Please give me a chance to be a straight man

The moment Shen Xu and Ye Chen heard the voice, they flew over, but they were still one step too late. Apart from a crying child, there was only a white bone smoking black smoke.

Seeing this, Ye Chen thumped his thigh fiercely, "Damn it!"

Shen Xu was still awake, he was about to check the corpse, when he suddenly saw a wisp of pale pink smoke floating out of the corpse, and flew towards Ye Chen in an instant, Shen Xu quickly drew his sword and slashed at the wisp of smoke .

Seeing this, the wisp of smoke hurriedly fled to the distance. Before Ye Chen realized what was going on, he saw that Shen Xu had already stepped on the flying sword and instantly turned into a phantom.

The wisp of smoke was so fast that even though Shen Xu was now a Jindan cultivator, he could barely avoid being thrown away. While chasing him, he was thinking quickly, not noticing that he had already entered the territory of Luoyunzong.

Seeing that the smog was about to disappear into a dense forest, Shen Xu hurriedly mobilized his whole body's spiritual energy to chase after him, but he didn't expect that at this moment, a fierce golden sword glow came from the front, Shen Xu hurriedly dodged and waited to return. Surprisingly, the wisp of smoke had already disappeared without a trace.

Shen Xu had no choice but to return to the inn.

Seeing Shen Xu coming back, Ye Chen was about to ask him where he had gone, when Shen Xu suddenly said to him and Jiang Xun, "The Luoyun Sect is probably a spy of a demon cultivator."

Ye Chen opened his eyes wide in shock, "What did you say?!"

Then Shen Xu told Jiang Xun and Ye Chen what happened to him just now, and Ye Chen was even more surprised when he heard this, "You said someone in Luoyun Sect attacked you?"

Shen Xu nodded, "And the cultivation base is not low."

"Then what should we do now? Should we notify Sovereign An and let him investigate?"

"Now it's time to scare the snake, that demon cultivator will definitely erase any clues that may suspect him, so it's useless to investigate again. Besides, how can you be sure that Sect Master An is not the demon cultivator's eyeliner?"

Ye Chen looked at Shen Xu and asked, "Should we just do nothing and wait for the people to die tragically one by one?"

"Then what are your plans?" Ye Chen suddenly stopped talking.

Shen Xu poured him a cup of tea, and said in a rare warm voice, "I know you are very anxious now, but no matter how anxious you are, you can't lose your mind. The people of Yongle City are still counting on you to save them."

Ye Chen calmed down after taking a sip of tea, so he said, "But now we have no other clues except that Moxiu is in Luoyunzong."

"Who said no?"

Ye Chen looked at Shen Xu suspiciously, and Shen Xu explained, "We came to Yongle City to investigate the case. Everyone in the Luoyun Sect should know about it, so that demon cultivator must also know about it. It shouldn't be accidental that he attacked me today. But he clearly knew we were here, but he didn't want to escape, which means that he might have other goals that he hasn't achieved, so he can't leave for the time being. And what we have to do now is not to get confused and wait and see what happens."

Shen Xu and the others decided to visit the sacred tree in the middle of the night according to the original plan. Although they didn't expect to find anything, they didn't expect to see the soaring flames dyed the sky red when they arrived not far from the Earth Temple.Many people rushed to fight the fire with buckets, and the scene was chaotic.

Seeing this, Ye Chen planned to go over to help, but suddenly a messenger talisman flew over from a distance.Jiang Xun Zhanxin saw that it was sent by An Zongzhu. The letter stated that An Luoer was captured by the demon cultivator and his whereabouts are unknown. He also asked Jiang Xun and others for help.

Shen Xu and the others immediately rushed to Luoyunzong without any hesitation.

As soon as Sect Master An saw Jiang Xun, he rushed forward immediately, and said with snot and tears why An Luoer fell in love with him, and he must save An Luoer and the like.

Although Jiang Xun tried his best to maintain his demeanor and expression, Shen Xu could tell that he was on the verge of a seizure.Seeing this, Shen Xu quickly dragged Sect Master An over to ask about An Luoer's disappearance.

Sect Master An wiped away his tears, and began to tell the story, saying that after An Luoer went to find Jiang Xun and the others during the day, he went out again not long after.Sect Master An originally thought that An Luo'er had some private matters to attend to, so he didn't ask too much. He didn't expect that it was late at night, and not only did he not come back, he didn't even hear about it.So Sect Master An ordered to find someone, and finally found An Luoer's natal soul jade near the Fufeng Gate.

"Luoer's soul jade never leaves her body. There must have been a fierce conflict with the demon cultivator at that time, otherwise the soul jade would not have fallen." Sect Master An paused for a moment, then took out a soul jade from his bosom, The light on it was already as weak as a firefly, and this meant that the vitality of the owner of the soul jade might be about to fade away.

"Besides, Luoer's life is in danger now, Nephew Jiang, I beg you, for the sake of friendship, please save her!"

Seeing that Sect Master An was about to kneel down, Ye Chen quickly supported him, and at the same time comforted him, "Don't worry, senior, we will do our best to rescue Junior Sister An."

Ye Chen promised firmly, and Sect Master An nodded gratefully at him.

Upon seeing this, Shen Xu asked, "Sect Master An, can you please take us to the place where the soul jade was found?"

Sect Master An nodded, and quickly found the disciple who had discovered the soul jade, and said to him, "Hurry up and take a few nephews over there to have a look, and notify me immediately if you find any clues."

"It's the sovereign."

So Shen Xu and the others immediately rushed to Fufeng Gate.

The disciples of Luoyun Sect led Shen Xu and the others into a dense forest not far from Fufeng Gate. Perhaps because of the cold night, mist gradually rose around here.

Shen Xu and the others followed the disciple who led the way and gradually went deeper into the dense forest. At the same time, the surrounding fog became thicker and thicker. Shen Xu gradually found that Jiang Xun and the others were no longer around.

Seeing this, Shen Xu quickly mobilized his spiritual power to try to find Jiang Xun's location, but he didn't expect that the fog in the dense forest could block the spiritual power's exploration.Only then did Shen Xu realize that the disciple leading the way should be Moxiu's accomplice.

In desperation, he had to find a way out by himself.But after a long time, Shen Xu found that he was still spinning in circles.Just when he was worried about finding the exit to leave the dense forest, a figure in red suddenly appeared behind him.

Subconsciously, Shen Xu turned around and drew his sword to slash at the figure, but he didn't expect that the figure was so fast that he dodged his attack in a flash.

Seeing this, Shen Xu's expression darkened, and he was about to strike his sword again, when at this moment, his corpse poison flared up again.Shen Xu immediately knelt down on the ground, and the figure in red looked at the black curse marks all over his body and said in surprise, "I didn't expect someone to be poisoned by the corpse for so long and still not die. It seems that Jiang Xun should have been eaten by you." Quite a few panaceas."

Shen Xu looked at the person in front of him with a pale face, and said with difficulty, "An Luoer, what is your purpose?"

The corners of An Luoer's lips raised slightly, she played with her hair with her index finger, and smiled at Shen Xu, "I just want to ask you something, but in order to prevent Jiang Xun and the others from coming over, let's talk in another place."

After An Luoer finished speaking, she flicked her fingertips, and a silver light suddenly flew over. Shen Xu's dantian felt a sharp pain, and he fainted immediately.
