Chapter 210: Searching For Clues

They had no idea what had happened to the four great clans in the Yan Shen Empire’s capital today!

They had actually mortgaged all of their clan’s assets and obtained a large amount of primeval stones as compensation.

However, after they obtained these primeval stones, they had immediately decided to use them to purchase all sorts of shops and corresponding places in the Yan Shen Empire’s capital!

In the beginning, no one really noticed them.

Therefore, they obtained a large portion of the shopts. Later on, when everyone else reacted, the owners of those shops either closed their doors and businesses, or they had already gone inside and handed over their own shops to some large factions to control.

Moreover, it was precisely because of this group of people caused trouble at the same time that it led to the chaos in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire today.

Fang Yuan looked at Zhou Chang with a strange expression and said, “This can indeed explain the chaos in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire today.”

“This is a rather important piece of information, but why did the four great clans do this?”

“The reason has yet to be found, but because of their reckless actions, it caused a large number of ignorant people in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire to follow suit.”

“As a result, a large number of Gu materials and ordinary materials cannot be collected and purchased in a short period of time!”

“This includes the stone materials purchased by the organizers of the Gu Dao Convention!”

“They say that this news has already reached the imperial palace of the Yan Shen Empire. According to the officials, their respective department heads have already entered the palace to meet the saint.”

“I heard that the Yan Shen Saint of the Yan Shen Empire is very angry!”

“He is currently discussing, hoping to find the mastermind behind this matter!”

“And according to the information we have received so far, the entire Gu Dao Convention has already been delayed by one day.”

“Senior Fang Yuan, this also means that we will have another day of rest tomorrow. The opening of the third stage of the Gu Dao Convention has already been shifted to the day after tomorrow!”

Fang Yuan looked at Zhou Chang in shock.

He did not doubt the words of this disciple who had a very steady character, and was certain that he would not intentionally tell him information that he could not be sure of at this juncture.

However, since this information was correct, then inside the capital of Yan Shen Empire, it seemed that both the official forces and the civilian forces were in a mess.

However, what did the mastermind of this storm want?

While Fang Yuan was deep in thought, Junior Gu Tianqing had returned.

“Senior Fang Yuan, Senior Fang Yuan, the situation isn’t good!”

Fang Yuan looked over with a strange expression.

He saw Gu Tianqing walking over with a pale face and leaned to his side. He covered his mouth with his hand and whispered in Fang Yuan’s ear.

“Senior Wan Qian’s whereabouts are probably unknown!”

“After I went out, I mobilised our Gu clan’s forces, but after an hour of searching, even after sending out hundreds and thousands of people, there was still no news of Senior Wan Qian’s whereabouts.”

“However, there is a small piece of news. I thought it was very important, so I quickly came back to inform you!”

“What news did you find?”

Fang Yuan asked solemnly. He already understood that in this chaos, there might be people who wanted to harm the Gu Immortal Sect, or the disciples themselves!

“According to a servant of our Gu clan, near our Gu Immortal Sect’s residence, there is an underground organization.”

“And this afternoon, because of the chaos in the Yan Shen Empire, he received a large amount of information.”

“And because of Senior Wan Qian’s identity and her outstanding appearance, after she left our Gu Immortal Sect’s residence, there was a member of this underground organization following her.”

“But that member of the underground organization did not follow her for long before he was knocked unconscious by a mysterious person.”

“And when he regained consciousness, it was late, and he rushed back to tell his boss.”

“The local boss is also a well-informed person. After hearing the words of the member, he immediately understood that that member followed Senior Wan Qian this afternoon, and reckoned that her status is extraordinary!”

“And generally speaking, such things often represent two meanings. One is that the person he was following has the protection of a mysterious master, so after discovering his tracks, he personally dealt with the tail that is following her! ”

“And on the other hand, someone else was also following this Gu Immortal Sect member.”

“And there’s a good chance that the person is up to no good!”

“However, he could not determine which faction the local gang members behind Wan Qian came from, or what their goals and thoughts were, so he chose the simplest way to deal with him, which was to knock him out.”

When he heard this, Fang Yuan immediately understood that someone had plotted against him.

It seemed that there were also undercurrents surging in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire. Two days ago, Ruan Qinghe and Gu Yuange had just been kidnapped, and today, his senior Wan Qian was targeted?

Based on the fact that Senior Wan Qian had gone out and had not returned for the entire afternoon, it was likely that the mastermind behind knocking out the local gang members had already kidnapped Senior Wan Qian.

They had already succeeded, but he did not know anything about it!

But there was one thing that was very strange. What was the enemy’s goal?

If it was to obtain property or resources, then directly kidnapping Senior Wan Qian was definitely not the most important goal!

After kidnapping her, they would send him information and ask for the resources they wanted, and then ask the Gu Immortal Sect to give him these things. This was what they should do!

But now, he did not receive any information. This also showed two things.

First, the other party was extremely cautious, and even after kidnapping Wan Qian, they did not act rashly. They were probably planning to move Senior Wan Qian to another place that they thought was very safe, before returning to the Gu Immortal Sect to make their demands.

As for the second possibility, it was even more terrifying. Their goal was probably Senior Wan Qian herself!

According to the bits and pieces of information they had, Senior Wan Qian was now the Wan clan’s last inheritor!

Even though her mother worked in the Gu Immortal Sect!
