The lord of Zhanhu City is named Zeng Luo, and he is a burly man with a strong back and a strong back. He has learned that the lords of nine cities have been killed and all the property in the city has been looted.
I also received a reminder from the Phantom Palace.
Not only was Zeng Luo not afraid, he was also looking forward to it, waiting for the other party to come knocking on his door.
In that case, he can counterattack the opponent and make great achievements, and maybe he can take this opportunity to return to the Hall of Phantom Sound.
Zeng Luo was just waiting for it, when suddenly a powerful aura came, and an old man with an immortal air suddenly appeared in the hall. Zeng Luo's eyes widened, and he hurriedly stood up and rushed forward to salute.
"Zeng Luo meets Elder Zhuo!"
The person who came was none other than Zhuo Zheyan, the elder of Huanyin Palace, a master of the ninth level of Yuanshen.
"Elder Zhuo, why are you here in person?"
Zhuo Zheyan said calmly: "Do you know that the city lords of nine cities were killed?"
Zeng Luo suddenly said with full fighting spirit: "I already know, my subordinates are waiting for the evil thief to come to the door and capture him with their own hands."
Zhuo Zheyan said: "Withdraw all your people and pretend you don't know anything."
Zeng Luo asked: "Why?"
Zhuo Zheyan said: "The nine city lords killed by the evil thief before were all with cultivation levels below the fourth level of Yuan Shen. You are at the third level of Yuan Shen. The next target is most likely to be you!"
"Perhaps the evil thief has already arrived in the city. You sent so many people out to keep an eye on him. Didn't you tell the evil thief that you already knew about it? What if he was scared away?"
"Withdrawing all of us is to make that evil thief think that we are defenseless, so that he will take action and I can capture him."
Zeng Luo suddenly realized: "What Elder Zhuo said makes sense, my subordinates will immediately order the withdrawal of outside informants."
"Report!"
Just then, someone rushed in.
"Report to the City Lord, the City Lord of Puyuan City is here to visit!"
Zeng Luo was stunned. Isn't Zou Pengxuan, the lord of Puyuan City, dead?
Zhuo Zheyan's eyes lit up at this time and he said happily: "Here he comes!"
Zeng Luo reacted and couldn't help but feel excited and said: "Invite him in!"
The disciple who reported the news quickly retreated.
"Elder Zhuo, that evil thief didn't notice the spy I planted and threw himself into the trap. God helps me! Elder Zhuo, please go to the back hall to rest for a while while your subordinates capture the evil thief and hand him over to you!"
Zeng Luo couldn't wait to learn about this fake Zou Pengxuan.
"Calm down, don't be anxious, first explore his background and whether there are any accomplices behind him." Zhuo Zheyan warned.
"Yes, Elder Zhuo, don't worry, I will find out clearly." Zeng Luo hurriedly clasped his fists.
Zhuo Zheyan nodded and disappeared as soon as he moved.
Zeng Luo took a few deep breaths, suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and pretended that nothing happened. He sat quietly and waited for the fake Zou Pengxuan to arrive.
After a while, a gentle man with a somewhat evil look on his eyebrows walked in under the leadership of his disciple.
The moment he saw the man, Zeng Luo couldn't help but be stunned.
He looked so much like Zou Pengxuan, he was almost carved from the same mold. Even his breath, expression, and actions were exactly the same. If he hadn't known that he was dead, Zeng Luo would have never been able to tell that he was fake.
"This person's ability to imitate is so good that he can fake it and look like the real thing. It's truly unparalleled!"
Zeng Luo felt a chill in his heart.
But on his face, he acted as if he didn't know anything, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Zou, why do you have time to come to Zhanhu City? The sun is coming out from the west!"
"Brother Zeng, please forgive me for disturbing you so rashly!" Zou Pengxuan said politely, cupping his hands and clasping his fists.
"Humph, you can imitate him, but you don't know that Zou Pengxuan and I don't get along, and it was revealed so quickly!" Zeng Luo sneered in his heart, and asked Zou Pengxuan to take a seat calmly on his face.
Zeng Luo asked suspiciously: "Brother Zou, why are you here today?"
Zou Pengxuan said: "I was chasing a nine-color deer, and I was going to catch it and give it to the young master as an engagement gift. When I chased him outside Zhanhu City, the nine-color deer suddenly disappeared, so I came to ask Brother Zeng if he had this nine-color deer.
Deer News.”
Zeng Luo almost laughed.
It would make sense if Zou Pengxuan and he were good friends, but who doesn't know that Zou Pengxuan and him are incompatible?
The engagement gift for the young master, such a secret and valuable thing, would Zou Pengxuan tell him?
Simply hilarious!
Zeng Luo couldn't understand how the nine previous city lords could be killed by such a fool.
If you don't even understand the basic situation before imitating others, what else is it than a fool?
Zeng Luo was immediately filled with disdain, but in order to find out about his accomplices, Zeng Luo could only be patient.
"I haven't heard of it." Zeng Luo wanted to see how this guy would make up lies to fool him, and then look for opportunities to kill him!
"Brother Zeng, I have an unkind request. I would like to borrow some men and horses from Brother Zeng and follow me outside the city to find the whereabouts of the nine-colored deer." Zou Pengxuan said seriously.
"For this reason, you want to kidnap me to go out with you, and then be tricked and killed by you? Well, I will help you, just in time to lure your accomplices out and kill them all!"
Zeng Luo felt more and more that the nine city lords who were killed simply deserved it.
Even such stupid people can kill them, and their lives are just a waste of food.
If it were him, even if he didn't know that Zou Pengxuan was dead.
Don't even try to deceive the fake Zou Pengxuan in front of you. He will kill him directly with the first sentence.
"You and I, brothers, why do you need to say please? I will mobilize the troops and lead them out of the city myself to search for the nine-colored deer with you!"
Zeng Luo stood up and called his confidants, and immediately ordered his troops to leave the city.
"Thank you, Brother Zeng." Zou Pengxuan said with a smile.
At that moment, two people with different agendas led their troops out of the city lord's mansion and headed straight out of the city.
Zhuo Zheyan followed quietly in the dark.
He had heard all the previous conversations between the two, and he also found that this fake Zou Pengxuan seemed a bit stupid.
It’s really inappropriate to make up lies like that to deceive a three-year-old child to deceive Zeng Luo!
But no matter what, he was certain that this fake Zou Pengxuan was one of the murderers, or perhaps the only murderer, who killed the nine city lords.
Therefore, even if the other party's lies were full of loopholes, he could only be patient and follow them to investigate.
It would be best to find out his accomplices at once.
Zou Pengxuan led Zeng Luo and the army from the City Lord's Mansion to the outside of the city. At Zou Pengxuan's suggestion, Zeng Luo dispersed all the troops from the City Lord's Mansion and conducted a blanket search.
He walked alone with Zou Pengxuan.
In a blink of an eye, he was far away from Zhan Hucheng. Zou Pengxuan suddenly stopped and looked at Zeng Luo with a strange expression.
Zeng Luo laughed and said, "What, you finally couldn't help but take action?"
Zou Pengxuan said disappointedly: "I thought Huanyin Palace would send some powerful people to deal with me, but I didn't expect it was just a person at the ninth level of Yuanshen."
