Chapter 175: Eastern City Alliance Guards Cao Zuo

“Family Head, about the matter of refining Human Pills…”

The high-level Martial Commander cautiously raised his head and asked.

“Do I still need to teach you this?”

Ji Ge stared at the messenger Martial Commander with bloodshot eyes. “Are you all that useless!?”

“No… no!”

The high-level Martial Commander quickly bowed, “This subordinate understands, this subordinate knows what to do!”

“If you know, then why aren’t you getting out!?”

Ji Ge’s voice was chillingly cold. “Are you waiting for me to kill you?”

“Yes! Yes!”

The high-level Martial Commander trembled as he scrambled out of the study.

He knew that if he was even a step slow, Ji Ge would truly kill him, because he was genuinely such a cruel person!

After the high-level Martial Commander left, Ji Ge took a deep breath, trying to calm the rage in his heart.

At this moment, another Martial Commander arrived at the study door.

This Martial Commander was precisely the胖 one who had been tracking Ji Ruxue’s whereabouts on the spiritual energy airship earlier.

“Family Head…”

The胖 Martial Commander stood nervously at the door, not even daring to enter.

“Just say it directly.”

Ji Ge frowned. “Have you found Ji Ruxue’s whereabouts?”

“Reporting to the Family Head!”

Cold sweat profusely broke out on the胖 Martial Commander’s forehead. “Ever since Ji Ruxue’s trace disappeared last time, it hasn’t reappeared!

However… however, I can confirm they have already arrived at Eastern City!

It’s just that recently, due to the enrollment of Xuanyuan Martial Arts Academy, there are a lot of people coming to Eastern City.

We simply can’t find them by relying solely on those Martial Masters and Martial Generals monitoring the airport!”

“Didn’t find them!?”

“All useless, all useless!”

A surge of anger suddenly rose on Ji Ge’s face. “What use are you to me? Huh!?”

“Family Head, spare my life!”

The胖 Martial Commander’s legs instantly went weak, and he directly knelt and prostrated himself on the ground!

“Get out of here!”

Ji Ge’s face was as dark as water. “If you don’t find Ji Ruxue and Su Lang’s whereabouts within three days, you can go to the family’s punishment room and receive your punishment yourself!”

Upon hearing the words “family’s punishment room,” the胖 Martial Commander trembled all over, a look of terror on his face.

The Ji family’s punishment room was no ordinary one.

Even a Martial Commander who entered it would come out having lost several layers of skin!

And his detection disk had failed to detect Ji Ruxue’s whereabouts for so long, as if it were broken, which filled his heart with immense fear!

However, he had no other choice but to accept his fate!

“Yes… yes, Family Head, I will go and continue to track Ji Ruxue’s whereabouts now!”

The胖 Martial Commander trembled as he kowtowed three times, then left Ji Ge’s study with shaky steps.

At the same time, the Eastern City Martial Alliance—Eastern Building.

This Eastern Building was even taller and grander than the Martial Alliance building in Red Maple City’s stronghold!

From a distance, it looked like a terrifying mountain, covering a large part of the sky.

On the three hundred sixty-sixth floor of the building, a tall man in a purple robe, with bronze-yellow skin and an imposing aura, stood frowning before the floor-to-ceiling window.

This person was Cao Zuo, the Guardian of the Eastern City Alliance!

On the sofa behind him, a man with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes comparable to smoky makeup was toying with an unconscious woman.

This was his only son, Cao Zihan!

Besides Cao Zuo and Cao Zihan, there was also an elderly Martial Commander in a red robe, standing with his head bowed.

“Martial Commander Yue, have you found anything?”

Cao Zuo asked with a face as dark as water.

As a powerful figure in Eastern City, Cao Zuo and the Ji family had formed a strong alliance, firmly controlling the entire Eastern City.

Jing Qianyi’s death and the leveling of Qianyi Pavilion not only caused him immense economic losses but also severe reputational damage.

Although the matter of refining Human Pills did not involve him, the other party openly destroyed Qianyi Pavilion within the city, which was completely arrogant and audacious!

How could he, Cao Zuo, and his Eastern City Alliance branch, save face!?

Therefore, he immediately dispatched people to investigate.

And his subordinates were efficient; they had already brought back the investigation results at this time.

“Yes, Lord Guardian!”

Martial Commander Yue respectfully replied, “After investigation, we found that Jing Qianyi had contact with three mysterious people before his death.

These three mysterious people seemed to have had a conflict with Xu Zhifei, the alchemist of Qianyi Pavilion, and Xu Zhifei suffered greatly!

After they left the Serene Heart Pill Pavilion, Jing Qianyi called out to them, but Xu Zhifei was not present at the time.

After that, there was a conversation, and then Jing Qianyi invited the three of them into his carriage and went to Qianyi Pavilion, and soon after, Qianyi Pavilion was leveled!”
