Xiang Shaoyun had been kidnapped! This incident created waves within the Martial Hall Palace. Elder Zhen Peng was enraged when he heard that. He had just become Xiang Shaoyun's follower not long ago, yet someone dared to kidnap Xiang Shaoyun? The nerve of the kidnapper!
”Investigate! Find out who did it! If I find out who's the culprit, I'll exterminate his entire clan!” Elder Zhen Peng howled with fury.
Yang Gaochuan was similarly furious. ”Where are the enforcers? How have you been guarding our Martial Hall Palace? Something like this happened under broad daylight? Do you not want your position anymore?”
The enforcer elder wiped his sweat and said, ”Palace master, it was my mistake. There were too many visitors, and we were all focused on the security here. Because of that, the security of other areas have slackened. I'll immediately start searching for him!”
”The kidnapper is definitely Xiang Shaoyun's enemy. Who has he offended?” Elder Zhen Peng frowned.
”I am sure it's the Wu Clan!” Zi Changhe said.
”Why so?” Elder Zhen Peng asked.
”Xiang Shaoyun had defeated a member of Wu Clan, and they have been holding a grudge against him for that. Prior to this, they had tried kidnapping him but had failed. A few days ago when Xiang Shaoyun had returned from the Hundred Beast Mountain Range, they had tried kidnapping him again. I had arrived in time and killed them off. Apart from them, I can't think of anyone who's gutsy enough to do something like this,” Zi Changhe explained.
”Wu Clan? Town Head Wu f.u.xiang was here visiting me earlier. Is it really them?” Elder Zhen Peng muttered angrily. He paused before adding, ”Come, let's pay Wu Clan a visit. If it's really them, there is no need for the Wu Clan to continue existing anymore.”
After saying that, Elder Zhen Peng grabbed Zi Changhe and flew straight toward the Wu Estate. Wu Town wasn't very big. A King Realm expert only needed the span of a few breaths to arrive at the Wu Estate.
”Wu f.u.xiang, come out!” Elder Zhen Peng yelled when he arrived.
When the Wu Clan members saw the people in the sky, they were all alarmed. Fear covered their faces as they understood that those capable of flight were all extremely powerful.
The higher ups of the Wu Clan were all alarmed as well. Shortly after, Wu f.u.xiang led the higher ups and came out. ”So it's Elder Zhen Peng. I have just returned from your place, yet you're already here. I am overwhelmed by the favor you are showing me. Why don't you come in and take a seat? The Wu Clan will be honored to have you as our guest.”
Elder Zhen Peng did not bother saying anything else and landed with Zi Changhe.
”Are you the ones who had kidnapped my young master, Xiang Shaoyun?” Elder Zhen Peng asked frankly.
”May I ask who this Xiang Shaoyun is? I have never heard of him,” Wu f.u.xiang asked, his face looking confused.
”Old town head, Xiang Shaoyun is my junior brother. Before this, your Wu Clan had tried multiple times to harm him. Now that he has gone missing, I suspect your Wu Clan is the culprit. Old town head, if you're unsure, you can ask the present town head if he knows anything!” Zi Changhe said.
”Elder Zi, you can't accuse others without proof. Why would the Wu Clan harm your junior brother?” Wu Hongxi stepped forward and spoke.
”You dare say the previous two waves of kidnappers were not from your Wu Clan?” Zi Changhe questioned.
”I'm curious, why are you so sure those people were from the Wu Clan?” Wu Hongxi countered with a question.
That instantly rendered Zi Changhe speechless. Of the two waves of kidnappers, one had gone completely missing while the second had been quickly killed by him. The dead couldn't testify.
