An old man looked in the direction of the Feng family and said with emotion, "The Feng family must have suffered a great loss, otherwise they wouldn't be so crazy. But it is said that the royal family has appointed a new city lord and commander, and they should be here to take office soon."
As an elder of Nanyan Ancient City, the old man is very familiar with the Feng family's style of doing things. What can make the Feng family so crazy is definitely not a trivial matter.
"I hope the new city lord will take office as soon as possible, otherwise life will be unbearable."
Hearing the old man's words, the practitioners nearby sighed and hoped that the new city lord would take office as soon as possible so that the days of searching the city every other day would end soon.
While the Feng family members were frantically searching the city and the practitioners in Nanyan Ancient City were complaining, the top leaders of the Feng family gathered in the meeting hall. Everyone's face was filled with gloom, as if their parents had died.
For the Feng family, the loss of the ancient phoenix essence was almost the same as the death of their parents.
Looking up, Feng Qingyang's eyes were bloodshot, with regret and anger mixed on his face. Because of the loss of the Ancient Phoenix Essence, he had been under tremendous pressure in the past two days.
The family leaders questioned his and Feng Wuji's decision to hide the ancient phoenix essence. Feng Wuji was already dead, so it was impossible to hold him accountable. All the responsibility fell on Feng Qingyang.
If the primary task at this time was not to find the ancient phoenix essence, it would not be appropriate to change the head of the family. He, as the head of the family, would probably have been dismissed by the top management of the Feng family long ago.
"Any news?"
Feng Qingyang looked at the middle-aged man not far away. This man was responsible for conveying family news. The family members who were responsible for the search would immediately inform him of any discoveries they made.
“Although we have discovered some suspicious people, after investigation, we found that except for those who have grudges against our Feng family, the others are all secret forces.” The middle-aged man said with a wry smile.
During the past two days of investigation, the Feng family did not get any useful information. Instead, many conflicts broke out due to the repeated searches of the city. After all, not everyone would give the Feng family face, and the Feng family offended many people for this. If they had not already agreed with the city guards that the city guards would not interfere with them, their search of the city would probably have been stopped long ago.
But even so, the repeated searches of the city had the potential to arouse public anger. In order to find the ancient phoenix essence, the Feng family leaders no longer cared about so much. As long as the Feng family could continue to inherit and become stronger, these ordinary practitioners would not be taken seriously by the Feng family.
Hearing this, Feng Qingyang's face darkened and he continued to ask, "Is there any news from Wanxiang Building?"
Two days have passed. The person who took away the ancient phoenix essence may have fled from the vicinity of Nanyan Ancient City. The possibility of finding him nearby is extremely small. Although the Feng family is a first-rate force, it is nothing in the entire Zichen Continent. If you want to get more information, you can only do so through the intelligence network of Wanxiang Building.
"Wanxiang Building is currently analyzing the intelligence and is also stepping up efforts to collect relevant intelligence, but there is no news yet." The middle-aged man sighed.
Wanxiang Building is not omnipotent. There are many secret information that even Wanxiang Building cannot detect. However, Wanxiang Building can collect intelligence according to customer needs. This time, the Feng family deliberately collected information about the mysterious man at a high price.
"No news again!"
Feng Qingyang was furious. There was no news from the family, and there was no news from Wanxiang Tower either. The longer time dragged on, the slimmer the hope of recovering the Ancient Phoenix Essence. This was why the Feng family had frantically searched the city twice in the past two days.
"Master..." the middle-aged man said.
"What else?" Feng Qingyang asked with a grim expression.
This time, he lost the ancient phoenix essence, and he became the sinner of the entire Feng family. Now there is no news, and he is extremely angry. Even the last time he searched the city, it was Feng Qingyang who led the team personally. A cultivator who dared to resist was directly killed by him. Knowing that Feng Qingyang was in a state of wrath, even the children of the Feng family did not dare to offend him easily.
"Master, we have searched the city several times, and the practitioners in the city are already complaining. If this continues, I'm afraid..." the middle-aged man said softly.
"What are you afraid of? They are just a few jumping clowns. If they dare to resist, they will be killed directly." Feng Qingyang smiled coldly, as if he was not talking about human lives, but about ants.
“Ordinary practitioners are naturally nothing to be afraid of, but according to the information we have received, the royal family has sent a new city lord. We have already clashed with the city guards before. If the new city lord sees our Feng family being so unscrupulous, I’m afraid…” the middle-aged man said with a wry smile.
After all, the Feng family is just a family of cultivators in the Great Zhou Empire. Where can they put the Great Zhou royal family if they search the city one after another? It would be fine if the city lord had not yet taken office. If the city lord took office and saw the Feng family acting like this, what would he think of the Feng family
The Feng family might not be afraid in the past, because they were deeply rooted and powerful, and could always maintain the heritage of a first-class force. But now that they have lost the ancient phoenix essence, if the Feng family still behaves as before, they would be courting death!
"Feng Jiu is right. We haven't found any clues after searching the city for a long time. If we continue, I'm afraid there will be no results. We have to consider the future of our family." In the meeting hall, the senior members of the Feng family who had been silent agreed with the middle-aged man's words.
The ancient phoenix essence has been lost for two days, and the chance of finding it again is very low. The Feng family in the future will no longer have the foundation it once had. If the Feng family continues to act like this, it will probably be destroyed in no time.
Seeing that everyone agreed with Feng Jiu's proposal, Feng Qingyang nodded and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's end the city search after this one."
The Feng family must consider the future. Offending the royal family at this time will not benefit the Feng family at all.
"Master..." At this moment, Fengjiu spoke again.
"What happened again?"
Feng Qingyang said angrily, there was no good news at all, but bad news one after another, it would be strange if he didn't get angry.
"There's news from Wanxiang Tower." Fengjiu said hurriedly.
"What news?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Qingyang and other Feng family executives' faces changed and they hurriedly asked.
In the past two days, the hope of relying on the power of the Feng family to collect information about the mysterious man is slim. Most of the Feng family's hopes are placed on the Wanxiang Building.
"According to the information from Wanxiang Tower, the mysterious man should be Yang Qi's companion." Fengjiu said.
"No more?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
“No more.”
Fengjiu said with a wry smile.
"What kind of news is this?" Feng Qingyang's face was extremely ugly, and he asked, "Who is Yang Qi?"
“Yang Qi is a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, a one-star martial master, and he once killed the Holy Son of the Church of the God of Light and the Holy Sword Sect…” Feng Jiu began to introduce.
"Wait, you said the Church of Light?" Feng Qingyang's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly.
Fengjiu nodded.
"I remember that when we were heading to the remains of our ancestors, we met people from the Church of Light!" Feng Qingyang's face darkened, and his eyes lit up. "So, they should be here to track down Yang Qi. Maybe they have some news about Yang Qi!" (To be continued)
