looked very weak after days of fleeing. He stared at Sun Fengzhi viciously. He never expected that he would be betrayed by the Sun family. When he saw his daughter who looked like a monster, pain flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by hatred. "My Shi family has been very kind to your Sun family. You colluded with outsiders to wipe out my Shi family. What good will it bring to your Sun family?"
Sun Fengzhi He said disapprovingly: "What you mean by being generous is that you treat my Sun family like slaves? When has your precious daughter not ordered me around? I, Sun Fengzhi, obviously have good qualifications, but your Shi family would rather cultivate people who are not as good as me, and throw me to your precious daughter to clean up her messes. Is this what your Shi family calls being generous? Since you, uncle, won't give it to me, then I have to take it myself."
"What's the use of saying so much, uncle? Is it to delay time? You'd better open your Shi family's secret place as soon as possible and let the senior have a glimpse." Sun Fengzhi said maliciously.
Shi Jingcheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He hated Sun Fengzhi, the Sun family, and his own lover. If his lover hadn't leaked the secret, how would the Sun family know about the hidden ancestral land of the Shi family? However, he was forced into a desperate situation and had to compromise with the enemy: "I can open the secret place, but I need Sun Fengzhi as a hostage in exchange for my daughter."
Sun Fengzhi shuddered and turned to look at the black-robed monk, "Senior, don't listen to his nonsense, he is deliberately trying to take revenge on me." "
Senior, you only need to meet one request of mine, and I can give you the secret place with both hands." Shi Jingcheng laughed sinisterly.
"Senior...ah! "Sun Fengzhi wanted to continue to persuade him, but he was slapped from behind by the black-robed monk and pushed directly towards Shi Jingcheng. Shi Jingcheng stretched out his hand like a claw, grabbed Sun Fengzhi's arm and tore the whole arm off at the shoulder. Sun Fengzhi screamed miserably and felt the pain no less than Shi Yan's concubine, but he endured it very soberly.
Afterwards, Shi Jingcheng didn't even look at his daughter who was held in his hand. He used the secret method passed down by the ancestors of the Shi family to open the secret place. In a blink of an eye, all the people outside disappeared, leaving only a broken arm and a pool of blood.
About half an hour later, another flying magic weapon arrived. Jiang Yan moved his nose and sniffed a few times, and said: "It should be here, Senior Fang, let's go down." "
Gu Yao's mouth twitched when he saw this. What a sharp nose! Could it be that they found this place relying on Senior Brother Jiang's nose and sense of smell?
When they landed on the ground, they saw a broken arm dropped on the ground. It was very obvious that it was torn off by someone with great force. There was also blood splashing all over the ground. Judging from the blood stains and the broken arm, those people had not been away for long.
Jiang Yan stretched out his palm, and a butterfly flapped its wings and flew out from his palm. Its wings were crystal clear. When it left Jiang Yan's palm, colorful spots of light fell down. Under the refraction of light, this butterfly was eerily beautiful.
"This is a crystal butterfly. It is good at tracking, but it is extremely difficult for crystal butterflies to hatch into butterflies. "Chi Changye explained to Gu Yao in a low voice. He found that both the crystal butterfly and the ghost mist insect he encountered before were extremely rare in his previous continent.
"It turns out to be called the crystal butterfly. The name is really vivid and beautiful." Gu Yao praised.
The crystal butterfly flew in front of Jiang Yan and sprinkled a piece of crystal powder before flying forward. Jiang Yan reminded: "Follow me."
If the previous group stayed here, they would find that the road led by the crystal butterfly was the route they entered the secret place.
