"Back to His Highness, when his subordinates came back, they had already sent out some people to thoroughly investigate the affairs of Heimutang, and this is the remaining group of people. Ah Cuo said respectfully, seeing that Duanmu Rui was really safe and sound, he was also a lot more relieved.

On the way back, Ah Cuo has been worried, what if the immortal punishment and others are not good for Duanmurui, he regretted that he came out like that more than once, but now that Duanmurui is safe and sound, he is a little embarrassed to face the immortal punishment and others, and there is always a kind of villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman.

Immortal Punishment glanced at Ah Cuo lightly, Ah Cuo's back stiffened, how could he have the feeling that Immortal Punishment could see through his thoughts? Probably not, the person in front of him didn't look very old, how could he be so insightful of people's hearts, it should be his own delusion.

"Your Highness, I hope you can lend me some manpower. Immortal Punishment said to Duanmu Rui, his tone was frank and straightforward, not at all like borrowing something from someone.

On the other hand, the phoenix and the generals on the side didn't feel anything wrong, the corners of Acuo's mouth twitched slightly, he guessed that either this group of people had an unusual identity before, and they never whispered to ask people to do anything, or this group of people used to stay away from the crowd and didn't know how to deal with people.

Because of the previous belly of the prince, Ah Cuo also planned to help lobby a few words, and His Royal Highness Sixth had already nodded and agreed, "Naturally, these people are all handed over to you, just do what you want." ”

Duanmu Rui vaguely guessed that the immortal punishment wanted these people to be related to Xiao Chen, he was naturally willing to help, although he admired them very much, but he also knew how to measure, and knew that everyone had their own privacy, so at first, he only thought about lending people to them, and did not plan to participate.

It was still the Immortal Punishment who took the initiative to inform him: "I only borrowed it in name, in fact, this group of people is still used by His Highness, and I want them to help me investigate the missing people in the city as soon as January and as far away as a year." ”

"Missing people in the city?" Duanmu Rui frowned slightly, he originally thought that the Immortal Punishment took these people to explore the City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't think that it was used to investigate the situation in Passing Water City.

After all, he grew up in the palace, no matter how smart Duanmu Rui was, he didn't guess the intention of the immortal punishment, he wanted to ask, but he didn't know if the immortal punishment was willing to say it, so he tangled up with himself.

Immortal punishment just looks young on the outside, but in fact he is an old monster, he only glanced at Duanmu Rui's expression to know what Duanmu Rui was thinking, and he was a little funny in his heart, this sixth prince is a very simple prince, and it is so difficult to ask a question.

"After the young master of our family came back last night, he came to me specially to find me, those people in Heimutang, said that they were killed, but how they were killed, the outside world does not know. Immortal Punishment said slowly.

Duanmu Ruimin sensed the problem here, and immediately became interested, "So, there is a problem with the way those people died?"

Immortal Punishment nodded, "Not only is there a problem, but there is a big problem, the young master suspects that there are people in this city who are cultivating a strange exercise, and that kind of weird exercise needs to absorb a large number of young and middle-aged vitality, we originally planned to investigate secretly today, but we didn't want the young master to be taken away by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, so I can only trouble His Royal Highness Six." ”

Duanmurui hurriedly waved his hand, "What did you say, Brother Xiao and I met late, and I am very happy to be able to help Brother Xiao." ”

Phoenix was a little confused when he heard it, "But my brother is not here, can we investigate it alone?"

Immortal Punishment smiled and didn't speak.

Time back to last night, Xiao Chen came to find the immortal punishment with a stomach of doubts, at that time the immortal punishment was meditating, after listening to Xiao Chen's description, he had some doubts in his heart, and personally walked with Xiao Chen to the Black Wood Hall, and when he saw a dried corpse on the ground, the immortal punishment confirmed his guess.

Blood devouring, an evil technique that uses the spiritual power or life force of others to be used for one's own use, has been criticized and resisted since it was created, and anyone who practices this kind of exercise and does something great will be hunted down and killed by righteous people.

This kind of exercise is very evil, it is completely based on other people's lives and cultivation, it can be said that every step of promotion has to be paid for it, it should be very unpopular, but this exercise can quickly improve personal cultivation, compared to conventional cultivation, this is undoubtedly a shortcut.

There is never a shortage of adventurous people in this world, even if they know that cultivating this kind of exercise will be hunted down by righteous people, there are still people who go forward and continue to cultivate, which once caused chaos in the order of the continent.

Later, under the joint efforts of all forces, the last person on the mainland to cultivate blood devouring has died, and that exercise has also been destroyed, so it stands to reason that there should be no more blood devouring in the world.

It was not for nothing that Xiao Chen risked being taken away today, because the immortal punishment told him that there was the existence of the Xiao family in the forces that killed the Blood Devouring Cultivators back then, and even because of the status of the Xiao family at that time, he was still the one who took the lead, if he asked who the Blood Devouring Cultivators hated the most, it was undoubtedly the Xiao family.

After a few decades, in a small border town far away from Zhongzhou, a blood-devouring cultivator suddenly appeared, which can only show that he did not clear it at the beginning, this kind of uncleanness, thinking about it deeply, it is not without the help of a certain force, after all, according to the strength of the original liquidation alliance, it is impossible not to find the remnant cultivators, and the only explanation is that there is an inner ghost.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the later destruction of the Xiao family, but in any case, it is true that the people who practice blood devouring have a deep hatred with the Xiao family, the Xiao family moved away from Zhongzhou, but they did not disappear from this continent, and the current Xiao family is not what it used to be, if the blood devouring cultivators are looking for revenge on the Xiao family now, it is not impossible to succeed.

The moment Xiao Chen returned here, he took on the responsibility on his shoulders, he was a descendant of the Xiao family, and he had the obligation to find out the existence that would threaten the Xiao family. Moreover, in addition to the reasons of the Xiao family, blood devouring itself is also an evil exercise, and this kind of exercise should not exist in the world.

Immortal Punishment did not fully explain the matter of blood devouring, but vaguely said that it was an evil exercise, and Xiao Chen wanted to find out the people behind the scenes.

Although Duanmu Rui got along well with them, who knew which side he was in, and the immortal punishment would not easily expose the relationship between Xiao Chen and the Xiao family.

Fortunately, Duanmu Rui did not have the spirit to get to the bottom of it, and after confirming it, he ordered the people to investigate the matter of the immortal punishment arrangement.

Compared with the flow of everyone's thoughts in the inn, Xiao Chen in the City Lord's Mansion is much calmer, and even quite carefree.

Although he was imprisoned in the heavy prison because of the accusations of the city lord, no one came to abuse him, the prison was empty, and after the government soldiers threw him in, they did not carefully plan where to put him, so they left, so the huge prison allowed Xiao Chen to go casually.
