Chapter 128 Crisis is coming
"What do you mean by that?"
When Kong Zhen was taken to a remote alley by the three big men, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he asked them in a light tone.
"Aren't you going to inquire about the Advent Body, how can such a thing be told to you in public?"
The black-faced man who was the leader of the three smiled, looking at Kong Zhen with a hint of banter in his eyes. The other two also looked relaxed, as if they regarded Kong Zhen as a fat sheep and planned to slaughter him well.
"I see, I see! Looking at your current appearance, you must have heard some useful information, tell me all of it! Don't worry, I will never break my promise to your reward!"
Kong Zhen glanced at the faces of the three of them, and probably guessed what they were thinking. It's just that he didn't pay attention to it at all, and still asked the big man led by him with a flat expression, as if he didn't notice anything.
The black-faced man led by the leader saw that Kong Zhen was defenseless, and his heart was even more happy. He didn't call the other two to do it immediately, and decided to complete Kong Zhen's commission first, and tell Kong Zhen the news they had heard.
"I don't know where you heard about it, but there have been rumors of Advent in the Lockdown. According to the investigation of our three brothers, Wu Tian, the former Great Elder of the Divine Martial Palace, had suspected that Ye Ye, the young master of the Ye family, was an advent body, and asked his disciples to arrest him in the Law Enforcement Hall with the intention of interrogating him, but this matter was quickly confirmed to be framed by someone. ”
The black-faced man and his two brothers are natives of Fengzhen, and they have been wandering among the major forces to inquire about news, which can be regarded as a know-it-all for Fengzhen. Many outsiders come to Fengzhen to inquire about the news, and they usually find three people to investigate, and the three black-faced men have also made a lot of money.
It's just that they are obviously not satisfied with just selling news for a living, and often kill people and sell goods when the client is not paying attention. Due to the fact that the actions of several people are very secretive, few people have known their true colors. This time, they hit Kong Zhen with their ideas, intending to make a lot of money from him.
Because Kong Zhen restrained all the aura on his body, he looked like an ordinary person, so the three black-faced men who only had the strength of a martial artist felt that there was an opportunity. When he was brought to this alley by the three of them, he had already guessed their purpose, but Kong Zhen didn't see them as a threat at all, so he still quietly listened to the news revealed by Dahan.
"Do you know who is the person who framed the eldest young master of the Ye family, and where is he now?"
Ever since Kong Zhen lost Yan Lieyang, he had been thinking about the reason why Yan Lieyang stayed in the southwest, and had set his sights on anyone who might become the master of the Tower of Babel.
As the successor of the Tower of Babel, Yan Lieyang's ultimate goal is to find the next tower master of the Tower of Babel, so it is very likely that he will stay in the southwest to find the heir of the tower owner. According to Kong Zhen's understanding, almost all of the previous tower masters of the Tower of Babel were descendants, so he quickly narrowed down the scope to those who might be descendants.
Since the establishment of the Canglang Dynasty, although only one Jiang Wuyan has been confirmed as an advent body, there will be some news of the birth of a suspected advent body from time to time. Most of these news are framed rumors or have other purposes, and the Heavenly Dao Academy generally disdains to meddle, but at this time, it involves the inheritance of the Tower of Babel, so Kong Zhen can't pay attention to it. So he quickly traveled to the southwest, and after ruling out several obviously impossible options, he finally came to the sealed town where there were rumors of an advent body.
When he heard the name Ye Ye, Kong Zhen didn't have any impression in his mind. However, out of prudence, he decided to investigate to the end to see what Ye Ye was framed for.
"It's unfortunate that the person you are talking about no longer exists! Although she used to be a dazzling star in the town, she had to die to be Ye Ye's enemy, so she was killed by Ye Ye in Lingcheng a long time ago!"
When the black-faced man answered Kong Zhen, Lin Yushi's figure couldn't help but appear in his mind, and he felt a faint regret in his heart. However, even if Lin Yushi was still alive, it was not something that people like them could access, so the black-faced man quickly regained his composure, and looked at Kong Zhen in front of him playfully.
When Kong Zhen heard the word "Lingcheng", a burst of light suddenly erupted in his eyes, and he faintly felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth: "Lingcheng! Has that person been killed by Ye Ye? Hehe, interesting! The last question, what is the status of Ye Ye, the eldest young master of the Ye family, in Lingcheng?"
Hearing his question, the black-faced man gave Kong Zhen a roll of his eyes at the same time, but he didn't expect him to be so ignorant. In the end, the black-faced big man replied to Kong Zhen with a cruel smile: "For the sake of your generous shots, I will patiently explain to you that Ye Ye, the eldest young master of the Ye family, is now the master of Lingcheng! From awakening the martial soul to dominating Lingcheng, he spent less than a year in total, and he is a peerless genius destined to make a name for himself throughout the dynasty." Soon Ye Ye will get married, and I believe that the strong people of the entire southwest will gather together, and now you understand who you want to investigate, right?"
"Pretty clear!"
Kong Zhen nodded slowly, an inexplicable look flashed on his face, and the three black-faced men couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
However, they thought that they had just had a delusion, and quickly shook their heads to sober themselves up. After the black-faced man told Kong Zhen all the information he had investigated, he secretly glanced at the other two. The three of them gradually surrounded Kong Zhen in the center, and their eyes showed malicious looks.
"It's your pay, and now we're both clear!"
As if he hadn't noticed anything, Kong Zhen handed a few golden tickets to the black-faced man, and then turned around and left here.
The other two big men who blocked Kong Zhen's way in advance were still standing firmly in front of him, with no intention of giving way. The black-faced man sneered from behind his back, and after putting away the golden ticket in his hand, he was still not satisfied, and said lightly to Kong Zhen: "This time and that time! You should know how much influence the Ye family has in the town now, we are taking such a big risk to help you investigate Ye Ye, and the previously agreed remuneration is no longer enough!"
Kong Zhen turned around slowly, stared at the black-faced man in a calm tone and asked, "Then how much do you want?"
"Ten thousand!"
The black-faced man directly stretched out a finger and multiplied the price they had negotiated several times, as if he was not afraid that Kong Zhen would not give it at all.
The other two big men stepped forward again and tightly surrounded Kong Zhen in the center, and the meaning of threat and intimidation could not be more obvious. In order to further put pressure on Kong Zhen, the black-faced man threatened him with a cruel smile on his face: "You must know that Ye Ye is a guardian saint-like existence to the Ye family, and anyone who is hostile to Ye Ye is the target of the Ye family's efforts to eradicate." If we take your head to the Ye family to receive the reward, I believe that the golden ticket we get will not be much lower than this price!"
Looking at the undisguised contempt in the eyes of the three of them, Kong Zhen suddenly smiled. It's just that there is a chill in this smile, and it looks terrifying.
Originally, he was in a bad mood because he lost Yan Lieyang, and the three black-faced men dared to take the initiative to provoke him, they could only say that they were destined to disappear because of this. Especially when Kong Zhen had already given them a chance, the three black-faced men were so greedy that they didn't stop the precipice, and they couldn't blame others if they died.
"Originally, for the sake of the information you provided me, if you stopped in time, I could have acted as if nothing had happened. Alas, it's a pity!"
After his sigh, before the three black-faced men could understand what was happening, their bodies suddenly began to spontaneously combust.
"Ahh
"No!"
"Help!"
Before the three of them could let out a scream, they were burned to ashes by the flames and scattered by the wind in the corners of the deep alley.
But Kong Zhen, the initiator, acted as if he hadn't seen anything, his face was calm from beginning to end, and a look of contemplation even flashed in his eyes.
"Lingcheng? Ye Ye Wedding, I hope that all the problems can be solved at once this time!"
As soon as the words fell, Kong Zhen's figure disappeared, as if he had never appeared. Except for the three black-faced men who had died, no one in the entire closed town knew that Kong Zhen had ever been here. However, for Ye Ye, who longed for a stable life, fate took a huge turn at this moment, making him inevitably the enemy that the Heavenly Dao Academy wanted to eradicate in the end.
After Kong Zhen left, the town was as peaceful as ever, and it seemed that it had been far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. But in Rock City, which is very far away from the closed town, the atmosphere of saber rattling is gradually intensifying.
Bang!
In the Qingya Palace of Yancheng, a valuable antique was slammed to the ground by the palace master Lin Xiuyan, and it was immediately shattered and scattered all over the ground.
Lin Xiuyan himself was pale, as if he had been greatly insulted, and his mood could not be calm for a long time.
"Bastard! The shopkeeper of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, who is not even the second or even the third person of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, dares to despise the majesty of my Qingya Palace so much!"
Lin Xiuyan roared and smashed all the antiques in the room, as if this was the only way to vent the grievances in his heart.
And Xiao Yunlong, the deputy palace master who had just gotten the same news, was by the side in fear, neither daring to open his mouth to admonish nor leaving. However, in addition to fear, there was also a trace of anger on his face, and the hostility towards the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce in his heart was extremely strong.
After the envoy they had sent to Lingcheng returned to Iwacheng, he immediately reported the reaction of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce to the two of them. Lin Xiuyan originally thought that even if Ye Ye did not agree to give up Jincheng to Qingya Palace, he would politely make amends to himself, and even ask him for advice on how to deal with Mu Long. But he never expected that the envoy of Qingya Palace hadn't even seen Ye Ye at all, and was sent back by Xue Yu, the treasurer of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
