Wind and Rain Pavilion
At this moment, Li Changfeng transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in black and masked, searching for information inside the Wind and Rain Pavilion. He saw an old man in white sitting opposite him. The old man looked at the list that Li Changfeng given him and gave him a deep look.
"Are you sure you want to find these people? They are no benevolent people! I'm afraid you will not only fail to get your reward, but you will also lose your life in no time!" the old man in white advised.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng calmly replied, "Just say it, it's alright!"
The old man in white nodded upon hearing this. "Alright! The information you requested for these three people will cost 10,000 taels each, totaling 30,000 taels. You need to pay first!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this and tossed the white-robed elder thirty thousand taels of silver notes, saying, "Speak!"
The old man in white took the money, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Blood Demon Qiu Renyu! This man currently runs a human trafficking organization in Cloud City. He uses the money to practice his skills, and sells the surplus women to wealthy merchants as slaves or maids. Those with good looks are sold to brothels! He has many skilled men under his command. Killing him is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
"Butcher Chou Wansen! This man is suspected of joining an extreme assassin organization, the Hall of the Killing God! His whereabouts are unpredictable. If you want to find him, you can identify him by the weapon he carries; it's a long, narrow, blood-red sword."
"Perhaps we can find him among those with high bounties, or we could join the Hall of the Killing God to find out where he is!"
"Killer Bee! This person currently runs a brothel in Northern Di City, specifically targeting young men with strong cultivation levels. She is suspected of practicing a technique that uses yang energy to replenish yin. However, she is extremely cautious; if anything goes wrong, she will immediately flee. Her movements are incredibly fast, making her difficult to catch!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng frowned, thinking to himself, "They're all tough people to deal with! Looks like I'll have to put in some effort!"
Seeing Li Changfeng's furrowed brows, the old man in white chuckled, "Hehe! I've already given this guest the information, and there's no going back now! I advise you to consider it a lesson learned!"
Li Changfeng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Who said I went back on my word! Your Wind and Rain Pavilion intelligence is quite good! Just wait for the good news that I've killed them!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng laughed loudly and walked straight out of the Wind and Rain Pavilion. The old man in white was slightly surprised to see this. He didn't expect this person to actually dare to go. He didn't know if it was true or not. After hesitating for a moment, he called out to Li Changfeng, "This guest! Please wait a moment!"
Li Changfeng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He slowly turned around and asked in confusion, "Is there... anything else?"
The old man in white hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Esteemed guest! May I leave my name, and I will refund you ten thousand taels of silver?"
Li Changfeng was slightly surprised upon hearing this, "Why did you leave my name?"
The old man in white smiled slightly upon hearing this, "That's right! Didn't this guest want to kill these people? If he really did kill them, then our Wind and Rain Pavilion would have its first suspect, after all, our Wind and Rain Pavilion is also an intelligence organization!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself, "It seems he wants to gather information about me. Should I give it to him or not?"
Then, Li Changfeng slowly revealed his name, "My Fung Yu-sau!"
Upon hearing this, the old man in white gave Li Changfeng a deep look and returned the ten thousand taels of silver to him, saying, "Thank you for your help, sir! Please do as you wish!"
After taking the money, Li Changfeng vanished in a blur, transforming into a young man as he ran.
Although Li Changfeng knew that giving out his information would be detrimental to him, it didn't matter. After all, it was just an alias, and no one could find out his real identity. Now that he was all alone, he had to spend money on everything, so he would save money wherever he could.
At this moment, the white-robed elder narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Li Changfeng's departing figure, and said in a deep voice, "Someone come here!"
Suddenly, a figure in white appeared before them, respectfully asking, "Elder Zheng! What are your orders?"
"Go and inform the Wu family, the Zhou family, and the people of the Heavenly Spring Sword Manor that the murderer has been found! He is currently on the outskirts of the imperial city, and should be heading towards Cloud City! Also, give them a portrait of this person!"
"I accept the order!" The white-clad figure took the portrait and then vanished in a blur.
Inside the Zhou family residence in the imperial city.
At this moment, all the heads of the various families had gathered in the Zhou family hall. After listening carefully to the white-robed man's report, the Zhou family head sneered, "Good! This kid has finally shown up! Very well!"
The Zhou family patriarch shouted, "Guards!"
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen blood-clad figures appeared in the hall. Their faces were expressionless, like still water, and they exuded a bloody smell. Each of them was as ferocious as a death squad member who only knew how to kill. They slowly knelt on the ground.
"Your subordinate is here!!"
The Zhou family patriarch slowly took out a portrait and threw it to the leader of the assassins, saying, "Go outside the city and see if you find this person. If you do, capture him alive. If you can't capture him alive, kill him without hesitation!"
"We obey!" The assassins said, and were about to go and complete their mission when they were stopped by the Zhou family patriarch.
"Wait a minute! Just in case he can disguise himself, arrest everyone who sees the man in black!"
"Understood!"
The figures of the assassins blurred and turned into afterimages as they left the area, waiting outside the city to ambush their prey.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Wu family whispered a few words to one of his subordinates. The subordinate nodded and then vanished in a blur.
"Brother Zhou! Let us do our part too! These damned bastards actually did such a thing, we will not let them get away with it!!" The Wu family head said, cupping his hands.
"Since that's the case! The people of the Heavenly Spring Sword Manor will not let him go!"
The Lord of Tianquan Manor slowly said to his young disciples behind him, "You all go and help too!"
The disciples behind him nodded solemnly, and then each used their movement techniques to walk out of the city.
At this moment, there were two other people in the hall, Yu Yutang and Sha Tongtian, who had just returned from Medicine King Valley. The two of them cupped their hands to the heads of the families and said, "Seniors! We are also on our way to hunt down that damned Fung Yu-sau. We will take our leave now!"
Everyone nodded upon hearing this. "Go ahead! Be careful! This kid's strength shouldn't be underestimated!"
Upon hearing this, the two nodded and then transformed into two long shadows, leaving the place.
The Zhou family head's gaze suddenly fell on the Wu family head. "Brother Wu! You wouldn't be sending just one person, would you?"
Upon hearing this, the head of the Wu family chuckled and said, "Don't worry! Wu Shan has already advanced to the Grandmaster level. In addition to him, I'm not only calling him along, but also having him bring a group of guards to kill that brat!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhou family patriarch bowed slightly and said, "So that's how it is! It seems Brother Wu's methods are indeed ruthless! He actually sent a Grandmaster to take action!"
Upon hearing this, the Wu family patriarch waved his hand dismissively. "I know about the Zhou family's assassins. Each one is trained from childhood, and the combined attack of twelve of them is something even grandmasters fear! Your methods are truly ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Tianquan Manor cupped his hands in greeting, "So you all came up with such a generous gesture. It's a pity I couldn't bring my elite troops. I can only send my younger disciples to deal with that brat. Please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhou family patriarch waved his hand and said, "Master Tianquan! It is truly commendable that you would send your younger disciples to risk their lives to fight such a dangerous person. You don't need to feel apologetic, Brother Tianquan!"
The man in white suddenly smiled slightly, "Everyone! It seems you've forgotten what that is, haven't you?"
"Oh! I'm so sorry! We almost forgot to pay you for the Wind and Rain Pavilion! We'll pay you right away!"
The three men each took out their reward and handed it to the man in white. After receiving it, the man in white cupped his hands in greeting and then vanished in a blur.
