56: Chapter 56 One Ha Forever! One Old Age Forever!

In Huoyun City.

Screams and the panicked sounds of fleeing rose one after another.

Qin Muyuan led Wangcai and Chen Shuang like this, walking into the city.

Chen Shuang, being carried on Wangcai's back, looked at the corpses of the several city-guard soldiers behind her, her expression completely frozen.

"Killed… killed them?!"

She blankly spat out a sentence, her face filled with shock.

You must know that Huoyun City was the capital of Huoyun Country!

Inside the city, martial arts dojos were filled with experts, and there were even Alchemists who understood special secret techniques, as well as an elite heavily armored army of three thousand from Huoyun.

Qin Muyuan was actually killing people in the streets of Huoyun City right now, and the ones he killed were even city-guard soldiers.

This… how is this any different from taking a shit directly on Your Majesty the Emperor's head?

Chen Shuang shuddered all over, subconsciously casting her gaze onto Qin Muyuan.

She saw that there was not a trace of emotional fluctuation on Qin Muyuan's face.

It was as if what he killed just now wasn't Huoyun City's city-guard soldiers, but merely a bunch of worthless trash.

"Is this hero completely not worried…"

Before the thought in her mind could flash past, Chen Shuang suddenly stopped.

Because she remembered that in the shantytown outside the city, this hero had also beheaded the gorgeously-dressed youth whose family background looked extraordinary with just such a sword stroke.

When you have too many lice, you don't feel the itch anymore.

Anyway, those who deserved to be killed had already been killed.

This hero probably didn't care about that much anymore…

"H-Hero, where are we going?"

Chen Shuang reined in the worry in her heart and asked.

Qin Muyuan led the way in front, casually beheading a Martial Artist who wanted to claim a reward using his head, and said, "To find clues about your husband."

"Clues about my husband!"

Hearing this, Chen Shuang's gaze instantly detached from the dead Martial Artist's corpse, and the lingering fear in her heart disappeared.

She hurriedly said,

"Hero! My husband is a merchant in Plum Blossom Alley inside Huoyun City, he's a traveling clerk at a shop called 'Red Oil Chamber of Commerce' in there…"

"I know, we have already arrived at Plum Blossom Alley."

Before Chen Shuang's voice had even faded, Qin Muyuan interrupted her.

She saw that at the alley entrance ahead, there was strikingly a plaque with the three large characters "Plum Blossom Alley" written in ink.

Leading Wangcai into Plum Blossom Alley, Qin Muyuan followed the quest guidance arrows and quickly found the so-called "Red Oil Chamber of Commerce".

The news had not spread too far yet, so the shops here had not heard the news of the murderer killing the city-guard soldiers and breaking into the city.

However, when Qin Muyuan stepped to the front of the chamber of commerce's doors carrying the blood-stained pure nail, the people inside finally noticed something was wrong.

"Blood!!"

A servant watching the shop inside the chamber of commerce let out a weird scream, then scurried in a fluster toward the inner room.

Qin Muyuan did not pursue, but slowly walked inside the chamber of commerce to wait.

In no time at all, a middle-aged man wearing a merchant's long gown rushed out from the inner room.

Beside the middle-aged man, there were also two brawny clerks following along.

However, although these clerks looked brawny, when truly facing Qin Muyuan's calm gaze, they still felt baseless in their hearts, and their legs had to work hard to support themselves so they wouldn't tremble and go weak.

Seeing Qin Muyuan's battle array, the president of the Red Oil Chamber of Commerce was already terrified in his heart.

Yet he did not dare to show it at all, and could only squeeze out a smile, asking respectfully,

"Lord, visiting our humble association in person today, I wonder what you wish to purchase, or if there is a business transaction to discuss?"

"Do I look like someone who is here to make a transaction?" Qin Muyuan glanced slightly and asked.

Instantly, cold sweat poured down the back of the president of the Red Oil Chamber of Commerce, nearly seeping out from his crotch.

He squeezed out another ugly smile again, and before he had time to speak, he saw Qin Muyuan wave his hand and say,

"Liang Jiujiu, have you heard this name before?"

"I want to know his last whereabouts."

Hearing the name Liang Jiujiu, the chamber president's heart gave a thump, showing a panicked expression:

"I-I don't know why this lord is asking about Liang Jiujiu…"

Swoosh!

The next second, a pain struck the chamber president's waist, and his whole body collapsed to the ground in a folded state.

The two handymen behind him had not yet had time to react to what happened.

They only saw a flash of cold light, and immediately the chamber president was cut in half at the waist, blood and intestines flowing out from his waist and abdomen.

Dying violently on the spot right then and there!

"You're even questioning me back?"

Qin Muyuan coldly glanced at the dead chamber president.

He considered himself kind and never really went around killing people.

But that was built on the premise that no one provoked him.

Just now when he brought up Liang Jiujiu's name, this chamber president actually dared to produce a trace of Killing Intent toward him.

Although the Killing Intent was very slight, and the chamber president quickly came to his senses and the Killing Intent rapidly dissipated,

But… no matter what the circumstances were, daring to produce Killing Intent toward him only had one outcome!

That was death!

Clatter.

Seeing the president cut directly in half at the waist, the two brawny handymen in the back who were just there to make up numbers were terrified until their legs went soft, instantly collapsing limply to the ground.

Qin Muyuan lowered his eyes, gazing at these two handymen:

"You guys also don't plan to answer my question?"

Hiss!

At this instant, Killing Intent Application was unleashed by Qin Muyuan.

That mighty Killing Intent pressed toward the two handymen as if blotting out the sky and covering the earth.

The two handymen only felt that their entire bodies were locked onto by great terror, unable to give rise to a single thought of resistance in their hearts, left with only the intention to submit!

"We'll answer! We'll answer! Please ask, My Lord, this humble one will definitely say everything I know and say it all without holding back!"

Moments later, Qin Muyuan nodded slightly, learning of Liang Jiujiu's whereabouts from the two handymen.

The situation had quite a bit of discrepancy from what he had thought.

It turned out not to be some cliché plot of a successful scholar abandoning his wife and child.

Instead… that Liang Jiujiu was genuinely taken a fancy to by the Young Miss of a noble family in the inner city district.

And then, Liang Jiujiu was directly and publicly snatched away as an ordinary man by that Young Miss, being abducted!

As for why the chamber president had displayed Killing Intent just now, it was precisely because the chamber president had leaked information to that noble family's Young Miss.

That was why Liang Jiujiu had been abducted so effortlessly.

Hearing Liang Jiujiu's name just now, the chamber president subconsciously thought that the matter had failed and someone was coming to arrest him, which was why he acted hostile toward Qin Muyuan.

Although he quickly realized that Qin Muyuan was not someone he could direct hostility toward, that trace of Killing Intent quickly dissipated.

However.

Once a snarl, always a snarl! Once a hater, always a hater!

To Qin Muyuan—

Daring to snarl? Then just cut him down directly!

"I just knew… Husband wouldn't abandon me…"

Hearing this, Chen Shuang knew that Liang Jiujiu had not voluntarily turned away, but had been forcibly abducted by that noble Young Miss.

Tears suddenly rolled down from the corners of her eyes like broken beads.

These tears were not shed because her perseverance had finally been validated.

But rather out of deep worry for her husband's situation after falling under another's control.

She knew her husband Liang Jiujiu's temperament very well.

"Jiujiu has never been someone who goes with the flow. Even if that noble Young Miss possesses looks that could topple a country, he would never submit to her in the slightest…"

"He made an oath long ago that in this life he would only be loyal to me alone… Therefore, he will definitely not bow his head to that noble Young Miss…"

"Since he is unwilling to bow his head and has fallen into such a place… what kind of torture must he be enduring…"

"…" Hearing Chen Shuang's words, Qin Muyuan was instantly speechless.

The very first time she heard that her husband was abducted by a noble Young Miss, she was actually worried about her husband's safety rather than fearing that her husband would develop feelings for someone else.

This level of love-struck brain, even compared to that simping friend Qin Muyuan knew who was willing to open and pay for hotel rooms for his goddess, was completely incomparable!

"Let's go, I'll take you to find your husband."

Thinking of this, Qin Muyuan had Wangcai carry Chen Shuang on its back again and walked outside the chamber of commerce.

In his field of vision, the quest guidance arrow had already updated.

The target pointed directly at the Zhao Estate, where the one who abducted Liang Jiujiu resided in the inner district of Huoyun City.
