Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

The rumors that spread throughout Xinzhengzhou for several days were suppressed by the two of them.

However, there has been no progress in handling the case, which still makes the two of them anxious and sad almost every day.

Now that Zhou Yiqiao agreed to accept the invitation, it was the only thing that made the two of them happy.

After all, Zhou Yiqiao has the identity of an elder of the Phoenix Pavilion. Although the two of them are a little suspicious, they still hope to get clues about the perpetrator from his mouth.

Chu Tianxing followed Zhou Yiqiao's order and led the two state officials through the huge Phoenix Academy to Zhou Yiqiao's residence in the back mountain.

At this moment, Zhou Yiqiao has been waiting in the main hall for a long time.

Zhang Tong and Zhang Tong are worthy of being the governors of a state. Even though they met Zhou Yiqiao for the first time, they became as familiar as old friends.

Zhou Yiqiao naturally talked about people and ghosts, and the three of them became enthusiastic as they came and went.

"Dean Zhou really has very good taste. Zhenling tea is mellow and soft in the mouth, and the lingering fragrance lingers in your throat!"

After Zhang Tong tasted it, he felt sincerely.

The calm man next to him also praised frequently. After the two looked at each other, they seemed to have a tacit understanding and spoke in unison.

"Dean Zhou, I'm Zhang Tong."

"I'm Yang Tao."

Zhou Yiqiao returned the favor and said with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Yang, I am devoted to cultivation, but I am just a layman, so I don't know anything about spiritual tea. I got these tea leaves from the storage bag of Master Xing'an."

As soon as Zhou Yiqiao said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.

Zhang Tong took another sip of tea and then explored.

"To be honest, Dean Zhou, Brother Yang and I came here today because of the extermination of the Shensi Sect. Dean Zhou is very powerful, what do you think of this matter?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao sighed softly and said slowly.

"To be honest, in order to fulfill the instructions issued by the Holy Emperor, when Master Na Xing'an contradicted me, I thought about killing Shensi Sect to scare the monkeys."

"But when I was still contacting the sect to request reinforcements from my fellow sects, I heard the bad news that the Shensi Sect was destroyed. I was really surprised."

"In any case, we both work for the Holy Emperor. If you two have any clues, you might as well give me a look. If you recognize it, you must know everything."

"Okay. Since Dean Zhou said so, I will speak out."

Zhang Tong nodded after hearing this and continued.

"The Shensi Sect seemed to have been massacred in a short period of time by a group of ghost cultivators or a powerful man with a ghost exorcism weapon. Dean Zhou is well-informed, does he have any clues?"

"Ghost cultivator?"

Zhou Yiqiao pretended to be surprised.

"Although my country of Chu does not prohibit evil cultivators, they usually behave with their tail between their legs. How could anyone be so blatant?"

Yang Tao on the side looked at Zhou Yiqiao's unfailing expression and smiled bitterly.

"Not only Dean Zhou, but the two of us are also very strange."

After finishing speaking, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, Zhou Yiqiao's expression condensed, and finally he looked like he was gritting his teeth. He took out the Netherworld Sect identity token he got from Nan Ningxue from his storage bag and handed it to Zhang Tong and the others.

"The Holy Emperor asked me, Phoenix Academy, to take back all the resources of the Gao family occupied by each family. I originally wanted to wait until this matter is over before handing this token to you two, so as not to alert the enemy."

"But today is different from the past. You two can be regarded as my colleagues. I will help you!"

This token of the Netherworld Sect, when Zhou Yiqiao was discussing strategies with Wu Ranchen, he asked Wu Ranchen to remove Nan Ningxue's consciousness. Now it is just a dead object, which can be used to make up for it and hide it from the outside world.

Zhang Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took the token, held it in his hand and checked it again and again. After confirming that it was correct, he said to Yang Tao.

"It's really a token passed down from Netherworld Sect's disciples, even to elders!"

"That being the case, it makes sense..."

Yang Tao nodded solemnly and said.

"New Zhengzhou was originally the land of the Zheng State. Our Chu State annexed it for less than ten years, and it was the time when the security was at its most intense."

"I was wondering that day, unless that person had the ability to hide things from the truth, how could he come to New Zhengzhou to commit murder during this period of time."

"If Master Xing'an is from the Netherworld Sect, that would make sense."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he felt funny in his heart and had a curious expression on his face.

"Brother Yang, why did you say this?"

"Our country of Chu is now at its peak, and the only one in Yanzhou that can compete with us is the Netherworld Sect, which occupies the four northern kingdoms."

"But the Netherworld Sect is located in a bitter cold and has few resources. Even if it is huge, it cannot compare with the heritage of our Chu country."

Yang Tao explained.

"But the current head of the Netherworld Sect seems to have a lot of connections with the Central Continent Holy Sect. Over the years, through the power of the Central Continent Holy Sect, he has planted many informants in our Chu Kingdom."

"It is said that every informant has practiced a secret method of the Central Continent Holy Sect. Once he dies, even if he is thousands of miles away, the Netherworld Sect can sense it."

"Over the years, after the informants who have penetrated into various forces are discovered, their forces will be wiped out overnight by the Netherworld Sect's informants lurking throughout the Chu Kingdom. The Holy Emperor is suffering terribly because of this."

Zhou Yiqiao seemed to understand what Yang Tao meant.

"Brother Yang, you mean to say that I accidentally uncovered an informant from the Netherworld Sect, which led to the destruction of the Shensi Sect?"

Zhang Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the Netherworld Sect identity token in his hand, and took over the conversation.

"Yes."

Nowadays, various rumors have not subsided for a long time. Even if this is not the real answer, the two of them will make it the final result!

"I see."

Zhou Yiqiao looked at Zhang Tong and the two of them, as if he understood their meaning, and nodded with a half-smile.

He put away his smile and stood up to see off the guests as if he didn't want to expose their lies.

"Now that you two have found the real murderer, I will leave you two soon."

"I also ask you two to handle the case as soon as possible and give our new Zhengzhou a bright future!"

Hearing this, he felt awe-inspiring and quickly bowed his hands in salute. Just as he was about to stand up and leave, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly spoke.

"If you two find out the truth, please open the Shensi Sect's territory as soon as possible. Our academy still has the task of recovering the Gao family's assets, and we need to go measure the land in one month."

"Oh?"

The two looked surprised, obviously not expecting Zhou Yiqiao to make such a request.

But immediately, Zhang Tong was the first to react and promised again and again.

"Dean Zhou is working for the Holy Emperor just like us, so it is natural to help each other."

"Don't worry, Dean Zhou. Within half a month, we will finish dealing with the ghost energy above Shensi Sect."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, then personally escorted the two of them to the academy door before returning to his residence.
