Both of them have the cultivation base of the Qi Refining stage.
“Who are you?!” the two guards asked nervously, on high alert.
“I just wanted to ask, what’s the situation with Zhao family next door?” Fang Yu asked. “I noticed that they don’t seem to be home. Do you know where the Zhao family went?”
“The Zhao family?!” The two guards looked at each other, their brows furrowed.
“What is your relationship with the Zhao family?” one of the guards asked Fang Yu, looking at him.
“I’m a distant relative of theirs and I’d like to come to Huaibei to live with them for a while…” Fang Yu replied.
“You’re late. They left a week ago.” the guard replied.
“Gone? Gone where?” Fang Yu was stunned and asked.
“Where did they go, and how would we know? All we know is that their whole family left that morning.” the guard replied with a frown.
“What was their condition like at the time? Did they leave by car?” Fang Yu asked again.
“Status? I’m not sure, we just glanced at them from afar. As for taking a car… it didn’t seem like it. It felt more like they were walking, just strolling along the sidewalk outside the villas.” The guard thought for a moment before replying.
Leaving by walking!? <<<
Fang Yu frowned and asked, “Besides their family, are there other people? Guiding the way in front of them or…”
“I don’t know, they all say we just glanced at each other from afar. Where would they know so much!?” The guard said impatiently, “Anyway, they didn’t come back after that day. They probably moved to somewhere else… Nan Du is indeed quite dangerous, it’s normal for the Zhao family patriarch to cherish his life…”
Fang Yu originally wanted to ask more about the situation in Nandou.
But at this time, the two guards were visibly impatient.
Unwillingly, Fang Yu had to use some tricks.
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu’s eyes flashed, and the two guards trembled, their faces immediately becoming vacant.
Now, the contents of both their memories… are all displayed before Fang Yu’s eyes.
Fang Yu soon found the scene that the two of them had seen the morning a week ago.
They stood about a hundred meters away, watching the Zhao family members walk out of the front gate. One by one, they lined up and walked along the sidewalk towards the outside of the villa district.
Although the memory is a bit fuzzy… combining both of their recollections allows for a fairly clear conclusion.
That is, the Zhao family’s way of walking… seems a little stiff.
And as they walked, there seemed to be no communication between them, just a straight-forward march forward.
It doesn’t look like a casual stroll.
Moreover, Nandu is now occupied by outsiders, and the outside world is extremely dangerous. The possibility of a whole family going out for a walk is extremely small.
Soon, Fang Yu’s eyes lit up again.
The two guards in front of him stiffened again, then looked at Fang Yu, their eyes filled with confusion.
“Thank you.”
Fang Yu didn’t ask any more questions, and turned to leave.
He walked slowly along the sidewalk across from the large mansion, under the dim streetlights.
A week ago, all members of the Zhao family left their large house in the morning, walking in a strange manner.
A whole family set out from their villa district on foot one morning…
Something seems very off.
Where would they walk to in that way of theirs?
…and from the memories of those two guards, there was no sign of anything unusual in front of or behind them.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, and came to the security booth at the entrance of the villa district.
However, nowadays, the security booth is completely unmanned.
Therefore, Fang Yu’s idea of checking out the surveillance footage from the villa district gate could only be abandoned.
“Now Zhao Zinan can no longer get in touch with the Zhao family…” Fang Yu touched his chin and shook his head.
Huaibei is simply too big. Without any leads, he has no way to find Zhao’s people.
But judging from the way they left the manor… It doesn’t seem entirely reasonable to say they were in danger.
If you were going to kill them, why make them walk out of the mansion? It seems like overkill.
“Let them leave. It’s not about taking their lives, but holding their lives in check… to be traded for something,” Fang Yu thought.
As for what to exchange it for… <<<
Fang Yu quickly thought of Zhao Zinan.
This girl with a peculiar physique.
Zhao Zinan was targeted by the demonic sect from the very beginning, and was called a “container” by the celestial demon. They went to great lengths to kidnap her.
Until the sky demon was beaten up by Fang Yu, it still said that Fang Yu couldn’t protect Zhao Zi Nan.
Zhao Zinan was born to be a vessel, and more and more beings would discover her existence and try every means to take it away from her…
“It seems… the other party’s target is Zhao Zinan.” Fang Yu made a decision in his heart.
Even at Zhao’s mansion earlier, no information left behind by the other party was found.
If you want to threaten the Zhao family’s lives…at least leave a contact number.
However, the other party may not be in a hurry.
Fang Yu walked out of the villa area and stood on the street, no longer thinking.
If their target is Zhao Zinan, then no matter what, they will find a way to contact Zhao Zinan, or Fang Yu.
“Since that’s the case…”
Fang Yu raised his hand to open a teleportation portal, directly heading towards the Palace of Frost.
……
Within the Frost Palace, there was a profound peace.
Because of its remote location, this place seems to have been overlooked by outsiders and has not been threatened by any foreign forces.
At this moment, Su Lengyun stood on the flat ground of the martial arts field, looking up at the half moon in the sky.
“Whoosh…”
Su Lengyun was lost in thought, when a figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed beside her.
“Such a good mood, still admiring the moon?” Fang Yu asked.
“….Brother Yu!” Su Lengyun turned her head and saw Fang Yu, her face full of surprise.
For her, it had been over a year since she last saw Fang Yu.
“Yu Gege, how did you come here?” Su Lengyun blinked her bright eyes and asked.
“Let’s take a look at your situation,” Fang Yu said. “Then I’ll have to go north.”
“Hmm.” Su Lengyun brushed her blue bangs behind her ear and looked at Fang Yu up and down.
“Are you sure it’s safe here?” Fang Yu looked around and asked.
“Well, it should be relatively safe… The Ghost Scale Clan and the Black Crow Clan who occupy Huaibei have both temporarily halted their killings…” Su Lengyun said.
“Pause? Things were quite dire before, weren’t they?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.
“The Huaibei martial arts world, it was ravaged.” Su Lengyun took a deep breath, her eyes filled with anger. “Many cultivators…died in this disaster.”
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly.
After a trip to the Jiangnan region, he thought that the situation in other areas would be slightly better than in Beidu.
But it seems… It’s just the Jiannan faction’s eccentric nature, giving him this illusion.
“Don’t worry, I’ll deal with the Tianhun Clan in Beidu first, and I’ll be right at Huaibei soon.” Fang Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Su Lengyun’s expression changed slightly, and she immediately understood what Fang Yu meant.
Her face shifted, but she quickly regained her composure.
She was well aware that Fang Yu could accomplish anything he set his mind to.
She just needs to stand on Fang Yu’s side.
“Brother Yu… when you get to Huaibei, I want to fight by your side.” Su Lengyun bit her lip and said firmly.
“No problem.” Fang Yu patted Su Lengyun’s shoulder and said, “If you encounter any situation, remember to notify me with a sound transmission talisman… Now, I have to go back.”
“…Hmm.” Su Lengyun nodded.
Fang Yu opened the teleportation gate and stepped directly into it.
Su Lengyun looked at the place where Fang Yu disappeared, her eyes filled with excitement.
She waited for Fang Yu to come back… It had been a long time.
Now Fang Yu has finally appeared…and he’s fighting against the extraterrestrial race!
Su Lengyun sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate, running her cultivation techniques.
She is going to seize every single moment now and improve her strength!
“Brother Yu, in the future, I will definitely not hold you back.” Su Lengyun thought to herself.
……
Fang Yu returned to the large house in Beidu and immediately found Zhao Zinan.
Seeing Fang Yu return so quickly, Zhao Zinan had a bad premonition.
“I went to Zhao’s house, but I didn’t see anyone.” Fang Yu truthfully recounted what he had seen.
Although Zhao Zinan had mentally prepared herself, tears still streamed down her face uncontrollably when Fang Yu said it.
