461 Old Wuen (2/2)

He spoke slowly as if he was worried that the young man couldn't understand the prairie language.

”Lend me nine jars,” the young man replied without hesitation.

Old Wuen ordered a mute boy who worked for him to guard the tent before turning around to lead his new guest toward the small tent in the rear.

”Where's the seal?” After they entered the tent, Old Wuen questioned the young man in fluent Central Plains, which was also the official language of the Great Jin Dynasty and the North Zhou Dynasty.

The young man took out a green office seal on his palm. The seal glowed with hazy light and had four words carved on it: 'Chasing After the Wind.'

”To earn the Green-ribbon Arrester title when you're this young… I only got the title after working hard for half of my life…” Old Wuen gave the young man a once-over, believing him to have an impressive strength that had earned him the title at such a young age.

Old Wuen's guest was none other than Meng Qi. After leaving from the grassland border, he had followed his preparation and gotten in touch with a rat of the Six Fan School of the Great Jin Dynasty in the North Zhou Dynasty. He tried to find Wolf King through the school's grassland information network.

Having received the introduction, he set out for Gegengol.

Old Wuen was a famous martial artist in the grasslands when he was young. But later, he offended a certain tribe noble, resulting in him nearly being killed and his wife and daughter nearly becoming slaves. Luckily, he won the recognition of Six Fan School and a rat killed the noble. While the sons and daughters of the noble fought over the family property, he took the opportunity to escape to River Gen along with his family.

Since then, he despised those unfettered nobilities and devoted himself to work for the Great Jin Dynasty.

Meng Qi touched the two ends of his mustache which he had deliberately kept with a smile. ”I finally get the chance to speak the Great Jin language! To avoid exposure by talking too much, I can only pretend to be grim these days.”

He could only understand a little of the prairie language after taking up language training for a month, never mind speak it.

”The prairie language isn't hard to learn. The Great Jin dynasty language, on the other hand… Ha! I spent exactly ten years to speak it fluently.” Unbearable memories crossed Old Wuen's mind before he turned serious and asked, ”We're all colleagues. What would you like to know?”

He didn't ask the purpose of the Secret-searching Nark.

”I came to kill Wolf King,” Meng Qi said matter-of-factly as if he was speaking of a trivial matter.

”Kill Wolf King?” Old Wuen was stunned, not sharing Meng Qi's calmness.

He stared at the mustached young man in front of him as if he was looking at a monster.

Did he not know Wolf King? Right now, Wolf King was first place on the Ranking List of Young Masters!

Wolf King's murder of many grassland masters had aroused public indignation. However, to this day, no one could do anything to him. In the past, there were even Exterior masters of the tribe who had tried finding him but failed!

He could escape and dodge attacks quickly. That alone was enough of a challenge for people, let alone his strength.

Did this young man think it was easy to kill Wolf King?

Meng Qi smiled. ”Yes. Will you please help me find him? He's on the arrest writ list of Six Fan School.”

The reason Wolf King had been recorded in the arrest writ was precisely due to his murdering of the Great Jin Dynasty masters.

”If it was so easy to find him, he'd have been killed over a hundred times.” Old Wuen frowned and shook his head.

Meng Qi nodded, completely in agreement. He had received detailed information about Wolf King from the former rat that included most of the names of his victims, the time and location of their murders, their strength at time of death, as well as their backgrounds. The information merely suggested that Wolf King had killed at random without a specific direction. The strengths of his victims ranged from low to high. It was difficult to find out the potential reasoning for his actions if Meng Qi didn't take enough time to analyze them.

The only thing they could learn was that Wolf King would lose his bloodlust for those weaker than him after increasing his power. But he still killed a few of them as if he had killed them incidentally.

If there was no any way to chase after Wolf King, Meng Qi had to take the risk to draw Wolf King out to attack him. However, Wolf King must be sensitive to danger to have survived to this day. Perhaps he couldn't come out at this time but waited with patience. He might make a sudden attack to kill Meng Qi when his strength had broken through enough to be perfect.

”Do you have any information about Wolf King?” Meng Qi sincerely looked at Old Wuen, who was a Turf Lord on the grassland.

After thinking about it for a while, Old Wuen said, ”I don't have any more information at the moment, but perhaps others do.”

”Who?” Meng Qi asked hopefully, wondering who on earth would truly have a clue.

Old Wuen replied quietly, ”Wolf King had killed many grassland martial artists, most of them being talented young men with extraordinary strength. Some were the sons of the tribe nobles and disciples of famous martial artists. So their families and friends wanted to avenge their deaths.”

”The people who hated him most had secretly established the Wolf-slaying League to get in touch with each other, exchange information, and kill Wolf King. They spread all over the grasslands, so maybe they know more about his whereabouts.”

”Wolf-slaying League...” It was the first time that Meng Qi had heard of this organization.

Old Wuen sighed. ”I don't know much about the organization, only several of its members. If you're interested in joining, I can introduce them to you. But I don't know if you'll be in danger after joining them.”

Meng Qi thought for a little while and saluted him. ”Please introduce them to me!”

He spoke decisively and without the least bit of hesitation.
