Chapter 656: Zhao County Magistrate

The main hall of the Suzhou City County Magistrate's Mansion.

A middle-aged monk in brocade robes sat on a high seat. This middle-aged monk was Zhao Gao, the prefect of Suzhou County. He had now reached the middle stage of the fusion realm.

"Damn it! How dare someone touch my people!"

Zhao Gao slapped the table and chair beside him with one hand, and the table and chair broke into pieces with a snap.

"Mr. County Magistrate, what exactly happened?"

An old man in a Taoist robe asked respectfully. This old man was Taoist Wan Qian, a guest of the County Magistrate's Mansion. He had the cultivation level of the early stage of fusion.

"Qi Hongxuan from Sixiang City was killed!"

Zhao Gao said coldly.

"Someone actually dared to kill Qi Hongxuan? I'll send someone to investigate right now!"

Taoist Wan Qian was about to leave after saying this.

"Fellow Daoist Wan Qian!" Zhao Gao shouted.

"County Magistrate!" Taoist Wan Qian turned his head.

"Don't alert the enemy! If we alert the enemy, it will easily ruin our plan!" said Zhao Gao.

"I understand!" Taoist Wan Qian agreed and went to work.

A few days later, Taoist Wan Qian returned to the hall again.

"Mr. County Magistrate, we have found out everything!"

"Was it Chen Yuanyuan from Wangshu Pavilion who did it?"

Taoist Wan Qian reported to Zhao Gao in the main hall.

Zhao Gao thought for a moment and didn't know the existence of "Wangshu Pavilion", so he asked: "Wangshu Pavilion? Daoist friend, do you know where it came from?"

"He's a bookstore owner in Sixiang City!"

"I heard that the entire Sixiang City has fallen into their hands!"

Taoist Wan Qian said.

"Humph, this 'Wangshu Pavilion' is so brave, if I didn't have a mission, I would have killed them myself!"

Zhao Gao's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he spoke viciously.

"Have you found out about the 'Yuexian Formation'?"

Zhao Gao quickly calmed down and asked.

"I heard from the people who came back that the entire Yue family has been killed, and the victim is a young man named Ye Feng!"

Taoist Wan Qian said.

"Ye Feng? Ye Feng? Who is he?"

"Pass the order down, and make sure to find this person. If you find him, I will reward him handsomely!"

Zhao Gao stroked his beard and then gave the order.

"As ordered!"

"What about the Four Elephant City?"

Taoist Wan Qian asked.

"Just pretend nothing happened and send someone to deliver a gift to Wangshu Pavilion!"

"Just congratulate Pavilion Master Chen on becoming the City Master of Sixiang City, and ask them to help find out about the 'Yuexian Formation'!"

"Everything is centered around finding the 'Yuexian Formation'."

"As ordered!"

Taoist Wan Qian agreed and left.

As soon as Taoist Wan Qian left, a tall figure in a black cloak appeared in the hall.

"Greetings to the envoy!"

Seeing the tall figure, Zhao Gao hurriedly ran down from his chair and saluted.

"Hmm? Have you found the 'Immortal Formation Map' that the Master asked you to look for?"

The tall figure asked coldly.

"This... We already have a clue, and we've sent someone to investigate!"

Zhao Gao said hurriedly.

"You useless thing! It's been such a long time and you haven't found a single battle formation diagram!"

The tall figure immediately scolded loudly upon hearing this.

"Please give me more time, my lord envoy. I will definitely find the formation diagram!"

As Zhao Gao spoke, he handed a storage ring to the tall figure.

When he saw the storage ring, his eyes lit up and he said seriously, "Since you are so capable, I will give you some time.

But you know the master's character. If we can't find the thing, neither you nor I will have a good ending!"

"Yes, yes! I'll go find it myself, I'll go find it myself!"

Zhao Gao was so scared that he nodded repeatedly.

The tall figure disappeared in the hall in a flash.

......

After killing Qi Hongxuan, the entire Sixiang City fell into the hands of Wangshu Pavilion.

Ye Feng also obtained hundreds of thousands of immortal stones, as well as many immortal techniques and artifacts. Wangcai swallowed the three-eyed black panther and entered the early stage of fusion again, greatly increasing his strength.

On this day, Ye Feng and Chen Yuanyuan were discussing going to Xianma Valley to collect immortal herbs.

The maid Ping'er suddenly ran in and reported: "Miss, Senior Ye, someone from Suzhou City has arrived!"

"I guess Zhao Gao already knows about the killing of Qi Hongxuan!"

"Qi Hongxuan is Zhao Gao's confidant, he won't let this go!"

"Let the people come in and see what they say."

Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while and said.

"It's Miss!"

Ping'er agreed and walked into the hall.

Soon, three green-robed monks in the Spirit Transformation Stage walked into the hall.

"Meet the two seniors!"

The three of them bowed at the same time.

"Well! What does County Magistrate Zhao need from you?"

"Are you here to be questioned?"

Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"We are here to congratulate Senior Chen!"

"Zhao County Magistrate has issued an order to honor you as the Lord of Four Statue City!"

The leading man in a green robe finished speaking, and with a wave of his sleeves, many gifts flew out.

"I'm sorry to have let the governor of Zhao spend so much money. Ping'er, please accept it!"

Chen Yuanyuan smiled faintly.

The maid Ping'er stepped forward and collected all the gifts.

"City Lord Chen, County Magistrate Zhao has also instructed that the City Lord should cooperate in finding the whereabouts of the Yue family's 'Xianyue Formation Diagram'!"

The green-robed man spoke again.

"Xianyue Formation Diagram?"

Ye Feng heard this and thought to himself,

"The death of the Yue family is indeed related to Zhao Gao."

"Yes! I will do my best!"

Chen Yuanyuan nodded slightly.

"Then let's say goodbye first!"

The three of them bowed again and left the hall.

"'Xianyue Formation Diagram'?"

Chen Yuanyuan seemed to have thought of something at this time.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what is the 'Xianyue Formation Diagram'?"

Ye Feng asked, pretending not to know.

"Hundreds of years ago, the Great Wu Kingdom attacked our Great Xuan Kingdom!"

"General Yue Xing, with his self-created 'Xianyue Formation Diagram', defeated hundreds of thousands of cultivators from the Great Wu Kingdom with one strike!"

"From now on, the Great Wu Nation will no longer dare to look down on our Great Xuan Nation!"

"But because General Yue's achievements were greater than his master's, he was murdered by a traitor. Since then, the Yue family has fallen into decline, and the 'Xianyue Formation Map' has also disappeared."

Chen Yuanyuan explained.

"So that's it!"

Ye Feng did not expect that this 'Xianyue Formation' was so powerful that it could actually kill hundreds of thousands of cultivators. Although they were all low-level cultivators, its power was already very strong.

"I heard that the entire Yue family in Sixiang City was wiped out. Could it be related to this incident?"

Ye Feng asked pretending to know nothing.

"Yes! Someone saw it. It was the City Lord's Mansion and the Qin family who did it!"

"Qi Hongxuan's master is Zhao Gao!"

"It must be related to this incident!"

Chen Yuanyuan nodded.

"Humph! Zhao Gao is quite cruel. We should be more careful!"

Ye Feng said lightly.

"Friend Han is right! There are tens of thousands of people with the surname Yue in the Great Xuan Kingdom, and Zhao Gao would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. He is truly cruel."

"We killed his favorite general, he will never let us go!"

"The most urgent thing is to improve our cultivation as quickly as possible, so that when he attacks, we will have a way to deal with him!"

Chen Yuanyuan said again.
