"I have long heard that the leader of the Chongshan Alliance is a rare young man."
"Now it seems that it is nothing more than that."
"I heard that you defeated Chunyang. My brother is traveling, but I still don't believe it. Do you have any news?"
The other party's tone was not very good, and he began to question Jiang Li, the alliance leader, on the spot.
If there weren't so many people nowadays, he would have to teach the other person what a clean mouth means.
However, he really had to be cautious in answering the other party's questions.
Mu Chunyang once came to Dazhong Mountain in an attempt to get involved in the secret realm of the medicine garden. Many people saw it and it could not be hidden.
Fortunately, only a few senior officials of the Chongshan League knew about the capture of Mu Chunyang and the two men, and even Elder Mu did not know about it.
The measures they took later should be considered clean. If they don't use sophisticated metaphysical calculations, it will not be easy to find them in a short time.
Jiang Li also acted very calmly at the moment.
"This matter happened several months ago. After the meeting that day, I have not seen Mu Feizhou again."
"But after that, we did find traces of a battle in an area of Dazhong Mountain. These things left there may be of some help to you."
Jiang Li thought for a moment, then took out a piece of wood and placed it on the table.
When the Mu family members saw the broken wood, their expressions immediately changed. They were just half-brothers, and they were immediately thrown out of the sky, and their attention was completely diverted.
After Jiang Li formed the elixir, the aura on his body was mixed with the chaotic power of crazy blood, making it extremely difficult to detect the details of the technique.
Therefore, this group of Mu family members simply saw him unhappy and did not come up to shout and kill him like they did in the past.
But the smell on this piece of wood was too eye-catching.
This is exactly a fragment of that huge Nine Nether Tree.
For all those who practice the Mu family's skills, this is the enemy of life and death that they always cherish, and they will never admit their mistakes.
Jiang Li briefly described the battle traces and the big hole later discovered in the Mazu River Basin.
The eyes of these Mu family members flickered, obviously they had thought of something.
His incompetent brother got the news about the "Tree of Sin" from somewhere.
Secretly behind their backs, he mobilized his mother's family to kill the Nine Nether Trees and snatch the heart of the trees.
From the description of this group of big mountain bumpkins, it seems that they still didn't capture it all at once and were escaped by the sinful tree.
No wonder I haven't been able to contact you during this period. It turns out that I'm afraid that they will fight for me!
This makes sense, damn it, he will never be allowed to succeed.
This made Mu Chunkong a little anxious. If Chunyang, this stupid brother, took the lead, then the position he had finally won would be stepped on by that idiot.
"Where is that battlefield! Tell me quickly!"
Mu Chunkong's expression was trying to remain calm, but Jiang Li could still see the tension and excitement in his eyes.
If a Nine Netherwood tree heart can be brought back to the family, it will represent not only power, but also respect and rights.
For them, the sons of the family head who are likely to inherit the position of the family head, this point is really too important.
But Jiang Li smiled and took back the fragment.
"Master Mu Chunkong, why don't we find someone first?"
This young master of the Mu family has obviously forgotten why they came here.
After being reminded by Jiang Li, I realized that I was losing my temper.
However, he also disliked Jiang Li even more because of this.
"Auntie, since you have left the Mu family back then, it is not easy for us to mobilize the family's strength."
"However, there are several vassals in the family who have a good relationship with me, and they can use my private orders to attract money."
"There happens to be a vassal family of our clan in the area where cousin Qiuhua disappeared. Maybe they can help."
With the help of Shoudao, the Mu family has won over a considerable number of vassals. It can be said that they have friends everywhere.
It's not like we are about to leave, now we can only develop good friends in secret.
A Chongshan Alliance warship and a Mujia flying boat left the port side by side, sailing slowly along the route of the material transport ship.
Search for clues at any point below.
Jiang Li looked at the map. The location where the Chongshan League supply ship was discovered was marked with a red circle.
This route starts from the Chongshan Alliance station, follows the aerial route opened by the Si Shen Shen Temple, and leads to the organ city on the front line.
More than half of the routes are within the control of human monks. There will be no blatant demonic cultivators intercepting the road, and there will be no powerful monsters blocking the road.
Jiang Li originally thought that the place where they had the accident was when they entered the second half of the mangrove wetland.
In that area that belongs to the strategic depth zone, it is not impossible to be attacked by sea monsters or even armored trolls.
But this supply ship was parked outside a mortal town.
The ignorant people in the city also took a lot of incense and paper money and worshiped the empty ship for several days before they were discovered.
However, there were no signs of fighting on the ship. The formation in Feizhou's main control room was also normal, and it did not look like it had been violently hijacked.
Jiang Li and others' flying boat landed, but they didn't find anything suspicious on the road.
The worst thing is that after searching for so many days, they couldn't find even a single clue.
The people in the same boat as Shenshan Qiuhua are all elders and disciples of the three major sects who know their roots well.
Although the strongest ones are only the Golden Core cultivators, they shouldn't disappear so suddenly.
"Alliance leader, that's where the supply ship was discovered."
At this time, a stubborn stone hermit stepped forward and pointed Jiang Li to an open space below.
He is the captain of the stubborn team who has led the team to search the local area several times in the past few days.
Not far away, there is indeed a not very big town.
This place is too small, there is no reliable power to protect it, it seems that there is not enough spiritual energy and there is no gathering of yin and demonic energy, it is just an ordinary town.
The terrain in the central part of the Eastern Territory is open and flat. Unlike the strange peaks and treacherous mountains, the human gathering places here are not cut by the harsh terrain, and the gathering places are more numerous and closer.
Just in the distance he had just flown, Jiang Li had already seen hundreds of towns of similar size below.
There is nothing special about this one here.
"Let's go down and take a look."
The flying boat landed slowly, and a group of people jumped off the deck and looked around at the calm surroundings. For a moment, they had no clue. Where should they start?
At this time, not far away, a group of more than a dozen monks came riding on spiritual horses, stepping through the smoke and dust in the sky.
"Wang Biao of the Wang family has met Master Chunkong! He has met several envoys."
This turned out to be a local vassal brought in by Mu Chunkong. They ruled another larger town not far away, so even if they were just riding a spirit horse, they could go very fast.
"Well, from now on you will obey their orders and cooperate fully."
When Mu Chunkong spoke, the Wang family monks did not have the slightest objection and directly agreed.
"Auntie, they are the local Wang family. There is no one hundreds of miles away who knows all the troubles and goings-on better than them."
"Jun Kong has something important to do, so I'll stay here soon. If you need anything else, you can contact me at any time."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Li again.
Jiang Li didn't expect too much from them, so it would be great to be able to help and not hold him back.
Although this group of Wang family members are generally low in strength, what they need most now is local snakes who can provide information and help.
He raised his hand and threw away a jade slip with the address of the Mazu River Basin engraved on it.
Mu Chunkong took the token, checked it, and then called to the elders and servants around him, hurriedly returned to his flying boat, took off and left.
He still understands the character of his younger brother Mu Chunyang. If he has obtained the tree heart, he will definitely return to the family immediately and show off his power.
If he hasn't come back now, it means he hasn't succeeded yet. This is the opportunity God gave him to Mu Chunkong!
"My lords, if there is anything we can do for you, please give us your orders."
After Mu Chunkong and others left, the Wang family monks turned to them with expressions that could be considered respectful.
Because there was one person present who was called aunt by Mu Chunkong, and everyone else had a cultivation level that was far beyond their masters.
Jiang Li first asked if there was any group of casual cultivators nearby who would ambush Feizhou.
However, the words of these few people are not much different from what Chongshanmen has previously detected.
It can be seen from the ease of life of mortals in this area that it should be relatively safe under the supervision of Si Shen Shen as long as they do not actively provoke certain people.
It's strange that under such safe conditions, why did they suddenly disappear? They didn't even come back with a summons.
Jiang Li had no idea for a moment, so he decisively held four parallel consciousnesses and held a small meeting in his mind.
It is better to brainstorm ideas than to think alone.
The four parallel consciousnesses are all guys with little social experience. They can practice fighting, but they can't reason and investigate.
At this moment Jiang Li remembered his new skill, one person has thousands of faces.
This skill simulates the state of a clone of a god, and can vividly imitate the psychology and habits of the former believers of the god.
This skill may be of some use.
Inspired by Mingming's feelings, countless thoughts suddenly appeared in his head, and the spiritual lights collided at high speed.
This man has many faces, allowing him to look at problems from many different angles.
Although it won't improve his IQ, it can make him think more comprehensively.
Wait, Jiang Li suddenly thought of something.
The focus is not on the surrounding demonic cultivators.
The point is, why did one of their material transport teams suddenly stop here?
For safety reasons, they should rush to the front line to deliver supplies without stopping.
What caused them to violate the rules and take the initiative to stop the ship?
The reason may lie in this city.
He turned to look at the town not far away, and walked straight in with his people.
Living in the world of immortal cultivation in the Eastern Region, they naturally had more opportunities to meet monks. They did not regard them as gods, but they also showed the highest degree of awe.
Wherever they passed, the streets were suddenly silent, and everyone took the initiative to get out of the way.
"Wang Biao, are there any monks living in seclusion in this city?"
"Back to my lord, a senior who lived in the foundation building period lived here more than ten years ago, but that senior has passed away now. As far as this junior knows, there are no other practitioners here."
Jiang Li listened to Wang Biao, talking about a senior to a foundation-building monk. With his current level, it felt somewhat inconsistent.
There are no monks in the city. His spiritual power mixed with the Guanyin Heart Sutra has thoroughly explored the town, and it is indeed what he said.
But he also observed a strange situation.
"Have there been any happy events in this town recently? Why are every house decorated with lights?"
"Your Excellency, I don't know. A few days ago, a team of Immortal Fate convoys came here. A lot of seedlings for cultivating immortals were selected here."
"These mortals are all very happy when they know that their children can become immortals in the future. Naturally, every family is decorated with lanterns and decorations."
So that's it...huh?
Jiang Li was still in a state where one person had thousands of faces, his thoughts diverged and collided from different angles, and he suddenly noticed something was wrong in the other party's words.
"Every house is decorated with lights?"
People's joys and anger are not the same. For a small number of people, there are good things happening in their homes. For others, there are many people who are probably jealous and will not hang up lights together to celebrate.
so..
"Why is the spiritual root birth rate in this town so high?"
More than 50% of the families in this town have red lanterns. Although with the recovery of spiritual energy, the probability of spiritual root qualifications is increasing year by year, no matter what, this number is too exaggerated.
Jiang Li thought of the Yinnan incident that year. Could it be that another Nine Nether Tree was acting as a monster?
No, I didn’t feel the same kind of aura.
"Well, that's it. In our area, some Xianyuan teams from small sects will arrive every few years."
"Their qualification requirements for immortal seedlings are lower than those of the Si Shen Temple. Every time they go to places, many children are always taken away. Depending on the talent, there will be certain financial compensation for their families."
"So they hope to encounter these convoys more than the Immortal Fate Test in Si Shen Shen Temple."
Jiang Li frowned, it shouldn't be, it's still wrong.
Even the worst inferior spiritual roots cannot reach such a large number.
Jiang Li multitasked and used his hearing to explore the city.
A large proportion of those families that do not hang up colorful lanterns even have children of appropriate age, which means that the spiritual root detection rate here is even higher than 50%.
This is definitely not normal, even if there are indeed some potions in the Eastern Immortal Cultivation World that can make some spiritual energy exist in the bodies of mortals.
But it only allows ordinary mortal warriors to have about the power of monks in the Qi training stage, and it is not spiritual root and cannot be practiced.
If so many ordinary children go back, no sect will really accept them as disciples. The gain outweighs the loss and it is meaningless.
Something is out of the ordinary, maybe this is where the problem lies.
"Wang Biao, do you know which town the Xianyuan convoy will go to next?"
"This... they didn't tell the younger generation, but it's probably just a few nearby towns. With so many children, they shouldn't be going too fast."
While they were talking, they saw in front of them a dirty woman wandering over from the end of the street.
She held an equally dirty straw doll in her arms and kept mumbling something.
With Jiang Li's hearing, he could barely hear clearly.
"It's gone, haha, it's gone. It's all gone. I saw it, it's all gone... Hahaha... it's gone..."
The woman's eyes were dull, she was crying and laughing, and she was walking past Jiang Li and others like crazy. She was obviously a lunatic.
"You damn crazy bitch, how dare you come here to stain the eyes of adults!"
Wang Biao next to him planned to take action to get this woman away, but was stopped by Jiang Li.
"It's a small thing, it doesn't matter."
"Aunt Mu, continue asking with the portrait. I also have a few ghosts here who are good at reading people's hearts."
"You stay in this town first and check the woman and other residents to see if you have seen Qiu Hua or the others during this time."
"I suspect that the disappearance of Qiu Hua and the others may be related to the Xianyuan convoy. I'm fast, so I'll go take a look around first."
He handed over a few inner ghosts. Elder Mu just wanted to say that he was also a swordsman and was not slow and wanted to go find them with Jiang Li.
But Jiang Li turned into a sword rainbow and disappeared from the sky in an instant.
The speed was so fast that she couldn't even see clearly.
With such speed and breath, he has broken through again?
