Zhou Canghai turned to look at Zhou Yuandao: "Yuan'er, Xingyue Tower sent people to kill you. As a father, I will ask for your explanation."
Zhou Canghai was about to leave, but was held back by Zhou Yuan.
"No, I'd better ask myself." Zhou Yuandao.
Previously, he and Ivan had a harmonious relationship because of Nie Chong.
Moreover, during the time when he went to the Diling Mountains, the Xiao family and the Jiang family attacked the Zhou family, and Ifan and Nie Chong also helped the Zhou family.
Later, Nie Chong was unable to stay in Tianluo City for a long time due to official duties, so he returned to the imperial capital.
After Nie Chong left, did Ivan reveal his true identity?
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yuan walked straight towards the meeting hall.
"Brother, will it be dangerous for Yuan'er to go?" Zhou Mengyun asked with a worried look.
Zhou Canghai laughed and said: "What's the problem? My son is also an eighth-level alchemist now, and he is on par with that Ivan. He doesn't dare to threaten me."
On the other side, Zhou Yuan walked into the meeting hall.
Sitting in the main hall was an old man with a white beard holding a whisk in his hand.
Seeing Zhou Yuan, the white-bearded old man stood up quickly, smiled at Zhou Yuan and said with cupped hands: "Long time no see, Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect you to go to the Diling Mountains for so long. Everyone thought you were dead, but you came out alive.
, and brought your father back."
"You want me to die, don't you?" Zhou Yuan stared at Ivan expressionlessly.
Ivan was stunned for a moment, and when he felt Zhou Yuan's unkind tone, he was even more startled.
"Master, where did you start talking about this?"
"Still pretending, I came out of the Diling Mountains. Wasn't that killer sent by you?"
Zhou Yuan asked sharply.
Ivan was immediately startled. Before Nie Chong left, he repeatedly told him to keep an eye on the Zhou family. If Zhou Yuan did not come out of the Diling Mountains for a long time, he might send someone to look for him.
Nie Chong valued Zhou Yuan so much that even if he gave Ivan a hundred courages, he would not dare to send an assassin to attack Zhou Yuan.
"No problem, I am an upright person, how could I send someone to assassinate you?"
Ivan immediately said seriously.
Zhou Yuan sneered, waved his hand, and threw a black token to Ivan.
"Don't say you don't recognize this token."
Ivan caught the token and was immediately startled.
This token is indeed his identity token as the killer of Xingyue Tower.
However, the Xingyue Tower killer has always been cautious and strict in his actions, and it is impossible to bring anything with him that reveals his identity.
It's strange that Zhou Yuan could pick up this token.
Ivan felt doubtful in his heart. Faced with Zhou Yuan's questioning expression, he carefully checked the authenticity of the token.
This token is made of special materials and is indeed real.
"Is there someone acting secretly behind my back?" Ivan secretly guessed.
Then he turned the token over, and when he saw the word "Xinghen", Ivan's surprised expression immediately softened.
He raised the token and said to Zhou Yuan: "Sir, this token does belong to me in Xingyue Tower, but this Xinghen is not the killer under my command."
Zhou Yuan was stunned, "Since he is the killer of Xingyue Tower, how could he not be under your control?"
Ivan is the owner of Xingyue Building in Tianluo City, and his position is already the largest.
Ivan smiled lightly and said: "The Xingyue Tower under my jurisdiction is only within the scope of Tianluo City. I have no control over the Xingyue Tower in other places."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan was stunned again.
"Isn't it the Xingyue Tower in Tianluo City?"
"Yes, I clearly remember all the people under my command. There is no killer named Xinghen."
"This star mark is likely to come from the Xingyue Tower in other surrounding cities."
Around Tianluo City, there are three cities: Wushuang City, Jianglong City and Lingye City. Each of them is no worse than Tianluo City.
At the same time, these three cities are also the closest to each other, surrounding Tianluo City.
There are branches of Xingyue Building in the four cities, and they are all under the jurisdiction of different building owners.
Ivan continued: "And I have something that I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yuan asked.
"During your visit to the Diling Mountains, Xiao Batian came to me and paid a high price to buy a murderer, saying he wanted to take your life, but I didn't agree and kicked him out."
Zhou Yuan suddenly understood.
If this is the case, then everything makes sense.
The mastermind behind the murder was none other than Xiao Batian.
Now Xiao Batian and Jiang Haonan are not in Tianluo City. They may have gone to other cities, Xingyue Tower in other cities, to hire murderers to assassinate them.
Ifan's refusal to agree to Xiao Batian's decision does not mean that the owners of Xingyue Tower in other cities do not agree.
Zhou Yuan suddenly understood.
He quickly raised his hands to Ivan and said, "I'm sorry, Master Yi, I misunderstood you."
"No problem." Ivan waved his hand with a smile on his face.
"Then which Xingyue Tower sent this Xinghen specifically?"
Zhou Yuan asked again.
Ivan shook his head and looked at the name Xinghen on the token again.
"I don't know, but I can investigate through the internal intelligence of Xingyue Tower. Just wait for a few days and I will give you the news."
"Thank you very much." Zhou Yuan handed over again.
"Well, I came here today just to see you with my own eyes. I heard you were coming back before, so I didn't quite believe it."
Ivan smiled.
Zhou Yuan immediately ordered people to serve tea.
Zhou Canghai, who heard the reason outside the door, also rushed over, and the two parties had a lively conversation.
However, Zhou Canghai did not tell Zhou Yuan about his promotion to the eighth-level alchemist.
All conflicts were resolved, and Ivan left.
"Humph, it's Xiao Batian who is causing trouble again." Zhou Canghai said angrily.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, "Xiao Batian no longer poses any threat to me, it just depends on what tricks he will use next."
At this moment, a group of people were coming from the imperial capital of Tianyun Kingdom.
They are not far from Tianluo City.
On the other side, Xiao Batian and Jiang Haonan also returned to Tianluo City.
Jiang Haonan returned to the Jiang family's mansion and saw that the mansion was in a mess and white silk could be seen everywhere, and he didn't know what happened.
All the Jiang family members knelt down one after another and recounted all the past events.
After hearing the end, Jiang Haonan's eyes were about to burst, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
During his absence, he didn't expect that all the senior members of the family would die in Zhou Yuan's hands, and a lot of the family's property would also be taken back by the Zhou family.
This is a huge loss for the Jiang family.
If Jiang Haonan makes any mistakes again, I'm afraid the entire Jiang family will fall apart like the Bai family did within three days.
"Zhou Yuan, I want you to pay for your debt with blood. I want to slaughter your entire Zhou family."
Jiang Haonan's hair was disheveled, his aura was rising all over his body, and he looked up to the sky in rage.
Inside the Xiao family's mansion.
Xiao Batian's mood was not much better.
Although the losses of the Xiao family were not as great as those of the Jiang family, the death of three highly respected elders also made him almost crazy.
Under the explosive momentum, several buildings in the Xiao family's mansion collapsed.
After a long time, he gradually calmed down, with anger still on his face.
"I really didn't expect that after I walked through many paths, this Zhou Yuan still returned to Tianluo City alive. In this case, I might as well make the matter a little bigger."
When Zhou Yuan went to the Diling Mountains, both the Xiao family and the Jiang family sent people to intercept and kill him.
Feeling that this matter was not safe, Xiao Batian and Jiang Haonan went to the Xingyue Tower in another city and invited an assassin.
But this killer eventually died in Zhou Yuan's hands.
"Hmph, Zhou Yuan, ah Zhou Yuan, I'm afraid you wouldn't have thought that the killer you killed had an unusual identity. Just wait for someone to come and take revenge."
With that said, Xiao Batian had already written a letter and sent it out of Tianluo City through a goshawk.
