Chapter 158 Big Melon
Qi Daoxiong took two steps forward, and a spiritual pressure unique to high-level cultivators swept across the entire place. He carefully scanned all the Qi-refining cultivators below.

Then he said, "Four days ago, between Danyang Market and the passenger ship landing area, about ten miles outside the market, a robbery and murder occurred.

My grandson Qi Zhanfei was killed there. His body was burned to ashes by a fireball, and all the things he carried with him were gone.

Several murderers should be among you. Come forward and I will give you a quick death. In the name of the Qi family, I promise that your family members will not be implicated.

Otherwise, if I were to find it myself, I would definitely kill your entire family. Now I’ll give you one stick of incense to think about it.”

After saying this, he casually threw a stick of lit incense into the ground.

The seven or eight hundred Qi-refining monks below began to whisper to each other, wondering who had done it and whether they would come forward and admit it.

Soon, an incense stick of time passed, and of course no one came forward to admit it.

Qi Daoxiong stood up and spoke again: "Since no one has taken the initiative to admit it, I can only find it myself."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and dozens of magic power marks fell into the crowd. Soon, seventeen small teams of three or four people were marked.

"Those who have mana symbols on their hands, come here and open your storage bags for me to check."

As soon as Qi Daoxiong said this, the crowd immediately went wild.

Someone immediately couldn't help but ask, "Why do you check our storage bags? You know, the storage bag is the entire wealth and privacy of the monks.

Why don't you let us check your storage bag? Maybe you are the one crying thief here!"

Qi Daoxiong almost exploded with rage after hearing this. He raised his hand and shot a water ball at the monk, causing the monk who had spoken to spit blood from his mouth and pass out.

The people below felt a chill down their spine and no one dared to be the first to speak out.

Fortunately, Qi Daoxiong still had some sense. He knew that anyone who dared to speak out at this time must have some strength and background, so he did not kill him.

Qi Daoxiong spoke again: "If anyone has any objections, please speak up now and I will deal with them together."

After waiting for a while, I saw that no one spoke again.

Then he continued: "Those with the magic power mark on their hands come over and open all the storage bags on your body. Don't think about hiding anything.

I only look for what I want to find, and I am not interested in the mess in you."

The monks with magic power symbols on their hands looked at each other, and finally a small team of four came over first.

In front of Qi Daoxiong, he opened the storage bag and let him check it.

Qi Daoxiong did not hold back and checked them all carefully, then scanned the four of them several times with his spiritual sense.

After confirming that there were no problems, they cleared a space for the four people to stay there.

After the demonstration by the first four people, the sixteen teams behind also opened their storage bags and asked Qi Daoxiong to check. The results were all the same, nothing was found.

At this time, Qi Daoxiong's face looked a little ugly, but he still waved his hand and sent out another hundred magic power symbols.

This time, the one with the mark on his hand automatically came to him and opened the storage bag for him to check, without him saying anything.

Soon, after a hundred, another hundred followed. Even the cultivator who fainted on the ground had his storage bag opened by Qi Daoxiong, but he still couldn't find what he was looking for.

Now only Lin Changqing and Chen Ziya were left in the audience, and many people were looking at them.

Lin Changqing was also very single, so he didn't need Chen Shan Zhenren to say anything. He just pulled Chen Ziya, and the two of them walked towards Qi Daoxiong, then opened the storage bag for him to check.

By now Qi Daoxiong's face was so cold that it could freeze, but he still forced himself to check the two people's storage bags. Of course, he found nothing.

Although he was extremely disappointed, he had not lost his mind. He knew that the two young monks in front of him were different from others, so he still said to them "Sorry!"

Lin Changqing and Chen Ziya nodded without saying anything. No one would be happy to have their storage bag checked, so they couldn't say anything to comfort them.

At this time, the three people who had just left also came back. One of them was a middle-aged monk who looked somewhat similar to Qi Daoxiong. He came to Qi Daoxiong and whispered a few words.

At this time, Qi Daoxiong walked to the front again and said, "A-numbers 12, 13, 15, and 16, who are they? Please come out for a moment."

Lin Changqing, Chen Ziya, a tall and thin young monk, and the monk who had just spoken and was knocked unconscious, four people stood up.

Qi Daoxiong came up to the four people and asked, "My dear friends, did you have any contact with my grandson Qi Zhanfei a few days ago? Was there anything unusual at that time?"

Lin Changqing and the other man looked at each other, and it was Lin Changqing who spoke up: "On the morning before arriving at Danyang Prefecture, your grandson came to touch the ban on my door, saying that he was my next-door neighbor.

He wanted to invite me to go to Danyang Market with him, but I declined because I had a female companion with me and it was inconvenient. ”

At this time, the female monk rushed over, with a sad face and red eyes, and asked Lin Changqing sternly: "Why didn't you agree to him at that time? Maybe with your company, my son would not have died?" Lin Changqing glanced at her and said nothing, knowing that facing a person who had lost her mind, she would not listen to anything he said.

Qi Daoxiong said at this time: "Qiu'er, keep an eye on your wife and don't let her talk nonsense."

The middle-aged monk responded and came over to pull the middle-aged female monk away.

Qi Daoxiong said to Lin Changqing: "I'm sorry, my friend, she just lost her son and is a little crazy.

Is there anything else besides what you just said?"

Lin Changqing shook his head and said, "After he was rejected by me, he left. As for whether he went to find other people, I don't know."

Qi Daoxiong looked at the other two people. The tall and thin monk shook his head, but the monk who was knocked unconscious seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Qi Daoxiong caught it immediately and said, "My dear, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I was a little impatient. Do you have any clues? Can you tell me?"

The monk looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "That morning, he also came to see me, and I rejected him as well. No one dares to agree to a stranger who suddenly comes to ask for a companionship.

I think he seems to know that going to Danyang Market is dangerous, but he still wants to go. This is quite interesting."

Qi Daoxiong frowned after hearing his words. Could it be that his grandson had something else that made him go to Danyang Market even though he knew there was danger?

At this time, the middle-aged female monk suddenly burst into tears. Qi Daoxiong asked impatiently, "What's wrong with you?"

The middle-aged female monk stopped crying after a while and said self-reproachfully, "It may be that I harmed him. Before he left, I was afraid that he would be ignorant and stupid.

I couldn't help but nod at him. I guess he guessed something, so he must have gone to Danyang Market to buy gifts."

The middle-aged monk became furious when he heard this, pointed his finger at her, and said, "You..." He was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Qi Daoxiong also shook his head sadly. It was unfortunate for his family to have such a woman. What a loving mother often spoils her son!
How could he ruin the plan they had originally agreed upon and indirectly kill his grandson?

The problem now is that all the storage bags of the Qi-refining monks on the passenger ship have been checked, and all the rooms on the passenger ship have also been carefully searched, but nothing related to his grandson has been found.

That proves that I might have gone in the wrong direction, and now I have to consider how to end it.

There are seven or eight hundred cultivators on the ship. Even if nine of them are independent cultivators, there is still another layer of cultivators with a history and roots, like Chen Ziya and Lin Changqing.

Qi Daoxiong was very troubled by offending so many big and small forces at once, so now he had to think of a way to end it properly.

He no longer paid attention to his son and daughter-in-law, and turned to discuss with Master Chenshan. After a while, he also invited Li Shiying, who was guarding the passenger ship, to come over.

The result of the discussion among the three people was to give some compensation to all the passengers on the ship and waive the cost of the passenger ship ride for all passengers.

The cost was paid half by Wanbao Pavilion, and the other half by the Qi family and Chen Shan Zhenren. However, when the announcement was made, Chen Shan Zhenren was not mentioned because he did not need it and gave the title to the Qi family.

This is a considerable expense. There are four different boarding passes, A, B, C, and D. For passengers like Lin Changqing and Chen Ziya who need to take three trips, each trip costs 200 spirit stones, which means 1200 spirit stones for two people.

The fees for other different boarding passes decrease in sequence: 150, 100, and 50 respectively. In total, every family has to pay tens of thousands of spirit stones.

After the three of them discussed it, they decided that Li Shiying, the guard of the passenger ship, and Qi Daoxiong would announce the news together, because Wanbao Pavilion also needed to give an explanation to each passenger.

After a burst of spiritual pressure from high-level cultivators, the scene quickly became quiet. Li Shiying took two steps forward and said, "Because of this special incident, I have caused some inconvenience and trouble to everyone. On behalf of Wanbao Pavilion, I would like to apologize to everyone.

So in order to give you an explanation, we have decided that the cost of this boat ride will be borne by Wanbao Pavilion and the Qi Family together."

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous cheers rang out from below. For many casual cultivators, one or two hundred spirit stones is already a huge expense. Some people may have to save for a long time to save enough for the boat ride.

After everyone below cheered, Qi Daoxiong also stepped forward and said, "On behalf of the Qi family, I apologize to you all. The Qi family will bear half of your boat fare this time.

But the murderer of my grandson has not been found yet. If you can provide effective clues, the Qi family will reward you with 10,000 spirit stones.

If the murderer can be found directly, the Qi family will reward a foundation-building pill. Fellow Daoist Li Shiying of Wanbao Pavilion and Master Chenshan of Qingyun Sect will be witnesses. The Qi family will never break their promise. "

As soon as the words fell, the scene became lively again. Not to mention the 10,000 spirit stones, the Foundation Establishment Pill alone was too attractive to 99% of the Qi Refining cultivators present.

After the crowd calmed down, Chen Shan said, "The Qi family just offered a reward. If you have any clues or know who the murderer is,

You can also come to the garrison in the center of Qiyun City to find me. As long as you can prove that it is true, I will immediately reward you and I will never break my promise. "

After hearing what Master Chenshan said, the people below began to talk among themselves, but after waiting for a while, no one stood up to say anything.

Zhenren Shenshan and several people from the Qi family could only leave in disappointment.
