"My friends, Lord Mok of Lower Bar City, this incident has no ill intentions and is purely a misunderstanding. You are guests from afar, so please follow me into the city and allow me to carry out my duties." Lord Mok
He cupped his hands and smiled.
"Oh? I'm a guest from afar? Is this how you treat guests? I'm afraid I'm not inviting you into the city, but inviting you into the urn, right?" Zhao Qingliu had just gotten excited about fighting, but suddenly lost his opponent. He felt quite unhappy and immediately said sarcastically.
.
"Haha, friends, please forgive me. Something unexpected happened in Baal City, so we have closed the city for strict investigation. I hope you won't be surprised." City Lord Mok was not angry and said with a smile.
"City Lord Mok, since something has happened in the city, please go back to the city to take care of things. I won't bother you anymore." Du Feiyu, who had been silent with his arms folded, suddenly spoke calmly. Although Zhao Qingliu just said
Angry words, but not unreasonable. It is said that people's hearts are separated from each other. Since the two parties have already had unpleasantness before, so now the other party invites them to enter the city, who can tell what they are worried about? When going out, it is necessary to be on guard against others, inside the city
After all, it is someone else's territory. Without knowing the details of the other party, it is naturally not a wise behavior to rashly agree to the other party and put your group in unknown danger.
What's more, the purpose of their trip is to gain experience. Baal City is not a must-go.
"Oh? Haha. It seems that the little friend still has a grudge." City Lord Mok was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Du Feiyu did not reply to City Lord Mok's teasing, but simply folded his arms and waited for the other party's next words.
Sure enough, after saying this, Lord Mok continued.
"If you insist on leaving, I won't be able to force you to stay. However, our city of Baal has always kept its promises. I need to explain this matter to you, lest word spread and ruin the reputation of our city of Baal." Lord Mok said.
Smiling, he continued: "Recently, a strange murder case occurred in our city of Baal. After careful inspection, it was found that hundreds of the deceased were killed by fire-attribute cultivators using steel nails to drive into the Dingmen cave. In order to find the murderer, we have just set up
At the checkpoint, fire attribute cultivators are strictly investigated, and it happens that this girl is a fire attribute cultivator, so the city guards will try to bring this girl into the city for inspection, that's all."
Although these words were quite candid, as he spoke, City Lord Mok's eyes kept scanning the faces of several people, carefully observing the changes in their expressions. However, what made him a little disappointed was that,
When these people heard about the murder in the city, apart from being slightly surprised, they did not show any unusual expressions.
In fact, so far, City Lord Mok has never given up his doubts about Du Feiyu and others, but the strength shown by Zhao Gao and Zhao Qingliu just now made him a little more cautious. One Nine-Star Qi monk, one
As a nine-star blood cultivator, he, as a nine-star blood monk, had such strength as a two-star Qi Shura that he could not catch his eye at all. But if the age of the two of them was taken into account, he would have to look at them differently.
Normally, in the Blue Cloud Continent, if ordinary people want to reach the level of Qi Shura, it is difficult to achieve it without thirty to fifty years of hard work. Those who can reach the level of Qi Shura under the age of thirty are all talented.
Among the young people in front of him, although the remaining few did not take action, he could see that the strength of these people was not inferior to the two who had just taken action. In other words, the ones in front of him
Among the seven young people in their twenties, there should be at least six who are Qi Shura or above.
This kind of lineup is indeed something that cannot be ignored. Because if one person reaching the Qi Shura level at a weak age can still be attributed to talent, then it is quite surprising that six of his peers have reached the Qi Shura level at this age.
Maybe, behind these people, there will be the support of some huge forces, because only those powerful forces can cultivate young strong men in batches with the support of rare skills, fighting spirit, and even elixirs.
That's why City Lord Mok suddenly changed his mind and gave up the idea of using force to investigate, and instead conducted a test. His fundamental intention was not to offend some huge forces that still didn't know the details.
"Thank you City Lord Mok for your explanation, but I think we may not need to bother you anymore." Du Feiyu lowered his eyelids slightly and said calmly. He is no longer the inexperienced boy he was back then. Lord Mok's calm observation
It was all caught in his eyes, and he knew in his heart that the other party's so-called honesty was just a test with ulterior motives.
"Goodbye." He bowed his hands lightly, and Du Feiyu waved his hand, preparing to lead a few people away.
"You..." Seeing this, the guards immediately surrounded them, trying to block the way of Du Feiyu and the others.
"Huh!" Seeing the opponent's behavior, Du Feiyu's face turned cold, and the vindictive shield clinging to his body quietly began to surge.
"You're so outrageous, you still won't get out of the way." City Lord Mok was the first to notice Du Feiyu's change, and immediately gave a sharp shout, stopping the guards from intercepting him.
"I'm sorry, please excuse me." At this time, City Lord Mok had concluded that these people were not the murderers, and had lost interest in them, so he waved his hand to let them go.
"Report, City Lord, a murder... murder occurred in the ancient street in the north of the city. The circumstances of the incident are exactly the same as those of the past few days." Just as a few people were about to leave, a guard suddenly ran from the city and reported urgently.
"What? Ancient street?" The sudden report made City Lord Mok's heart skip a beat. He no longer cared about Du Feiyu and others, turned around and ran towards the north of the city. Behind him, the soldiers were also shouting.
They spread out and chased after him. As a result, the originally heavily guarded city gate suddenly became empty, with not even a guard left to watch the gate.
"These people are really interesting." Looking at the army that suddenly left, Shan Xiaoya pursed her lips and said with a smile.
"Murder? How about... let's go take a look too." After Du Feiyu was silent for a moment, he glanced at the empty door again and suddenly said. In fact, just now, when the Lord Mok announced the death of hundreds of people, he had already
This aroused his curiosity. If he hadn't been concerned about the safety of his own personnel, he would not have chosen to leave. At this moment, since the other party could no longer care about them, maybe he should go and see the excitement.
"Let's go, let's take a look at what's unusual about Baal City." As soon as he finished speaking, Du Feiyu took the lead and walked towards the city...
It was raining heavily at night, and the ancient streets in the north of the city were now dead silent. On the rain-covered streets, dark troops had gathered and were patrolling constantly.
"Report, captain, three bodies were found here, the cause of death is the same as before."
"Report, captain, five bodies were found here, and the cause of death is the same as before."
"Report..."
The sound of reports kept coming, causing a deep groove to appear on the captain's forehead. Judging from the current inspection, the circumstances of the two murders were similar, and they should have been committed by the same murderer. But again
Who could be so bold? Dare to commit two such large-scale murders in Baal City? You must know that since Lord Mok took control of Baal City, he has been intimidated by the strength of his nine-star blood monk for many years.
Few people dare to step into Baal City to commit crimes. Could it be that this time, they encountered some untouchable force?
"Driving" on the street, Lord Mok galloped on his horse. He felt more and more that what was happening now was gradually getting out of his control. The occurrence of these two murders seemed to be caused by an invisible black hand behind the scenes.
Controlling everything. But not only could he not find any clues about the murderer, he couldn't even guess the real reason why the murderer committed the crime.
Two murders occurred one after another. The first time was that hundreds of people died. This time, although the number of casualties is not yet clear, in a densely populated place like an ancient street, the number of casualties must not be much less.
.
As early as a few days ago, the Lord of Mok City was proud of himself, because his rule had brought long-term peaceful development to this land, but now two inexplicable murders have not only broken the tranquility of this land, but also broken it.
It made him proud for many years.
The horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone ground dripping with rainwater, and the sound of the hooves was just like the mood of Lord Mok, extremely restless...
"Xu" City Lord Moke finally arrived at the scene of the murder in the ancient street.
"Reporting to the city lord, during this count, a total of 238 people were found to have died unexpectedly. The cause of death was the same as last time. They were all killed by fire-attribute cultivators driving steel nails into the top door hole. The house of the deceased was in a mess, but
No valuables were lost." Seeing Lord Mok, the captain in charge of the area quickly reported.
"Two hundred and thirty-eight people? Is there any news about the murderer?" City Lord Mok asked anxiously with a big head.
"The body is still warm, and the murderer should not be far away. I have ordered people to conduct a strict investigation, but..."
"But what?" City Lord Mok said angrily.
"But...nothing was found." Speaking of the result, the captain was also a little dejected.
"Damn it!" City Lord Mok suddenly became furious. At this time, he became more and more aware of his powerlessness. The dignified Nine-Star Blood Monk actually allowed the murderer to commit murder twice under his nose, and he didn't even leave any clues.
This is a mockery, a naked mockery of him.
"Lord Mok, what should we do next?" the captain asked carefully.
"What should we do? What else can we do? Order a strict search. In addition, we have called several elders who are out there to return to the city to discuss matters. With such a big thing happening, it's time for those old immortal guys to come back and help." Shen Shen.
Without saying a word, Lord Mok turned his horse around and headed straight for the mansion...
For many years, no matter what happened, he had never summoned the elders who were practicing cultivation abroad. But this time, he finally decided to summon all those old guys back.
