The children of the Chai family who were guarding the door moved out of the way. Li Lingsu pushed open the half-open door, and the scenery inside came into view.

In a small house, there were two rows of upright corpses. They once wore hoods, but now they were all removed and dumped on the ground.

Between the two rows of corpses were Chai Xing'er and three clan elders, one with thin hair, one with a tall build, and one with a broken arm.

Are these the iron corpses? Li Lingsu moved his eyes and looked at the beautiful wife in a light blue dress.

The latter was also looking at him, his eyes were like clear autumn pools, with a bit of tenderness and a bit of dissatisfaction: "Why are you here?"

"I heard that someone invaded the cellar last night, so I came over to take a look."

Li Lingsu ignored the scrutinizing gazes of the three clan elders, walked to Chai Xing'er, and said with a smile, "I haven't lost anything."

Chai Xing'er shook her head, turned to the three clan elders and said, "The thief was able to sneak into Chai Mansion late at night without alerting the guards or disturbing the clan members guarding the cellar. It shows that he knows the environment and defense of Chai Mansion very well."

A clan elder with thinning hair muttered: "Xing'er means that Chai Xian did it?"

"Who else besides him?" Chai Xing'er asked with a sneer.

The burly clan elder murmured to himself: "Take off the hoods of all the zombies. As expected, they are looking for someone. Who is he looking for?"

The elder of the Broken Arm clan said calmly: "Xiao Lan has been missing for many days. Could it be that he thought Xiao Lan was dead and turned into a walking corpse? This kid is really crazy..."

Chai Xing'er was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of Li Lingsu standing in front of a corpse, looking at it silently.

The corpse had clear facial features. He was about thirty years old. He must have been a handsome man when he was alive.

"He is my husband."

Chai Xinger said calmly.

Li Lingsu said "Hmm" and raised his hand to pinch the male corpse's shoulder, confirming that it was an iron corpse.

"Three uncles"

Chai Xinger glanced at the three old people.

The clan elders nodded slightly and left the room for the time being.

After the wooden door was closed, Chai Xing'er walked to Li Lingsu, stood side by side with him, looked at the male corpse calmly, and said softly:

"I rarely tell you about him."

"Do not want to know."

Li Lingsu turned around and left.

"Li Lang"

Chai Xing'er pulled him, her hands were cold, her tone became a little anxious, and she said, "It's not what you think."

Before Li Lingsu could speak, she explained very quickly:

"Back then, the eldest brother and he were out on business, and encountered revenge from their enemies on the way. He was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread. In order to survive, the eldest brother forged him into an iron corpse, and then he escaped and fled back with his tribe.

"After I found out about this, I had a quarrel with my elder brother, and then I ran away from home to relax, and I met you not long after.

"It's not because I'm still in love with him that I turned him into an iron corpse and kept him by my side."

Li Lingsu was silent for a moment and said, "I believe you."

"Chai Xing'er's ex-husband died at the hands of Chai Jianyuan and was turned into an iron corpse."

In the inn, listening to Li Lingsu's "report", Xu Qian seemed to smell a family drama.

This increases the possibility that Chai Xinger is the real culprit behind the scenes.

Although her ex-husband was seriously injured at the time and his life was hanging by a thread. If he could not break the situation, being killed was the only outcome. However, he died at the hands of Chai Jianyuan and was turned into an iron corpse.

Well, being able to immediately turn him into an iron corpse means that Chai Xing'er's ex-husband was at least a sixth-grade copper-skinned and iron-boned man. Chai Jianyuan turned him into an iron corpse, and his enemies probably cursed him.

After finally killing one, he was resurrected with full health in another way.

"Ask Mr. Chai about her ex-husband."

"That's it?" Li Lingsu frowned.

"Um!"

Xu Qian took a sip of tea and nodded.

Li Lingsu was silent for a few seconds and said helplessly: "If she is really the mastermind behind the scenes, how will you treat her?"

Xu Qian looked at him: "Killing my brother, committing multiple murders, is a capital crime!"

Li Lingsu's face turned a little ugly. After being silent for a while, he said in a deep voice:

"I will abolish her cultivation, take her back to Tianzong, and never let her go down the mountain for the rest of her life. If senior wants to kill her, you can try to kill me first."

He cupped his hands and turned to leave.

"Tsk tsk, this Holy Son of Tianzong is quite interesting."

Munan Zhi said with a smile: "With the purpose of provoking so many women, the ultimate goal is to forget them. As a result, it seems that he has fallen in love with every woman."

Therefore, Tianzong wants to recycle fake and inferior products. The Holy Son is following an evil path, Xu Qianxin said.

Under the table, Mu Nanzhi kicked him lightly and said narrowly: "Romantic Xu Yinluo, if you were Li Lingsu and had such a confidante commit a serious crime, what would you do?"

Xu Qi'an thought about it seriously and said, "If that confidante named Mu Nanzhi makes a big mistake, I will definitely take care of business."

"What did you say!"

Mu Nanzhi was furious and made a fierce expression, as if he wanted to cut Xu Qian into pieces.

But the next moment, the anger on her face was replaced by embarrassment, her face turned red, and she spat: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Who is your confidante? Shameless!

Thump thump thump, stamping on his insteps under the table.

After she was done with her anger, Xu Qian said:

"I was just perfunctory with Li Lingsu and gave him some work. For us, investigating the case is not important. Obtaining the dragon energy is the key."

The case is not urgent. Chai Xian has been wronged for so long anyway and does not care about this moment. But the group of monks Jingxin Jingyuan are also in Xiangzhou. It is like there is a tiger lying on the bed.

The threat is simply too great.

He had an agreement with the pagoda spirit of the pagoda that he was not allowed to use it against Buddhist disciples, but he could protect himself, such as retreating into the pagoda and driving the pagoda to escape.

In other words, Xu Qian can at best keep himself undefeated, but lacks the strength to be tough.

Under such circumstances, if Chai Xian met Jing Xin and others face to face, there would be absolutely no way to hide the fact that Chai Xian is the host of dragon energy.

Since Buddhism goes to the Central Plains to collect dragon energy, it must have a way to identify the host of dragon energy.

Therefore, what is really urgent is not the case, but finding Chai Xian.

"By the way, how are the nine-color lotus roots growing?"

Munan Zhi said proudly, tilted her face and raised her chin: "Within three months, it will be fully mature, and in another three months, it will produce lotus seeds."

As expected of the reincarnation of the Flower God, the progress is very fast. There is no rush for the lotus seeds. First, cut the lotus roots to an old man from the Wulin Alliance to help him break through and enter the second level. Xu Qi'an nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Besides, in a few days, the Imperial Master may come to me and have something to do. Well, I may leave her for a few days."

Hearing this, Munan Zhi turned back and frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Just doing business"

"Um?"

Just doing things, didn't I say that? Xu Qian lowered his head and drank tea.

Munan Zhi glanced at him suspiciously and muttered: "Shen Mi Mi, tell me what happened. She is not easy to get along with, but I have a very good relationship with her and can mediate between you."

Ah, this, Princess, wait until everyone is familiar with this kind of thing before trying it. Xu Qian casually put it off, and then changed the subject:

"I'm going out for a while."

Xu Qian changed into an ordinary cotton robe and left the inn.

He plans to encourage Chai Xian to confront Chai Xing'er at the Demon Slaying Conference. Chai Xian will definitely not show up in person, and will mostly control the walking corpse, but there is a distance limit for controlling the walking corpse.

With Xu Qi'an's current range of perception of dragon energy, it is not difficult to find Chai Xian's hiding place just by driving the pagoda and looking down from the air.

Chai Mansion.

In the courtyard where the Buddhist monks stayed, Chai Xing'er took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and said with her head turned:

"Master Jing Xin, I hope you can come forward to uphold justice at tomorrow's Demon Slaying Conference and call on those in the right path to join forces to eradicate this ungrateful person like Chai Xian."

Zhangzhou is one of the granaries of Dafeng. Although there are some poorer places like Xiangzhou, they generally have enough food and clothing.

As we all know, the richer the place, the weaker the fighting power of the local people. The poorer the country, the easier it is for ruthless and unruly people to appear.

In addition, the imperial court attached great importance to Zhangzhou's grain-producing areas and deliberately suppressed Jianghu forces and prevented the birth of large-scale Jianghu gangs.

As a result, Zhangzhou's martial arts has not been prosperous since ancient times, and fourth-level masters are rare.

"I have traveled through the Central Plains and am deeply saddened by what happened in Xiangzhou in recent days."

Jingxin said slowly, "It's a pity that the Dafeng court banned Buddhism from preaching. As a result, natural and man-made disasters continued in Dafeng, and the people were in poverty, with refugees everywhere."
