Lu Fan gave a slight shrug, his expression indifferent. He had his reasons for acting this way, otherwise, Jiang Caishen wouldn't have let him off so easily.
"Since you've put it that way, we'll do as you say!" Jiang Caishen nodded. "What do you want me to do for you?"
"I'm looking for something. It was once in Jiangbei City, then I took it away, only to have it stolen later!" Lu Fan stated directly. "If you can help me find it, I will certainly fulfill your wish!"
"What is it?"
Jiang Caishen seemed a bit surprised, Lu Fan's words piqued his curiosity.
"Nine Dragon Grass!"
Lu Fan's expression was serious, showing no hesitation. The Nine Dragon Grass was no trivial matter and could not be treated carelessly.
"Nine Dragon Hall!"
Jiang Caishen frowned. "The Nine Dragon Grass is no ordinary item; it is a sacred object of the Heavenly God Temple. How did it end up in your hands?" Su Dan Novel Network
"I exchanged it with the Heavenly God Temple using the Vajra Sutra. Now it's been stolen, and I suspect it was done by someone from the Heavenly God Temple!" Lu Fan said bluntly, his words direct.
"I see!"
Jiang Caishen nodded, instantly understanding. He could see the underlying current in Lu Fan's statement.
"So, can you take this deal?" Liu Ruyan asked, without any pretense.
"Of course!" Jiang Caishen nodded. "But as I said, if I provide the exact location, you must give me the latter half of the Five Elements Secret Art!"
"Senior, rest assured, I will never go back on my word!" Lu Fan nodded, his gaze earnest.
With that, Jiang Caishen nodded slightly and began to employ the ancient secret art, intending to trace the true whereabouts of the Nine Dragon Grass.
Lu Fan was also curious, wondering what method the ancient secret art used to track the Nine Dragon Grass.
Just then, an image suddenly appeared before them, showing the scene of their ambush, which caused them to exclaim in surprise.
"What kind of secret technique is this? To be able to do this!" Liu Ruyan was incredulous, her heart trembling.
After all, such a powerful secret technique had never been seen before. The ability to recreate the scene was truly unexpected.
On the mountaintop, Lu Fan's Nine Dragon Hall was snatched by a man in black. After obtaining the Nine Dragon Grass, the man in black left directly and arrived in Jiangbei City.
Looking at the figure, Liu Shuqin suddenly exclaimed, "This person looks so familiar. I think I've seen them somewhere before!"
"The Underground Chamber of Commerce!"
Jiang Caishen stated directly. "These people are all from the Underground Chamber of Commerce, and they are a group of desperate men. Now that the Nine Dragon Grass is in their hands, you must be careful not to fall into their trap!"
"Thank you for your concern, Senior. But what is the current exact location of the Nine Dragon Hall?" Lu Fan asked, slightly confused.
"That's right, it's indeed in the Underground Chamber of Commerce!" Jiang Caishen nodded. "As for its specific location, I don't know. You might have to go there yourself!"
"Thank you, Senior!"
Lu Fan nodded and then took out the latter half of the secret art. With the situation having developed this far, they could only take it one step at a time.
After leaving Jiang Caishen's shop, Lu Fan and the others prepared to head to the Underground Chamber of Commerce. Liu Shuqin quickly stepped forward to stop them. "Don't do anything rash. The Underground Chamber of Commerce is a place with many eyes and ears, and it's full of experts. If you act carelessly there, it will cause endless trouble!"
"It's fine, you don't need to worry about these things!" Lu Fan waved his hand, his gaze indifferent.
"I know you are not ordinary people, and I know you are the King of the Northwest, so you wouldn't care about these things. But some matters are not as simple as they seem!" Liu Shuqin spoke again. "I think we should make a long-term plan!"
"Since we already know the location, we cannot delay!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "However, I still thank you for your kindness. If it weren't for you, I might not have known the true whereabouts of the Nine Dragon Grass."
After speaking, Lu Fan headed towards the Underground Chamber of Commerce, his eyes filled with determination. With things having turned out this way, it was probably the only thing they could do now.
Meanwhile, within the Underground Chamber of Commerce, many people were observing, their gazes fixed on Lu Fan with significant meaning.
"Within the Underground Chamber of Commerce, who stole the Nine Dragon Grass?" Lu Fan asked directly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
The people in the Underground Chamber of Commerce continued with their business, heads bowed, not paying Lu Fan any mind. They seemed to be unconcerned with what Lu Fan had said.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, a sharp aura emanating from him. "Do you really think you can escape this predicament by remaining silent?"
As soon as he spoke, a man beside him burst into laughter. "This is the Underground Chamber of Commerce, a place where all sorts of people gather. Who are you talking to here? We are all people who are not afraid of death!"
"Not afraid of death?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Shall I try?"
The man's face instantly turned ashen, his gaze towards Lu Fan filled with hostility.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, so why are you being so forceful?" Liu Shuqin interjected. "Besides, with just a few of you, do you really think you can cause trouble?"
The men exchanged glances but said nothing further. Although they were from the Underground Chamber of Commerce, they were not the ones who had stolen the Nine Dragon Grass, and naturally, they did not wish to stir up trouble here.
As Lu Fan and his companions ventured deeper, they spotted several figures not far from the Underground Chamber of Commerce. Lu Fan recognized these figures and a slight smile played on his lips. "It seems it's them!"
The few men frowned upon seeing Lu Fan, clearly not expecting him to show up there, which caught them off guard.
"Hand over the item!" Lu Fan said coldly. "Perhaps then you can escape with your lives. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky!"
The few men smiled and looked at Lu Fan simultaneously. "What are you talking about, kid? We don't understand. This is the territory of the Heavenly Tiger Gang. If you want us to do something for you, we're happy to oblige. But if you're looking for trouble here, don't say we didn't warn you!"
