Chapter 379
"Master Xiao, what a coincidence."
Pan Xuelian quickly came to her senses.
"Master Xiao, are you also from the Xingyan Sect?"
In fact, Pan Xuelian wanted to say, "Master Xiao, your strength is countless times stronger than that of Chen Fan, the leader of the Xingyan Sect."
Xiao Zhan looked at Chen Fan and said, "Go and do your work. I'll talk to Shopkeeper Pan."
Chen Fan nodded, turned around and left directly.
When Pan Xuelian saw this scene, the confusion in her eyes deepened.
"Master Xiao, Chen Fan, the leader of the Xingyan Sect, is your subordinate?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "He is my little brother."
A look of "Sure enough" appeared in Pan Xuelian's eyes.
More than two years have passed, and she still has not forgotten what happened in Mingfeng City.
She would often think of Xiao Zhan's impressive team at that time.
After she returned to Zhongzhou, she also searched a lot of information, but found nothing.
It was as if that team appeared suddenly.
"I heard from Chen Fan that Shopkeeper Pan plans to build Wanbao Tower in Mobian City?"
Pan Xuelian nodded and chuckled: "Years ago, we from Wanbao Tower visited Mobian City and concluded that it was not suitable to build Wanbao Tower here because it was too poor and the people who came here were from the world. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a few true essence stones on my body.”
"But it's different now. After the emergence of Xingyan Sect, Mobian City has been transformed into such a prosperous city. It won't be long before there will be at least 500,000 permanent residents here, and the flow of people will also increase dramatically."
"According to my guess, at least it will not be worse than the former Mingfeng City."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Okay, I promise you on behalf of Chen Fan."
"The rent is also waived for Shopkeeper Pan."
Pan Xuelian suddenly laughed.
Without rent, she would have to pay tens of thousands of True Essence Stones a year.
This is not a small amount.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao."
As he spoke, a powerful breath suddenly came from far to near.
Xiao Zhan and Pan Xuelian turned around and saw a black shadow approaching quickly.
Seeing the person coming, Pan Xuelian was stunned for a moment, then she clasped her fists and said respectfully:
"Elder Qin."
It was Qin Long from Wanbao Tower who came, one of the twenty powerful Heavenly Mirror experts brought from Zhongzhou, Qin Qiong.
Tan Qiong is a thin, middle-aged man with an empty robe on his body, making him look frail.
But he is a real peak powerhouse in the Heavenly Mirror, at the same level as Xiao Zhan.
Tan Qiong glanced at Xiao Zhan, and then her eyes fell on Pan Xuelian:
"How is the progress of building Wanbao Tower here?"
Pan Xuelian said respectfully:
"It's settled."
"Elder Qin, this Young Master Xiao next to me is the representative sent by Chen Fan, the leader of Xingyan Sect. He is negotiating with me on the specific matters of establishing Wanbao Tower."
Tan Qiong said "Yeah" but didn't even look at Xiao Zhan.
After all, the Xingyan Sect was just a force that had just emerged a few years ago, and there were no strong men in charge.
As long as Wanbao Tower is willing, Xingyan Sect can be destroyed at any time.
And just a year ago, Qin Qiong personally went to Xingyan Sect to investigate the matter of the ancient dragon.
But there is no result from the investigation.
"Pan Xuelian, there is one more thing."
Qin Qiong frowned and said:
"Our port in Liangzhou was destroyed."
"Elder Qin Long has ordered that all Wanbaolou disciples in Liangzhou must assist in the investigation."
Pan Xuelian was stunned on the spot.
"How can this be?"
Qin Qiong frowned slightly, "I am not in the mood to joke with you."
"The other party didn't leave any clues."
"Have you noticed that there have been recent
Did this force suffer mass casualties? "
Pan Xuelian shook her head, her eyes full of doubts.
"If you dare to attack the port of our Wanbao Tower, then the opponent must not be a small force."
"And Elder Yuan Biao is stationed at the port. He is a strong man in the early stage of the God King Realm."
Qin Qiong snorted coldly:
"You don't need to remind me, you just need to investigate."
After saying that, Qin Qiong turned and left.
Pan Xuelian breathed a sigh of relief after Tan Qiong was no longer visible.
She frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised her head to look at Xiao Zhan.
"Master Xiao, can it be you?"
"Beside you, there is a powerful person at the peak of the God King Realm!"
"And the team you had back then, if they were caught by surprise, would definitely destroy our port."
"Those people, are they disciples of the Xingyan Sect?"
Xiao Zhan looked into Pan Xuelian's eyes and said slowly:
"Shop Manager Pan, you have been to Xingyan Sect recently. Have you seen Xingyan Sect disciples being injured on a large scale?"
Pan Xuelian shook her head. new
She stared at Xiao Zhan closely, but couldn't see anything strange.
After a long time, Pan Xuelian said:
"That port is extremely important, and the damage it caused to our Wanbao Tower is immeasurable."
"Even if Liangzhou is turned upside down, the results must be found."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Is Shopkeeper Pan hinting at me?"
Pan Xuelian said slowly:
"Mr. Xiao, Elder Qin Long, who is responsible for the investigation this time, is a strong man in the middle stage of the God King Realm."
"If he knew what happened in Mingfeng City more than two years ago, he would definitely doubt you, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "So, Shopkeeper Pan wants to tell him what happened two years ago and let him investigate me?"
Pan Xuelian shook her head.
"I can not."
Xiao Zhan said "Yeah", "It was indeed me who led the people to destroy your port."
Pan Xuelian's expression changed drastically when she heard Xiao Zhan admit it personally.
After a long time, she sighed, her eyes full of panic:
"Master Xiao, may I know the reason?"
Xiao Zhan looked calm, "They killed one of my brothers and almost tortured my other brother to death."
Pan Xuelian asked almost subconsciously:
"Just for one or two people?"
"If the truth is found out, you, those under your command, the Xingyan Sect, and everyone related to you will all die!"
"does it worth?"
Xiao Zhan did not answer, but asked:
"Shop Manager Pan, what if the person who was killed and tortured was your own biological sister?"
"Is it possible that you choose to turn a blind eye? Just because the other party is Wanbaolou?"
Pan Xuelian sighed:
"Mr. Xiao, I suddenly feel that getting to know you is the thing I regret most in my life."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Does your Wanbao Tower have regret medicine?"
Pan Xuelian smiled bitterly, "Are you sure you didn't leave any clues? I'm afraid of being implicated."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Shopkeeper Pan can just stay in Mobian City and do business with peace of mind. Don't worry about other things."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan turned around and left, returning to Xingyan Sect.
Ma Liang's injury has fully recovered. When he heard that Xiao Zhan was looking for him, he came to see Xiao Zhan as soon as possible.
Xiao Zhan took out the golden ring, frowned and asked:
"You got this ring at Bibo City's auction. Do you know who consigned this ring to the auction?"
Ma Liang shook his head, "I don't know."
"Palace Master, do you have any questions?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, his expression a little solemn:
"We have all overlooked a problem."
"Why can an ordinary ring be listed at auction?"
Ma Liang suddenly came to his senses, "Yes!"
"If this was really an ordinary ring, there would be no need to put it up for auction."
"But if the original owner of the ring knew the secret behind the ring, how could he sell it?"
Xiao Zhan's eyes darkened:
"Perhaps the other party is "fishing". "
"Whoever bids means that he knows the meaning of this ring, or is related to this ring."
"Lao Ma, if you think about it carefully, were you the only one bidding at that time?"
Ma Liang nodded immediately, "I am indeed the only one."
"Everyone else thinks this ring is a fake."
"Even the powerful man in the God King Realm of Wanbao Tower who was killed by you, the Palace Master, did not make an offer at the time. Instead, he waited until I left Bibo City before letting his men capture me."
Ma Liang's face darkened, "Now that I think about it, the God King from Wanbao Tower must have noticed something was wrong at the auction, so he didn't bid."
"And when his men came to arrest me, they also changed their clothes and covered their faces, so that no one would know that the people from Wanbao Tower had arrested me."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "If the people from Wanbao Tower hadn't captured you, I'm afraid you would have fallen into the hands of the original owner of the ring."
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"I want to go to Bibo City."
"Old Ma, don't show your face recently, just stay here in seclusion."
Ma Liang nodded heavily, with a flash of worry in his eyes:
"Palace Master, it's my fault that I'm not careful enough."
Xiao Zhan shook his head: "Brothers, don't say these things."
After a while, Xiao Zhan left Xingyan Sect, turned on his individual combat bracelet, called up the map of Liangzhou, found the location of Bibo City, and then hurried on his way.
For safety reasons, Xiao Zhan did not notify any members of the Temple of War to go to Bibo City to inquire about information.
Bibo City falls under the jurisdiction of the super power Fengyue Sect.
It was night when Xiao Zhan arrived.
Unlike other cities, Bibo City is also brightly lit at night.
Colorful lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, and the night was also dyed colorfully.
Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a sea of colorful lanterns.
People were coming and going on the streets.
Pedestrians were all smiling and looked peaceful.
Xiao Zhan walked down the street, his eyes scanning the shops on both sides, and then stood at the door of "Qingyao Inn".
A young woman, wearing a light gauze, holding an embroidered fan in her hand, was leaning against the door.
Seeing Xiao Zhan stop, she covered her face with a fan and smiled, "Sir, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
Xiao Zhan frowned.
He always felt that something was wrong with this Bibo City.
Xiao Zhan nodded and asked:
"How many true essence stones?"
"I don't want the True Essence Stone," the woman stared at Xiao Zhan with a smile, her eyes a little fiery:
"Young master, you will get ten true essence stones for every day you stay here."
Xiao Zhan frowned deeper:
"If you stay in an inn and you don't get a True Essence Stone, you still give me a True Essence Stone?"
The woman nodded, "Don't worry, young master. Handsome young masters don't need to give true essence stones to stay in the hotel. This is the rule set by Fengyue Sect, and true essence stones are also provided by Fengyue Sect."
Xiao Zhan looked strange.
Is it possible that there are too many True Essence Stones in Fengyue Sect to be used up?
Seeing the woman looking at him eagerly, Xiao Zhan turned around and left.
When encountering something unusual, it is best to avoid it first.
But Xiao Zhan asked several inns in succession and got the same answer.
Staying in the hotel does not cost True Essence Stones, but you can also get True Essence Stones.
But the rule is that you cannot leave Bibo City while staying in the hotel.
Xiao Zhan walked through several in a row
Street, finally chose a fairly normal place.
Gambling house!
To say it's normal, it's not particularly normal.
Gambling houses in other places are basically populated by men.
But here, half of them are women.
Not only that, these women are also accompanied by handsome male companions.
Xiao Zhan wants to leave.
But a tough-looking man with a stubble on his face blocked Xiao Zhan with a knife.
He smiled evilly, showing his yellow teeth, "After entering the door, either hold the True Essence Stone and leave, or leave after losing everything."
Xiao Zhan frowned: "What if I say no?"
The man laughed ferociously, "Anyone who says no will die."
"Looking at you like this, is it your first time in Bibo City?"
The big man chuckled lightly, "Let me remind you, the owner here is Sun Feifei, the elder of Fengyue Sect."
"Weigh it yourself."
Xiao Zhan's eyes turned cold.
When he came, he didn't ask Ma Liang about the situation in Bibo City.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan didn't say anything, the big man made two gestures in front of Xiao Zhan with his knife, "What are you doing standing still? Go in and find a seat and sit down. I wish you a fortune."
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"Then I'll lend you some good words!"
The big man sneered.
He knew at a glance that Xiao Zhan was not someone who often hung out in gambling houses.
Which one of these raw melons and eggs didn’t leave without losing anything?
