What happened at the adjudication meeting quickly spread throughout China through the news media, and all immortal cultivators had to re-examine Cao Xufei, the mayor of Mingyue City.
Everyone saw the outcome of the matter, but no one knew the reason. Senior figures from all the major immortal sects gathered in Mingyue City to hold a ruling meeting. They thought that Cao Xufei was shooting himself in the foot by doing this, but in the end it attracted the Qingyang Sect. Bow your head and admit your mistake and make compensation.
That's all. Fan Yuchen, the leader of the Meteor Star Sect, actually took action to seriously injure his own disciple, and then even led the great elder to run away. This result can be described as appalling.
The cause of the matter, no matter how you put it, cannot be that the two major immortal sects are weak and cowardly. Everyone's questions point to Mayor Cao Xufei. What kind of deterrent force does he have secretly? No one outside knows about it.
…
In a room somewhere in Wansheng City.
The environment in this room is not very good. Even if the only light in the room is turned on, it still looks very dim. The environment is not bad because it is dirty. Everything in the room is very cheap, whether it is the mattress or the floor. He looks like a poor family.
This is a typical hotel in a village in the city. There are only two kinds of people who can stay in this kind of place, one is poor travelers, and the other kind of people live in this kind of room largely intentionally. Why? Only they know.
And the two people lying on the bed at this moment belong to the second type!
The two people on the bed were a man and a woman. The man looked about forty years old, with stubble all over his face and a lazy expression. From the sweat on his forehead, he could tell that he had just finished his work.
The woman in his arms looked to be in her thirties, but judging from the blood-red halo that had just dissipated, she was an immortal cultivator. Both of them were immortal cultivators. Her actual age was unknown.
The woman was sweating profusely and lying in the man's arms, her expression full of satisfaction. Regardless of the dim environment, the face in front of her was still so clear. Thinking of the scene just now on the bed, she couldn't help but smile and asked softly: "Tired?"
The man reached out and stroked her head and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, I can do it again!"
The woman's smile became even stronger, she rubbed her head in the man's arms and said, "This is the fifth time, let's take a rest!"
The man felt the body temperature coming from her body and remained silent. He raised his eyes and looked at the beams in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Not long after, the cell phone on the bedside rang. The man took it and answered the call: "What's the matter?"
A rather nervous voice came from the other end of the phone: "The first boss, the second boss and the others..."
The man frowned slightly and urged displeasedly: "What's wrong with the second master? I told you to stop hesitating when speaking. How come you still can't learn it after so many years?"
The person on the phone explained: "The first boss, the second boss and their entire group were wiped out!"
The man's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't show too much excitement. His expression was just a little surprised. He was the head of Hades Guard, and he knew very well what the second head Liu Yanji and his team were doing, which was nothing more than intercepting and killing an unknown person. Although there is a little girl who has entered the hall beside him, how can Liu Yanji, who has reached the Dharma realm, be destroyed together?
"The second boss is also dead?"
After a while, Gan Jingcheng confirmed again, and the reply from the other end of the phone was also very simple. The second master was indeed dead!
After hanging up the phone, Gan Jingcheng frowned and looked at the photos of the scene sent by his subordinates. The corpses of all the Hades brothers were scattered all over the place. Almost all of them were killed with one blow. This kind of death made him feel even heavier. .
Regarding the death of the second master, Gan Jingcheng, as the eldest master, did not show too much sadness. He looked through the messages on his mobile phone with one hand and caressed the chest of the woman on the bed with his other hand.
"Did he take action?"
After thinking of a certain possibility, Gan Jingcheng tightened his hands and the woman on the bed softly screamed: "It hurts!"
Gan Jingcheng let go of his hand and kept his attention on the phone. He quickly rejected his guess, because it could be seen from the corpses of the Hades brothers that the wound was not caused by Extinction.
Most of the people he sent out were at the Entrance Realm. If Ye You used extermination, he might not even leave any corpses behind.
While browsing the news, a pop-up window with the latest news popped up on his phone. He clicked in, and after checking it, his expression became extremely strange. After a moment, he put down the phone and said slowly: "Cao Xufei?"
"Who is Cao Xufei?" the woman asked in confusion.
Gan Jingcheng said: "The current mayor of Mingyue City, it seems that this mayor is not simple!"
This woman's name is Ji Yingying. Although she is the third head of the Hades Guard, she usually doesn't care about anything. She only got the position of the third head because she was favored by the head master. None of the brothers of the Hades dare not give her face.
But also because he doesn't care about worldly affairs, he doesn't understand or care about many things in the world. When Ji Yingying heard that the second master had died, she was indifferent, as if an insignificant ant had died.
Now listening to Gan Jingcheng's words, Ji Yingying said indifferently: "How extraordinary is it? Isn't he just a mortal mayor? How dare he compete with the major immortal sects?"
Gan Jingcheng didn't bother to explain, so he handed the phone to Ji Yingying, got out of bed, got dressed, took out the razor and started shaving.
"Get up, we have something to do, we have to meet someone!"
Gan Jingcheng said something and went out without caring about Ji Yingying's confused look. It didn't take long for the two of them to pack their things, get in the car and leave the urban village.
Ji Yingying sat in the passenger seat, holding a mirror in one hand and applying makeup with the other, and asked: "Who are we going to see?"
Gan Jingcheng sped up the car and drove further and further into the night, saying, "Mingyue City has been able to exist among the major immortal sects for so long. I guess there must be some ulterior secret. This ruling conference has further revealed that Cao Xufei's not simple!"
"We are going to see Cao Xufei? Why?"
Ji Yingying was a little confused. Since becoming the third head of the Hades, he knew that a group of Hades had never had any contact with the mayor of Mingyue City. This move was too sudden.
Gan Jingcheng was silent for a moment and said: "Our opponent is Ye You. As far as I know, Ye You has been in Mingyue City for the past eighteen years. If this Cao Xufei is really extraordinary, he must be the person who knows Ye You best. , only through him can there be a glimmer of hope.”
"But this time, the second master and his party were all executed, and there was no trace of Ye You's action!" Ji Yingying was still confused.
Gan Jingcheng thought for a moment and said: "I'm also confused about this. According to the boy's route, he should be going to Fengyue City. Ye You should be there too. We must take this time to see Cao Xufei. If we wait for Ye You It’ll be troublesome if you react!”
Ji Yingying put down the cosmetics in her hands and said suddenly: "You mean, Ye You probably also wants to see Cao Xufei? And we have to get there before him?"
Gan Jingcheng nodded and said: "Yes, after this incident, it is estimated that the cultivators who have no backers in the world will either choose to use Cao Xufei or choose Mingyue City as their backer. Cao Xufei is now a piece of cake. Of course, this kind of thing must be done first Come first served!”
"But how can you be sure that Cao Xufei is willing to help us? What if..."
Ji Yingying's tone was a little worried, and Gan Jingcheng comforted him: "Don't worry, I will act by ear. If I can kill Ye You, I might as well be his sword for a while!"
Ji Yingying didn't speak anymore, she kept taking deep breaths to calm her worries, and her chest kept rising and falling, which was very tempting.
The two of them did not bring anyone else with them, and they moved very quickly. After two days, they finally entered the boundaries of Mingyue City. It would still take half a day's drive to enter the real urban area.
Gan Jingcheng stopped the car and looked for a house in the countryside to stay overnight. In addition, the car also needed to refill the gas.
The person who opened the door was a man who looked about fifty years old. He was covered with a veil and could not see his face clearly. He could only be heard coughing and looking sick.
"Old man, we are just staying for one night. We will leave at dawn tomorrow morning. You will have to pay for the room!"
Gan Jingcheng's attitude was very polite and courteous. It was already dark now, and it would not be easy to find other places. Moreover, although this place was in the countryside, if you look with your spiritual sense, you would find that this family was the only one within a mile of the surrounding area. For this place, Although Gan Jingcheng and Gan Jingcheng were confused about this situation, they didn't think much about it.
When the old man saw the two of them, he frowned slightly and then slowly relaxed his brows and said, "Come in!"
After that, the old man took the two of them to a room. The house was built with stones and looked very rough. It only had one floor. It was a bit strange to see a house suddenly appear in the wilderness.
Just when the two of them were about to enter the room, they heard a few subtle coughs coming from another room not far away. Both of them were immortal cultivators, and the sound was very clear to their ears.
The old man's face changed slightly, but he made no move and said, "You two should rest as soon as possible, it's not safe in this mountain!"
Gan Jingcheng, however, entered the house in no hurry. He turned around and asked, "Old man, is there anyone else at home?"
The old man nodded and said: "My granddaughter and I depend on each other. No, I caught a cold again yesterday, and even I was accidentally infected. If you two stay too long, I'm afraid you will also be infected. We'd better do it as soon as possible tomorrow morning." leave!"
Gan Jingcheng didn't believe it, because he heard a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy from the cough in the room. The little girl was obviously an immortal cultivator, but her breath was very weak, even worse than what he had seen before in Wanshengtang. The wind and rain arrived at night and were even weaker.
Looking at this old man again, although he looks like an ordinary person, from his strong body, it can be seen that he must be an immortal cultivator, but he did not detect the slightest fluctuation of vitality, and Gan Jingcheng did not detect it wantonly.
Since the other party deliberately hides it and hides it very well, he must be of high cultivation. It would be a bad thing if he offends such a big boss.
Gan Jingcheng thought for a moment, thinking that if he could cure this girl's illness, he might be able to win over a big boss, so he said: "Old man, I have been traveling around the world for many years and I know a little bit about medical skills. Why don't you let me Let me take a look?"
The old man hesitated for a moment, and then said politely: "Thank you for your concern, but I went to the hospital before and I just came back not long ago, so I won't bother!"
Gan Jingcheng said: "Old man, we also want to express our gratitude. There are many ways to say more..."
"If you two want to sleep, go to bed. If not, please leave as soon as possible!"
The old man's voice was a little stern and a little impatient. After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left, heading towards the girl's room.
The house is in a remote location, has no electricity, and the phone signal is weak.
Gan Jingcheng and Ji Yingying had no choice but to turn around and enter the room. They took the oil lamp on the table and lit it, then lay down snuggled up.
Gan Jingcheng waved his hand casually, gray light suddenly appeared in his hand, and formation lines swept out from his fingertips. In two breaths, a shielding formation was laid out in the room.
"I always feel that there is something wrong with this old man!" Ji Yingying finally said what was in her heart.
Gan Jingcheng nodded and said: "There is only one house in this barren mountain. It is difficult for people to believe that there is no problem. If this old man is also a cultivator of immortals, he will probably be above us. It is better not to cause trouble. Let's go tomorrow morning Leave as soon as possible.”
