Chapter 52: Chapter 45: Conical Hat Strange Guest Stuns Great Marsh, Manluo Demon Pearl Seeks Flying Thief_3

The Stewards only wished that the Conical Hat Strange Guest would cause trouble for the Black Tiger Gang every day...

Only Zhao Yufei, sitting to one side, remained silent, but her eyes already held a glint of eagerness.

The Conical Hat Strange Guest had appeared again! He had been to Zhang Wu’s residence. She wondered if there was a chance to find something the Conical Hat Strange Guest had left behind, or traces of him there!

Although the Conical Hat Strange Guest had many tricks, he didn’t understand her Celestial Eye Technique. If she suddenly faced him, there was a good chance she could capture him and get the Twin Vine Demon Pearl in his possession!

...

After the meeting, in the inner hall of the council chamber, several Grand Chief Stewards looked at Jiang Yuran.

Grand Chief Steward Gao Yunchao spoke, "Should we gather the manpower from the Outer City first to speed up the investigation?"

Jiang Yuran, clearly in a good mood because of the Conical Hat Strange Guest matter, smiled and shook her head.

"No need. The defense of the Outer City is also very important. Let’s try to expedite the progress. If we can avenge the disciples as soon as possible, that would be best!"

"Moreover, didn’t Zhao Yufei acquire three Dragon Blood Dogs? With those three Dragon Blood Dogs, the search for the Flying Thief will proceed much faster! It’s estimated that we will have some clues in seven or eight days!"

Gao Yunchao’s eyes flickered. "So, Chief Steward Jiang believes that the Silver Jade Steward position is highly likely to fall into Steward Zhao Yufei’s hands?"

Jiang Yuran laughed. "Of course. Zhao Yufei’s chance of getting the Silver Jade position is definitely dozens or even hundreds of times greater than any other Steward. After all, this talented young lady from the Zhao Family has the Dragon Blood Dogs to assist her! Though she’s a bit arrogant, she is truly deserving of the Silver Jade Steward position based on her strength, talent, and background. Speaking of which, even Hall Master Senior Brother Xuu thinks highly of her and wants my martial nephew to marry her!"

Jiang Yuran paused, then continued, "Additionally, there is one more thing. That Conical Hat Strange Guest rescued Zhuo Yunbing, who should be the very Zhuo Yunbing from the Alchemy Zhuo Family that has somewhat declined! Although Zhuo Yunbing’s skill in refining the Divine Protection Elixir is far inferior to the Pill Masters of our Great Marsh Hall, she is still a somewhat talented Initial Grade Alchemist. If we can find her, it would be good to bring her into our sect!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuran secretly thought: If I can find Zhuo Yunbing, I might also get some information about the Conical Hat Strange Guest from her. Such an interesting person, it would be best to draw him into our Yin Talisman Sect...

...

「A few hours later,」

Near Xunyang Town in the Outer City, a figure swiftly moved through the area. It was Lin Xuankong, activating the Manluo Demon Pearl.

He stood on a small hill he had once visited, looking into the distance. He saw numerous lush green fields outside Xunyang Town, where several tenant farmers were busy with their work... Even though the battle between the Yin Talisman Sect and the Demons had caused countless Yin Talisman Disciples to perish, it also brought new life.

After a few glances, Lin Xuankong turned his gaze towards the direction of the Black Tiger Gang’s Outer City territory.

With the Manluo Demon Pearl, he had already searched the territory of the Spirit Snake Gang and thoroughly investigated the twenty-nine towns under the Yin Talisman Sect. Next, he planned to head towards the Outer City towns of the Black Tiger Gang, hoping to find some results there!

After a brief rest, Lin Xuankong set off again, running swiftly across the plains.

Three cups of tea time later, Lin Xuankong suddenly stopped because at that moment, the Manluo Demon Pearl he had activated caused the Manluo Demon Grass to rapidly extend, heading towards the west!

Staring at the rapidly extending Manluo Demon Grass, Lin Xuankong’s face showed a hint of surprise. The Manluo Demon Grass appeared slender and delicate, but its extending speed was terrifyingly fast. It was countless times faster than him running at full speed as a late-stage Second Layer Martial Cultivator. His current vision far surpassed that of ordinary people, yet he could only see the afterimages of the Demon Grass’s top tendrils... If this speed were used to chase him, even if the Demon Grass let him run a hundred thousand feet first, he wouldn’t be able to escape!

Of course, most importantly, he finally found the hideout of the two Flying Thieves!

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Xuankong’s face turned cautious. He quieted his steps and moved quickly under the cover of the vegetation... Two hundred precious Forehead Scales, medicinal herbs from the Honorary Silver Jade Position, and the Thunder Light Flashing Yin Talisman Technique, here I come!
