The man in gray robe is naturally Qu Wuming.
Not long ago, I just walked around the city lord's mansion and eavesdropped on the conversation between the city lord Bai Chuanling and Hall Master Xiao of the Qiankun Sect, and then escaped quietly again.
Now that Qu Wuming's mana has been fully restored, he can do these sneaky things with ease. Even at night, the city lord's mansion has opened restrictions in many key places. Qu Wuming can't go in and out without deliberately avoiding it. A deserted place.
Originally, he wanted to sneak into the city lord's palace secretly to find the young palace lord Bai Yunrui, but he accidentally learned that the Qiankun sect was also involved.
Qu Wuming was naturally aware of the news that the Qiankun Sect had been collecting techniques and treasures with the power of magnetism over the years. Even a few years ago, Qu Wuming used a treasure that contained the power of Yuan Magnetic to exchange a lot of spiritual stones from the Qiankun Sect.
But now, the Qiankun Sect is eyeing the meteorite with the power of Yuan Magnetic from the sky in Hulan City, so they will naturally try their best to recover it.
"If the City Lord's Mansion does something like this, a thief shouting to catch a thief, I can see through it at a glance. As long as the people of the Qiankun Sect are not stupid, they will definitely find out the fishiness soon." After Qu Wuming came out of the City Lord's Mansion, he ran straight to Liu Langxuan left - the whereabouts of the Young Mansion Master did not seem to be a secret in the City Lord's Mansion.
What Qu Wuming wanted to know was that before the Qiankun Sect took action, they must find out the details of the City Lord's Mansion. Because in his opinion, even if the city lord of a mere city lends her some courage, she should not dare to fight with a behemoth like the Qiankun Sect - if something really happened, the so-called Bai family, Wu family, etc. The Shi family is probably not willing to have an irresolvable conflict with the Qiankun Sect. As for supporting Shirakawa Ling unconditionally and without any bottom line? No need to think about it.
However, even though it was unreasonable, Shirakawa Aya did it anyway.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Qu Wuming had an intuition that the problem might lie with the young palace master.
At this time, the young master of the palace, Bai Yunrui, was lying on the bed like chaff, looking at Qu Wuming with a horrified look on his face. The pleading in his eyes was so strong that it even meant to be sad, for fear that Qu Wuming had not realized that he was asking for everything. , the attitude of letting you ask.
Qu Wuming felt sick at the sight and almost retched. He took the silver needle from Bai Yunrui's leg and asked, "Where is that meteorite now?"
"Meteorite? Yes, in the secret room of the city lord's palace. The secret room is underground in my mother's bedroom." Bai Yunrui has grown up so pampered, how has he ever suffered the kind of torture just now? Has anyone ever threatened his life? At this moment, I was focused on survival, so I answered honestly.
"Why did you design to harm the Fuwei Escort Agency?"
"For Lin Wanqing! My mother said that she has a special constitution. If I practice double cultivation with her, I can quickly improve my cultivation level."
"Lin Wanqing? Why does it have to be her? As far as I know, she is just an ordinary person." Qu Wuming's voice suddenly became much colder.
Bai Yunrui heard the chill in the gray-robed man's words, and was so frightened that he shivered all over, and a stream of heat flowed between his legs. He couldn't stop it, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know about this. I did everything according to my mother’s arrangements. I don’t know anything else! I really don’t know anything..."
Qu Wuming's face hidden under the cloak was now extremely dark, and he frowned with disgust. He withdrew most of the power of divine consciousness that had imprisoned Bai Yunrui's body - because when the power of divine consciousness touched him That warmth between my legs - it's really fucking disgusting!
"What other arrangements and plans do you have recently?"
"Yes, yes! My mother asked me to send someone to ask for the Holy Hand Medical Immortal. She also asked me to send someone to find out if the Fuwei Escort Agency invited anyone to help. Yes, if there are monks to support them..." When he said the last sentence, Bai Yunrui's voice suddenly became much softer, for fear that he would offend the mysterious man in gray robes.
"Your mother is a cultivator in the God Transformation stage and a city lord. Why are you at the first level of the Qi Refining stage at such an old age?" Qu Wuming asked.
"I, I'm sick." Bai Yunrui replied, "The magic power I cultivated will always be lost unconsciously, so for so many years, I have only been in the first level of the Qi Refining Stage."
"What kind of disease is this?" Qu Wuming was a little confused. He had never heard of such a situation.
"I don't know either. When I was six years old, I had already reached the second level of the Qi Refining Stage. Unfortunately, I suddenly fell seriously ill, and that's what happened..."
"Where does the Holy Hand Medical Immortal live? When will he arrive?"
"He lives in a place called Yixianling, four hundred miles west of Hulan City. We have a communication method with him, and he said he can arrive early tomorrow morning!"
Qu Wuming frowned, thinking that Bai Yunrui had arranged for people to investigate the Fuwei Escort Agency. Knowing that time was running out, he gave up his intention to continue questioning, and raised his hand to place it on Bai Yunrui's head.
"Ah! Don't kill..." Bai Yunrui was so frightened that he was about to scream when he felt a huge force pouring into his sea of consciousness. Then his eyes went dark and he knew nothing.
————
Fuwei Escort Agency.
Almost at the same time that Qu Wuming asked Bai Yunrui, Lin Yuan, Liu Kui and others were sitting at a round table, their eyes dull, motionless like soulless puppets.
However, at this time, there was an old man in black clothes beside the table, and he asked something with a gloomy face.
Whenever his eyes fell on someone, they would answer questions without emotion, without hiding anything.
"Qu Wuming, whose cultivation status is unclear, was rescued by Lin Wanqing halfway..." Hearing this, the old man frowned and muttered to himself, "There was so much commotion in Dongsheng City some time ago, even Bai Qiulai disappeared. , but they returned from there safely. Moreover, after the disaster relief, Qu Wuming and Lin Wanqing disappeared for a while... No, the city lord must know about this as soon as possible!"
The old man stood up with a loud sound, glanced at Lin Yuan and others with a sinister look, and said coldly: "Anyway, the main person in the city is Lin Wanqing, you guys just go to death first!"
As he spoke, the old man raised his palm high, aimed it at Lin Yuan's head and slapped it on his head.
There was only a muffled sound, and the old man's hand seemed to hit the iron plate. The shock caused the tiger's mouth to burst open and it flew upside down.
"Ah?!" The old man was horrified. He saw that there seemed to be a moving transparent wall above Lin Yuan's head, shrouding him. He didn't know yet. At this time, the Qu Wuming they talked about must have returned. Got it!
The old man was also a ruthless and decisive person. Just after this palm was blocked, he already knew that he was no match for Qu Wuming. Several mid-level thunder and fire talismans flew out of the storage ring.
The light on these thunder and fire talismans flashed, and they were about to fly to various places in the room and explode.
If the old man were allowed to detonate all these mid-level thunder and fire talismans in the house, everything within a radius of more than ten feet would be destroyed instantly, and Lin Yuan and others would be blown into ashes.
While the thunder and fire talisman was being sacrificed, a door of light lit up beside the old man, which actually activated a teleportation talisman to escape.
"Hmph! Are you trying to escape in front of me?" Qu Wuming snorted coldly. A copper tripod flew out from the storage ring, crashed through the door with a bang and flew to the center of the room. A yellow light rolled out from the copper tripod, and the old man sacrificed himself. Several Thunder Fire Talisman and the old man himself were swept by the yellow light, and flew into the bronze cauldron with a whoosh, making no sound.
Qu Wuming waved his hand, and the bronze tripod spun in the air and returned to his hand. He lowered his head and looked inside. In the space inside the cauldron, the old man in black robe was unconscious and floating there quietly. The thunder and fire talismans were hanging in the air like pieces of paper the size of rice grains.
Qu Wuming recited the spell and snapped his fingers at Lin Yuan and others. Lin Yuan and others suddenly woke up, and then they all looked dazed and had splitting headaches.
"Brother Qu!" Lin Yuan held back his headache and said, cupping his fists and saluting, "Brother Qu, did you see a man in black just now?"
"Well, I've already taken care of him." Qu Wuming nodded and said, "It's the old servant of the City Lord's Mansion whom I met in prison before."
"He is Bai Fu! The steward of the City Lord's Mansion." Lin Yuan said, "As soon as he rushed in, he restrained a few of us. Later, we didn't know what we did... Fortunately, Brother Qu came back in time. , otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Hey! It’s a waste that I am already a warrior in the ninth stage of Tianshu realm, but I can fall into his trap so easily!"
"Then Bai Fu is a cultivator in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. It is not an injustice if you were accidentally restrained by him." Qu Wuming said, "By the way, where is Lin Wanqing? I have basically found out the real purpose of the City Lord's Mansion. It seems to be her. So, you'd better take her and find a place to hide first. Wait until I take care of things here before coming back."
"She said she felt a little unwell and went back to the house to sleep. Brother Qu, please wait a moment and I'll call her!" After hearing this, Lin Yuan hurriedly got up and went straight to Lin Wanqing's bedroom in the backyard.
Liu Kui called the guys from the escort agency to clean up the broken doors and windows and the messy cups and plates in the room. While he was busy, he saw Lin Yuan running over from the backyard in a panic. Full of panic, he said: "Brother Qu! Brother Qu! Please help me check, Qing'er is unconscious!"
After hearing this, Qu Wuming and others hurriedly followed Lin Yuan to Lin Wanqing's boudoir.
The situation was urgent at this moment, so naturally they didn't care much. Everyone went straight to Lin Wanqing's bed and saw Lin Wanqing lying quietly on the bed, breathing long and long, not like she was sick, but she could not wake up no matter how her father and brother called.
Qu Wuming stood at the head of the bed. The power of his spiritual consciousness invaded Lin Wanqing's sea of consciousness. No abnormality was found. He carefully looked up and down several times with his celestial eye technique. In addition to discovering that the vitality in Lin Wanqing's body seemed to be increasing at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people. Despite the passage of time, the root cause of any illness has not been found...
