Chapter 178
Zuo Qiuming, the shadow guard standing guard at the front door of the Mo Mansion, glanced around and saw that Wutong Lane was quiet and there was nothing unusual. He flashed into the yard and saw a pile of bones that had turned into pus. His eyes lit up:
"Uncle, have you found any clues?"
Another shadow guard, Leng Wutian, frowned when he saw Zuo Qiuming coming in:
"Didn't I tell you to keep watch outside? Why did you come in?"
"I am just concerned about you, uncle. You haven't answered me yet."
There was only one star on the shoulder of Zuo Qiuming's black robe.
Leng Wutian engraved two stars.
Obviously.
Leng Wutian is at a higher level in Yingmen.
He glanced at Zuo Qiuming. He did not act according to the plan, left his post without permission, and questioned his superior. If it were any other subordinate, he would have slapped him in the face, but the other party was his eldest sister's posthumous child. He sighed and said earnestly:
"Qiu Ming, don't be as reckless as you were today. The rules in the sect are strict and the division of labor is detailed. If you leave your post without permission, your superiors can execute you on the spot. And I have told you many times that you are not allowed to call me uncle when performing official duties!"
"Oh, I understand, Uncle. Lord Leng."
Zuo Qiuming pouted, somewhat disapprovingly.
A pair of eyes stared at Leng Wutian, full of curiosity.
Seeing this, Leng Wutian knew that the other party was a person who would not hesitate to get to the bottom of things, so he could only nod slightly.
"real?!"
Zuo Qiuming was very happy.
He jumped up and down on the spot with excitement.
Excited:
"Uncle, we have accomplished a great deed this time. We have found the Ningyuan Pill that will help you advance to the Yuandan realm!"
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Leng Wutian saw that his nephew was still like a child, and he felt doting but helpless.
but.
He has remained at the peak of the Tianyuan Realm for more than ten years, but due to the lack of Ningyuan Pill, he has been unable to break through.
This time it was a chance sent from heaven.
I accidentally learned that Huang Baihu of Huangguang Town has a younger sister:
"We can't stay here for long. Let's find a place near the city gate to stay for the night. We'll leave tomorrow morning when the city gate opens."
Zuo Qiuming was stunned for a moment.
Hesitantly said:
"Uncle, shouldn't we report the clues directly to Master Yue?"
"Just listen to me."
Lord Yue Qiuchan is a three-star shadow guard and Leng Wutian's direct superior.
In the early years.
Leng Wutian and Yue Qiuchan entered the Shadow Guard at the same time, and they were close friends at the time.
Later, no one knew what happened between the two, but their relationship became worse and worse. After Yue Qiuchan became the boss, he made many things difficult for Leng Wutian and even concealed Leng Wutian's contributions many times. This was one of the reasons why Leng Wutian still failed to raise a Ningyuan Pill after more than ten years.
Therefore.
Leng Wutian knew.
Once he passed this clue to Yue Qiuchan.
The other party will definitely take the credit and put it under his own name.
"Aren't you leaving yet?!"
Leng Wutian turned around and glared at Zuo Qiuming who was standing there in a daze.
Wutong Lane.
Fu Shaoping and the other man, who had used the breath-hiding technique and were wearing invisibility cloaks, had just arrived a hundred steps away from the Mo Mansion. Fu Shaoping's nose twitched and he raised his hand and said:
"and many more!"
Pi Xiu paused.
He looked at Fu Shaoping in confusion.
Fu Shaoping frowned and said:
"Someone is one step ahead of us."
There was a faint smell of blood in the air that had not yet dissipated.
If I guess correctly.
The ones who were one step ahead of them should be from Shadow Gate.
Pi Xiu obviously thought of this, his body trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes:
"Brother, what should we do now? Should we go back and look for the Qingyang County Magistrate?"
The Shadow Clan not only killed Captain Huang of Huangguang Town, but also killed the deputy captain sent from above. This shows that the people dispatched by the Shadow Clan this time were at least at the Tianyuan realm, which was beyond the ability of the two of them in the Diyuan realm to deal with.
Accidentally.
I'm afraid I'll die on the spot.
Fu Shaoping remained calm. He glanced around the courtyards and pointed to the small courtyard next to the Mo Mansion:
"Don't worry, let's see what happens first."
talking.
His body flashed.
After a few jumps, he entered the courtyard.
Standing on the high wall:
"Pi Xiu, do you have the tracking bug with you?"
"I'm taking it with me."
Pi Xiu's eyes lit up. The tracking bug in his hand was most suitable for tracking as long as he didn't encounter a Yuandan realm expert. He excitedly slapped the spirit beast bag, and with a flash of light, a silver-white tracking bug as long as his little finger sank into the ground.
The two of them stared at the Mo Mansion next door motionlessly.
But it will be fine for a while.
There was no sound coming from the Mo Mansion.
Pi Xiu couldn't help but say:
"Brother, how about we climb over the wall and take a look?"
"hold on!"
Fu Shaoping was not sure whether the people inside had left.
The words have not yet fallen.
Pi Xiu suddenly became excited, and he lowered his voice and said:
"Brother, someone came out from the Mo Mansion, and there are two of them!"
But the naked eye saw nothing.
Obviously.
The people from Shadow Clan must have used some secret technique to conceal their bodies.
Fu Shaoping said:
"Pi Xiu, continue to let the tracking bug follow them. Remember, no matter what you see, don't act rashly."
He decided to split up.
Finished.
Fu Shaoping pushed the wall with his toes and landed lightly on the yard on the opposite side.
In the courtyard.
The strong smell of blood filled the entire space.
However, there was no living person to be found in the entire Mo Mansion, not even a corpse was found. The breeze blew the red silk and red lanterns hanging everywhere. From the scene, it could be seen that the birthday banquet had just ended:
"The people from the Shadow Sect are really cruel and ruthless."
Enough to be visible.
How precious is what Yingmen wants to find.
I don't intend to leave any clues for them.
After searching the Mo Mansion and finding nothing unusual, Fu Shaoping did not delay and immediately retreated from the yard. After coming out of Wutong Lane, he took a night boat directly, crossed the moat, and arrived at the inner city gate before revealing himself.
The guards at the city gate immediately became alert:
"Who broke into the inner city at night? Tell me your name!"
Fu Shaoping didn't say anything, but threw his identity token into the air. The guard caught the token, glanced at it, and shook his body. A beam of light fell on Fu Shaoping. After confirming that he was correct, he immediately threw a ladder rope down from the city wall.
Step on the ladder rope.
A few flashes.
Fu Shaoping stood on the top of the city wall.
The guard saluted quickly:
"General, are you going into the city overnight? Is there something important?"
"Is the county magistrate in the city?"
"The county magistrate has gone to the city, and Mr. General, County Magistrate Cui is still in the city. Can you lead the way?"
The Qingyang County Magistrate is not here? !
Fu Shaoping frowned.
This is troublesome. The Fu family and the Cui family don't get along well, and he and County Magistrate Cui look down on each other.
But if they want to lay a net to capture the people of Shadow Sect, under the current circumstances, they can only seek the help of County Magistrate Cui. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to capture the people after Shadow Sect leaves the county.
"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, little brother."
"No trouble, no trouble, sir, please wait a moment, I have a few words with the brother on duty."
Guard Zhang entered the arrow tower. After a while, a guard came out with sleepy eyes. There were two people on duty in the arrow tower. Guard Zhang, who led Fu Shaoping, was obviously on duty in the first half of the night.
Zhang Shouwei's cultivation level is also in the Earthly Realm. Fu Shaoping came to visit late at night, and he knew the situation was urgent without asking.
Therefore.
He also walked very fast.
Less than half a cup of tea.
The two men stayed in the backyard of the government office. Guard Zhang knocked on the door and said a few words to the gatekeeper. After listening, the gatekeeper nodded quickly. He recognized Fu Shaoping, as he was the champion of the alchemy competition.
The servant didn't say any nonsense.
He turned around and jogged to Wutian Garden where County Magistrate Cui was resting.
When County Magistrate Cui, who was meditating, heard Fu Shaoping's request to see him, he refused without a second thought. In the alchemy competition, Fu Shaoping won the championship, which caused him to lose everything. To this day, he has not made up for the huge hole.
Every time I think about this.
He was so angry that his teeth were itching.
but.
The words come to your lips.
He paused again.
The other party came late at night, and he knew very well that I didn't like him. It seems that he really encountered some difficult problems.
Fu Shaoping is now the chief flag bearer. If something happens in Qingniu Town, he will naturally look for Captain Mo. If he comes to him now, it means that something happened in their county!
Think about it.
County Magistrate Cui immediately stood up from the mat.
Last time.
Fu Shaoping posted the notice and arrested the immortal flower-picking thief without asking for help. Now that he has a higher level of cultivation, he needs support. Thinking of the tragic case of Huang Baihu's family being wiped out in Huangguang Town, County Magistrate Cui immediately thought of the Shadow Clan:
"No way! This Shadow Clan has actually come to the county town! Damn it!"
He chose the time when the county magistrate was not around.
The stakes are high.
He also cannot avoid seeing:
"Go get people in."
After a while.
Fu Shaoping was led into the courtyard by a servant.
If we talk about grade.
The general flag is half a level lower than the county magistrate.
Fu Shaoping cupped his hands and said, "Sir."
County Magistrate Cui nodded slightly, waved his hand, and dismissed the servants. His tone was still distant and a little resentful: "What do you want from me?"
Fu Shaoping didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"Reporting to the Lord, after arriving at the county town today, I wanted to stay overnight in the outer city, but I happened to find that all the people in the Mo Mansion in Wutong Lane were killed, and the murderer destroyed the bodies. After tracking them all the way, we found that this massacre was committed by the Shadow Clan, and the murderer is currently in the outer city."
He is indeed from Shadow Clan.
But why did Yingmen want to kill people from the Mo Mansion?
County Magistrate Cui was puzzled:
"Have you found out their motive for committing the crime?"
"no"
"Then how many of them are entering the city this time, and what is their cultivation level?"
"Two people, their cultivation is unknown."
Fu Shaoping is still only in the Earthly Yuan Realm. He cannot project his spiritual consciousness and does not have the divine eye. It is normal that he cannot see the other party's cultivation level.
County Magistrate Cui narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Alright, I understand!"
Since the other party did not leave the city overnight, it means that they cannot break the defensive formation of the outer city.
Infer from this.
The cultivation of these two shadow guards should not have reached the Yuandan stage.
Think about it.
County Magistrate Cui immediately became excited.
This is a credit that comes right to my doorstep.
If he could solve a case that the Zhenwu Division hadn't solved, it would be a great achievement:
"Mr. Fu, you've worked hard. Please go to the outer room and rest. I will take care of the rest."
County Magistrate Cui signaled with his eyes to have Fu Shaoping sent out.
Regarding County Magistrate Cui’s attempt to steal the credit.
He expected this.
Fu Shaoping did not stay in the government office, but put on an invisibility cloak and followed the government office's people out of the inner city.
This time.
To be sure.
County Magistrate Cui gathered all the Tianyuan realm warriors in the entire government office, and the six of them sneaked silently to the hiding place of the two shadow guards provided by Fu Shaoping.
Fu Shaoping sent a message and called Pi Xiu back.
Pi Xiu was unwilling:
"Brother, we were the ones who found this shadow guard, but looking at County Magistrate Cui's attitude, it's clear that he wants to take all the credit for himself. And when he finds something from the shadow guard, he will definitely not tell us. In this way, aren't we just helping others and working in vain?!"
"Not urgent"
Fu Shaoping looked as if he was sure of victory.
Pi Xiu saw this.
The resentment in my heart disappeared in an instant.
When has the eldest brother ever done a business at a loss? It is obvious that he has already thought of an emergency plan.
Pi Xiu also calmed down.
far away.
Six Tianyuan realm warriors have surrounded the residence of the two shadow guards.
To be sure.
County Magistrate Cui came alone to the central hub of the outer city's defense formation at this time. He cast one spell after another. The next moment, the originally dark outer city lit up with a humming sound and bright white light. The entire protective formation was completely awakened in just a few breaths!
The two shadow guards Zuo Qiuming and Leng Wutian who were hiding in the woodshed of the residential building suddenly looked up.
See this scene.
Shadow guard Leng Wutian's pupils shrank:
"Oh no, my whereabouts have been discovered!"
A close call.
When the light shield of the formation was closed.
The shadow guard quickly took out a mother-child communication jade talisman, and entered a spell, and the jade talisman was instantly activated: "Master Yue, I have found the secret of No. 1, but I am trapped in Qingyang County. Request for support!"
The voice just fell.
The jade talisman emitted a white light, then faded away.
Shadow guard Zuo Qiuming's eyes flashed with panic:
"Uncle, what should we do now?"
"I will go out and lead them away in a moment. You can take this opportunity to slip out and hide somewhere. Don't worry, the other shadow guards will come to rescue us!"
talking.
Leng Wutian raised his hand and slapped a talisman on Zuo Qiuming.
Zuo Qiuming's figure immediately disappeared completely.
Leng Wutian kicked off with his toes, quickly climbed out of the window, and rushed into the master bedroom at an extremely fast speed. He quickly held two hostages in his left and right hands. The six Tianyuan realm warriors who were besieging him saw this scene and paused in their attacks.
In the woodshed.
Zuo Qiuming took this opportunity to escape into the ground.
Otherwise.
What he didn't know was.
A tracking insect was following closely behind him.
In the center of the formation.
County Magistrate Cui saw that the six Tianyuan Realm warriors had not made any move, and immediately said in a cold voice:
"Why are you fussing so much? Take action immediately and don't let this thief escape!"
The words fell.
Leng Wutian sneered.
The two hostages in his hands were thrown into the air, and collided with the attacks of the six warriors. Instantly, blood mist erupted and covered the entire courtyard.
Leng Wutian dodged.
He was about to leave with his foot on the Tianyun Sword, but a huge silver net suddenly covered his head.
