After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 554: Meeting Qiao Hongjun again, is it related to the Zhao family?
"Shh, shh, shh!"

Chen Yang didn't dare to be careless as he didn't see the system's prompt that the hunting was successful. He shot out several more arrows.

"Pfft..."

Arrows carrying coffin nails pierced one after another.

"Moo!"

The big red bull, which had been motionless, suddenly raised its neck and let out a mournful roar towards the sky.

The presence of the coffin nails and the iron pestle completely suppressed the evil energy in its body.

Even if it wanted to mobilize the evil energy in its body and detonate it directly, dying together with Chen Yang, there was no possibility of that happening.

The evil energy was completely sealed within its body.

Life is slipping away rapidly.

The red hair on its body dimmed and quickly faded to black, and its head, which was raised high, also quickly lowered itself.

He roared, as if all his strength had been drained away.

……

"Ding, mission completed. Hunted the A-level evil spirit [Zodiac Ox], and was rewarded with [Delusion-Breaking Pill]*1. The item has been placed in the system warehouse and can be used at any time."

……

The message that the mission was completed arrived as promised. Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and put away the Eclipse Bow.

The giant bull's body began to shrink, and its flesh and blood shriveled up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the zodiac ox dies, the evil energy in its body is controlled by the evil-suppressing objects and cannot be vented outwards, so it can only collapse and shrink inwards, forming a evil energy bead.

Chen Yang had experienced this before, so he was not surprised.

When the giant bull's body stopped changing, Chen Yang stepped forward, cut open its skin with the Chixiao Sword, found the evil bead, and took it out.

It was wrapped in a ball of yellow mud and put into the system space.

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment about the remaining remains, but still did not touch them.

After all, we have to give an explanation to the headquarters.

Otherwise, if the cow is not found alive and the body is not found after death, it will be difficult to explain when the time comes.

The giant bull had lost its flesh and blood, leaving only a layer of dry shell, weighing only a few dozen kilograms. For Chen Yang, carrying it was no big deal.

After finishing everything, Chen Yang went straight back the way he came.

Since he was in Mixian Gou, he took the opportunity to check the place out carefully.

After searching around, I still couldn't find any information about He Shiwu.

……

The way back was much easier. In the deep mountains and forests, there was no fear of being discovered. Chen Yang sometimes ran on the ground and sometimes jumped onto branches and ran wildly.

It took almost two hours, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yang returned to Pangpoling.

In the forest of the zodiac sign of Ox, many people were busy.

Qiao Hongjun also arrived in person.

He had been to Longmen Mountain before and finally found the hiding place of the Zodiac Dragon, but he was still too late. After receiving the report from Zhang Zhaoyun, he hurriedly brought his men to Pangpoling.

Also traveling with them were three high-ranking monks from Baoguo Temple who had reached the realm of creation.

Originally, Zhang Zhaoyun and his team were only responsible for exploration, so they did not bring any experts with them. Who could have thought that they would encounter such a thing.

After half a day's work, 60 Tai Sui cows had been dug out. Qiao Hongjun and three senior monks worked together to strangle them directly in the jar.

The Tai Sui evil spirit is dead, but there is still a lot of evil spirit energy sealed in the jar. All of this energy needs to be brought back to Baoguo Temple for salvation and resolution.

Zhang Zhaoyun and the others recovered after taking the antidote.

The situation had been reported to Qiao Hongjun long ago, and they had searched everywhere. The gang that had stolen the gods and demons had been found in the woods. They were all unconscious and were escorted back to Baoguo Temple.

However, the woman that Zhang Zhaoyun and the others mentioned was not found, nor was Chen Yang found.

At present, they can only wait and see if Chen Yang will send back any news.

Qiao Hongjun directed everyone to pack the cans one by one and transport them away. The convoy was already full of cars parked at Pangpo Village at the foot of the mountain.

"Mr. Qiao."

Qin Zhou came to Qiao Hongjun and said, "Chen Yang called and said that the zodiac ox has been dealt with."

"Oh? What about people?"

When Qiao Hongjun heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

Qin Zhou said, "He's on his way back, he should be here soon."

Qiao Hongjun nodded. He originally wanted to go down the mountain, but after hearing this, he decided to wait a little longer.

……

About half an hour later, a figure appeared in the woods.

It was Chen Yang.

"Mr. Qiao."

Chen Yang walked straight towards Qiao Hongjun, and by the way, he also greeted Zhang Zhaoyun and several other monks of Baoguo Temple.

"You little brat! You ran so far without even calling to tell us." Qinzhou stepped forward and hit him.

Although I have confidence in Chen Yang's ability, I am still worried.

“There’s no signal in the mountains.”

Chen Yang shrugged and threw the corpse he was dragging behind him to the ground.

Zodiac sign: Ox.

After the corpse shrank, it became smaller, with skin covering the bones, looking very strange.

Chen Yang said to Qiao Hongjun, "That woman is quite capable. She fled all the way to Daqi Mountain. It took me a lot of effort to catch her..."

He told Qiao Hongjun what had happened, of course, it was half true and half false.

He deliberately deceived Wang Niandi into going to Daqishan, but turned it into Wang Niandi voluntarily escaping to Daqishan.

Afterwards, Chen Yang also briefly described the process of how he killed the evil spirit.

After listening to this, Qiao Hongjun didn't have any doubts.

Although it was a bit exaggerated and unrealistic for Chen Yang to kill this evil spirit, the body of the zodiac ox was already in front of him, so what was there to doubt?
"Are you okay?" Qiao Hongjun still showed some concern for him.

Chen Yang shook his head. "Although this thing is powerful, it is very reckless and has no rationality. It is not difficult to deal with it..."

Qiao Hongjun nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The Tai Sui gods and demons in the forest had all been packed up and shipped away, so the group went down the mountain together.

"Old Qiao, this woman is a sister of the one we met in the Bamianshan Underground Palace last time. One is called Wang Zhaodi and the other is called Wang Niandi. Moreover, this woman's realm is not weak. I'm afraid she is in the middle stage of the spiritual realm. In addition, before she died, she mentioned Guhuai Village. She said that her master was from Guhuai Village..."

On the way down the mountain, Chen Yang walked behind Qiao Hongjun and chatted with him.

There were some things he still had to mention. Xiao Sanhuai had the background of the Ganshan Association, so he just mentioned them briefly. What Qiao Hongjun thought was his business.

Qiao Hongjun was obviously stunned when he heard this.

"Are you sure she is talking about Guhuai Village?" After a moment, Qiao Hongjun asked in a deep voice.

Chen Yang nodded firmly, "I'm not that deaf, so she can't be wrong. She said her master was from Guhuai Village, but she didn't say the other person's name. Just like Wang Zhaodi last time, she was quickly corroded into a pool of pus. I think the other party must have left some tricks on them..."

Qiao Hongjun frowned, his expression very serious.

Chen Yang didn't say much. He should know who Chen Yang was suspecting. At this point, he had already made it clear.

After taking a deep breath, Qiao Hongjun said, "Xiao Chen, come with me to the association later and report today's events."

"it is good."

……

-

Shao'e City, Mountain Hunting Association.

Although Wang Niandi died, all the people she brought with her were arrested.

When Qiao Hongjun and his team found them, all the people had been knocked unconscious by the Weasel King in the woods.

Including the man wearing a mask, he was also found unconscious in a woods two miles away from the scene of the incident.

At this moment, these people have gradually regained consciousness and are being temporarily detained in the association and are being interrogated.

On the second floor of the association, in Wang Yuanchao’s office.

Chen Yang recounted what happened today, and Qiao Hongjun asked someone to take notes. These were the information to be reported after returning.

"Xiaoyang, don't make what you said today public yet." Qiao Hongjun reminded him. "Understood."

Chen Yang nodded.

After all, this matter involves Xiao Sanhuai, whose identity is quite sensitive.

"Mr. Qiao, if it is really related to that person, how will you deal with it?" Chen Yang asked again.

Qiao Hongjun paused, then shook his head. "If it is really related to him, the association will definitely not tolerate it. However, it is not my turn to decide how to deal with it. I have to listen to the arrangements above..."

After a pause, he said, "For this kind of thing, evidence is needed. His identity is there. Without solid evidence, we can't touch him..."

Wang Niandi is already dead, so there is no evidence. It is impossible to accuse him of a crime based on just one sentence from Chen Yang.

Chen Yang said, "Didn't they arrest some people? The young man following Wang Nian-di may have entered the spiritual realm. You should investigate him carefully. He should know something."

Wang Yuanchao said, "They are all small fry who know nothing. The identity of that young man is a descendant of the Zhao family in Luoshan, named Zhao Mingjie. He is also very tight-lipped and refuses to say anything. I have notified the Zhao family to come and explain..."

Luoshan Zhao family?

Chen Yang was slightly stunned. How did this matter involve the Zhao family of Luoshan?

"Humph."

Qiao Hongjun said, "No matter which family he belongs to, and no matter how stubborn he is, we must pry his mouth open..."

There was a hint of anger on his face.

It would have been fine if he had just pretended to be a commissioner of the association, but he actually dared to attack Zhang Zhaoyun. He knew that the association would send people to investigate the matter, but he still dared to commit the crime in defiance of the law. It was simply a slap in the face of Qiao Hongjun.

How could he not be angry? He really didn't take the Panshan forces in Shu seriously. How dare the Zhao family, a mere family, get involved in this matter? Qiao Hongjun also wanted to know what kind of explanation the Zhao family would give him.

The association has many means of inquiry. As long as Zhao Mingjie is still alive, there is no need to worry about not being able to pry open his mouth.

……

"It's been a while since we last met, Xiaoyang. It seems like your cultivation has improved a lot?"

While waiting for the interrogation results, Qiao Hongjun and Chen Yang chatted about family matters.

The shock Chen Yang brought to him was not small.

Although he couldn't see Chen Yang's specific realm clearly, his intuition told him that Chen Yang had become much stronger than the last time he went on an expedition to the underground palace.

How did this boy practice?
He can actually kill the zodiac ox by himself. This ability is definitely not something that an ordinary spiritual person can do.

Even if one is at the ordinary level of Creation, he probably wouldn't dare to face these gods and demons head-on. Even if it were him, he wouldn't be sure of winning against such gods and demons, and he would have to call on a few fellow practitioners to give him courage.

"It's all thanks to Master Qiao's teaching last time. Without his help, I would probably still be stuck in the early stage of the spiritual realm." Chen Yang smiled, and his words were somewhat suspected of flattery.

Qiao Hongjun did benefit a lot from it, but he also knew that he had to pass on his skills to Chen Yang last time. However, it was not so easy to use the true energy that Chen Yang passed on for his own benefit.

Therefore, in his eyes, Chen Yang did have a strong talent for cultivation.

Qiao Hongjun was about to say something when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He took out his cell phone and looked at it, then frowned.

After hesitating for a moment, he didn't answer the phone, letting the ring continue.

However, after the ringing stopped, it rang again immediately.

Qiao Hongjun's expression changed a little, and he seemed very impatient. He apologized to Chen Yang and others and walked out.

Chen Yang was sitting next to him and could clearly see that the caller ID showed the words "Master's Wife".

Master's wife?

Who else could it be? It’s probably Fang Xueting.

After a while, Qiao Hongjun returned to the office, but the depressed look on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

"Mr. Qiao, what's wrong?" Chen Yang asked curiously.

Qiao Hongjun gave a helpless smile, "My sister-in-law knows that I came to Shu, so she is looking for trouble for me, asking me to help find her father..."

"Oh?"

Wang Yuanchao's eyes moved slightly, "Mrs. Xiao's father? What happened?"

"They said he was missing and couldn't be contacted. Some time ago, it seemed that he had some conflicts with Tiefo Mountain. Fang Jinyao and Fang Jinyu came to Shu, and then we lost contact..." said Qiao Hongjun.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but look at Chen Yang.

He knew a little about this matter.

Not long ago, Guan Meiqi actually informed the headquarters about this matter, and Qiao Hongjun should also be aware of it.

But in fact, what Guan Meiqi reported was the feud between Chen Yang and Murong Qian of the Gu God Cult.

Fang Jinyao and his gang also ran to Si'e Mountain. Only Wang Yuanchao and his gang knew about this, but it was not reported.

When Qiao Hongjun mentioned this matter, Wang Yuanchao felt a little worried for Chen Yang.

Although he didn't know what happened on Mount Si'e that day, Chen Yang and his group came down, but Fang Jinyao and his group did not. Now they said they had lost contact, so the result was not difficult to guess.

Huangqi Mountain and Tiefo Mountain, the four powerful men in the realm of creation, are probably all dead on Si'e Mountain.

As for how they disappeared, no one knows, but there is no doubt that as the person involved, Chen Yang must know it, and he is also a considerable suspect.

If this matter were to come to light, it would be a huge trouble for Chen Yang.

After all, these two factions are quite powerful, and behind Huangqishan is Zixia Temple. If Zixia Temple is offended, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wang Yuanchao knew the seriousness of the matter, so he changed the subject. He laughed dryly and said, "This Madam Xiao is indeed a bit too much. Elder Qiao came here for important matters. How can he waste time on such a small matter? Senior Fang is a powerful person in the Creation Realm. What could go wrong..."

Qiao Hongjun nodded slightly.

He is now very annoyed with this woman. She often comes to him for trivial matters and almost treats him like a servant.

However, this situation cannot last long. This woman has recently contracted a strange disease and has body odor. Xiao Jianfeng can no longer stand her and he is sure that he will kick her out at any time.

At this time, Liu Jianguo walked in.

"Did you ask?"

Wang Yuanchao looked at him. He was still very confident in Liu Jianguo's interrogation methods.

Don't be fooled by his kind appearance, that's just an appearance. Even the most stubborn prisoner will cry for mercy after being treated with his needlework.

Liu Jianguo nodded slightly and sat down next to him. "He said something, but this kid doesn't know much. Half a year ago, the Gu God Cult began to contact the Zhao family. The Zhao family's two elders, Zhao Xiuwen and Zhao Junyong, have secretly joined the Gu God Cult. They have received gifts from the Gu God Cult and have been in seclusion for several months. They are trying to reach the realm of creation..."

"This Wang Nian Di came to Luoshan just a month ago. It seems that there are more than one person who came with him. He must have been assigned by someone to find the whereabouts of the Tai Sui Chao Tian Bureau. From the current point of view, he is not the same group as Murong Qian and the others..."

"But it is certain that they are all the power of Raojiang, and they are closely related to the Gushen Cult. However, this kid does not know the specific identity of the person behind this..."

Liu Jianguo briefly summarized the situation.

"Are you really not clear, or are you pretending not to be clear?" asked Qiao Hongjun.

Liu Jianguo smiled bitterly, "This guy looks tough, but he's actually useless. I haven't even used half of my acupuncture skills, and he's already finished them. There's no need to hide anything."

He is very confident.

Chen Yang said, "I know a little bit about hypnosis, would you like me to try it?"

Liu Jianguo waved his hand. "After my acupuncture treatment, he is almost mentally collapsed. If I hypnotize him again, I am afraid he will not be able to hold on. After all, he is a member of the Zhao family. If he dies here, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain..."

Wang Yuanchao said, "I have already notified Zhao Xiangdong. When the Zhao family arrives, let's listen to their explanation."

Qiao Hongjun nodded.

……

After that, it seemed that Chen Yang had nothing to do. Qiao Hongjun and others went to the meeting without bringing Chen Yang. Qin Zhou was like a transparent person and was very bored. So the two of them left Baoguo Temple directly.

Chen Yang didn’t really care what Qiao Hongjun and his team could find out, whether they could find out the person behind Wang Niandi, or whether that person was Xiao Sanhuai.

After all, he had already identified Xiao Sanhuai as a suspect.

"I didn't expect that it could be linked to the Zhao family. Hasn't the Zhao family always had little presence?"

Chen Yang was driving the car.

There is really no intersection between him and the Zhao family of Luoshan.

Among the eight veins of Panshan, it seems that the Zhao family and the Tong family are the most low-key. He has met a Tong Xin from the Tong family, but as for the Zhao family, although Luoshan is very close to Lingjiang, he has never met them for such a long time.

No, it’s not that I have never had any contact with him.

The Zhao Guanshan that I met at Ebei Mountain, although abandoned by the Zhao family in his early years, he could still be considered a member of the Zhao family, right?
"Old man, have you ever come into contact with the Zhao family? I heard that the Zhao family is small and all of them are elites..."

Chen Yang talked to himself.

After talking for a long time, Qinzhou didn't reply.

Looking back, Qinzhou was staring at the road ahead in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chen Yang's voice suddenly increased by several decibels.
