I hope you have the same attitude towards cultivating immortals

Chapter 170 The Murderer!

Zuo Ci was stunned for a moment, then clasped his palms together, "Amitabha, if you can help the two benefactors, the poor monk will definitely not refuse."

"I just don't know, how are you two going to find that heinous person?"

Jingxu thought for a while, "According to what we know, the thief has been here for a month, and he only commits crimes at night, and he killed hundreds of people in just one night."

"On average, three or four people go missing in one night, and most of these people are civilians. Therefore, we want to wait and see."

"Just take action tonight, release the bait in advance, use special means to communicate with each other, and distribute them in all corners of Pingyang County. As long as the thief appears, they will directly respond together and capture the thief."

"We have more than 500 people here this time. The thieves will not be able to escape even if they have their wings. But the Guanyin Temple area is a Buddhist holy place after all, so I will not set up guards."

"Let the master guard it on your behalf. I wonder if it's feasible?"

Zuo Ci nodded, "That's good, what the benefactor has done is a good deed, and the poor monk volunteered to help the benefactor catch the culprit."

Jingxu nodded, "Okay, then tonight, if you feel something strange, master, throw this thing to the ground, and we will come very quickly."

Saying that, Jingxu directly handed Zuo Ci a piece of jade slip.

Zuo Ci took it with one hand, then lowered his head, "Amitabha, I wish the benefactor can catch that thief as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Jingxu said a few more words to Zuo Ci, and then left with Liu Tianzhi.

When the two came outside the temple, Liu Tianzhi fell into deep thought, "From this point of view, the murderer must not be Grand Master Zuo Ci."

Jingxu sneered, "On the contrary, he is the biggest suspect."

Liu Tianzhi was a little puzzled, "Ah? Then just now, brother, why did you tell him our plan for tonight?"

Jingxu looked at Liu Tianzhi, "When did I tell you that we are going to act tonight?"

"More than 500 people lied to him. That Zuo Ci is not simple. I made a sudden attack just now, and his reaction looked like a mortal, but he still showed a little bit of flaws."

"Because if it is a mortal, when I suddenly attack, most people's first reaction is to raise their hands to block, or retreat to dodge, or just stay where they are."

"But Zuo Ci's reaction was to move his fingers subconsciously."

Liu Tianzhi was puzzled, "What can you tell by moving your fingers?"

Jingxu slowly stretched out two fingers, and suddenly a blue aura wrapped around them, "Who would subconsciously move their fingers when they do it?"

"There is only one answer, practitioner."

"But I can't feel any aura fluctuations on Zuo Ci's body. There are only two possibilities for this situation. The first possibility is that he has a strength that surpasses mine by a big realm."

"The second possibility is that he is indeed a mortal."

"If it is the first possibility, then my suggestion is to return to Zongmen, end this mission, take this information back, and hand it over to Zongmen for processing. You can also get part of the mission rewards."

"But it is still not certain that Zuo Ci is the murderer. What I left for Zuo Ci is not a jade room for summoning, but for locating him."

"Let's go to the inn to meet the others."

Liu Tianzhi nodded, "Okay, listen to senior brother."

……

into the night.

Everyone settled down at the inn. During this period, Jingxu went to the group of officers and soldiers to inquire about some things, and everyone gathered the information they found today.

"Sure enough, Zuo Ci is the most suspect."

Thinking quietly, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside the window!
"Who!"

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jingxu immediately drew out the Qingfeng sword and rushed out!
bump!
Jingxu smashed the window, and all the juniors and sisters followed closely after seeing this, and saw Jingxu took the lead and turned into a blue light directly, catching up to the black shadow!
"Stop!"

Whoosh!
Jingxu made a sword move, and the cyan sword energy swept across and directly blocked the black shadow's retreat!
And at this moment, the black figure suddenly turned around, and saw a burst of black flames suddenly attacking him head-on!

Seeing the Qingfeng sword turning in this hand, Jingxu was about to split the black fire directly!

But the moment his blade touched the black fire, Jingxu was suddenly stunned, because he found that he couldn't cut the black fire at all!

The opponent's realm is far beyond him!
He was deliberately leading them out!
Thinking of this, Jing Xu retreated instantly, but the black shadow followed closely behind him, and he felt as if his head had been severely injured just by meeting him!

Suddenly lost consciousness!

The same was true for the other disciples who were chasing after them. They only saw a black shadow, and then all lost consciousness.

……

After an unknown amount of time, when Jingxu opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in a dark basement.

The space here is very small, and there are faint fire lights all around.

Jing Xu wanted to move, but found that his hands and feet were tied up with ropes, which didn't look like ordinary things.

It should be some kind of spirit weapon.

Jingxu raised his head and scanned the surroundings, and saw that his junior sisters and juniors were also bound by the same rope, unable to move one by one.

And in front of them, there is an extremely huge alchemy furnace.

The whole body of this pill furnace is blood red, and a dark black flame is slowly burning in it.

Seeing this, Jingxu frowned, "It's still careless."

But at this moment, a figure suddenly walked out in the darkness.

He was wearing a cassock, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, and a bandage wrapped around his face, with only one eye exposed!
It was none other than Zuo Ci!
Jing Xu frowned, "It really is you, you don't even pretend?"

"Grand Master Zuo Ci."

Zuo Ci, who walked out in the darkness, smiled when he heard the words, "Amitabha, we meet again, benefactor."

Jingxu sneered, "Don't be disgusting, you are the culprit who caused hundreds of people to disappear. I thought you would wait for a few days."

"I didn't expect you to do it directly, so now, you should also talk about your purpose?"

Purpose?

Hearing this, Zuo Ci slowly stretched out his right hand, then grabbed the cloth on his face, and tore it off violently!
puff!
As the cloth was taken apart, Zuo Ci's black hair fell loose!

Seeing this scene, everyone's pupils shrank suddenly!
Jing Xu's eyes widened, and he saw that Zuo Ci's face was covered with large burn marks, large areas of rotting flesh and dead skin, that appearance was extremely odious!

It doesn't look like a human face at all!
His right eye is blind, and apart from one left eye, there is no intact skin on his entire face!

And at this moment, the beads on Zuo Ci's neck also turned into pale white beads!

These beads look like they were carved from human skulls, and it's unbelievable how round they can be polished.

"It's really unfortunate. Which sect and sect of you are the disciples, and you actually met me, the one who takes the lead, and you have the highest cultivation level. Let me tell you."

Jingxu gritted her teeth, "Taixu Xianmen."
