Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 53 - 51: The Big Shot Was Right Beside Me

"What? All the powerful figures of the Salt Gang’s Qinghe Branch have disappeared? Including that Elder Wang from the Salt Gang Headquarters who was at Body Refining Seventh Layer?"

"Elder Wang is a Body Refining Seventh Layer expert, and he brought several experts at Body Refining Fifth and Sixth Layers. Who could make them vanish without a trace?"

"Could it be something supernatural? Probably not, the serving maids at the Salt Gang’s branch are fine, it definitely seems like someone is seeking revenge!"

"Could it be the mysterious archer who killed Bai Gongfeng of the Salt Gang?"

The Qinghe County Government Office, the three great families, and the Fishermen Branch in Qinghe were the first to receive detailed information, both shocked and terrified.

Qinghe City is just a small county town, and figures like Wang Kang’an from the Salt Gang are absolute big shots to them.

After all, the County Magistrate, the clan leaders of the three families, and the Squad Leader of the Fishermen Branch are only at Body Refining Fifth Layer themselves.

If they knew that the person in charge from the Salt Gang Headquarters this time was not the openly known Body Refining Seventh Layer Elder Wang Kang’an, but the Body Refining Ninth Layer Law Enforcement Elder Bai Guinong,

they would probably be scared to death!

A Body Refining Ninth Layer expert, not to mention little Qinghe County, would be considered a top fighter even in Prefecture Cities like Yunmeng City.

Divine Power Realm experts are prominent figures, rarely seen.

Even in a large group like the Salt Gang, there’s only one Divine Power Realm expert, the Gang Leader.

With Divine Power Realm experts rarely making a move, a Body Refining Ninth Layer fighter is top-tier combat strength, capable of handling ninety-nine percent of situations.

Salt Gang Qinghe Branch.

County Magistrate Chen Fan, County Captain Zhang Long, County Magistrate Chen Dao, along with the Squad Leader of the Fishermen Branch, and the family heads of the three great families, all arrived in succession.

The former, being the official authorities, naturally came to check things out.

The latter were concerned for their safety and wanted to know the specific situation.

Zhang Long looked at the gathered survivors and asked, "Did any of you hear any unusual sounds or see anything strange last night?"

"No!"

"When I woke up, it was quieter than usual, and then I noticed all those big figures were gone. At first, I thought they had all gone out!"

"Same here!"

Everyone shook their heads, with not a single useful clue.

After Zhou Chen ambushed and killed Bai Guinong, the remaining people were no match for him. With the help of Ji Fengxia and Liu Ruyi, they easily dealt with all the enemies.

Even if there were maids around, Ji Fengxia could easily use a mental illusion technique to make them fall asleep, capturing them easily.

Seeing that the crowd didn’t seem to be lying, Chen Fan, Zhang Long, and others became even more solemn, indicating that the individual who acted must be extraordinarily powerful.

And in this world, a disappearance often bodes ill.

There are too many ways to dispose of a body.

Cremation, storing in a spatial storage item, being consumed by something supernatural...

However, since the maids are alive, the chance of it being something supernatural is minimal, and the fact that the perpetrator spared these maids suggests they are somewhat clear about their grudges.

This is the only somewhat comforting piece of news the group received.

The perpetrator should not act against them for no reason.

Moreover, they speculated that the perpetrator was likely the mysterious archer who killed Bai Ruyun or his accomplice.

Chen Fan only symbolically came to have a look; he had no interest or courage to investigate the perpetrator.

Moreover, the Court usually doesn’t interfere with sect or gang affairs like this and lets them solve it themselves.

And they prefer to handle it on their own.

This matter is for the Salt Gang Headquarters to handle.

Zhang Long also didn’t stay long, leaving a few people to guard the scene before leaving.

The people from the Fishermen Branch and the three great families acted similarly.

They couldn’t wait to avoid it.

After returning, they instructed the family disciples to keep a low profile for the time being.

Even confining those spoiled brats who often cause trouble outside, to prevent them from offending the wrong people and bringing disaster to the family.

...

Noon passed.

Zhou Chen got out of bed and went to the County Government Office to resign.

At the County Government Office, Chen Fan, Zhang Long, and Chen Dao were all present. Although they didn’t intend to handle the extinguishing of the Salt Gang’s Qinghe Branch, the matter had a significant impact.

Zhou Chen greeted the three and directly said, "County Magistrate, I am here to resign today, and I hope you will approve it!"

"Resign?"

Chen Fan, Chen Dao, and Zhang Long were all taken aback, not understanding why Zhou Chen suddenly wanted to resign.

"Did something happen? Why are you resigning so suddenly?"

Zhang Long asked.

"It’s like this, yesterday I apprenticed myself to a master and need to follow my master to cultivate in the sect, so I can’t stay on duty anymore."

"Master?"

The crowd was curious, looking at Zhou Chen.

Zhang Long asked, "Which sect is your master from?"

In his view, Zhou Chen’s talent was good, but just good, and the person who took an interest in Zhou Chen probably wasn’t from a major sect.

Staying might be better than joining an insignificant sect.

"My master is Li Changfeng of the Divine Arrow Peak at Cyan Cloud Sect."

Zhou Chen didn’t conceal it.

Once he becomes a True Inheritor at the Cyan Cloud Sect, this news will quickly spread across the Cyan Cloud and Yunmeng jurisdictions, even gaining some fame within the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Who?"

Chen Fan, Chen Dao, and Zhang Long’s bodies trembled, their eyes widening, wondering if they heard correctly.

"You... you said your master is Peak Master Li of Divine Arrow Peak at Cyan Cloud Sect?"

Chen Fan stared at Zhou Chen, finding it hard to believe.

He had previously hoped to send his daughter to Cyan Cloud Sect, merely wishing for her to enter the outer sect at best.

Even joining the outer sect would be a meteoric rise.

And Zhou Chen being an apprentice to Li Changfeng meant treatment as a True Disciple.

Moreover, if Zhou Chen could be accepted by Li Changfeng, it meant he could practice Yi Arrow Skill, an extraordinary talent indeed.

Wait a minute.

Yi Arrow Skill?

Salt Gang...

Chen Fan, Chen Dao, and Zhang Long suddenly realized a connection to the series of recent events.

Starting with the death of Shi Baoyu.

First, Squad Leader Shi Lei of the Salt Gang Qinghe Branch and Tributor Bai Ruyun of the Salt Gang were suspected to have been killed by Yi Arrow Skill.

Then.

The elder from the Salt Gang Headquarters came to find the perpetrator to no avail and mysteriously disappeared instead.

Now the truth seems on the verge of revelation.

Zhou Chen mastered Yi Arrow Skill, killed Shi Baoyu who had offended him, leading to a series of events. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

His Yi Arrow Skill successfully attracted Li Changfeng of Divine Arrow Peak at Cyan Cloud Sect, who accepted him as a disciple.

A perfect sequence.

Flawlessly connected.

They began looking at Zhou Chen with awe and respect.

Not mentioning Zhou Chen’s current status, just Zhou Chen’s strength, he has at least reached Body Refining Sixth Layer, higher than them.

And Zhou Chen is only eighteen, with such talent, it’s terrifying.

No wonder he could master Yi Arrow Skill and apprentice under Li Changfeng.

"Congratulations, Young Master Zhou, who would have thought a true dragon like you was in Qinghe County and we didn’t see it, how blind of us!"

Chen Fan was the first to react, quickly offering congratulations, carefully avoiding any mention of the Salt Gang incident.

"Congratulations, Young Master Zhou, no wonder your archery is extraordinary, having mastered the Yi Arrow Skill, the hardest archery skill in the Great Qian, truly talented with limitless potential."

County Magistrate Chen Dao promptly flattered.

"Congratulations, Brother Chen, the latent dragon has emerged to soar high!"

Zhang Long’s emotions were mixed, both surprised and pleased.

Turns out, the little brother he had been looking out for was actually a formidable figure.

With a single slap, he could kill him!

Luckily, they maintain a good relationship, even being fellow practitioners!

It seems he’s now allied with a powerful figure!?
