56: Wanted! Open the door, the community is sending warmth...

“What? Who dares to kill my Mo Xuancang’s grandson in Tianfeng City!”

“Are you playing a trick on me?”

Mo Xuancang flew into a rage upon hearing the news, smashing the door of his cultivation room with a palm and bursting out!

He arrived before the servant who reported the news, grabbed him by the neck, and questioned him.

The servant was terrified by Mo Xuancang, trembling all over.

In Tianfeng City, who didn’t know how much Mo Xuancang doted on his grandson? He was practically his reverse scale.

When the servant first received the news, he was a hundred times unwilling to report it.

Just as much as Mo Xuancang doted on his grandson before, that’s how furious he would be upon learning of his grandson’s death.

There was no need to imagine how enraged Mo Xuancang must be right now.

The servant running over to report now might very well be used as a punching bag for his anger; it was practically a one-in-a-million chance of survival!

But if he didn't report, he would definitely die an even more miserable death.

In Tianfeng City, no one could protect him.

It was all thanks to that damned person; if the news of Mo Xuancang’s grandson’s death spread, everyone in Tianfeng City would cheer.

And the servants of Mo Residence might even be happier than them. In fact, it was these servants of Mo Residence who suffered the most torment.

However, while this was good news for others, it wasn't for him.

Not killing him earlier or later, but precisely when it was his turn to report, he was killed.

If it were any other time, he would have jumped up and cheered.

But it had to be now, how infuriating!

Under immense pressure, the servant still ran to report.

At this moment, the servant dared not say a single word.

The servant tremblingly pulled out a dull, lusterless powder and held it before Mo Xuancang.

Mo Xuancang looked at the clump of powder, his eyes narrowing. Although the powder was no longer in its original state,

with his realm and eyesight, he still recognized what it was at a glance.

This was precisely the Soul Tablet he had bought at a high price for his grandson.

The host could drip a drop of essence blood into the Soul Tablet to activate it.

From then on, one could judge the host's life and death based on the Soul Tablet's condition.

Before he went into seclusion, as it was inconvenient to look after it, he placed the Soul Tablet in the ancestral hall for a servant to watch.

He hadn't expected that after such a short period of seclusion, the Soul Tablet would turn into this state.

Under normal circumstances, after the Soul Tablet's host died, the Soul Tablet would at most crack.

But Mo Xuancang had never seen it shattered into powder like this before. Could it mean his grandson died very thoroughly?

So, Mo Xuancang looked at the servant he held in his hand, “Speak, what did you see at the time?”

The servant was stunned by Mo Xuancang’s questioning, but to save his life, he quickly recounted everything he had seen in detail.

After listening, Mo Xuancang, who immediately understood what had happened, slowly closed his eyes and casually shook the servant in his hand into dust.

According to the servant, when he was guarding the ancestral hall,

he suddenly saw the Soul Tablet representing the young master first develop cracks.

However, the Soul Tablet did not immediately shatter, but rather, more and more cracks appeared.

The servant panicked on the spot when he saw this.

If this Soul Tablet had any mishap in his hands, wouldn't he be finished? So he hurriedly brought the Soul Tablet to see him.

Just now, when the servant had just arrived at the entrance, the Soul Tablet shattered into powder.

This was also why the servant hesitated for a moment when reporting at the entrance just now.

Because the Soul Tablet had just turned into powder at that exact moment.

Perhaps when the servant was saying the first half of his sentence, the Soul Tablet hadn't shattered yet, but by the second half, it had turned into fragments, forcing him to quickly change his words.

Otherwise, it would truly seem like he was playing a trick on him, and then he would truly be dead without a doubt.

Of course, he still died now.

What truly enraged Mo Xuancang was this:

Killing someone is one thing, but why torment a child like this?

Although Mo Residence only had this one Soul Tablet, he knew quite a bit about Soul Tablets.

There was only one possibility for the situation the servant described earlier.

That was, his little grandson had suffered inhumane, extremely cruel, and extremely painful torment before his death.

But the person who acted deliberately did not want him to die quickly.

They just tormented him savagely, until he was finally tormented to the point of collapse and death.

Mo Xuancang dared not imagine how much painful torment his little grandson had endured before his death.

This child had never been beaten or scolded since he was young; how could he endure such pain!

Mo Xuancang clenched his fists tightly. He vowed to avenge this grudge.

“Investigate for me! Find out who did this!”

“I want him to suffer a fate worse than death!”

“Also, bring back my grandson’s body!”

Subsequently, he mobilized everyone in Mo Residence, stating that no matter what, the culprit must be found.

Otherwise, they needn't return.

Thus, under Mo Xuancang's mobilization, everyone in Mo Residence began to operate throughout Tianfeng City.

At the same time, Mo Xuancang also issued a bounty order in Tianfeng City.

The reward was extremely generous, making the culprit jump to the top of the bounty list, several times more generous than the reward for the second-place individual.

To Mo Xuancang, what was a bounty order?

Although the things he promised were generous, he could simply emulate the methods used in Vortex Forest.

First, they would place spirit herbs at specific locations in Vortex Forest, then they would sell information in the black market of Tianfeng City, and also release information in the city about what specific spirit herbs they needed.

By registering the identity information of everyone who went to buy spirit herbs, they, as sellers, knew exactly which spirit herbs could be obtained and which could not.

When those people returned after finding the spirit herbs, it would be their turn to find those people.

Those people thought their identities were well-hidden, but the black market was run by them.

Thus, coupled with the information they had previously released about needing spirit herbs, they could maximize the completeness of the spirit herbs brought back by those who bought the information, thereby reducing their losses.

The current bounty order was also the same; the reward offered was generous, but it would still have to be returned.

Outside, once the bounty order was issued,

the entire Tianfeng City was abuzz. Even though many cultivators had died before, Tianfeng City was still swept into a frenzy of searching for the culprit.

Although Mo Xuancang’s grandson was widely hated in Tianfeng City, everyone was grateful to the person who killed his grandson.

However, Mo Xuancang’s grandson was already dead. Clearly, finding the killer would bring them greater benefits.

As for owing a favor, they didn't ask that person to do it, so why owe a favor?

Now they thought Mo Xuancang’s grandson was very cute, was that okay?

They wanted to avenge Mo Xuancang’s grandson, was that okay?

Even the City Lord's Mansion and the Lei Family were no exception; at such a time, they definitely had to show some gesture.

So, upon learning the news, they all expressed condolences and sent people to help search for the culprit.

Indeed, with the support of a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources,

and because Chen De had not been too secretive about his identity and whereabouts since entering Tianfeng City, it was easy for attentive people to trace him.

Sure enough, someone quickly uncovered the culprit's identity.

Zhang Li!

Some people knew this name, just a hooligan and scumbag from Tianfeng City.

It was said that a few years ago, he was saved by someone, and later, ungratefully, he lusted after that person's wife, and it was said to be first... then... ah.

Afterward, he even killed to silence witnesses, eliminating that person's parents as well.

It was said he originally intended to kill that person too, but the person managed to escape a calamity.

Regarding Zhang Li’s deeds, the crowd had no particular opinion.

Or rather, many of them had more or less committed such acts of ingratitude.

Whether out of compulsion or for profit, what was done was done, and they felt no shame or remorse.

What made them curious, however, was how a scumbag like Zhang Li could pull off such a major feat?

But, who cared? As long as his identity was found, that was enough.

Who cared why he did it? Everyone was only concerned about how much this Zhang Li was worth.

Soon, Mo Xuancang let it be known that he wanted him alive, with a generous reward.

Everyone went crazy; this was the promise of a Spirit Opening Realm cultivator!

Thus, under the leadership of Mo Residence, the entire Tianfeng City was swept into a wave of capturing Zhang Li!

...

On the other side.
