Just as there are many sects in the world of comprehension in Nanzhan Buzhou, but they all respect the "Xuantianzong" in the north as the leader, the Fenghua Empire occupying Nanzhan Buzhou in this world is also surrounded by Dongfang, Ximen, Nangong, and Beiluo. Controlled by the four great families.

The origin and development of these aristocratic families has not been short-lived, and even some low-level exercises in the cultivation world have been passed down to the masters of the aristocratic families due to various reasons and coincidences, and they are regarded as the treasures of the family.

Therefore, in the real world, there are occasional loose cultivators, but they are all half-way monks of Wild Fox Zen, and there is no famous teacher to guide them. Unless they are extremely talented and gifted with supernatural powers, it is difficult to improve.

It is said that Lei Ze City is located in the west of Nanzhan Buzhou, and the family it actually controls is naturally the Ximen family.

The owner of the city, Ximen Xiong, has been quite angry recently, his gums are swollen and high, and he can't even eat. Even the most beloved concubine is so irritable that he hasn't touched him for a week.

As for the reason, it was because more than a dozen horrific murders had occurred in the city recently.

If it was an ordinary murder case, it would be fine, but this time the murder case revealed strangeness everywhere, and it was extremely difficult to detect.

These victims often died extremely tragically, their abdomens were brutally cut open, and all internal organs were missing, but no useful clues could be found at the scene.

This morning, Ximen Xiong barely drank a bowl of rice porridge when his subordinate came to report that another murder case happened last night.

"The deceased was 42 years old. He was an unemployed bachelor with no criminal record. He had a simple social relationship and no enemies. His death was still extremely tragic. His abdomen was cut open, and all internal organs and eyes were lost. The preliminary determination was that the time of death was at [-] o'clock the night before. about."

Ximenxiong looked at the material records provided by his subordinates, and before he had time to get a headache, he was urgently summoned by the Council of Elders.

In the face of the elders' inquiries about the case, Ximen Xiong hesitated and couldn't explain why.

So he was soon surrounded by more than a dozen old men and scolded him bloody.

"This series of murders has already caused panic in Lei Ze City, but you, an incompetent idiot, don't even have any clues! If you, a pig, still can't find the real culprit within three days, then you should resign and leave. , go back to your hometown and sell sweet potatoes!"

Ximenxiong can only be obedient to the high-ranking members of the Elders' Council.

But in the face of his subordinates, Ximenxiong struck hard.

And cleverly adopted the pressure transfer method, scolded the chief of the police department who handled the case bloody, and set a deadline of two days to solve the case, otherwise he would resign and leave.

Although angrily scolding his subordinates is indeed very satisfying, but in fact, Ximen Xiong secretly contacted his superiors for help, and the other party also dispatched Ximen Family's elite spies to investigate the case.

As a result, it has been more than half a month, and not only has the progress of the investigation been extremely slow.

What's more, Cha Wubu was defeated, and he was at a disadvantage in several confrontations with the real culprit behind the scenes.

This made Ximen Xiong feel embarrassing with a fever on his old face, and lost all his face.

In order to keep the throne of the city lord, which was obtained by giving almost all his financial resources and bribes, Ximenxiong quickly intensified his investigation, and he personally led a team to carry out several city-wide raids.

The best result of the battle was nothing more than seeing a figure in the distance, and then decisively threw the saber by himself—unfortunately, because Ximen Xiong had been addicted to drinking and sex for a long time, the result of throwing the sword was naturally for nothing, not only did not hurt the murderer Instead, he lost the handle of his priceless famous sword.

Putting such a big oolong in front of his subordinates made Ximenxiong feel ashamed again that he had just picked it up not long ago. He got angry several times in the meeting and turned over the table several times, but it was useless. Instead, he accidentally hit the back of his foot. , was forced to stay in bed for a week.

Originally, the murderer could not be traced, Ximenxiong hoped to wait for a while, and left when the murderer was tired of killing or satisfied, and then the crowd would forget about this incident. He did not expect to be held accountable by the elders today.

The Council of Elders has the right to directly dismiss him as the city lord. In this extraordinary period, although Ximen Xiong ran around to give gifts and guarantees to the elders who supported him, it was useless. If he couldn't catch the murderer, he had to leave.

In desperation, Ximenxiong issued a city-wide arrest warrant: Anyone who captures the murderer alive will be rewarded with 50 Lingshi!Those who kill the murderer will be rewarded with 40 spirit stones!Even if you only provide the trace of the murderer, you can get a thousand spirit stones after it is verified.

Judging from the strength of this reward, Ximen Xiong has indeed lost his mind and lost his mind.

When the reward order was first issued, it can be said that Lei Ze City was a sensation, and all kinds of "experts" wanted to earn this sky-high bounty.

It's a pity that after more than 20 people died in a row, no one dared to covet this money anymore.

The reward has always been directly proportional to the risk. No matter how attractive the bounty is, no one dares to do it if there is no real ability to give away the head.

…………

Of course, Li Wangsheng was unaware of these things at the moment.

He had already collected the flying sword in a barren mountain near Lei Ze City, took off his towel, walked to the auction house of Lei Ze City, and asked the guards about consignment and sale of pills.

Seeing that the person who came was a dark-faced young man in tattered Taoist robes—Li Wangsheng had made some disguises when he entered the city—the guard waved his hands impatiently and cursed: "Stop entertaining me! You are the only one who deserves to have pills." Do you know what elixir is? It is a fetish that contains the purest chaotic yin and yang energy that only a noble alchemist can refine from fairy herbs. Hurry up, hurry up! Don't bother me!"

In fact, Li Wangsheng was not angry when he heard the guard's words, but was secretly proud of his praise of the alchemist.

He knew that those who were able to come to the auction house in this world were all prominent people who were either rich or expensive. It was really hard for people to believe that he was going to sell pills in consignment in his current attire.

But if Li Wangsheng took out the porcelain bottle containing the medicine, the guard didn't have any understanding of pharmacology, and couldn't feel the fluctuation of the medicine inside, so he could only open the porcelain bottle.

If he did this, the whole street would be filled with the fragrance of medicine, and his identity would certainly attract suspicion. This was not in line with Chu Wangcai's original intention of anonymously and low-key consignment of pills.
