Chapter 417: Trap, Counterattack! [Subscribe]

next day

Wei Hong walked out of the small courtyard refreshed and prepared to go to the Talisman Making Workshop to draw Talisman.

Yesterday, he returned to Fangshi without any incident. During this period, except for meeting Zhao Cheng, no other accidents happened.

In line with the principle of minding his own business, Wei Hong took a detour back to Fangshi when he returned to the foot of the mountain instead of continuing to follow Zhao Cheng to avoid getting himself into unnecessary trouble.

However, when Wei Hong went out today, he found that the atmosphere in the city was somewhat strange.

Along the way, many monks were whispering to each other, but their faces looked a little nervous or worried.

"What happened? Why is the atmosphere in the city so tense?"

Wei Hong frowned and began to guess vaguely in his mind.

He subconsciously thought of Zhao Cheng and the Chen family elder who was being followed yesterday, and secretly guessed whether the changes in Fang City had anything to do with them.

Wei Hong stopped and frowned for a while, then suddenly changed direction and walked towards the General Affairs Hall.

"Haha, fellow Taoist Guan is here, coming to take over another mission?"

After arriving at the General Affairs Hall, Wang Wenle, who had just seen Wei Hong, immediately greeted him warmly.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wang, Guan is not here to take over a task today, but I have something I want Fellow Daoist to help me clear up."

Wei Hong politely cupped his hand and directly explained his intention.

As a casual cultivator, his sources of information and information are definitely not as good as those of Wang Wenle and others.

Therefore, he didn't bother to go to the market to listen to other people's discussions, but went directly to Wang Wenle.

As a formation master, I believe Wang Wenle would be happy to share these gossips with him.

As expected, Wang Wenle immediately smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Guan, you are so polite. If you want to know anything, you can just ask."

"Haha, fellow Taoist, don't worry, I will never make it difficult for you!"

Wei Hong smiled heartily, and then asked: "That's right, I saw something wrong with the atmosphere in Fang City today. Many people seemed a little nervous. I don't know what happened. Can Fellow Daoist Wang tell me something?"

When Wang Wenle heard this, he immediately said: "So this is what fellow Taoist Guan asked about, haha, then you are asking the right person. Wang really knows the reason."

"Oh? Please give me some advice from fellow Daoist Wang!" Wei Hong's eyes lit up and he thought to himself that he had found the right person.

Wang Wenle waved his hands, and then said seriously: "Fellow Taoist Guan is actually right. The atmosphere in Fang City today is indeed a bit tense, because Chen Qinghe, an elder of the Chen family, was killed by Jie Xiu, and the threat of Jie Xiu has appeared again. , so many people in the city are worried about this issue.”

"Sure enough, it is really related to those two people yesterday. Then Zhao Cheng can't be Jie Xiu, right?"

As soon as Wei Hong heard the news, he immediately confirmed his previous suspicion.

As expected, the elder of the small Chen family had also been killed, but he didn't expect that it would be Jie Xiu's hand.

"The elders of the Chen family were harmed by the Jie cultivators?" Wei Hong frowned and asked, "What's going on? How dare those Jie cultivators be so rampant during the trade fair?"

"Who says it isn't?"

Wang Wenle was also a little puzzled, but he still explained: "In fact, not only the Chen family, but also the three families near Fangshi suffered many casualties, and Chen Qinghe of the Chen family was just the primary target of Jie Xiu. In the end, I couldn’t escape.”

"The real cause of this matter actually starts a few months ago."

"Four or five months ago, many businesses of the three immortal cultivating families around Fang City, the Chen family, the Zhou family, and the Li family, were greatly affected by Jie Xiu's unscrupulous hunting. At the same time, some members of the three families He also suffered at the hands of Jie Xiu."

"After that, the three families, Chen, Zhou and Li, hated the [Blood Eagle] gang outside Fang City."

Having said this, Wang Wenle paused for a moment before continuing: "Because the losses were too great, the three families began to unite and plan an ambush secretly to kill all their enemies."

Wei Hong suddenly had an idea and suddenly interjected: "Then Chen Qinghe was a trap set up by the three families? Is it a bait they deliberately set out?"

"Haha, fellow Taoist Guan really hit the nail on the head."

Wang Wenle's eyes showed admiration, and then he nodded and said: "Yes, Chen Qinghe is the bait released by the three families. Their original intention is to set up a trap to kill the [Blood Eagle] gang."

"Then the trade fair started, Chen Qinghe deliberately showed off his wealth and purchased a large amount of resources at the trade fair, including elixirs and magical materials, so he was immediately targeted by the eyes and ears of Jie Xiu."

"It's just that none of the three Chen families expected that while they were setting up a trap, they would also step into the trap set by the other party."

"Chen Qinghe originally wanted to lure out all the members of the Tribulation Cultivator and prepare to catch them all in one fell swoop. Who knew that the group of Tribulation Cultivators was actually much stronger than they imagined, and there was even a leader who was in the early stage of foundation building to hold the battle."

"In this case, the result is not difficult to imagine. The large group of people gathered by the three families were attacked by the [Blood Eagle] gang and were killed to pieces. Chen Qinghe was killed on the spot, and the remaining people were not dead. Among the casualties, the few who survived all fled, and the casualties were extremely heavy."

Wang Wenle said with a solemn expression, and was even more impressed by Jie Xiu's power and cruelty.

Even as an unrelated person, I can't help but feel angry when I hear these cruel atrocities committed by Jie Xiu.

Wei Hong also had a solemn expression on his face. He frowned and thought for a while: "So, the three families of Chen, Zhou and Li should be considered seriously injured this time, right? That group of robbers committed such a serious crime, but there is still no reaction from Qingyun Sect?"

"Who said it's not!"

Wang Wenle said with a sigh: "I heard that the three families were seriously injured, and the patriarchs of the three families were so scared that they recalled most of their clansmen overnight and opened the clan protection array. They even sent people to cry to Qingyun Sect, hoping that Qingyun Sect could send people to wipe out that group of robbers."

"As for Qingyun Sect, there has been no reaction yet."

Wei Hong sighed softly when he heard this, and said nothing more.

Who would have thought that the three small immortal cultivation families were almost removed from the immortal cultivation world because of a group of robbers.

Even the immortal cultivation families suffered such a big loss, and now they dare not even think of revenge. If it were ordinary casual cultivators, wouldn't they be eaten by the robbers?

Wei Hong could think of this, and other independent cultivators could naturally think of it as well.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the atmosphere in the market became tense again.

As long as the group of robbers outside the market is not wiped out, the independent cultivators in the market will be worried, so much so that they will never dare to leave the market again, lest they end up dead.
