As for who the person who needed to be revived was and where he lived, the Zhu family didn't know. They had once sent someone to inquire about this out of curiosity.

Later, after careful observation, one of the Zhu family disciples discovered that he had seen the young master of Xuanyuan Hall setting up a stall on the black market in Qianghe Town. At that time, that person thought that the young master was just idle and wanted to experience life.

But in the following decades, Xuanyuan Lang was spotted traveling back and forth between Yanhe City and the black market many times. Especially during the period when Xuanyuan Palace collected a batch of medicinal materials, Xuanyuan Lang would definitely arrive in Yanhe City within a few days and leave on the same day.

Therefore, the Zhu family judged that the person in Xuanyuan Palace who needed medicinal herbs to prolong his life must be living in Qianghe Town and was taken care of by Xuanyuan Lang personally, so he hurried to Yanhe City and hurriedly left with the medicinal herbs.

After the Dan King Competition, the head of the Zhu family found that the storehouse had been robbed. He was shocked and angry. He lost his temper in the study and smashed many white jade porcelain bottles on the antique shelf. He also killed more than a dozen secret guards who were on night watch. He immediately sent people out to look for the thieves.

As a result, before he could find the thief, news came that the family business was suppressed by unknown forces. Even the disciples who went out for training would be targeted. The Zhu family fell into trouble for a while, the family reputation plummeted, and troubles continued.

When the families that were at odds with the Zhu family heard the news, they began to attack the Zhu family in secret, gradually eroding and swallowing up the Zhu family's various industries.

The Zhu family tried every possible way to seek help from the aristocratic families they had been friends with in the past, but they all avoided them like snakes and scorpions, and no one paid attention to the Zhu family's request for help. Moreover, there was no capable person who could turn the tide to save the Zhu family from its decline.

Soon, the Zhu family was defeated.

In the end, even Zhu Jingjing, the disciple of the Grand Elder of the Alchemy Guild, was expelled from the sect and kicked out of the Alchemy Guild by the Grand Elder because of making a small mistake.

At that time, the head of the Zhu family went to the Alchemy Guild to seek justice for his daughter. At that time, Li Siyan of the Alchemy Guild was entangled with the visitors from the Alchemy Sect, and the elder was also busy dealing with the follow-up matters of Gong Shaoyou and Wu Bufan, so he sent the head of the Zhu family away with a few words.

The head of the Zhu family returned home in a state of resentment after having a stomachache. After thinking it over, he realized that everything that was wrong during this period was caused by someone behind the scenes. Someone was deliberately trying to bring down his Zhu family.

He tried every possible means to find out who was harming his Zhu family, but the results always disappointed him.

By chance, he asked an old friend with whom he used to have a good relationship. The old friend could not resist his pleading and told him vaguely that the force behind the destruction of his Zhu family was the Xuanyuan Palace.

The head of the Zhu family was confused at that time. How could he have offended Xuanyuan Palace? He had no connection with Xuanyuan Palace at all, okay?

So, the angry Zhu family head went to the city lord's mansion. He knew that the city lord Cao Qinyi had a close relationship with Xuanyuan Palace. His Zhu family was defeated, and Cao Qinyi must know why Xuanyuan Palace wanted to bring down his Zhu family?

So, the head of the Zhu family went directly to find Cao Qinyi. As a result, Cao Qinyi looked at the head of the Zhu family who looked quite haggard, sneered in his heart, and finally found him.

Facing the question from the head of the Zhu family, Cao Qinyi sneered.

"What's the reason? Isn't it the fault of the Zhu family master for meddling in other people's business? You helped the wrong person. Why did you have to cooperate with the leader of the Ghost Demon Pavilion, Zheng Jikun? Aren't you courting death?"

"I...what's wrong with my cooperation with Zheng Jikun? My cooperation with him doesn't affect Xuanyuan Hall in any way. Why does Xuanyuan Hall target my Zhu family?" When the head of the Zhu family heard that the defeat of his Zhu family was related to Zheng Jikun, he felt cold in his heart. But then he thought, even if he cooperated with Zheng Jikun, what did Xuanyuan Hall have to do with it? He didn't do anything to harm Xuanyuan Hall, so why did Xuanyuan Hall take action against the Zhu family? So, he shouted angrily and questioned Cao Qinyi.

“Master Zhu, in the final analysis, the fate of your Zhu family this time is all because you provoked someone you shouldn’t have provoked.

To tell you the truth, Xuanyuan Palace targeted the Zhu family this time because of that person. That person... we can't afford to offend him, so... it can only be considered that your Zhu family is unlucky,"

"Then tell me who that person is?" The head of the Zhu family felt a pang in his heart, and he quickly brainstormed. Who can't the people of Xuanyuan Palace afford to offend? Then is there any possibility for him to take revenge?

"No comment. I advise you, Master Zhu, to make plans as soon as possible and stop struggling, lest you lose more and more.

That’s all I have to say. Master Zhu, take care of yourself. Come on, show the guest away.” After saying that, Cao Qinyi did not give Master Zhu a chance to continue, and he stood up and left the front hall.

The head of the Zhu family returned home in a daze, sat in the study for three days and three nights without sleeping, and finally handled the subsequent affairs of the Zhu family in a low-key manner, then closed the door to visitors and fell into complete silence.

Knowing that Gong Zhu had approached the head of the Zhu family to ask him about the affairs of the Xuanyuan Palace, the head of the Zhu family, out of revenge, told Gong Zhu everything he knew, even the smallest details about Xuanyuan.

Gong Zhu summarized all the information he had obtained from Xuanyuan Palace and analyzed it carefully with Li Xuanying. Finally, he concluded that the person who needed to be resurrected was the Diwu Zhao that Lord Singh was looking for, and that the Diwu Zhao currently lived in Qianghe Town.

After reaching the conclusion, the two agreed to go to Qianghe Town the next day.

"Go and have a rest first. We will go to Qianghe Town to find the Diwu Zhao tomorrow morning and then kill him," Gong Zhu made a gesture of wiping his neck, his cold eyes full of ferocity.

"Well, but what should we do if the person who hurt you comes to stop us? I don't know what's wrong with the Xuanyuan family? Not only do they spend such a huge price to prolong the life of an outsider, but they also want to fight with you for him? What do you think their relationship is?" Li Xuanying suddenly asked curiously. He couldn't figure this out either.

How could the Xuanyuan family, who were prominent in the fourth heaven, be related to the person that Lord Singh wanted to kill? Was it because they were kind-hearted?

"How would I know? Lord Singh looked so scary at the time. He only told me to do my best to complete the task. I thought it would be easy to kill a dying man. So, I didn't dare to ask who the Fifth Zhao was."

"Is that so? Fine then, let's not worry about his relationship with her. Just kill him and complete the mission."

"Yeah, I thought so too. I'll go back to my room first, see you tomorrow," Gong Zhu said and left Li Xuanying's room.

The next day, when the morning light was dim and the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, Gong Zhu and Li Xuanying set off.

After three days, the two finally arrived at Qianghe Town. As soon as they saw Qianghe Town, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The streets were crowded with people, pedestrians were shoulder to shoulder, vendors were lined up in the market, and there was a wide variety of goods on display. It was a prosperous and lively scene.
