After learning the details, Huangfu Wuxia began investigating Feng Jun.
The Tiantong Merchant Alliance had enormous hidden influence in the Cultivation World and well-informed eyes and ears. They quickly uncovered information about Feng Jun.
Chairwoman Huangfu was not foolish enough to verify the news at Carefree Platform or with the Pan Clan, but she could seek confirmation from the Red Dust Inspectorate.
By regulation, the travels of inspectors and the incidents they encountered were faithfully recorded—these were very serious archives.
Thus, Huangfu Wuxia learned that an inspector surnamed Guo had once met Feng Jun face-to-face.
Inspector Guo was an affiliate of a subordinate family under Pine-Cypress Peak. Although the Tiantong Merchant Alliance had few pieces on Pine-Cypress Peak itself, it still had quite a few informants in the surrounding areas.
Then she was surprised to discover that Inspector Guo... had disappeared not long after meeting Feng Jun.
That was quite unusual. Huangfu Wuxia instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Ironically, even the Guo Clan themselves had never imagined that his disappearance was connected to Feng Jun. Many even believed that he had gone off to do something—after all, it was perfectly normal for cultivators to enter seclusion or take on missions from time to time.
Instead, it was Chairwoman Huangfu who discovered the truth.
However, she said nothing and merely investigated in secret, looking into whom Inspector Guo had contacted after returning.
Then she discovered another suspicious matter. Yu Meiren, who had been on fairly good terms with Inspector Guo, had also disappeared soon afterward.
Logically speaking, Yu Meiren was at the Emergence from Dust Stage while Inspector Guo was only at the Qi Refining Stage, so the two could not have been close friends. In truth, however, the Yu Clan and the Guo Clan had been friends for generations,
