The efficiency of cultivators is vastly different from that of mortals. Chen Mo and Chu Wushuang left the death row less than half an hour later.
When dragging the prisoners out, they were intercepted by the guards again. Chen Mo only said Wang Zongfeng's order and left in a swaggering manner.
As for how to deal with it afterwards, that's not something he should worry about.
The palace was heavily guarded, and relying on the holy order, no one was unaware. They quickly found Wang Yan's residence, a deserted red-painted palace. There were scattered plants in the flower pond outside the door. Several spiritual herbs from the world of cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please meet and talk!"
Chen Mo sensed that the old man was practicing in the hall, and he heard the voice from outside the hall. Soon, the latter opened the door. But it looked like he had predicted that Chen Mo would come.
"Fellow Taoist's speed in investigating the case is quite fast..."
When Wang Yan saw Chen Mo dragging a prisoner covered in blood, he knew that he had gone to death row, and ignored Chu Wushuang behind him: "How is it? Is there any progress?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to participate this time even if you don't want to."
Chen Mo explained his guess to Wang Yan: there should be two groups of people who found the Wufu Gang together. One group discussed a specific action plan with them, and the other group wanted to mess up the situation in Chudu. In this way There is an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"I understand what Fellow Daoist Chen said. Are you saying that besides us, there is also a force in the world of cultivation that is secretly helping a certain prince to seize the throne?"
"Yes." Chen Mo said: "Since this matter has involved the struggle in the world of cultivation, I would like to ask fellow Taoists not to sit idly by. This is a senior member of the Wufu Gang. From his mouth, fellow Taoists should be able to learn The whole story.”
Only then did Wang Yan understand that Chen Mo had gone to great lengths to bring the prisoner here just to drag him into the water. "If things are really as fellow Taoist said, it's not too late for me to take action!" As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped a palm on the head of the unconscious prisoner. Before Chen Mo could say anything, the man started bleeding from all his orifices. Vice Hongfei looks like a ghost.
"Soul Searching Technique..."
Chen Mo was dumbfounded in his heart. He never thought that Wang Yan would act so decisively, let alone perform a soul search on a mortal. Isn't he afraid of heaven's retribution?
Chen Mo noticed that Chu Wushuang was a little scared when she saw this scene, and suddenly remembered that she might have never seen this before, so she whispered: "It's okay, don't worry, I'm here to take care of you."
"Um......"
On the other side, Wang Yan also put away his soul-searching spell. He immediately frowned. Chen Mo really didn't lie to deceive him. This would make things much more difficult to handle.
"In your opinion, Fellow Daoist Chen, how should this matter be handled?"
Chen Mo said: "My Taoist friend Wang has a high level of cultivation. You should take the lead in this matter, and I will assist you. What's more, my Taoist friend has been practicing for many years and his experience is naturally much higher than mine. It's all up to you to decide."
Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the protector of the foreign sect in front of him knew some rules, and the unhappiness of being threatened before disappeared.
"Since fellow Taoist praises me, I have made a fool of myself. First of all, Emperor Chu cannot live without the protection of cultivators..."
"It's natural. I want her to accompany me..." Chen Mo pointed at Chu Wushuang and said: "She is Chu Chengfeng's daughter. She will not look out of place when entering the palace, and she can hide her identity. There is also an additional layer of protection for the imperial power.”
Wang Yan glanced at Chu Wushuang's cultivation level, which was at the thirteenth level of Qi refining. Having lived for most of his life, he naturally knew that the monk in front of him was afraid that his fiancée would be affected, and wanted to find a safe place to hide, but he didn't say it explicitly. He didn't want to break the window paper, so he took advantage of the situation and said:
"That's best. Then the next step is for you and me to take action. First, we will search near the location mentioned by the prisoner. Then we will follow the clues and find the person behind the scenes. All problems will be solved."
"Young Daoist Wang has a good plan, I admire you!" Chen Mo flattered him without leaving any trace, and then asked: "I wonder how far away from us the location mentioned by the prisoner is, and when will he set off?"
"That place is not far away. I have to go to the Criminal Department first to find some clothes of the suspect. This will help to find their whereabouts. By the way, if you have any special skills, I hope you will not hide them. "
"Definitely, definitely..." Chen Mo looked careless. How could he have so many secrets? After Wang Yan left, he turned around and told Chu Wushuang to pay attention to safety, even though he believed in Zhaotian Sect's two foundation builders. Monk, but everything is not done by intuition.
"If you encounter any danger, crush it. I will come back as soon as possible to save you." Chen Mo handed her a ray of his consciousness and said seriously.
Chu Wushuang said: "Chen Mo, let me go with you too."
"No, if I have the ability to control the overall situation, I will definitely take you with me, but I am not sure about this myself, so you can't go into danger with me."
Chen Mo patted her head: "Be obedient and don't forget what I promised you in the cave."
"...Okay, then you should also be careful."
Chu Wushuang didn't insist anymore. Perhaps she knew she was a burden, so she obeyed Chen Mo's wishes.
...
Three hundred miles away, there is a small city and county. According to the prisoner, Zheng San and Han Lu are hiding here. There are many properties of their Wufu Gang here, and it is also a secret corner that few people know.
"Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. This is our only advantage, so we must not alert the enemy."
Chen Mo stood on a hill outside the county, looking into the distance and said.
Wang Yan pondered for a moment: "The murderer's breath did stop here. In my opinion, he rushed directly into the city to get the person. It's simple and clear. You and I are two foundation-building monks. We are afraid that they will not be able to fly with wings." ?”
"I don't think it's appropriate." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "They haven't left yet. They must be cooperating with the people behind the scenes. If there is a similar foundation-building monk hidden in this city or county, or even two of the same level, we will fight. We can't win quickly; if they run, we can't stop them, so the advantage will be consumed."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"I'd like to trouble fellow Daoist Wang to take action and confine this city and county with a formation. At that time, we can catch turtles in a jar."
Wang Yan glanced sideways at Chen Mo: "Don't be ridiculous, Fellow Daoist Chen. If I have the ability to imprison a city, why would I go to perform the mundane tasks of the sect?"
Chen Mo didn't have much hope at first, but when he heard what Wang Yan said, he changed his strategy: "Fellow Daoist Wang, what if we use the earth escape technique instead? Find their approximate location to narrow the scope of the confinement."
"Earth Escape Technique..."
Wang Yan shook his head and said: "I have never learned this kind of magic that extends from the five elements. If you can and can find their location, there is some hope."
Chen Mo chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, how about we make a deal? I'll teach you the Earth Escape Technique, and you'll teach me a spell of the same level, so that you can find their location underground."
"Haha, you kid..."
Wang Yan was a little moved by what Chen Mo said. There are very few techniques of earth escape in the outside world. There is no other reason. This is a skill that can save one's life. Naturally, the fewer people know about it, the better.
Who could bear to refuse the chance to survive? Seeing Wang Yan lost in thought, Chen Mo knew that the deal was done.
He is not worried about Wang Yanhei taking advantage of him, even if the opponent is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. Although he can kill with a small gap in realm, the outcome cannot be determined within a few moves.
What's more, the opponent's methods are unknown. If he lets go, wouldn't it cause trouble for his sect? No matter which sect they are placed in, Foundation-building monks are the mainstay and must not be allowed to be killed indiscriminately by others.
Of course, this is excepted when one party's life is in danger. If it is done cleanly, no one will know.
