Outside the main entrance of Fang Mansion, a thin monk wearing half-revealed cassock stood among the crowd, calmly staring at the gate of Fang Mansion.
As soon as Liu Xuan walked out of Fang Mansion, he looked at this exotic monk with a unique temperament.
Liu Xuan frowned and saw the monk staring closely at Fang Mansion. He immediately understood that this man was also here to investigate the strange phenomena of yesterday.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly walked up to the monk.
"Master, what do you want here?"
The monk in front of me was Putuo, a Siamese monk who had just returned from Wuling Mountain.
When Liu Xuan saw him in the city lord's mansion that day, he felt that this person was extraordinary. Later, he specially sent someone to investigate the monk's background. The result really shocked him. Unexpectedly, this monk turned out to be the master of the two brothers Luo Zhan!
"This benefactor, who are you?"
Putuo didn't know the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, but this person gave him a feeling of familiarity.
Liu Xuan gave a friendly salute to the monk.
"Liu Xuan, I had an encounter with the master outside the city lord's palace that day."
Putuo instantly remembered that he had indeed seen this young man outside the city lord's palace. At that time, he realized that this man had deep inner strength and had reached the level of true martial arts. At such a young age, he has the strength of the True Martial Realm, which is quite rare in Nanfeng City.
"It turns out to be Donor Liu, what can I do?"
"Forgive me for being rude, I only found out the master's identity from Lord Jiang City later."
Putuo frowned: "Donor, do you know my two disciples?"
"Don't dare to lie. This junior has a lot of contact with the two Commander Luo on weekdays. It can be regarded as a close relationship."
"It turns out he is my disciple's friend."
"I wonder how the two Commanders Luo are doing lately? Speaking of which, Liu hasn't seen the two Commanders Luo for many days."
After hearing Liu Xuan's words, the monk's face showed a sad look.
"My two disciples were brutally murdered by traitors."
"What? Dead?!" Liu Xuan was originally curious. He hadn't seen the two of them these days, but he didn't expect that they were killed!
Nowadays, there are rumors in the city that there is a secret treasure under Shenglong Peak. Previously, these two men led troops and were stationed under Shenglong Peak. It is probably that some master had a conflict with the Luo brothers in order to seize the treasure.
It's just that Liu Xuan didn't expect that with the Luo family brothers' cultivation, they would be killed. So what kind of strength should this murderer have?
"My condolences, Master. I didn't know beforehand that the two Commander Luo had been killed."
Liu Xuan was worried that his words would offend the monk, so he apologized quickly.
"It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with you at this time." Putuo disagreed, "It is a blessing for my two disciples to have friends like Donor Liu who care about them."
Putuo was very powerful, and Liu Xuan wanted to make friends with him, but this was not the place to talk right now.
At this time, a smoke from a cooking stove came into his eyes. It was almost noon. His heart moved slightly and he immediately sent an invitation to the monk.
"Master, it's noon now, and the restaurant I run is nearby. I wonder if I can have a meal with you, Master?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but the poor monk has important matters to investigate, so I won't bother Donor Liu."
Seeing that the other party was somewhat reluctant, Liu Xuan changed his mind.
"If the master wants to investigate the cause of death of the two Commander Luo, Liu has some connections in Nanfeng, and he may be able to do his best for the master. However, there are many people here, and it is not convenient to elaborate on some things here. You Why don't you follow me to a quiet place to talk in detail?"
Liu Xuan's words reminded Putuo that he was not familiar with the place in Nanfeng. I am afraid that relying on his own strength alone would be a drop in the bucket. It would also be a good idea to rely on local forces.
"In that case, I'll ask Donor Liu to lead the way." Putuo nodded and agreed to Liu Xuan's arrangement.
Liu Xuan gave the servant a wink, and soon a carriage drove up in front of the two of them.
"Master, please get in the car."
After the monk sat down, Liu Xuan told the driver: "Go to Wangxian Tower!"
Soon, the carriage carried the two of them to Wangxian Tower located on the bank of Tianxin Lake.
The two stepped out of the carriage and looked at the extraordinary tower in front of them. The monk was quite surprised.
"Is this restaurant the property of Donor Liu?"
"This restaurant was founded by my father during his lifetime. I just inherited my father's property."
The monk said: "Donor Liu is too modest. Who doesn't know Nanfeng Wangxian?"
"Master, thank you for the award. It seems that master has already known me, Wangxian Tower."
"I just happened to hear someone mention it."
While the two were talking, a slightly stout man quickly walked out of the door. It was Feng Jin, the manager of Wangxian Tower.
As soon as Liu Xuan's carriage arrived, Feng Jin got the news and immediately came out to greet it.
He bowed his head to Liu Xuan respectfully and saluted.
"Master, why are you here today?"
"Go to the private room on the ninth floor and prepare some vegetarian dishes and the finest Jade Dew tea. Today I will host a banquet for Master!"
"Yes, I will ask someone to take care of it now!" Liu Xuan ordered Feng Jin without any hesitation.
Then, Liu Xuan turned his head and extended his hand to invite Putuo.
"Master, let's go in."
Feng Jin led the two of them into the Qingyun Ladder and arrived at the private room on the ninth floor of Wangxian Tower.
During the dinner, Putuo discussed the murder of the Luo brothers with Liu Xuan in detail, and told Liu Xuan everything he knew, including the investigation in the underground labyrinth under Shenglong Peak these days.
Through Putuo's narration, Liu Xuan finally understood that there was such a mysterious maze and blood pool hidden under Shenglong Peak.
Recalling Putuo's thoughtful appearance in front of Fang Mansion just now, Liu Xuan asked curiously.
"By the way, what was the reason why Master was wandering in front of Fang Mansion just now?"
"Donor Liu, did you see the vision of heaven and earth that happened in the city yesterday?"
"Yesterday's vision changed the color of heaven and earth. This junior naturally saw it." Liu Xuan was certain in his heart. Sure enough, Putuo also came because of the vision of heaven and earth.
"When such a large-scale heaven and earth phenomenon occurred during the breakthrough, this person's cultivation level is very likely to be above the Xuanwu realm. With such a powerful person appearing in the city, the poor monk naturally wanted to find out. And according to the information I obtained, yesterday's abnormality The change seems to have appeared from the Fang Mansion. Just now I was looking for a chance to go in and investigate, but unfortunately I met Donor Liu coming out of the Fang Mansion."
"Yesterday's change did indeed happen in Fang's mansion."
"Donor Liu is so sure, does he know the inside story?"
Liu Xuan thought for a moment and then told the news he just heard.
"This junior came to the Fang Mansion today to investigate this matter. According to my investigation, the person who caused this change is none other than Fang Chen, the eldest son of the Fang family."
"Fang Chen?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, the monk was a little confused. He had never known Fang Chen before.
"Master comes from a foreign country, so it's normal not to know Fang Chen's name, but ten years ago, Fang Chen's name would have been known to everyone in Nanfeng City."
Putuo also had a curious look on his face.
"Oh, how could this person be so famous? I wonder if Donor Liu can reveal the origin of Mr. Fang Chen?"
"Fang Chen is the eldest son of Fang Hong, the head of the Fang family. He is now twenty-nine years old. He has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child. He is extremely talented and has defeated strong men at the peak of true martial arts. His strength is unfathomable."
"What, can defeat the pinnacle of Zhenwu!"
Putuo's expression changed, a sharp light burst out of his eyes, and then he snorted coldly.
"Hmph! There is such a number one person in Nanfeng City. It seems that Jiang Xing is also hiding something from me!"
It was midsummer now, and seeing Putuo's appearance, Liu Xuan couldn't help but feel the slightest chill.
"It may not be that City Master Jiang intends to hide it. Fang Chen is now a disciple of the top sect in the country, the 'Jade Dragon Sect'. He has been practicing in the sect for these years and only recently returned to the Fang family. Maybe City Master Jiang does not know."
"I hope it's as you said." Obviously, Putuo already had doubts about Jiang Xing.
"According to my understanding of the Fang family, I am afraid that the only powerful person who can cause such a change in the world is Fang Chen. And I just learned from the head of the Fang family that Fang Chen is still in retreat at this time. It is basically certain that this change is caused by Caused by Fang Chen’s breakthrough.”
After listening to Liu Xuan's narration, Putuo's expression condensed.
"Donor Liu, do you know when exactly Fang Chen will come back? Has he been to Wuling Mountain?"
"It seems that Fang Chen came back just in the past few days. As for whether he has been to Wuling Mountain, I really don't know."
"Are you sure he just came back these days?" Putuo continued to ask.
"This should be correct. He did just come back. Many people from the Fang family saw him at that time."
"Hmph, is that really the case?"
"Master, what do you mean?"
Putuo asked this, and Liu Xuan also saw that the other party obviously suspected that the death of the Luo brothers was related to Fang Chen.
Liu Xuan was secretly happy. It was best for Putuo to think so. Maybe he could help him find some 'evidence'.
"By the way, Master, since Fang Chen's strength is very likely to be above the Xuanwu Realm, if Master wants to investigate the Fang family, he will inevitably conflict with this person. Master, do you think this matter..."
Putuo snorted coldly, not taking Fang Chen seriously at all.
"Hmph! It's just a junior in the Xuanwu Realm, let alone conflict with him. If this person really kills my two disciples, I will definitely make him pay with blood!"
Sure enough, Putuo's answer confirmed Liu Xuan's suspicion.
"The master is so confident when facing the strong Xuanwu realm. I wonder what the master's realm is?"
Putuo frowned, but still spoke calmly.
"Yuanwu, peak..."
"What?!"
Although Liu Xuan had already seen that this Siamese monk was extraordinary in strength, he did not expect that the monk had reached the peak of the Yuanwu Realm. This kind of strength is enough to dominate the entire Tianyun Kingdom, let alone Nanfeng City.
You must know that in martial arts training, the higher the level, the more terrifying the strength. At the same time, it is more difficult to cultivate and grow. Each level requires at least ten years of hard work to break through, so the number of high-level warriors is extremely rare.
I am afraid that all the powerful people above the Zhenwu realm in the entire Nanfeng City can be counted on one hand.
For a long time, the two big mountains weighing on Liu Xuan's heart were Fang Chen and his family.
His father died because of Fang Chen, but he was afraid of Fang Chen's strength and could not avenge his father. Even in order for the family to gain a foothold in Nanfeng City, he went out of his way to make friends with the Fang family and tried every means to please the Fang family.
Over the years, Liu Xuan has been thinking about revenge all the time, but he also knows that the word revenge is just a luxury for him.
But now, he finally had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he found someone powerful enough to rely on.
Restraining his inner excitement, Liu Xuan continued speaking without showing any emotion.
"In this case, this junior has no worries and will do his best to help the master find clues to the murder of his disciple."
"Then I'll bother Donor Liu!"
While the two were talking, shopkeeper Feng quietly walked into the room again, whispered a few words in Liu Xuan's ear and left the private room.
Seeing this situation, Putuo also understood the situation very well, so he stood up and clasped his hands together.
"Well, thank you for the hospitality today, Donor Liu. The poor monk is staying at the Tai'an Inn in the city. If Donor Liu needs help from the poor monk, just come and find me there."
"Then I'll thank you, Master. If you want to have a meal in the future, you can come to my restaurant without charge. In addition, I live in Liu Mansion in the western suburbs of the city. You are welcome to visit me at any time."
"Thank you very much, Donor Liu, for your kindness. I will definitely pay you a visit someday."
"Okay, Master, please go slowly. I still have some things to deal with, so I will send you off not far away."
After sending the monk away, Shopkeeper Feng came to Liu Xuan again.
Liu Xuan stared at the direction where the monk disappeared and said indifferently: "Is that person still there?"
"Still."
"Take me to see it."
"yes!"
