Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Chapter 312 Search

"Ancestor, we really don't remember, we really can't recall."

"Yes, Ancestor, we clearly saw him back then, but we can't remember what he looked like at all now."

"We were all staring at him then, but now—the memory is too blurry."

A group of sentries, some visible and some hidden, and the guards were all speaking in fear.

Luo Yurong was startled by what she saw.

Many of these sentries and guards are at the peak of the Star level (Ninth level of the Eternal Star level). Even a Cosmic-level mentalist would find it difficult to influence such experts without them noticing.

One must possess an extremely formidable control over mental power and consciousness to achieve such a level without even realizing it.

"When did such a master appear in my Fengyan main city?" Luo Yurong frowned and pondered.

"Even I can't achieve this level of control over mental energy. Could it be a domain lord-level mentalist/illusionist?"

"That's not right. If that were the case, he'd be even stronger than me. He could just barge in. Could it be that he's trying to hide his true face? Doesn't want to be discovered?"

Luo Yurong felt that he was no match for the domain lord, but he could still stall for time. Moreover, if the battle fluctuated too much, it would definitely be discovered by other experts.

"Listen up, all of you!"

Luo Yurong coldly looked at the group of high-ranking family members standing respectfully in the hall, "Our Luo Yu family's patriarch, despite the heavy security of our family residence, was directly taken away by someone, and his fate remains unknown. This is a disgrace to our Luo Yu family!"

"Remember! You must find this person, or my Luo Yu family will be secretly laughed at by countless people in Fengyan City!"

"Use all available resources, all the resources of our Luo Yu family, and search for them!"

"Investigate all suspicious individuals. The killer's strength is at least at the peak of the Heavenly Rank, and may even have reached the Domain Rank!"

"Investigate through all available channels and find out which unfamiliar, mysterious experts have appeared! Remember, even if you find them, don't take any action. Notify me immediately."

Luo Yurong looked at the group of people and said, "Even if Chong'er survives this time, he is not suitable to be the head of the family again. Your investigation of the murderer is my test for you."

"Whoever performs well this time, I will choose the new head of the family from among you after this reconnaissance is over."

"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now."

"yes!"

A group of high-ranking officials, their eyes shining, responded loudly in unison.

They immediately fled, their lives undaunted by the old man's words.

In order to become the next head of the family, these high-ranking members all brought out some of their hidden strengths.

Soon, various secret messages were discovered, and information about unfamiliar mysterious masters, or people suspected of being mysterious masters, was recorded.

The entire Peak Rock City began to boil with excitement.

The undercurrent is raging.

The next morning.

Rumble—

An army of 100,000 men clad in black scale armor surged forth like a dark cloud.

The leader was tall and burly, wearing deep red scale armor. He looked very similar to the lord of Peak Rock City, only with an added touch of ferocity.

He appeared even more savage.

"Hmph, what a piece of junk!"

Tianfeng Xiong sat atop a wild god named "Azure Armored Dragon," surveyed his surroundings, and spat out a mouthful of saliva in displeasure.

"That idiot Luo Yuchong has been taken to some unknown place and I have to help him catch him and find him."

"My brother is something else. He's the city lord, why does he care about these families? He even wants me to help him search!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid that bitch Luo Yuchong really didn't know which expert she offended. She was even arrested in her own mansion. It's truly gratifying." Tian Fengxiong chuckled softly.

The two lieutenants beside him couldn't help but shake their heads inwardly. Their general controlled the military power of the entire Fengyan City, but he acted recklessly and was the most outrageous pair of cronies with Luo Yuchong.

Now that Luo Yuchong has disappeared, his fate unknown, yet you're acting so happy, General, at least put on an act.

Moreover, they were in no hurry and waited until long after dawn before leisurely leading their troops to investigate.

"General, the Kou family is just ahead. They're one of the larger families in our Peak Rock City. Should we go in and investigate?"

"However, given how big a fuss the Kou family made recently, if they were the real culprit, they would have kept a low profile and wouldn't be here," a deputy said.

"Snapped!"

Tian Feng frowned, then slapped the deputy general across the face. The deputy general swayed and coughed up blood.

"Idiot." Tian Fengxiong glanced at him coldly. "I said it's the Kou family, so it is the Kou family."

"Can't you even put on a show? Are you really going to find a killer for the Luo Yu family?"

"I heard that Countess ...

The lieutenant nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter a sound.

"What an idiot. If he says something so rubbish again, I should replace him as my deputy."

"You're usually a pretty sensible person, did you bump your head and forget about it at home today?"

Tianfeng stroked his chin, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the Kou family's mansion in the distance.

"Go, now I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Bring out all the outside guests of the Kou family, as well as those you yourselves suspect are that expert. I want to see them all."

"Yes!" the beaten lieutenant shouted in response.

Kou Shi, inside a quiet pavilion.

Jiang Chen was wearing loose robes and reading a book. More than half the night had passed since the events of the previous night.

If calculated according to Earth time, two days have already passed.

"Luo Yuchong was only recently abandoned, and now the city is in a state of panic."

"However, they don't even know what I look like. Let's see how they find me."

"In a couple of days, we'll attack Tianfeng Xiong again tonight."

Jiang Chen read the book while planning his actions, multitasking with ease.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside, with shouts and cries.

"quick!"

"All of you, come out here!"

"My lord, it was General Tianfeng of Fengyan City who gave the order. Please go out and help us."

"Hurry up, everyone."

"What are those people over there doing? Hurry up."

A shout came from outside.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned. He had already guessed that Luo Yuchong's abduction would cause a great stir, but he didn't expect to find this Kou family so early in the morning.

Logically speaking, although the Kou family has not been in power for very long, they are already considered veterans of Peak Rock City. It is unexpected that they have come here now.

The footsteps outside grew louder and louder as they approached. Suddenly, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and more than ten soldiers rushed in.

Led by a servant, they were walking towards the pavilion. As soon as the servant rushed into the hall and saw Luo Feng, he exclaimed apologetically, "General Chen, General Tianfeng has ordered an investigation into the murderer. Please help us, sir!"

"It's you! Come out now!"

The soldiers rushed over and shouted at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to come out.
