Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly heard Hong Yang say, "Check the number of people first to see if everyone in the Luo Family is dead."

"Humph!"

Fang Qian swung his sleeves, he did not know whether it was towards Han Qing or Hong Yang, but he shouted to his subordinates: "Listen carefully, all the corpses are marked, and then counted. Don't touch anything, stay put. Little Rock, go back to the City Lord's Mansion and report this matter to the city master. Then, bring the register back.

After around an hour, another group of people entered the Luo Residence. The one in the lead was the Ningyang City Master Gu Changdong, and behind him was a hundred man team of city guards.

Standing in front of these cold corpses, Gu Changdong's expression was extremely ugly.

The Youzhou Continent was very big, but the Ningyang City was very small. There were three prefectures, nine countries, and one hundred and eight cities in the entire Youzhou. Amongst them, Ningyang City was not even enough to reach the third rate.

In this world, only martial arts was revered and martial arts was revered. From top to bottom, every key point was controlled by a region's tyrannical forces. These forces also spread out in all directions.

The reason Gu Changdong was able to become the Master of the Ningyang City was also because of the sect backing him, and the fact that his Ningyang was one of the best was also because of this reason. Moreover, the background of the Luo Family was not one that Gu Changdong could afford to offend.

In this world of martial arts, cultivation techniques, pills, and weapons were known as the three Superclass. It was an essential resource for a martial artist to cultivate, especially when pills were involved.

This was because powerful pills could not only make cultivation simple and efficient, they could even change fate. A martial artist with mediocre talent could have peerless Innate Ability and could advance by leaps and bounds in the path of martial arts and become a great martial artist of their generation.

In other words, pills were used to create a basic platform, and cultivation techniques and weapons could only be used as a foundation. No matter how powerful a cultivation technique or how overbearing a weapon was, without a good foundation, it would be useless.

Thus, one could imagine just how powerful a clan that could refine pills was. They were the uncrowned kings. Fortunately, refining pills was extremely demanding on one's innate talent. This kind of person was extremely rare. Even if they were the heirs of aristocratic families, they were still considered one in a million. Otherwise, they would be the ones dominating the world.

The power behind Ningyang was precisely such a power. They were a branch of the Nether Continent's Pine Wind County Pill Master s.

It was evident from the fact that Princess Pine Wind County was the host of the twelve cities and had great power, that she was offering the Pill Master, which was no more than a hundred acres, as a guest.

As for the Star Moon Sect Sect Master, if he wanted to meet Princess Pine Wind County once, he estimated that it would take one to two months for the queue to line up.

Medicinal families usually didn't have many people and weren't interested in power. Thus, they would often leave branches in charge of purchasing raw materials and selling finished products.

Ningyang and Ling Family belonged to two families, respectively, which were both arranged to be branch families that would purchase and sell here.

With such a huge incident happening in the Ningyang, as the Ningyang City Master, Gu Changdong had long since been drenched in cold sweat, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his heart.

Pills families usually did not have a strong force of force, but those martial forces that they were on good terms with were not simple. Forget about Returning Origin Stage Warriors, even Earth Origin Stage experts, or even Sky Origin Stage Grandmasters would be able to make a move for this, not to mention the fact that there was the Lord Princess of Pine Wind County above them.

and his Star Moon Sect could not bear the wrath of either of them.

At this time, Gu Changdong clenched his teeth tightly, cursing in his heart. Which bastard would be so bold to dare to touch Pill Master's Luo Family?

"Investigate!" Find out! A time limit of three days, we must find some clues, otherwise, all of you will die with us! "

Gu Changdong was panicking, he pointed at Hong Yang and the others and roared!

Ningyang City, City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, the sky was already bright.

The meeting hall with its spacious City Lord's Mansion was filled with people, but it was completely silent.

City Lord Gu Changdong's face was gloomy, he sat behind the middle desk, he had already calmed down a lot. There was a cup of tea on the table, but it had long since lost its temperature. Just like the atmosphere in the hall, it was exceptionally chilly and depressing.

Hong Yang, Fang Qian and the other constables sat on one side of the great hall while the other side was the leader of the city guards, along with his subordinates.

Although everyone was expressionless, their eyes were twinkling. It was obvious that they were all making their own plans.

After a long while, Gu Changdong slowly spoke with a low and hoarse voice, "According to the investigation conducted at the scene, a total of two hundred and thirty-one people died in the Luo Palace. Luo Hua and his wife, the eldest son, Luo Song, and the second son, Luo Bai were among them. If she were still alive, it would be a blessing in disguise. You all understand the stakes involved in this matter. I will immediately write a letter and report the situation to the princess. I hope that before the princess makes her decision, everyone here can do two things well. First, find Luo Qingyao, see her if she is alive, and see her corpse if she is dead. "2. Collect all the clues, the more detailed the better."

With that, Gu Changdong took a sip from his bowl, and the cold tea entered his throat as he unknowingly frowned.

Boom! *

Gu Changdong coughed a few times and continued: "Hong Yang, Fang Qian, Han Qing, Gong Liang, Geng Zhong, the five of you go all out to find Luo Qingyao. If you can't find Luo Qingyao, don't come back. Song Du will lead you to command your Black Armoured Army to search every household in the city, and at the same time, send orders for every county, village, town, and town under Ningyang City to search for clues. If you meet any suspicious person, you must capture them immediately and interrogate them strictly. Everyone else shall carry on their duties without fail. Go! "

"Yes sir!"

Everyone in the hall responded in unison and rushed out of the hall as if they had met an amnesty.

Only Hong Yang walked slowly, his footsteps hesitating.

Gu Changdong sensed that something was amiss with Hong Yang, he called out, "Constable Hong, what is it?

At this time, only Gu Changdong and Hong Yang were left in the hall. Hong Yang stopped in his tracks, muttered to himself for a moment, then turned around and said: "Reporting to my lord, this subordinate had once met the great Young Master Xiao You Cheng, near the Green Willow Garden last night. At that time, he had just finished drinking with a group of friends, and one of them had unintentionally said, Young Master Xiao, your Xiao Family is about to become the largest medicine dealer in Ningyang. This subordinate thinks that those words have something to do with the Luo Residence's tragedy. "

Gu Changdong frowned, he stared at Hong Yang and played with the porcelain teacup in his hand.

After a while, Gu Changdong nodded his head and said: "Mn, I understand, you can go now."

Hong Yang was a little disappointed with Gu Changdong's answer. There was a reason why he was able to explain the situation.

It was because Hong Yang had long suspected Xiao You Cheng, but because Xiao Family was also a family of pellets, he did not dare act rashly. That was why he told Gu Changdong about this matter, wanting Gu Changdong to send a letter to him so that he could lead people to ask Xiao You Cheng about it. However, Gu Changdong was obviously also worried about the background of the Xiao Family.
