Zhang Yao staggered out of Chen Wenyao's room and came to Zhang Qing Yan's door. He pushed the door open and stepped in with his right foot. Just as he was about to lift his left foot, he turned around and saw Chen Wenyao standing not far away.
Zhang Yao waved his hand and said nothing. He turned around and entered the room. The door slowly closed.
"Is this power?"
Chen Wenyao covered his chest with his right hand. At this moment, he couldn't feel his heartbeat, but he was still alive.
Opening his hand, a layer of frost appeared on his pale skin. Wisps of white mist rose from it. This was the cold air.
"How miraculous!"
Chen Wenyao, who had just obtained great power, regained his spirit. He had an urge to go back and find Zhou Fu.
But as soon as this thought appeared, he extinguished it.
This was an illusion!
Definitely an illusion.
After all, the person who gave him this power was completely suppressed by Zhou Fu. If he went up again, he would only be sending himself to death.
"I will go to that place to retrieve the item, but not now." Chen Wenyao looked at the closed door and stood silently for a long time. Then, he turned around and walked into the night.
…
"He's already a prisoner and he's still not obedient. It's the middle of the night, and he made me and my brothers keep an eye on this place. Damn it!" A middle-aged man looked through the window and saw everything that happened in the courtyard not far away.
"Liu Tou, stop complaining. Our lord just left not long ago."
There were three other people sitting in the room. On the table in the middle of them, there was tea, wine, and some dishes that had been eaten.
The middle-aged man called Liu Tou turned around and sighed. Then, he said: "A hothead ran away. Seems like he just obtained some power and foolishly used it. He couldn't even hide it. What a waste."
Walking to the table, he picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank. Then, he grabbed a piece of meat from the table. As he chewed on it, he said, "However, our mission has been completed. The remaining task of tracking that hothead will be left to Old Wang."
Hearing Liu Tou's words, the other three people chuckled.
Liu Tou was stunned for a moment, then he also grinned.
"Brothers, pack up. After Xiao Li tells Old Wang and the others to come back, we'll go have some fun."
These words were highly approved by several people, and the atmosphere also became lively.
"Let's get straight to the point. This young boss of ours is really generous. Damn it, we're actually rewarded with 100 taels of silver for today's task. Tsk tsk."
"That's right. Now, all the brothers in Ning 'an East City are full of energy and hope that something will happen every day. It's not like back then, when they didn't even want to move twice even if their butts were on fire."
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the courtyard, and the bustling noise in the house instantly disappeared.
"Boss, it's me."
A familiar voice came from outside the house, and the expressions on their faces relaxed.
"Xiao Li, hurry up and come in. Pack up, we're leaving."
"Alright!"
… …
Early the next morning, a guard came to the courtyard.
"My Lord, I have something to report!"
Zhou Fu had just finished practicing and was resting in the courtyard.
"Speak."
The guard said, "Sir, Chen Wenyao left the house last night and left the city along the river.
Now, there are several people who are good at movement techniques following him. "
Zhou Fu nodded, "Find a few more people to follow him and take turns. Remember, don't alert him."
"Yes!"
Just as the guard was about to turn and leave, Zhou Fu thought of something and quickly said, "Also, if you see Chen Wenyao in the southeast direction and find a village deep in the forest, and the people there are strange, you must stay away and report back to me!"
"Yes!" The guard turned around, "My Lord, do you have any other orders?"
"At night, don't go near Chen Wenyao!"
"Yes, I'll do it now."
Zhou Fu lay in the chair, stretched out his hand and flipped it.
"After this body strengthening, my strength is a bit too great. Yesterday, when I wanted to break Zhang Yao's limbs, I actually almost blew him up. This is not good. It feels like a small horse pulling a big cart. I can pull it, but I can't control it."
Uncontrollable strength is a double-edged sword. It can hurt others, but it can also hurt oneself. This is not what Zhou Fu wants.
"Do I have to meditate and practice martial arts every day to digest it?"
Just as Zhou Fu was thinking about how to quickly control his strength, the guard ran over.
"My Lord, Elder Kong is here."
Zhou Fu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up, "Who is here?"
"Elder Kong Yiu Tsung." The guard repeated.
At this time, Zhou Fu suddenly turned his head and looked at the courtyard door.
"It's me!"
Kong Yiu Tsung, the right-hand man of Giant Whale Gang, came in with two guards.
"Zhou Fawai, long time no see."
"You can leave." Zhou Fu asked the guard to leave, then got up and led Kong Yiu Tsung into the living room.
After they sat down, Zhou Fu asked, "May I know why Elder Kong is here?"
Kong Yiu Tsung smiled, "Zhou Fawai has been very busy recently, so I won't say much. It's just that the matter this time is more important, so the Gang Leader asked me to come."
Zhou Fu's eyes flashed. Busy?
Could it be that Xing Gang knows something?
"Oh?
May I know why Elder Kong is here in person? "
Kong Yiu Tsung laughed, "Since Zhou Fawai asked, I'll be straightforward. I'm here for one person, Zhang Yao!"
After hearing this name, Zhou Fu's heart thumped, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Why is he looking for Zhang Yao?
For the martial arts of the Body Refining Hall?
Who is looking for him?
Kong Yiu Tsung?
Xing Gang?
Or the Xing Family behind the Giant Whale?
Zhou Fu suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "Zhang Yao?
Could it be someone from the Zhang Family? "
"Yes!"
"I only found out about this person through the matters of the Chen Clan. I won't hide it from Elder Kong. Yesterday, a black-clothed man came to my door. If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, I might have fallen into that person's trap.
After that, I asked people to investigate, and many people said that the person was Zhang Yao. "
Zhou Fu's expression turned serious, "If Elder Kong is looking for this person, I'll order people to speed up the search. Once there's any news, I'll report it to you."
Looking at Kong Yiu Tsung, Zhou Fu sneered in his heart.
Looking for him?
What are you thinking!
Just based on the fact that Xing Gang had forced him to practice the Demonic Whale Killing Fist and suppressed him in all aspects, both openly and covertly, Zhou Fu would rather kill Zhang Yao than let him fall into Xing Gang's hands alive.
Furthermore, his immediate superior was the third son of the Xing Family, not the second son of the Xing Family.
Kong Yiu Tsung looked at Zhou Fu and asked, "Zhou Fawai didn't take down that person?"
"That person's body techniques are extremely strange, and he also cultivates poison techniques. I can't take him down." Zhou Fu shook his head.
In front of Kong Yiu Tsung, he was just an ordinary first level Bone Forging Realm cultivator. How could he take down someone like Zhang Yao?
"Oh?
Is that so? "Kong Yiu Tsung smiled." That's a pity. "
Then, he asked, "How is Zhou Fawai's cultivation of the Tyrannical Whale Fist?" Kong Yiu Tsung's face revealed a concerned expression.
This time, Kong Yiu Tsung came to investigate Zhang Yao's whereabouts and to observe Zhou Fu's cultivation progress.
Zhou Fu hurriedly expressed his gratitude. He cupped his hands and said, "Speaking of this matter, I still have to thank the Gang Leader. If it wasn't for him giving me the Divine Skill and Spirit Pill, I wouldn't have my current cultivation."
After he finished speaking, Zhou Fu stretched out his hand, and traces of blood-red mist appeared on his arm.
Along with the blood-red mist, a murderous aura appeared in the air.
In order to make the scene more realistic, Zhou Fu's eyes became cold and fierce, and traces of red light flowed within them.
This change shocked Kong Yiu Tsung, but he didn't show it. He praised, "The peak of the first level Bone Forging Realm!
Zhou Fawai's talent is indeed outstanding! "
"Hahahaha!
Elder Kong is too polite. I can't accept such praise. "Zhou Fu laughed as he withdrew the blood-red mist.
"Sigh." Zhou Fu suddenly sighed. "Even so, we still let that thief escape."
Looking at Kong Yiu Tsung, he said seriously, "Since this thief is so important to the Sect Leader, this subordinate will definitely do his best."
Seeing that he couldn't get any information from Zhou Fu, Kong Yiu Tsung could only smile and nod. "Then I'll have to trouble Zhou Fawai. I'll take my leave."
"Elder Kong, take care."
Zhou Fu sent Kong Yiu Tsung to the door and watched the carriage disappear. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw a carriage coming towards him from the corner of his eye.
At this moment, Zhou Fu suddenly had a premonition that this carriage was also coming for him.
Sure enough, the carriage stopped at the gate.
On the side of the carriage, the word 'Bai' was written.
A middle-aged man came down from the carriage. He cupped his hands at Zhou Fu and said, "I'm Bai Shuwang. Greetings to Zhou Fawai."
At this moment, a guard at the side whispered, "Sir, this Bai Shuwang is the current Head of the Bai Family."
Head of the Bai Family?
Could it be Bai Lang's father?
"Head of the Bai Family is too polite. Please come in."
"Thank you, Zhou Fawai."
After leading Bai Shuwang into the living room, the group sat down. After the maids served tea and left, Bai Shuwang spoke first.
"Zhou Fawai, I apologize for my sudden visit. I'll send a small gift later. I hope that Zhou Fawai won't mind."
"Haha, Head of the Bai Family is too polite. There's no need for that." Zhou Fu smiled.
Nowadays, Zhou Fu was becoming more and more adept at saying such things.
"May I know why Head of the Bai Family is here?"
The smile on Bai Shuwang's face disappeared and was replaced by a helpless expression. He sighed and said, "I won't hide it from External Affairs Emissary Zhou. Recently, I heard that a person called Zhang Yao had offended External Affairs Emissary Zhou.
Uh … I hope that Zhou Fawai knows that Zhang Yao is also an enemy of the Bai Family. I'm here today to inquire about the whereabouts of that thief. "
"Please rest assured, Zhou Fawai. The Bai Family will not let you work for free." After saying that, Bai Shuwang took out a gold note and placed it on the table next to him.
"Here's a thousand gold pieces. If you have any news about that thief, please inform me."
"How did Zhang Yao offend the Bai Family?"
Bai Shuwang looked like he was struggling. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not a secret.
I have a nephew called Bai Lang. He's the only son of my elder brother. "
"His character and knowledge are excellent. He's even been recognized by the Bai Family as the future head of the Bai Family.
Sigh … Life is unpredictable. My nephew's fiancée was poisoned by Zhang Yao and left the Bai Family to find a way to save her.
She left for many years and hasn't returned since. "
"Because of this, the Bai Family suffered a great loss. My elder brother is unable to recover from this setback.
The Bai Family will never be able to live under the same sky as that thief Zhang Yao! "
Zhou Fu was enlightened. "I see!"
"Sorry to disappoint you today, Patriarch Bai. Yesterday, there was indeed a thief who came to my residence. However, that thief's body was very strong, and he even cultivated a strange poison technique. I fought with him for a while and let him escape."
"I see." Bai Shuwang nodded. He was not disappointed or expectant. His expression was calm. "If Zhou Fawai receives news, please inform me."
He pushed the gold note in his hand. "Take this as the tea fee. Thank you for your hard work."
"I can't accept this."
Zhou Fu shook his head. "Today, you came here for nothing. I don't have any news. How can I let you pay for it?"
"Hahahaha!"
Bai Shuwang laughed. He stood up and did not take back the gold note. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "It's fine. I still have other things to take care of. I won't disturb Zhou Fawai any longer. I'll take my leave."
After sending Bai Shuwang off, Zhou Fu frowned.
"It's so early in the morning and they're all looking for me. It seems like there are loopholes everywhere."
"My Lord!"
Duan Cheng came to Zhou Fu's study room. After bowing, he said, "My Lord, Zhang Yao has been locked up in the dungeon. Zhang Qingyan is also there."
"You brought them all?" Zhou Fu looked at Duan Cheng in surprise.
"Yes!
Now that Chen Wenyao has escaped, we took Zhang Yao away and left Zhang Qingyan alone. I was afraid that she would ruin things, so I took the initiative to bring her back. "
"You're quite considerate."
Leaving Zhang Qingyan alone, Zhou Fu was not afraid that she would leak the secret. When he was fighting with Zhang Yao last night, the surging devil mist had already injured Zhang Qingyan.
Facing Zhou Fu's devil mist, even an ordinary Bone Forging Realm martial artist would not dare to let it invade their body, let alone an ordinary person.
"Get someone to spread the news that Zhang Yao is in Ning An City. Also, make it clear that Zhang Yao has a grudge with me.
At the same time, get someone to find me another person. Bai Lang! "
"Bai Lang?
The Young Master of the Bai Clan? "
At this moment, Duan Cheng was puzzled. Why was he looking for that person?
Zhou Fu nodded. "Yes, the Young Master of the Bai Clan." After speaking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Duan Cheng.
Duan Cheng took it and unfolded it. It was a portrait.
"The person in the portrait is Bai Lang. Take a good look. If he appears in the city, bring him back!"
"Yes!
This subordinate understands. "
Now that Zhang Yao was in his hands, the next step was to find Bai Lang and use Zhang Yao as a bargaining chip to exchange for the Body Refinement Hall's secret manual.
If he could complete the Three Wheels Origin Transformation Divine Art, that would be the best.
Even if he didn't, Bai Lang would definitely have the Adamantine Battle Body.
