The fat traveling businessman did not leave Chishuifang City immediately.
After the trade fair ended, he returned to the inn.
The next day, a slightly fat old man with a flower beard came out of the inn, wandered around the stall area of Fangshi for half an hour, and bought two items of low value.
The old man with a flower beard is the fat man who was a traveling merchant before, and neither of them is his true appearance.
Even though he changed his identity, he could not escape the deliberate tracking of the fake Dan real person.
Two more days passed.
Chishuifang City is two to three hundred miles away.
A fat traveling merchant carrying a gray cage on his back rode a black-gray second-order bird and shuttled between the clouds.
Except for Lu Changan and the fake Danzhenren who hid his identity and cultivation, no one discovered when he slipped out of the city.
"Is this fellow Taoist a traveling businessman? I have an ancient artifact that was recently unearthed, and I'm looking for someone to appraise it and sell it."
Between the clouds, a burly man in black robe flew towards him.
"Sorry, I don't trade with people outside the market."
The fat traveling merchant looked wary, even though the black-robed man's cultivation was only at the early stage of foundation building.
"Your Excellency, you might as well take a look at which item..."
"No need!"
The fat traveling merchant controlled the birds and prepared to avoid this person.
"Your Excellency is so ignorant. Don't blame a certain family for forcing others to do something difficult."
The big man in black robe had a cold look on his face, his figure suddenly blurred, and there was a "swish" sound, leaving only an afterimage on the spot.
"Later stage of foundation building!"
The fat man's complexion changed drastically, and he suddenly felt a peak of foundation-building spiritual pressure.
call!
The black fist shadow, lingering in the violent wind, hit the scene in the blink of an eye.
Because of his vigilance, the traveling merchant fat man promptly used an extremely defensive silver shield and an arc-shaped silver light curtain to protect him in front of him.
Boom!
The silver shield shook violently, and the condensed silver light curtain instantly collapsed. Several cracks appeared on the surface of this top-notch defensive magic weapon, and the aura was extremely dim.
"No! You are not in the foundation building stage-"
The fat traveler was horrified, and retreated sharply. He took two consecutive shots of talismans on his body, both of which were top-level second-level talismans.
A defensive talisman and an escape talisman.
He gave up the best defensive weapon, let the birds pounce on the black-robed man, and ran away with the blessing of the escape talisman.
As a traveling businessman, traveling alone has a lot of tricks to save your life.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy."
At this time, the big man in black robe faintly emitted fluctuations of elixir power, and his physical strength was strong.
One punch knocked away the top-grade magical weapon, and another punch penetrated the abdomen of a second-level bird. It was a devastating blow.
Whoosh!
Like an arrow from the string, the big man in black robe quickly approached the fat traveling merchant blessed by the escape talisman.
The real-life mana fluctuations are too obvious.
Therefore, the big man in black robe tried his best to restrain his elixir power, only reaching 40 to 50% of its full power, and used it in conjunction with his physical strength.
Make sure to kill the target without causing too much noise.
"This true man, please spare my life! I am willing to hand over my belongings!"
The fat traveling merchant was desperate and begged for mercy.
The big man in black robe ignored him and controlled a top-grade magic weapon, a flying knife. The bright sword flashed past, cutting through the defensive shield of the fat traveler, and chopped the latter from the sky.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a ray of light flew not far away, emitting mana fluctuations in the later stages of foundation building.
"Tsk, tsk, killing people and grabbing treasures? I actually encountered it."
The visitor was a young man wearing a bamboo hat. He did not deliberately avoid the two men who were chasing and escaping. He looked quite confident.
"Fellow Taoist, please come to the rescue. Ah..."
Before the fat man's body fell to the ground, he was cut into two pieces by a knife that was fused with the power of the pill.
"No! This aura? False Dan Zhenren——"
When he got closer, the face of the young man in a bamboo hat changed drastically, and he turned around and ran away without thinking.
…
The big man in black robe took the belongings from the fat traveling merchant through the air, and looked at the young man wearing a bamboo hat in the late stage of foundation building who had escaped,
"unlucky!"
Xiang Jinglong's face darkened.
In order to avoid revealing his identity and cultivation level, he tried his best to restrain the real-person level mana fluctuations, otherwise he would have to change places after completing one vote, and would attract the attention of the sect.
Unexpectedly, a strong player at the peak of foundation building happened to be passing by nearby.
Judging from the opponent's mana fluctuations, he is definitely not a casual cultivator.
"Since I let you see it, then you will have a share in seeing me!"
Xiang Jinglong laughed ferociously, and simply stopped pretending. The elixir in his body was shaken, and he quickly killed the young man in the bamboo hat.
Apart from the difference in appearance, the young man in the bamboo hat has the same cultivation aura as Senior Brother Zhuo himself.
Although Xiang Jinglong hid his identity, he did not want to leave a third party behind. He planned to change places after completing this job and keep a low profile for a while.
"The fake elixir master kills people and seizes treasures! There are such shameless people in the immortal world of Liang Kingdom!"
The young man in the bamboo hat in front was using his magic power and shouting loudly.
"court death!"
Xiang Jinglong's face was gloomy. As soon as he reached the limit of the attack distance, he controlled the flying knife, a top-quality magical weapon, and slashed at the young man in the bamboo hat.
He is hiding his identity at this time. As long as he does not use magic weapons and is not witnessed by familiar monks, his identity will not be revealed easily.
"Senior, please show mercy, I'm just passing by——"
The young man in a bamboo hat hurriedly took out a black umbrella magic weapon and held up a thick black flame shield to protect his whole body.
This top-quality magic weapon is among the best of its kind, and it was also the magic weapon once used by the "Night Fisherman".
With a loud bang, the black flame barrier was breached, and the fierce wind of fire swept over more than ten feet.
The smoke and smoke from the fire have not dissipated yet.
A green shadow escaped from the light, like a meteor in the sky, flying into the distance at an astonishing speed.
"Quasi third level escape talisman!"
Xiang Jinglong's complexion changed slightly and his brows furrowed.
He himself is not good at speed, so it would probably take a lot of effort to chase down this person.
And it may cause another incident and really expose the identity.
"Fake real Dan, kill people and seize treasure——"
The green shadow's light was flying, transmitting sounds and making sounds.
In this way, it would be even harder for Xiang Jinglong to pursue him. After all, there are many people around Fangshi.
"Hahaha! Being able to escape from 'He' is a feat of yours!"
Xiang Jinglong roared loudly, which was carried several miles away, then changed direction and flew to a remote area.
…
"He?"
The young man in the bamboo hat had a strange look on his face, confirming that the fake elixir master had given up the pursuit.
He did not expect that Xiang Jinglong would be so cautious this time.
He never revealed his identity and never used his magic weapon.
Xiang Jinglong killed people to seize treasures, gathered his magic power, and used the best magic weapons.
If he hadn't appeared, even if there were monks passing by nearby, as long as they didn't get close, they would have been mistaken for the late stage of foundation building.
However, the cultivation level of Xiang Jinglong's fake elixir was eventually exposed.
"It doesn't matter whether you are Xiang Jinglong or He Yuanwu. As long as Senior Brother Zhuo has left traces nearby and had an encounter with False Dan Zhenren, the blame will be thrown away."
The young man in a bamboo hat transformed by Lu Changan through the "Hundred Fantasy Mask", holding the black umbrella magic weapon that the fisherman used to have in the night, flew rapidly through the sky.
Because it is near Fangshi, it is inevitable that other monks will find it on the way.
The quasi-third-level escape talisman he used was also the one that Senior Brother Zhuo obtained from Song Wenshu.
The aura of mana, the magic weapon used, and the means of escaping are all consistent with the "identity of the deceased."
…
Two hours later.
Several hundred miles away from Chishui Fang City, outside a python cave under a cliff.
Lu Changan stood under the shade of the tree and stared at the situation in the python cave.
Because Senior Brother Zhuo was restrained, there was no movement in the cave.
squeak!
The rock rat stood at his feet, watching curiously.
After a cup of tea.
Lu Changan was sure that Senior Brother Zhuo had completely expired.
It's not that Lu Changan doesn't want to give Senior Brother Zhuo a good time.
The main reason is that this person has a great background and is the great-grandson of the core elder of Lihuo Palace.
In Lu Changan's previous life, he knew a secret technique called death mark.
The direct descendants of some ancient forces may have had such secret techniques applied to them.
Once killed by someone, the killer's body will be contaminated with aura or marked.
In fact, the probability of this possibility happening to Senior Brother Zhuo is not high.
Lu Changan was cautious and did not want to do it himself.
"Nothing unusual..."
After waiting for a long time, Lu Changan's mind merged into the Nine-Seal Monument, and with his powerful spiritual consciousness, he checked the situation in the Python Cave.
call!
Before leaving, Lu Changan cast a fire spell, and the blazing fire engulfed the entire python cave, completely destroying the body and eliminating traces.
After doing this, he readjusted his identity and embarked on his return journey.
"Nearly half a year has passed since the battle with the 'Night Fisherman'. Normally, Senior Brother Zhuo has recovered from his injuries. Only fake elixirs and above can kill him."
"The time, place, and people have all been separated from Wu Qishan."
On the way back, Lu Changan briefly sorted it out and determined that there were no obvious omissions in this matter.
…
The hinterland of Liang Kingdom.
On top of the dark red hot magma, stands a magnificent and bright palace building.
This is the location of the Lihuo Palace, the first sect of the Liang Kingdom. It is located in an underground space covering hundreds of miles, and the fire spirit is extremely strong.
Lihuo Palace Mountain Gate, Law Enforcement Hall.
In a solemn and cold palace.
Dingka!
A middle-aged man in iron clothes with thick eyebrows and a Chinese character face who was in the early stage of forming the pill suddenly opened his palm, and a broken blood jade appeared on it.
"The northeast direction should be the area of the Mo family..."
The middle-aged man in iron clothes stared at the broken blood jade in his hand, closed his eyes for a few breaths, and came to a preliminary conclusion.
His face looked slightly gloomy.
Such a good chess piece suddenly died suddenly.
After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man in iron clothes waved his hand and typed out a transmission note, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Half a day later.
An elegant man in a blue shirt hurried over.
"Disciple Song Wenshu has met Hall Master Fang!"
The man in green shirt saluted respectfully.
The middle-aged man in iron clothes in front of him is the deputy head of the Lihuo Palace Law Enforcement Hall.
The head of the law enforcement hall is concurrently served by the law enforcement elders.
This deputy hall leader Fang is equivalent to the second most powerful person in the Yuanying-level law enforcement agency.
"Zhuo Yangping is dead."
The middle-aged man in iron clothes spoke calmly, but there was an inexplicable sense of depression in the palace.
"Senior Brother Zhuo is dead?"
Song Wenshu's expression was shocked and he looked in disbelief.
"Senior Brother Zhuo has the prototype of a magic weapon and a quasi-third-level escape talisman. Unless a real person takes action..."
To be precise, even if Master Fake Dan wants to kill Senior Brother Zhuo, he still has to go through some tricks.
"With Zhuo Yangping's strength, he will not die without leaving any trace."
The middle-aged man in iron clothes paused and ordered:
"Wen Shu, you investigate this matter privately and don't alert other people in the door."
