Chapter 91 News

  The man yelled wildly and rushed forward at a rapid pace, his expression extremely excited.

  Qin Hao originally wanted to stop him and ask what was going on, but the man's actions at this moment were no different from those of a mad bull, with white air seeming to emanate from his nose, his mouth agape, and his eyes glowing. Who would dare to stop him in such an abnormal state?

  Qin Hao dodged to the side, then quickly caught up, hanging not far behind him. What surprised Qin Hao was that the number of people who made the same move as him was unexpectedly large.

  Qin Hao watched as the man turned every corner, and the number of people chasing him increased by hundreds. By the time they reached the last few streets, a large group of martial artists followed closely behind, their momentum was frightening. There were those who ran wildly in the streets, those who jumped quickly from rooftop to rooftop, and all sorts of ways to advance.

  Qin Hao secretly wiped away a cold sweat, if this momentum was really related to Long Ao Tian, then Qin Hao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.

  The man's speed gradually slowed down, and he stopped at a very luxurious tavern, facing the crowd. The others also stopped following him. Qin Hao looked around, the crowd was bustling, pushing and shoving each other, it was very lively.

  The man's eyes swept around in a circle, and he smiled, then opened his mouth to loudly ask: "Does everyone know about Long Ao Tian's situation?"

  As soon as he drank it, the crowd that was discussing and arguing earlier suddenly stopped, nodded in unison, and Qin Hao looked at them with surprise.

  "Long Ao Tian appeared in this city several months ago and had some conflicts with the Hunting Alliance. The Hunting Alliance sent hundreds of people to besiege him, but so far there has been no result. And every ten days, a Condensed Image Stone would appear in many places in Hei Yan City, recording the scenes where the Hunting Alliance suffered losses."

  The man said, flipping his palm over, a crystal stone appeared in the center of his hand: "This just appeared today. Everyone take a look, and then you can go into this tavern to place your bets, guessing when the Hunting Alliance will catch him."

  The man finished speaking and pointed behind him at the wine shop. Qin Hao secretly smiled in his heart, this move to get business was quite interesting.

  The man poured a thread of mysterious energy into it, and the crystal stone lit up. A cluster of soft light rose into the air, jumping around in the void, gradually condensing, and finally transformed into a light screen.

  Qin Hao's eyes were fixed tightly, with a hint of expectation in his heart. Whether or not he could get news about Pangzi depended on what situation would appear in the Condensing Image Stone.

  On the light screen, it was originally a foggy scene, and the scenery couldn't be seen clearly. Only as the man's vital energy poured in, the scene on the light screen gradually became clear.

  "I stand there, and that is the pinnacle."

  A loud roar, like a spring thunderclap, swept across the scene, making everyone's eardrums ache. A smile involuntarily appeared on Qin Hao's face; he could be sure that this voice and tone absolutely belonged to that fatty.

  The figure on the light screen became completely clear, and all that could be seen was the fat man in the light screen facing everyone with an arrogant expression: "I said that if you want to play with me, the Hunting Alliance, don't you also need to send some powerful people? It's not a good thing to always use cannon fodder."

  The fatty held a whip in his hand, swinging it with a loud crackling sound. On the ground, he drew out one long mark after another.

  The fatty finished speaking and suddenly revealed a faint smile, his expression looked extremely "shy".

  Qin Hao saw the expression on Baozi's face and suddenly felt a very ominous premonition.

  Only then did the stout figure of Pang slowly move aside, revealing three warriors standing behind him.

  Those three warriors were all stripped bare, hanging from the branches with vines tied in a bulging manner. On each of the three warriors' faces, a seal was fixed with a rope. The seal confirmed that it was undoubtedly the emblem of the Hunting Alliance.

  The fat man swung his whip, drawing a beautiful arc, and struck it straight on the body of a warrior. The sound of the whip striking flesh made people's teeth ache.

  Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  One after another, endless. The fat man was smoking and laughing with "flowers shaking", apparently extremely excited.

  "This fatty is too ruthless." A nearby martial artist sighed. The others nodded in agreement.

  It's all just talk, everyone is looking at them with admiration, where is the sympathy for those few people? Even some female warriors are watching with flushed faces, their faces red and hot, but their eyes haven't shifted for a moment.

  "This chubby kid is so adorable..."

  "How cute and chubby..."

  "I really hope he doesn't get caught by the Hunter's Guild."

  Fatty! Qin Hao's forehead was sweating, he quietly wiped away the cold sweat, his heart speechless. After a moment, the light screen dimmed and eventually dispersed. A group of martial artists kept discussing, their faces excited. Several scattered, but most rushed into the wine shop, presumably to place bets.

  Qin Hao suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed a martial artist who was walking past him. The martial artist had a dark complexion, extremely small eyes, and looked very cunning.

  "What are you holding me for?" the man shouted, his hands still waving as he tried to break free from Qin Hao's grip. "If you get me into trouble and I can't pay my debts, I won't let you off."

  Only Qin Hao's hand was grasped extremely tightly, and for a moment he couldn't break free. In a moment of urgency, his vital energy gathered, and with a punch, he swung it with great force towards Qin Hao's face.

  Qin Hao raised his left hand and lightly dissipated the attack, then grasped the man's fist. The man's face changed greatly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

  "There's no need to be so flustered." Qin Hao released his hand, holding a first-grade high-level mystic crystal, and tossed it over. The man hastily stretched out his hand to catch it.

  "Tell me, about what happened with Long Ao Tian just now, this Xuan Jing is yours."

  "Alright." The man's face was filled with smiles: "As soon as I saw that you were a senior, I knew you were an extraordinary person. Since you've given me orders, how could I dare not follow?"

  The joy in the young man's heart was not fake. Just now, he had used all his strength to strike, but the person in front of him had easily blocked it, and he knew how big the gap between them was. He acknowledged that if the young man in front of him wanted to cause trouble, he would be powerless to resist. Now that nothing had happened, he could still earn a Xuan Crystal by saying a few words, and this filled him with wild joy.

  "Tell me in detail." Qin Hao's tone was flat.

  "Good." The man nodded and bowed, hastily saying: "That Long Ao Tian entered the Hunting Alliance a few months ago. At first, he joined the Hunting Alliance, but later on, something happened between him and the Hunting Alliance, causing him to leave. The Hunting Alliance initially sent over a dozen disciples to capture him, but the next day, all of those dozen or so people were stripped clean and hung from the eaves of over a dozen wine shops in this city.

  "What's next?" Qin Hao rubbed his slightly aching brow. This approach was undoubtedly Fatso's style.

  According to what he knew, Fatso had revealed that he was once hung up and beaten by someone, leaving a shadow. In Fatso's logic, this method was the best way to transfer the shadow.

  "Then." The man smiled: "The number of hunters from the Hunting Alliance has been increasing, but each time they return empty-handed. In the end, even the disciples of the last three cities' hunting alliance were summoned to stay in this city and carry out large-scale encirclement, but still often suffered losses. Every ten days or so, a scene like the one with the condensed image stone would occur. Those warriors who fell into Long Ao Tian's hands, he either whipped them or dripped hot oil on them."

  Qin Hao only felt a splitting headache. Fatso was doing this, directly slapping the face of Lie Meng, no wonder Lie Meng made such a big fuss. If he wasn't caught like this, it would be impressive.

  "What was that just now?" Qin Hao thought of the excited expressions on everyone's faces earlier and couldn't help but ask in puzzlement: "Why is Fatso so popular here?"

  "That's natural." The man suddenly let out a cold laugh, looked around, and then leaned his face close to Qin Hao's, saying in a low voice: "This hunting alliance, in this Blackstone City, who knows how many people are secretly scolding them. No matter what, as long as someone opposes the hunting alliance, no matter who it is, there will be people cheering for him."

  Qin Hao's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he asked in a low voice, "You're also a martial artist, right? Don't most martial artists want to join the Hunting Alliance?"

  "Hehe, wanting to join is not wrong, secretly scolding him is also not wrong." The man replied: "The benefits of joining the Hunter's Alliance are indeed many. However, in recent years, a wooden elder came to the Blackstone City branch, bringing with him an arrogant grandson and a group of domineering core disciples who bully others at will. Many people are resentful but dare not speak out due to their powerful influence."

  Qin Hao was silent, he had been in Lie Meng for several days and hadn't gone out to various places in the city. He didn't expect Lie Meng's reputation to be so bad.

  "What if we enter Wan Shou Gu now, can we find that person?" Qin Hao asked. This was currently Qin Hao's only concern.

  The man sized up Qin Hao with a suspicious expression and asked cautiously: "I don't know what the senior's relationship is with that person..."

  "You only need to answer me, can or cannot." Qin Hao's fingers snapped, and a few strands of mysterious energy coiled and jumped around his hand like a spirit snake.

  "The young man in front of him was actually a Ling Xuan Wu Zhe." This thought flashed through the man's mind.

  His respectful intention became more and more obvious, and he bowed his head: "Yes. Now entering the Wan Beast Valley is impossible to find. The Hunting Alliance should also have received the same Condensed Image Stone, and it won't be long before they send warriors into the valley to search. Every ten days, this kind of situation will be staged, but that person's hiding skills are extremely deep, and when someone goes to capture him, he doesn't know where to hide. Seven or eight hundred people can't find him, let alone one person, the hope is slim."

  Qin Hao nodded after a moment of contemplation and threw another Xuan crystal at him: "Thank you, you can leave now."

  The man took the crystal and stole a glance at Qin Hao, then quickly lowered his head. He cupped his hands together and squeezed through the crowd, quickly entering the wine shop.

  Qin Hao walked aimlessly forward, feeling a sense of helplessness in his heart. If he were to enter the valley now, he should not be able to find Baozi. With people surrounding him, wouldn't he hide himself tightly?

  Missed today, and had to wait another ten days for his news. For a moment, Qin Hao really didn't know what to do.

  As he pondered, the uniform footsteps came from all directions on the streets, and the ground was shaking. Many people dodged to one side, and Qin Hao also stood under a roof.

  A large group of warriors, running from all directions, gathered on the main street in the city and ran towards the city gate. The warriors were dressed in white armor, with swords at their waists and animal skin boots on their feet. On the chest of their armor, two crossed swords were embroidered, looking extremely sharp.

  The warriors' faces were cold and calm, their footsteps steady, and their momentum was quite extraordinary. They ignored the pedestrians around them, only looking forward, constantly heading towards the outskirts of the city.

  Is this really the true disciple of Lie Meng?

  Qin Hao had a plan in mind. It seemed that the regular residents of the Hunting Alliance branch were just nominal warriors, while the true core was strictly separated from those nominal warriors.

  Just then, thinking of what that person had said earlier, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that this Blackstone City branch was indeed extremely arrogant and overbearing, and not well-liked by others.

  If they have enough strength, being overbearing is not a big deal, which strong person doesn't have some temper? But a large group of martial artists being toyed with by the fatty, this shows that their strength is not enough to support their overbearingness.

  It seems like it's better to go back and remove this name after all.

  Thinking of this, Qin Hao turned around a few streets and headed back in the direction he came from. As he walked, Qin Hao was constantly thinking about his plans for the future. The Wan Shou Valley was an opportunity waiting to be seized, and now that he had enough Xuanjing, he could create a seal array to enhance his combat power; although the map of Wan Shou Valley was not detailed, as long as he didn't venture too deep, it shouldn't be a problem to stay safe.

  Halfway through his calculations, Qin Hao's shoulder was suddenly bumped by someone. He looked up to see a martial artist wearing a white robe. The martial artist seemed to be in an extremely hurry and didn't stop after bumping into Qin Hao, merely uttering an apology before rushing frantically into a nearby building.

  Qin Hao's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he looked in the direction he was rushing towards, and with one glance, his heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat astonished.

  "Mysterious Gate." These were the words engraved on the sign hanging in front of the building.

  The mysterious gate, according to Qin Hao's information, should be in the sect of Rocky City. Rocky City and Blackstone City are thousands of miles apart, how can it appear here?

  Xuán Yuán Gate can be said to be a sect with a reputation far and wide. In terms of strength, it may not be comparable to Fēng Huá Sect, but in terms of prestige and deterrent power, it is not inferior at all.

  The reason is simple, the most tragic Tianxuanwu in history was just too famous. A Tianxuanwu who was too arrogant and was eventually bullied to death by thousands of sealed arrays, who in their own country hasn't heard of it?

  And the sect that abolished Tianxuan is Yinxuan Sect. Its sect master is a three-stage peak array master, who created the three-stage peak Xuanxin Array, with a power comparable to a full-strength blow from a true Xuan tenth-stage peak martial artist exhausting all their strength. Who wouldn't be intimidated by such an ability? Who wouldn't rush to fawn on them?

  Qin Hao abruptly stopped in his tracks, turned around and walked towards the interior of the building. He was also very curious about this mysterious gate.
