"Let them escape!"

Seeing this situation, the masters from various families in Qingshan could not help but look at each other.

One of the late-stage monks who seemed to be highly respected said in a condensed voice: "Dear friends, should we continue to chase?"

No one responded.

None of the people present were passionate and impulsive, and they deeply understood that the ability of those two assassins to ambush Liu Ming and the dead soldiers around him in just a short time was probably the alchemy cultivator in the entire Zhongzhou territory Among them, they are all top-notch.

These are two masters with top strength, and they are not easily dealt with by a local tycoon like myself.

At present, there are only four people catching up. If they act together, they can still deal with it. Everyone is also a master in the late stage of forming alchemy. Wait for help.

However, this place is densely forested and full of aura, if you search inside and encounter it alone, what should you do?

Seeing that everyone was silent, a man in brocade clothes snorted coldly, and said: "I've already lost, why are you chasing after me? Besides, now that Fellow Daoist Liu is dead or alive, the situation in the city must be in chaos. At such a critical time, I just need to wait to go back It is important to stay in town and track down the murderer, but it is also important to have a priority."

Another person agreed: "What Lan Gong said is very true, everyone, I think we should hurry back as soon as possible!"

Everyone discussed for a while in the sky above the forest sea, and finally turned their heads and flew back, gradually disappearing into the sky.

At this time, the situation in the city was indeed chaotic.

Seeing Liu Ming being assassinated, the surviving disciples of the Lingbao Sect were outraged and accused the members of the aristocratic family who came later for not doing enough to protect them, and these masters of the aristocratic family who came were all alchemy monks, although they were only small and powerful.They were far inferior to the world-renowned sects like the Lingbao Sect, but they were not something that ordinary inner disciples could criticize, so they all received them coldly, and what's more, they turned their backs on them for harming the city lord.

After all, these local tyrants still have some brains, and no one dared to claim that the assassins were attracted by them, and at this time, the envoy of the Lingbao Sect had also died, so the only way to appease these people who were sent along with them was first.Only then can they help send some good words to Zongli, so as not to cause disasters to Qingshan.

In addition, the momentum of Miao Yun's attack was really huge, which alarmed many casual cultivators from the same city who came to celebrate his birthday, and they all came to watch the excitement.

Although these people have heard about Liu Mingxian's name, they can't say how sympathetic they are. Most of them condemn the murderer out of justice in the world.Instruct the family present to investigate.

However, the members of the aristocratic family present felt that these people were pointing fingers, and they didn't know what to say.

Everyone knows that the city lord was assassinated.It is necessary to track down the murderer in time and find out the truth, but the opponent made a fierce attack and left with one blow.How to check?Moreover, if you really want to investigate, except for some ambitious families who are very suspicious.The casual cultivators from all over the place were also involved, so they should be checked too!

Who knows, among the casual alchemy cultivators present, there will be people who collude with ambitious people and deliberately disrupt the local situation.

Moreover, there is another critical issue that is critical. At this time, everything is disturbing, confusing, and chaotic. Someone must stand up to give orders and take charge of the overall situation.

Only when the orders are put together in one place, will they not act independently and conflict with each other. Only the power of the entire city, city, and even the families of Qingshan can be integrated, and they will spread out a net to investigate and hunt down tens of thousands of miles around.

But, who should be the person who gives orders and is in charge of the overall situation?

Huang Cheng and Miao Yun's judgment on the situation was very accurate, because they took the initiative to get rid of the envoy of the Lingbao Sect first, preventing the envoy of the Lingbao Sect from standing up in this chaotic situation and taking the power of the commander-in-chief. Disciples, although their identities are similar, are not legitimate envoys after all, and none of them has the cultivation base of alchemy, so they are not qualified to be on the stage at all.

Therefore, although the masters of various families also felt that it is not appropriate to shirk and shirk at the moment, none of them wanted to take responsibility, but they wanted to seize power.

Except for the useless measures of the impatient jumping out to show the determination to catch the murderer at the beginning, and sending the dead guards to search and arrest the whole city, patrolling nearby, and martial law, there was no real progress.

"..."

"Fellow Daoist Miao, you are really clever. The reactions of these people are exactly what you said!"

None of the people at the scene noticed it, and the city was in chaos. When they were arguing and trying to make excuses, among the crowd, two figures who looked normal but were actually stand-in puppets stood outside, watching with great interest. This scene.

This puppet stand-in is really well-made, with a subtle expression of semi-joke on its face, and a strange light flickering in its eyes, almost no different from a real person.

Relying on the two puppets that had already been reserved here, the two escaped from the city without losing their sense of what happened between them, and continued to monitor the local tycoons.

"It's not my ingenuity, it's a matter of the world. It's nothing more than this. It's inevitable that these people have no leader and fall into chaos in order to fight for power, and even fight. It's just that I didn't expect that the blow just now was so smooth. Really killed Liu Ming!"

On Miao Yun's puppet face, there was a look of gratitude and regret.

Fortunately for him, he really succeeded, and in a very short period of time, he killed a master in the late stage of alchemy.

For him, this is also something that he can be proud of. It means that his use of magic weapons in his hands and his ability to fight people have all been raised to a whole new level.

It is a pity that this Liu Ming is obviously old and frail, and he is not as good as before. If it is another mature monk with the same level, it is absolutely impossible to get it so easily.

No injustice, no enmity, and such an old man, I really feel ashamed to kill him.

Huang Cheng guessed some of his thoughts, and comforted him: "Miao Daoist, disputes in the world are unavoidable, but we only need to know who we are doing for, and that's enough. We came here under the order of Master Li. As for Master Li, because Pang Wei of the Lingbao Sect wanted to snatch the treasure mine, he fought back in self-defense, and the cause and effect were entangled, so how could it be possible to distinguish between good and evil, good and evil?"

Miao Yun laughed dumbly, and said: "You are right. As the saying goes, heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are treated as dogs. Although we have cultivated alchemy, we are just pawns on the chessboard. , I am lucky to be able to eat chess and be eaten, but what is even more frightening is that I am unknown, and I don’t even have the qualifications to improve myself.”

He waved his hand, and said again: "Let's not talk about these things, but the city is now under strict investigation. I think starting tomorrow, the nearby mountains and forests will also be surrounded by a net. How can we take these two doubles out?"

The effective control distance of the stand-in puppets is [-] miles, and they are already close to the limit. If they are forced to leave by a rigorous search, the puppets in the city will inevitably be exposed.

Although this is not a big problem, it is always possible to expose some clues.

Huang Cheng thought for a while, and said: "According to the original plan, spread rumors in the city to make the situation here more chaotic, and then control them to leave. If it really doesn't work, just abandon them and find a hidden corner to destroy them on the spot! Didn’t the body of this double puppet bring its own melting potion? It can be completely dissolved in a short period of time. The identity of the hero post we submitted when we came was also fabricated. It was originally a reckless casual cultivator. Even if we find out the truth by using special methods such as divination and divination, we have already gone far away, so don't worry about it."

Miao Yun nodded: "That's good."

The two should act as they said, and go their separate ways.

On the second day, some rumors that were extremely unfavorable to the Qingshan families really spread in the city.

Overnight, I don't know who started talking about it. The assassination of the city lord happened here. All the casual cultivators present were suspected. All the big families are planning to join hands to investigate and interrogate them.

It was also mentioned that the Lin family of Qingshan, the Yao family of Qingshan, and the Mu family of Qingshan have all contacted loose cultivators in secret, recruiting troops and buying horses, plotting evil.

Others said that the Elder Pang Weipang of the Lingbao Sect had already learned of the murder of the envoy here. He was furious and decided to send several masters to severely punish the families. At the same time, he instructed the Tiandao League to intervene in the investigation. None can escape.

"We have nothing to do with this matter, why bother to stay and let others suspect? It's better to leave now, there will be a period later!"

"Yes, we are going out, let go of the city gate!"

"Just this little restriction can't stop us, let's get rid of it quickly, otherwise, we'll force our way in."

A group of casual cultivators with their own thoughts gathered in front of the city gate and put forward their own requirements to the various families in charge here.

Seeing this, the families couldn't help but feel a headache.

Let them go, let them go, the case of the city lord being assassinated is really strange, among these casual cultivators, there are also suspicions of murderers and accomplices;

Saying that they are not allowed to leave and force them to stay, so many masters are making a fuss, it is also a force that should not be underestimated.

Moreover, there are many casual cultivators who have great supernatural powers and strong magic spells present, and they are also the targets that every family wants to fight for, and they cannot be easily offended.

Therefore, since no one can lead the overall situation and make a decision with one word, the various forces in Qingshan had to send representatives from each of the five relatively powerful families to discuss the final election.

In the end, the aristocratic families came up with a way, that is, each of them would guarantee some of the loose cultivators who wanted to win over, leave their names and contact information, and then let them go.

The stand-in puppet controlled by Huang Cheng and Miao Yun also left the city smoothly and walked away. (To be continued..)
