Surname Zhou, and from Sanyuan Prefecture?
Li Chuan sensed that something was wrong.
Zhuang Beiwang continued:
"This man surnamed Zhou did not ask me directly. Instead, he secretly found an Outer Courtyard disciple, gave him five taels of silver, and repeatedly warned him not to let it slip."
"But this was no small matter, and the disciple did not dare conceal it. He immediately told me."
Li Chuan frowned.
"What exactly did he ask about?"
Zhuang Beiwang thought for a moment.
"He asked quite a lot. First, he asked when you rose to prominence and what your social connections were like."
"Later, he particularly inquired about your relationship with gangs like the Black Bear Gang, Iron Tiger Gang, Wave-Breaking Gang, and Blood River Gang."
"But he did not only ask about you, Senior Brother Li. Later, he also asked about Senior Brother Tang, Senior Brother Luo, and the other Dark Force disciples."
"According to that disciple, after this man left our Pine Wind Martial Hall, he went to other martial halls as well."
Upon hearing the words "Black Bear Gang," Li Chuan quietly narrowed his eyes.
He still remembered that, before killing Cao Yan, the Black Bear Gang's leader,
he had heard him mention the name "Brother Zhou."
Cao Yan had stated that Brother Zhou was a Dark Force expert who had gone to Sanyuan Prefecture to train in martial arts, specializing in horizontal training techniques.
"What did he look like?"
Recalling the information the disciple had described to him, Zhuang Beiwang relayed it.
"He wore a black short outfit. His features were square and ordinary, but he carried a savage, vicious air."
"The most eye-catching thing was a vertical scar between his brows, extraordinarily ferocious!"
Li Chuan's pupils contracted slightly as he recalled the medicine delivery not long ago.
