The lights in the sword-holding hall are brightly lit.
Zheng Ling sat on the stage with a high pitch, her face no longer calm at all.
She was a little impatient, but at this moment a group of Liuhuan Peak disciples hurried back from outside.
As soon as she saw the other party, Zheng Lingyin sat up.
"How's it going? Did you find the person?" she asked quickly.
Among the crowd was Prime Minister Zheng, who hurriedly said: "Miss, we have blocked the city gate and monitored Chu Qingxiao's residence and Sun Li's residence, but we found no trace of them."
Another Ji disciple continued: "Sun Li's family left the building empty. In the courtyard where Chu Qingxiao lived, there were only an old man and a handyman disciple named Yue Jian, but Lu Sandao from Qingque Peak was there.
We rushed in and searched."
"We also went to Shanshuigou, but maybe we didn't have enough time. When we went there, we only saw Zhu Quan and Meng Jin, and no one else was there."
Hearing these words, Zheng Lingyin frowned: "Then where else can they hide?"
She has personally seen the prairie fire sword. This sword is very special. The sword spirit in it is almost psychic and contains divinity. As long as these divine objects are nourished, they can be promoted to Tiangang-level divine swords. And because her cultivation is different from others
Different relationships, unlike most of the disciples who relied on the Sword Observation and Nurturing Art to gain recognition from the Spiritual Sword in the Yaoguang Sword Pool, she can control two divine swords.
But also because of some special wishes, the remaining Tiangang Divine Swords in the Yaoguang Sword Pool were unable to respond to her call.
But this prairie fire sword, which can be nourished by her and turned into a divine sword, can become a special case.
Once this happens, she has two Tiangang-level divine swords with her. Given time, she may be able to be on an equal footing with Zhao Nianshuang.
To Zheng Lingyin, Zhao Nianshuang was a demon in her heart.
Ever since she entered the practice, Zhao Nianshuang's existence has always been a big mountain weighing on her head.
No matter what achievements she has made or what level of cultivation she has achieved, she will never be able to compare with her.
When others mention the younger generation of Tianxuan Mountain, they always say that she, Zheng Lingyin, is the leader among the younger generation of Tianxuan Mountain, besides Zhao Nianshuang.
This was hard for Zheng Lingyin to accept. Everyone seemed to agree that Zhao Nianshuang could not be compared with ordinary people.
For this reason, she worked extra hard, thinking that one day, she would let the world know that there was not only Zhao Nianshuang in Tianxuan Mountain, but also Zheng Lingyin.
A few days ago, she finally touched the threshold of the Seven Realms. She thought that with this, she would finally have the capital to be on par with Zhao Nianshuang.
Unexpectedly, that guy suddenly broke through and reached the Eighth Realm. Immediately after leaving the seclusion, he claimed to have touched the threshold of the Ninth Realm and retreated again.
Just overnight, the ravine that looked like it was about to be filled in turned into a chasm again.
Zheng Lingyin found it difficult to accept this fact.
Therefore, at this moment, she was extremely eager for the prairie fire sword that could become a divine sword.
Thinking of this, she became more and more irritable, and her voice was filled with strong anger: "Is it possible that they can still fly with wings?"
These disciples who were sent from Liuhuan Peak obviously understand Zheng Lingyin's temper. She is the kind of person who does not get angry easily, but once she gets angry, it will bring disaster to Chi Yu.
Everyone turned pale and lowered their heads.
And Prime Minister Zheng, who was already eager to get rid of his crime and make meritorious service, was even more panicked. At that time, he said: "We have sent people to guard the city gates. It is impossible for them to escape through the eight city gates. How about we send more people to search the city thoroughly?"
!”
Zheng Lingyin glanced at Prime Minister Zheng coldly, extremely dissatisfied with his ability to do things, but she couldn't find any other way at the moment, so she was about to nod in response.
"No need!" At this moment, a dull voice suddenly came from the side.
Everyone in the room looked sideways at this moment and saw a man walking into the hall. He was wearing coarse linen clothes and had a shocking scar on his right cheek that penetrated half of his face.
He is about forty years old, looks resolute, and exudes an aura of danger.
After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the expressions of everyone in the room changed, and even Zheng Lingyin frowned slightly at this moment.
The man's name is Yi Shitai, who is enshrined on Liuhuan Peak.
Originally a disciple of a small sect in Wanzhou, he later defected to the sect and was spotted by Zheng Jingtong and took him under his sect.
He is a prudent man, meticulous in his work, yet ruthless. He is very respected in Liuhuan Peak. In recent years, he has been responsible for almost all the shady things in Liuhuan Peak.
The disciples in Liuhuan Peak are also in awe of him.
"What advice can Yi Zongfeng give me?" Zheng Lingyin came back to her senses and looked at the other person and asked.
Yi Shitai said nothing, but glanced at everyone in the field, and said immediately: "They have already left the city."
"How is that possible?" Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Zheng hurriedly retorted: "A few hours ago, I had sent people to handle the city gates, and people had to check their identities when entering and exiting the city gates, but they were not seen.
"
Yi Shitai glanced at Prime Minister Zheng contemptuously and said, "I also knew some details about that group of people before I came here."
"Among them, Chu Qingxiao, Yue Jian and the old blind man named Xu Dangren are the most suspicious. Looking at the entire file, these three people seem to have appeared out of thin air, although it says that they are from Lingque Town under the rule of Qingque Peak.
People, but before that, there was no record of them in the entire Yu world."
"They're suspicious."
"But the most suspicious thing is that they can actually get involved with Lu Sandao..."
"To deal with such a person, if Miss uses him, isn't that asking for death?"
These words were obviously aimed at Prime Minister Zheng. Prime Minister Zheng also looked very ugly, but he did not dare to refute.
Zheng Lingyin frowned: "Then what did Yi Gongfeng discover? Who are they and how did they get together with Qingque Peak?"
Yi Shitai shook his head: "Miss, I'm sorry, I haven't investigated this step yet."
"Since nothing has been found, why is Yi Zongfeng talking nonsense here?" Hearing this, Prime Minister Zheng finally found an opportunity and spoke angrily at this moment.
After hearing this, Yi Shitai ignored Xiang Zheng and continued: "Although they have not found out their direct lineage, it is unusual for these people to be mixed up with Lu Sandao."
"Looking closely at what they did when they came to Tianxuan City, from Zhu Renzhao to redressing the injustice, to deceiving the truth, to bringing up the case of the Shanshuigou boundary dispute, and finally to stealing the spirit sword, everything seems to be...
It's like striking an egg against a stone, but taking every step properly, so that the sword-wielding hall can't catch it. Such a person will obviously not leave himself a way out before deciding to steal the spirit sword."
"At this moment, three hours have passed since the spirit sword was stolen. If I guessed correctly, they would have left Tianxuan City long ago."
Hearing this, Prime Minister Zheng looked angry and said: "I said, I will carefully examine everyone who enters and exits the city gate, and I will never let them succeed!"
"Deacon Zheng, if you want to seal the city gate, then you have to seal him. But in the past three hours, you have only searched people coming in and out of the city gate. Can you guarantee that they will not blend in with the crowd and leave?" Yi Shitai sided.
He turned his head to look at Zheng Xiang, with a fierce light in his eyes.
That aura made Zheng Xiang's expression change, and he felt a little palpitated for no reason.
"It's impossible to... break it off." He said uncertainly.
But at this time, Yi Shitai took out a roster and threw it in front of Prime Minister Zheng.
"This is the record of people entering and leaving the East City Gate!"
"At three o'clock today, three carriages left Tianxuan City. Why is there no list of the people on the carriages?" Yi Shitai asked at this time.
Hearing this, Zheng Lingyin raised her brows and looked at Prime Minister Zheng, with a cold light flashing in her eyes as well.
Prime Minister Zheng was stunned and quickly picked up the directory and turned to the record Yi Shitai mentioned. After carefully recalling it, he said: "I was also at the East City Gate at that time. Those three carriages were hung with the tokens of Tianxuan Peak. How dare I
Search? What's more, Sun Li is a disciple of Shenhe Peak, and Chu Qingxiao and his group are only somewhat related to Qingque Peak, how can they possibly use Tianxuan Peak's token!"
"Yi Zongfeng, aren't you taking it for granted?"
"Even if you are dissatisfied with me, today's matter is related to the way of cultivation of the young lady. Isn't it too far-fetched for you to try to punish me with three carriages from Tianxuan Peak?"
"This matter is of great importance and involves many things. If there is a large-scale blockade of the city, it will definitely be noticed by those who are interested. By then, all the peaks will be alert. If this matter is exposed, it will not be worth the loss if all the sacred peaks are involved. I am not
I think there’s something very wrong with what I’m doing!”
"Why did you say that Chu Qingxiao and his entourage were hidden in the carriage on the Three Heavenly Hanging Peak?"
Faced with Prime Minister Zheng's excuse, Yi Shitai just sneered and said immediately: "First of all, the person with this kind of token must be a high-level official of Tianxuan Peak. They will only wear it when supervising matters related to the sect."
"But I asked the people at Tianxuan Peak. Today they did not send anyone out of the city to do anything. Besides Tianxuan Peak, the only person who can possess this kind of token is the one who is very close to Tianxuan Peak.
And his daughter has been in Tianxuan City recently."
"Do you think, based on the relationship between his daughter and Meng Ziliang, is it possible that she will help Chu Qingxiao and Sun Li escape Tianxuan City?"
Yi Shitai's speaking speed became extremely slow at this time. As he spoke, he looked at Prime Minister Zheng coldly.
And Zheng Xiang also seemed to realize something, his face gradually became ugly, and cold sweat dripped on his forehead.
"Prime Minister Zheng! How can you not figure this out in advance!?" Zheng Lingyin also understood the doubts about the matter. With a cold look on her face, she looked at Prime Minister Zheng and asked angrily.
Prime Minister Zheng was so excited that he knelt down and knelt on the ground.
He knew that he had made many mistakes one after another and had now completely lost his value in Zheng Lingyin's eyes.
He panicked and said quickly: "Miss, I will send someone to check it out right now!"
After saying this, he stood up in a panic and was about to leave.
"No need." But at this moment, Yi Shitai's voice suddenly came.
The man turned his head and looked at Zheng Lingyin, cupping his hands and saying: "After realizing that this matter was strange, I immediately sent someone to trace the whereabouts of the carriage. Just now, my subordinates have sent back the news that the troika is now staying in Tianxuan City.
To the east, in the center of Baihe Town!"
"The reason I came here this time is to ask Miss to give me manpower. I will round up Baihe Town and retrieve the Divine Sword for Miss at all costs!"
