Chapter 538 Arrest

Chapter 538 Arrest

Chapter 538 Arrest
From Mount Kinabalu, it is very easy to go to the main city.

But the area outside the city today can no longer be described as desolate. Seen from the air, there is a large bald spot on the vast grassland.

It is no longer possible to walk around the city. The roads are nowhere to be found. The ground is covered in thick dust that can easily bury a person. Once the wind blows, everything becomes gray. Once it rains, the consequences are unimaginable. Some places where water waves rush through have become like swamps.

Most of the businesses outside the city were destroyed, including the horse farm where Wu Jinliang once stayed, which was razed to the ground like a rotten wood.

The water veins were destroyed, and there were problems with the city's domestic water supply. We had to report it and ask someone familiar with water-based skills to come and restore the water veins.

Road construction is also underway outside the city. It has to be repaired. It will be difficult to move around when it rains, and it will be difficult for ordinary merchants to transport their goods in and out. Without the flow of people from the lower class, the upper-class life cannot be supported.

Without the lower-class population, this city would have no reason to exist.

Jiang Youer, who had changed his appearance, entered the city smoothly and headed straight for his destination.

Someone from the Jihuo Sect tipped off, so it was very easy to find the location of the Yintianlu. Someone was still keeping an eye on the building where the Bai family rice shop was located.

A carriage stopped outside the gate of the small building, and Jiang You'er, wearing a cloak, went straight to the door.

Then the people in the building suddenly disappeared, including the three Jihuo Sect disciples including Yin Tianlu, who disappeared silently.

After failing to get in touch with the Jihuo Sect, they realized something had happened and their efforts to investigate proved fruitless.

When the news reached Qiu Ben, there was a loud bang and the coffee table was knocked down by his palm, and the teacups were smashed into pieces.

Huang Lang, the eldest disciple who had just reported the situation, was also helpless.

Qiu Ben was furious, pointing outside the gate and shouting, "What is the sect for? What is the Heaven Seal Record? He has absorbed three divine fires, which is the future of the sect. I was afraid that he might get into trouble, so I forcibly sent him back. Why did the sect send him out to get involved in this matter? It's not that he is indispensable or cannot be left out. When something happened in Dazhi City, they should have known the danger and should have sent people back. Now let's see what the sect will do!"

Huang Lang sighed, "Master, calm down. It has already happened. We can only find someone to help."

Qiu Ben: "How do we look for it? Isn't it chaotic enough? We are the ones who are here to look for it. If we can find it, it's fine. If we can't, who will be responsible will be determined by the higher-ups. Do you think they will admit that it was their decision that was wrong?"

Huang Lang lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't know how to say much on this topic.

Although he was angry, he still had to report the situation. Qiu Ben suppressed his anger and thought for a long time before saying slowly, "Before, it was the Bai family that intervened. This time, it happened when I was spying on the Bai family rice shop. Relying on the support of the Phoenix family, they really don't know their own weight!"

Although it is not certain who the murderer is, Bai is a major suspect and he reported the situation as such.

As soon as the news reached the Jihuo Sect, the disappearance of Yin Tianlu shocked the top leaders, and they immediately made a strong decision in the shortest time possible.

After receiving the sect's decision, Qiu Ben immediately rushed to the temple on the main peak of the sacred mountain to meet the goddess Feng Qingping. He made it clear that three disciples of the Jihuo Sect had disappeared in Dazhi City again. They disappeared while monitoring the Bai family's rice shop. The Bai family was the most suspicious.

It has been happening time and again, it is simply lawless, and my Jihuo Sect cannot tolerate it anymore. There is no other way, we have to find someone, no matter the cost!
Feng Qingping frowned deeply. The last time several disciples of the Jihuo Sect disappeared and valuable treasures were lost, it was directly related to the Bai family. This time the disappearances were also related to the Bai family. Even she couldn't help but think more about it.

In fact, she had already received a secret message from the Phoenix Clan, saying that they had reached a cooperation with the Jihuo Sect. If it was really the Bai Clan who was relying on the Phoenix Clan's background to act recklessly, there was no need to be polite when it was time to set things right.

But after all, she was brought up by Grandma Qi, so she was raised by her. Grandma Qi is now the head of the Bai family, so she is still considering how to sort out this matter with the Bai family. Who knew that one problem would arise after another.

After thinking about it again and again, there was actually no need to think about it again and again. Qiu Ben came to her house just to force her to fulfill the Phoenix clan's promise.

After a long while, Feng Qingping asked, "How do you want me to cooperate?"

Qiu Ben said: "I have always believed that simple and direct methods are always the most effective methods."

Feng Qingping asked again: "What is the simple and direct method?"

Qiu Ben: "Arrest people and interrogate them. As long as they are afraid of death, I don't believe anyone can withstand torture and interrogation."

Feng Qingping: "Grandma Qi is the head of the Bai family. Do you think she can succumb to your torture?"

Qiu Ben: "No matter how capable a person is, he or she can't do everything. If she doesn't recruit, someone else will. I don't believe that there is no one under her who is involved and knows about it."

Feng Qingping: "What if it turns out that Bai didn't do it?"

Qiu Ben: "That is not something that Jihuo Sect has considered. My Jihuo Sect has already paid the price."

It means that if you, the Phoenix Clan, are not given enough benefits, you will not agree to cooperate.

After hearing this, Feng Qingping was silent for a while and proposed a condition, "Don't torture Grandma Qi."

This was the only respect she could offer her for raising him.

Qiu Ben was very courageous and decisive. "Okay. As long as she doesn't escape, there's no need to torture her. As long as she opens her mouth, she will have no choice but to confess, unless she wants to exterminate the entire clan! To prevent anyone from escaping, after all personnel are deployed in place, we will issue simultaneous orders to take action and capture all the relevant personnel!"

It's easy to say, but it takes a process to set up.

Not only will action be taken here in Shenshan, but also in Dazhicheng.

The Lord Fengjue of the Central District who got involved was shocked. He didn't expect that they would take action against Grandma Qi. He opposed it at first, but after learning that it was the Phoenix Clan's intention, he could only accept it in silence.

Soon, Po Yuan went down the mountain again and took a few people to rush to the big city.

After a long flight and arriving secretly, he immediately met with the city lord Li Xianghong and informed her of Shenshan's decision. Li Xianghong was also shocked that he was going to attack his friend. After contacting Shenshan to confirm, she had no choice but to obey the order and make secret arrangements.

After the news that everything was ready came from all over, the goddess Feng Qingping in the temple said to the maid: "Please ask Grandma Qi to come over and tell her that I have something to talk to her about."

"Yes." The maid took the order and left.

It’s not far away. Just leave the palace and fly down the mountain, and the nearest hill is it.

Upon learning that the goddess had summoned her, Grandma Qi did not think much about it. After all, it was a very normal thing, so she immediately went out and flew to the temple with the maid who informed her.

When she landed outside the palace and saw Feng Jue bowing without a smile on his face, she realized something was amiss. What happened to him today, who usually greeted people with a smile?
He immediately asked politely, "Young Lord, what happened? Did someone make you unhappy?"

Feng Jue didn't respond, but just turned sideways and gestured for him to come in.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Grandma Qi laughed and didn't ask any more questions. She leaned on her crutches, lifted up her skirt, and stepped over the threshold.

As soon as she entered, she found a strange face in the hall. She had never seen Qiu Ben from the Jihuo Sect, but she also had her own information channels on the mountain. Seeing Qiu Ben's hair just growing out, she guessed who it was, but pretended not to know him.

None of this was a big deal. What really made her feel something was wrong was that the goddess standing in the main seat did not descend to greet her, which was contrary to normal.

Feng Qingping, who was sitting in the main seat, also nodded slightly to Feng Jue at the door.

So Feng Jue turned around, took out the mother-child talisman, and sent out the messages to take action one by one.

A group of people immediately appeared around the hill where the Bai family settled and surrounded them.

In Yaoshan City, Hua Chong, a gangster, was strolling on the street. When he passed through a group of people, a passerby suddenly turned around and attacked him. He pinned him to the ground, covered his head with a sack, and threw him into a nearby carriage and took him away.

Suddenly, people rushed out from upstairs and downstairs of Zhulang Pavilion. Those upstairs rushed into the guest rooms to arrest people, and those in the forest downstairs were also besieged and made to roar like tigers.

After the action took place, Lou Xiucai, who was guarding Yin Xu, apologized and left, restoring Yin Xu's freedom.

In fact, it was just to get Yin Xu's cooperation. She needed Yin Xu to let the group of people who started the fight go upstairs, but she also had to prevent Yin Xu from leaking the news, so her freedom was restricted for a short time.

Yin Xu was not going to thank him either. He quickly stretched his head out the window to see what was happening downstairs. He saw a white tiger that was forced to reveal its true form. The latter wanted to resist, but when he saw the captors revealed their identities as city guards, he did not want to cause a conflict and surrendered.

The incident happened suddenly and ended quickly. The Bai family's people didn't know what was going on and didn't want to cause trouble at the foot of the sacred mountain, so they basically cooperated as soon as the city guards revealed their identities.

Yin Xu hurried out to see what was going on and bumped into Tian Shen who was running over.

Tian Shen reported in a low voice, "Those arrested were guests who were targeting Wang Ping. They all seemed to be from the Bai family."

"Bai's?" Yin Xu thought of the white tiger he had just seen downstairs and was surprised. How could he not know the relationship between the Bai family and the Phoenix clan when he was here? This was Shenshan's sphere of influence. Why would the city guards attack the Bai family?

She didn't know what was going on, so she immediately went back to her room, took out the mother-child talisman, and sent the relevant information to Shi Chun. After all, she was keeping an eye on Shi Chun, and she didn't know whether the news would be useful to Shi Chun, so she informed Shi Chun immediately.

In the city, a group of people suddenly appeared and rushed into Bai’s Rice Shop.

Seeing the city guards rushing in to arrest people, not to mention the shop assistants, Bai Qiru was also surprised. Although he didn't know what was going on, he cooperated and was taken away obediently.

Chaoyue Pavilion was no exception. A group of city guards rushed in from behind, scaring a group of guests who were reading and chatting. Then, all five members of the owner's family were escorted out without exception.

Dong Wenshu shouted, "What are you doing? What do you want to do? I want to see the city lord, I want to see the city lord!"

A kind-hearted city guard sighed, "Sir, please stop yelling. This is the order from the city lord. We are all old acquaintances. If you keep yelling, we will be forced to resort to some means, and it will be embarrassing for everyone."

The three sisters of the Dong family were obviously frightened. They all had good looks, but they all looked panic-stricken. They didn’t know what they had done wrong. Could it be that the matter with their cousin was not over yet?
Their family is honest and decent. Apart from the last incident with Fan Wuzhe, they can't think of anything that would implicate them.

The neighbors who were watching the excitement on the street were also pointing and talking, saying that there might be some misunderstanding, and they all felt that this family could not have done anything wrong...

"What do you want to do?"

"Who told you to trespass?"

On the sacred mountain, Wu Jinliang and three others who were under house arrest by the Bai family also heard the unusual noises outside.

He ran out of the underground meditation room, lay down and looked out through the cracks in the window and door, and found that a group of people from Shenshan had surrounded the place, and the people from the Bai family were obviously in confrontation with them.

As he was watching, Wu Jinliang, who was observing through the window, suddenly reached out and took out the mother-child talisman. It was a message from Shi Chun, saying that the city guards at Zhulang Pavilion were arresting Bai's people, and he didn't know what was going on, so he asked him to ask Grandma Qi what was going on.

Wu Jinliang was startled, and then he glanced out the window. He suddenly realized something was wrong. It wasn't the city guards who were arresting the Bai family's people. It was Shenshan who was doing the action. He immediately cursed in a low voice, "What are you asking?" He turned around and looked at the other three, "I say, stop looking and run with me!"

"What's wrong?" Chu Jingtang asked, and the three of them turned their heads to look.

"Who knows? Let's run first!" After saying this, Wu Jinliang was like a headless fly, not knowing where to run.

Finally, he waved his hand and called everyone to run back to the quiet room with him, and started to pick up the floor tiles one by one.
