"Sister!"
Yan Su looked at the empty hall and turned around first, nodding solemnly towards Yan Xun.
"Damn it, I should have suspected it!"
Yan Xun frowned coldly and slapped her right hand heavily on the tea table.
"Crack!" A sound.
The tea table cracked in response and fell to the ground in all directions.
"Master noticed something was wrong with the City Lord's Mansion early on. He had a vague feeling that there was something unclean in Xiangyun City, but with his cultivation, he couldn't find anything wrong.
"And the city lord is even more strange. In the last sect grand competition, he returned to the sect in advance to help. This time he did not return to the sect, but monks from small sects kept disappearing into the city for no reason."
"So the master felt something was fishy and sent me to find out. I was careless!"
Yan Su listened to the end and understood that the little tricks the city lord secretly made attracted the attention of the leader. However, by that time, most of the things were completed.
"Sister, do you still remember the dying ghost locust tree in the house?"
Yan Su grabbed her sleeve and analyzed calmly.
"I know, you mean? In the past few months, monks have been disappearing for no reason in the city. It has something to do with this!"
After being reminded by Yan Su, Yan Xun suddenly remembered that this kind of incident of a small sect monk disappearing happened a long time ago, and it was during the sect competition, where fish and dragons mixed together, and fights and deaths often occurred.
They didn't pay too much attention at that time. After all, during every sect competition, there was always a crowd of people, and there were always people taking advantage of the crowds and chaos to kill.
Now that I think about it carefully, it’s really a bit unusual, and,,,,
Yan Xun reached this point and suddenly got stuck. These deaths did not happen randomly and coincidentally. They must have something in common. What is it?
"Inn!"
The two spoke in unison, and Yan Xun was the first to laugh out loud.
"As expected of my sister, I want to go together."
Yan Su felt a little sour when she heard Yan Xun's generous praise. Complex emotions suddenly came to her heart, and she wanted to cry.
Maybe it's because things that were out of reach in the last life until death are so easy in this life.
Yan Su looked at Yan Xun, his eyebrows curved, and he smiled obediently.
Fortunately, I live again.
"Let's go back to the sect and check it out."
Yan Xun stepped forward and held Yan Su's hand, planning to fly back to the clan with his sword to check the inn where these people had stayed.
"Wait a minute, I know which inn it is."
Yan Su made a sound to stop her from summoning the magic sword. Yan Xun paused for a moment, then quickly took a few steps back, stood behind Yan Su, and tilted his head to signal her to lead the way.
Yan Su walked in front with Bai Hu in his arms, and Yan Xun followed behind him with his sword in his arms. The two of them walked to the street, attracting the attention of many people.
"Huh? Isn't that Yan Xun, the genius of Tianmu Sect? Why are you here?"
"Is the child in front of her her sister? Has she found her sister?"
"When you said that, I noticed that child. He is indeed as good-looking as her!"
"You kid! You are so superficial. Who told you to pay attention to other people's looks?"
Everyone was talking in low voices. Although they tried their best to keep their voices down, what they said was clearly heard by Yan and Su.
Yan Su didn't know what Yan Xun was thinking. She tilted her head cautiously and glanced at Yan Xun secretly. Just in time, Yan Xun turned around and seemed to notice Yan Su's careful gaze. Yan Xun raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. .
Yan Su was caught peeking, and quickly turned around, his face turned red and his ears were burning.
Yan Su quickened his steps and left the market as if fleeing. Yan Xun also saw Yan Su's embarrassment. It seemed that he was not good at listening to compliments from others and had a low face.
After leaving the market, we walked a few more steps and turned a few corners before arriving at the inn where Yan Su had stayed before.
However, the scene in front of him was not what Yan Su thought.
This is an overcrowded inn, with people coming and going, and it is very lively.
The gold-lettered signboard is hung on it, which is very grand. The eaves are flying into the sky and the carved beams and painted buildings are extremely luxurious.
Is this still the deserted inn where she stayed?
Yan Su grabbed Yan Xun's figure who was about to enter and shook his head at her.
Yan Xun was also a little confused about this. She couldn't figure out what the other party's mentality was like killing people in such a bustling place with close interactions between people. Not to mention this, there were not only Foundation-Building monks there, but even Golden elixirs. period monk.
If you want to kill them silently, one of them is a high-level monk. Nascent Soul cannot do it. Although Transformation God can kill them all, it is impossible to kill them silently.
The other is to use other means to directly eliminate this possibility. This is not a low-level monk in the Qi training stage or the foundation building stage. It is still difficult for them to discover it, but it is impossible not to discover it in the golden elixir stage.
In summary, these two possibilities can be completely ruled out.
So Yan Xun thought of a possibility that the golden cicada could escape from its shell.
The real "inn" was either destroyed or moved.
It is impossible to destroy it. After all, Xiangyun City is full of people from the Tianmu Sect, so it is impossible not to notice anything strange.
If this is the case, it has always been like this before. Yan Su and the disappeared monks may have been on the road since they entered Xiangyun City.
Thinking of this, Yan Xun's face became serious. It seemed that these people had been eyeing Yan Su from a long time ago.
"Asu! Did you encounter anything when you entered the city? Or who was it?"
thing?
Does being cheated out of four spiritual stones count?
Yan Su didn't dare to say this, as for... people?
Shi Jiu?
Thinking of the child who stammered and blushed frequently, Yan Su was not sure if there was something wrong with him.
However, she met two people in total when she entered the city, and one of them was dead.
Yan Xun must have seen some clues before asking her like this. Maybe the starting point is her. Thinking of this, Yan Su nodded.
"Yes, it's a guide boy who's a little older than me, Shi Jiu."
"Guiding boy?"
Yan Xun lowered her eyebrows and muttered, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, already having an idea in her mind.
"Let's go! Follow me."
Yan Xun grabbed Yan Su's hand and started running. Yan Su ran with her, passing through various streets, and soon arrived at a place.
Yan Su looked around. The people around him were all mortals without spiritual cultivation. Moreover, their clothes were all ordinary, but some of them were covered with patches.
Looking at the building in front of me, it seems to be a bit old. The three words "House Hall" are written simply and directly on the plaque. You can tell at a glance what is being done here.
"go in!"
Yan Xun said in a cold voice, returning to his cold and aloof appearance.
"Um."
After saying that, he raised his feet and followed Yan Xun into the hall.
As soon as Yan Xun entered the hall, everyone in the hall looked at each other. They were all stunned for a while, and even forgot to do what they were doing. It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses and take a deep breath.
The person in charge of the reception hall also reacted and hurriedly ran to greet her.
"I, Wang You, pay my respects to the immortal master!"
Wang You was about to kneel down as he spoke, but a pair of cold hands grabbed his arms.
He hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw Yan Xun's astonishing appearance, he forgot to breathe for a moment. It was only when Yan Xun made a sound that he came back to his senses.
"No need to be polite, I'll find someone."
"Shi Jiu, the guide boy is from you, right? Where is he now?"
"Uh... Immortal Master! I have all the named guides in the book, and I remember them all! But this Shi Jiu you are talking about... he is not from here."
Wang You bowed carefully, fearing that Yan Xun wouldn't believe it, so he quickly brought the list of guides for her to look through.
