Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2516: Chapter 2517: Gathering Information

”I... I don’t know!” The Za Family disciple struggled to say.

”Husband, why be polite with someone like this? Just swallow him whole!” The woman next to him spoke in a cold tone.

Hearing this, the Za Family disciple shivered all over, and cold sweat immediately appeared.

He had no doubt about the truthfulness of the woman’s words.

After all, it’s Taotie!

One of the ancient beasts, eating a person is nothing out of the ordinary.

”You’re right. Since he doesn’t know the whereabouts of our son, we might as well eat him!” the man agreed.

”No, no, no, although I have no clue now, if you give me a little time, I can definitely find out!”

”Really?” the man asked in a deep voice.

”Of course, it’s true. Have you forgotten? I hail from the Za Family, the clan best at gathering information!”

”Although I’ve retired, many of the connections I established before are still there. Just give me a day—no, at most half a day—and I can find the young master’s whereabouts for you!”

”Alright, in that case, we’ll trust you this once!” The man waved his hand as he spoke.

A beam of light directly entered the forehead of the Za Family disciple.

”This is an aura I planted in your mind. If you dare deceive us, your head will explode like a rotten watermelon, understood?”

”Yes, yes, yes! I understand!”

The Za Family disciple repeatedly nodded in agreement, while inwardly lamenting.

He initially thought to brush them off with words, but the two beasts were not fools, and their actions were seamless.

Thus, he had to abandon his delusions and seriously ponder how to gather information.

”Tonight at midnight, we will meet at this place again, and I shall present the information on the young master!” After thinking for a moment, the Za Family disciple spoke seriously.

”Good! Jiang Cunliang, I hope you will faithfully honor your commitment, or else bear the consequences!”

With that, the Taotie couple turned and left, leaving Jiang Cunliang standing there, his face somewhat pale.

He really hadn’t expected the Taotie man to utter his true name in an instant.

If he had entertained even a shred of the idea of giving them false information before, he dared not harbor any such illusion now.

But how was he supposed to gather information?

Though he claimed earlier to have many connections, it was merely an excuse to deal with the Taotie couple temporarily.

Let alone that he had already left the Za Family. Even if he hadn’t, he was just an ordinary disciple. In the Sky Beyond the Skies, with his status, what talk is there about connections?

After racking his brain for a while and coming up with no good method, Jiang Cunliang could only bite the bullet and return to Tianjie, hoping to take a chance in taverns and tea houses.

What if someone knew something!

At the same moment, the Taotie couple had also arrived at a certain place in Tianjie.

After confirming no one was following them and that no one around was paying attention, the woman couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, then whispered.

”Husband, do you think Jiang Cunliang can really find out our son’s whereabouts?”

The man sighed, shook his head, and said.

”I don’t know either, but having one more person means one more hope. Besides, he is, after all, from the Za Family, who are better at gathering information than we are.”

Tears unknowingly filled the woman’s eyes, ”I don’t even know how our son is doing now, whether he’s still being held captive!”

Her crying made the man’s mood heavy as well.

They were indeed members of the Taotie clan.

But even though they are descended from ancient beasts, the Taotie clan has seriously declined now.

The entire clan numbers only a few dozen, all living in the desolate void deserts.

Speaking of Jiang Cunliang fearing Taotie, aren’t the Taotie afraid of humans too?

If not for looking for their lost son, this Taotie couple would never take such a great risk, disguising themselves as humans to enter this territory.

It’s important to understand they are inherently beasts, completely different from humans in temperament, and being isolated in the void, they are ignorant of the outside world.

So when they came to this human-controlled territory, they were in the dark.

For an entire year, they aimlessly wandered, finding no clues whatsoever.

Until they heard about the Bai Family Assembly, they had a sudden thought to try their luck with the Yin and Yang Clan.

But they also knew that many top human warriors would appear at the Bai Family Assembly, far from what they could offend, and if their identities were revealed, they might not even be able to survive.

So they were extremely cautious all the way, afraid of revealing their identities again.

They dared not make too much contact with humans.

As a result, they obviously couldn’t hear any news.

Until this time, by chance, they heard Jiang Cunliang’s loud talk outside the Luofu Gate.

They immediately thought he must be someone well-informed, possibly knowing their child’s whereabouts.

So they took the risk to confront Jiang Cunliang.

While the Taotie couple went to await information, Jiang Cunliang thought for a long time before finally making up his mind and arriving at a tavern located in a place on Tianjie.

In this bustling commercial area, there are naturally many taverns.

But the tavern Jiang Cunliang stood before was different because it was directly run by the Yin and Yang Clan.

In terms of scale, it is the largest in all of Tianjie and has countless unimaginably precious ingredients.

Paired with the Yin and Yang Clan’s background, no one dared cause trouble there, resulting in many patrons, making it the best choice for gathering information.

It was a lively time, with the tavern full of distinguished guests and scarcely an empty seat.

Watching the welcomers and waiters dressed in elegant clothes at the entrance, Jiang Cunliang couldn’t help but feel.

The merchants were indeed the sect in the Sky Beyond the Skies that excelled at taking advantage and seizing opportunities. Since attaching themselves to the Yin and Yang Clan, their business flourished, and their influence increased significantly.

Not to mention, the profits from Tianjie’s thoroughfare alone were astronomical.

Therefore, these merchant disciples all rose to incredible status.

For instance, the waiters now should be outer disciples of the merchant family.

Looking at himself, although coming from a small sect, compared to them, he was far behind.

Even now, he was being threatened by two Taotie beasts, truly worlds apart.
