Seeking ancient teachings.

The interrogation at the Intelligence Hall is over.

"Drag them all out and kill them!"

Li Yuanjie didn't even take a second look at these craftsmen, and directly decided their life and death.

"No, sir, we are just following orders, we don't know anything..."

The disciples of the Intelligence Hall also act under orders, and they do whatever their superiors tell them to do.

This time, another secret stronghold of the Swallowing Star Gate was discovered, located in the territory of Western Lu, but not in the Lujiang River Basin.

Li Yuanjie asked the leader whether to pursue cross-border tracking.

"Just take someone to arrest you. I'll see which local snakes dare to stop you!"

Luxi has been suppressed miserably by the Lujiang League in recent years. There are many people who are unhappy, and there are even small groups secretly fighting against it.

However, despite the trouble, no one dared to target it.

If we really want to find something, the Lujiang League will have a reason to bring people to the door the next day. This is no joke.

Li Yuanjie took the order and left.

Lin Shan walked out of the information hall. He still didn't know much about the reason why Swallowing Star Gate investigated him, but he could vaguely guess a thing or two.

"The celestial bodies in the sky must be of great use in Zhenjun Yuxing's cave!"

"However, it is a pity that I am not a real Zhoutian celestial body. I have only been transformed by the star power collected by the Lingbao Virtual Star Disk for a long time..."

"If arresting people and interrogating them doesn't yield any information, it seems that we can only go to the Star Swallowing Gate as soon as possible."

...

In Qianshan Square, a public execution was taking place at this time.

The organizer is none other than the Black Skull Demon Lord sitting at the top!

This skeleton monster is majestic, deep and terrifying, with ten large flags arranged in a fan shape behind it, like a peacock spreading its tail.

The deacons and disciples at all levels below stood separately and quietly watched the performance in the center.

"Ahhhh~ let me go, do you know who I am? My father-in-law is a professor from Shangyang Academy. If he finds out, he will definitely come to save me!"

"Seniors of the Xun Gu Sect, please don't be impulsive. My wife's family has considerable wealth in business. You can raise as much ransom as you want!"

"Cowards! Cowards! It makes me sick to see you groveling! A man who takes life and death lightly will do whatever he wants!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuu, you officials are so cruel, and the slave family's life is so hard..."

...

These people are all prisoners.

To be precise, he was a relative of the merchant who was defeated in the Happy Forest and was captured and executed by the Xun Gu Sect.

The one who yelled the loudest was the son-in-law of Shang Geng, the professor of Shang Yang Academy. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, he simply went crazy and vented his anger.

The one who was crying was none other than Yu Jiao Niang, the traitor of the Xun Gu Sect and the concubine of the former Elder Hei Ku.

At that time, this woman was infamous and was hunted by many forces. After escaping to the Xun Gu Sect, she was accepted and blocked all troubles for her.

It turned out that she was lucky. She spent some time as a vase and then sneaked away without making a sound.

He even joined a rival businessman and married a dying old man in order to inherit half of his inheritance.

There are rules in the cultivating family. Once a clan member dies, his or her lifetime wealth will be divided according to circumstances. If there are heirs who are cultivators, it will be passed on to the heirs. If there are no descendants, half of it will be confiscated.

The remaining half can be given to your parents' family.

In order to take advantage of this loophole, Yu Jiaoniang was willing to commit herself to the other party. Anyway, she didn't know how much money she had, and she didn't care about things like her reputation for chastity.

But nothing good comes for free in the world.

Since you have become a relative of my merchant, you must obey orders when necessary, so you went with the flow to Happy Forest and met Gao Daoda of the Xun Gu Sect.

In fact, if she had been the same as before, kept a low profile and lived her duties honestly, she might have been able to hide from the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

But who would have thought that she once made a speech in Happy Forest, saying that she wanted to sign Elder Hei Ku's detailed signature.

The pinch is broken!

This sentence has been widely fermented since then, causing heated discussions in the cultivation world and instantly becoming a hot topic in recent years.

There are so many migrant workers in the world of cultivation. Who wouldn’t be interested in talking about the scandal involving Master Jin Dan?

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord became so angry that he went straight to Happy Forest.

Since the merchant was the first to send Jindan Zhenren to break the rules, it was natural for him to take action at this time.

In addition, the pursuit of traitors to the Xun Gu Sect is inherently reasonable and no one can blame it morally.

After the incident in Chixiao City, the merchants immediately realized that something was wrong.

Although they didn't know who the Master Jin Dan was who assassinated Mu Yan, the Xun Gu Sect would definitely take this opportunity to retaliate severely, so they quickly sent Master Jin Dan to the two places to take precautions.

The elders of the merchants went to Chixiao City in person, and Kuaihuolin sent a guest from the Jindan period with a different surname there.

The merchant originally did not have anyone with the surname Jin Dan. Not long ago, they invited two Jin Dan from Xuchan Cave in East Lu who had a festival dispute with the Lujiang League.

Dingqing Sanren, Mrs. Xuantai.

These two men once pursued the enemy to the Lujiang League, but were blocked from entering and had to leave in despair.

Now that he has been invited by a businessman to support him, he readily agrees to go out and jointly deal with the Xun Gu Sect.

But when they came to Happy Forest, they happened to run into the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, who was also new to the area.

The two sides started a war!

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was one against two, so it was no problem to deal with these two people.

When I originally went to Ludong to look for the innate spiritual fetus, I promised to take care of these two people and avenge the master of Xuchan Cave.

As a result, the two men were called away by the merchant.

Now that they are on a rush and delivered to me, how can I let them go?

He immediately held down these two men and chased them fiercely!

It's a pity that they came here, thinking that they could enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food by following the merchants, and by the way, they would clean up the fish that slipped through the net and find clues to the innate spiritual fetus.

Who would have expected that he would encounter such an experienced opponent as the Black Skull Demon Lord? The more he fought, the more uncomfortable he became. The more he fought, the harder he fought, and he had to turn around and run away.

In the end, the Dingqing Sanren in the early stage of the Golden Elixir were killed, and Mrs. Xuantai in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir was seriously injured and escaped.

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord is not good at speed, so he turned back without catching up.

But with this effort, all the merchants in Happy Forest ran away, including Yu Jiao Niang.

In a rage, the Black Skeleton Demon King washed Happy Forest with blood!

It is said that that night, everyone in the market at the foot of the mountain heard the roar of Jindan Master.

Immediately, the terrifying big hand fell, knocking down rows of dense mountain forests, and the flaming flags burned blazingly, burning the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack mountain stronghold into ruins.

Fortunately, Gao Dang was smart enough to save Xu Shun, the second master of Happy Lin, but everyone else was destroyed and no one survived!

Afterwards, the merchant took back the seriously injured Mrs. Xuantai, and strongly condemned Elder Hei Ku of the Xun Gu Sect for his inhumanity and indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

But these words are useless, Happy Forest has been completely included in the sphere of influence of Xun Gu Sect.

And Chixiao City also did not stop.

The merchant's Jindan elders came hand in hand, firstly to stabilize the place, and secondly to investigate the cause and truth of the matter.

Who are those two Golden Core Stage monks who ignored order and fought in the Immortal City? Why did they let themselves take the blame and give the Xun Gu Sect an excuse to take action?

This investigation is progressing rapidly.

Chi Chen, the deputy city lord of Chixiao City, without consulting the merchants, invited outside Jindan-level casual cultivators, Hua Guhuaiyin to take action!

Promise that as long as he can assassinate Mu Yan, he will give you generous gifts!

The Huaiyin San cultivator was worthy of being a Jindan cultivator. He was so bold that he was not afraid of those who wore shoes even if he was barefoot. He actually launched an assassination attempt on Mu Yan without even saying a word.

That battle was beyond everyone's expectation, including Chi Chen himself, that a Golden Core Stage cultivator would appear next to Mu Yan.

After that night, two Jindan monks and Mu Yan disappeared, and a quarter of Chixiao City that his father left to him was destroyed.

His mother advised him to quickly and properly resettle the wounded in the city, restore order to Fairy City as soon as possible, find ways to divert panic from public opinion, try to minimize losses, and delay population loss.

After all, the casual cultivators came to settle down and work in Immortal City just to make a living as cultivators.

Once you find that your place is no longer safe, you will naturally seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, just like capital merchants, and move to a safe place.

This is what his brother Chi Xiao, the lord of Chixiao City in the Xungu Sect, did.

But he was completely indifferent and had no interest in disaster relief and reconstruction. Instead, he took advantage of Mu Yan's disappearance and led his team to launch an attack on the city lord's palace!

When the Shang family saw Chi Chen, they didn't even feel sorry for themselves, let alone them!

It would be best if we could drive away the Xun Gu Sect and call it a day and go home as early as possible, so we followed him and killed him.
