Chapter 809 – Something has happened
After An Zheng sent Mu Jianli away, he had been a little worried the entire time. Mu Jianli’s appearance might be a warning to him, but to Da Xi, it might mean something even bigger and deeper. The Four Great Marshal of the Sacred Emperor, Xue Zang, had suddenly recalled Mu Jianli after eighteen years. If it was just to warn An Zheng, then it would be making a big fuss out of nothing.
The grudge he had with the Zhou Family these past few days made An Zheng become more cautious. He strictly ordered his disciple not to leave the Hollow Jade Temple casually and had also repeatedly told Chen Shaobai, Gu Qianye and the others not to go out alone.
That night, after everyone had fallen asleep, An Zheng sat cross legged in his room and started to feel the changes in his Sky Origin Stage. He used the power of True Lightning and the Blood Pearl Bracelet’s medicinal field to recover his body. After his battle with Zhou Xiangyang, An Zheng had been severely injured, but An Zheng’s recovery rate had always been abnormally fast.
An Zheng sat quietly, and in the blink of an eye, four hours had passed. When he opened his eyes, it was the time when the moonlight was the brightest. Pushing open the window and looking at the bright moon in the sky, he calculated in his heart that after the matter of the Zhou Family came to an end, he would bring the six hundred elites he had trained to the northwest to find the demonic beast called the Eagle Horse.
Even though there were many vicious battles going on during this period, An Zheng had gained a lot. After exterminating the Left, he obtained a large number of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone and a Heaven’s Killing Sword. The quality of the Heaven Slaughter Sword was so good that An Zheng was unwilling to fuse it with the Broken Army Sword. And after keeping the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact’s Heaven Slaughter, the Blood Pearl had levelled up once again. This time, the ability of the newly created pearl was truly a pleasant surprise to An Zheng.

As he was thinking about this, he keenly heard rapid knocks on the door. It was already the second half of the night, who would knock at this time?
The disciples on duty had already rushed over, and An Zheng’s body flashed as he arrived at the main entrance. When the disciples arrived, they discovered that the sect master was clearly surprised, but An Zheng was worried about the danger, so he waved his hand and signaled them to retreat.
“Who?”
An Zheng asked.
“I’m from Master Niu’s Palace, I’ll have to trouble you to open the door quickly, I want to see Taoist Chen Liuxi.”
An Zheng recognized the voice from the big shopkeeper, Lady Niu Zhong. Back then, An Zheng and Niu Zhong had a good relationship when they were still in Ming Fa Si. They had gone to Niu Zhong’s residence to eat, so he was quite familiar with Madam Niu.
In the middle of the night, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in An Zheng’s heart. Especially since Madam Niu sounded like she was crying, it was obvious that something urgent had occurred.
An Zheng immediately opened the door, causing the pale Madam Niu to stumble in.
“Madam, what happened?”
An Zheng supported Madam Niu with his hands. This old lady had an extremely good reputation in the Jinling and was regarded as a living Bodhisattva by the people. Although the people of the Great Xixi didn’t believe in the Buddhist Sect, they were used to calling the good people by the name of Bodhisattva. Niu Zhong and Madam Niu were childless, and the two of them were kind and compassionate. Whenever they encountered any trouble, they would lend a helping hand, and their neighbors would be extremely respectful to the two of them.
“Old Cow …” Something happened to the old cow. ”
An Zheng’s eyes turned cold. “What happened to Master Ox?”
“Tonight, the Second Manager of the auction house, Yue Shan Qun, invited Old Ox over. He said that he had something to discuss, and his expression didn’t seem to be right when Old Ox left, as he kept saying that Yue Shan must have had bad intentions. He said that Taoist Chen of the Hollow Jade Temple would be auctioning off some items at the Auction House in the next two days. Yue Shan Group must be looking for him at this time because it must be related to Taoist Chen of the Hollow Jade Temple.
“No matter how I tried to persuade him, he just refused to listen. He only told me that if he didn’t come back now, something would have happened. He told me to come immediately to find Daoist Chen Liuxi.”
Fury ignited in An Zheng’s heart, and even his expression changed.
“When I see him again, I was just about to leave and enter the Hollow Jade Temple when a group of men in black suddenly arrived. Fortunately, Old Ox had already given mreasure. He had used the salary that he had accumulated over the years to buy me some form of protection, allowing me to travel quickly. I had the good fortune to escape to my neighbor’s house. Those people couldn’t find me, so they came to the neighbors’ houses to look for me. Luckily, they didn’t commit murder in the neighbors’ houses, otherwise, I would have to implicate others … ”
She was grief-stricken, but in her heart she was thinking that she shouldn’t implicate her neighbors.
“I only dared to come out after those people left. I begged Daoist Chen to help me check if something had happened to the old cow.”
An Zheng held the Ox Lady’s hand and said, “Rest assured Madam, I will definitely bring the old cow back.”
“Bring Madam Niu into her room to rest. All disciples of the Hollow Jade Temple are forbidden from going out tonight without my order. Inform Chen Shaobai and Qi Tian and have them meet me. ”
After An Zheng finished giving orders, he flashed and appeared outside the courtyard. His mind was filled with maps of the entire Jinling. While the Great Western Ming Fa Si was working, he forced himself to remember every single place in the Jinling. It was to save time while investigating the case. These preparations gave An Zheng a lot of convenience later on.
He was not familiar with the Second Manager of the auction house, Yue Shan Qun, but he knew where his house was. In merely two to three minutes, An Zheng had already arrived outside Yue Shan’s house. He stomped his feet on the ground and rushed in from outside the wall. Then, witeleportation, he appeared outside the room.
Yue Shan’s group had a lot of family members, and all of the people in the courtyard had at least tens of people. However, these people’s cultivation were generally around the Captive Stage, making it impossible for them to discover An Zheng.
The lights in the room were very bright, reflecting the shadows of two people at the window. One of them was the Second Manager of the auction house, Yue Shan’s group.
“You are going to kill me. Didn’t you say that you only want to control the old cow? Why did you suddenly kill him?” Everyone in the Niu family knows that I invited Old Ox to my house. Now that you’ve killed the old Ox, I won’t be able to live much longer. ”
Another person said, “You really are a coward. You don’t have to worry about the Ox Family, I’ve already killed everyone in the Ox Family, who would have known that you were the one who tricked the old cow out. In a while, throw Niu Zhong’s body back home, then we can take away all the valuable things in his house … No one will be able to find out anything about this matter. ”
“That’s good, that’s good …” I think I just heard someone say that Niu Zhong’s wife is missing? ”
“How is this possible?”
Another person waved his hand, “She has already been found in her neighbor’s house. She has even killed all her neighbors. There is nothing to worry about. Just find an excuse to send everyone in the auction house out as soon as the sun rises. I will arrange for our people to be replaced. Then, you personally went to the Hollow Jade Temple to deliver a letter, saying that Niu Zhong had sent you to notify Chen Liuxi that a large buyer wanted to buy all the things the Hollow Jade Temple had left in the auction house. ”
Yue Shan Qun said in a sobbing tone, “You promised not to kill him. What should I do now?”
That person laughed coldly, “Yue Shan Qun, stop being so hypocritical. I can see your true thoughts in your eyes. You want to laugh. As long as Niu Zhong doesn’t die, you will never be able to geosition. Now, I have to kill Niu Zhong first. If I don’t do it, I guess... You’ll beg me to do it, won’t you? After so many years, Niu Zhong has always suppressed you. I heard that he said that your character was not good, so even if he did not let you go, he did not give you a promotion. He wanted to pin you to death in the auction house. Now that Niu Zhong is dead, you are the one and only person standing in power, shouldn’t you thank me? ”
Yue Shan Qun’s voice was a little strange as he said, “Although... Even though I wanted him to die, I can’t let him die in my home. This is bringing me trouble. If someone finds out, then I will die without a burial ground. ”
“Our Zhou family can’t protect you?”
That person coldly said, “If you continue to act for me, I’ll find someone else. Even if the head storekeeper is dead, the second storekeeper can’t? ”
Yue Shan Qun quickly bent over and said, “I will listen to your orders. However, I cannot hide this matter from you. You still have to have an excuse.”
“This matter has nothing to do with you.”
That person replied, “At that time, if the Sacred Emperor asks, you just say that you don’t know anything. Then, he would push this matter onto the dead body of Niu Zhong … After my Zhou family killed Chen Liuxi from the Hollow Jade Temple, the Hollow Jade Temple was no longer that important. Could His Majesty really make things difficult for my Zhou family because of a dead person? How many years has the Zhou Family been in the Jinling, and how many years has his Hollow Jade Temple been in the Jinling? ”
The shadow on the window raised his hand. Clearly, he had given something to Yue Shan Qun.
If you are truly afraid, then you will leave the Jinling after this matter is over. What our Zhou family has given you is more than enough for you to enjoy for several lifetimes. If you are still worried … How about this, you can leave tomorrow. As long as you send a letter to Chen Liuxi, everything else has nothing to do with you. ”
“This... I think I’ll stay. ”
Yue Shan Qun lowered his voice and said, “According to what I know, Niu Zhong still has a nephew in the Jinling who will occasionally visit his home. Although this nephew of his wasn’t a cultivator and couldn’t stir up any big ruckus, since he had already made his move, it was still better for him to do it cleanly. If we leave behind the cause of disaster, what kind of accident would happen? ”
That person coldly laughed, “You are indeed a heartless person. Yue Shan Qun, I was not mistaken about you. That nephew of Niu Zhong’s is so far away from the Western City, yet you still don’t want to let him go, your heart is even more vicious than mine. ”
“Well, cut the weeds by their roots.”
Yue Shan coughed a few times before saying, “Head storekeeper of the Auction House, surely there won’t be any accidents, right?”
That person said, “Don’t worry, the head storekeeper can only be you.”
Yue Shan nodded. “That’s good, that’s good. “Don’t let those cultivators outside let them go today. I’m not at ease.”
That person turned around and walked out, saying, “You are a man with a vicious heart, yet you are so timid. I really don’t know how you managed to survive under Niu Zhong’s hands all these years. Now that he’s dead, your good days have begun. I’ll keep all my men for you, and they’ll be under your control in the future.
Yue Shan Group opened the door for that person and said with a smile: “Master Zhou is indeed generous. If there is anything else that can be of use to me in the future, feel free to … “Ahhh!”
Before he could finish his words, he couldn’t help but let out a cry of shock as he froze in shock.
The moment he opened the door, he saw a young man standing outside with an ashen face and a cold killing intent in his eyes. This person was standing right in front of the entrance, coldly looking at them with sucerrifying gaze.
