In the secret passage, the patrol leader who was walking at the front heard the movement below: "There is someone below, be alert!"

Everyone took up arms.

After all, people died outside, and the thieves may still be inside.

The strange thing is why you set a fire in the yard? Are you worried that they won't find it?

After seeing the people coming up from below, the patrol leader made a pause gesture to the soldiers behind him, but did not ask them to put away their weapons.

Compared to soldiers, the patrol leader has dealt with many similar things and has rich experience. He knows that in the world of cultivation, appearance is the most untrustworthy part.

Whether it is an old man, a child, or a woman, they may all become the king of hell who threatens their lives.

"Who are you? State your name."

The secret passage was not spacious and was completely blocked by the crowd of female nuns. They just looked at the members of the patrol quietly without speaking, which made people panic.

"We are the Luotian City patrol team. If you don't speak up, we will take action!" the patrol leader said.

Hearing his words, the female nuns seemed to have remembered something, and there was a rush of people. Finally, an older female nun who was so thin that only her bones were left came forward: "What are you patrol... doing early?"

went?"

After hearing what happened to these female nuns, the captain of the patrol team felt his scalp numb. Only the words "ridiculous", "daring" and "worse than animals" were left in his mind.

These people have a clear division of labor. Some people use the breath gathering technique to pretend to be children living near Luotian City and act as guides at the gate of the city. They specifically select single female cultivators who come to Luotian City for the first time to attack.

Someone is responsible for responding. If someone discovers it, he will create chaos and let the person who did it escape.

However, the appearance of the children was too deceptive, and their breath-holding techniques were extremely sophisticated, and there was no sign of any cultivation at all, so no one was suspicious before they were caught.

The pawn shop outside is their stronghold. Once people are tricked into coming here, they can't escape.

And because they all came alone and were brought here before they even settled in the city, no one knew that they were missing in the city, and it was impossible for anyone to report the case.

"They are hiding too deeply, but don't worry, if the city lord knows about this, he will definitely give you an explanation. We will thoroughly investigate the whole city and catch this group of people."

"Are you telling the truth?"

In the crowd, a little girl standing in the corner suddenly asked.

"Of course it's true!" the patrol leader puffed up his chest, "The city lord loves his people like his own children and will never allow this kind of thing to happen in his town! Perhaps you have also heard that the city lord and the Five Elements Sect's Shuifeng Peak Master are

We are in-laws, even if the enemy is something that the city lord cannot deal with, the Five Elements Sect will help."

"I have listened to their conversation, and it may be of some help to you in finding them."

"Just say it."

After the patrol leader finished speaking, after waiting for a while, the little girl stopped talking.

He waited for a while, saw the little girl's eyes, and then suddenly realized: "You guys, take them out first, find a place for them to stay, and then ask the pharmacist to come and take a look at them."

After everyone had left, he looked at the little girl again: "Can you tell me now? What you know."

"They are looking for something here, but they have never had the chance to get close. If my guess is correct, it should be related to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Something?" The patrol leader's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly, "What is it?"

"It seems like a key."

Hearing this, the patrol leader breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it was something lost by the city lord, but what the city lord lost was a treasure, not a key.

Unexpectedly, the girl continued: "Today, they seem to have succeeded."

"Today? Are you sure it's today?"

"I guess so? It's dark here, and I don't know how much time has passed. It shouldn't be more than five hours. If a day has passed outside, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"No, it's not even time yet. Please tell me carefully."

"Today the child came back and said that the mission was completed, and he was going to leave after his injuries were healed, and then they died."

"Dead? Who killed him?"

"A man in black, a man in black shrouded in black mist, almost met each other, and they were both dead. He seemed to be looking for something, and the key may have been taken away by him."

"Where's the body? Take me to see it."

The man in black was shrouded in black mist, and the little girl couldn't see his appearance clearly, but if they saw the body, they might be able to judge the other person's footsteps from the marks left on the body.

"Gone."

"Gone? Why is it missing?"

"It just disappeared." The little girl pursed her lips, not wanting to continue talking, and quickly said the last information, "The person pretending to be a child has a whole black cloud tattoo on his back, maybe it is similar to theirs.

It’s about identity, I don’t know anything else.”

The patrol leader was very speechless, but he walked around the secret room without belief. Except for a few piles of toner and a few storage bags, nothing was left. There was not even a trace of a fight. It was completely consistent with the little girl's appearance.

describe.

During the day, the child was able to escape from the hands of the golden elixir stage monks, which shows that his cultivation level is almost within this range.

If he can be killed by just meeting him, then the person who does it must have a cultivation level far beyond his, at the Nascent Soul stage, the distraction stage, or even the combined stage.

This matter was too big for him to handle. He had to go back and report the matter to the city lord.

At least he had to figure out one thing. Is the key in the little girl's mouth the treasure that the city lord lost?

After taking the little girl out of the secret room, the patrol leader said to the only six soldiers left around him: "You guys are staying here. Don't let anyone in. Don't touch the body or the secret room."

"yes!"

The little girl served as a witness and was quickly taken to the city lord's mansion by the patrol captain.

Luo Zhen had been alarmed when the patrol leader first sent someone back to report the news. Thieves stole things from the Zhuzhu Mansion during the day, and at night there was a place for water leakage, and people were killed. How could it be such a coincidence?

thing?

When he heard what happened under the leaky shop reported by the soldiers who came back later, he was not even in the mood to meditate. Sure enough, he got the relevant news not long after.

Luo Zhen simply asked the little girl a few questions and then made a decision: "Contact the Five Elements Sect and tell them that they have found clues to the token and ask them to send a monk who has mastered the method of retrospection at the integration stage or above to help.

"

More than three hours have passed since the incident. It is necessary to use the method of backtracking to know what exactly happened there and whose hands the token fell into.
