Chapter 127 The golden cicada escapes its shell

Chapter 127 The golden cicada escapes from its shell

The bright moonlight penetrated through the hole in the roof and fell on the messy living room.

There was silence for a while, except for the occasional rustle of falling gravel.

The man in black robe looked around with solemn eyes.

At this moment, a chi chi sound suddenly sounded in the silent living room.

Before the man in black robe could find the direction from which the sound came, he saw a large amount of water smoke clouds appearing in the living room, forming a fog barrier in the blink of an eye.

The whole living room suddenly fell into a foggy white!

Everything around him suddenly became looming, and as the light shifted, it became elusive.

"Mist Hidden Talisman!"

The man in black robe raised his eyebrows.

Just as he was about to cast a spell to dispel the fog, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past him from the corner of his eye. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the entrance, broke through the door with a bang, and ran out.

"Want to run!"

The man in black robe snorted heavily, and in a flash, he arrived on the street outside.

Considering that it might be a deceit trick used by Lin Shen, he also took out an illusion-breaking talisman and shook his finger. The talisman spontaneously ignited without wind and turned into a ball of golden light covering his pupils.

After a closer look, the man in black robe nodded slightly, there was no doubt that he was the real person.

Seeing this, he stopped delaying and ran after the figure in the distance.

The night is long and the dream is long, so we must catch this kid as soon as possible to avoid running into the members of the Zhiwu Hall who come to check on him later.

After a while, the figure of the man in black robe disappeared into the night.

The villa that had been turned into ruins suddenly returned to silence.

After a while, there was a sudden crash, piles of rubble in the corner of the ruins scattered, and a figure slowly stood up.

"It was so dangerous, I almost died!"

After patting the smoke and dust on his body, Lin Shen let out a long sigh of relief.

The power of the black-robed man's magic weapon was indeed very powerful. If he hadn't used the cover of smoke and dust to summon a clone to share part of the attack at the moment he was hit, he would have been seriously injured.

With the ninth-level cultivation of Mingqiao, coupled with the powerful magic weapon that is higher than the magic weapon, this level of strength is no longer something Lin Shen can compete with.

If you are not careful, let alone escape, your life will be in danger!

So taking the opportunity of landing in the living room on the first floor, Lin Shen decisively used the Hide Talisman to let the clone pretend to be himself and escape. He quickly put a breath talisman and an escape talisman on his body to eliminate the aura and hide under the ruins.

.

Fortunately, luck was on Lin Shen's side.

Perhaps the noise caused by Mo Fengyan's attack was too great, which affected the black-robed man's judgment. Coupled with the effect of the fog concealment talisman blocking his perception, he did not notice Lin Shen's small movements.

In order to ensure that the clone would not be seen through, Lin Shen even stuffed a storage bag and a Six Yang Talisman Sword into the clone.

"The two things add up to more than 20 small achievements, but now it's a huge loss." Lin Shen sighed.

This was the first time that he didn't get any loot from the enemy, but instead gave it away.

Sighing again, Lin Shen calmed down and chased the man in black robe in the direction he left.

Now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief.

If the clone is too far away from the main body, it will soon be unable to sustain itself and disappear. At that time, the man in black robe will immediately realize that something is wrong and return to chase him again.

Lin Shen could not guarantee that he, who was injured and was on the verge of running out of energy, could successfully escape back to the Taoist temple before being caught by the man in black robe.

Besides, even if you escape back to the Taoist Temple, it doesn't mean you're guaranteed to be safe!

Lin Shen's eyes were slightly cold as he recalled the five-color air mass that the man in black robe had just displayed.

The characteristics of that technique were very similar to the description of the ‘Five Qi Zhen Yuan’ he saw on the merit exchange list!

And 'Five Qi Zhenyuan' is a unique technique of Jiuyang Sect!

In other words, the man in black robe is most likely from Jiuyang Sect or even Jiuyang Taoist Academy!

Thinking of this, Lin Shen suddenly shuddered.

The people from Wild Wolf are lurking in Jiuyang Taoist Temple, and they are also plotting against him. No matter how you think about it, it makes your heart tremble!

Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against thieves?

If this person is not found out, he may not be able to sleep well in the coming days!

Therefore, it is best to use a clone to stabilize the man in black robes until dawn.

Even if you give the man in black robe ten courages, he would not dare to commit murder in broad daylight!

Then take this opportunity to find the hiding place of the man in black robe. After that, haha

A faint light flashed in Lin Shen's eyes, and he quickened his pace and ran forward.

While running quickly, he took out the Qi-Reviving Pill and the Yuan-Yuan Pill from the storage ring and took them, mobilizing his true energy to quickly digest the medicine.

At this time, the distance between him and the clone has exceeded two thousand meters, and the true energy in his body is constantly being consumed.

After a few minutes, Lin Shen's expression changed slightly.

"Have you been caught?"

Without stopping, Lin Shen took this opportunity to quickly close the distance between him and his clone.

With the Silence Talisman and the Escape Talisman around, as long as you don't get close to the man in black robe within a radius of 500 meters and appear in an open field of vision, there is no risk of being noticed by the other party.

After all, Lingying is not like spiritual consciousness, which has extremely strong penetrating power and can also scan and sense Qi machines.

Sure enough, after catching the clone, the man in black robe immediately turned around and ran towards the south area.

"This guy's hideout is in the South District?"

Lin Shen was surprised.

The Southern District is known as the area where rich people gather, and many practitioners even live there.

But then I thought about it, wasn't the Wild Wolf stronghold discovered by Zhi Wu Tang also in the Southern District?

"Do the people of Wild Wolf believe that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

Lin Shen cursed, but didn't think much about it and hurriedly hurried on.

The speed of the man in black robe is much faster than the body, and he will be thrown away if he relaxes even a little.

Hurrying along slowly and hurriedly, Lin Shen tried his best to control the distance between himself and the clone within 1,500 meters to reduce consumption, and at the same time, he ate the pills without any distress.

Even so, the true energy in the body is still decreasing at a slow but determined rate.

More than ten minutes later, just when Lin Shen's true energy was about to run out, the clone finally stopped moving.

Seeing this, Lin Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly speeded up, finally closing the distance to within a kilometer of consumption-free radius before his true energy was exhausted.

After stuffing another handful of pills and regaining some vitality, Lin Shen took advantage of the darkness and cautiously approached the location where the clone stopped.

Not long after, a villa came into view.

"Is this the guy's hiding place?"

In the shadow of a tree a hundred meters away, Lin Shen squinted at the courtyard in the distance.

It looked like a completely ordinary villa, with nothing out of the ordinary.

Looking at other buildings around it, this area is clearly a high-end residential area.

Moreover, this low-key yet elegant architectural style is more like the type that practitioners like.

Most of the people living here should be practitioners.

"It seems like this is just the guy's residence, not the wild wolf's stronghold."

Forget about other wealthy residential areas in the Southern District. If Wild Wolf can establish a stronghold in a place full of practitioners, what's the point of Zhiwu Hall?

"I just don't know who lives here?"

Lin Shen felt that he was about to come into contact with the true identity of the man in black robe.

Unfortunately, the clone seemed to have been knocked unconscious by the man in black robes. He was unable to share what the clone saw and heard, and could only sense its location.

Standing in the shadow, Lin Shen's eyes flickered uncertainly.

After a while, he quickly made a calculation.

Central area, Zhiwutang headquarters.

In the top-floor conference room of the tallest building in the center.

All the general flags and flag officers of the Zhiwu Hall branches in the four major cities, as well as the four chief and deputy hall masters of the headquarters, all gathered together at this time.

But the strange thing is that there was dead silence in the conference room, no one spoke.

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, glancing secretly at the figure sitting at the top of the table from time to time.

The one who was secretly noticed by many senior officials of the martial arts hall was a beautiful girl.

The girl looks to be about twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old, with gentle and charming features. She is also wearing a long flowing white dress, a snow robe with a high bun, a narrow waist and long legs. Anyone who looks at her will secretly admire her as a peerless beauty.

However, when the senior officials of the martial arts hall looked at her, there was no trace of surprise or admiration in their eyes, but only fear and respect.

After a long silence, the girl looked around, glanced at everyone, and spoke slowly.

"It has been three months since I issued the order to hunt down the Wild Wolf."

"You only caught a group of minions, but not a single key member. Can anyone give me an explanation?"

There was a moment of silence.

No one answered.

Many people who knew the hall master's character very well tensed up their bodies, preparing to face the coming storm.

Sure enough, the next second there was a muffled sound in my ears.

The girl slammed the table, her eyebrows stood up, and she became furious.

"What do you do for a living? Do you just go to the guild hall and hug witches? Are you afraid that you won't be able to pay the public food when you go home, will be castrated by your wife, and if you can't complete the task, believe it or not, I will punish you all to go to the mining area to mine?"

After those words, the girl's previous gentle temperament had been completely destroyed.

However, there was silence in the conference room. Everyone had always known the hall master's fiery temperament and had long been used to it. No one dared to speak, but just lowered their heads.

When the girl saw this, she laughed angrily: "Thankfully you guys are the ones in charge, why didn't anyone come out to assure me that it's okay?"

The deputy hall masters nearby shook their heads secretly when they heard how rude the girl said them. They thought that this hall master obviously has a gentle and charming appearance, and even his name Xia Mengran is very beautiful, but he has a fiery temperament.

She speaks like a scolding shrew.

After scolding everyone bloody, Xia Mengran finally took a breath, turned to look at a deputy hall master, and asked coldly:

"Have you investigated the matter in Silver Scale City?"

The deputy hall master hurriedly sat up and replied: "It has been found out that the owner of the manor is a pharmacist named Jing Hai, who is secretly a member of the Desolate Wolf. We have inspected Jing Hai's body and found that his cultivation level was clear during his lifetime.

The ninth level of Qiao, if nothing else happens, he should be one of the backbones of the Wild Wolf!"

After hearing this, Xia Mengran's cold expression softened slightly, nodded, and asked again:

"Who killed Jing Hai?"

The deputy hall master immediately looked hesitant. It wasn't until Xia Mengran's eyes pierced him like a sword that he said bravely:

"When the people from Silver Scale City arrived there, the owner, stewards and guards of the manor were all dead. The surviving servants were all ordinary people who knew nothing about the secrets of the manor. They only knew who invaded the manor that night.

It’s a group of cat monsters.”

"Cat demon?" Xia Mengran frowned slightly, "You mean Jing Hai was killed by the cat demon. What's the reason?"

"We found a lot of alchemy equipment and materials in the manor. Based on these things, we guess that Jinghai is probably using the cat demon as a material to research and refine a new type of blood spirit pill!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the conference room, and many people showed signs of astonishment.

Use demon clan to refine blood spirit elixir?

Simply unheard of!

Are the people in Delanglang crazy? Forget about using cultivators to make pills, now they are even targeting the demon clan!

Xia Mengran ignored the surprise of others and frowned to herself: "So, the cat demons killed Jing Hai in order to take revenge on him?"

"But Jinghai is at the ninth level of the Mingqiao Realm. No matter how weak his combat power is, he cannot be killed by a group of Feathered Realm cat demons. Could it be that there are Tongxuan Realm cat demons lurking in Silver Scale City?"

After thinking for a moment to no avail, Xia Mengran waved her hands impatiently.

"Forget it, just kill the people of Delanglang. As long as the Tongxuan realm cat demon doesn't come out to cause trouble, I don't want to care about her. Lao Cheng, you continue to investigate the matter in Silver Scale City, and you must follow the clues.

, dig out the other backbones of the Wild Wolf!"

The deputy hall master secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it openly, so he forced himself to agree.

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Xia Mengran frowned and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

The door opened, and a young member of the Zhiwu Hall walked in and said loudly: "Report to the Hall Master, there is a battle between practitioners in the East District. Judging from the Qi machine, the two sides fighting should be in the Mingqiao realm!"

Xia Mengran waved his hand angrily: "Then arrest them all. Do you still want me to teach you this little thing?"

The member of the Zhiwu Hall swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Not long after that battle, someone discovered a group of the most fierce Shengs in the Southern District!"

"The strongest wins?" The deputy hall leader named Lao Cheng frowned and looked at the general banner in charge of the Southern District next to him, "Lao Liu, I remember when I led the Wu Tang to clear out the wild wolf stronghold in the Southern District, did it appear?

The strongest in large numbers wins?”

The general banner nodded without thinking: "Yes, the Wild Wolf tricked us that time. Not only did our branch suffer heavy losses, but also many of the disciples of the Third Avenue Academy who were temporarily recruited died. I was also arrested for this matter.

The chief of the Third Avenue Courtyard reprimanded him severely!"

When this matter was mentioned, the commander-in-chief looked bitter and resentful.

"In the Mingqiao realm, the most fierce winner is the wild wolf, right?" Deputy Hall Master Cheng frowned and guessed.

Xia Mengran waved his hand and gave the order without hesitation.

"I don't care, go to the scene and arrest the person first and then interrogate him slowly! Lao Cheng, forget it, I will take action myself!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Deputy Hall Master Cheng quickly stopped him and said: "You must not do it, Hall Master Xia, your twenty-eighth Divine Seal Spiritual Energy has been stored for more than two months, and you still have three days to go before it can be completed. You must not take action at this time.

Otherwise all the hard work before will be in vain!”

Xia Mengran was so stunned that she was about to have a fit, but she understood that Deputy Hall Master Cheng was right, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure the anger, and smashed the table angrily.

"Grandma, if I had known that this Divine Seal was so troublesome, I shouldn't have chosen this destructive technique in the first place!"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and remained silent, pretending not to have heard these words.

After Xia Mengran got angry, he looked up and saw that everyone was still stunned here. He immediately glared and cursed: "Why are you still standing there? If people run away, don't come back and go to the mining area outside the city to mine!"

"

Then everyone roared and dispersed.

After a while.

A group of heavily armed practitioners rushed out from the headquarters of the Zhiwu Hall and rushed to the South District under the cover of night.
