At least the Ning family members were finally free. Seeing the Jiang family monks retreating, the deputy head of the Ning family looked at Zhang Yifeng with a little gratitude in his eyes.
"Many, thank you fellow Taoist."
The deputy head of the Ning family was no longer as embarrassed towards Zhang Yifeng as he was at first, and thanked Zhang Yifeng sincerely.
Zhang Yifeng's expression didn't change at all. He still had important questions to ask.
"Deputy Patriarch Ning, I wonder where your Ning Ling fled to?"
Zhang Yifeng asked in a low voice. The deputy head of the Ning family groaned and shook his head before answering.
"Sorry, I really didn't pay attention to where he went."
A look of disappointment flashed across Zhang Yifeng's face when he heard this. Suddenly, a monk dressed as a guard from Ning's family walked out of the crowd with gritted teeth.
"Master Chen, I have seen the direction in which Ning Ling escaped!"
When the Ning family guard said something, Zhang Yifeng's eyes immediately shone brightly and he hurriedly asked.
"Oh? Where did he go?"
"Master Chen, I saw that he seemed to be heading towards the slums of Jufeng City, and when he disappeared, the young masters and ladies of my Ning family also disappeared.
I guess they were all robbed by him."
The guard said solemnly, Zhang Yifeng took a long breath and raised his hand to the Ning family guard.
"Thank you for letting me know, I will let the Jiang family treat you well.
Don't worry, the Jiang family is not an unreasonable family, and as long as you don't have any objections, the Jiang family will not kill you."
Zhang Yifeng wished he could fly to the slums right now and find this despicable person like Ning Ling.
After appeasing the Ning family, Zhang Yifeng waved to summon a Jiang family monk.
"People from the Ning family must not anger them. Now that the overall situation has been decided, the Jiang family needs to show their magnanimity and treat them as favorably as possible."
Zhang Yifeng whispered beside the Jiang family monk and he was convinced by Zhang Yifeng's words.
After nodding vigorously to express his understanding, the monk from the Jiang family took the initiative to lead the Ning family to the guest room of the Jiang family to rest.
Seeing that everyone in the Ning family had settled down, Zhang Yifeng hurriedly walked out of the Jiang family gate and rushed towards the slum area.
If Zhang Yifeng delays for a moment now, the possibility of finding He Yajiao will be reduced.
He quickly arrived at the slum area. Zhang Yifeng had already memorized the terrain here since he was here last time.
After quickly going through the places where a large number of people could hide in his mind, Zhang Yifeng locked in the area where the target might be.
Arriving at the suspected location at lightning speed, Zhang Yifeng circled around and found that there were many places here that smelled of monsters.
It seemed that Ning Ling was worried about being found, so she specially arranged for the monsters to plant their auras everywhere to disrupt the pursuers' train of thought.
It's a pity that Ning Ling has provoked the wrong person. Zhang Yifeng's perception is extremely sensitive, and it has even reached the point where he can smell the remnants of these scents.
Ning Ling's careful trick actually helped Zhang Yifeng quickly locate the location where he and his men were hiding.
After searching for the scent all the way, Zhang Yifeng came to a dark sewer outlet. Apparently Ning Ling was hiding here with the young masters and ladies of the Ning family.
Moreover, the aura of monsters inside is very strong, and there are more than just a dozen or twenty monsters hidden here.
Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Yifeng was certain that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, he would find any clues about He Yajiao.
Taking firm steps, Zhang Yifeng walked into the dim sewer.
The stench of the sewer is overwhelming, but it is difficult for monks with weaker senses to detect the hidden atmosphere when they enter here.
Zhang Yifeng is different. He can easily distinguish the scent of monsters through his senses.
But the same stench also strengthened Zhang Yifeng's sense of smell, so that Zhang Yifeng had to block his sense of smell when entering the cave.
Stepping into the sewer opening, Zhang Yifeng raised his hand and lit a spiritual fire, which gradually penetrated deeper with the light.
Zhang Yifeng had just walked a few dozen steps when he suddenly felt two gusts of fishy wind blowing in front of him. Zhang Yifeng's eyes suddenly froze and he turned his hand to extinguish the spiritual fire.
The next moment, two huge figures came from the front. Before they could reach Zhang Yifeng, two piercing sword lights slashed out from in front of Zhang Yifeng.
The two attacking figures were chopped into pieces as soon as the sword light passed by, and fell into the sewage of the sewer.
"The two little demons also tried to attack me. They really don't know how to live or die."
With a cold snort, Zhang Yifeng put away the sword energy and continued to penetrate deeper.
As Zhang Yifeng continued to go deeper, the evil spirit in the air became more and more intense. Even if Zhang Yifeng blocked his sense of smell, he could still clearly detect it.
Suddenly, there was a sound of conversation coming from the fork in front of Zhang Yifeng. Zhang Yifeng's expression moved, he hid his body and breath, and then slowly approached the direction where the sound came from.
After getting closer, Zhang Yifeng heard their conversation clearly.
"Why does the king trust this human being so much? This guy has been letting us sneak into the Giant Peak City in large numbers a few months ago.
As a result, we sneaked in, but at least half of our compatriots died at the hands of those hateful human monks.
If we gather a large army and attack directly, Jufeng City might already be ours now!"
"Haha, you don't believe me when I usually say you are stupid.
If we really assemble a large army, how can we be the opponent of Jufeng City? Of course, we can only use this method to sneak in.
Besides, according to that human's plan, there is now chaos in Jufeng City. After the melee, the three families of Ning, Cheng, and Jiang have lost their original fighting strength.
If we attack the city directly, the Xuanxian Realm monks from these three families will be enough for us to drink a pot!"
Another voice sounded, expressing disdain for the monster that spoke in the first place.
"Humph, I don't think about all these things all day like you do. I only know how to kill people and eat meat!"
Perhaps it was irritated by the words, the monster that spoke first snorted twice and then stopped talking.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can't tell you that I'm in a hurry after just a few words. It's really not enough.
That human kid is very scheming, and since the king trusts him so much, you have to be careful what you say in front of him.
Otherwise, if that boy blows wind in your ear, you may not be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
The other monster tried to persuade him, but it sounded extremely harsh in the ears of the first monster who spoke.
"Stop talking, we should go on patrol. Be careful not to let the human monks find us hiding here."
At this moment, a dull sound sounded, interrupting the quarrel between the two monsters.
The other two monsters responded, and Zhang Yifeng, who was standing at the corner, heard footsteps coming from the side.
Zhang Yifeng lowered his breath and stood by the wall, a cold light gradually lighting up in his eyes.
The next moment, three black shadows appeared in front of his eyes, and the sword energy from Zhang Yifeng's hand flew out, cutting off the heads of the two monster beasts in the blink of an eye.
