Wen Hao ran out of the courtyard in one breath, then stopped, turned his head and glanced at Wen Wu in the yard, a smile flashed on his face and said: "You really think I'm a fool if you want to be cunning."
In fact, it's not that Wen Hao doesn't want to share some responsibilities for his father, it's just that he has too many things to do now and he can't be busy at all. Now he is still busy looking for his grandfather and younger brother. Although he knows that there is little hope, he has not confirmed that they are dead.
He was indeed unwilling.
Moreover, he was also a little worried about things on the Western Continent. The Five Elements Gate and the Supreme City had just merged not long ago. Without him, there would be conflicts between the two sides.
In addition, he was also worried about the mining of Yuan Stone in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. Although it was not his business, it was the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. A single move could affect the whole body, and there might be a fight with strange beasts.
Human nature is inherently greedy. In the past, the strange beasts did not allow humans to enter the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, but humans still secretly mined the Yuan Stones outside the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. Now the Strange Beasts have given in and allowed everyone to mine Yuan Stones within a hundred miles. Everyone will
I won't secretly go deeper into the area dozens or hundreds of miles like before.
After all, there are too many people mining there. Just because you don't have this idea doesn't mean that others don't have this idea. Once one person does it, others will definitely do it, and then there will inevitably be fights with strange beasts.
Although Wen Hao is not afraid of fighting with strange beasts, and with his current strength, he may not be afraid even if the Dragon King is reincarnated, but now he does not have the energy to fight with strange beasts, and his current family has not been found yet.
And even if there is no fight with strange beasts, that is where the interests lie. There are thousands of large and small forces, but there are definitely not a thousand ore veins. There will always be some forces that do not get benefits, and these forces are likely to be psychologically unbalanced and do something.
If something goes wrong, it will cause a huge human conflagration.
If it were before, Wen Hao wouldn't have worried about anything. As the leader of the Five Elements Sect, he would rather have everyone fight. The harder the fight, the better. The more strength he loses, the better. Only in this way can his Five Elements Sect become more powerful.
powerful.
But after returning to the Central Continent this time and seeing the strength of the Tianxie Sect, Wen Hao no longer thought so. The Tianxie Sect can only be regarded as the bottom force in the Central Continent, but it still has nearly twenty sword masters, among whom the Xie Sect
Wu Xin is the pinnacle of Sword Masters, and a sect with this level of strength can already be considered a major force in the Central Continent. From this point, we can see the huge gap between the two continents.
Now that the space-time channel has been repaired, people come from the Western Continent from time to time. Although it is very hidden, Wen Hao knows in his heart that within a year at most, someone will definitely find out. What will he do then?
The resources of the Western Continent are much greater than those of the Central Continent. The Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts is a cornucopia. It is impossible not to be tempted by the forces of the Central Continent. When they pass, will the strength of the Western Continent be able to withstand it?
Therefore, now Wen Hao absolutely does not want the civil strife in the Western Continent to damage his own strength, and he also has to find ways to help the people in the Western Continent improve their strength to prevent future conflicts with the Central Continent.
With so many things bothering him, how could he still have the mind to manage the Wen family? Besides, the Wen family doesn't have much to do now. Wei Rongguo and the others help handle most of the things. Wen and Wu only need to confirm the matters and give orders.
.
"Captain." Wen Hao had just walked around outside when Wei Rongguo ran over and said, "We found the person who paid for Miss Xiaolan."
"Where is it?" Wen Hao said with a stern look on his face, "Have you heard any news?"
"No." Wei Rongguo said with a sullen face, shaking his head: "The man's name is Mo Bai, he is the shopkeeper of a small chamber of commerce. He is not very strong. He is only an intermediate sword emperor, but he is a certain force hiding in the dark.
One of the dead soldiers, after discovering our people, he immediately bit the poison in his mouth and committed suicide on the spot."
Wen Hao frowned and said, "Where is the body?"
"Already brought it back." Wei Rongguo nodded and walked out the door with Wen Hao.
Following Wei Rongguo to an inconspicuous hut, Wei Rongguo pushed the door open and walked in. Inside, there were two Sword Emperors inspecting a corpse dressed in purple attire.
"Captain, Deacon Wei." As soon as the two came in, the two Sword Emperors inside immediately bowed and saluted.
"How's it going? Did you find anything useful?" Wei Rongguo asked.
"No." They both shook their heads at the same time.
Wen Hao didn't say anything. He bent down and inspected the middle-aged corpse, then opened his mouth and inspected it. Then he stood up and said: "He is indeed a dead soldier of a certain force. His mouth
One of the fangs inside has been bitten out, so there is no need to check anymore. It is impossible to find any clues on such a dead soldier."
After saying that, Wen Hao turned around and walked out the door. Wei Rongguo said a few words to the two of them and followed Wen Hao out.
"Has the chamber of commerce checked? Are there any problems?" Wen Hao asked Wei Rongguo again.
"After checking, the Chamber of Commerce has existed for many years. Mo Bai is just a shopkeeper hired by them. There are several people like this shopkeeper in their Chamber of Commerce." Wei Rongguo said: "And we put the few people who have the best relationship with Mo Bai.
They were all arrested, but none of them knew Mo Bai’s identity. Obviously, the Chamber of Commerce was just a place where Mo Bai hid his identity.”
"In addition, we have sent people to keep an eye on this chamber of commerce, not only their general association, but also several of their branches. I have also sent people to keep an eye on the boss's family. As long as Mo Bai's accomplices dare to show up,
Our people will find out immediately."
"This is best. Although the hope of finding clues is very small, it is better than nothing..." Wen Hao nodded and said: "In addition, since Mo Bai can hide his identity as the shopkeeper, his accomplices may also have other people."
Identity is very important."
"Understood." Wei Rongguo nodded.
In the following days, Wen Hao focused all his attention on finding Wen Shixuan, Mo Bai, and the majestic man who was seriously injured by him. However, there was no real clue in any matter, and it was very difficult to investigate, leaving Wen Hao and the others
It was all a mess and I didn't find anything useful at all.
On this day, Wen Hao was in the room thinking about how to find clues and how to establish a branch of the Five Elements Sect in the Central Continent in the future. After all, the Central Continent is so big, and the Five Elements Sect is getting stronger and stronger, and it will definitely develop here in the end.
Yes, these things must be considered first to avoid being in a hurry later.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door. Wen Hao immediately frowned and stood up to open the door. What he saw was Wei Rongguo and Wang Hongwei.
"Why are you here?" Wen Hao looked at Wang Hongwei and said, "Did something happen to the sect?"
"The sect is fine." Wang Hongwei bowed to Wen Hao, and then said: "Senior Huo Lie is in charge of most of the sect's affairs now. Each church and the elders also perform their own duties, and after a period of time, they have been getting used to it.
, coupled with the fact that there is no instigation from us, there is no gap between us. The disciples went to the Chuan Gong Hall to learn new skills, and their strength has greatly improved. Now not only do all the sects respect us, but even the five major guilds
He also looks at us differently."
Wen Hao nodded, then became more confused and asked: "Then you are coming this time?"
"Three days ago, I received a report from the seniors guarding the space-time passage, saying that they tried to break into the secret place, but they were frightened away." Wang Hongwei said: "And there are also some issues in the mainland due to the mining of Yuan Stone in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
There were signs of chaos, and they also clashed with strange beasts from time to time.”
"What I was worried about finally happened." Wen Hao suppressed a sigh, feeling helpless.
"Captain, I think you should go back and take a look first." Wang Hongwei said: "We don't care about the chaos in the mainland. It has nothing to do with us. But the secret place is our biggest secret. Now someone has come to investigate and prove this news.
It has been leaked and we have to prevent it."
"Leaked?" Wen Hao glanced at Wei Rongguo and sneered: "It has been leaked for a long time. It's just that someone came to investigate, which surprised me. But this matter is very troublesome. Although we have kept this secret for the time being,
But it’s definitely not a long-term solution, and it won’t take long before someone will definitely know about it.”
"What should we do?" Wang Hongwei frowned, with a worried look on his face.
"Anyway, I don't have a clue about what's going on here, so let's settle this matter first and then talk about it." Wen Hao thought for a while and walked inside.
After a while, Wen Hao came to Wen Wu and Sun Yulan.
"Boy, you haven't been here for several days, what's wrong?" Wen Wu asked with a smile as soon as he saw Wen Hao.
"There's something going on over there, I have to leave for a while." Wen Hao said with a smile.
"Leave?" Wen Wu frowned and said worriedly: "Is the matter serious?"
"Don't worry, I'm invincible over there." Wen Hao laughed.
"Then go and tell your mother." Wen Wu nodded, and as soon as his voice fell, Sun Yulan's voice came out: "Go, be careful and come back early." Then he tied up his apron and was cooking.
Sun Yulan walked out from inside.
"It won't take long to come back." Wen Hao nodded, saluted the two of them, turned to Jin Yue, and told Jin Yue about going back. Jin Yue had no intention of going back, and she planned to stay.
, and Wen Hao also agreed to her.
Then Wen Hao went to tell Xiaoyue, Xiaolan, Song Yuzhen and others that originally the three girls wanted to go with Wen Hao, but considering the situation there, Wen Hao did not agree for the time being. As for Yongmei, that was still
A girl, Wen Hao didn't even dare to tell her what happened in the Western Continent, nor did he say goodbye to her again.
In front of the space-time passage, a white light flashed past, and Wen Hao and Wang Hongwei appeared here. As soon as they appeared, the two sword masters responsible for guarding the place immediately raised their hands and saluted: "Master."
"Yes." Wen Hao nodded, looked at them and asked, "Tell me about the explorer."
"Yes." One of the old men with white beard and hair said to Wen Hao: "The man was dressed in black and his face and head were covered with black cloth. His appearance was not visible at all, but he could tell from his breath that he should be
She is a high-level sword master, and judging from her body shape, she should be a woman."
"And she seemed to have known the location of the secret place for a long time. She went straight to the front of the mountain and found the tunnel we had hidden. But when she was about to enter, we stopped her. She looked very panicked when she saw us.
, there was no fighting at all, so we turned around and ran away. We were afraid of falling into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, so we didn’t dare to chase him."
"Are you sure that person is a woman?" Wen Hao asked again.
