City Primordial Witch King

Chapter 524 Sudden retreat
After the hall master asked, he originally thought that someone would rush to do it, but indeed no one answered.

After a long time, his complexion became more and more ugly, and he was about to lose his temper.

At this time, the elder of the internal affairs stood up in a hurry, and rushed to say: "In the past, this kind of thing was left to Ding Yi..."

Regarding Ding Yi's situation, the hall master actually knew about it.This disciple was unlucky, and he started to enter the door just after his spiritual energy was completely exhausted. Although he was very talented, after entering the door, he quickly cultivated to the soul refining state.However, the law of heaven was unfair, no matter how hard he tried afterwards, he was still unable to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

For this reason, he seemed to have given up on practicing and focused on traveling around, completely deviating from the purpose and spirit of the sect of Changshengtang.

However, in view of his amazing talent, strength, and glory for the Changshengtang, the hall master also pardoned him to be free to do what he wanted to do.

It is precisely because of this that Ding Yi almost takes on many of the foreign affairs work of the Changsheng Hall, which is equivalent to the diplomatic staff of the Changsheng Hall in the Xiu Alliance. Many similar tasks are entrusted to him to complete.

The hall master lowered his head and looked around. He didn't find Ding Yi, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where has he gone?"

"Return to Hall Master..." The elder of the housekeeping stood up again, and after bowing respectfully, he continued: "Ding Yi went back to the mountain this morning, and immediately retreated."

"Retreat?" The hall master repeated in surprise, almost suspecting that his ears had misheard.

"Yes." The elder of internal affairs confirmed with a wry smile and nodded.

Although he couldn't believe it, Ding Yi's retreat was indeed true, and he went to confirm it himself, and the reason for Ding Yi's retreat was very absurd, which left him speechless for a long time.

"Didn't he give up cultivation as early as 50 years ago? Why did he suddenly retreat? Over the years, I haven't seen him practice even once. What's going on?" the hall master asked a series of questions. When he came out, he was also filled with questions.

"He said..." The internal affairs elder paused, as if he was thinking about how to express it more tactfully, and then continued: "He said that he wants to retreat and break through the golden core realm..."

"Huh?" Now, not only the hall master, but even the other elders on the side were taken aback. They all looked at the internal affairs elder with strange eyes, thinking that he was joking.

How could it be possible for a person who had given up cultivation 50 years ago and devoted himself to playing and making friends to suddenly retreat, and to break through the Golden Core Realm?
One must know that Ding Yi gave up cultivation this time because he was unable to break through the Golden Core Realm. Could it be that he had some kind of adventure?Or a sudden temperament change?
All kinds of guesses were circulating in the minds of the senior officials of Changshengtang, but they didn't say it out loud, they just rolled their eyes in private, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

The hall master was silent for a while, then suddenly waved his hand and said: "Since he has gone into seclusion, let another person investigate this matter!"

Ding Yi was willing to go back to the mountain to practice in seclusion, which was a good thing anyway, so the hall master didn't want to embarrass him, so he had to follow his wishes and let another person do the work.

"Yes." The house elder agreed simply.

At the same time, almost all the big and small cultivation sects on the land of Shenzhou, whether they are the Daming Sect in the south, the Elite League composed of loose cultivators hiding in the dark, or the Daishan Sect far away in the mountains in the north, almost all saw this path. Xingguang also knew that someone was about to be promoted to the Golden Core Realm.

But what is slightly different is that the faces of all the senior members of the Daishan faction are a bit strange, envious, regretful, and gloomy, maybe they all guessed something in their hearts.

The hanging stars in the night sky began to gradually dim, and the golden elixir in Lu Yuqing's body also took shape completely, condensing into a pure and flawless golden elixir.

At this time, she slowly opened her eyes, then stood up and let out a long and cheerful roar.

Hearing the long roar, the elders and disciples waiting in the square were all moved at the same time, and they were all envious. After a while, they all flocked to the small building by the central lake, ready to give Lu Yuqing a break for her breakthrough of the Golden Core Realm when Lu Yuqing came out. celebrate.

Tonight, Shujie Island is destined to be a carnival and sleepless night.

Wei Xiao, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know what happened on Shujie Island. Since he had been practicing in the room, he didn't see it even if there was a starlight.

What's more, he didn't know the meaning of the starlight hanging from the sky, even if he saw it, he would only regard it as a special starlight.

For Wei Xiao, the night passed peacefully.

The next morning, he started to go to school, eat as usual, and then came back to practice in the evening. Maybe he would chat with Brother Liang when he had time at noon.

Regarding the various herbal tea shops, he had long since given up the right to operate them, and handed over everything to Brother Liang. He only paid the dividends himself, and finally became a real hands-off shopkeeper.

During this period of time, Luo Mengqing seemed to want to make up for his apology for not being able to help in the Southwest Massacre, so he specially invited him to a meal, and the location was chosen near the school.

Wei Xiao naturally went to the appointment happily and had a good meal with her.

During the dinner, Luo Mengqing asked him what his plans were after graduating from university, to which Wei Xiao could only smile lightly and did not answer.

He is already a junior this year, and ordinary students may have already started to think about his job after graduation, but he is not in a hurry, anyway, there is a herbal tea shop, even if he doesn't work at all, he can still live in style.

What's more, Wei Xiao really didn't think about going to work.

Seeing that Wei Xiao didn't answer, Luo Mengqing also changed the topic tactfully, and talked about a matter that he was going to be busy recently, which was also a difficult case.

The murderer in this case behaved very strangely, and his methods were extremely cruel, even a little perverted.

It was not convenient for Luo Mengqing to tell the details, but when talking about the murderer, Wei Xiao could even clearly feel Luo Mengqing's fear and the slight tremor in her words.

"This case originally happened in the Northwest, but the local police force is not enough to solve the case, so I had to apply for assistance from the superiors. I happened to have experience in similar cases, and I was the criminal commissioner who was named and praised by the organization, so I was specially transferred there to help solve the case." Luo Mengqing said, feeling a little helpless.

In fact, when you think about it, a police officer from Southern Xinjiang Province was originally transferred to the unfamiliar Northwest to help solve the case. No one would like that kind of thing too much.

But this was an organizational task, and Luo Mengqing had no way of refusing it, so he had no choice but to accept it.

"Well, that means, you will get up and go to the northwest in a few days?" Wei Xiao asked calmly.

"Yes, we will leave tomorrow."

"Okay! I wish you a smooth journey and come back soon after solving the case." Wei smiled and blessed.
