The sky in the mountain city was still gray in the morning. Chu Liang and Yun Chao set out very early. Before the morning sun came up, they arrived at a large courtyard on the edge of the city.
The high courtyard wall is wrapped with iron wires like thorns, and only a corner of the cornice can be seen from the outside.
It was quiet all around and the door was closed.
"The echo of Tianyin Wave is inside. Let's rush in and catch him off guard." Yun Chaoxian said impatiently.
"Wait." Chu Liang grabbed the halberd on his back and stopped him.
"Huh?" Yun Chao was stunned for a moment, "Brother Chu, why are you grabbing the handle of my halberd?"
"..." Chu Liang was speechless for a moment, took a deep breath, and explained to him: "It's too quiet around here, and I feel something is wrong."
"Is it normal to be quiet at this hour?" Yun Chaoxian was confused.
Chu Liang shook his head, "I have just used my spiritual consciousness to explore the entire front yard. It is empty and there is nothing. It is too abnormal."
His spiritual consciousness could only see the front yard from a distance, and there was not a single person in the entire front yard. Not only were there no people, there were not even any insects or birds, which made him feel particularly strange.
"What should we do?" Although Yun Chaoxian was confused, he still listened to Chu Liang's words.
"Let's wait and see before talking."
After saying that, Chu Liang took Yun Chao and hid in a side street, lowered his body and observed the courtyard.
Just a moment later, there was a rush of footsteps and the sound of wind breaking through the air.
When he turned around, he saw a group of police officers in black clothes with knives rushing over from the end of the street at a very fast speed.
The policemen in the backing city are all probably second-level warriors, and the leader of the team is a third-level warrior, who is already considered a master in the city.
An ordinary border town would normally have this configuration.
The team of police officers rushed over, and immediately two people kicked open the door, and several people flew up the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard in various directions.
As soon as someone stepped into the front yard, they felt ripples of evil energy.
laugh--
The grass and trees in the front yard suddenly stretched out, turning into long vine ropes that wrapped around the officials who entered, throwing them around in the air.
A few of the weaker ones were in a state of embarrassment for a while, but thanks to the policemen who came in to support them, they cut off the vegetation with a few swipes.
"Sure enough, there is something fishy." Chu Liang, who was using his spiritual sense to explore outside, whispered.
These plants and trees are not monsters, but have been cast with enchantments, similar to formations, which will be triggered after someone enters, causing some trouble for the visitors.
Immediately afterwards, the official rushed into the backyard.
A burst of blood spread instantly!
There were about a dozen corpses all over the place, all in miserable state of death, with rivers of blood flowing from them.
"If we had rushed in rashly and been slightly blocked by the formation in the front yard, when we entered the backyard again, we would have been bumped into by the officials who arrived."
Only then did Chu Liang understand the purpose of this arrangement.
"At that time, the monster will be able to escape and put the blame on us."
Although these officials are unlikely to have the strength to retain the two of them, it will still be very troublesome for them if they are discovered at the crime scene.
If you stay, the explanation may not be clear, and you will have to be detained for a period of time until the truth is found out before you can be released. If you leave by force, you will be found at the mountain gate sooner or later. The pressure from the imperial court will be on Tiangang Sect and Shushan Sect. It is impossible for Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to condone the lawlessness of the disciples.
No matter what, by the time they cleared up the matter, the demon tribe's divine envoy had calmly left the city.
"So cunning!" Yun Chao saw the situation clearly first, and then said angrily: "If it weren't for your cleverness, Brother Chu, I might have fallen into the trap."
"So it's always good to be calm when things happen." Chu Liang could only smile.
"But..." Yun Chaoxian wondered again, "How come his arrangement seems to be specially prepared for us?"
"It should be." Chu Liang said: "The demon tribe's envoy must have received the news about the Hidden Forest Mountain. Since you can track the Hidden Forest Mountain, it is not surprising that he guessed that he has the magical power left by you. Against such a cunning enemy, it is difficult for the same method to work twice."
"Ah?" Yun Chaoxian suddenly realized, "Has my Tianyin wave been cracked? Damn it, I can't catch him now."
"No rush, let's go back first." Chu Liang turned around and said.
…
Not long after the two returned to the inn, a notice from the government was sent out.
An extremely bad massacre occurred in the city last night. All seventeen members of the family were killed, and the perpetrator was at large.
The victim was a medicine dealer in the backing city, and some valuable medicinal materials were indeed lost at home, the most precious of which was a golden lotus.
It was initially judged that the murder was due to financial reasons. The government immediately sealed off the backing city, and also offered a large reward for the traces of the perpetrator and the Underworld Golden Lotus.
Kaoshan City is adjacent to the Zhennanyu Mountain. Many cultivators venture out to the Zhennanyu Mountain to work as herb collectors all year round, and the natural materials and treasures they collect are resold in the city. Therefore, there are many drug dealers like the victim in the backing city. At this time, when this incident occurs, everyone in the city is in danger.
The government also attaches great importance to it.
"Netherworld Golden Lotus..."
After Chu Liang read the notice, he muttered the name.
It seemed that the "evil" in the Soul Realm space mentioned before that he had reached the third level of the Five Elements Realm and needed heavenly materials and earthly treasures belonging to Yin and Water to refine. Among them, the underworld monster is a very suitable choice.
This Underworld Golden Lotus is one kind.
It can help cultivators in the fifth realm break through the realm, which shows that it is indeed a valuable treasure.
Moreover, this thing comes from the south of the Southern Territory and grows in the underworld sea in the extreme south. It is quite rare near the Zhennan Territory Mountain.
"As expected, I can no longer feel any trace of him." Yun Chaoxian tried a few more times, but as expected, Tian Yinbo didn't respond.
The echo from the previous murder scene was that the angel deliberately seduced him.
"It's okay, he was too smart this time but was misled by his cleverness." Chu Liang analyzed: "He probably reported it to the government on his own after killing someone. He originally wanted to throw you out and attract the attention of the government, and then he could get rid of your tracking. , we were able to escape in the chaos. But... we didn't fall into his trap, the government didn't catch the suspect, and chose to seal the city immediately."
"The city gate had not been opened when the attack occurred, so he had no chance to escape. The envoy was probably also sealed in the city at this time."
"If he forcibly escapes from the mountain city, unless there is some secret channel, he will definitely attract the attention of the government. As a demon clan, he should not take such risks in the Yu Dynasty. Before that, we still have a chance to arrest him in the city. Live him."
Yun Chaoxian stared at Chu Liang who was calmly narrating with a pair of bull's eyes. He felt that he had not followed a step and could not understand every word.
But after Chu Liang finished speaking, he nodded immediately, "Brother Chu is right...it's pretty much what I thought."
Then he lowered his head and stroked for a long time, and still couldn't help but ask: "So, where are we going to catch him?"
"Let me think about it, there is always a way." Chu Liang said calmly.
After Yun Chao left first, he didn't think hard about it himself, but took out the soul arresting order.
Both the government and them are regarded as forces on the right path.
Perspectives are, after all, limited.
If you want to check this kind of thing, you should ask your brothers in the underworld.
So he put his consciousness into the soul-detaining order and took the initiative to send a message.
