Sang Yunqi glanced at the furnishings in the hall with disdain, took out a chair from his storage space, and sat in front of Zhen Youqian.

"Do you know about the recent murder in Cangshan Town?"

Zhen Youqian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I know, I know, is this what the ancestor came for?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Youqian gave Sang Yunqi a great gift.

"The ancestor cares about the common people and has compassion for the world. This is a blessing for the heavens and for all the people."

"..."

Sang Yunqi looked at this guy speechlessly. He seemed to understand why the person in charge had not been changed even though the store was in such a dilapidated state.

But he is not Xu Zhuo, and a sharp dagger appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"I ask, you answer, no more nonsense, got it?"

Zhen Youqian looked at the silver light dancing on Sang Yunqi's fingertips and swallowed subconsciously.

"understand."

"Does Cang Qiong have any disciples to deal with this matter?"

Zhen Youqian subconsciously wanted to flatter him again, but when he saw the sharp edge of the dagger, he swallowed the words.

"Here they are. The headmaster's first disciple, Chen Xiu, is leading a team here personally."

“Where are these people today?”

"I don't know about this either. After Chen Xiu led the team to Cangshan Town, he asked me for some details, and then took them away. I haven't seen any trace of them since then."

When Sang Yunqi heard this, his brows furrowed deeply.

Chen Xiu has now reached the great perfection of the Golden Core, especially since Chu Xinglan had fed him a lot before, so his spiritual power is strong and his foundation is solid.

If it weren't for the first exchange conference of the cultivation world that was about to be held, he would have already gone into seclusion, seeking a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

The reason why he is not in a hurry to break through now is because Cangkong needs him to lead the team and he is the most suitable candidate.

Moreover, Xu Zhuo also mentioned to him that after the exchange conference, Chen Xiu would take over the position of the head after his breakthrough, and he agreed.

He didn't think that Chen Xiu would die here, but since there had been no trace of him for such a long time, it was obvious that he had run into trouble.

"When did they come?"

"Three days ago."

"Arrived one day earlier than those Lingxiao Pavilion disciples?"

Zhen Youqian's expression also turned serious at this time and he explained.

"The victims of the first two murders lived alone and were not found. The third case was the first to be discovered."

"I went to the scene and saw that it was obviously not an ordinary murder case. After I came back, I reported it directly to the sect."

"On the second day, the sect's people came, and then came the group of little brats from Lingxiao Pavilion who haven't even grown all their hair yet."

At the end, contempt was evident on Zhen Youqian's face.

Sang Yunqi was almost laughing at him, "You are only in the foundation building stage now, and you are still laughing at others?"

Zhen Youqian immediately straightened his chest and raised his head, saying with a proud look on his face.

"I don't have much talent, so I haven't made much progress in my cultivation. But as long as I'm in Cangshan Town, nothing will escape my eyes."

Sang Yunqi really laughed out loud this time, nodded, looked at him and asked.

"So, what is that thing that's causing the trouble?"

"..."

"Where is that thing?"

"..."

"How did that thing commit the crime?"

"..."

After three consecutive questions, Zhen Youqian broke out in a cold sweat. With a plop, Zhen Youqian knelt down again.

"Ancestor, that thing is so powerful, and Brother Chen Xiu has a high level of cultivation. How can a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like me know about it?"

"If I really knew, I'm afraid that the ancestor wouldn't be able to see me now."

Sang Yunqi snorted coldly, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Return to Cangqiong Mountain immediately to accept your punishment. Someone will come to take your place."

After saying this, the person disappeared.

Zhen Youqian sat down on the ground, not caring whether he was dirty or not, and was so sad that he was about to cry.

Naturally, he had heard of Sang Yunqi's reputation, and even dreamed of seeing this awe-inspiring ancestor in person one day.

This is the dream of everyone in the sky. If I could still talk to the ancestor, I would die without regrets.

But now that he has really seen it, he feels that it would be better not to have seen it. It turns out that all the legends are fake!

My ancestor’s character is really too bad!

Let alone anything else, just talking about those three questions, he clearly understood that the other party had no intention of getting any answers from him, they just simply disliked him and wanted to make things difficult for Zhen Youqian.

But the ancestor's order had been given, so he had no choice but to pack up his bags, lock the shop door, and rush towards Cangqiong Mountain.

On the other side, Chu Xinglan found the place Qu Lai and the others mentioned in just a quarter of an hour.

It’s not that this place is very conspicuous, but Chu Xinglan’s nose is very useful. Especially since Qu Lai and the others were all injured, he found it easily by following the smell of Qu Lai and the others.

At this moment, traces of a fight could be clearly seen in the open space in front of him.

There were not only broken grass blades and broken stones, but also bloodstains.

It can be seen that a fierce battle took place in this place, which proves that Qu Lai and his men were not lying.

Chu Xinglan turned his eyes and looked around carefully, trying to reconstruct the battle scene through traces.

But soon, he discovered something was wrong. This place only had traces left by Qu Lai and his men.

No matter how he deduced, he could not find any evidence of the other party's existence. It was like a complete puzzle, but if one piece was missing, the truth would be lost.

Chu Xinglan thought about it and walked towards the woods in front of him on the left.

It seems that they were attacked on a flat ground, but in the presence of a forest, this was obviously a very unwise decision.

Unless the opponent is really much stronger than them, they can guarantee to keep Qu Lai and the others here for a short period of time.

But it was obvious that the other party couldn't do it, so Qu Lai and the others ran back.

As for the possibility of killing only one person a day and giving them a chance to survive, Chu Xinglan had also considered it.

That's perverted, enjoying killing people and the fun of cat and mouse.

But if this is the case, the other party will be more at ease and even pursue perfection, such as kidnapping or killing people in front of them, instead of hiding like this.

So, the conclusion that can be drawn is that the other party has no way to take Qu Lai and his group away directly.

Chu Xinglan was walking and thinking, when suddenly something flashed in the corner of his eyes and made him stop.

In just a moment, all the muscles in Chu Xinglan's body tensed up. He slowly turned around and looked towards the abnormality.

On the branch to his right, he saw a piece of human skin hanging, which was fluttering in the breeze.

Chu Xinglan felt as if all the hair on his body stood up, and his ears stood up, listening vigilantly to the movements in the forest.

Moving his eyes downward, under the tree, there was a piece of clothing that looked very familiar. Chu Xinglan looked at it carefully and found that it was the same one that Qu Lai and the others were wearing.

In an instant, Chu Xinglan knew the other party's identity, Qu Laina's junior brother who was used as bait.
