Recently, a strange thing suddenly happened in Flame City, and some ordinary people disappeared inexplicably.

At first, it did not attract people's attention, but when the number of missing people reached dozens of people, it finally attracted everyone's attention.

These missing people are all ordinary people, and they are all ordinary people. They haven't cultivated, and they don't have an enemy or anything like that.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the Flame City, and people were panicked.

Zhao Fei has been alchemy at home recently, and has been cultivating penance. He didn't know it was happening, and no one told him.

After Zhao Zhenduo stayed in Qinghuang Town for a few days, he couldn't stay any longer and hurried to Flame City.

"Zhao Fei, have you heard about the disappearance of many people in Flame City?"

Back home, Zhao Zhenduo hurriedly asked Zhao Fei.

"I haven't heard of it, what's wrong with the third uncle?" Zhao Fei looked at the third uncle's panicked expression, he was a little surprised.

"There are about fifty people missing from Flame City, and they are all ordinary people who have not cultivated. ”

"Who is arresting these ordinary people? They have no money, no cultivation, and no enemies, so how can they disappear for no reason?"

"That's not the point, in this group of missing people, there are more than a dozen people related to our family. ”

"Third uncle, what do you mean by that? Zhao Fei was puzzled.

"Here's the thing, among the more than 50 people missing, there are the parents and relatives of our children in the mountain trial, and the parents of five children are missing. ”

"How could this happen?" Zhao Fei suddenly became vigilant.

"Arrange for someone to go and invite Uncle Xu and Uncle Lin, we have to analyze this matter in detail. ”

It didn't take long for Xu Baichuan and Lin Guozhong to rush over, and everyone got together to start discussing.

"Three days ago, five of the children we went to the mountains for trials had their parents arrested. Now these five children have been closely protected by us, and I always feel that this happened by accident. ”

Zhao Zhenduo expressed his doubts, which attracted everyone's attention.

"More than 50 people are missing, and more than a dozen of them have something to do with our side. Now we can imagine if they are targeting us. Just arresting other people is just a means to cover up. ”

Zhao Fei put forward his own opinions, and then looked at everyone.

"It's just to target us, so why are the parents who are arresting these children? These five children are now all eighth and ninth orders of the Qi Refining Realm. A few of them were the first or second order of the Refining Realm, and if their cultivation threatened him with his parents, they wouldn't be able to keep many secrets at all. ”

This is where Zhao Zhenduo has always been puzzled, if it is said that catching some Zhao family members still has some effect, it is a bit wrong to arrest these people.

Because it doesn't mean much.

"I don't believe it's a coincidence, and it is possible that Xiaofei's assumption is valid. What they are dealing with is us, and what their purpose is still to be discussed. ”

Xu Baichuan also agreed with Zhao Fei.

"What Xiao Fei said makes sense, but we must study their specific purpose and original intention. ”

Lin Guozhong also agreed with Zhao Fei's opinion.

Everyone fell silent again, thinking about each other's intentions.

"Is there a possibility that they are taking the parents of these children in order to isolate us? Scare away some of the people who follow our Zhao family, and at the same time coerce these children to tell them everything they know. The most important thing is to turn some people into their undercover agents and provide them with information for a long time. ”

Zhao Fei said everything he could think, of course, this was all his imagination.

"If they arrest people like this, they will definitely attract our attention, and we will definitely guess that there is no point in going undercover and so on. If it was done by the old ghost, it wouldn't make sense. They did it to us, just to uproot us, and there was no need to do these things that added to the problem. ”

What Zhao Zhenduo said also had a certain amount of truth, and everyone fell silent again.

"Now whatever their purpose, we have to have our own arrangements. The parents who caught these children were definitely not the hands of those people in the God Refining Realm. Being able to reach the God Refining Realm has their own pride, and they disdain to make a move on ordinary people. ”

"I think it should have been done by those people in the Refining Realm, or individual people at the beginning of the Refining Realm. First of all, we have to find them, we have to see people alive and dead to see corpses, and if they are all alive, where are those people hidden? ”

Zhao Fei's decision is considered by everyone to be very reasonable. Whether it is for the Zhao family or not, it is necessary to maintain the stability of Flame City.

"Tomorrow, I will arrange a few Refining Realm powerhouses to start a search throughout the city. Even if you turn the city of flames upside down, you must find them. Although Duan Wuxian has been searching for the past two days, I feel that he has no intentions. His mind is all about us, and he will not have the leisure to save those people. ”

As soon as Xu Baichuan mentioned Duan Wuxian, his face was full of anger.

"Wait, do you think this matter may have something to do with Duan Wuxi?"

Zhao Fei was touched by Xu Baichuan, and he ignored Duan Wuxian.

"No, he is the lord of the city, if he kidnaps or kills the ordinary people under his rule, if the incident at the east window happens, we don't need to do it at all, the emperor will cut him with a thousand knives. ”

Lin Guozhong shook his head, he didn't approve of Zhao Fei's idea. If Duan Wuxian did it, then the meaning of this matter would have changed.

"I suddenly had the idea not to protect those five children and to release them all. Let them go to find their parents, and our people will follow them throughout the whole process, don't let them out of sight, and protect them secretly. ”

Xu Baichuan looked at Zhao Fei and said, "You mean to lure the snake out of the hole?"

"No, I still have a hunch that their purpose is not to beat these kids. It is possible to use this to intimidate other people, and then coerce them to do things for them in private. ”

"This may be true, why didn't we think of it?"

Xu Baichuan slapped his thigh, as if he suddenly understood.

"Now let's think about everything we can think of, if Xiaofei's idea is true, it will be too difficult. We have close to a thousand, and we can't defend against it. ”

Zhao Zhenduo looked embarrassed, and what he said was also the truth.

"The best defense is to attack, you can't defend it like this, you can only find them and pull them out. ”

"Okay, then do what Fei says. Inform the family that is more friendly to us, everyone looks for it together, and everything must be done in secret. We can't let them have a sense of prevention, otherwise those people's lives will be in danger, and they will hide, making it more difficult for us to find them. ”

Everyone nodded after listening to Lin Guozhong's words, and soon arranged according to the plan.

Although the population of Flame City is no longer consistent today, everyone's panic mood cannot be stabilized at all.

Everyone is talking about this topic, every house is closed and locked at night, and no one dares to go out at night anymore.

Duan Wuxian sent many officials and officers and soldiers to patrol the city, and he was also investigating.

For a time, everyone in Flame City was in danger, which had a serious impact on the lives of ordinary people.

Under the arrangement of Zhao Zhenduo and Xu Baichuan, dozens of refining realm powerhouses began to investigate privately in Flame City.

Zhao Fei also gave up cultivation for the time being, and he, Lin Guozhong, Lin Shuang and others also started to look for clues separately.

The five children also came to the City of Flames, asking around for their parents. But what they didn't know was that behind each of them was a God Refining Realm powerhouse.

The group of God Refining Realms cultivated by Zhao Fei are all fourth-order, and there are almost no such masters in the City Lord's Mansion at present.

They deliberately hid their aura, unless it was someone whose realm was far higher than them, and those powerhouses of the same level couldn't find them at all.

The Zhao family and the Xu family were almost dispatched, all the forces that could be dispatched. Now they don't even care about revealing their strength, and the safety of the people comes first.

But for three days, they didn't find a single clue.

The other party seemed to know that they were looking for them, and no one was missing in the past three days, which made Zhao Fei a little uneasy.

Is the opponent well-informed, or are they too smart, and why do they suddenly stop moving?

"That's not the way to go, we don't have so many people and energy to invest, Flame City is too big after all. If they move out of the city now, we won't be able to find out. ”

In the evening, they sat together again to discuss the specific situation, and there were no clues for three days, and everyone was a little anxious.

"If we can't do this, we will issue a notice tomorrow at Tengfei Pharmacy and offer a reward for clues. Whoever gives a clue in everything, we will keep it a secret from him. Once the facts are clarified and the case is solved, we will give a certain reward. ”

Anyway, now that it's open and everyone is in danger, the power of the masses is enormous, and it may work wonders.

Everyone agrees with Zhao Fei's suggestion, and there is no other better way at present.

"Then you have to say the reward first, and the reward must be large enough to attract everyone. The kidnapping of so many people is not something that one or two people can do, and there must be a lot of people. There may be some of them who will betray for the sake of profit, and this possibility is still there. ”

"Xiaofei, just say how to reward, this money is nothing to us. ”

Zhao Zhenduo didn't care what the reward was, and the Zhao family was not short of money.

"Reward ten Qi Refining Pills, five Transformation Realm Pills, three Earth Realm Pills, plus five hundred gold coins. ”

Although they have money and are not short of resources, everyone was still taken aback when Zhao Fei said this reward.

"It's not much, it's worth it to spend this price in exchange for more than fifty lives. The more it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes, and the dog will jump off the wall when it is in a hurry. ”

The next day, a notice was posted at the Tengfei Pharmacy. The Zhao family offered such a generous reward, which made the people of Flame City very moved.

There was nothing to do with the Zhao family, but they took the initiative to stand up and help everyone, which made the entire Flame City people admire.

The huge reward also increased the enthusiasm of everyone, a Qi Refining Realm martial artist, with these pills, coupled with hard cultivation, could reach the fifth order of the Refining Earth Realm after a few years.

The temptation is strong enough for many people to take the plunge and more to get involved in the search for missing persons.

The prestige of the Zhao family has been raised again, and it has far surpassed the City Lord's Mansion.

After Duan Wuxian knew about the Zhao family's notice, he smashed the table in anger, and the Zhao family robbed him of all his prestige.

Angry, but he still has no way to take the Zhao family.

Because what the Zhao family did was a good thing, and the entire people of Flame City supported the Zhao family in doing so, did he dare to say anything now?

Even if he wanted to offer a reward now, he couldn't get the same reward as the Zhao family.

Even if he had, he was reluctant to take it out, which was more painful than cutting his flesh.
