Two hours had passed since the battle with Wang Hu just now. Shi Xu and Jia Sheng stood in the ruins of a shop, their brows furrowed tightly.
"Master Shi's nephew, we can't delay the time any longer. If we can't find Wang Hu anymore, Sect Master Ren should be on his way to the market!" Jia Sheng said immediately.
Shi Xu nodded. There was nothing he could do. If he couldn't find Zhou Tu, he couldn't lure Wang Hu out. In addition, what he was even more worried about was that Zhou Tu had been killed by Wang Hu! After all, with Wang Hu's current strength, monks in the early stage of Linking Dan can easily kill him. Although Zhou Tu's strength is not weak, as expected, he can't do a few moves in Wang Hu's hands!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
At this time, more than a dozen figures suddenly flew over from the air. The weakest among them was in the early stage of pill formation, while the strongest one, like Jia Sheng, had already reached the late stage of pill formation!
When he saw these people coming, Jia Sheng frowned. Things were in trouble!
Sure enough, the next moment...
"Shi Xu! Your Ziyan Sect is acting too domineeringly!"
"Hmph! There is a killing spree in Tonggufang City, and the people killed are all casual cultivators. Is it you, Shi Xu, who wants to become a demon? Or does the Ziyan Sect want to fall into the devil's path?"
"Shi Xu, you'd better give us an explanation today! Otherwise, even if you are a true disciple of the Purple Flame Sect, you must pay the price!"
Shi Xu was very agitated. He forced himself to calm down, and then looked at the alchemy monks who surrounded him. The two leaders among them were two other late alchemy monks who were stationed in Tonggufang City. One was Wu Xiong and the other It's Zhang Xu, and the others are all the masters behind the major shops in Fang City.
The only good thing is that Yin Mei from Huazhou Hall and Fan Yan from Qingyun Pavilion were not present. Those two people must have received the news from Wang Hu and are now busy sending messages to the sect and have no time to pay attention to other trivial matters.
"Do you want to give an explanation? The leader of our sect will arrive in Tonggufang City soon and will give you an explanation!" Shi Xu suddenly said coldly, how could he continue to look for Wang Hu with so many Danjie periods staring at him? So these people must be suppressed first!
As soon as they heard that Master Ren was about to arrive in Fang City, the expressions of all the alchemy monks suddenly changed. Although they were coming fiercely and looked like they were tough, Shi Xu lowered his head, but in fact, Weiguo was the territory of Zi Yan Sect. Once Zi Yan Sect If Yanzong really wants to make up his mind to do something, although there are many casual cultivators, they are all in disarray. How can they dare to stop him?
Whoosh!
At this time, Guo Yu from Wanbao Palace also flew over. He saw many scattered cultivators confronting Shi Xu. Without saying anything, he flew directly to Shi Xu to protect him.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in Shi Xu's ears: "Broken throat!"
puff!
The next moment, a blood line was drawn from the old wound on Shi Xu's throat again, and then his vitality disappeared quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he became a corpse!
thump……
The body fell to the ground, and there was no time to even scream...
The accident happened so suddenly that all the alchemy monks around him were stunned at the same time, and then they realized what had happened!
"Shi Xu!" Guo Yu shouted hurriedly. He immediately took out a handful of life-saving elixirs and wanted to pour it into Shi Xu's mouth, but when his hand touched the other person's body, his face suddenly became extremely ugly! His vitality has been exhausted, Shi Xu can no longer die, and any life-saving pills are of no use!
"Who is it! Which of you killed Shi Xu!" Guo Yu said angrily, looking at the surrounding pill-forming monks with bloodshot eyes. Shi Xu was not only a true disciple of the Zi Yan Sect, but also a genius of the Earth Spirit Root! The future master of Ziyan Sect! When Shi Xu came to Tonggufang City, the sect leader gave him a secret order to protect Shi Xu. Even if he died, nothing would happen to Shi Xu!
Hearing this, the faces of the dozen or so alchemy cultivators were also very ugly. They had indeed come to Shi Xu to ask for an explanation, but they would never dare to take their lives unless they no longer wanted to live!
"Fellow Daoist Guo, we...we didn't kill him! I am only in the early stage of pill formation, how can I kill Shi Xu?" One of the casual cultivators in the early stage of pill formation hurriedly explained.
"That's right! This has nothing to do with us monks in the early stage of forming pills. Even if we want to kill him, we don't have the ability!"
"No one saw anyone take action just now. The murderer's strength is very terrifying. Even I, who is in the middle stage of pill formation, can't do it!"
As everyone was talking, their eyes quickly fell on the three late-stage alchemy monks present: Jia Sheng, Zhang Xu and Wu Xiong.
"Which one of you made a move just now!" Guo Yu roared angrily, looking at the three of them with murderous intent.
"I didn't take action! I didn't see anyone else taking action either!" Wu Xiong immediately replied.
"Me too." Zhang Xu also replied.
"I'm just like the two of them." Jia Sheng replied with a frown.
Seeing the three people denying it, Guo Yu suddenly became even more angry. The only ones who could kill Shi Xu here were these three people, and one of them must have lied!
Guo Yu was about to have an attack when he suddenly heard a message. His expression changed and he said immediately: "Since the three of you are innocent, let's open the formation in Fangshi! The master of our sect is here!"
…
Yanfeng Inn, Tianzihao training room.
The stone door slowly opened, and Xie Wanyan walked in immediately.
"Is the problem solved?" Zhou Tu asked immediately.
"I have killed Shi Xu, and no one will know the master's secret anymore!" Xie Wanyan immediately replied.
Zhou Tu nodded with satisfaction. He robbed everywhere in Fang City, all in the name of Zi Yan Sect. Shi Xu took all the responsibilities on his behalf. And now that Shi Xu is dead, everything will be investigated. Not on him!
Of course, he didn't want to kill Shi Xu originally, but Shi Xu knew too many things, and keeping him alive would only cause trouble for him...
"But, Master, now there is a Nascent Soul Stage monk outside Fangshi." Xie Wanyan continued.
There was no surprise for Zhou Tu. The Nascent Soul monk was probably Sect Master Ren of the Ziyan Sect, or Sect Master Meng of the Qingyang Sect. As for Lingxiao Palace, it was too far away and it was impossible to arrive so quickly.
"When you were in the foundation building stage, your strength was comparable to that of a pill-forming monk. Now that you are at the peak of pill-forming, can you compete with a monk in the Nascent Soul stage?" Zhou Tu asked immediately.
"Yes!" Xie Wanyan replied with certainty.
"Then don't worry about him." Zhou Tu said calmly. Since Xie Wanyuan can fight against the Yuanying monk, he has nothing to worry about! In addition, it is more likely that the person coming is Sect Master Ren. Shi Xugang has just died. Sect Master Ren must give priority to investigating the murderer, and then find the whereabouts of 'Wang Hu'. But there are so many monks in Fang City, no matter how the other party investigates, Can't find it on him!
"Yes!" Xie Wanyan responded immediately.
"I'm going to start practicing now. You go and guard outside. If nothing big happens, don't come in and disturb me." Zhou Tu continued.
"Yes!" Xie Wanyan nodded and walked out quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tu started practicing immediately. Now that the resources for forming pills have been gathered, he must seize the time and form pills as soon as possible...
