nChapter 249: Clue (1)

nTranslator: 549690339

nIn the Fish City, everyone headed straight to the ninth-rank aristocratic family, the Yu family’s residence.

nThe Yu Family’s mansion was located in the east of Fish City, which was different from the location of ordinary aristocratic families.

nGenerally speaking, in order to show the supreme ruling position of the aristocratic families in the city, they would place their mansions in the center of the city.

nThe reason why the Yu Family had set up their residence in the eastern part of the Fish City was because the eastern part of the Fish City was adjacent to a large lake.

nThis lake occupied one-third of the Fish City’s territory, and there were rich resources in it. The Yu family naturally relied on the lake to eat.

nBack to the main topic.

nAfter entering the mansion, everyone did not smell the stench. Or rather, the stench had lessened significantly.

nThis made Yang Chen very confused. Why did this happen?

nCould it be that there were some treasures here?

nAfter a round of searching, Yang Chen smiled and shook his head. How could such a treasure appear so easily?

nSeventh Brother, something’s not right.” Chen Xiao walked to Chen Yang and said.

n“Something’s wrong? What’s wrong?” Yang Chen looked at Chen Hao.

nChen Xiao took a deep breath and slowly said,””Seventh brother, did you find the corpses of the Yu family members?”

nAfter Chen Xiao’s reminder, Chen Yang came to a sudden realization. Along the way, he had only seen corpses dressed in the uniform of the Yu family’s servants. He had not seen any corpses of the Yu family members or corpses dressed in luxurious clothes.

n“Could it be that there are no corpses of the Yu family here, which is why the stench here is less?”

n“It seems like that’s the case. But why aren’t there any corpses of the Yu family? Was he killed outside, or was there some other reason?”

nChen Yang pondered for a while and then came to Sun Tianke’s side,” Master Sun, do you know if the Yu family has done anything strange in the past few years?”

nHearing this, Sun Tianke pondered for a while and said,””Yes, the Yu family has been going to the Endless Mountain Range from time to time these past few years. This time, the number of them is far more than any other family in our Zuoling County.”

n“And most importantly, the Yu family has never gained anything from entering the Endless Mountain Range.”

n“Even so, the Yu family still went to the Endless Mountain Range happily, as if there was some secret in the Endless Mountain Range that attracted him.”

nHearing Sun Tianke’s words, Yang Chen turned his gaze to the Endless Mountains.

nWhat was in the Endless Mountain Range that attracted the Yu Family?

nDid this thing have anything to do with the Sorcerers choosing Fish City?

n“Patriarch, come over and take a look!”

nAt this moment, a cry of surprise interrupted Yang Chen’s thoughts. Yang Chen looked over and saw the Second Elder, Chen Meng, calling out to him.

nImmediately, Chen Yang leaped forward and rushed to Chen Meng’s side.” Second Elder, did you find anything?””

n“Patriarch, what do you think this is?” Chen Meng pointed at a small piece of refined iron in the ruins in front of him.

nYang Chen heard this and slowly squatted down. He also looked at the small refined iron piece.

nThe refined iron was carved into a strange shape. It was triangular in shape, and inside the triangle was a skull.

nSeeing this, Yang Chen didn’t touch the iron symbol but called Chen Ying over.

n“Patriarch, what’s the matter?” Chen Ying jogged to Yang Chen’s side and squatted down with him.

n“Shadow Guest, do you recognize this symbol?”Yang Chen pointed at the refined iron block below.

nChen Ying followed Yang Chen’s gaze and looked at the strange symbol.

nChen Ying’s pupils constricted when he saw it. If it wasn’t for the qualities of an assassin, Chen Ying would have shouted.

nYang Chen noticed Chen Ying’s strange behavior, so he asked in a low voice,””Shadow Guest, what did you discover?”

nChen Ying replied softly,””Patriarch, this is the symbol of an Evil Sect.”

nYang Chen’s eyes lit up. It seemed that he had found a clue. He immediately asked,”Shadow Honored Guest, which Evil Sect’s symbol is that?”

n“Ghost Fiend Sect.” Chen Ying said slowly.

n“Ghost Fiend Sect?” Chen Yang felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.” Wait a minute, isn’t the sect that Honoured Guest Ling’s master is in the same sect as this Ghost Fiend Sect?”

n“That’s right, it’s that Ghost Fiend Sect.’As a guest of the Chen Clan, Chen Ying knew about this.

nHearing this, Yang Chen took a deep breath. He had finally found some clues.

n“After the incident with Master Ling You, the Ghost Fiend Sect has already suffered quite a bit. If they still dare to stir up trouble, they’re really courting death.”Yang Chen narrowed his eyes.

nImmediately, Chen Yang patted Chen Ying’s shoulder.” Shadow Guest, I’ll give you a mission to pierce the guard.”

n“Please speak, Patriarch.”

n“I’ve been searching along the Endless Mountain Range that corresponds to the Fish City. I have a feeling that the Ghost Fiend Sect is colluding with the Yu Family.”Yang Chen said.

n“Understood.” Chen Ying nodded.

nYang Chen then continued to search the Fish City. Unfortunately, he found no other clues other than the symbol of the Sorcerer.

nImmediately, Yang Chen and the others returned to the north gate. When the surrounding people came over, they ordered the people to bury the people of the city.

nBecause the news of the city being destroyed by the evil cultivators had already spread throughout Zuoling County, Chen Yang and the others did not plan to hide it.

nIt was a good opportunity to let everyone know the terror of the evil cultivators and make everyone cautious. Once they found anything, they could report it to the Chen family and the Sun family early.

nAfter three days of busyness, tens of thousands of people buried the people of Fish City together, and let their dust return to dust.

nAfter doing all this, everyone returned to Sun City. After resting for a while, they returned to Chen City.

nThis operation had taken half a month. What they knew was that the massacre of the city was done by the Evil Sect and the Ghost Sect.

nOf course, it didn’t matter who did it. Yang Chen’s main concern now was whether this matter had anything to do with the royal family’s ancestor.

nFor this reason, Chen Yang had specially called Chen Ying over.” Guest Elder Ying, do you know what age the Ghost Fiend Sect’s cultivation technique requires men or women?”

n“I don’t know much about the Ghostly Fiend Sect. 1 only know that the Ghostly Fiend Sect requires the blood essence of an 18-year-old woman.”Chen Ying said.

n“Yes, I understand.”

nNodding his head, Yang Chen motioned for Chen Ying to leave.

nWhen Yang Chen was the only one left in the meeting hall, he began to hold his chin and think.

nThe age of the person who was taken away from Fish City was indeed in line with the requirements of the Ghost Fiend Sect.

nHowever, he only knew the age requirement for women, not for men. If the man’s request was the same as the woman’s, then this Ghost Fiend Sect had nothing to do with the royal family’s ancestor.

nIf they were different, then there were many possibilities.

n“It seems that I have to figure out the requirements of the Ghost Fiend Sect’s cultivation method before I can know if it has anything to do with the royal family’s ancestor.”

n“Then, let’s see if the Piercing Guard and the Firmament Dragon Guard can gather any useful information for me.”

nAfter sorting out his thoughts, Yang Chen began to deal with his family matters.

nAt the same time, the commander of the Firmament Dragon Guards handed a letter to his subordinate, telling him to rush to the Chen Family..

n
