Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

When Xiangfei saw the other people's reactions, she first chuckled, blinked her alluring eyes, and then spoke in her magnetic voice.

"Patriarch Wang, you know this."

"I have always been honest, kind, and gentle; I would never do such a thing as murder."

Upon hearing Xiang Fei's words, Wang Wenbo, the head of the Wang family, felt a jolt in his eyelids and thought to himself:

"You beautiful snake, using your seductive arts to drain the yin and replenish the yang, countless cultivators have been turned into dried-up corpses by you, and you still dare to call yourself gentle and kind? This patriarch doesn't believe a damn thing!"

Although he thought this in his heart, Wang Wenbo did not say it aloud. Instead, he turned to Xiang Fei and the other two family heads and said together:

"Since all three family heads claim to be innocent, I, Wang, will not make things difficult for them."

However, I hope that you three families will cooperate with my Wang family honestly and thoroughly investigate this matter.

Anyone who dares to interfere with my Wang family's investigation.

Then I have to question his motives!

At this point, Wang Wenbo's tone had become very serious.

City Lord Li Mingtian, standing to the side, nodded slightly in agreement, and then said:

"For the sake of peace in Lianshan City, the City Lord's Mansion will also send a group of people to act alongside the Wang family. We hope that the other three major families will cooperate fully!"

Upon hearing Li Mingtian's words, a look of displeasure flashed across the faces of Jiang Yiming and Tian Boguang, the two family heads.

This Lord Li is clearly supporting the Wang family.

At this moment, a glint flashed in the eyes of Consort Xiang, who was standing to the side, and then she spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Master Wang, whatever you say you will do, I will do."

I'll be waiting for you in the room!

Upon hearing Xiang Fei's words, Wang Wenbo couldn't help but shiver. He then ignored her and directly bowed to Li Mingtian, saying:

"Thank you very much, Lord Li, for helping to investigate this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingtian simply waved his hand and then said:

"No need for formalities. I will send someone to your Wang family later to assist you with your operation."

Now, everyone, disperse!

After saying that, Li Mingtian walked towards the back hall.

Seeing this, Wang Wenbo cupped his hands in greeting to the others and said:

"We hope the three family heads will cooperate fully in the following matters!"

After speaking, Wang Wenbo left the hall.

The remaining three family heads exchanged glances, talked about something, and then left the hall one after another.

Instantly, the council hall, which had just been filled with dignitaries, fell into an empty silence.

However, the place has become quiet.

However, the entire city of Lianshan soon became lively.

First, the Wang family and the people from the City Lord's Mansion conducted a city-wide search, focusing on experts above the Martial Sect Realm. Everyone had to reveal their identity and register with the City Lord's Mansion.

Then, the city lord's mansion and the Wang family jointly investigated the recent whereabouts of these people to see if there was anything suspicious.

Such a large commotion naturally led to an investigation into Chu Yunfan.

However, on the surface, he is only at the early stage of the Martial Master realm.

With such cultivation, he simply couldn't have done what he did before.

Therefore, the search of him was merely a formality.

However, Chu Yunfan did not seem happy at the moment; instead, he frowned slightly.

"Unexpectedly, the Wang family only lost two Martial Grandmasters, which is nothing to them, but they still launched a city-wide search, causing chaos in Lianshan City."

The key point is that the other three major families did not show any intention of resisting.

Moreover, even the city lord's mansion sent people to cooperate.

It seems that the City Lord's Mansion and the Wang family have colluded and are in cahoots.

In that case, dealing with the Wang family will be even more troublesome!

After speaking, Chu Yunfan returned to his room, familiarizing himself with alchemy techniques while pondering how to deal with the Wang family.

It is worth mentioning that in the previous few days, thanks to Chu Yunfan's efforts, he had cultivated the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to perfection, which allows him to hide his cultivation and aura without being exposed even under the noses of a peak Martial Venerable Realm expert.

This gave him even more confidence in dealing with the Wang family next.

Meanwhile, the Wang family's side was searched for several days in a row.

It was discovered that none of the Martial Grandmaster or Martial Venerable level experts in the city had appeared near the location where the Wang family's incident occurred in the past few days, and they could all find witnesses to confirm this.

It can be said that all of these people have been cleared of suspicion.

This result enraged Wang Wenbo, the head of the Wang family.

Even if poison was found at the place where the incident occurred.

However, these poisons have all been identified and are not capable of posing a life-threatening threat to a Martial Grandmaster in a short period of time.

Moreover, even ordinary Tier 3 antidote pills can be quite effective against these poisons.

The goal was to wipe out a third-tier herb-gathering team, which included a late-stage Martial Grandmaster and a peak Martial Grandmaster.

How could this be done with just these poisons? There must have been a powerful expert above the Martial Grandmaster level involved.

And now you're telling me that none of those Martial Grandmasters and Martial Venerables outside are suspects? Do you think I'm stupid?!

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Wenbo slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Teacup shards and tea were splashed everywhere.

However, no one in the hall dared to move.

No one dared to utter a sound at that moment.

After a moment, Wang Wenbo's anger subsided slightly, but his eyes were still full of hostility.

"Since these Martial Grandmaster and Martial Venerable realm cultivators outside are not suspects."

Therefore, it must have been someone from the other three major families who did it.

Wang Panfeng, take your men to the three major families and investigate each and every one of those above the Martial Sect realm.

I refuse to believe we can't find a result!

Wang Wenbo's voice was full of decisiveness.

Wang Panfeng, whom he had just mentioned and who was the captain of the Wang family's guards, did not answer immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Patriarch, in doing this, won't we offend all three other major families?"

Moreover, each family has a Martial Venerable Realm expert who has gone into seclusion to cultivate.

If they use that as an excuse, we can't exactly resort to force, can we?

Although Wang Panfeng was a mid-stage Martial Venerable Realm expert, he spoke cautiously at this moment, constantly observing the changes in Wang Wenbo's expression.

Fortunately, although Wang Wenbo was furious, he did not lose his temper. After hearing the question, he did not get angry, but just snorted coldly.

“Each of their families has a hidden Martial Venerable Realm peak expert, so we can’t just fight them head-on.”

Even if they don't cooperate, there's nothing we can do.

However, I asked you to search the three major families, not necessarily to find out anything.

Instead, it's about telling everyone in Lianshan City that the City Lord's Mansion is on the side of my Wang family, and that my Wang family is the most powerful family in Lianshan City.

Even the three major families have to obediently let my Wang family search them, understand?
