Thinking of that dark space and the roar of the Star Eclipse Beast in the space, Xu Qiuqian did not hesitate.
"Okay, let's go there now."
After rushing over with Xia Qin, the city lord invited him into the hall.
After half a month of cultivation, the city lord looked much better, but his face was still a little pale.
"Manager Xu, you are here, take a seat."
Xu Qiuqian sat down.
The city lord has been fully aware of what Xu Qiuqian has done in the past half month, as well as the matter of the teleportation array. In addition, she has summoned his soul back, so his attitude is very cordial.
"The reason I called Store Manager Xu is because he knows a lot about mirage beasts. I was wondering if you also know something about that dark space. Manager Xu should also know that some monks died."
"I just heard Xia Qin say it on the way."
The city lord nodded.
"The monks who died basically died on the spot, and their souls left their bodies. No one noticed it at first. Later, more and more people died, and then we realized the seriousness of the matter. When we found out, several members of the major families Some of my disciples have died."
Xu Qiuqian was confused: "Then why not call some big families?"
"They didn't know the specifics when I called them here, and what happened in that space was only experienced by store manager Xu, my wife, and my daughter, so I would like to ask what store manager Xu saw and heard at that time. Can you find a solution?
Also, I would like to ask Store Manager Xu if he can bring back those souls. "
If you really can't find it, you can only discuss with the city lord of Youyuan City to temporarily seal that place.
"I don't know either. You can try it, but you need to have something personal."
"Don't worry, I know this. Can Manager Xu tell me what you saw and heard that day?"
"That day, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and I saw a dark space. There was no sound in the space. It was very quiet. I was about to think of a way to escape when I heard the roar of a star mirage beast. After that, I felt like I was in a dark space. It’s like the consciousness is being torn apart, and then everything returns to the way it was before.”
She skipped the part about entering the Void Mall.
"Really? But I heard from my wife that Store Manager Xu seemed to be in better condition than her at that time. Did Store Manager Xu use any method..."
"No, I don't know the reason."
The important thing is that she can't say it. Even if she does, those people can't come in. Only she can enter the Void Mall.
The city lord frowned.
After a long moment, he sighed.
"Then what does Store Manager Xu think of the roar of the mirage beast appearing in the dark space?"
Xu Qiuqian thought for a moment and truthfully stated her previous guess.
"Either the mirage beast was also sucked into the dark space, or that place is where the mirage beast exists."
The city lord nodded: "I think so too, but I am more inclined to believe that the mirage beast was sucked in."
Xu Qiuqian's heart moved.
"Why?"
"Manager Xu, think about it, in that place, even us monks would be addicted to it and lose consciousness. How could the mirage beast survive? I stayed there for more than ten years, and for me, time passed slowly and quietly. , I didn’t hear the sound of any mirage beasts, so I think it’s impossible for mirage beasts to exist in that place.”
Xu Qiuqian was silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
Is it really?
Why did she feel something was wrong?
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked: "Since our souls are sucked in, why is the mirage beast's whole body sucked in?"
The city lord was stunned.
Yes, why is it that human beings are souls and beasts are whole bodies?
"Also, there is a question I have been wanting to ask for a long time. Since the city lord lost his soul there, how did he come back completely unharmed, but was not found and didn't faint until a day later? The city lord was completely unaware at that time. Are you here?"
The soul is not something external to the body.
That's the soul!
How could the city lord not feel or react at all when his soul was lost?
Too strange.
"Yes, maybe it's because I was too focused on using this secret realm to attract more monks to Youling City, so I ignored it."
No, that's not right.
It stands to reason that if you lose your soul, you will definitely become stupid. How can you still act like a normal person?
The city lord is clearly hiding something.
Her face fell.
"City Lord, I hope you understand that your behavior will affect my judgment. If you lie, I will not be able to deduce the truth." Not to mention that the information she knows is very little, and the City Lord deliberately conceals it, which makes her even more Nothing more can be known.
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm lying?" The city lord's face darkened.
Xu Qiuqian was not afraid at all.
"What do you think?"
The two faced off for a long time, and finally, the city lord clicked his tongue.
He admitted impatiently.
"Yes, because after informing the major families of the existence of the secret realm, I went there again."
"Why?"
"I wanted to try to see if I could open the secret realm by myself, but I didn't expect that my soul was sucked in. Later, my wife came out to find me and took me back."
Xu Qiuqian: "...What is there to hide?"
The city lord coughed.
"If people knew about it, wouldn't they think I was a selfish city lord? It doesn't fit in with my external image."
After all, he was thinking about whether he could enter the secret realm first and gain some benefits, but he didn't expect that he would get caught in it.
Xu Qiuqian was helpless.
Why do you still have some kind of personality in the world of cultivating immortals?
But once this doubt is solved, it’s nothing.
"Then the next step is why the entire body of the mirage beast is sucked into it. It's very simple to understand. You can just take a few monster beasts over and test it."
The city lord nodded.
"Those monks whose souls were sucked in..."
"I'll go with them, as long as they bring their personal belongings."
"OK."
Immediately afterwards, the two went to the location.
When Xu Qiuqian passed by, she glanced at the location. It was indeed very close to the previous secret realm, and it didn't look any different from the surrounding environment. She couldn't even feel the fluctuations in the space. She could only vaguely feel that there was something strange. energy field.
She didn't come any closer.
Too dangerous.
Maybe your soul will be sucked in accidentally.
It's better to stay away.
The monsters were all ready-made monsters sent by the city lord to catch them. They caught a dozen of the small ones. After hearing about it, Ying Liangzhi of the Ying family also ordered his disciples to bring a few spirit beasts over.
"Since the past few days, I and several other major families have sent people to guard this place and we are not allowed to get closer. If we go any further, we will be in danger."
Xu Qiuqian hummed.
"Let's try throwing those monsters over first."
So the city lord ordered people to tie up the monster and throw it to the place where some monks had been lying.
Xu Qiuqian stared closely, waiting for the result.
