After hearing Dai Zhixin’s report, Feng Shao had the same idea as her. These people were indeed testing Wuling City, but Feng Shao was not sure what they were trying to test, so there were a few options that he could refer to.
One is the natural spiritual energy resources of Wuling City, and the other is the opportunity Feng Shao got in Qiankun Palace. Feng Shao thinks the latter is more likely, after all, the timing is more appropriate.
Dai Zhixin asked, “Then City Lord Feng, how should we deal with the other party’s actions next?”
Feng Shao smiled faintly and said, “Simple! This kind of thing should be left to the professionals.”
Professionals?
Dai Zhixin looked at Feng Shao, not understanding what he meant.
Soon, Dai Zhixin knew what the so-called “professional” meant.
Feng Shao directly went to the Qingfeng Tower branch in Wuling City that day and issued a reward. The content of the reward was related to the five robbed caravans.
Those who can provide clues will be rewarded with one thousand spirit stones; those who can provide important clues and get them confirmed will be rewarded with five thousand spirit stones; and for each robber who is killed who participated in the robbery of the caravan, there will be a reward of ten thousand spirit stones.
There is no upper limit.Qingfeng Tower was professional in killing people and gathering intelligence. Their service attitude was worthy of the remuneration they received. On that day, Qingfeng Tower joined forces with several surrounding branches and sent out several assassin teams to gather intelligence. It only took three days for the investigation report to be delivered to Feng Shao’s desk.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Qingfeng Tower would not have such a high efficiency of action, but who can blame Wuling City for having Yunjian Pavilion as a big backer? Qingfeng Tower had long intended to make friends with Wuling City, and now that it finally got the opportunity, it naturally spared no effort.
Even the one who came with the investigation report was Zu Shenglong, the young master of Qingfeng Tower.
Zu Shenglong took the investigation report and handed it to Feng Shao, saying with a smile, “Brother Feng, this is the result of my Qingfeng Tower’s investigation over the past three days. I hope you will be satisfied.”
Feng Shao finished reading these thin papers after a while. He smiled and said to Zu Shenglong, “I am satisfied. I am really satisfied. I didn’t expect Qingfeng Tower to be so efficient.”
Zu Shenglong said, “Although the people who robbed the caravan were all under the banner of local robbers, there were a total of seven sects and families behind them, and two sects and one family took direct action. Behind them, there are several large sects, including sects from Nanzhou and Zhongzhou.”
At this point, Zu Shenglong asked curiously, “Brother Feng, what did you do to make these sects choose to attack you? And what’s interesting is that they didn’t attack directly, but instead found agents.”
Feng Shao shrugged his shoulders in a nonchalant manner and explained, “No matter how large a sect or a force is, sometimes they need to do something that is not presentable. At this time, they will naturally find an agent. If I am not mistaken, they want to test how much I brought out after leaving Qiankun Palace.”
Zu Shenglong was also a smart man, so he naturally didn’t believe Feng Shao’s claim that he “brought nothing with him when he got out of Qiankun Palace.” However, no matter what opportunity Feng Shao had obtained, it had nothing to do with him or his Qingfeng Tower. The Qingfeng Tower had been able to stand and survive for so many years because it had always adhered to the principle of “don’t do what you shouldn’t do, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”
So Zu Shenglong didn’t even reply to Feng Shao’s musings and directly changed the topic to the business of their Qingfeng Tower. He said, “Then I wonder what Brother Feng is going to do next? If there is anything we can do for you, just let me know. Also, considering our friendship, the price is negotiable.”
The two of them actually had no friendship, but that didn’t stop him from saying some polite words to make the other party feel flattered.
Feng Shao thought for a moment and said with a smile, “It just so happens that I have to go out for a while, so I really have to ask your Qingfeng Tower to do this.”
Zu Shenglong’s eyes suddenly lit up and he excitedly spoke to Feng Shao, “Brother Feng, just give me your orders.”
Feng Shao tapped the paper for a while and said, “Your Qingfeng Tower will have to kill all the people who robbed the Wuling City caravans directly. Also, I need you to kill a few people who didn’t rob as a warning.”
Zu Shenglong nodded and said, “According to the price quoted by our Qingfeng Tower, killing a cultivator in the Gold Core realm costs thirty thousand spirit stones, killing a cultivator in the Innate realm costs ten thousand spirit stones, and killing a cultivator in the Meridian Opening realm or below costs three thousand spirit stones. I’ll make the decision and give you a twenty percent discount. What do you think?”
Feng Shao smiled and said, “Then I’ll accept your kindness.”
