Chapter 2238
by“Is that so？” Ning Yuanshu smiled slightly, with a deep meaning in his smile, staring at Duan Yuanshan and said, “Then may I ask, how did my eldest brother die？”
Duan Yuanshan’s body shook and he frowned and said, “What does the young master mean by this？”
“Hehe…” Ning Yuanshu laughed and said, “My eldest brother, Ning Yuancheng. City Lord Duan surely recognizes him, right？”
Duan Yuanshan was silent. Of course he recognized Ning Yuancheng. The last time the Holy Spirit appeared, Ning Yuancheng came to Fenglin City with some attendants. He knew about this matter. Later, he organized an auction conference, and that Ning Yuancheng also participated.
Ning Yuanshu said, “As far as I know, after my eldest brother participated in the auction conference of your Fenglin City, he disappeared without a trace. Although the body was not found, the soul lamp placed in the palace was extinguished. Youdaoplaceholder1, he suffered some kind of evil hand. The place where the accident happened is either in Fenglin City or not far from here. Shouldn’t City Lord Duan give me an explanation?
Hearing this, Duan Yuanshan’s face changed.
He thought the other party was settling accounts with him after the autumn.
Although the death of Ning Yuancheng had nothing to do with him and he didn’t know anything about this matter, after all, the last time the other party appeared was in Fenglin City, and then he suffered. In any case, Fenglin City had some responsibility. If the Flying Saint Palace really pursued it, Duan Yuanshan really couldn’t get rid of the crime.
Seeing his ugly face, Ning Yuanshu laughed loudly and said, “City Lord Duan doesn’t need to panic. Speaking of this matter, this young master actually wants to thank you…”
“Is the Young Palace Master joking with Duan？” Duan Yuanshan looked up with a gloomy face.
Ning Yuanshu shook his head and said, “Naturally not. But if my eldest brother hadn’t had an accident here in your Fenglin City, how could I have had the opportunity to be established as the Young Palace Master and sit in this position now. City Lord Duan, tell me, shouldn’t this young master thank you well?”
Hearing this, instead of having the slightest joy, Duan Yuanshan felt a chill all over his body.
His own biological elder brother died, and the guy in front of him not only didn’t feel sad, but also looked extremely happy. Excited that he had taken over instead, and said it out in public like this.
The bad character of Ning Yuanshu is evident. When getting along with such a person, Duan Yuanshan didn’t dare to take it lightly either.
On the first seat. Ning Yuanshu then said, “My useless eldest brother died, but because of this, our sect has suffered quite a loss, which is really distressing. In addition… Elder Fu, who came to investigate the cause of my eldest brother’s death, also died in Fenglin City. Elder Fu has the cultivation base of the third level of the Dao Source Realm and is also a rare powerhouse in our sect. He can’t just die like this City Lord Duan. shouldn’t you give me an explanation for this matter?
As he spoke later, his face gradually became gloomy and cold, and he looked at Duan Yuanshan aggressively.
“Elder Fu？” Duan Yuanshan was stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed slightly. He immediately thought of someone and exclaimed in a low voice, “Could the person the Young Palace Master refers to be like this！”
As he spoke, he waved his hand forward, and the source power surged in front of him. Soon, the image of a person emerged.
Ning Yuanshu took a look and nodded, saying, “That’s right！ He is our sect’s Fu Sitong, Elder Fu！”
Duanyuanshan’s complexion changed drastically, and he murmured, “So he is an elder of your esteemed sect. No wonder he has such a peerless cultivation base.”
He suddenly remembered this person. Unexpectedly, this person was really the Elder Fu in Ning Yuanshu’s mouth.
He was not familiar with this person. It was only when the demonic energy surrounded the city that the Qin family contributed the Black Tortoise Seven-section Great Array and wanted to form a formation to rush out of the city. When Duanyuanshan was looking for suitable candidates. This person volunteered to be a member of the formation. At that time, there was also another young woman with the cultivation base of the third level of the Dao Source Realm. Although Duanyuanshan knew that both of them had extraordinary backgrounds. But he didn’t carefully inquire about their backgrounds.
It was not until today that he learned that one of them was an elder of the Flying Saint Palace.
He pondered for a moment and then bowed and said, “If the Young Palace Master asks how this Elder Fu died, Duanmou does know a thing or two.”
“Oh？ Let’s hear it.” Ning Yuanshu raised his eyebrows.
“A few months ago, the incident of the demonic energy of the ancient great demon near Fenglin City emerging, I presume the Young Palace Master has also heard about it…” He then tells the things that happened at that time, and didn’t even hide the matter that at the last moment. Zhuang Pan was greedy for life and afraid of death and abandoned everyone and fled.
Zhuang Pan listened at the side with a dark face like water, but he couldn’t refute. His face turned red and then green.
The two elders, Gao Shan and Liu Shui, don’t hesitate to look at Zhuang Pan with disdain. He wished he could find a crack in the ground and hide in it, never to come out again.
“The great formation was broken, and the magic energy was fierce. I, Duan, was powerless to resist. I could only risk my life and bring the two people from the Qin family back to the city. This Elder Fu didn’t leave immediately but chose to stay. I don’t know what happened afterwards. However, since this Elder Fu is dead, it is possible that he was injured by the magic energy.”
“Oh…” After listening to his account, Ning Yuanshu didn’t have much doubt. He just pondered for a moment and then said, “In that case, this matter can’t be blamed on City Lord Duan.It’s deacon Zhuang’s fault?”
He immediately turned his gaze to Zhuang Pan.
Zhuang Pan’s cultivation base was not low. He had the cultivation base of the Dao Source Realm anyway. He joined the Flying Saint Palace halfway and managed to get a deacon position. He thought he would rise to power from then on. Who knew that Duan Yuanshan’s words would draw hatred onto him.
He immediately cursed Duan Yuanshan to hell in his heart.
Sensing the coldness in Ning Yuanshu’s gaze, Zhuang Pan was so scared that he fell to his knees on the ground completely losing his integrity. Duan Yuanshan and Drunken Old Man looked at him with contempt.
“Young Palace Master, you must see clearly. The situation that day was by no means as Duan Yuanshan said. The reason why this subordinate did that was actually… actually…” He made up half of it and found that he couldn’t continue. For a moment, he was at a loss for words, and cold sweat was pouring out on his forehead in a hurry.
“Actually, what was it？” Ning Yuanshu sneered again and again, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, looking very much like “if you don’t give me an explanation today, you’ll look good”.
In a critical moment, Zhuang Pan was actually inspired and had a brainwave. He said repeatedly, “This subordinate only saw that things couldn’t be done that day, so he retreated bravely in the face of difficulties in order to keep this useful body and serve the Young Palace Master, running errands for the Young Palace Master！”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ning Yuanshu with a flattering face.
“This flattery is of a high standard！” Duan Yuanshan said softly to the Drunken Old Man beside him. “Why didn’t I know before that this guy was so articulate？”
Although the volume was lowered, everyone present was a martial artist in the Dao Source Realm. Who didn’t hear it？
“Burp…” The Drunken Old Man was still drunk-eyed and hazy, as if he would never wake up. Hearing this, he burped loudly again.
It was Zhuang Pan who couldn’t help but glared at him fiercely. His face turned red and white, and I’m afraid he was a little embarrassed himself.
“Well, it’s rare that deacon has such loyalty. Reward!” After being stunned for a moment, Ning Yuanshu was greatly pleased. As he spoke, he casually threw a spiritual fruit to Zhuang Pan. The spiritual fruit rolled and accurately stopped in front of Zhuang Pan.
Zhuang Pan not only didn’t feel humiliated, but also laughed and cupped his fists： “Thank you, Young Palace Master, for the reward！”
As he spoke, he bent down, lowered his head, and like a dog eating, bit the spiritual fruit in his mouth and ate it with a crunch.
Duan Yuanshan simply couldn’t bear to watch anymore. He turned his head aside. Thinking of having worked with this person before, he felt a burst of nausea.
“City Lord Duan…” Ning Yuanshu once again turned his gaze to Duan Yuanshan and said, “This young master has a request.”
Duan Yuanshan said, “Young Palace Master, please speak.”
Ning Yuanshu said, “After all, this young master is an outsider. The so-called strong dragon doesn’t suppress the local snake. This place is still City Lord Duan’s territory. This young master hopes that City Lord Duan can help this young master find out the cause of my eldest “brother’s death. If someone harms him, the murderer must be found!”
Duan Yuanshan’s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to perfunctorily say a few words, Zhuang Pan stood up and said eagerly, If the Young Palace Master wants to investigate the cause of the death of the eldest son of the city this subordinate has a suspicious candidate here.
“Oh？” Ning Yuanshu looked at him in surprise. “What do you know？ Tell me…”
“There is a brat surnamed Yang who once used a secret treasure of a building ship of our sect！” Zhuang Pan said. “And that secret treasure of the building ship, this subordinate has seen City Young Master use it before. If there is no accident, that brat surnamed Yang must know some inside information. Maybe it was that brat surnamed Yang who was greedy for wealth and killed City Young Master.”
“There is such a thing？” A flash of cold light flickered in Ning Yuanshu’s eyes.
“Exactly！”
As soon as Zhuang Pan finished speaking, he saw Ning Yuanshu suddenly blast out a palm at him. In the palm, the source power fluctuated, Youdaoplaceholder0 using some secret technique. Zhuang Pan was shocked (greatly shocked and his complexion changed) and instinctively used his cultivation to resist. But just as he had this action, Elder Gao Shan, who had been closing his eyes and concentrating, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a ray of essence light like substance shot out from his eyes, enveloping Zhuang Pan.
Zhuang Pan suddenly stiffened in place. The next moment, a dull sound of ‘boom’ came from his chest. Accompanied by a miserable cry, Zhuang Pan flew backwards, hit the wall heavily, spat out a mouthful of blood with a ‘wow’, and stars were dancing in front of his eyes. His expression suddenly withered.
“Young Palace Master…” He forced himself to stay awake, with a flustered expression, “What is the meaning of this？”
Ning Yuanshu snorted coldly and said, “Since there is such important news, why didn’t you report it earlier？”
Zhuang Pan opened his mouth wide and was stunned there, muttering: “This subordinate thought…”
“What do you think?” Ning Yuanshu looked at him coldly. “Do you think this young master doesn’t want to find out the cause of that waste’s death? Humph, although this young master doesn’t like that guy, after all, he is a member of this sect. It’s improper for him to die. The cause of death must be found out, and the murderers must also be severely punished!
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s this subordinate who didn’t consider things comprehensively！” Zhuang Pan repeatedly agreed.
“Where is that brat surnamed Yang now?” Ning Yuanshu asked in a deep voice.
“To know this person’s whereabouts, I’m afraid we have to ask City Lord Duan.” Zhuang Pan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Duan Yuanshan coldly, with a gloating look.
Ning Yuanshu also shifted his gaze accordingly and looked at Duan Yuanshan aggressively.
Duan Yuanshan frowned and said, “He has left Fenglin City for several months. Where he is now, Duan doesn’t know either.”
“Then which sect does he come from and does he have any close people in Fenglin City？” Ning Yuanshu asked again.
“Which sect he comes from, Duan also doesn’t know. He came to Fenglin City two years ago. There doesn’t seem to be any of his relatives in the city either.”
