At this point, he already feels that the strength of his body is not far from reaching the Third-Layer Body Refining.

He believes that if he achieves a Small Success in the Celestial Essence Eight Techniques tomorrow, his Body Cultivation Realm will surely break through to the Third-Layer Body Refining.

With a Cleaning Technique, he cleansed himself.

Zhou Changwang was about to head to the kitchen when a knock on the door sounded.

"Who is it?"

Zhou Changwang cautiously responded.

"Market Guard Captain, Yan Zhenxi."

A deep voice came from outside the door.

"Market Guard Captain Yan Zhenxi?"

Zhou Changwang was taken aback, but he had heard of the name Yan Zhenxi, as he was one of the Eight Great Guard Captains of the marketplace, with Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

In fact, the Eight Great Guard Captains in the marketplace were all at that realm, and their combat capabilities were not weak.

Before becoming a Market Guard Captain, Yan Zhenxi was actually a well-known Demon Hunter within Fengming Dock Marketplace. Zhou Changwang’s father had once worked in Yan’s team for a period.

Reportedly, Yan’s strength was formidable, and he was fair-minded, not being overly harsh on his father, who was a low-level Innate ’Porter’, and the pay was fairly generous.

However, the sudden appearance of this Guard Captain surprised Zhou Changwang, and he worried that the matter of him killing Insect King Xue Tong might have been exposed, so he quickly asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Open the door first.

There’s something to notify you about."

The other party quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changwang didn’t delay further, and since it seemed to be just a notification, he put down a bit of his concern and opened the door.

Outside, stood a middle-aged cultivator looking somewhat burly. He was wearing a Market Guard Uniform, with slightly thick eyebrows and a sharp gaze. However, there was a scar on his face, adding a bit of fierceness to his presence.

Not far behind him, there was another market guard, talking with Zhou Changwang’s neighbor, the Tomb Raider Cultivator, ’Ghost Eye’ Zhao Shanhe.

"I wonder why Captain Yan is here this time?"

Zhou Changwang asked calmly.

"Last night, several assassination events occurred within the marketplace.

Several chaotic Tribulation Cultivators were killed in public, while others took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

I wanted to inquire with you, did you hear any disturbance last night?"

Yan Zhenxi first explained and then asked.

"Assassination events?

Where?"

Zhou Changwang asked in surprise, then quickly said, "I didn’t hear any disturbances. I stayed home all night and didn’t go out."

"After the night show ended.

By the way, someone saw the appearances of a few Tribulation Cultivators. Take a look or remember them, and if you find anything, report to us promptly.

We’ll offer a certain bounty."

Yan Zhenxi glanced at Zhou Changwang, not suspecting him to be connected to the assassins.

In fact, even before the investigation, they had ’checked’ tenant information from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, knowing that Zhou Changwang was a native of Fengming Dock Marketplace, previously a Spirit Farmer, low in strength, and unlikely to have any connection with those Tribulation Cultivators.

Then, he took out several portraits and displayed them in front of Zhou Changwang.

Zhou Changwang glanced over them, three men and one woman, none of whom he recognized.

But Immortal Cultivators have countless methods, and it’s hard to assure that none have practiced Disguise and Bone-Shrinking Technique or used Disguise Technique, Face Changing Skill illusion magic; the face might not be real.

Zhou Changwang first shook his head, then curiously asked, "What’s the bounty?"

"Report a Tribulation Cultivator’s location, reward of one hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, if you kill one, reward one thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."

Yan Zhenxi initially said, then cast a glance at Zhou Changwang and said, "Just forget about it, don’t get involved in the bustle."

Then he paused and said, "Actually, I know your father.

He was considered quite capable and had some ideas as an Innate Martial Artist.

Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time and lacked a Spiritual Root, or else his achievements wouldn’t be small.

However, I haven’t seen him for several years. When checking your rental information before, I saw his name and was reminded of such a friend.

How is he nowadays?"

"I didn’t expect Captain Yan to still remember my father? My father did mention Captain Yan, saying that during his time in the Hunting Team, Captain Yan took a lot of care of him.

As for my father now, he has returned to the secular world, enjoying retirement life."

Zhou Changwang said unexpectedly, then quickly explained.

He wasn’t surprised by how the other might have obtained this rental information.

The house he previously lived in on the outskirts of the marketplace was rented in his father’s name, and now, upon changing residences, it’s naturally recorded under names.

The other noticing a familiar name and paying attention is also normal.

"Returned to the secular world?

That’s good.

Returning to the secular world is indeed a good choice for him."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhenxi also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing to hear news of an old friend’s death.

"Then Uncle Yan, do you know who were the assassination targets? How many died?

If they were ordinary folk, shouldn’t you restrain from going to such great lengths?"

Zhou Changwang, understanding the art of borrowing momentum, quickly changed his address and inquired casually.

"Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked.

In short, stay indoors for a period, don’t get involved in any excitement.

I still have work to do, so I’ll not say much."

Yan Zhenxi glared at Zhou Changwang but reminded him nonetheless.

Then hurriedly headed to other homes.
