Chapter 366: (2): The Sword Spirit Travels North, While Zuo You Goes South
After inspecting the old maidservant's condition, Fu Qi was shocked to discover that her bonded flying sword had been destroyed. However, he didn't reveal this to anyone, merely declaring that the old maidservant had suffered some injuries that had to be treated.
Fu Nanhua cast his gaze toward the city wall, where Chen Ping'an was already nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't help but wonder if Chen Ping'an had died somewhere in the outer city or if he had somehow managed to survive this ordeal.
Fu Donghai and Fu Chunhua exchanged another glance with each other.
The two of them were still not willing to give up their claim over the position of city lord just yet, and from that perspective, the condition that the old maidservant was in was certainly not good news.
"Should I send someone to look for Chen Ping'an and Zheng Dafeng?" Fu Nanhua asked.
Fu Qi shook his head in response.
"There's no point in doing that now. Our top priority is to find out exactly what happened and why Du Mao suddenly disappeared. Turn the carriage around; we'll enter the city from the southern gate as opposed to the eastern one."
The most flabbergasted person of all was Du Yan, the direct lineal descendant of Du Mao. He was still standing atop the city wall, looking on with a dumbstruck expression, unable to think of where Du Mao could've possibly gone.
Du Yan's wife was very mediocre when it came to cultivation aptitude, but she was much calmer than the Golden Core Tier Du Yan, and she said, "Ancestor Du Mao is a dominant force to be reckoned with even on Parasol Leaf Continent, so there's no way that anything could've happened to him on the tiny Eastern Treasured Vial Continent."
