Chapter 94: The Su Family of Black Water City

Black Water City is a city where cultivators and ordinary people live together.

There are dozens of cultivation forces of various sizes within the city, among which the two strongest are on one side.

They are the Su Family and the Ye Family, respectively.

The two great cultivation families have been on good terms for generations, jointly maintaining the order of Black Water City.

However, with the infiltration of three demonic cultivators from the Yinkui Sect, this originally orderly city has become chaotic.

A large number of people have begun to go missing, and even the various cultivation forces have not been spared.

As the leaders of Black Water City, the Su Family and the Ye Family took the initiative to shoulder the heavy burden of searching for and capturing the demonic cultivators.

Yet, after a series of setbacks, the two families not only failed to find the demonic cultivators but instead lost quite a few of their own clansmen.

Helpless, the two families could only jointly seek help from the Hehuan Sect.

Black Water City is located within the sphere of influence of the Hehuan Sect, so the Hehuan Sect naturally would not remain indifferent to the turmoil here.

After the news was sent back to the sect, the high-level members of the sect immediately issued a mission.

At the beginning, although the reward for this mission was not high, it was merely to kill three Foundation Establishment Mid-stage demonic cultivators, which was not very difficult for some experts in the Inner Sect.

Although there were few who accepted the mission, they were not non-existent.

In the more than half a year since this mission was posted.

A total of three waves of Inner Sect Disciples have accepted this mission.

Especially the third wave of disciples two months ago, which was even led by a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.

However, what is strange is.

These three waves of disciples who accepted the mission all went and never returned, with no news at all.

On the way to Black Water City.

Wang Jianqiang pondered the information Mu Lingxi had gathered, his brows tightly furrowed.

He had thought he had picked a relatively simple mission, but things went contrary to his wishes; this mission seemed simple, but after careful analysis, it was full of strangeness everywhere.

He rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

His heart suddenly stirred.

The Ye Family and the Su Family?

And they are family friends?

A strange look flashed across his face as he looked at Mu Lingxi and Wang Yu Yao, "Do you two know where Ye Lingyun and Su Yutong come from?"

Mu Lingxi shook her head.

Although she held the title of an Outer Sect Disciple before Foundation Establishment, she rarely stayed in the Outer Sect.

She did not know much about the people and affairs of the Outer Sect.

"It seems~ they are from Black Water City."

Wang Yu Yao's expression shifted.

Ye Lingyun and Su Yutong were both prominent figures when they were in the Outer Sect, and some information about them was widely circulated.

She did have some impression of them.

Hearing Wang Yu Yao's words, Wang Jianqiang could not help but laugh.

What a coincidence.

This is getting interesting.

Two days later.

The three arrived at Black Water City.

Walking into the city, the flow of people on the wide main street was sparse.

Everyone's face was filled with panic and unease.

Wang Jianqiang raised his eyebrows.

Things are much more serious than imagined.

A mere three demonic cultivators could actually wreak such havoc on an originally prosperous city!

This power is truly astonishing.

"Senior Brother Wang, shall we start a city-wide search directly, or?"

Wang Yu Yao looked at Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Let's go to the Su and Ye families first to take a look."

After speaking, the three of them casually asked someone for directions, and then headed toward the Su Family, which was closer.

The Su Family is located on a prosperous street.

The entrance is tall and imposing.

On both sides of the gate stood two young guards.

As gate guards for the hegemonic force of Black Water City, they represented the face of the Su Family and should have been dignified and proud.

However, at this moment, although the two were trying their best to maintain a serious expression, the fear in their eyes had long since betrayed them.

The disappearance of people was happening every day.

Although they were both Qi Refining Third Layer cultivators, they were no different from ordinary people when facing demonic cultivators.

They did not know which day it would be their turn.

This feeling that death could arrive at any moment was the most agonizing.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang and the other two arrive at the gate.

The two men's expressions tightened, and they looked at the three with caution, "Who are you?"

"We are from the Hehuan Sect and wish to see your Clan Head."

Wang Jianqiang said, getting straight to the point.

"So it is seniors from the Hehuan Sect."

"Please, come in quickly."

Hearing this, the two were overjoyed, as if they had met their saviors, and hurriedly led the three of Wang Jianqiang into the Su Family.

"Three seniors, please wait a moment; the Clan Head will be here shortly."

After the guards led the three into an elegant room, they said this respectfully to the three and then departed.

Not long after, a middle-aged man arrived in the room and cupped his fists at the three of Wang Jianqiang, "Su Family Clan Head Su Tong, greetings to the three high disciples of the Hehuan Sect."

Seeing Su Tong, Wang Jianqiang's eyes could not help but flicker.

This Su Tong's appearance was somewhat similar to Su Yutong's.

Could it be...?

A guess suddenly surged in his heart.

The next moment, Su Tong's voice came again, confirming his guess, "My daughter Su Yutong is also cultivating in the Hehuan Sect; do the three of you know her?"

"Not only do we know her, we are very familiar with her."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

"So you are Tong'er's good friends."

Su Tong's eyes lit up, and his originally somewhat reserved demeanor immediately relaxed quite a bit.

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, neither denying nor admitting it.

"Clan Head Su, our purpose in coming to the Su Family today is to understand the current situation in Black Water City."

Hearing this, Su Tong spoke, "The number of missing persons in Black Water City has now exceeded one million."

"People within the city are panicked everywhere; if this continues, even if the residents of Black Water City are not killed off, they will likely flee in large numbers, eventually turning it into an empty city."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Weren't there Hehuan Sect disciples who came before? Where did they go?"

"They all disappeared inexplicably."

A flash of terror crossed Su Tong's eyes.

"Disappeared?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang frowned.

"That's right, they all disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the world, without leaving a single trace."

"Before you, there were three waves of Hehuan Sect disciples who came to investigate, and not one was spared."

Speaking of this, a trace of urgency flashed across his face, "Tong'er was in the third wave of disciples, and she disappeared along with them."

"Little brother, you are a fellow disciple and friend of Tong'er; you must save her."

Su Yutong has also become an Inner Sect Disciple?

Wang Jianqiang was only slightly stunned, then calmed down again.

From returning from the Cold Pool Secret Realm until now, nearly four years have passed.

In the Cold Pool Secret Realm, Su Yutong had already begun to compress her Spiritual Power.

Given her aptitude, plus the resources obtained in the Cold Pool Secret Realm, successfully reaching Foundation Establishment was not too surprising.

After coming back to his senses, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Uncle, rest assured, I will do my best."

"Many thanks!"

Su Tong was full of gratitude upon hearing this.

Until the three left the Su Family, the expressions of Mu Lingxi and Wang Yu Yao as they looked at Wang Jianqiang still revealed something strange.

With Wang Jianqiang's attitude of neither denying nor admitting, Su Tong had already treated them as his own people.

They were almost tricked into being crippled.

"Where to now?"

Mu Lingxi said.

"Let's go take a look at the Ye Family."

After saying this, Wang Jianqiang took the lead and walked toward the direction where the Ye Family was located.
