Qian Xiaoyong rode at the head, Qū Honghai close behind him, and the large troop of men went to the secret realm.
Qin Feifei and Fang Jiayi were already so terrified that they had lost their wits. If Qian Xiaoyong continued to interrogate them for a while longer, they would definitely expose themselves.
Qin Feifei patted his chest and muttered to himself, "This is too dangerous. If they keep asking like this, I won't be able to hold out much longer. I'll definitely tell them the truth, and we'll be implicated at that point. It's better to do fewer things and stay out of trouble."
Fang Jiayi nodded when she heard this. If they don't make sense, we may also be killed, so this is the best result. In the future, no matter who asks, we will say so. We must not say anything casually or rashly, otherwise whether we can live or die is really difficult to say.
Qin Feifei looked at Fang Jiayi and said, "You think I'm stupid? If I tell others about the situation here, even if my master asks, the answer will be the same!"
Qian Xiaoyong led a thousand warriors with Emperor Realm strength, rushing to the depths of the secret realm to encircle and kill the demon beasts. With a clear direction, their march speed was much faster. More than a day later, they arrived at the entrance of the secret realm.
Qū Honghai approached Qian Xiaoyong. Commander, what should we do? Should you wait for news outside, or should you come with us into the secret realm?
Qian Xiaoyong looked at Qū Honghai and said, "Am I someone who abandons my brothers? What do you mean by that, do you think I'm afraid to die?"
Qū Honghai hurriedly said when he heard this: Commander, you misunderstood my meaning. We have followed you for so many years. Commander, what kind of person are you? How could we not know? My meaning is very simple, I just want the commander to have tea and rest outside, and let our brothers do the rough work of encircling and killing demon beasts!
Qian Xiaoyong glanced at Qū Honghai upon hearing his words, "I fight side by side with my brothers. We share both fortune and adversity, that's what makes for good brothers. I can't do something where I rest outside while my brothers go and fight to the death."
Qū Honghai nodded upon hearing this, "Brothers, our commander and we will fight side by side. Let's work together to encircle and kill the demon beasts, strive for the fastest time to find young master's remains so that we can return and complete our duties."
All the soldiers declared in unison: We will swear to follow the commander until death, quickly find young master's remains and return to Yundu City!
"Qian Xiaoyong gave a command, "Brothers, follow me into the secret realm and surround and kill the demon beasts!"
The crowd followed Qian Xiaoyong into the secret realm.
At this moment, Master Zhang was pacing up and down in his office. His mood was beyond description. He hoped that Qian Xiaoyong could quickly find out the truth about his grandson's murder. However, he also worried that Qian Xiaoyong would be too stubborn to know when to stop, losing his life in the secret realm. This was very headache for him, as Qian Xiaoyong was his capable general, helping him handle many things during critical times. He naturally didn't want anything bad to happen to him. However, he was well aware that Qian Xiaoyong was too stubborn and sometimes wouldn't turn back. If anything happened to him in the secret realm, he would lose a capable general. That was something he didn't want to see. What troubled him more was the idea of replacing Qian Xiaoyong with Liu's people as the army commander. Thinking about this, he began calculating whether it would be necessary to send someone into the secret realm to inform Qian Xiaoyong that it's time to stop and return if there are no clues!
At the same time, Liu the Guard was thinking, "It would be so great if Qian Xiaoyong were eaten by the demon beasts in the secret realm. Then I could promote my loyal subordinate to the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies. After that, my status in the city lord's mansion would be secure and worry-free!"
Huang Daoling was also calculating. Although I am now deeply trusted by the city lord, I cannot guarantee that this will always be the case. People without foresight always have immediate worries. I also need to make preparations in advance, so that I can respond in time if there are any problems! It is necessary to unite with Qian Xiaoyong to ensure victory! Qian Xiaoyong is a one-track mind. If he risks his life in the secret realm, it will definitely not be good for anything. I must let him know that the city lord only wants him to make a show and quickly withdraw when necessary to preserve his strength! This thing must be done by me, and I immediately called my loyal subordinate and assigned him a task: "You now secretly go to the secret realm and notify Qian Xiaoyong as commander. Just say that the city lord's intention is to stop at a suitable point!"
Huang Daoling's loyal subordinate accepted the mission to send a message to Qian Xiaoyong in the secret realm!
Master Zhang's loyal aide also left the city lord's mansion to notify Qian Xiaoyong in the secret realm.
At this moment, Qian Xiaoyong was leading the soldiers to encircle and kill the demon beasts in the secret realm. With over a thousand warriors possessing Emperor Realm strength, wherever they went, there were countless casualties. All of the demon beasts were hunted down. They pushed forward in an orderly fashion. Those who had not yet left the secret realm saw this and ran as far away as possible. This was not something they could provoke. Pissing off the officers from City Lord's Mansion was tantamount to asking for death, at least you would get broken bones, at worst you would die directly, who dares to provoke them? Just running away is not enough! Nobody wants to live anymore!
The warriors with Emperor Realm strength really aren't exaggerating when it comes to their speed of movement; they covered ten kilometers in no time!
Qian Xiaoyong ordered everyone to carefully search this area for young master's remains. According to the information, young master should have been killed in this area, so everyone must take their search seriously and make sure nothing is missed!
The soldiers nodded and began a comprehensive search to ensure that no place was missed.
When the soldiers noticed movement ahead, they immediately reported it to Qū Honghai.
Qū Honghai came to Mo Wenjie's cave. "Who are you? How did you get here?" "Have you found anything here?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qū Honghai, "I am Mo Wenjie. I came here for training, and I wonder what else could be here?"
Upon hearing this, Qū Honghai looked at Mo Wenjie. "You'd better come clean, or it won't be to your advantage!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qū Honghai. "I'm not sure what you mean by that, I just know that I came here for training, and I don't know anything else!"
Qū Honghai was so angry that his anger flared up, "Are you preparing to stand firm against us to the death?" "Do you believe that we can deal with you right now!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qū Honghai, "With the character 'official' having two mouths, they can say whatever they want. I'm just a commoner; I dare not argue with you!"
Qū Honghai looked at Mo Wenjie, "I have no idea either, but I just wanted to scare you. I didn't expect you to be so obstinate. Since you are not sure, I will take you to call your commander. Then we will see how you explain it!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qū Honghai, "I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if I haven't done anything wrong. It's the same with anyone else!"
Qū Honghai didn't waste time in argument. He brought Mo Wenjie to Qian Xiaoyong. "Commander, we found him in a cave ahead. When I asked him about some things, he wouldn't say anything. So, I had to bring him here!"
Qian Xiaoyong looked at Mo Wenjie and asked, "Where are you from? What have you experienced here during your training? Have you encountered any strange people or unusual events?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qian Xiaoyong and reported, "Commander, during my training here, I haven't encountered anything unusual. There are very few people who come here for training, and I am here at great risk. It's a gamble to seek wealth in danger."
Qian Xiaoyong, upon hearing Mo Wenjie's words, looked at him and involuntarily said, "Could this be a coincidence?"
