Beishan City, City Lord's Mansion.

The musicians played beautiful songs, and the dancers twisted their graceful bodies.

At the dust-cleaning banquet, there were a lot of toasts, Zeng Hou, who was the host, raised his wine glass and said with a loud smile, "This is the first glass, to my nephew Mi!"

Mi Zhao raised his glass with both hands, and replied: "Uncle Zeng, you are too polite."

"Hey, my uncle barely entered Foundation Establishment and it's over. It's not as good as my nephew. You have a bright future, and you can look forward to the ladder."

Zeng Houyan, who looked like a middle-aged man, shook his head with envy. His talent scale was only "four", if it weren't for his own sister who won the position of direct disciple and later took over the position of Yunfeng Peak Master , where is it possible to become an elder or a city lord now.

Under Zeng Ziran's cultivation regardless of the cost, he managed to reach the late stage of foundation establishment. At this juncture, seeing that his lifespan was about to expire, he still didn't dare to trigger the fire disaster.

Unlike the "Bone Biting" of the Wind Calamity, which can be resisted by perfect spiritual power, the "burning body" of the Fire Calamity, neither true energy nor spiritual consciousness, can counteract it, and it will even become the food that fuels the fire.Under the calamity of fire, only monks with a talent scale of "five" or above have a chance to survive. The better the aptitude, the easier it is to succeed.

How cruel the talent restriction of the Yuanming Great World is, it can be seen in the level of Fire Tribulation.Those who are not talented have basically no way forward.

Ordinary people are born with a lifespan of one hundred years, stepping into the Qi training realm increases one hundred years of life, and stepping into the foundation building realm increases one hundred years of lifespan.Zeng Hou is now more than 200 years old, not far from the end of his life, and he can't compare with his sister who can live for thousands of years.If it weren't for the fact that he ate too many rare treasures, he would have looked very old, how could he still be middle-aged.

There is such a gossip circulating in Yunjianmen that the reason why Zeng Ziran showed people the face of an old woman is to take into account the feelings of this younger brother. At least they seem to be "sisters and brothers", not "father and daughter" or even "father and daughter". grandparents".It can also be seen from this that Zeng Ziran really cares about Zeng Hou's younger brother, even the low-level disciples have heard of it.

When Mi Zhao heard Zeng Hou's words, he just smiled and didn't take the words.Although what Zeng Hou said was true, but the other party said that he was also his elder—more importantly, this elder had a background that he couldn't afford to offend. At this time, it was wrong to be self-effacing, and it was wrong to respond to this, so he could only deal with it with a smile.

He has a talent scale of "six" - it is indeed higher than Zeng Hou, and he is currently the only foundation-builder besides Shao Tianyang on Huoyun Peak.He is different from Shao Tianyang who is the disciple of the peak master, his master is just an elder who belongs to the "Fire Lotus" branch.

The relationship between the two branches of Huoyunfeng's "Fire Lotus" and "Qilian" is not as harmonious as the three branches of Shuiyun.From top to bottom, each of them is tit for tat, and they don't even bother to do superficial work.It can be said that among all the peaks of Yunjianmen, it is the most discordant branch.

All of this naturally has historical reasons.Huoyun Peak was originally established by Patriarch Liansheng, the second disciple of Patriarch Qingyun, and the orthodox inheritance is the "Three Turns of the Lotus Sutra" that is controversial in the eyes of Jianxiu.At that time, there was not even a shadow of "Heaven and Earth Cauldron Dafa"!

About 2 to [-] years ago, a geek appeared in Huoyun Peak. He intercepted one of the mysteries of the "Three Turns of the Lotus Sutra", combined with others, and created the "Dafa of the Heaven and Earth Cauldron", and thus became the master of the peak.Since then, Huoyunfeng has added a "Qi Lian", and has been crushing the "Fire Lotus" for many years. Ever since "Fire Lotus" lost the position of Peak Master, she has not been able to regain it from "Qi Lian" ever since.

Zeng Ziran didn't believe that her younger brother would sell out the benefits of her master's school, and she was even more worried about Zeng Hou's safety. Di Yunfeng was busy with everything, and she had no time to take care of him for the time being, so she had to ask her good friend from the same school for help.This time Mi Zhao took over the task with several younger brothers and sisters from Huoyunfeng, and it was also because his master received a letter from Zeng Ziran asking him to come over to help.

Therefore, the task of Mi Zhao and his group was only to assist, not to investigate.Zeng Hou obviously knew this too, so he smiled at them all over his face and set up a dust-cleaning banquet to welcome the wind.

"Hey, let's not talk about this, let's give a toast to my nephew, and I will have to trouble you later!"

"This is what we should do." Mi Zhao drank the fine wine in the cup, and then asked, "Uncle, we are new here and don't know anything about Beishan City, can you please tell us about it?"

The three disciples of Huoyun, who were immersed in eating and drinking as soon as they were seated, raised their heads to look at Zeng Hou when they heard what he said.

I saw Zeng Hou smiled and nodded and said: "It should be, it should be, there is no need to bother! Wang Li, come and tell my nephew and the others."

The "Wang Li" pointed out by Zeng Hou has been standing behind him and pouring wine for him. This person is a middle-aged man with pockmarked face, sallow complexion, prominent cheekbones, and his cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Qi training.

After that Wang Li bent down and saluted, he said: "The matter started a year ago. A year ago, the city lord and the city lord Lou of Minshan City made a deal, just like in the past, and the accident happened when the transaction was handed over successfully. back."

"The city lord was assassinated on the way back to the city. There were 12 people in the group of masked men in black, and two of them were in the early stage of foundation establishment. Thanks to this, the two foundation-building realms escaped. Later, I found out that Lou City Lord seemed to have been assassinated as well."

"The second assassination happened when the city lord wanted to send the goods to the sect. This time, there were only two foundation building periods, and they were captured alive. It's a pity that they committed suicide. I haven't been able to find out where they came from."

"The third assassination happened when the city lord was ready to set off to escort him again. This time, there were 12 more people, and one in the middle stage of foundation establishment, two in the early stage of foundation establishment, and a group of well-trained qi. Therefore, we had to delay the delivery of the goods again.”

"Three times later, the city lord sent a message to Elder Yu of Tuyun Peak—after all, this batch of goods originally belonged to Tuyun Peak, and informed Elder Yu of the attack, hoping that Elder Yu would open the teleportation array and use this method to Send it back, but unfortunately Tu Yunfeng has not responded yet."

"The teleportation array erected must be activated by both sides to successfully teleport. The teleportation array in Beishan City is only connected to Tuyun Peak, and there is no one on Diyun Peak. There is no response from Tuyun Peak, but the fourth assassination has come. The city lord I had no choice but to ask the sect for help. And before everyone came, I just finished the fifth assassination."

Seeing Wang Li stop, Mi Zhao immediately asked, "What is the cargo? After that, there were no survivors? How is the lord of Minshan City?"

Wang Li glanced at Zeng Hou first, and seeing him nodding slightly, Fang replied: "It is a kind of ore produced in Yaoshan. It is said that this kind of ore is very effective when used in formations. The one I will exchange is made by Tuyunfeng. As for the assassins, they all committed suicide after being captured, and I searched their bodies, but found nothing. And Minshan City is now closed, and I don’t know what happened to Lord Lou.”

Seeing Mi Zhao's pensive look, Zeng Hou smiled "hehe": "Nephew, it's useless to rush this matter, you should rest and rest tonight, I will ask my subordinates to sort out the relevant information for you, and we will come back tomorrow." Look!"

Mi Zhao nodded and said, "Master Uncle is right."

The last quarter moon bends and hangs in the sky.

Under the silver light, Beishan City was quiet.

Because the city lord had been assassinated several times, and the protective array was activated, the aura of people passing by would be recorded, and if they showed a gesture of action, they would be directly attacked.And the layers of protection of the City Lord's Mansion are enough to make low-level monks feel frightened when they see it, and the patrols around them have been strengthened a lot.

"Ha chirp!"

Not far from the city gate, Chen Shuang rubbed his nose, pouted and stared at the activated formation in front of him, his eyes rolling wildly.

Chen Shuang's stature is not high, only about 1.5 meters, which is also "petite and exquisite" in modern times.The round baby face with baby fat made her look even more tender. It was completely unexpected that she was actually one year older than Mo Tianluo.The only thing that can prove that she is not a little girl is probably the pair of proud roundness on her chest.

At this time, she was wearing a bamboo hat, and the dark gray tights perfectly outlined her alluring curves. The skirt was slightly opened, as if it couldn't cover the towering twin peaks, revealing a touch of eye-catching snow-white.

"The array has been changed, who did it?"

Chen Shuang is a well-known formation genius in Yunjianmen. She usually likes to throw talismans, but what she is best at is not talismans but formations.The city under the jurisdiction of Yunjianmen and the formation restrictions arranged by other residences all come from Tuyunfeng. As the most outstanding disciple of Tuyunfeng, she is very clear about those formations, and the formations in Beishan City have changed. , how could it be possible to hide it from her?

"Elder Yu?"

She ran all the way from Yunjianmen, but it was not a tourist. In fact, before the sect grand competition, she heard some things while traveling, and she had already made a search, but the grand contest was just around the corner, so she didn't implement it.

After the competition, I learned that there was indeed a problem with Beishan City, but Elder Yu, who had been in contact with Beishan City, said he didn't know about it.

Beishan City is not only doing business for Tuyunfeng, its most important part is indeed the ore trade between Tuyunfeng and Yaoshanzong. Hou's status was special and he couldn't get involved, but Tuyun's lineage was able to build a teleportation array connected to Tuyun Peak in Beishan City.

The person in charge of contacting Beishan City was Elder Yu. However, Zeng Hou was assassinated and reported, and almost all the senior officials of Yunjianmen knew about it, but this person said he did not know.What he said was that Beishan City had not contacted him in the past year, and there was no reply to his inquiry.

Xiao Zixing felt that there was something wrong with Elder Yu, and Chen Shuang felt that there was something wrong with Beishan City. The two masters and apprentices worked together. Beishan City to find out.

"But it doesn't bother me."

Chen Shuang, who had already figured out how to sneak in, quietly entered the city, but the formation did not record anyone entering the city.Identify the direction a little bit, and move forward quickly next to the shadow.

The first target of her trip was the outer disciple who reported on Zeng Hou!
