Chapter 1069 – You have three days
There were abouhousand people at the foot of Eastflower Mountain in Moon Town. Both sides of the main street were lined with shops. The scenery here was very good. There were many scholars from the city living here. Every day, they would go to the nearby mountains to watch them.
An Zheng did not do anything else for the past two days. After staying at the inn, he spent the next two days drinking tea and listening to books in the teahouse in the town. There was no need for him to intentionally inquire about anything, as a lot of information would be obtained from the conversations of the customers.
“Do you guys know about the major event from a few days ago?”
A young man wearing a scholar’s robe, who thought that he looked natural and unrestrained, shook his head and said proudly: “I just found out, that an immortal mountain fell and crashed not far from Nine Saint Sect.”
“Nine Saint Sect?”
“Yes!”
“The Nine Saint Sect is almost completely out, and before the people from the Immortal Teacher’s Estate arrived, I heard that they found a lot of survivors.”
“Pfft, even you know about this news, the people of Immortal Teacher’s Estate have already known about it. Does Nine Saint Sect dare to go against the Immortal Teacher’s Estate?”
“I don’t know about that. I have a friend who is cultivating in the Nine Saint Sect. Although he is only a fourth generation disciple, he is also participating in the search. He came to Azure Wisdom Sect yesterday to handle some affairs under the orders of the Nine Saint Sect’s Sect Leader and coincidentally met me. We heard about it from him while we were drinking. He said it’s a secret and I’m not allowed to tell others. I’ll tell you guys, you have to keep it a secret. ”
“Speak, we will definitely not speak of this.”
“Rumor has it that when the Immortal Mountain descended, it was actually norue Immortal Mountain, but a gigantic meteorite. Do you know what it is? There were actually many people on that meteor that had come from outside this region. Most of these people were injured, so Nine Saint Sect caught a lot of people, both male and female. When the people of Immortal Teacher’s Estate arrived, they intentionally handed over some of the treasures, but did not hand them over. ”
When An Zheng heard this, his heart was moved. Maybe the Xiao Liu’er and the rest were also captured by the Nine Saint Sect.
“My friend said that the origins of these people are strange. The Nine Saint Sect’s sect master personally hid them. Let me tell you this, there must be some kind of huge secret, if not, even if Nine Saint Sect ate the Bear-Heart Leopard, he would not dare to go against Immortal Teacher’s Estate. ”
“What did your friend come to the Azure Wisdom Sect for?”
“He won’t say, but I guess he’s here to collect the tribute. Every year, the Azure Wisdom Sect would pay a tribute to the Nine Saint Sect, this is already a rule. ”
“A small sect like the Azure Wisdom Sect cannot afford to offend him. Even Immortal Teacher’s Estate has to be courteous to our four sects and three monarchs. ”
An Zheng listened for a while, but didn’t find any special news, so he prepared to leave. He promised to take revenge for Luo Duoduo, and then, he would have to rush to the Nine Saint Sect to find Xiao Liu’er and the others. The scholar’s words were not really trustworthy. It was certain that someone had been captured by the Nine Saint Sect, but it was definitely not that outrageous.
Just as he was about to leave, the door to the teahouse was pushed open from the outside. A few people walked in while chatting and laughing. An Zheng noticed that these people were dressed in cyan sect attire, there was a badge on their chest, and a long sword was stuck in the clouds. It was the Azure Wisdom Sect’s badge.
And what caught An Zheng’s attention was that one of them did not have a badge on his chest.
After they sat down, no one in the teahouse dared to speak out loud. Although the Azure Wisdom Sect was a small sect with only a hundred or so people, they were the absolute hegemon within the circumference of a few hundred kilometers. No one dared to offend a disciple of the Western Azure Wisdom Sect, so their actions were exceptionally arrogant.
“Boss, as usual.”
One of the disciples yelled, then sat down and laughed: “Xiao Jiu, you left your badge on the mountain right? Let me tell you, those people who were burned to death have turned into evil spirits. When they saw your badge, they might come and take your life. ”
The person called Xiao Jiu scolded: “What does it have to do with me? If I want to take my life, I should look for the person from Immortal Teacher’s Estate. It’s that matter that Shang Jiu Yun did. There is someone behind the injustice …”
“Keep your voice down!”
Another person glared at him. “There are too many people here. Do you know if there will be any trouble?”
“People here? “It’s not that I’m looking down on them, but one of these guys dared to talk back. I alone can cut them all alive. Do you believe me?”
The shop owner came over with a nod and a bow, placing four plates of dried fruit and a pot of tea on the table for them.
“Boss, you’re getting more and more insincere. The things in the fruit bowl are getting fewer and fewer.”
“Great sir, how could I dare? “Look at this plate, it’s almost full. I don’t dare to take it off.”
Another Azure Wisdom Sect disciple laughed and said, “Don’t be too excessive. You guys aren’t going to pay anyway, what are you acting so hypocritically for? “Alright, Boss, get out of here. I’ll call you if you need anything.”
The boss left with endless thanks. One could tell that he was so scared that beads of sweat covered his forehead.
After An Zheng listened for a while, he got up and left. He waited on the road to the Eastern Flower Mountain. Those people were obviously involved in the killing of people in the cave. An Zheng planned to capture them and interrogate them, so maybe they would know some information about Xiao Liu’er and the others.
Angele sat down on a big tree and observed the town using the leaves. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * He turned around to look. A few hundred meters away, by the river bank, a man wearing a bamboo hat was fishing. An Zheng sent his Heaven Eyes Divine Vision over, but did not feel the aura of a cultivator.
After waiting for around an hour, those few people finally returned. An Zheng had already noticed that these cultivators were the strongest amongst them all at the peak of the Higher Completion Stage, so dealing with them would not broblem for him.
When the few of them reached under the tree, An Zheng suddenly jumped down from the tree and struck the nape of one of them. The others were startled, and just as they were about to attack, An Zheng had already swept past them like a gust of wind, knocking them all down.
His speed was extremely fast, An Zheng was sure that the man fishing there would not be aware of it.
He dragged them into the woods and tied them all up with ropes.
“I’ll ask you two a few questions. Answer them properly, otherwise, you’ll die.”
The one called Xiao Jiu cursed, “Do you even know who we are? How dare you sneak attack us. “Damn it, let me know where you come from, your father will exterminate your entire family!”
“You don’t seem to understand your situation.”
An Zheng walked in front of Xiao Jiu and took out a dagger from his body. Witu sound, An Zheng stabbed the dagger into Xiao Jiu’s chest and twisted it a few times. The fellow’s face immediately contorted and his eyes were filled with disbelief. Within a few seconds, Xiao Jiu spat out a mouthful of blood, and his head drooped down and stopped moving.
“I don’t like people who don’t know their place.”
An Zheng looked at the other one: “Not long ago, an immortal mountain fell. Did you know?”
A fellow who was so scared that his face turned pale immediately nodded: “Senior, I know senior … The immortal mountain fell on the Nine Saint Sect’s side, but that’s all I know. ”
An Zheng asked the others, but the others only knew that a mountain had fallen, no one knew the details. It seemed that if he wanted to find the Xiao Liu’er and the others, he had to hurry to the Nine Saint Sect.
“You must all be involved in the matter of the village on the mountain that was silenced, right?”
An Zheng asked.
Those people immediately fell silent. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
“How did you kill him?”
“Burn …” Burned. ”
“Mm, you guys will die the same way.”
An Zheng’s eyes turned cold, the appearance of the purple lightning instantly ignited the big tree that tied up these few people, and not long after, it started to burn. Those people started to wail and howl, but the Dantian Qi Sea was unable to escape from them, and before long it started to sizzle, it was burnt to a crisp, and it looked like they would not be able to live.
An Zheng did not dare to tarry, as the Azure Wisdom Sect’s sect master’s strength was above his. In this era, An Zheng had to be even more careful in what he did. He turned around and left. He had just taken two steps when he saw the person wearing a bamboo hat and holding a fish basket looking at him.
An Zheng was immediately on guard, this person was so quiet, and even when he was more than 10 meters away, he did not notice anything. Previously, when he had scanned the area with his Heaven’s Eyes, he hadn’t detected any trace of a cultivator’s aura on this person.
“It’s just killing, why are you being so cruel?”
The man asked lightly.
When he took off the bamboo hat, An Zheng saw that it was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old. He looked refined, the type that made people feel that he was very handsome with a sense of knowledge just by looking at him.
This person couldn’t be considered to be very handsome, but he had a faint temperament that made people unable to forget him.
“Those who kill will pay with their lives, how will they get killed? What’s wrong with that?”
An Zheng asked.
That person acknowledged, “Are you saying that a few days ago, there was a village on the mountain that was killed by the people from the Azure Wisdom Sect?”
“You know?”
An Zheng asked again.
The man did not answer, but asked An Zheng: “What relationship do you have with the villagers?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
The person looked at An Zheng with a curious expression: “You don’t have any relationship with the villagers, but you took a huge risk to come and take revenge for them. Why?”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
An Zheng was about to turn around and leave, but when he turned around, he realized that the fellow was already in front. In the Da Xi era, An Zheng was most proud of his own speed. In terms of speed, no one in the martial arts world was faster than him. But he had only just turned around, and that fellow was already in front of him. It was clear that An Zheng was not his match in terms of speed.
“To say that it has nothing to do with it is also not related to it. Saying that it’s related is also related. ”
The man looked at An Zheng, the curiosity in his eyes growing. “Looks like I’m really lucky to have a fish that escaped the net.”
An Zheng’s face changed greatly. “What do you mean?!”
“A mountain fell from the sky. Everyone assumed that it was an Immortal mountain that had fallen unexpectedly. However, that mountain came from outside the region, and not many people can see through it. There are people on the mountain whose strength is low, but the scariest thing is that these people’s physiques are so good that it makes people jealous. As long as they have one or two of them to cultivate, they will be able to bring glory to their sects. ”
That person’s laugh was exceptionally happy. “However, they all went to snatch one. My luck is outrageous. I actually picked one up.”
An Zheng took a deep breath, “Tell me, where are they?”
“You want to know?”
The man placed the fishing basket and rod on the ground. “Help me carry the things and come with me.”
An Zheng was silent for a long time, his heart wavering. The man turned around and looked at An Zheng: “Do you have a choice?”
An Zheng clenched his teeth, reached out, wanting to pick up the fishing rod and fish basket to follow, but... I can’t lift it!
The fishing rod and fish basket were so heavy that they seemed to number ten thousand tons. Even though An Zheng had used both of his hands, he was still unable to lift them.
“Too weak.”
The person sighed, “I really don’t know where all of you come from. Your physiques are so good that it makes people jealous, and your strength is so weak that it makes people laugh in ridicule … Just mention it here. Whenever you can pick up the fish basket and the fishing rod, come find me on the ferry by the river. I will only wait for you for three days. “If you still can’t pick up the fish basket, I’ll be leaving in three days.”
