"Xiao Nantian was killed." Banner was a black shadow, blending into Ye Chu's shadow.
"What!"
Ye Chu was startled, and his expression immediately darkened: "What happened? How could he be killed? Who did it?"
Five years ago, Xiao Nantian had a battle with him. Ye Chu was very aware of Xiao Nantian's strength, and his realm had reached the level of Demonic Immortal Perfection. It's just that the divine body and Yuanling were not as good as his own, but ordinary
Immortal cultivator, you can't kill him no matter what.
Unless the opponent kills him with one blow, otherwise, given his level, he must have a way to save his life, but now he is killed.
"It's not clear right now."
Banner said: "I just discovered it. He may have been dead for two or three years. He has not seen any guests in the past two or three years..."
"When I went over today, I found something was wrong. He was only an empty shell, and his soul had been sucked dry..."
Banner News Ye Chu said: "The way he died reminds me of a person..."
"who?"
Banner said: "Taotian..."
"You mean, the domain lord who attacked you in the Undead Domain, Tao Tian?" Ye Chu's expression also became a little solemn.
Because Banner said that Tao Tian obtained a small Yuan Gathering Spirit Array back then, and it happened that the Yuan Gathering Spirit Array was located underground in the Immortal Demon Cave at that time.
And there are some extremely powerful demon spirits in the Immortal Demon Cave, plus the Yuan Gathering Spirit Formation there, it is simply a godly place for cultivating immortals.
In addition, two thousand years have passed, and no one knows what stage Taotian has reached.
"You mean, is he here looking for you?" Ye Chu frowned and his face didn't look good.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Nantian had some friendship with him, but he died in such an inexplicable way.
"It's possible, but not necessarily."
Banner said to him: "If he was looking for me, he would have found me long ago..."
"I think he might be specifically trying to absorb the souls of some cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Demonic Immortals..."
"Perhaps Taotian is about to attack the Great Demonic Immortal Realm now, and ordinary immortal cultivators' Yuanling is useless to him."
Banner analyzed: "That's why this guy came to the immortal road to look for his prey..."
"So..."
Ye Chu's eyes narrowed: "It seems that Zitian and the others may be in danger. I just happened to go out to meet this Taotian..."
Ye Chu returned to the cave, packed up his things, and left immediately.
Soon Ye Chu arrived at the city lord's mansion in the outer city of No. 5. Everything in the mansion seemed normal now, and no one noticed that the city lord was dead.
Ye Chu brought Banner to the meeting hall. Xiao Nantian was still sitting in the main seat, and even his complexion did not change at all. He just closed his eyes and was still breathing while sitting there.
"how so?"
Ye Chu's eyes flashed with light, and he immediately checked with his heavenly eyes. Sure enough, Xiao Nantian's Yuan Ling was no longer there.
Now it looks normal on the surface, but in fact it is a ball of spiritual energy, controlled by man-made spiritual energy, allowing him to keep breathing and his body is not broken.
"He actually died."
Ye Chu was also very sad. Logically speaking, a strong man like Xiao Nantian should not die.
"And there are no traces of the front around here. There is not even a front laid out..."
What made Ye Chu even more frightened was that the opponent didn't even arrange a magic circle, so there was only one possibility. His Yuanling was absorbed away in an instant, killing him with one blow, leaving Xiao Nantian with no time to breathe.
Otherwise, with his cultivation level, he could escape even if he only had one breath of time.
"Obviously the other party is a veteran. This is definitely not the first time he has done something like this..."
Banner sent a message to Ye Chu and said: "Master, you still have to be careful. Even if the person behind this is not Tao Tian, I am afraid he will be an extremely scary guy..."
"kindness……"
Of course Ye Chu knew it, and he asked Banner again: "Where did Mei Shang and the others go? Aren't they here?"
"Five years ago, Mei Chang resigned from Xiao Nantian, saying that she was going to visit a sister..."
"She has never come back." Banner said, "Would you like to check where she is now?"
"Well, go check it out right away."
Ye Chu was naturally worried about their safety. No matter what, he felt sorry for both of them. If something happened to them, he would never forget it in his heart.
Banner immediately went to do this. Ye Chu walked around the city lord's palace again and found that no other people were killed, only Xiao Nantian was killed.
"This is definitely not a coincidence. It seems that there is a high probability that, as Banner said, the other party is hunting for the powerful. He looks down on ordinary people. Only those like Xiao Nantian are unlucky...
…”
"Maybe some other city lords from outer cities..."
Ye Chu thought about it again. Xiao Nantian had told him that among the city lords of the eight outer cities, there were actually a few people with similar cultivation levels to him.
He immediately went to the adjacent No. 4 Outer City. Xiao Nantian had said that he and the City Lord of No. 4 Outer City and the City Lord of No. 3 Outer City had been brothers for many years.
Soon after, Ye Chu appeared outside the city lord's mansion in Outer City No. 4.
The city lord's mansion here is extremely luxurious, much more luxurious than Xiao Nantian's.
At this time, inside and outside the City Lord's Mansion, the palaces were still brightly lit and shining, and there seemed to be nothing unusual among the people in the City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Chu immediately sneaked into the city lord's mansion and soon found the place where the city lord lived, which was a black fairy palace.
There is a large courtyard in front of the palace. In this courtyard, there are a group of warblers drinking and chatting.
"Did nothing happen?"
Ye Chu raised his eyebrows, scanned the spirits of several of the women, and learned that they were all family members of the city lord.
This City Lord No. 4 is much more chic than Xiao Nantian. Although he and Xiao Nantian are as close as brothers, this guy usually pays more attention to enjoyment.
At this age in this life, I still engage in romantic affairs every day. My little wife will accept one or two of them every few years to keep her relationship fresh.
What was not good was that, as far as these people knew, the city lord had been in seclusion for several years and had not come out of his secret room. Since the city lord often retreated like this, they didn't take it too seriously.
Ye Chu arrived immediately. The place where he was retreating was surrounded by circles of magic circles.
However, Ye Chu saw with his heavenly eyes that one of the magic circles seemed to be defective and showed signs of intrusion.
"Looks like we're in trouble."
Ye Chu immediately sneaked in, and after a while, he came to the secret room.
Sure enough, just like Xiao Nantian, a middle-aged man with a delicate face was sitting on a futon, with a normal complexion and a steady breath.
But this appearance is almost exactly the same as Xiao Nantian's death state.
"It seems that we are in trouble..."
Ye Chu scanned it with his heavenly eye and found that this guy's Yuanling had been sucked out just like Xiao Nantian.
Only this body is left, which is also maintained by a ball of spiritual energy.
"It seems that the other party intends to kill them, the city lords..."
Ye Chu went to Outer City No. 3 and several other outer cities and found that the lords of Outer City No. 3, 45, and Outer City No. 8 had all been killed.
The circumstances of death are all the same, and they are all caused by the same person.
As for the city lords of the four outer cities, No. 1, 2, and No. 67, they were safe and sound. It was not because their cultivation levels were weaker. There were even two city lords among them whose cultivation levels were similar to Xiao Nantian.
But nothing happened. It was obvious that the person behind this was selective in his actions. If this was the case, it would not have been someone like Tao Tian.
"If he is that kind of person, all the eight outer city lords will die..."
It was late at night, and Ye Chu arrived at the main city of the vast Immortal City. Divine lights flickered inside and outside the Immortal Lord's Mansion.
The Immortal Lord's Mansion is as prosperous as ever. There has been no major trouble in the past few years, and no one dares to attack the Immortal Lord's Mansion.
Ye Chu entered the Immortal Lord's Mansion and came to the Immortal Palace where Zitian lived. When he arrived here, a beautiful female immortal master happened to come over.
The female immortal master could not detect Ye Chu's aura, so Ye Chu followed her outside the immortal palace.
"Sir, have you not left seclusion yet?" The female fairy came here and asked Zitian again.
After a while, Zitian's voice came out: "What's the matter with you?"
