The reception hall of the Lord's Mansion in Longyang City was brightly lit and full of people.
A middle-aged man wearing official uniform is sitting on the main seat. This middle-aged man has a resolute face and piercing eyes. He can tell that he has great cultivation. This is Zhou Yang, the lord of Longyang City, and a martial artist. The highest official of Xiping Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, his cultivation level has reached the Saint Mystical Realm.
Sitting next to him was an old man with white beard and hair, with a kind face and a scholarly aura. This was Meng Xiangzhi, a teacher from Taiping Academy, and his cultivation was also in the Saint Mysterious Realm.
There are four seats in each of the two rows. Sitting on the first seat is an old man with sharp eyes and a golden gown. This is Pingshan, the protector of Qingxu Mountain.
Sitting on other seats were leaders from the government and other sects. Behind these people stood many people, who gathered together to discuss the disappearance of people in Longyang City.
"City Lord Zhou, it's getting late, we can implement the plan!" Wang Pingshan said to Zhou Yang.
"My subordinates have gathered everyone together, the demon slayer guards have been in place, and the disciples of each sect have been assigned!" A man in official uniform stood up and reported to Zhou Yang.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I hope we can find out the real culprit today!" Zhou Yang said, cupping his fists to everyone.
Zhou Yang discussed an idea with various sects. They gathered the dignitaries together, and the disciples of each sect also gathered together. These masters went to various places to find the person behind the scenes.
The disciples and personnel who disappeared before disappeared when they were alone. Now that the personnel were gathered together, everyone braced themselves to see if the real culprit still dared to commit the crime.
After the discussion, everyone dispersed, and Zhou Yang led the government experts to a courtyard. The courtyard was very large, and the place was already full of people, all of whom were dignitaries in the city.
"Master Zhou is here!" Seeing Zhou Yang coming, these people seemed to have seen the backbone and greeted Zhou Yang.
"Okay, everyone, please rest assured. We have been able to deal with the real culprit behind the scenes. We will first ask you to stay here for one night." Zhou Yang pressed his hands to signal everyone not to make any noise.
Zhou Yang first calmed everyone's worries and assured everyone that everyone's safety would be protected, so that the people in the yard felt relieved.
The outer city didn't know anything about the happenings in the inner city. The people in the outer city only heard about the missing people in Longyang City, but no one around them noticed the disappearance, so everyone was not panicking.
In fact, many people have disappeared in the inner city, most of them are cultivators. The people in the inner city are already panicked, and many people have left Longyang City.
In the inn outside the city, Ye Xu was thinking about whether he should go out to investigate while it was dark. He was a little worried about leaving Miao Xin and the others behind when he went out by himself. After all, it was still unknown why people were missing in Longyang City. That's scary. If you know what kind of force it is, there are countermeasures.
"Let me go and investigate!" Xiang Wenjun said. As a ghost, she was very powerful and it was night, so it was very convenient for her to go out and investigate.
"Let's go together!" Ziying said excitedly.
"I'd better go by myself. There are many people from various sects in the inner city. They can't find me. The goal is too big if we go together. We might be discovered. If we are discovered, we won't be able to explain!" Xiang Wenjun still said I think it would be better for her to act alone.
"Yes, then I'll trouble Sister Wenjun!" Ye Xu thought about it and felt that Xiang Wenjun was right.
"Then Sister Wenjun, you should go to Wu Siyan! She is one of our own, don't let anything happen to her." Xiang Wenjun can protect Wu Siyan by going alone.
"Ah? Can't we go together?" Ziying was a little disappointed, she still liked to join in the fun.
"We can't do it now. Let's go together. We might start a fight with Qingxu Mountain. I'll tell you about Journey to the West later." Ye Xu said.
"Okay!" When Ziying heard that Journey to the West was going to be told, she immediately became happy and wanted Ye Xu to tell it now.
"I want to tell about Journey to the West!" Xiang Wenjun didn't want to go out when he heard that Ye Xu was going to tell about Journey to the West.
"Sister Wenjun, go ahead! I'll tell you when you come back!" Seeing that Xiang Wenjun also wanted to hear Journey to the West, Ziying immediately promised to tell her the story herself when she comes back.
Xiang Wenjun set off again, heading straight for the inner city.
Ye Xu asked the inn to prepare the food and send it to the room. After everyone finished eating, Ye Xu started to talk about Journey to the West, and continued until Havoc in Heaven. Ziying was so excited and tired that her eyelids could hardly bear it, but she still Want to hear.
Ziying was very good at this. She slept at a fixed time. Ye Xu stopped talking and asked Ziying to go to bed directly. Leng Ningyan and Miaoxin didn't let them go back to the room. They all meditated and practiced in the same room and set up formations.
There are also many people gathered here at Qingxu Mountain. People are gathered together and are not allowed to be alone in the room.
Hongchenxuan also had many disciples come this time. The leader was a middle-aged woman whose cultivation was also in the Saint Profound Realm. A group of them gathered together.
Wu Siyan and Li Yuning stayed together. After Xiang Wenjun found Wu Siyan today, Wu Siyan knew that everyone was fine. Now she was very happy, talking and laughing with Li Yuning.
Time passes a bit slowly at night, especially when the bed is no longer comfortable. Many powerful people have never cried like this. Although they rested for a long time during the day, they still feel sleepy at night and dare not sleep. Everyone yawns and sighs.
Those sect disciples were fine, but their vision was restricted at night and everyone was nervous.
The first half of the night was okay, but the second half of the night was too difficult, and some disciples also looked tired.
Wu Siyan could still chat and laugh with Li Yuning in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night she couldn't stand it anymore and leaned on Li Yuning and dozed off.
After midnight, this is the time when people are most likely to fall asleep. Many people fell asleep in a daze, especially the powerful people. They let their own guards watch, and they couldn't stand it anymore.
Wang Pingshan sat on a chair with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. In fact, he just closed his eyes and rested his mind. As a master of the Holy Mysterious Realm, it was a trivial matter not to sleep all night.
There is no moon in the sky, the sky is full of stars, but no one is in the mood to appreciate this beautiful night sky now.
A thin cloud came over Longyang City, the stars in the sky were blocked, and a breath entered Longyang City.
The aura arrived at the Qingxu Mountain station with ease, and the aura spread directly towards several monks.
Wu Siyan felt something covering her and hummed twice. Li Yuning was also dizzy and sleepy and didn't notice anything at all.
In the sea of Wu Siyan's consciousness, a piece of golden paper suddenly trembled, bursting out with dazzling light, flying directly out of the sea of Wu Siyan's consciousness, directly cutting through the aura that enveloped Wu Siyan.
With a squeaking sound, the aura was hurt by the light coming from the golden paper, and he immediately flinched.
Wang Pingshan immediately opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Wu Siyan, only to see a faint aura emitting from the golden light emitted by the gold paper.
"How brave!" Wang Pingshan flew out and punched the faint aura.
A punch from the Saint Profound Realm emitted white light, directly hitting the aura.
The aura dissipated in an instant, but soon came together again, seemingly without any harm.
Everyone woke up at once, not knowing what happened. Wu Siyan also opened her eyes and looked at the golden paper floating in front of her. She was very surprised. Why did her golden paper escape on its own?
Everyone else immediately gathered together and watched Wang Pingshan keep punching in the air. They couldn't see the aura. Only those in the Saint Xuan realm could detect it. The middle-aged woman from Hongchenxuan also took action, holding a long sword. Slash into the air.
Li Yuning looked at the golden paper in surprise, wondering what it was.
"What is this!" Li Yuning asked.
"This is mine!" Wu Siyan quickly picked up the golden paper and put it into the sea of consciousness.
As the golden paper was taken back by Wu Siyan, neither Wang Pingshan nor the middle-aged woman could detect the aura anymore.
"Run away?" the middle-aged woman asked with a frown.
"Palace Master Huang, it probably didn't run away. We found that we couldn't see it!" Wang Pingshan said.
"How is that possible?" The middle-aged woman from Hongchenxuan is a hall master named Huang Qiuying.
"How did you find out just now?" Hall Master Huang asked.
"It should be the light emitted by the golden paper that allows us to see." Wang Pingshan looked at Wu Siyan.
"Siyan, what is that piece of paper?" Huang Qiuying looked at Wu Siyan and asked.
"Ah? This is mine, I...I..." Wu Siyan couldn't explain it. She couldn't say that this was her certificate to join the Pingyang Sect! She didn't expect this piece of paper to be so powerful!
"Princess Siyan, can you take out your magic weapon to help us find that aura just now?" Wang Pingshan looked at Wu Siyan.
After all, Wu Siyan is the niece of the Empress of Wutang Kingdom. Although he is the protector of Qingxu Mountain, he does not dare to directly use the reputation of Qingxu Mountain to suppress Wu Siyan. After all, the empress is not easy to mess with.
"Okay, but I can only hold it myself. This is to save my life." Wu Siyan took out the gold paper again.
As the gold paper was taken out, the gold paper directly emitted golden light, and the aura directly appeared again. It did not leave, but hovered over the courtyard, as if unwilling to give in.
Wang Pingshan and Huang Qiuying rushed out again, killing the aura. The shadows of their fists and swords intertwined, trying to kill the aura.
However, after fighting for a long time, the two found that their attacks seemed to be ineffective. After the aura was dispersed, it returned to its original shape in an instant, unable to cause any damage at all.
As if he knew that he couldn't be harmed, the aura actually let out a harsh laugh and flew down directly in front of the two people, as if it wanted to catch them in front of them.
This breath did not come in the direction of Wu Siyan. It understood the power of the golden paper and circled the Qingxu Mountain disciples on the other side.
"What should I do?" Wu Siyan was a little scared. Her cultivation level was very low. Although she was protected by gold paper, she was frightened when she saw the aura attacking others and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a golden light appeared and directly hit the aura.
The aura screamed and quickly moved away from the crowd, only to see another piece of gold paper appear.
