Chapter 92: The Clans of the Capital

Just as Zhao Kai finished speaking, Wang Lun added, "It's not just the Chu clan! The Yun clan's sending a similar delegation. Yun Bing and Yun Meng, along with Yun Chongzheng, arrived at the Liao teleportation array just five minutes ago, and they'll likely be here within five more minutes! And not only that, the Zhou, He, and Qian clans seem to be sending parties as well!"

Qin Feng sighed. "All five of the major clans from the capital? Is there a need for such a big fuss?"

"Qin Feng, don't you know who the owner of these ruins is?"

"What? Who is it? ?Surely it isn't the Eclipse Sage's?"

Zhao Kai looked toward him with disdain, but Qin Feng's annoyance was overcome by his curiosity.?Just whose ruins could these be?

"Likely not the Eclipse Sage's, but perhaps Devil's Eye or Graylight!" Just as Zhao Kai was thinking about how to play a prank on Qin Feng, Wang Lun spoke up.

Yes, the Devil's Eye or Graylight Sage!?That was what his own father had supposed. When Qin Feng heard about this, his eyes gleamed. Recalling his father's words, he pressed his wristwatch lightly a few times without attracting any attention.

The four clans had gathered and had found the entrance to the ruins, but none of them dared to try to activate it. After all, the five major clans from the capital were rushing over, and they didn't dare to head in knowing that.

The other clans arrived within a few minutes.

The Yun and Chu clans came together, assembling their forces as they chatted away. Both generations of the two clans knew each other fairly well, and it was only natural that they would congregate.

The four clans of Liao didn't dare approach them without a summons.

Chu Xun sniffed thoughtfully, as though she sensed something unusual.

Chu Feng immediately noticed. "Chu Xun, what's the matter? Do you smell something?"

Chu Xun giggled. "Brother, that fellow's been here!"

"That fellow?" Chu Feng was a little confused. "Who?"

"Blackie!"

Chu Feng gaped. "You mean, Zhang—" His face turned funny.

Yun Bing sensed the unusual commotion and immediately approached them. "What's the situation? Chu Xun, did you discover something?"

Her eyes twinkling, Chu Xun said, "Yun Bing, he's been here, I can smell him!"

"Him?!"

"Who? You mean, Zhang..."

Just like Chu Feng and Chu Xun, none of the three of them said his full name out loud, but Yun Meng could easily deduce just who they were talking about.

"In that case, do you think he was the one who caused all this commotion?" Yun Bing was quite shocked.

"I don't want to believe it, but given the situation, what else could it be?"

"Who are you talking about? Who's this Zhang fellow, some friend you made in the dimensional world?" Chu Zhennan, standing beside Chu Feng, couldn't help interrupting their conversation.

It was then that the four of them realized that their elders were also there with them.

"No, no, it's nothing! Chu Xun's just guessing, and we're not certain yet," Chu Feng exclaimed, trying to change the topic.

Yun Bing jumped in, "Right, why don't we head over to the portal? Uncle Zheng, Uncle Nan, both of you have significant experience in the dimensional world, so would you have a look at the portal?"

They walked over to the ancient stump. The two elders began to inspect it carefully, while Yun Bing, Chu Feng, and their siblings walked over to the Liao clans.

The elites of the Liao clan immediately greeted them.

"Young Master Chu, Miss Yun!"

Chu Feng and Yun Bing inclined their heads in response. Beside them, Chu Xun placed her hands on her hips and commanded, "Alright, answer my questions! If I'm satisfied with your answers, you'll get a larger share of the rewards! First: which of you was the first to arrive?"

Chu Xun was widely known as a devilish girl, and none of the elites dared to cross her. They immediately pointed toward Qin Feng.

Chu Xun smiled, but the more she smiled, the paler Qin Feng became. He clearly remembered embarrassing himself in front of her at that bar in the Blacksteel settlement, and now...

"Don't be afraid. Just answer all my questions truthfully, and I'll leave you alone! Of course, if you lie..."

"Please, ask me anything, Young Miss Chu! I, Qin Feng, swear to reveal all I know!" Qin Feng didn't dare go against someone like Chu Xun.

"Good. Did you find traces of anyone when you arrived at the scene?"

"No, Miss! By the time we got here, the beam of light had already dissipated, and it took us a long while just to find this stump."

Qin Feng's response disappointed the Chu and Yun hunters, and Chu Xun questioned him again, "That can't be. Are you certain? If I find out you're lying, you'll be in for it!"

"I'm certain, Miss! If you don't believe me, you can ask my subordinates. None of us saw anyone else by the time we arrived!" Qin Feng repeated, and his subordinates hastily nodded.

It was unlikely that they were lying, so could it be that Zhang Lie had been in the vicinity in the past? No, that couldn't be—his scent was very fresh, and he had to have been here this very night!

But if no one had seen him, then there was only one possibility: he was already inside!
