As he spoke, Yuan Li casually threw the cloth bag in his hand on the table, and the mouth of the cloth bag was unrestrained, revealing the corner of one of the gold ingots.

The Purple Sect Master, who was originally bowing down to Yuan Li, saw this scene and couldn't help but stand up.

When he went to the table, he opened the bag with a look of infatuation, and looked at the seven gold ingots in the cloth bag, and a trace of madness flashed in his eyes.

However, after all, this Purple Sect Master was an old fox who had experienced strong winds and waves, and he quickly realized his gaffe.

Immediately, his face changed like a flip book, and he returned to his previous solemn complexion, put down the cloth bag in his hand, turned to Yuan Li, and said politely:

"Understood, please wait here for a while, stay here and gather the manpower you need, and you can come forward and describe the appearance of the target woman in detail. ”

After saying that, the Purple Sect Master paced towards the door without looking back.

Then...... After another lot of tedious work, the side of the Purple Sect also poured out, called out hundreds of people, and launched a unified search for the woman in red.

Counting the manpower hired by the Law Enforcement Hall and the Yuan family, this time, in order to search for this lonely woman in red, a total of more than 1,000 people, nearly 2,000 human resources were invested.

In this way, everyone rushed to the woman in red, and at this moment, in the huge Purple Sect, only in the square, there were still some lowly cultivation students.

and some mediocre people who are not lowly in cultivation, but they are not high-energy.

Another is that Yuan Li, who only knew pleasure and did nothing overnight, transformed into a normal person who began to work on real things.

At this moment, he stood alone outside the main gate of the Purple Sect, watching with anticipation: the news he was looking forward to could fall from the sky and bring him a surprise.

But it wasn't until two hours later that no one involved in the operation was returned, within the time limit.

Yuan Li's long-awaited figure couldn't help but ...... It gives people a hint of loneliness and gloom.

After a while, under Yuan Li's orders, the subordinates of the Yuan family, who were the first to launch a search for the woman in red, began to rush to the door of the Purple Sect one after another.

"There will be a lot of people coming back later, so you don't have to be honest here.

Spread around here, don't go too far, wait for the final result to come out, and let me arrange it. ”

Yuan Li just glanced at these panting and sweaty Yuan family subordinates with his eyes, and then said coldly.

He didn't interrogate them one by one, after all, if there was any result, they wouldn't be as silent as defeated dogs.

But this does not mean that he does not care about the final outcome of this matter, otherwise, he would not have stood still at this gate for two hours.

Even if everyone involved in this operation rushed back as promised two hours later, the operation was almost fruitless.

He was still motionless, standing silently, which was enough to see that he attached great importance to this operation.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the boundless darkness silently engulfed the entire world.

Tonight, in the sky above this small city, there is no bright starlight, or a clear bright moon, only the endless silence and depression, raging unscrupulously......

Inside an inn

Lying flat on the bed, the woman in red who was sleeping soundly did not realize how much trouble she was about to face.

After a long time, the woman in red gradually woke up and sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes.

Then, he slowly moved to the side of the bed, and shook his head slightly, as if trying to wake himself up quickly.

"It's ...... When......"

In the guest room where I couldn't see my fingers, looking out the window: the boundless night, the woman in red subconsciously thought with a confused face.

Then, he slowly urged the energy in his body to burst out to the outside world, and in an instant, he lit several spiritual lamps hanging on the wall, and the translucent red light emitted also illuminated the entire guest room in an instant.

Looking at the embarrassed situation on her body again, the woman in red completely sobered up, and only then did she recall what she should do next.

Recalling the experience of staying in the guest room during the day today, she remembered that after she came in, she fell asleep directly after lying down on the bed.

There was no eating, and there was no washing.

Thinking of this, she immediately stood up from the side of the bed, hastily put on the slap board equipped in the guest room, and opened the door and walked out.

When I went to the counter, I took out the room card and put it on the counter, and said to the shopkeeper: "Let's bring this room two dishes, one soup, and two bowls of rice." ”

"Okay, it's thirteen dollars. ”

The shopkeeper put the room card of the room where the woman in red was staying in the bamboo tube on the side, and said to the woman in red with sophistication.

The woman in red didn't waste much of her expression, she just took out thirteen copper coins from her waist, gently placed them on the counter, and then turned around and prepared to leave.

is such an ordinary person, whether it is the woman in red or the shopkeeper, she has gone through many processes.

But this time, the man on duty broke the peace without warning.

I saw him, and suddenly shouted to the woman in red who was about to leave: "Hey, girl, don't leave yet, there is something...... I felt compelled to tell you about it. ”

Hearing this, she turned around again, returned to the counter, and said lightly, "What's the matter?"

Seeing the woman in red turn around, the man in charge of the shopkeeper also continued: "That's it...... Not long before you came down to order food this time, a man in the uniform of the Yuan family came to ask about your whereabouts, and he claimed to be one of your relatives.

Then...... I didn't think much of it, so I just said it truthfully, and he didn't go straight to you after hearing it, but pondered for a moment and then walked back.

Later, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, this subordinate of the Yuan family came to find a lonely woman, and claimed to be her relative.

After telling him, he went home without any performance......

I thought of the fat Yuan family, who was arrogant and unreasonable, and only knew pleasure and adultery.

I always felt that this should not be a good thing, and I was ready to take the initiative to tell you as soon as possible.

But seeing that you just came down from upstairs, I will remind you at this time.

Since it's about you, you should know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, if you haven't had any dealings with the Yuan family at all, they'll take the initiative to find you.

Then you must run away quickly, because this eighty percent is the waste material, I don't know when I was eyeing you, so I sent someone to find you.

Their Yuan family has a lot of wealth, and even the Law Enforcement Hall can't do anything to them, if that's the case, you have to leave quickly.

This small town is on the edge of this county, you hire a horse-drawn carriage directly, and when you get out of the city, you will have an uninhabited wilderness and dense forest.

Presumably, even if their Yuan family's power is huge, it is impossible to waste resources on looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

"Well, thanks for the reminder, but...... I do have a relative who is very good to me who is employed by the Yuan family, no matter why he came to me, it will definitely not be harmful to me anyway, so I won't bother you. ”

Seeing him say this, the face of the woman in red still did not fluctuate as always, but after lightly replying to such a paragraph, she turned around and walked back.

When she was about to go upstairs, she seemed to remember something, and said again without looking back: "By the way, I'm going to take a shower later, and after you bring the food, you don't have to look for me, just put it on the table." ”

"Well, got it. ”

was about to send the bamboo tube with the room card to the kitchen shopkeeper on duty, and when he heard her order, he quickly responded.

In fact, the so-called "relative" who interrogated the whereabouts of the woman in red had nothing to do with her, and was just a subordinate of the Yuan family who participated in the search for her.

And the woman in red, the reason why she wanted to make up that lie just now was just to prevaricate and end this conversation.

From the words of the shopkeeper just now, she had already learned that in addition to the Law Enforcement Hall coming to arrest her, the Yuan family's personnel were also looking for her.

But she also drew conclusions from the fact that the subordinates of the Yuan family could clearly depict her characteristics: In last night's slaughter, there was a fish that slipped through the net.

Although she didn't know who the fish that slipped through the net was, she changed her mind.

After she heard that the Yuan family was also tracking down her whereabouts, she did not flee immediately, not because she was not afraid of their hunting.

On the contrary, she is ready to take the initiative to launch a slaughter against the Yuan family!

Moreover, it is not the first time that she has arisen and implemented such thoughts and behaviors!

Purple Sect

As more and more people rushed back, the news that Yuan Li was looking forward to still did not come, and the look on his face became more and more gloomy.

Until, the people who rushed back occupied the huge open space inside and outside the Purple Sect and the surrounding corners.

The scattered cultivators hired by the Yuan family, the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Purple Sect were all like defeated dogs, silently returning empty-handed.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Li was not as everyone had expected: after seeing that he had put so much thought and energy into it, he was furious or had other similar performances.

just had a gloomy face, and lightly spit out such a bland sentence that could not see joy and sorrow: "Since this is the case, let's disperse, it's just that I hope you remember: as long as you find the trace of the woman in red, you must come to the Yuan Mansion as soon as possible to inform me."

Also, the wanted warrant that 'as long as you can bring the body of the woman in red, whoever you are, you can get two gold ingots from me'.

Until it is confirmed that the woman in red is dead, it is permanently valid. ”

Seeing his bland performance, everyone on the field was a little stunned for a while.

But after a while, everyone reacted, and bustled away from this place of silence filled with oppressive atmosphere.

"Don't leave yet, talk to me about some trivial things about cultivation.

Now, in addition to shouldering the heavy burden of the Yuan family and being the head of the family.

I still want to...... Set foot in this field that I have always refused to touch. ”

Just as the Sect Master of Ziyu was also about to leave, Yuan Li washed the gloom on his face and stopped him lightly.
