Although the small town is inconspicuous, the lord's mansion here is extremely luxurious.
The entrance hall and buildings are made of the finest Nanhai rosewood. Every pillar and beam is carefully carved by craftsmen. The floors of the mansion are all covered with warm jade, with delicate lotus patterns engraved on them, which is in line with the traditional Nanhai style.
The style is completely different, with a hint of oriental charm.
The most extravagant thing is undoubtedly the master bedroom where the lord usually lives. It is said to be a room, but in fact it is as large as the entire mansion of an ordinary wealthy family. When you open the sandalwood door, you can see the golden roof, jade bricks, red railings and green glass, and the entire house is visible.
They are all covered with exotic carpets, and the various decorations and furnishings are also of different styles, but anyone with a discerning eye will know that these are all priceless.
"Lord, the carriages and horses are ready. The ladies, young masters and ladies have all boarded the carriages. When do you think we will set off?"
The man half lying on the soft velvet bed was the lord of this small town. At this time, he was staring blankly at the night pearl on the roof that exuded soft brilliance. He even ignored the reports from his subordinates and was completely absorbed in it.
A state of daze.
"Oh, that's all, nothing is more important than life. The wealth I have accumulated over the years is enough to have food and clothing for the rest of my life. Anyway, I have always wanted to live in the East China Sea for a long time. How about choosing Qinglan City in the Cangyun Empire? I heard that there
It is now the most livable city in the entire East China Sea.”
After sighing, the man turned over from the bed and waved to the old housekeeper who was still kneeling on the ground, before heading to the back door to meet his family.
But before he took a few steps, the man felt a chill on his neck. The cold dagger was already pressed against his throat. At some point, three figures appeared behind him.
The man was horrified. He was a monk in the Dan Formation Realm, but he didn't detect any aura of the intruder. Even if three people were standing in front of him, except for one of them, he could tell that he was an entry-level monk in the Dan Formation Realm.
, the other two people couldn't see through it at all.
"Three of you, if you have anything to say, please tell me. You are here to steal money. I can give you whatever you want."
The man's body couldn't stop shaking. He didn't know who these three people in green cloaks were. Of course, it didn't matter who they were. What was important was that he didn't want to die, so no matter what conditions the other party put forward, he would try his best.
May be satisfied.
"Money? Do you think you can do whatever you want with a few dirty dollars? It's not something you get by plundering people's wealth. It's really shameless."
Uncle Bao was obviously very disgusted with the small town lord's behavior of only asking for money, so he slapped the other man on the face, leaving a red mark.
The man was so angry that he stood up and wanted to resist, but was restrained again by Su Fenqiao's short blade. In the face of death, he could only swallow his anger and dare not make any mistakes.
"Tell me, why is martial law in the city recently? What happened to your Guixu Sect? How long will this situation last?"
Li Mu asked in a deep voice, a series of questions that were true or false, false within the truth, false within the truth, which successfully influenced the small town lord's judgment on their identities.
"I'm scared to death. It seems that they are not here to kill me. They are probably spies from other hostile forces in the South China Sea. They are trapped in the city due to the recent martial law in the Holy Land. Without information, they can only take the risk to investigate from me and fool them.
Forget it."
The man pretended to be scared and said tremblingly that the Guixu Sect was going to hold a large-scale sacrificial event recently, so the superiors required the entire Holy Land to raise the alert level. As the lord of a small place, he was only following orders. If
If necessary, he can handwrite a customs clearance document, and Li Mu and the others can leave the town immediately.
The "nonsense" was so well crafted that the man felt that he was sure of victory, but the severe pain that came from his right hand at the next moment caused him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Su Fenqiao's short knife was like cutting tofu, directly cutting off all five of his fingers, causing blood to pour out. The heartbreaking pain made the man roll on the ground and let out bursts of screams.
Due to the formation that was set up in advance to isolate the sound, such a movement did not startle others. Li Mu and the other three quietly watched the man cover his severed hand and scream in pain, with no intention of helping him stop the bleeding.
"Give you another chance. If you still talk nonsense, it won't be your finger that gets broken."
Li Mu squatted beside the male protagonist of the small town and pinched the other man's severed hand. The severe pain made the man's face distort, but Su Fenqiao's cold words made him dare not speak any more.
"Demon, devil, these three people are all devils. If you don't tell the truth today, you will definitely die here."
In fact, men don't have much loyalty to the Guixu Sect. Most of their lords have only joined the Guixu Sect in recent years. After all, such a large territory always needs someone to manage it.
Normally, the Guixu Sect stipulates that these lords must pay huge sums of money on a monthly basis. This amount is absolutely astronomical compared to the taxes of other countries and forces in the fairy world.
The lords would pass on the pressure to the people in their territory, so to make a living in the Guixu Holy Land, they would basically earn ten yuan, and only have one yuan left in their hands, which is very exaggerated.
Since there is such a relationship of interest, there is no such thing as loyalty.
This time the Guixu Cult issued a killing order, requiring the wanted criminal to be found within ten days. It is already the eighth day. If he still cannot be found after two days, it is estimated that a large number of small lords like men will become Guixu Cult Leaders to vent their anger.
The object of anger.
This was also the reason why he took his wife and children by car and fled to the East China Sea overnight. With such prerequisites, and faced with Li Mu's cruel methods, he naturally no longer kept secrets and directly told everything he knew.
came out.
"Three heroes, this is what happened. What do you think it has to do with us if this undersea prison is destroyed? The people above are going to explain it. If the prisoner cannot be found, we will have to take the blame. So I am planning to run away overnight.
It’s on its way.”
This lord was a complete idiot. Not only did he tell everything he knew, he even directly vented his dissatisfaction with the Guixu Sect. When he got excited, he got up and took out the seven wanted portraits to Li Mu and the others.
look.
"I'm going. If I had known, I would have been more careful and changed my appearance. Now I'm a wanted criminal again."
Li Mu held his wanted order in his hand and was speechless for a while. He did not expect that the Guixu Sect's operation was so simple and crude. He directly regarded the eight people who finally entered the sea prison as suspects and issued a kill order for the whole area.
make.
"It should have been reported by the patrol team at sea. There are no survivors in the underwater prison. The only clue they can find is the list of people who entered the prison and then checked them one by one. Anyway, the intruders can only be among these people."
The conversation between Su Fenqiao and Li Mu made the small town lord stunned on the spot, and he felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
"What are they talking about? The sea prison? Why are they talking about the sea prison? They also say that it would be better to disguise themselves at that time. They also say that the other six people are dead and they are the only two wanted persons?"
The man's face gradually turned pale, and he finally realized how unlucky he was, because the three people in front of him had clearly escaped from Guixu Prison, and two of them were the people on the wanted order.
