ale as death.Zhang Liyang pressed his advantage, striking with both palms like lightning. In the blink of an eye, three palms slammed into the opponent's chest. This time, Zhang Liyang used the Burnin..."Demon woman!"

Back in his room, Zhang Liyang changed into a new set of clothes. As he looked at the bloodstains on his discarded garments, his eyes twitched violently.

How could he not have thought of it, Xiao Xiao actually dared to such an extent, "Damn it, just because I'm a eunuch doesn't mean you don't treat me as a man!"

In his mind, Zhang Liyang seemed to still hear the arrogant and gleeful laughter echoing behind him as he fled in desperation.

"Meeting you, I've got bad luck!"

Zhang Liyang also realized now that he should appear in front of Xiao Xiao more often, so that every time they met, he wouldn't be the one left at a disadvantage in the end.

For several consecutive days, Zhang Liyang avoided Xiao Xiao until Yuan Li brought Zhang Liyang some bad news.

“What Someone went missing at the farm”

"Yes."

When did they go missing

"This afternoon," Yuan Li's forehead was slightly beaded with sweat, "This afternoon during training we found that two girls didn't show up. We sent people to their homes to look for them, but they weren't home."

"I remembered what the adults had instructed me a few days ago, so I came to report it immediately after hearing about this."

Knowing the gravity of the situation, Zhang Liyang wasted no time and immediately left Xue Lin Manor with Yuan Li. However, before leaving, Zhang Liyang still pulled Xiao Xiao out.

Seeing Zhang Liyang's current state of mind, Xiao Xiao wisely didn't approach to provoke him. She just silently followed behind Zhang Liyang and Yuan Li.

"Were they missing on the road between the schoolhouse and the farm"

"Yes!"

"Have you found the Zhang brothers"

"I've looked, I've had them search the city."

"Okay." Zhang Liyang nodded. "Then let's go look outside the city."

"Should we move the brothers from the main camp over here"

"No." Zhang Liyang waved his hand, rejecting Yuanli's suggestion. "Let them step up guarding those people so they won't fall victim to the ploy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain."

"Do you think it could be that evil cultivator you mentioned"

"It's possible." Xiao Xiao's face turned solemn after hearing what had happened.

Although I was injured that night, he wasn't doing well either. Although his injuries were much lighter than mine, he needed to recover quickly and had to use extreme measures.

Xiao Xiao could recover so quickly because Mu Yinghua had gifted her some imperial secret medicines at the time, while that evil cultivator probably didn't have such luck.

Just as Xiao Xiao said, if you want to recover quickly, you must use extraordinary means. What are extraordinary means That's the extraordinary means of the demon cultivator!

Along the way, recalling Xiao Xiao's description of the demonic cultivators' modus operandi, Zhang Liyang's face grew grim. He knew what those he had cultivated were like and why they would attract the attention of demonic cultivators.

Nutritious and filling meals, combined with the careful training at the Stone Camp, may not have been for long, but for those children who are growing up day by day, it was a tremendous change.

This kind of change is not only physical, but also spiritual!

Being full of qi and blood, energetic, and still a child, this was practically a priceless tonic in the eyes of those evil cultivators.

"Can you find him"

"I haven't either." XiaoXiao shook her head.

"Who was that person"

Having reached this point, Xiao Xiao had nothing left to hide and directly uttered that person's name.

"Qing Shi Dao Ren"

"What, don't believe me"

Zhang Liyang stared intently at Xiao Xiao, took a deep breath, and said, "Believe it!"

"Yuanli, do you have any information about Qing Shi Dao Ren's whereabouts"

"Sir, no." Yuan Li shook his head. "We only know he lives outside the city and is difficult to track down."

Where is Hui Xin

"This is known, he's currently at an inn within the city."

"Come on, let's find him!"

Zhang Liyang's intelligence network in Feilong City had just been established, and many people inside were just ordinary gambling house waiters, tavern waitresses, and courtesans.

I heard they are good at what they do, but it would be impossible to track them.

Huishi is a rising star in the martial arts world, and many people know where he lives, so Zhang Liyang found him easily.

"Amitabha, what brings you to me, donor"

Without any hesitation, Zhang Liyang went straight to the point. "Do you know where Qing Shi Dao Ren is"

"Master, what is this for"

"I suspect he's a demon cultivator, and today two girls in Feilong City have suddenly gone missing!"

"Are you sure it was Daoist Qing Shi who did this"

Staring at Huixin, Zhang Liyang took a step forward, closing the distance between them to just a foot. "What if" he said, his voice low and intense. "That would be two lives, innocent lives lost!!"

Can your compassionate heart bear it

Hui Xin remained silent for a moment before speaking, "He lives in a Taoist temple outside the city. I can tell you the address, but you have to come with me."

Okay, I can do that.

There's no harm in that. If it's not really the Qing Shi Dao person, I can just apologize. Right now, Zhang Liyang's priority is to find that evil cultivator.

Yuan Li, with his sharp eyes, had already led out several swift horses. He took the reins from Zhang Liyang and said, "You don't need to follow me. Stay within the city. If you discover any information about the enemy, just dispatch troops over here without needing to consult me!"

Yes, master!

Drive~. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Within Flying Dragon City, it was forbidden to ride horses, unless there was an urgent military matter. This was the decree issued by Mu Yinghua at the time, but right now Zhang Liyang didn't care much about that. He went straight out of the city with Xiao Xiao and Hui Xin.

The Taoist temple is not far from Flying Dragon City, but it is more serene and peaceful.

If it wasn't for Hui Xin leading the way, Zhang Liyang himself would have had a hard time knowing that there was actually a Taoist temple here in this deserted area.

"This is the place, Jin Yu Dao Guan."

Before an ordinary Taoist temple, Zhang Liyang and his two companions dismounted their horses. After just a brief glance, they quickly strode towards the interior of the temple.

No sooner had the three of them stepped into the Taoist temple than a figure walked out from within. This person was none other than Qing Shi Daochang.

"Master Huixin, how did you get here" Seeing Huixin approach, Qing Shi Dao Ren looked surprised. He then glanced at Zhang Liyang and Xiao Xiao beside Huixin, "What is this"

"Amitabha Buddha, Zhang the donor said that two women have gone missing in Flying Dragon City and wanted to investigate."

"An investigation You came here to investigate" Qing Shi Dao Ren looked at Zhang Li Yang with a rather unpleasant expression. "This must be Mr. Zhang, right How come someone went missing inside Flying Dragon City and you ran here to investigate"

"Could it be that my father-in-law suspects that the missing person has something to do with me"

Looking at Qing Shi Dao Ren, who seemed wronged and angry, Zhang Li Yang walked forward and smiled. "Dao Chang, what you said, the two missing people from Fei Long City disappeared outside the city. We need to search everywhere outside the city, but since your place is closest, it's just our first stop."f a year, returned here once again.Six months apart, it feels like a lifetime has passed. I am no longer the same person I was.As Zhang Liyang gazed upon the increasingly clear and magnificent imperia...
