Chapter 101.

Under the dark streets, there was a woman in black at the moment, running continuously.

Behind the woman in black, there was a humanoid object made up of an unknown metal.

In the hands of the humanoid object, a man was being carried.

The bumps in the running increased dramatically, and the unconscious man gradually woke up.

Yu Hang transformed from fuzzy consciousness to wakefulness, looking at the streets around him that were rapidly receding, his face was filled with shock.

He remembered that he had been knocked out by a puff of smoke earlier when he was shading inside the room.

Yu Hang raised his head and surveyed his surroundings, just in time to see the woman in black running in front of him, and couldn’t help but shout out.

“Who are you? What do you want?”

The surrounding regressive scenery suddenly stopped, Mi Mo turned her head and looked at the awakened Yu Hang, revealing a mysterious smile.

“You’re awake.”

Yu Hang always felt that the current scene was very dangerous, especially this iron lump behind him, cackling a little painfully.

And this woman in front of him seemed to give off a dangerous aura.

“Shouldn’t I …… be awake?” Yu Hang asked cautiously.

Since the appearance of the Beast Cult, he felt that he was very unlucky, encountering danger one after another.

Although each time he had turned the danger into a success, each time was thrilling enough.

Now that he had been inexplicably kidnapped, he felt that he had to go to the temple one day to burn incense.

Of course, the main thing, was to solve the current predicament first.

“It’s fine if you wake up, just pass out right away.” Mi Mo said seriously.

With these words, Yu Hang could feel that the iron lump behind him raised his hand, and by the looks of it, it seemed like he was going to knock himself out.

“Wait! You can at least give me a reason!” Yu Hang hurriedly said.

Mi Mo paused slightly and thought for a moment, revealing an interested smile, “The reason is very simple, I want your friend to participate in this Casting Dao Competition, but he seems to be very spontaneous, so I’ll have to force him.”

“Why?” Yu Hang was speechless, “Why are you all forcing him?”

He felt especially helpless, his own brother was actually an extraordinarily low-key person, but every time, there was trouble finding him.

“He’s very strong oh.” Mi Mo tapped her white chin with her finger and said, “I’m here to mess things up this time, so the more complicated I make things, the better.”

To mess things up?

Yu Hang didn’t know what that meant, he always felt that there was something wrong.

Before he could speak, he heard a gust of wind and turned his head to look just in time to see Iron Bump’s hand land on his neck.

The feeling of dizziness returned.

Yu Hang didn’t have time to prepare and immediately fainted.

“You talk a lot.”

Mi Mo didn’t say anything else and led Yu Hang to withdraw quickly.

The next day.

When the first light of the morning shone in, Zhou An walked out from his room.

After returning last night, he had only livered for a while in the Butcher’s Sword Technique.

Originally, he wanted to find Yu Hang and ask him how to improve the skill of reading a hundred scrolls, after all, Yu Hang was also a scholar.

But there were too many things that happened last night, and Yu Hang’s mood wasn’t very good, so he thought to wait for one night.

This morning was just right.

He planned to find Yu Hang first and see if he could feel out the clues to proficiency.

“Knock knock knock!”

At this time of the day, not many people had come out yet, and the alley was quiet.

Zhou An gently knocked on the door.

The old wooden door gave out a thud.

Zhou An couldn’t help but frown when he realized that no one had responded.

“With Old Yu’s nature, he should be up reading at this hour.”

Although it was very early at this hour, Yu Hang should already be reading.

Even if something had happened last night, but with Yu Hang’s character, he wouldn’t delay this morning reading.

“Strange.”

Zhou Xin thought this in his heart, and the force of his knock became one point greater.

As the force of his knock increased, the door was pushed open by Zhou An.

“Unlocked?”

Zhou An was slightly stunned and then surveyed the scene in the house.

He saw the empty house and found no trace of Yu Hang.

Zhou An raised his foot and walked in.

The next moment, he saw the letter paper placed on the table.

“Something’s not right.”

Zhou An developed a bad feeling and came to the table, picking up the envelope.

After opening the envelope, he saw a letter filled with words inside.

“Could it be that he’s had bad luck again?”

Zhou An suddenly had this thought and subconsciously opened this letter.

There was a lot of content inside, but most of it was nonsense.

After Zhou An read all of the contents once, he put the letter paper away with an expressionless face.

The content on it was very simple, it just told him that Yu Hang had been kidnapped, and if he wanted Yu Hang to be safe and sound, he should go and participate in the Yunlai Province’s Casting Dao Competition.

As for the rest, there were no extra hints.

Of course, this piece of letter paper was also laced with a lot of mental blurb, just like a person with a lot of nonsense.

“All here to give me a hard time, right?”

Zhou An looked expressionless on the surface, but in fact, his heart had grown colder and colder.

He just wanted to quietly liver proficiency, but there were always people looking for things for him.

The most crucial thing was that this matter had nothing to do with Yu Hang, but the other party was using Yu Hang to threaten him.

Couldn’t bear it.

It had been said before that Zhou An usually didn’t go out of his way to cause trouble, but once someone messed with him, that person had to be uprooted.

The Beast Cult Master was like this, and the same was true for Magistrate Chen.

The only way to develop silently was to eliminate all the hidden dangers around him.

Now that the hidden dangers had appeared once again, Zhou An felt that it was time to drain the hidden dangers.

He carefully recalled the contents of the letter and quickly obtained some information.

“The other party knows that Yu Hang and I are close, that’s why he kidnapped Yu Hang, and the purpose is to make me participate in the Casting Dao Competition.”

“He can’t be Old Zhao or someone I’m familiar with because they know my temperament.”

“The other party should be a stranger who stumbled upon my abnormality by chance and then came up with this idea.”

“Most importantly, this person should have something to do with the Dao Casting Competition.”

Organizing the information that came to mind, Zhou An immediately came up with an answer.

He did not stay in Yu Hang’s room, but instead took the letter with him and headed to the blacksmith store where Blacksmith Zhao was.

Since he was a person of the Casting Dao, he must be from this circle.

Old Zhao’s circle was very wide, so there shouldn’t be any problems with asking him to help take a look.

Now that Yu Hang had been kidnapped, Zhou An was still a little anxious in his heart.

When he arrived at the blacksmith store, he happened to hear the noise from the blacksmith store again.

Needless to say, it was that Qi Shuo fellow coming again.

Outside the blacksmith store, there were still those guards.

This time, after Zhou An came to the blacksmith store, the guards stopped blocking him.

These guards also had eyesight, they knew that even their own masters were courteous to Zhou An, so they naturally wouldn’t be offended.

Zhou An smoothly entered the blacksmith store, and just as he came in, he saw Blacksmith Zhao raising his fist, ready to give Qi Shuo a seal.

But with Zhou An’s arrival, the two people present stopped.

Especially Blacksmith Zhao, who seemed to see Zhou An’s problem.

“You have a heavy killing aura.” Blacksmith Zhao slowly said.

In his life, Old Zhao was actually a rather scenic person.

From a marketplace blacksmith to his current position, to be honest, he had experienced quite a few things, so he could tell at first glance.

Qi Shuo was the same, the most important thing for a shrewd businessman was eyesight.

This eyesight wasn’t about having good eyesight, but being able to spot things that others couldn’t.

“Brother Zhou, what have you encountered here, just tell me if something happens, I’ll help you smooth things out.”

Qi Shuo was the first to boast.

Regardless of whether you could do it or not, agreeing to it first was the only way to set a good impression on the other party.

If you can’t do it well later, just say that you’ve gone through a lot of trouble and have done your best, and the other party won’t be blamed for it.

“You guys take a look at this letter.” Zhou An placed the letter on the table.

Blacksmith Zhao felt curious and picked up the letter, still talking.

“What kind of mysterious stuff is your brat up to again?”

Qi Shuo also curiously came over.

After the two saw the contents of the letter, they coincidentally changed their faces.

“Who did this!”

The two asked this together.

Zhao Blacksmith himself was a straightforward person who would never do such a thing and abhorred it.

He was extremely hateful of such threatening tactics.

Qi Shuo also had the same attitude.

He was a businessman, but from the time he was in business, he would never do underhanded things.

The mall was like a battlefield, and although his mall was also characterized by open swords and dark arrows, this kind of thing of threatening other people’s friends was really too classless.

Zhou An’s face was icy: “Early in the morning I realized that Yu Hang had disappeared, one of you is in the circle and the other has a wide range of connections, so I wanted to come over and ask.”

Blacksmith Zhao fell into deep thought, after a moment, he laughed bitterly, “Zhou An, you’re looking down on me too much, I really can’t find it with just a letter, but I can think of one problem, the other party’s identity is by no means simple.”

“What makes it so?” Zhou An asked.

Blacksmith Zhao said, “Think carefully, with the strength you have nowadays, someone could take Yu Hang under your nose?”

“In other words, the one who was able to take him away is either stronger than you or has used a special method, if the one who is stronger than you wouldn’t have done such a thing, he would have taken you away directly.”

“The other party has a special method, we people of the Casting Dao, if we get something from our elders, we are able to exert a certain effect, I guess this is the reason.”

Zhou An heard and understood, but was clueless.

“I’ll go find the Zhen Gui Si.”

He felt that he had these resources to use, and since Yu Hang was obviously kidnapped by someone in the line of work, looking for the Zhen Gui Si was the right thing to do.

When I used to read novels, I always felt that a protagonist, even if he was highly powerful, was always alone and would not use the power behind him.

In fact, when a person’s strength is high, the power behind him must not be small.

If one was still fighting alone at that point, it would obviously be very fake.

Zhou An was different, he had such resources around him, and he was going to use them.

“If you have any news, you can talk to me, maybe I can help, after all, in this circle of the Casting Dao, I still have a bit of a role to play.” Blacksmith Zhao said.

Qi Shuo also made himself known at this time, “The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce can also help you.”

“Thanks a lot.” Zhou An arched his hand and walked out with a calm expression.

When Zhou An left, Qi Shuo was a little puzzled.

“That person is Brother Zhou’s good friend, but Brother Zhou has a calm face, as if he isn’t angry at all.”

He felt something was wrong, Zhou An’s expression was too flat.

Blacksmith Zhao swept Qi Shuo a glance, “You are at least a businessman, don’t you know a saying?”

“The calmer underneath the surface, the more an erupting volcano.”

“I’m afraid that this person who offended Zhou An, no matter if it’s a man or a woman, it’s not going to be easy.”

“Oh?” Qi Shuo became interested, “Senior Zhao seems to know Zhou An very well, can you tell me about it?”

Actually, Qi Shuo was also curious.

He knew that Zhou An and Blacksmith Zhao had a good relationship, but just now, Zhou An said that he was going to the Zhen Gui Division, and his expression was an understatement, suggesting that the relationship with the Zhen Gui Division was also good.

Obviously a particularly low-profile person, yet he was related to all the big shots in Anding County, which was a bit interesting.

Blacksmith Zhao picked up the iron material next to him and threw it into the fireplace next to him.

“Anyway, just don’t mess with him, the reason why Wu Youde came here is because the previous magistrate was slaughtered by Zhou An himself.”

Qi Shuo sniffed and sucked in a breath of cool air.

This kind of secret information was something he really hadn’t heard before, and it was likely that the Zhen Gui Si had blocked it.

“You remember, you can’t mention this to anyone else, or if you lose your head one day, you won’t have a place to regret it.” Blacksmith Zhao mentioned another sentence.

Qi Shuo hurriedly nodded, indicating that his mouth was tight.

However, his expression still had shock on it, and he clearly hadn’t reacted yet.

Zhou An didn’t know what happened behind him, he had already arrived at the Zhen Gui Si.

When he told Zhang Si Xian about what happened, Zhang Si Xian immediately set out to investigate.

Throughout the process, Zhou An also followed the members of the Zhen Gui Si.

They first went to the missing house in Yuhang, then searched inside the county, and until the afternoon, there was still no news.

The final result was that the other party had already left Anding County.

After returning to Zhen Gui Si, Zhang Si Xian had a helpless look on his face.

“Indeed we can’t find it, our side has also gone through the information, it is absolutely impossible for another expert to come out of Anding County and be able to hide it from your ears.”

“Recently there have been a lot of people passing through Anding County, all of them are studying casting dao, perhaps it really was an expert in casting dao who did this, just like you guessed.”

“The other party should have known about your abilities, so they wanted to force you to participate in this Casting Dao Competition.”

Zhou An remained silent while Zhang Si Xian spoke.

This silence was as deep as the night, making Zhang Si Xian feel uneasy.

“Zhou An, don’t do anything foolish.” Zhang Si Xian said.

He knew Zhou An’s temper and was worried about this temper coming up.

Zhou An sniffed and shook his head, saying, “I’m going to participate in the Casting Dao Competition.”

Zhang Si County was slightly stunned.

Zhou An’s expression was very indifferent, “Then rescue Yu Hang, catch the person who kidnapped Yu Hang and slaughter him.”

The tone was very calm, but the murderous aura on his body grew colder and colder.

“I never want to offend anyone, but maybe it’s really as Old Zhao said.”

“If I keep a low profile, it’s like anyone can ride on my head.”

“A bunch of mongrels, who are they to dare jump on my head?”

Hearing this, Zhang Si Xian hesitantly said, “You don’t intend to keep a low profile?”
