Jiang Su sat on the edge of the lobby on the first floor, downplaying his presence and not attracting attention. The inn was full of people, but it took only a short while to find out a lot of news.
Ordered a pot of tea and a plate of preserved fruits.
"I heard that something big is going to happen in the Central Capital recently." A male cultivator said to the people at his table.
"When you came here, you all knew what happened in the outer city, right? Demon cultivator, that's a demon cultivator." The male cultivator repeated the second half of his sentence twice and tapped the table vigorously with his finger several times. Keep your eyes open hard.
"Wherever demonic cultivators appear, they should not appear in Zhongdu. This place borders the other four realms and is only a short distance away from the demonic realm. How could there be so many demonic cultivators coming to Zhongdu for no reason? .”
Another female cultivator took over the conversation and questioned softly. "Is there some hidden secret in this?" She frowned, pursed her lips, and then said nothing.
At this time, a male cultivator approached, picked up the wine bottle, and took a sip, "Do you think there is a secret realm in Zhongdu?"
Jiang Su frowned slightly when he heard this.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There is a secret realm in the world. I'll eat this table." The female cultivator said loudly just now. She is dressed in red, with a heavy sword on her leg, and has a northwest style of galloping around and showing great pride.
The girl quietly observed the few people, thoughtfully. She held a pitch-black elixir between her fingertips and exerted slight pressure.
His spiritual consciousness returns to the sea of consciousness, and he can see the words floating in the air.
The secret realm in Zhongdu mentioned by the male cultivator just now does exist, but that secret realm should not be opened during this time.
In the original text, when the male and female protagonists were in Yuanying, in order to participate in the world competition, they traveled to the capital. As a result, he accidentally entered the secret realm of Zhongdu and discovered the secret of eliminating demons in the world. After the world competition, Liu Yunqing became possessed by a demon, and Zhang Yunsheng exposed the matter in order to protect his lover.
Everyone in the world was shocked, and the two of them were pushed to the forefront.
As for the current demon cultivator incident in the outer city of Zhongdu, it is purely a vicious incident in which a group of people become the same kind as him. In the end, elders from many sects will come to solve the problem together.
With the speed of the senior brothers and sisters, they should have sent the demon cultivator they captured earlier to the city lord's mansion by now. After that, they waited for the city lord Chen Zeshen to hold a banquet and took the opportunity to arrest Zhang Yunsheng and Shen Yunyang.
"I don't know when Junior Sister and Senior Brother Liu will discover the dungeon where the monks are imprisoned."
City Lord's Mansion.
"Junior sister Dong, have you seen Zhang Yunsheng and junior brother Shen?" Liu Yunqing stood hidden behind the pillar at the entrance of the banquet hall, holding the wind sword tightly in his hand.
He didn't like to participate in this kind of banquet. Although the fairy banquet prepared by the city lord was full of food that could enhance spiritual power, he believed that spiritual power should be introduced by himself, and his cultivation level should be improved step by step.
He was more convinced by this feeling of suffering.
Pushing cups and changing cups, drinking and drinking together.
Dong Yiyi came out of the banquet, her cheeks were slightly red. She walked towards Liu Yunqing, holding the Zhenxuan sword in her hand. Dai Mei frowned slightly and replied: "I haven't seen Senior Sister Zhang and Junior Brother Shen for a while."
Liu Yunqing affirmed, "Junior Brother Shen likes this kind of opportunity...for free. He will definitely not leave the banquet before the end. And..."
Dong Yiyi asked: "And what?"
Liu Yunqing thought about it and said, "If Zhang Yunsheng wants to leave, she will come and tell me."
Hearing this, Dong Yiyi nodded in approval, not noticing the awkwardness in Liu Yunqing's expression when he spoke.
He thought: Although Senior Sister Zhang and Senior Brother Liu always wanted to see each other in the past, they were only in the sect. This time Luoning City and his party's actions are of great importance, and the two of them have a tacit understanding.
Dong Yiyi didn't say anything for a few breaths, and then said after careful consideration: "So... now they may have encountered something unexpected."
The two looked at each other, and their expressions immediately darkened.
Several people had speculated before coming to the City Lord's Mansion that the forces in Zhongdu were so complex that it was impossible to tell which party was planning to destroy everything and deliberately lure the demon cultivator into the situation.
The monks in the world of cultivation will kill the devil if they smell it. As long as this game is set up well, it can also be a good knife inserted into the four realms. Now that the two disciples have disappeared into the city lord's mansion, this is definitely not an outsider's place.
Dong Yiyi looked back at the banquet, glanced at the three sword cultivators from the Western Regions who were at the banquet, and said to Liu Yunqing: "Brother, you and I will explore the city lord's mansion on our own, so don't explain to these sword cultivators now. At one time, too many people left the table, which alarmed the crowd.
If the city lord's mansion is clean, then the two of them will come back. If it’s not clean…”
Liu Yunqing did not answer. He lowered his head and looked at the Wind Sword in his hand. His fingers were clenched tightly, the red flesh was white, and the joints were clearly visible.
"Zhang Yunsheng..."
The figure gradually retreated to the nearby vegetation, and the two disappeared from everyone's sight in tacit agreement.

Chen Zeshen was sitting lazily at the main seat of this fairy banquet, leaning closely against the maid behind him.
A total of 33 descendants of the Immortal family were entertained at this immortal banquet. With his position and eyesight, he could have a clear view of the dozens of low tables in the hall.
The man in white casually glanced at the corner and happened to see the four empty tables there. On one of them, the food was completely eaten, and the white jade plate was faintly reflective under the lamp.
"The sword cultivator from Shifang Sect has quite an appetite." He raised the corner of his mouth and commented playfully.
The maid behind him whispered back, "City Lord, they have already gone, why don't you keep the two people from before more secretly?"
Chen Zeshen said calmly: "No, let them go, the last one won't be able to escape anyway."
"Shifangmen"
There was an emotion of anticipation in his eyes, like a hunter in the jungle watching the prey in the dark, just like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, hiding a ruthless intention.
His voice was like the coolness of a cold spring hitting a stone, and he said, "I have a friend who walks the trees for me and is from the Shifang Sect." After saying this, he smiled.

Inside the inn
Jiang Su returned to his room with the cover and medicine box and put them down against the wall.
The moonlight shines on the table through the window, quiet and soft.
Jiang Su took off his bamboo hat, took out the six-turn furnace and put it on the open space next to the bed, planning to stay up late tonight and enjoy his addiction to alchemy. I just took out the futon and sat down cross-legged. Just listen...
"Dong dong dong"
Jiang Su walked quickly to the door softly, holding his breath and pressing his ear against the door. Why would someone knock on my door so late?
"Dong dong dong"
The sound came not from behind the door, but from behind me!
Jiang Su turned around suddenly and saw an arm suddenly stretched out from his window, knocking on the window.
? ? ? This is the second floor. Jiang Su stared at the window closely.
"Bang"
The window was completely opened, and a head slowly floated up from under the window, followed by a chest, lower body, and two straight and powerful legs.
There was another bang, louder than all the sounds just now. I saw that this man was too tall and his head hit the upper edge of the window.
…
He touched his head that was knocked as if nothing happened. He put his hands on the lower edge of the window and jumped down from the window. The moonlight behind him hit his red clothes.
The strong smell of blood immediately hit his nostrils, and Jiang Su couldn't help but frown as he stood at the door.
Jiang Su knew this man, he was an old patient, and he was easy to break with a crazy knife.
