"I just ...... What's going on?" Bei Yanmeng slowly opened his eyes, and there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Are you alright?" asked Sha Li softly.

Bei Yanmeng shook his head: "Where did we just go?"

"...... just now" Sha Li wanted to mention his doubts just now, but after a change of thought, he said: "Speaking of Chi Zheng, he informed the four patriarchs of the inference of the 'Reverse Beast Tide Tribulation'. ”

"Yes, yes, I told the four major families...... "A layer of sadness gradually appeared on Bei Yanmeng's face, "Later, he called Lei to death." ”

Sha Li wondered: "Who, Chi Zheng, was killed by lightning?"

"That's right! Da Situ guessed that Chi Zheng must have spied on the heavens in vain and was punished by heaven. A thunderbolt from above killed him. Bei Yanmeng's face was slightly shocked, obviously he had witnessed Chi Zheng's death.

"However, since this Heavenly Machine Light Group appeared in the Secret Pavilion, isn't it just for people to see, why did Chi Zheng be killed by Heavenly Punishment?"

"I don't know. Perhaps these clusters of light were not meant for humans in the first place. Bei Yanmeng's expression froze, and he shook his head slightly. Then he seemed to remember something, "Xiao Lili, Da Situ has issued a strict order, no one is allowed to approach this area, let alone touch those light clusters. Since you are a deacon of the Mystic Chamber, you must not break the rules here. ”

Sha Li's eyes rolled slightly, and he nodded heavily: "This is nature, natural ......"

Bei Yanmeng looked at Sha Li's appearance, and for some reason, the corners of his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he chuckled inexplicably in his heart.

...

After returning home from the Secret Pavilion, Sha Li still didn't find any trace of Kaifeng. And Xue Qi also said that Kaifeng did not return home.

Although Xue Qi told Sha Li not to worry, Sha Li could also see that she might already have some faint worries in her heart. Sha Li himself is not the same.

When he returned to his room, he wanted to continue cultivating, but his mood was still uneasy, so he simply lay down with his head upside down. I don't know if it's because reading a group of books in the Secret Gallery is quite distracting, and I gradually feel sleepy unconsciously, and I have a dream in a daze. In that dream, Kaifeng's figure slowly drifted towards the sky, he chased hard, screaming desperately, but he could never catch up with her.

"Don't leave me!"

After a loud exhalation, Sha Li woke up from his dream, with a little bead of sweat on his forehead. He reached out to wipe the sweat, but suddenly felt a chill on his wrist. Looking closely, the pale cyan bracelet that was tied to his wrist by Kai Feng himself was actually a little dim at the moment.

Sha Li's heart tightened inexplicably. This bracelet was the only relic left to her by Kaifeng's mother, who had worn it since she was a child, and it also contained Kaifeng's vitality. Although this bracelet is not dazzling on weekdays, it always shines with a faint blue light, but at the moment it is so dim.

"Isn't there something really happened to Kaifeng?" the more Sha Li thought about it, the more worried he became, and after making a statement to Xue Qi, he rushed to the Silver Beach detachment again.

"Captain, is there still no news from Kaifeng and Zhifeng?"

As soon as Shali arrived at the outpost, he went straight to Russell's room. The island guards of Silver Beach are equipped with "Hongyin" on each person. This "Hongyin" was originally a Jinshi embedded with a set of sound transmission formations, and only when both the holders injected their own wisps of divine consciousness into that formation could they talk to each other. And whether it was the jade plate used by Sha Li to participate in the selection of the island guards, or the puppet night owl who spoke to them on behalf of Zhuge Crane in the dense forest of the Zhuge family before, they could only communicate unilaterally.

The "Hongyin" in the hands of the Yintan Island guards can talk to the captain Yan Chiping and the vice captain Russell. And Sha Li never thought that one day he would need to find Kaifeng through "Hongyin", so at this moment he regretted a little why he didn't set up a divine sense connection with Kaifeng on "Hongyin" in the first place.

"Nope. Russell shook his head slowly, but he was not as indifferent as when he met Sha Li last time. Although it is not uncommon for Silver Beach Island Guards to take many days to carry out their missions, no matter what, it is customary to report progress to him and Yan Chiping from time to time.

Kaifeng and Zhi, as senior island guards of Silver Beach, naturally know this very well, and they have always done an excellent job. But this time, seven days have passed, and there is still no news back, and even Russell himself feels very abnormal.

"Hopefully, they have arrived at a place where they can block the communication of 'Hongyin'. Russell guessed.

"Hongyin" has a fatal flaw, if the two holders are too far apart, they cannot talk. Since the call is based on the marks of the consciousness of both parties, if it is in those places where the consciousness can be isolated, it is absolutely impossible to talk.

"The captain asked Kaifeng and Zhiyu to investigate the disappearance of the islanders?"

"Not bad. Russell was obviously not surprised that Sha Li knew about this, and frowned slightly: "Only those who know about it have reported it, and there have been more than a dozen cases this month." I don't know how many of those who have no one to report. ”

"Captain, what do the missing have in common?"

Russell glanced at Sha Li and showed an approving gaze: "Those who disappeared do not rely on any family, and most of them are not too good in character. ”

Although Sha Li has not known Russell for a long time, he knows that he has always left room for speech, and it seems that the character of those missing people is really bad.

"Could it be that these people are being targeted by some mysterious force?"

Russell didn't answer, but his expression was already acquiescing. He was already aware of several cases when they occurred. It's just that he can't figure it out, there are not a few casual cultivators on Qiyuan Island who don't rely on their families and do their own thing, if this is really the work of a certain force behind this, why do they just target these behaviors and are quite bad casual cultivators? Could it be that they still want to do the right thing for heaven, punish evil and promote good?

Sha Li glanced at the pale cyan bracelet on his wrist, and suddenly remembered a question: "By the way, captain, what level of cultivation are these missing Yuans?"

Russell came back to his senses after thinking about it, "Originally, there were only some Kaiyuan Realms, and at most they were the early stage of the Tongyuan Realm. Later, according to the report, the True Yuan Realm had already appeared among the missing people. ”

"Could it be that the people who are eyeing them are still above the true yuan in cultivation?" Sha Li said in a deep voice.

"I know what you're thinking. Russell looked at Sha Li and said: "Even if there is really a Yuan of the Spirit Yuan Realm to make a move, the cultivation should only be in the early stage of the Spirit Yuan, even if Kai Feng and Zhi Yu join forces, they can escape." ”

"Moreover, on this Qiyuan Island, no one has dared to really poison the island guard. After Russell finished saying this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and read it softly: "No, some ......" He remembered the murder of Yan Chenggu a few months ago, which is still a mystery case.

Shari is clearly not as optimistic as Russell. Even if Kaifeng's cultivation has reached the peak of the True Yuan, due to the dual cultivation of the Yuan Body, the combat power is far superior to that of the same level. But if they really encounter the Lingyuan Realm, even if it is only the early stage of the Lingyuan, whether they can get out safely or otherwise, who can be sure that they have only one opponent, and it just so happens that what Russell guessed is only the early stage of the Lingyuan?

Talking to Russell, the uneasiness in Sha Li's heart became more and more intense, especially after remembering the dream that didn't seem to have a good meaning this morning.

He wanted to ask Russell to find the traces of Kaifeng and Zhiyu. But at this moment, the island guard on duty today entered the house to report.

"Captain, there is a loose cultivator outside the door, and he said he wants to see you. ”

"See me?" When Russell first heard the first half of the sentence, he thought that the loose cultivator had come to report the disappearance of the islanders again. But Na Sanxiu said that he wanted to see him, maybe things would not be so simple. After all, if you just came to report the crime, the island guard on duty would record it directly.

Russell's eyes rolled slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and asked the island guard, "He, he said he wanted to see me by name?"

Na Daowei didn't react to the meaning of Russell's question for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, Fang Na Sanxiu did say that he wanted to see Deputy Captain Luo, which was different from the Sanxiu who came to report the case before. Not only did he know Russell's name, but he also seemed to be well aware of Russell's position in the Silver Beach detachment.

"Back to the captain, the man did say that he wanted to see 'Deputy Captain Luo'. ”

I don't know if it's a coincidence, Russell glanced at Sha Li intentionally or unintentionally. And Sha Li also happened to meet his eyes at this time.

"Let him in. ”

The island guard first answered the call, and soon led a man of about fifty years old into the house.

"Who are you, where are you from, why do you want to see me?" Russell asked as he stared at the man.

When the man entered the house, he only walked with his head down, as if he was afraid of making eye contact. And after seeing Russell, there was some fear in his eyes.

"It's just a casual cultivator under the Tiger Lying Mountain, what's the name...... I don't think Vice Captain Luo has heard of it. Although the man spoke to Russell, his gaze was a little evasive.

"Tiger Lying Mountain?" Russell's eyes condensed slightly, "Tiger Lying Mountain is in the north, although it is between the defense area of Silver Beach and Chiwan, but it is under the jurisdiction of the Chiwan Defense Zone, why did you come to my Silver Beach Defense Area?"

Sha Li knew that there was an abandoned Jinshi mine in this Crouching Tiger Mountain, which attracted many scattered cultivators to gather. Although it is said that a waste mine is not looked down upon by the big families in the west of the island, it is better than nothing for many casual cultivators. If you can find a little high-quality red brocade in the waste mine, it is tantamount to a windfall from heaven. Of course, because wolves have more meat and less meat, they compete openly and secretly, and even kill people and sell goods from time to time.

The man seemed to hear the interrogation in Russell's words, and unconsciously lowered his head slightly, and even lowered his voice: "Here, there is something to be handed over to ...... Return it to Vice Captain Luo. ”

He reached out and took out a turquoise oblate brocade stone from his waist and carefully handed it to Russell.

"Hongyin?" Sha Li recognized the thing at a glance.

A look of surprise flashed on Russell's face, he took the "Hongyin" with one hand, took out his own "Hongyin" from his body with the other, and was silent, as if to confirm the identity of the holder of the "Hongyin" handed to him by the man.

As the two "Hongyin" flashed faint green rays at the same time, Russell's expression changed instantly, and even his voice was a little chilly:

"Where did you get this?"
