After carefully inspecting the scene, Su Ming took a photo of the light body magic talisman on himself and rushed towards the place agreed upon with Mr. Gong.
From the conversation between Manager Wu and others, he knew that Mr. Gong had not died, but had escaped.
In fact, Su Ming even considered killing someone to silence him.
But thinking of Elder Gong's care for him during this period, Su Ming still shook his head.
"After all, I am not a person with no bottom line."
After laughing at himself, Su Ming's figure completely disappeared deep into the jungle.
The next day.
The morning sun rises.
In a forest less than ten miles outside Qingshui Fang City.
A ghostly figure stopped, it was Su Ming.
He had searched the agreed place for several miles, but could not find Gong Lao.
It wasn't until early in the morning that he saw a monk with a very different appearance and a cultivation level of only the sixth level of Qi training passing by.
Su Ming only glanced at him and then turned his head.
Not respectful.
But just as he turned his head, Gong Lao's voice sounded in his mind.
"Xiao Su."
"Um?"
Su Ming turned his head suddenly and looked at the strange monk in front of him with a surprised expression.
Just now, it was his spiritual consciousness that transmitted the voice. The key is, his voice was exactly the same as Gong Lao!
Su Ming resisted the urge to use his spiritual consciousness to probe the other person, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Gong?"
"it's me."
The strange monk in front of him nodded.
The next moment, I saw his body shape changing, and his cultivation aura also continued to grow.
There are six levels of Qi training, seven levels of Qi training, and eight levels of Qi training.
Gong Lao's cultivation level increased until he reached the eighth level of Qi training before stopping, and his figure and appearance returned to their original appearance.
"Mr. Gong, what are you doing?"
Su Ming was shocked.
"It's just a little trick,"
Gong Lao waved his hand, "Old man has a golden mark on his body. He has no choice but to hide for one night. He will not dare to show his face until the golden mark dissipates. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"where."
Su Ming quickly cupped his hands.
Seeing that Mr. Gong was safe and sound, Su Ming couldn't help but said: "Mr. Gong, what happened last night?"
"What happened last night?"
Mr. Gong looked at Su Ming doubtfully.
Su Ming was shocked and said: "Junior is saying that we searched all night last night and didn't even see any traces of humans or monsters. Wouldn't it be bad if we just go back like this?"
Hearing this, Mr. Gong took a deep look at him and said with a smile: "You are worrying too much. Our military manager may have prepared the corpse of the monster long ago."
Hearing this, Su Ming nodded and said nothing more.
There was silence all the way.
It was not until he was approaching Qingshui Fang City that Su Ming suddenly said: "Gong Lao, I have a heartfelt invitation from this junior."
Elder Gong seemed to have guessed what Su Ming was thinking, and said with a smile: "You want to learn my shape-changing technique?"
"It turns out it's called Shapeshifting."
Su Ming nodded, "I want to learn, but I wonder how many spiritual stones are needed to learn this technique?"
"This technique was accidentally acquired by me when I was traveling outside Lizhou in my early years. It didn't cost any spiritual stones. If you really want to learn it, just come to my shop tomorrow and I will teach you."
Gong Lao downplayed it and seemed not to take this technique seriously.
But Su Ming knew how much convenience this shape-changing technique could bring to him.
With it, maybe he can make the most of the golden finger of the decomposition weapon.
Unlike now, only eight magic weapons can be decomposed in a month.
"Thank you, Mr. Gong."
Su Ming sincerely thanked Mr. Gong.
Mr. Gong nodded.
The speed of both of them was not slow. The distance was only ten miles, and they arrived quickly.
It was true as Mr. Gong said, outside Qingshuifang City, Manager Wu was standing there early.
Around him, a group of casual cultivators gathered around Guanshi Wu.
However, the most eye-catching thing was the corpse of the monster lying at Guanshi Wu's feet.
"Everyone, this demon fox near Qingshui Fang City was finally killed by my patrol team. From now on, everyone can buy goods outside Qingshui Fang City with peace of mind!"
"Great, this beast has finally been killed!"
"If the patrol team takes action in person, can there be any mistakes?"
"Now when we leave the city, we won't be intruded by monsters anymore."
"."
Wu Guanshi's sonorous and powerful words aroused everyone's applause.
It's just that Manager Wu felt a little guilty at the moment, why Zhou Hai didn't come back at the agreed time.
Originally, according to the script set by the two of them, this monster should be killed by a clerk in Zhou Zhouhai Store, and then he would reward the clerk with five hundred spirit stones.
In this way, the news of the patrol team leading the crowd to kill the monsters will spread faster in Xifang District.
Lingmipu in Zhouzhouhai will be more stable.
But now that Zhou Hai has not come back, Wu Guanshi, who is worried about something unexpected happening, naturally does not want to pay for the five hundred spirit stones out of his own pocket.
Let's just say that this monster was killed by the patrol team, so that we can save a fortune in spiritual stones.
Although in terms of effect, it is not as exciting as ordinary casual cultivators getting huge rewards after killing monsters.
But in general, he still fulfilled his agreement with Zhou Hai.
Zhou Hai paid tribute to him with one thousand spiritual stones, and Wu Guanshi accepted it with peace of mind.
Everyone clapped and praised, some were happy, some were upset that they didn't get the spirit stone reward, but most of them were still praising the patrol team led by Manager Wu.
Only no one mentioned the murderer who killed the waiter in the store on Thursday.
It was as if everyone had forgotten about this incident.
Seeing this, Su Ming thought to himself: "They are all human beings, not a single fool."
The eradication of monsters has come to an end.
Everyone returned to Xifang District, Qingshuifang City happily.
Soon, the news spread in Xifang District that the monsters that injured people and were killed by the patrol team near Qingshuifang City.
But only Su Ming knew that this matter was far from over.
First of all, if Zhouhai is dead, Sihailingmipu will definitely not be able to survive.
The remaining Lingmi shops will also be closed one after another with the death of Zhou Hai.
This time the demon beasts were wiped out with such great force that the Zhang family killed Zhou Hai. If they continue to persist in the remaining Lingmipu, it is difficult to guarantee that the Zhang family will not eliminate them one by one.
Despite the endorsement of the patrol team, none of them dared to gamble with their own lives.
In addition to Zhou Hai's death, Zhang Jingyu's death should have caused even greater shock.
But the strange thing is that it lasted for several days.
Su Ming didn't hear any news from the Zhang family, as if Zhang Jingyu's death had been completely covered up by the Zhang family in Shangyang County.
Seeing this scene, Su Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that the Zhang family would definitely investigate secretly, if there was no evidence, the Zhang family would not be so crazy as to kill all the more than 300 casual cultivators, right?
If the Zhang family really wants to do this, Master Mo Yun will definitely take action.
By then, the outcome of the Zhang family will be difficult to say.
In a dense forest about a hundred miles outside Qingshuifang City.
An old man with silver hair and skin as delicate as a baby stood in front of a charred empty space.
"Sixth Elder, this is it!"
A Zhang family servant who was proficient in investigation bowed his hand to the old man and said, "After investigation by my subordinates, this should be the place where the third son died."
After a pause, he added: "In addition, about 12 miles in the opposite direction, there is a larger trace of burned corpses. That should be the place where Manager Wu and others died."
Hearing this, the sixth elder of the Zhang family raised his head: "Kill Jing Yu first, and then catch up with Lao Wu and the others who are twelve miles away. This person's strength is definitely not an ordinary late-stage Qi training monk."
The monk in charge of the survey nodded: "Third Young Master and the others should have known that they were no match for this person, so they ran away separately."
"Among the more than 300 casual cultivators who are destroying the monsters this time, is there still such a master in the Qi training stage hidden?"
The Sixth Elder frowned deeply, then relaxed, "Go and find out all the casual cultivators who went out to clear out the monsters in Qingshuifang City this time. I want to know all the information about each of them."
