Chapter 67: The Malicious Zhuo Qiuhang! Intelligence Update! Revenge Taken! Exposing the Plot Again!

Qin Wang bid farewell to his sister Qin Xuemei and immediately turned to disappear into Longjing City.

East of the city.

Inside a three-room green-bricked and tiled house.

Qin Wang bolted the door, sat on the bed, and sorted through his possessions while deciding what to do next.

His techniques included the Five Elements Gathering Qi Technique.

His weapons included the Soul-stirring Blade and the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles.

His treasures included the Soul Gathering Bowl, a precious bowl, the Five Elements Divine Light Jar, a yellowed jade piece, a mysterious fragment, an old sheepskin scroll obtained from Jiang Hanyun and his companions, a small cyan sword from Madam Chen, 12 remaining spirit stones, and a storage bag from Master Qingyao.

"I still need to cultivate to the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage to open the storage bag!"

"Carrying so much stuff in a large bundle is really inconvenient."

Qin Wang looked at his bundle and thought to himself.

At the same time.

Qin Wang was very much looking forward to the storage bag from Master Qingyao.

"Zhuo Qiuhang, you issued a warrant for my arrest to kiss Chen Yi's dirty feet, and you still think the Zhuo family will prosper for a hundred years? Ha! It will only lead to your family's faster demise!"

Qin Wang thought about the recent posters with his and his sister's portraits plastered all over Yunzhou City and clenched his fists tightly.

With this thought in mind.

Qin Wang took out two crystalline spirit stones, sat cross-legged, and silently began cultivating, aiming to reach the second level of the Qi Refining stage as soon as possible.

On his way to the Immortal Attraction Platform, Qin Wang intermittently absorbed spirit stones, increasing his progress in the first level of the Qi Refining stage to 818 points, making the mana in his dantian increasingly abundant.

Yunzhou.

Chishui County.

In a forest thirty miles away.

On a moss-covered white stone about ten feet wide.

A man about fifty years old with a coin-shaped birthmark on his left cheek, dressed in black, sat cross-legged. His breath was weak, and his face was pale. He looked toward Jinzhou with a look of frustration and fear in his eyes.

"Damn Su Tianhai!"

"I lent him the Three Corpse Gu King Jar, and he lost it! Useless! Good-for-nothing!"

"Cough, cough...cough, cough."

Jin Shifeng coughed a few times, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He wiped the blood and felt utterly dejected.

Su Tianhai, who had been consuming brain matter, attracted the Divine Catching Department and Yang Yuting. The commotion became so significant that it drew the attention of the Red Lian Immortal in Jinzhou. Originally, the Demon Slaying Alliance he relied on was at odds with the Yi Dan Society behind Red Lian Immortal.

This made enemies meet and ignite intense hatred.

It was tough enough to recover from some injuries, and now it was worse.

Had he not paid a heavy price to escape, he would have been finished in the mortal realm.

"I need to recover some injuries first before I can find the Scent-tracking Gu and the Three Corpse Gu King Jar."

Jin Shifeng sighed helplessly.

He had been severely injured and needed to recover.

The Three Corpse Gu King Jar's best use was to absorb human essence to aid his recovery. But with his internal organs dislocated and mana exhausted, he hid in the underground of the Voodoo Sect and had to rely on Su Tianhai to collect the essence for his healing.

Handing over the Scent-tracking Gu and the Three Corpse Gu King Jar to Su Tianhai was a desperate move.

Moreover, both items bore his mana imprint, and Su Tianhai had been poisoned by him, so he wasn't worried about Su Tianhai running away.

Even if lost, he was confident in retrieving them.

Yunzhou.

Yuntian Mansion, adjacent to Longjing City.

As Yunzhou's prefectural mansion.

Inside the mansion, a middle-aged man of medium build, wearing a black gauze cap and a tight brocade robe, about fifty years old, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at a handsome young man in front of him with a look of surprise and asked, "Yidao, are you saying that the Qin siblings might have come to our Yunzhou?"

"Yes, father!"

"According to the Yunling Guard's tracking and comparison, out of the forty-four pairs of couples matching the fluidity characteristics, forty-three pairs have been captured and ruled out, leaving the last pair unaccounted for in Longjing City."

"They must have changed their appearance and identity!"

"Currently, I have dispatched the Divine Catchers to conduct a thorough investigation!"

Zhuo Yidao respectfully reported to his father, Zhuo Qiuhang.

For the death of his aunt, Zhuo Yidao was extremely angry. When he was young, his aunt treated him very well. As the deputy commander of the Yunling Guard, he vowed to capture the siblings and torture them to death!

"Yidao, while capturing the Qin siblings, we can also start with their relatives, neighbors, and close associates!"

"This time, helping your cousin's family catch the culprit is our Zhuo family's chance!"

"Once your cousin Chen Yi returns, he can easily ensure our family's prosperity for a hundred years! Even the current emperor must treat an immortal with respect!"

Zhuo Qiuhang looked at his eldest son with a thoughtful expression and said.

"Father, I was just about to mention this to you!"

"I've already investigated. The Qin siblings had a good relationship with their neighbor, the fisherman Li Yunhai, in Qingniu Town. Also, Qin Wang once worked as an apprentice at Baicaotang in Yan County's Qingniu Town. When Constable Zheng Kecheng arrested him for arson and murder, Doctor Bai Mingliang vouched for him, indicating a close relationship!"

"Besides them, there are no other close associates!"

"I'm planning to arrest Li Yunhai's family and Doctor Bai Mingliang's grandfather and grandson! Then execute them in front of the Qin siblings!"

"This is a great opportunity for our Zhuo family. To earn our cousin's gratitude, we must be ruthless and cut the knot quickly. We must capture the Qin siblings and execute them!"

Zhuo Yidao's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he made a cutting motion with his right hand.

"Yes, Yidao, that's the way to do it!"

"One must be ruthless to stand firm! Opportunities are fleeting!"

"Go ahead with your plan! I'll support you in everything!"

Zhuo Qiuhang nodded approvingly at his eldest son.

"Yes!"

Zhuo Yidao respectfully answered and turned to leave.

Yunzhou.

Luyang City.

Drunk Fragrance Tavern, second floor.

Four powerful figures sat by the window.

"Don't worry, cousin. My father has offered a hefty reward for the capture of Qin Wang and Qin Xuemei throughout Yunzhou. Anyone providing information will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. Many martial artists are also searching for them! Those siblings won't escape!"

"Since we know they are in Yunzhou, it won't be long before we catch them!"

Zhuo Yijian comforted his gloomy cousin Chen Kun.

"Those siblings killed over a hundred members of my family. This hatred is irreconcilable! I can't suppress it!"

"Once we capture them, I want to gather all their neighbors, relatives, and close associates and torture them to death in front of them!"

"Let them experience the pain of losing their loved ones!"

Chen Kun drank a mouthful of wine and said with venomous eyes.

"Cousin is right. Once we capture them, we should skin them alive, drive nails through their fingers, and torture them to death!"

Zhuo Yijian nodded in agreement.

Longjing City.

East of the city.

In the left room of a three-room tiled house.

At dawn.

[Daily Intelligence Update!]

[Today's Intelligence]

[1: Yesterday at Yunlai Teahouse, you heard people praising Yunzhou's governor Zhuo Qiuhang for his integrity and obtained information that Zhuo Qiuhang's sexual performance lasts only three breaths, causing his wives and concubines to secretly despise him. He loves his concubine Huang Ying and has been secretly having an affair with his eldest son Zhuo Yidao for years. His youngest son Zhuo Yifei is actually his grandson.]

[2: Yesterday at Yunlai Teahouse, you heard people praising Yunzhou's governor Zhuo Qiuhang for his integrity and obtained information that Zhuo Qiuhang plans to curry favor with the immortal Chen Yi by ordering his shadow guards, the Yunling Guards, to capture your neighbor Li Yunhai's family and Doctor Bai Mingliang's grandfather and grandson, intending to torture them to death in front of you once you are captured.]

[3: Yesterday you tried to find out the secret of the Qingyu Small Sword obtained from Chen's old lady. You received intelligence that Chen Kun has already come to Yunzhou with Zhuo Yijian. Chen Kun hates you to madness, drinking heavily every day. He has decided that after capturing you, he will return and capture your neighbor Li Yunhai and your friend Bai Mingliang's grandfather and grandson, and torture them to death in front of you to satisfy his hatred.]

[4: Yesterday you observed the Three Corpse Gu King Jar and obtained intelligence that it belongs to the immortal master Jin Shifeng. It was lost by Su Tianhai. Jin Shifeng is very angry and is preparing to use the 'Scent-Sensing Gu' to sense and retrieve it once his injuries recover a bit.]

[5: Yesterday you practiced the Five Elements Gathering Qi Technique and obtained intelligence that you will advance to the second level of Qi Refinement stage after absorbing the remaining 12 spirit stones on your body.]

[6: Yesterday you went to the Immortal Ascension Platform and obtained intelligence that Liu Bihong accepted a disciple with a heavenly spirit root. Knowing the importance of 'a tall tree catches the wind', she did not publicly announce Qin Xuemei's name, and instructed her five disciples to keep it secret. She ended the recruitment early and returned to the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect with the good news.]

[7: Yesterday you saw your sister Qin Xuemei off to the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect and obtained intelligence that the sect leader Mu Qianxue will accept Qin Xuemei as her personal disciple in seven days. To prevent jealousy and sabotage from the Tyrant Sword Sect and Spirit Herb Sect, Mu Qianxue is keeping Qin Xuemei's acceptance secret. Only a few elders of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect know about this.]

[8: Yesterday you wore the mysterious fragment on your chest and obtained intelligence that the nearest mysterious fragment to you will be auctioned at the Tianbao Pavilion in Qingyun Immortal City today, but will ultimately fail to sell.]

[9: Yesterday you used the treasure bowl to refine the Blood Qi Pill and obtained intelligence that the bowl's spirit has been cursed, losing 99% of its power. To restore the bowl, the curse needs to be broken.]

[10: Yesterday you checked Qingyao Shangren's Introduction to Alchemy and obtained intelligence that Small Dan Mountain, where Qingyao Shangren once stayed for decades, has its entrance at Elephant's Trunk in the Cloudy Mist Mountain Range. It's covered by an array formation and guarded by low-level cultivators. To enter, one needs to be at least at the Innate realm in martial arts or have reached the first level of Qi Refinement stage.]

"You, Zhuo Qiuhang!"

"Like father, like son! Such vicious hearts!"

Qin Wang looked at the first, second, and third pieces of intelligence, his eyes immediately turning fierce, killing intent surging.

He hadn't expected that Zhuo Qiuhang's family and Chen Kun would want to harm his neighbor Li Yunhai, Doctor Bai, and Bai Fenghuan!

This was simply too vicious!

Li Yunhai had once sent a bag of brown rice and fish when Qin Wang was in difficulty. In such difficult times, people who lend a helping hand are indeed rare and precious!

Bai Mingliang was even willing to vouch for Qin Wang when he was wrongly accused by Zheng Kecheng. This was a great kindness!

If they were harmed because of him, Qin Wang would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life!

He must deal with the Zhuo family as soon as possible!

"Jin Shifeng will come to look for the Three Corpse Gu King Jar?"

"After refining the remaining spirit stones on my body, I can advance to the second level of Qi Refinement stage!"

After reading the fourth and fifth pieces of intelligence, Qin Wang felt a sense of urgency. Jin Shifeng's cultivation was at least at the fourth level of Qi Refinement stage. When he comes to retrieve the Three Corpse Gu King Jar, Qin Wang must do his utmost to improve his cultivation and reach the middle stage of Qi Refinement as soon as possible!

Only then can he resist!

"Sister has been accepted as a personal disciple by Mu Qianxue, the leader of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect? It's being kept secret to prevent jealousy from other immortal sects?"

"Sister should be safe now, I can rest assured."

Qin Wang nodded quietly as he looked at the sixth and seventh pieces of intelligence.

"The entrance to Small Dan Mountain is at Elephant's Trunk in the Cloudy Mist Mountain Range?"

"After eliminating Chen Kun and the Zhuo family, I can go to Small Dan Mountain!"

Qin Wang looked at the intelligence, his eyes revealing anticipation.

"First, cultivate!!"

Qin Wang made up his mind, took out two spirit stones and held them, beginning to absorb spiritual energy and convert it into magical power.

On the way to the Immortal Ascension Platform.

He had already absorbed quite a few spirit stones intermittently. Qin Wang felt that he would probably break through to the second level of Qi Refinement stage in the next day or two.

That night.

Qin Wang took some time to go out and scattered a hundred pieces of intelligence in Longjing City.

[Yunzhou Governor Zhuo Qiuhang: Lasts only three breaths in bed, secretly despised by his wives and concubines. His favorite concubine Huang Ying has been having an affair with his eldest son Zhuo Yidao for many years. His youngest son Zhuo Yifei is actually his grandson.]

[Yunzhou Governor Zhuo Qiuhang is corrupt and takes bribes. He has hidden 30,000 taels of silver in his villa on the east road of Yunzhou. Zhuo Qiuhang secretly supports the Prince of Jin. Seeing that the Emperor's daughter Cang Yuyan has become a disciple of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect, he is wavering and preparing to hedge his bets.]

[Yunzhou Governor Zhuo Qiuhang has violated three women. Their remains are in the dry well of his villa on the east road of Yunzhou.]

After scattering a hundred pieces of intelligence in Longjing City, Qin Wang did not linger. He used his Flying Eagle Body Technique and headed straight for Yuntian Prefecture.

He knew clearly.

When the news reaches Yuntian Prefecture.

Zhuo Qiuhang's people will definitely seal off Longjing City and search for the person who posted the intelligence, delaying their journey to Qingniu Village to capture Doctor Bai, Li Yunhai, and others.

Moreover.

After the intelligence is exposed, Zhuo Qiuhang will definitely be in a mess. His facade of integrity will be shattered, his face completely lost, and he won't be able to please either the Prince of Jin or the Great Cang.

Chen Kun is looking for him everywhere. When he learns that intelligence has appeared in Longjing City, he will surely rush over to meet his death, saving Qin Wang the trouble of finding him.

At that time.

Once Qin Wang reaches the second level of Qi Refinement stage, he can easily deal with Chen Kun and then head to Small Dan Mountain.
