Hua Wanyun, standing beside, also felt her scalp tingle. She thought to herself.
"It’s said that the Sect Leader’s disciple is gifted, and now it seems that not only is she talented, but her thods are quite ruthless. That red light and the interrogation technique earlier are truly mind-boggling."
"Zhao Tianlang’s death wasn’t my doing, it was our boss’s."
The waiter was scared out of his wits, fearful that Di Shen might have other thods, so he confessed in a stuttering manner.
From his mouth, both Di Shen and Hua Wanyun learned that the eagle-eyed man from earlier was the waiter’s boss.
However, he never appeared before them with his true face. This group of people was recruited by him from different cities as Demon Hunters.
After recruiting them, he secretly controlled their families to threaten them into swearing allegiance to him.
They secretly called him "Blackhawk."
About a year ago, Zhao Tianlang arrived in Yann City. At that ti, he ca with a few others, and they stayed in that earlier inn.
"Blackhawk" ordered the waiter to use similar tactics to lure Zhao Tianlang into the wilderness outside Yann City in the dead of night.
"I was just a guide at the ti, and watched from afar as Zhao Tianlang and his companions were led into the beast herd. Afterwards, I hid far away. I never found Zhao Tianlang’s corpse, only his Spiritual Artifact Fragnt. But the night after Zhao Tianlang died, soone snuck into his room and stole his belongings."
"Do you know why Zhao Tianlang ca to Yann City? And who was traveling with him?"
Hua Wanyun pressed on.
"I don’t know. The registered na at the ti was only Zhao Tianlang." The waiter said, eyes flickering.
"It seems the tortures earlier weren’t harsh enough."
Di Shen’s expression darkened.
"No, no, master, I..." The waiter swallowed, "Actually, actually, one day I overheard Zhao Tianlang and his companion while delivering hot water. At that ti, he said, ’Mu Bai, as long as we find the Taixu Tomb Realm, we can make a na for ourselves in Ancient Nine Provinces in the future.’"
"Mu Bai! Yue Mubai! So it was him, I knew Tianlang was with him then. What else did he say?"
Hua Wanyun listened, her expression excited.
Since Ye Lingyue inford Elder Hua and his siblings about the suspicion surrounding Zhao Tianlang’s death, Hua Wanyun suspected an insider, and had even suspected Yue Mubai, but lacked concrete evidence.
"That’s it, truly, I’m just a runner, really know nothing else." The waiter shook his head vigorously.
With his exposure, his family was sure to die, those words of Zhao Tianlang, he hadn’t even told "Blackhawk."
"Senior Sister Wan Yun, what is the Taixu Tomb Realm?"
Di Shen asked.
"I’ve never heard of this place. From Tianlang’s tone, it sounds like so treasure land. That child has always loved to compete and strived to make a na for Lonely Moon Sea. This ti, I fear he fell into soone’s trap because of this. I have to find Yue Mubai and confront him, to find out about Tianlang’s death and what Taixu Tomb Realm really is."
Hua Wanyun sighed deeply.
"No, Senior Sister Wan Yun, think again. This might be treacherous. Blackhawk and co have been loitering locally, they seem to be searching for Taixu Tomb Realm too. Zhao Tianlang fell into their trap, and the people with him have unclear identities. Currently, the only lead we have is Yue Mubai. Maybe we shouldn’t startle him into fleeing. Think, if you were Yue Mubai, what would you do?"
Di Shen’s words reminded Hua Wanyun.
"Indeed, if I were Yue Mubai, I would stay away from Yann City at this point, and then hide far away, until Taixu Tomb Realm was found."
Hua Wanyun suddenly realized.
In fact, although Blackhawk’s gang designed the plan to kill Zhao Tianlang, they didn’t obtain the location of the Taixu Tomb Realm from him.
They searched Zhao Tianlang’s room but found nothing. So they have continued searching locally for Zhao Tianlang’s corpse but still have no clues.
"For now, we need to bring this person along to find Zhao Tianlang’s whereabouts, or we should find his wife first. After all, the Sky Wolf Stick is still in her hands."
Di Shen’s suggestion was quickly endorsed by Hua Wanyun, who imdiately decided to head to Huangquan City with Di Shen to et up with Ye Lingyue and others. Perhaps the Sky Wolf Stick in Ye Lingyue’s hands could provide new clues.
However, unfortunately, a day later, when Di Shen and Hua Wanyun arrived in Huangquan City, they were inford that Ye Lingyue had left Huangquan City more than a day ago and headed to the Qiulin Ruins.
"Who are you?"
At Huangquan City’s reporting office, the Old City Lord looked up and down at the pair before him.
Especially Di Shen, who had removed his bamboo hat, revealing his true face, causing the Old City Lord’s eyes to blur.
Earlier, upon seeing the Heroic Society’s leader Bo Qing, the Old City Lord lanted that nowadays, being a Demon Hunter requires more than strength, a good appearance is necessary as well.
But compared with the person before him, whose aura is stronger, Bo Qing seed to have fallen short, appearing sowhat too delicate.
"I am Di Shen, Ling Yue is my wife."
Di Shen spoke clearly and forcefully, declaring ownership as if afraid the world wouldn’t know.
"Your wife?! But Bo Qing said Miss Yue hasn’t married yet, the revolution is yet to succeed, he still has to work hard?"
The Old City Lord blurted out.
Instantly, the surrounding temperature dropped a few degrees, the Old City Lord felt goosebumps rise all over.
Di Shen’s eyes coldly stared at the Old City Lord, scaring him enough to feel pain pulsating in his temples.
"The Bo Qing you’re speaking of, is he the guy who treated Ye Lingyue earlier?"
Di Shen’s lips pressed tightly together, sulking openly, so transparent was his jealousy.
"Ahem, it should be him. Hey, I say big guy, where are you going?"
The Old City Lord barely finished speaking when Di Shen turned and left without a word.
That damned Bo Qing had said earlier he would just take care of his wife, but instead, he directly took the person away.
"To the Qiulin Ruins."
"Wait, Little Brother Di Shen..."
Hua Wanyun was speechless. The problem was she didn’t even know where the Qiulin Ruins were.
Hua Wanyun hurriedly asked the Old City Lord for the general direction to the Qiulin Ruins, and when she left Huangquan City to chase after Di Shen, she found no trace of him.
Hua Wanyun had no choice but to rush to the direction of the Qiulin Ruins imdiately, fearing she’d arrive too late and Di Shen would already be engaging with soone, sotis young people are just too impulsive.
