Chapter 201: Dead Or Alive
Feng Qingya’s expression turned grave and solemn, although she appeared calm on the surface, her anger was already simmering beneath the surface, threatening to erupt at any moment.
She naturally knew that this attack was related to her.
In fact, it was likely targeting them.
But Feng Qingya didn’t care about that. Since they had paid to stay at the Spirit Sound Inn, the inn was responsible for ensuring the absolute safety of its guests.
This was a standard practice among all the major inns in Yunmeng City.
If they dared to open an inn of this scale in Yunmeng City, charging such high room rates, they should at least guarantee the safety of their guests.
No matter who was behind the attack, as long as the Spirit Sound Inn accepted guests, they had also taken on the responsibility.
So, even though Grandma Yinhua from Spirit Sound Valley felt annoyed and innocent, she didn’t dare refute Feng Qingya’s questioning.
“Miss Feng, please be assured that we, Spirit Sound Valley, have not experienced such a provocation in many years. This time, we will definitely investigate and give you a satisfactory explanation. As for your two friends, I have already arranged for people to search for them throughout the city. I guarantee to you, Miss Feng, that if they are alive, we will find them, and if they are dead, we will find their corpses!”
When Grandma Yinhua spoke, Feng Qingya’s expression turned even more solemn.But the other party’s attitude was already sincere, and she couldn’t continue to argue.
In this situation, she couldn’t demand anything, and the other party couldn’t guarantee that Su Jingzhen and Xuening were still alive.
So, at this point, Feng Qingya had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
If Su Jingzhen and Xuening were in trouble, she didn’t know how to face Dantai Mingjing and the Evil Moon Sect.
Her own life might be completely ruined, and it was uncertain whether she, Feng Qingya, would even exist in the future.
All she could do now was pray.
Before long, the ruins of the original Spirit Sound Inn were completely cleared out.
There weren’t many guests staying here tonight, only around a hundred or so.
Most of the people who could stay at the Spirit Sound Inn were cultivators with achievements, or those from noble families.
The two explosions had triggered the original restrictive array of the Spirit Sound Inn.
The energy impact and the collapse of the building had resulted in the direct deaths of around twenty people.
Most of them were cultivators in the Qi Refining stage or the early Foundation Establishment stage.
These people all had one thing in common: they were not strong, but they had high social status.
“This is the Second Miss of the High Family of Yunmeng City, Gao Yue.”
“This one…this one seems to be the Third Young Master of the Qi Cloud City, Qi Feng!”
“And this one, he has the badge of a Second-Rank Alchemist of the Alchemist Guild!”
“……!”
As the identities of the corpses were being recognized one by one, the faces of the high-ranking officials of Spirit Sound Valley turned green.
These people had powerful backers, and some even had members of the Alchemist Association among them.
If these powers were to come knocking on their door, even the master of Spirit Sound Valley would feel a sense of dread.
“Disaster…disaster ah!”
Many Golden Core cultivators of Spirit Sound Valley in the void were lamenting.
However, after all the dead bodies were identified, Feng Qingya and the old man’s expressions slightly relaxed.
As long as Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s corpses were not found, there was still hope.
As long as their deaths were not confirmed, it was the best news for them at the moment.
Grandma Yinhua, standing beside them, also let out a slight sigh of relief.
No matter if it was the High Family, Qi Cloud City, or the Alchemist Association, if they wanted to cause trouble for Spirit Sound Valley, it would be a later step.
If Su Jingzhen’s corpses were found on the spot, Feng Qingya would definitely lose her temper.
Once Feng Qingya lost her reason, Grandma Yinhua would have a hard time dealing with her, accompanied by the old man.
She immediately spoke to Feng Qingya, “Miss Feng, please be assured that I will give you an explanation about your two friends before dawn.”
“I hope Grandma can keep her promise.”
At this time, Feng Qingya’s tone had also calmed down a bit.
Their gaze then fell on the many cultivators gathered below.
The identities of the victims were basically all clear, and it was time for investigation.
Under the supervision of several Golden Core cultivators of Spirit Sound Valley, all cultivators within this range would have to undergo interrogation.
Whether they were survivors of the Spirit Sound Inn or onlookers, as long as they were within this area, they had to cooperate.
The cultivators of Spirit Sound Valley were furious, and anyone who dared not to cooperate would likely suffer on the spot.
However, the number of cultivators in this area was quite large, which naturally slowed down the efficiency.
…
As the investigation continued at the Spirit Sound Inn…
Meanwhile, in the Mingyue House…
“Bang!”
A beautifully crafted stone table was smashed to pieces by Feng Baozhao’s palm.
“Fools! Idiots! You’re as stupid as a pig!”
“Do I need to explain it to you again? Haven’t I made it clear enough?”
“Do you really need me to hold your hand and teach you what it means to seize an opportunity and keep a low profile?”
Feng Baozhao’s face was red with anger.
In front of him, Feng Mingyan and several other high-ranking members of the Feng family stood silently, their heads bowed, not daring to respond to Feng Baozhao’s words.
“Father, actually, this opportunity was quite large.”
“The first time we used the explosion talisman, we successfully attracted Mu Lao, and as a protector, he naturally had to go protect Feng Qingya.”
“Our target wasn’t Feng Qingya, but her two alchemist friends.”
“So when the second explosion talisman was triggered, Mu Lao didn’t protect them at all.”
“It’s just that those two reacted too quickly and escaped from the scene immediately.”
“But we’ve sent people to pursue them and have locked down their location.”
As Feng Mingyan spoke, his expression was subtly excited.
“So, although this time was a bit risky, we should be able to achieve our goal.”
“As long as those two die, Feng Qingya won’t have any room to resist.”
When Feng Baozhao heard this, his expression improved slightly.
But his eyebrows were still furrowed: “The explosion talsiman that destroyed the Spirit Sound Inn must be at least fourth-grade.”
“The source of the problem, who released it, these questions, if even one point is exposed, it can be traced back to our Feng family.”
“Don’t underestimate Spirit Sound Valley!”
As soon as Feng Baozhao spoke, Feng Mingyan smiled and said, “Father, don’t worry.”
“We wouldn’t make such low-level mistakes. Even if everyone knows it was us, Spirit Sound Valley won’t be able to produce any evidence.”
“Besides, Spirit Sound Valley has been at odds with our Feng family for a long time, so it’s no big deal if we offend them.”
As Feng Mingyan spoke, he seemed carefree and even a bit proud.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Baozhao slapped him with a loud smack.
