Chapter 235: Fire Dragon Burns the Warehouse
"Oh no!"

"Oh no, Master, something happened!"

Accompanied by an exclamation, the butler hurried to the top floor.

On the top floor, Zou Cifeng was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

After waiting all night, he was already getting impatient.

At this moment, he heard the housekeeper yelling and said angrily:
"What's up!"

"Didn't I tell you to guard the villa? What are you doing here?"

The butler fell to his knees with a thud, his face filled with fear, his body trembling violently.

He looked at Zou Cifeng, wanting to say something but stopping himself several times.

Obviously he was afraid that he would not be able to face Zou Cifeng's anger after telling the truth.

Seeing this, Zou Cifeng raised his eyebrows:
"Say!"

The housekeeper trembled all over and could only cry out:
"Master, last night, the demon in the wind actually sneaked into the villa and..."

Having said that, the butler didn't dare to say any more.

Zou Cifeng's heart was beating wildly, and he seemed to have a bad premonition.

"explain!!!"

He couldn't help but roar, and his powerful momentum swept across the entire audience.

Even the countless warriors outside the tower were instantly shocked by this momentum, their faces turning pale and sweating on their foreheads.

The housekeeper then cried and said:

"And that evil thief somehow discovered a secret room beneath the well in the villa."

"That secret room, but even we don't know about it."

"That evil thief, the Wind Demon, actually found his way inside and plundered the secret room!"

The secret room under the well in Xiafei Villa is unknown to anyone in the entire villa except Zou Cifeng.

Until last night, there was a strong wind in the villa, and the sound of bombardment was heard from the well.

By the time the housekeeper and his men arrived, the strong wind had already gone away.

When the housekeeper bravely went down to the well, he found that there was a big hole in the stone wall of the well, and there was a secret room behind the hole.

This scene not only puzzled the housekeeper, but also the other people in the villa, including Zou Cifeng's biological son, had no idea that there was such a secret room in Xiafei Villa?
The butler seemed to understand something, and he immediately rushed to Dongzhou City to report to Zou Cifeng.

"What?!!!"

Zou Cifeng stood up in an instant, his eyes wide open.

He knew it better than anyone else, because the real treasure of Xiafei Villa was stored in that secret room!
Soul jade! ! !

That is a treasure passed down from our ancestors!
"Are you sure...it's been completely looted?"

"Is the thing on the stone platform in the secret room still there?"

Zou Cifeng asked in a trembling voice.

He still held on to a last glimmer of hope in his heart.

The butler was now shaking like a sieve.

Facing Zou Cifeng's expectant gaze, he could only shake his head helplessly:
"There's nothing on the stone platform..."

When Zou Cifeng heard this, he froze completely as if he had been struck by lightning.

The last fantasy is completely shattered!
His heirloom was actually stolen!

He took a fake soul jade here, intending to lure the snake out of its hole.

But who knew that the devil in the wind would take the opportunity to raid his house and steal his true soul jade!
"puff!!!"

Zou Cifeng was so angry that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, he almost went crazy.

"The owner of the village!"

The housekeeper was shocked when he saw this and hurried forward to help.

Zou Cifeng suddenly raised his palm and was about to hit the butler on the head:
"waste!!!!"

The butler was so frightened that he closed his eyes and prepared himself to die.

But in the end, Zou Cifeng's hand still did not fall.

He slammed his palm hard on the ground.

"Bang!!!"

Spider-web-like cracks instantly appeared on the ground, and the stone slabs shattered!
If Zou Cifeng had not restrained his strength in time, the entire tower would have been collapsed by his palm.

Zou Cifeng's face was pale, and he said weakly:
"Immediately... give the order! Wulin Hunting Order!"

"Whoever can kill the demon in the wind, I can fulfill any request he makes!"

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this:
"Master, the Wind Demon is a second-rank warrior. We... can't afford to offend him!"

Upon hearing this, Zou Cifeng was so anxious that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

The second-rank warrior said this himself.

But now, even his subordinates are afraid of his lie.

Can't be bothered?
He is a dignified third-rank warrior, how could he not afford to offend that guy who has nothing but lightness skills?

"Second-grade shit!"

"That guy's realm is far below mine, he's totally insignificant!"

"I'm announcing this to the martial arts world. No matter who it is, as long as they can capture the Wind Demon alive and bring it to me, I will teach them a ground-level martial art!"

At this time, Zou Cifeng no longer cared about the face he had lost in the light Kung Fu competition.

In his heart, there is only the soul jade passed down by his ancestors!

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this.

Of course he knew about that earth-level martial art, which was the martial art handed down from generation to generation in Xiafei Villa!

This made the butler want to speak up and give some advice.

But when he met Zou Cifeng's murderous gaze, he didn't dare to say another word and fled from the tower in a hurry.

After he left, Zou Cifeng couldn't help but roar again:
"what!!!!"

"Asshole!!!"

"I, Zou Cifeng, swear to cut you into pieces and scatter your bones to ashes!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

His wild roars and angry shouts could be heard outside the tower, making the eardrums of the warriors outside buzz.

Everyone looked horrified, wondering what had happened to this usually steady and composed number one master in Dongzhou?
For a moment, the entire Dongzhou City could not help but speculate.

the other side.

Liang Jin was already riding his horse leisurely on the official road.

He sat on horseback, playing with a palm-sized piece of blue jade carved into the shape of a shield.

This piece of jade was exactly what Liang Jin got from Xiafei Villa last night.

"Is this the Soul Jade?"

"It's really strange!"

Liang Jin could feel that there was an internal force slowly surging within this blue soul jade.

He had always believed that the human body was the only part of the world that could store internal energy.

Even if there are powerful warriors who can release their internal energy to kill the enemy, the internal energy released from the body cannot exist in the world for a long time and will soon dissipate on its own.

However, the soul jade in his hand was actually able to store internal energy like the human body without overflowing and dissipating.

That's peculiar enough.

"It is said that soul jade also has different levels, white, blue, purple and gold."

"This blue soul jade is not the worst."

"But...how do I use this thing?"

Liang Jin got the Soul Jade, but he didn't know how to use it.

Although he had heard an old man in Dongzhou say that one could use the soul jade as long as it was crushed.

But the old man who said this had never seen the Soul Jade himself, he just heard about it from others.

Especially since the soul jade is extremely precious, Liang Jin only has one piece, so he naturally would not use it for experiments easily.

"Never mind, let's talk about it when we get back to Hualong Island."

"The elders of Hualongmen are very knowledgeable. Maybe they also have soul jades hidden in their private collection."

"I'll go ask them and I'm sure I'll be able to learn the correct way to use it."

Liang Jin immediately put away the soul jade.

Now that he had the Soul Jade in his hand, Liang Jin knew without a doubt that Zou Cifeng must be furious and wanted to hunt him down all over the world.

As long as Liang Jin didn't use "Bu Feng Zu Ying" on a large scale, he believed that Zou Cifeng would not be able to find him.

soon.

Liang Jin rode his horse to an intersection.

There are two roads ahead, one leads to Bibo City, which is Hualongmen’s important base outside the island.

The other road leads to Chaoyin Wu Pavilion.

Liang Jin pulled the reins, hesitating slightly about which way to go.

From Liang Qizi, Liang Jin has confirmed many of his speculations.

Although Liang Qizi did not say it directly.

But as an experienced investigator, he also implicitly expressed his speculation.

This speculation is consistent with Liang Jin's speculation.

Combined with the two pieces of information Liang Jin obtained, he had a general idea of ​​what had happened.

A piece of information came in that Wang Xu, the steward of Hualongmen's overseas medicinal materials procurement, was unable to conceal his corruption, and he planned to do something big to settle the account before being exposed.

Another piece of information is that the purple mushroom hearts used by Baihuatang to refine the Dragon Scale Pill are about to run out.

The matters mentioned in the second piece of information were related to the cultivation improvement and welfare benefits of the middle and low-level disciples of Hualongmen, and should have been reported to the main hall long ago.

But strangely, there was no movement in this matter.

"Maybe I should put myself in Wang Xu's shoes and think about it."

"So what should I do to prevent this matter from being exposed, or even if it is exposed, I will not be held responsible?"

Liang Jin thought about it for a moment and had the answer in his mind - the fire dragon burned the warehouse!
The fire dragon burning the warehouse is a very rough way to settle accounts.

In ancient times, officials embezzled grain from their granaries, leaving them severely depleted. At a critical moment before facing inspection from above, a devastating fire suddenly erupted, destroying the granary and the evidence. Witnesses at the scene testified to seeing a fiery dragon descend from the sky and dance wildly through the granary, ultimately destroying it.

Since the granary was burned down, it was naturally impossible to further investigate the deficit.

If the purchasing steward Wang Xu saw that his corruption was about to be exposed, he would probably do something similar out of desperation.

However, Wang Xu most likely chose Chaoyin Wuge to act as this "fire dragon".

Therefore, according to the intelligence of the Six Gates, it was the Hualong Gate that took the initiative to attack the Chaoyin Martial Arts Pavilion, and claimed that the Chaoyin Martial Arts Pavilion had robbed them of many precious medicinal materials.

The disciples of Chaoyin Martial Arts Pavilion described a similar situation.

In this way, the shortage of medicinal materials can be completely attributed to the plundering by Chaoyin Wuge.

"The story of the fire dragon is so bizarre and supernatural that it is impossible to verify it."

"But the people in Chaoyin Wu Pavilion are all living people, and can be tracked down."

"That's why Wang Xu portrayed himself as a victim in his report to Hualong Sect, and used the heavy casualties among the sect's disciples to cause a stir within Hualong Sect."

"We can seize upon the fact that Hualongmen is eager to interfere in the Dongzhou martial arts world and urgently needs to establish its authority. We can have Hualongmen send out experts to brutally suppress Chaoyin Wu Pavilion and slaughter all of them."

"In this way, there will be no evidence against him."

After Liang Jin figured it out, he smiled slightly.

This Wang Xu is quite calculating.

Unfortunately, he had not anticipated that, because of Li Xueqing's deliberate targeting, Hualongmen only sent Liang Jin, who was only at the fifth level at the time, to resolve the situation.

Liang Jin seems to be lacking in military force, so he will most likely choose to negotiate first.

In this case, Wang Xu’s affairs might be exposed.

"If I were Wang Xu, then my next step would definitely be to kill the witness in advance."

"But Wang Xu is only at the fifth rank. It's difficult for him to wipe out the entire Chaoyin Martial Pavilion by himself."

"Unless... he has helpers! And powerful helpers at that!"

Liang Jin also remembered that the intelligence about Wang Xu did mention Wang Xu's accomplices.

Liang Jin no longer hesitated and rode his horse towards Chaoyin Martial Arts Pavilion.

This time he did not come to uphold justice, but to make a contribution.

If you want to achieve merit, you must be able to convince everyone.

Now, we just need to go to Chaoyin Martial Arts Pavilion to find out and get the evidence.
