Chapter 478 - 478 478 Wen Family's Ecstasy

Chapter 478: Chapter 478 Wen Family’s Ecstasy Chapter 478: Chapter 478 Wen Family’s Ecstasy Mu Liantian looked at his wife, Qi Sirou!

He slowly shook his head and said, “Dark Night’s Mr.

Yin took the job personally; Jing Yan almost certainly couldn’t have escaped.

Although no one in Haofeng City actually saw Jing Yan being killed, I searched around Haofeng City for seven days and didn’t find any trace of him.”

Qi Sirou’s expression turned gloomy.

Indeed, it wasn’t a good outcome.

“Liantian!”

“Jing Yan was kind to us.

Can you find out who hired the Dark Night Assassin?

We can’t just do nothing.”

“Sigh…”

“I had even planned to marry Yunfei to Jing Yan, but now…” Qi Sirou sighed lightly.

Mu Liantian’s eyes widened.

Marry Yunfei to Jing Yan?

Qi Sirou had never mentioned this matter to him.

“What?

Jing Yan is only twenty years old, already a Dao Spirit Martial Artist and also a Third-level Alchemist, much better than Yunfei.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Jing Yan had taken a liking to Yunfei?” Qi Sirou glared at Mu Liantian.

A bitter smile appeared on Mu Liantian’s face.

“Unfortunately…

Jing Yan probably won’t be able to come back.

Yunfei, too, isn’t so fortunate,” Mu Liantian sighed.

“Yes!” Qi Sirou’s eyes revealed sadness.

“I’ll go to the Prince Manor and tell the Prince about this,” Mu Liantian then said.

Inside the Prince Manor.

“Liantian, didn’t make it in time?” Zhou Shangyun asked Mu Liantian with a gloomy expression from inside the room.

“By the time I reached Haofeng City, it was already too late.

Mr.

Yin, the Dark Night Ace, had arrived in Haofeng City a week before I got there and had found Jing Yan,” Mu Liantian shook his head.

“Damn it!” Zhou Shangyun lowly growled in anger.

“Dark Night is being unreasonable!

Do they really think I am helpless against them?” Killing intent emanated from Zhou Shangyun.

“Prince.

Now is not the time to consider going against Dark Night; let’s first try to find out who hired the Dark Night Ace,” Mu Liantian also spoke with a cold tone.

If he could find out who hired Dark Night, he would not let them off lightly, regardless of their power.

Even if it was a power at the level of the Four Great Families of Lanqu County City, Mu Liantian was determined to make them pay a sufficient price.

To make them regret killing Jing Yan!

“Yes, spare no expense in finding the mastermind!” Zhou Shangyun’s complexion slightly recovered as he spoke in a deep voice.

“Yes!” Mu Liantian nodded, “I’ll get to it right away!”

After leaving the Prince Manor, Mu Liantian immediately sprang into action.

However, the matter had no leads; the mastermind left no clues behind.

Finding them was indeed no easy task.

Mu Liantian also had a suspect in mind—the Wen Family.

But without any evidence, he couldn’t take any action against the Wen Family.

Mu Liantian was just suspicious; he couldn’t be sure it was the Wen Family, not even half sure.

Inside the Wen Family Mansion, in the Clan Chief’s Courtyard!

Wen Lan and several of the most important elders of the Wen Family were present.

The elders all looked towards Clan Leader Wen Lan.

At this moment, Wen Lan was evidently in a very good mood, smiling and squinting his eyes.

The one who matched Wen Lan’s expression was the Sixth Elder, who was in charge of intelligence for the Wen Family.

“Sixth Elder, over to you,” Wen Lan said to the Sixth Elder.

Just moments ago, the Sixth Elder had come over and brought a piece of news.

Upon hearing it, Wen Lan was overjoyed and immediately summoned the most important elders of the family.

“Alright!” The Sixth Elder nodded.

“Elders!

That Jing Yan kid should be dead by now,” the Sixth Elder said in the calmest voice possible.

“Really?”

“That kid is dead?

He’s finally dead?”

“Ha ha…

that’s great!”

These elders knew that Clan Leader Wen Lan had hired Mr.

Yin to assassinate Jing Yan.

They were the most important elders within the Wen Family.

Wen Lan could keep the other elders in the dark about hiring Mr.

Yin to kill Jing Yan, but he had to inform these few elders and get their approval.

The ten million Spirit Stones as payment wasn’t something that Wen Lan, the Clan Leader, could decide alone, after all, it was the family’s resources.

Ten million Spirit Stones was not a small amount for the Wen Family, and that resource could do a lot.

Hearing the words of the Sixth Elder, these elders were very pleased.

Indeed, Jing Yan had caused huge losses to the Wen Family.

Because of Jing Yan, the Wen Family had not only suffered big losses in resources, but their reputation had suffered greatly.

From the destruction of the Zhao Family, the deaths of many Dao Spirit Realm elders of the Wen Family, to the loss of the Donglin City Lord’s position to Jing Yan, all these things had caused the Wen Family to lose face.

Therefore, the people of the Wen Family longed to eliminate Jing Yan quickly!

Now hearing that Jing Yan was dead, everyone naturally felt joy.

Removing Jing Yan wasn’t an easy task, if Jing Yan had stayed in Lanqu County City, either at the Dao Yi Academy or the Alchemist Association, it would have been very difficult for the Wen Family and Dark Night to find an opportunity to attack him.

It was good that Jing Yan met his end, having left Lanqu County City for Haofeng City!

“Sixth Elder, is this information reliable?” an elder asked, his eyes gleaming.

“It should be reliable.

Mu Liantian specifically went to Haofeng City searching for Jing Yan, yet returned unsuccessfully.

Hehe, actually, if Mr.

Yin personally took the job to assassinate Jing Yan and still failed, that would be a joke.

I think it’s unlikely that Mr.

Yin let Jing Yan escape from his hands,” the Sixth Elder laughed as he spoke.

“Mr.

Yin has assassinated several Daoist Realm Martial Artists; how could a mere Jing Yan escape from his hands?” Clan Leader Wen Lan also squinted his eyes and spoke, “However, there is one issue now, Mr.

Yin hasn’t come to take the remaining five million Spirit Stones as payment.”

Wen Lan shook his head, slightly puzzled.

“Jing Yan’s status isn’t ordinary; he is a benefactor of the Prince.

I think Mr.

Yin probably has concerns, so he likely won’t dare come to Lanqu County City for a while.

Once the situation calms down, he will definitely come to take the remaining pay.

If Jing Yan had truly managed to escape, then Mr.

Yin would definitely show up immediately to let us know of his failure,” an elder analyzed.

The others nodded.

The elder’s reasoning was quite sound.

It was indeed a sensitive time; Mu Liantian was desperately searching for clues.

If Mr.

Yin were to come to Lanqu County City now, it would be extremely dangerous, both for him and for the Wen Family.

It would be much safer after the situation settled.

“Gentlemen!

After you leave this room today, just forget about this matter entirely!

At any time and in any place, never mention anything about Jing Yan,” Wen Lan’s voice lowered, speaking sternly.

Everyone nodded.

They clearly understood this without Wen Lan having to say it.

If the Prince found out that it was their Wen Family who had hired Mr.

Yin to kill Jing Yan, the Wen Family’s situation would be very precarious.
