That afternoon, Jiang Chen returned home and handed the Kui Dou Seven-Star Secret Art to Sister Hong.
He said little. He did not know much about how Unusual Persons cultivated, either, so the rest would depend on Sister Hong herself.
Afterward, he searched the Underworld App for information about Qishan Village and discovered that it lay near a tributary of the Long River.
Jiangbei City itself had been named for its location north of the Long River.
"The Long River is far too mysterious. Throughout history, there have been so many strange tales-the mysterious corpse retrievers, the legendary dragon raising its head, the river running dry. Beneath those surging waves lie far too many bizarre, hidden secrets."
Even Jiang Chen grew solemn.
There was an old saying in the Nine Provinces: every third month, the gods of rivers and lakes paid tribute to the Long River.
That alone showed the river's standing.
Moreover, the information on the Underworld App vaguely mentioned that something major had happened on the Long River in the past. Even now, experts were specifically stationed along its reaches, seemingly guarding against something.
"Qishui, Qishan Village... could the strange happenings there have something to do with whatever's in the Long River?"
This time, Jiang Chen took it seriously, carefully reviewing the information about the incident.
Unfortunately, perhaps because the place was so remote that few Unusual Persons dared venture there, most of the Netherworld's information came from rumors among the nearby locals.
After nightfall.
He got up and headed out to investigate the red envelope incident.
There had been more than one such strange incident, but all of them clustered around a particular intersection. Once he arrived, he could wander through the surrounding residential complexes to find whoever had picked up a red envelope tonight.
