The white-haired elder was at a loss whether to laugh or cry; he had thought it was an enemy seeking revenge and believed he might die here this time. However, unexpectedly, they were asking about entities related to the forces in the barbaric land of East Lake. "Friend... I am at Xuanse Lake... how would I... know about East Lake’s affairs." Despite the elder speaking with difficulty, Wen Ping did not let the Evil Spirit Knight release his grip. Having said that, Wen Ping wanted to leave. Just as Wen Ping expected, the elder called out to Wen Ping when the Evil Spirit Knight’s grip tightened abruptly. That feeling of desperately grasping at the last straw to survive was apparent. However, Wen Ping did not call off the Evil Spirit Knight. The Evil Spirit Knight had already flipped the elder over entirely, pressing his face toward the burning blue flames of the Evil Spirit Knight’s eye socket; a further move would mean certain death. "I know! I know!" The white-haired elder struggled, shouting hysterically. He was not in the mood to be shocked by whatever was grabbing him; he only knew he was likely to die. To die while holding onto information related to entities in a barbaric land was not worth it to him. Only then did Wen Ping call off the Evil Spirit Knight. Wen Ping waved a hand again, allowing the Evil Spirit Knight to let him go. Once the white-haired elder felt his throat loosen, he eagerly said, "There’s only one thing related to the Immortal Sect—Elder Tianchen once brought back a person from the Immortal Sect, a middle-aged man. Because Elder Tianchen specifically instructed everyone not to kill him but to torture him, I vividly remember this incident." "Where is that person?" Indeed, the information Biyue Piaoling had gathered matched this. The white-haired elder quickly replied, "He was assigned to the sect’s menial labor office a year ago. If you want to find him, I can go back and check the registry of the sect’s menial disciples for you." "Forget it, you might as well die." Wen Ping had nothing more to say to a cunning old man who liked to play tricks. Only death can make them forget their scheming and their little cleverness. "He’s at Deqing Square!" "Where’s Deqing Square?" "Deqing Square is a market under Iron Mountain Pavilion, located in the east of the city," the white-haired elder blurted out. Upon hearing this, Wen Ping’s heart skipped a beat but quickly calmed down, "Why does an Inner Sect Steward like you know this matter so well? Forget it, since you like being perfunctory, I can only kill you and then catch others from Iron Mountain Pavilion tomorrow to ask." Wen Ping’s cold gaze swept past him, making the elder’s hair stand on end. "I am not lying... because Elder Tianchen commanded that if anyone caused him to lose limbs or have life-threatening situations, all stewards would die with him." "Who is this Elder Tianchen?" The words of Elder Tianchen did not sound good to Wen Ping. It’s as if Roman slaves were about to be thrown into the arena; as long as the slaves weren’t crippled or killed before entering the arena, they could be tortured however wished. It has to be said, things are becoming increasingly complex. He can’t deduce any clues using intellect now. But one thing he can be sure of is that his father is the one disrespectfully disregarded, neither respected by his mother’s family nor by Iron Mountain Pavilion, currently amidst dire straits. He, as the son, must rescue him! The white-haired elder continued, "The Second Elder of Iron Mountain Pavilion, a Mountain Suppression Realm expert... It was all his doing; it actually had nothing to do with us; we just followed orders." Now he firmly believes the person before him is related to the man Elder Tianchen brought in, perhaps just using him as bait. Otherwise, why would there be so many requests that he cannot be maimed or killed? But before Wen Ping could speak, he spoke again, "I can take Young Master to find him; just a question would reveal his residence... just pray Young Master allows me to live a bit longer." Although bringing him along seems unwise, it might cause additional trouble, but now he indeed needs him. After all, he can’t directly storm into that market to forcibly rescue his father. The Evil Spirit Knight can conceal itself, making itself invisible to anyone, thus by having the Evil Spirit Knight hold him, he should not dare to act recklessly, putting his life at stake to play tricks. Updates are released by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩 Tonight, Mountain and Sea City suddenly experienced an unusual wind; people from Iron Mountain Pavilion were constantly patrolling the streets, practically conducting house-to-house searches. Even the Three-star Influence was searched! Because an Iron Mountain Pavilion steward was kidnapped on the street and remains uncertain if they are alive or dead. Naturally, the prime suspects being searched, are those least likely but the most likely to hide enemies—the gathering places of the upper echelons of the Three-star and higher large influences. "Iron Mountain Pavilion even called out the Elder’s Golden Order, forcibly searching the Three-star Influence, has something major happened?" After being searched, the Divine Profound Realm masters walked onto the streets, following the people from Iron Mountain Pavilion. As the places searched increased, there were no fewer than a dozen Divine Profound Upper Realm masters gathered on the streets. They discussed and questioned the actions of Iron Mountain Pavilion. "Kidnapping an Inner Sect Steward from Iron Mountain Pavilion in broad daylight, that guy really pissed off Iron Mountain Pavilion, half the city is sealed by them, seems like they won’t rest until they find the reason." "After all, during ’Ascending Dragon Day,’ with so many outsiders here, if word gets out, Iron Mountain Pavilion would become a laughing stock... An Inner Courtyard Elder kidnapped in their own territory, leaving no face whatsoever... only not sure if they’ll search Master H Lan’s residence." The crowd exchanged glances and then unanimously headed towards Master H Lan’s residence, just in time to see a Divine Profound Realm expert knocking on the door. When the servant opened the vermillion gate, the people from Iron Mountain Pavilion did not enter. When H Lan came out, people from Iron Mountain Pavilion merely issued a warning and left. The Divine Profound Realm figures were not surprised since they expected this result. When H Lan returned inside, the lady seemed very interested in the event. "I don’t know who’s audacious enough to abduct Elder Bai from Iron Mountain Pavilion in broad daylight." "To cause such disturbance during ’Ascending Dragon Day,’ isn’t that person openly challenging Iron Mountain Pavilion?" "Yes, after all, Iron Mountain Pavilion locked down this area, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving. But I feel since that person managed to abduct someone in broad daylight, they might have already left Mountain and Sea City... Sleep, it doesn’t concern us." Saying this, H Lan blew out the candle. Meanwhile, Wen Ping was already in Deqing Square! The white-haired elder walked ahead, Wen Ping following closely behind on a rarely trodden chilly street. However, the shops on both sides were still open, faint candlelight glowing. Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.
