In Linjun City, in an alley near the southern city gate, there is a medicine shop called "Baishantang".
This drug store has existed in Linjun City for more than 20 years since its opening.
The doctors and clerks inside are quite kind. The medicinal materials they sell are not only low-priced, but also help with voluntary medical visits whenever the poor people in this alley encounter headaches and fever. They have won a lot of good reputations in this area.
Fame.
Inside the drug store, people were coming and going, and it was very busy.
At this time, two mysterious people suddenly walked in.
When he saw someone coming in, the middle-aged doctor who was helping diagnose patients in the lobby was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Two, what's important?"
The fat man responded: "See a doctor!"
"What kind of disease are you looking for?" asked the middle-aged doctor.
The obese man said calmly: "I'm not acclimatized!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression changed, and he quickly got up, grabbed a few sets of medicinal materials for the patient, and then ordered the two waiters to close the door, appearing mysterious.
Obviously these four words "acclimate" should be some kind of communication code.
After the guests left, the middle-aged man took the two mysterious people into a relatively remote backyard and said respectfully: "Meet the two venerables!"
"We are all one family, no need to be polite!" The tall, strong man who had remained silent took off his bamboo hat and sat directly on the chair next to him.
The middle-aged man looked in awe and said: "Your Majesty, it has been a long journey, do you need to take a rest first? When you have regained your energy, I will explain the situation to you two!"
"Haha, it's okay. We didn't spend much time here. How's the information we asked you to collect?" The chubby man also took off the bamboo hat on his head, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.
It was only after the two mysterious men took off their bamboo hats that they could see their faces clearly.
The tall, strong man had a horse face, unusually long arms, a ferocious scar on his left eye, a thick beard on his chin, and a silver black iron rod at his waist. He looked calm.
A proud look.
This person's name is Qiu Shiqing, and he is one of the four famous sages of the Shenhuo Sect. His strength and status are second only to the sect leader Luo Shitian. His appearance is rough, his eyes are faintly flashing with blue thunder and lightning, and his whole body has a strong aura that disappears and appears.
He couldn't help but tremble, as if standing in front of the middle-aged man was not a person, but a prehistoric beast.
The other chubby man was short, with a smooth head and fat ears, as if he had a pair of protruding ears, but his eyes were so small that they almost narrowed into a slit when he smiled.
But the golden light that occasionally flashed in his eyes revealed the terrifying strength contained in his body. Especially his big hands like cattail fans, which were astonishingly big.
A large string of purple beads hangs around his neck, and he looks harmless when he smiles. However, anyone familiar with his temperament knows how crazy this fat man named Guan Yunpeng is when he fights with others.
"To report to Venerable Lei and Venerable Huo, my subordinates have sent people to inquire. Lu Chen, the key criminal the sect wants to arrest, is hiding in the Pearl Villa in the north of the city!" said the middle-aged man.
Judging from the respectful attitude of this middle-aged man, it is obvious that his identity is not as simple as it appears.
In fact, in Linjun City, many people know that there is a medicine shop like Baishantang in the south of the city. Whether it is the doctor there or the medicine clerk and apprentice, he has always been kind to the neighbors and made good friends.
Over the past twenty years, the reputation of Baishantang has gradually spread.
But few people know that this Baishantang is actually selling dog meat. On the surface, it is a medicine shop that is willing to give charity, but secretly it is a secret station of Shenhuo Pope hidden in Linjun City.
Not only that, many top sects have their secret bases in the areas controlled by them, but their hiding methods are strange and extremely secretive, and they have never been known to outsiders.
Ever since Lu Chen made such a big fuss in Youzhou, the Shenhuo Sect has been sending people everywhere to search for Lu Chen's whereabouts. In less than a day, their stations hidden in various places in Jiuzhou all received calls to arrest Lu Chen at the same time.
news.
After wandering around, unexpectedly, traces of Lu Chen were discovered in the Phoenix Tower. A middle-aged man named Ding Kui was the person in charge of the secret station here.
He has been lurking here for more than 20 years and has been operating carefully. He lives a very low-key life. He usually looks approachable and is well supported by the neighbors. Secretly, he has placed spies everywhere to collect valuable intelligence.
For every piece of information collected, different rewards will be given within the sect based on the value of the information.
But he never thought that the informant at the Phoenix Tower would discover such big news this time. When he found out, he was overjoyed and immediately sent a letter to the sect, carefully explaining that Lu Chen was lurking in the Phoenix Tower.
Lou’s whereabouts.
Not long after the intelligence was sent out, it immediately received great attention from the Shenhuo Pope. In just three days, two prominent sages were sent over to carry out the arrest and suppression.
Ding Kui has done a great job this time. It is estimated that after the mission is completed, he will definitely receive a large and generous bounty from the sect, and he can retire and return to his hometown to live in his old age.
No longer do I have to hide my identity all day long and live a life of fear like now.
"Reporting to Lord Huo, the information you need has been sorted out by my subordinates. I will show it to you now!" Ding Kui said with awe.
Standing in front of him were two of the four great sages of the Divine Fire Sect, the Wind, Fire, Thunder and Rain, all of whom were super strong men who had reached the peak of the Innate Golden Core.
In the Shenhuo Pope, these two are boss-level figures who can make earthquakes happen just by stamping their feet.
With Ding Kui's status at the bottom of the Pope, he has rarely seen big shots like them in ten years. This face-to-face contact like today is the first time in history. He is in a very excited mood now.
"Just tell us directly where Lu Chen found it and where he lives now!"
"It's a bunch of words, it gives me a headache! Just say it straight to the point, don't bother to waste time." Guan Yunpeng waved his hands and said, he couldn't stand the rules of these men of letters and found it troublesome.
Ding Kui sneered: "Well, I'll keep the story short!"
"Six days ago, the spies stationed at Pearl Villa saw someone flying from the north on a divine eagle with two people on their backs!"
"One of them is carrying a black heavy sword, he has a stern appearance, his face is unshaven, and his back looks like the wanted Lu Chen in the album!"
"The other one is more handsome. He is dressed in a black billowing dragon robe and has a slender figure. The maids and attendants in the villa all call him His Highness, and his face looks particularly pale."
"But it seems that the two of them have fought with others before, and they have varying degrees of injuries on their bodies. When they jumped off the back of the eagle, one of them fainted!"
When Qiu Shiqing heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "The young man wearing the black rolling dragon robe should be Zhao Zhenxian. Apart from her, no one in the Phoenix Tower can control the snow-crowned golden eagle!"
"Why did Zhao Zhenxian get involved with this Lu Chen? It's weird!" Guan Yunpeng said, rubbing his thick chin.
The middle-aged man Ding Kui paused here, seeing that the two venerables were silent, so he continued to describe.
"The other man carrying a black epee should be Lu Chen, the wanted criminal of the sect. He rushed into the inner courtyard with the fainting young man in his arms. He didn't show up for a long time. He must have been recovering from his injuries!"
"Two days later, the handsome young man suddenly disappeared from Pearl Villa without a trace, leaving only Lu Chen alone!"
"Lu Chen stayed in Zihua Pavilion for two days and one night, and then went out to practice swordsmanship in Houhu!"
"When he was practicing his sword, he was so loud that he attracted the attention of many maids and guards in the villa!"
"Three days later, Lu Chen met two friends at Xinghua Tower and entered the Phoenix Tower together!"
"The spies don't know exactly what was discussed. The Phoenix Tower is heavily guarded, and my subordinate's ability is really limited. Please forgive me, two venerables!" Ding Kui said cautiously, appearing very cautious in his words and deeds, for fear of offending these people.
Two big guys.
Guan Yunpeng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you have done a good job. After this matter is resolved, I will definitely report it to the sect master and reward you well!"
"Then thank you Lord Huo!" Ding Kui heard this and his face turned red with excitement.
Qiu Shiqing said in a cold tone: "Ding Kui, where is this Lu Chen now!"
"Revelation to Master Lei, Lu Chen is hiding in Pearl Villa and has not come out. His subordinates have been sending people to keep an eye on him day and night. There is absolutely no way he can escape!" Ding Kui said quickly.
Qiu Shiqing nodded and said: "Be careful, let's go to Mingzhu Villa now, catch this Lu Chen, and let the sect master deal with it!"
"Wait a minute, Junior Brother Qiu, go straight over, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Guan Yunpeng couldn't help but persuade him when he saw Qiu Shiqing going directly to catch Lu Chen.
Qiu Shiqing frowned and said, "What's wrong? Tell me!"
"Pearl Villa is Zhao Zhenxian's territory. As Ding Kui said just now, the relationship between the two is obviously unusual. We rashly went to arrest Lu Chen. What if Zhao Zhenxian is alarmed?" Guan Yunpeng said with a serious face.
Qiu Shiqing looked up at the other party: "What are you going to do?"
"I suggest you first find out the situation, find the opportunity, seize it in one fell swoop, and leave Linjun City quickly!" Guan Yunpeng said.
"If Zhao Zhenxian is alerted and she rushes over with that bird and monster, once she tries to escape, we won't even have a chance to pursue her!"
"I came all the way here, I don't want to go in vain!"
Qiu Shiqing listened to Guan Yunpeng's words and pondered for a moment. He felt that what Guan Yunpeng said was very reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Brother Guan is really thoughtful. I was negligent. I will follow your ideas first!"
"Since the sect master sent us here, we must do this matter beautifully and don't let anyone gossip!" Guan Yunpeng said with a strategizing expression.
Qiu Shiqing's eyes were cold and he said: "This Lu Chen caused our Pope to lose his troops and generals. He has committed a heinous crime. When I catch him, I will crush him to ashes!"
