Raise a sword!

Before Jiang Peng could respond, Qian Laosi began to recount everything he knew.

"That group of people were not like ordinary cultivators who robbed people. They were not there to make money. They seemed to have other purposes... When they made their move, one of them mentioned taking people alive. It was because of this that Xiao Bao and I had some room to fight."

Qian Laosi's tone was calm, but his words sent a chill down Jiang Peng's spine.

"After I escaped by sheer luck, I made a special inquiry and learned that the group of thieves had been frequently making moves near the northern foothills recently. They were not simply robbing people of their wealth, but rather preferred to capture cultivators alive."

At this point, Qian Laosi took out a compass from his pocket.

This compass is a family heirloom of Qian Laosi, and when used in conjunction with his tracking magic, it can produce remarkable effects.

Jiang Peng had seen this compass before, in front of the cave where the Heavenly Crippled Daoist was sealed.

To Jiang Peng's surprise, Qian Laosi actually handed over the compass, which was tied to his life and fortune, directly to him.

Golden characters flashed before Jiang Peng's eyes.

[Fortune-Gazing Compass: Third-Tier Mid-Grade Magical Artifact, Incomplete, Fortune-Gazing, Tracking]

Jiang Peng was startled, never expecting that the family heirloom that Qian Laosi used every day was actually of the third rank.

It seems that this compass is not only as described by the golden inscriptions, but must also possess other extraordinary properties.

Otherwise, even a damaged third-tier magic weapon shouldn't be something that Qian Laosi, with his mere Qi Refining cultivation, could use.

As Jiang Peng pondered, another possibility came to mind.

Perhaps the bad luck of Qian Lao Si and even the ancestors of the Qian family was the price they paid for forcibly using this compass beyond their level.

"Brother Qian, this is your family heirloom, give it to me..."

Before Jiang Peng could finish speaking, Qian Laosi waved his hand to interrupt her.

"I, Qian Laosi, have spent my whole life collecting corpses for others, but I never imagined that the last time I would use my family's secret tracking technique, I would find the corpse of my own son."

Jiang Peng subconsciously looked at the coffin next to her.

Qian Laosi clearly noticed Jiang Peng's gaze, and he nodded slightly without any attempt to hide it.

"It's just an empty coffin. Those bandits didn't even spare my son's body... I'm such a useless father, I can't even collect the body of my own flesh and blood."

Qian Laosi maintained his calm tone, speaking as if it were a trivial matter unrelated to himself.

A sentence came to Jiang Peng's mind.

th.

At this moment, Qian Laosi is perhaps just like that.

Qian Laosi completely ignored Jiang Peng's concerned expression and continued, "The compass points to the location of my son's corpse. This method can prolong the illness for seven days."

He looked at Jiang Peng, then suddenly stood up, knelt down on both knees, and faced Jiang Peng.

Qian Laosi knelt down so quickly that by the time Jiang Peng reacted, he had already slammed his head heavily onto the ground.

"It's probably impossible for me to take revenge on my own. I earnestly hope that Brother Jiang will lend a hand and settle this matter for me."

Jiang Peng grabbed Qian Laosi's arm with one hand, trying to help him up.

With a little effort, I felt some resistance.

Jiang Peng then increased the force in her hands and forcibly pulled Qian Laosi up from the ground.

Seeing the bloodstains on Qian Laosi's forehead from kowtowing, Jiang Peng pondered for a moment before finally nodding gently.

"My nephew Xiaobao calls me Uncle, and we have a past master-disciple relationship. I have accepted that."

Upon hearing this, Qian Laosi showed little joy.

He glanced at Jiang Peng with gratitude, nodded slightly, and then sat back down beside the coffin, reverting to his previous absent-minded state.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Peng immediately got up and prepared to leave.

But when they reached the entrance of the mourning hall, Qian Laosi's voice came from behind them again.

"Brother Jiang."

Jiang Peng stopped in her tracks.

"Is there anything else?"

Qian Laosi looked up at Jiang Peng, his eyes trembling slightly.

"Do you think Xiao Bao's death was also because of my family's secret tracking technique? I've made a fortune off the dead my whole life, and everything's gone smoothly for me, but what about my innocent child..."

At this point, Qian Laosi seemed to remember something, his face filled with grief, and he let out two dry sobs, unable to utter another word.

Jiang Peng didn't offer any words of comfort, but simply stepped forward and gently patted Qian Laosi's shoulder before turning and walking out of the mourning hall.

...

Qian Laosi said it was seven days.

However, after Jiang Peng tried to activate the compass, he found that although the compass needle did indeed vaguely point in a certain direction, this power seemed to be unable to last for seven days.

After observing for a while, Jiang Peng confirmed her guess.

"Four days left."

Think about it too.

From Qian Laosi's escape to his return to Cangshan Market, to setting up the mourning hall, it was only then that Jiang Peng received the news.

Only three days have passed, which means Qian Laosi has already acted quite quickly.

"So if you want to avenge Qian Laosi, I only have four days left. Once that time is up, the compass will disappear, and finding him again will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Thinking of this, Jiang Peng dared not delay. He immediately returned to the sect to arrange the trivial matters in Biwu Peak and the Pill Hall, and then prepared to set off.

Thinking of this, Jiang Peng dared not delay. He immediately returned to the sect to arrange the trivial matters in Biwu Peak and the Pill Hall, and then prepared to set off.

He already had some guesses in his mind.

When Qian Laosi said that the murderer appeared to be a traitor but actually had a different identity, Jiang Peng immediately thought of the demonic cultivators who were already secretly operating in the Southern Mountain Region.

Beneath the surface of the current tranquility in the Southern Mountain Region, a catastrophe caused by demonic cultivators may have already quietly begun.

It took less than two hours to arrange the trivial matters.

Jiang Peng soon left the sect and followed the compass's guidance.

At first, he didn't pay attention to the direction the compass was pointing.

However, after walking for more than two hundred miles, Jiang Peng suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He was heading in the direction of the western side of the Drumming Mountains.

To be more precise.

That was the territory of the Chen family in the past, the once famous State of Chen.

Since the fall of the two Golden Core cultivators of the Chen family and the complete eradication of their bloodline by the Cangshan Sect, the Chen Kingdom, which was once a powerful force in the entire Southern Mountain Region, has now become a lawless land.

The spiritual energy in the Chen Kingdom is not abundant, making it difficult to attract the covetousness of Golden Core cultivators.

The Cangshan Sect, which is closest to the Chen Kingdom, is interested in getting involved in this area, but unfortunately, the Longshe Temple has already made it clear that the Cangshan Sect is not allowed to expand its influence into the Chen Kingdom's territory.

Therefore, the current situation in Chen State has become somewhat strange.

The Golden Core cultivators from outside either look down on this place or, out of respect for the Cangshan Sect, don't want to reap the benefits from it.

Therefore, now that there is no Golden Core cultivator suppressing the Chen Kingdom, the Foundation Establishment families below are dividing up their territories and vying for interests.

"Looking across the Southern Mountain Region, if there's anywhere demonic cultivators can best hide their identities, it's probably the Chen Kingdom now," Jiang Peng thought to himself, while simultaneously increasing his escape speed.

As dusk fell, Jiang Peng saw a brightly lit area in the forests surrounding the Diming Mountains.

"This is the third time I've been here, Heartless Valley."

He already had some guesses in his mind.

Read Chapter 208, "The Compass of Fortune," now to begin your exciting day.
