Chapter 164: The mysterious disappearance case, the storm is gathering (please subscribe~)
Winter is approaching.
The autumn wind is bleak and the temperature drops sharply.
Crystal white snowflakes fell, and a light layer of snow accumulated on the eaves.
"What... case closed?!" Bai Xiuying said in shock.
"However, the real culprit of the murder in the outer city is still at large. We only caught a dozen demon cultivators..." "
In this case, why should we close the case?!"
Bai Xiuying raised her sword eyebrows and tightened her fist. fist.
Sikong Xin stood by the glazed window, wearing a gray and white Taoist robe, looking casual and elegant.
He looked out the window at the falling snow, holding a steaming cup of spiritual tea.
Hearing this, Sikong Xin turned around and sighed.
"Junior Sister Bai, you also know..."
"There are no clues in these hundreds of murders, and even the Nine Instruments Soul Testing Talisman has found nothing..." "
The murderer who committed the crime... his strength is probably at the crystallized level! "
Probably like 'Master Jiuyuan', an evil master from the outer sea..."
Sikong Xin shook his head, with fear in his eyes.
"The current situation in the sea area... It is better for such evil masters to be as tolerant as possible and not to have conflicts..."
When mentioning the situation in the sea area, Bai Xiuying's eyes darkened slightly and her expression was gloomy.
Today's Weiyuan Immortal City seems to be majestic and has a vague tendency to compete with Qingxuan Sect.
However, there are hardships in the fairy city.
After all, Qingxuanzong has controlled the sea area for hundreds of years. How profound is his influence? !
especially.
After the death of Zhaoxia Zhenren, Qingxuanzong felt deeply the pain, and the internal conflicts gradually subsided.
As a result, he was able to free up his hands and use many means to suppress Weiyuan Immortal City!
During these seemingly peaceful and calm years, undercurrents surged, and the Fairy City suffered several painful losses!
Even the 'big auction' that takes place once every ten years has to be postponed until now...
And then, Sikong Xin said again.
"Besides, this murderer also knows how to behave appropriately."
"During this period, there are no more murders in the outer city..."
"Most of this person has already left Weiyuan Immortal City... In such a situation, again There is no point in pursuing it further."
"For the dozen or so demon cultivators captured, choose an auspicious day and show their heads to the public...give an explanation to the casual cultivators in the outer city." "Let
this matter be closed like this." Sikong Xin He said calmly.
"Well..."
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Xiuying still chose and obeyed the instructions.
"Yes..." She nodded.
Sikong Xin smiled with satisfaction and continued.
"Next, our focus is still on the big auction..."
Speaking of the big auction, Sikong Xin's expression became much more solemn.
As a trading center, a large auction gathers rare treasures from the sea.
It has always been an effective means for Weiyuan Immortal City to increase its influence.
And this big auction, as the first big auction held after the feud with Qingxuanzong, is even more significant!
"This time, we plan to sell a crystallized spiritual object in the big auction..." "
In this way, we will increase our influence and win over the foundation-building families in the sea who are dissatisfied with Qingxuan Sect... to win allies for the fairy city. ..."
Sikong Xin explained the matter, and Bai Xiuying listened carefully.
After a while, Bai Xiuying bowed and left.
She walked in the corridor, staring at the falling snow outside the window, her crystal eyes twinkling.
Looking at the snowy scene outside the window, she felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart.
"I feel like this again...uneasy..."
Bai Xiuying frowned and covered her chest.
She seemed to be able to feel her heart beating faster.
Somehow, she thought of the murder victim in the outer city who died in a tragic manner.
"The murderer... really has to leave the fairy city?"
Bai Xiuying frowned and asked herself.
"What Senior Brother Sikong said should be true..."
"Besides, it is true that there will be no more murders..."
"That's all... let's go back to practice. During this period, I always feel that practice has become much easier. The bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building , It's also a little loose..."
Bai Xiuying thought and murmured to herself.
And just then.
The corners of her eyes suddenly moved.
Bai Xiuying caught a glimpse of a pale figure standing on the eaves not far away!
And when she turned her eyes to look there, there was no trace.
"Huh?"
Surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.
…
homicides no longer happen.
In recent days, the panic among people in the outer city has eased slightly.
The upcoming grand auction has attracted many casual cultivators and family cultivators to Weiyuan Immortal City.
In this time of winter snow, it once again adds a lively atmosphere to the prosperity of this city.
However...
only a few people noticed.
Even though murders no longer occur, there are more and more 'disappearances' in the outer city!
It seems that it is increasing rapidly at an abnormal speed?
However, this caused little panic.
After all, according to the monk's style, it is normal to visit Weiyuan Immortal City and use a false identity.
Those veteran robbery cultivators who were stained with blood and came to Fairy City to sell stolen goods.
They are all cautious and experienced!
Which one doesn't have four or five faces, seven or eight identities, and runs more than a dozen shops?
Really good old fried dough sticks!
Even if you are a casual cultivator, you can sell resources and buy spiritual items normally.
In order to avoid being targeted by the robbery cultivator, it is normal to change several identities to cover up.
This time over and over again.
Often one monk can create several missing persons...
not to mention the endless cases caused by the battles, robberies and murders between the monks...
It is precisely because he knows the 'customs and habits' among the monks very well. .
Weiyuan Immortal City pays very little attention to missing persons cases.
What's more, a big auction is approaching.
Under this situation, a large number of monks poured into Weiyuan Immortal City, and many false identities disappeared and reappeared.
The increase in disappearances has not caused any waves.
...
a few days later.
Bai Xiuying sat cross-legged in the cave, opened her eyes, her face darkened.
She always felt as if there was something hiding in the dark, staring at her with cold and vicious eyes!
This feeling of being spied on made her quite unhappy.
"Huh..."
She stood up, controlled the escape light, flew out of the cave, and flew aimlessly within the Weiyuan Immortal City.
When she came back to her senses, she saw a mansion with a tall stone door below.
Bai Xiuying's consciousness swept away.
The word 'Zhongfu' comes to mind.
"Zhongfu..."
Her heart moved slightly and she lowered her escape light.
…
Zi.
A black boot with gold thread stepped on the snow.
"Is this...the Zhong Mansion?"
The handsome young man in black robe raised his head and glanced at the old plaque.
"Yes, Senior Su, this is right here..."
Zhou Liangcai shrank his neck, half a step behind Su Ye, and nodded.
He was about to step forward and knock on the door for Su Ye, but was stopped by the latter.
Su Ye moved his hand slightly, and magic power emerged.
Crunch.
The door, which had been covered in dust for a long time, slowly opened.
A cold breath emerged from the house and hit his face.
Su Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, summoned the Frost Thorn Spear, and stepped in.
