The merchant was laughing with the nun when he looked up and saw a figure appear outside the door. The merchant was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask the person who came, but when he saw the other party stretching out his hand, he pushed the door without hesitation.

The merchant frowned: "Who is it, do you understand the rules here, who let you come in without permission." ”

"Oh, the rules! I'd like to see what the rules are. The voice sounded, and the person came directly into the door and stood in front of the merchant.

Listening to this familiar voice, the merchant's expression froze. The corners of his mouth twitched a little, and a smile appeared on his face: "It turned out to be Miss, I thought it was who came." I don't know what the young lady is looking for me, is it to buy a few more treasures? ”

Again, treasures don't need it. I'm here to ask you a question. Maiyo spoke slowly.

The merchant was stunned: "There is still a problem, although the young lady speaks, as long as the little one knows, she will never hide it." Of course, our previous rules remain the same, and Miss still needs to show some sincerity. ”

"Sincerity, what sincerity?" Wu You glanced at the merchant.

The merchant smiled: "It's very simple, a question is a spirit stone, this is a very fair price." ”

"Yes." Maiyo nodded slightly.

"Okay, Miss can ask."

Wuyou flipped his palm, took out a spirit stone, and threw it directly into the merchant's hand: "Tell me, why are you here, and why are you selling treasures to me?" ”

"I'm a merchant, so naturally I want to sell treasures everywhere, and when I met Miss before, it was just a coincidence." The merchant spoke in a flat tone and responded casually.

Maiyu has been keeping an eye on the merchant. Seeing that although his tone was flat, it was difficult to hide a trace of tension in his eyes. Wu You snorted coldly, and with one move, he instantly pulled the merchant in front of him.

"Let me ask you again, who told you to sell it here, and who told you to hand over the fragment of the treasure to me? If you dare to hide it again, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”

"The little ones are telling the truth!" The merchant hurriedly argued.

"yes, I don't think so." Wu You snorted coldly, and Xiu Wei spread out and pressed suddenly.

The merchant's cultivation is not high. was pressed by the coercion of this golden immortal. Fall directly to your knees. His face turned pale in an instant, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"To say or not to say?" Wu You glanced at him and asked coldly.

"The little ones are telling the truth, if you don't believe it. Just kill me. "The merchant is actually very tough. Gritted his teeth and insisted on his words.

Wuyou's eyes flashed: "Don't you say yes." Then I won't kill you. I will abolish your cultivation, take all your treasures and spirit stones, and throw you to a corner of the Soul City. Let you beg on the streets to get back to your former life. ”

As soon as "you" heard this, the merchant's face changed.

Everyone has their own weaknesses, but some of them are exposed, while others are deeply hidden. The merchant is not afraid of death, after all, he is in the land of the underworld, and there is no difference between him and the dead. Even if he dies again, for him, it is only equivalent to liberation.

Therefore, Wuyou is threatened with death, and the merchant does not have much fear in his heart. But begging on the street and being a beggar is poking at his weakness. Thinking about the tragic experience of the year, the merchant's face turned white again, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing that the words were effective, the corners of Wuyou's mouth hooked: "Say, if it is delayed any longer, I really have to do it." When the time comes, your cultivation will be wasted, and it's too late to talk about it. One more thing, don't think about self-judgment, in front of me, you don't have that qualification yet! ”

The merchant couldn't move, and his cultivation was completely suppressed, even if he wanted to blow himself up, he didn't have this opportunity. After a little entanglement, the merchant sighed helplessly: "Okay, I said!" Miss guessed right, the reason why the little one came here this time was not her wish. ”

"Who told you to come?" Maiyu asked.

"Yes." Since the merchant has decided to say it, he will no longer hide it, and he will tell the reason for the matter when he opens his mouth.

But just as he opened his mouth and just spit out a word, his words stopped abruptly. His expression stiffened even more, pausing at the moment when he opened his mouth.

Wu You was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the merchant: "Who is it, why don't you say it?" ”

The merchant didn't react, as if he hadn't heard of Wuyou's words.

"Not good!" Wuyou's face changed, and his spiritual sense swept over the merchant, and he found that he had long since lost his breath. Even the soul in the body was cornered by external forces and became a chaotic existence.

Qin Yijian and the others were originally waiting outside the door, but when they heard Wuyou's low voice, they hurriedly stepped into the door.

"What's wrong?"

Wuyou shook his head, and there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth: "He was just about to tell the truth, but he was killed first." ”

"Silenced in front of you, don't you notice it at all?" Qin Yijian frowned.

With the cultivation of Wuyou, even if the Xuan Immortal master makes a move, it is impossible not to notice it at all. But now, the merchant died in front of her like this, but he didn't cause the slightest reaction, and the other party's cultivation must be shocking.

After thinking about it, Qin Yijian walked closer to check on the merchant's corpse, and nodded slightly: "He was killed by an extremely thin magic weapon that penetrated his eyebrows and shook the sea of consciousness." ”

"No matter how delicate the magic weapon is, it needs to be swept through the air, and it is impossible not to have the slightest trace. Unless the person who made the move has a very high cultivation level, and his location is extremely close, I can kill this merchant without realizing it. With a deep groan, she glanced at the nun who was also limp on the ground.

This female cultivator was originally playing and having fun with the merchant, but after Wuyou appeared, she was already shocked to the ground. Her cultivation is not high, and she doesn't have too many overreactions, so she was forgotten by Wuyou. At this time, the merchant died suddenly, and Wuyou naturally regarded her as the first suspect.

The female correction curled up and trembled, and when she saw Wu You looking at her, her face turned pale in an instant: "Shangxian, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I still hope that Shangxian will see it." ”

"Did I say it had anything to do with you? Why are you so nervous! Wuyou's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand to detain the female cultivator in front of him, and his spiritual sense carefully probed a little on his body, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Your cultivation, though, isn't too high. But in this Soul City, there are top beings among the people who are engaged in your profession. With your kind of cultivation, it is already a bit abnormal to engage in this profession, let alone serve and please a merchant for the sake of a mere spirit stone.

Tell me, who arranged for you to come here, and for what purpose? Does the death of this merchant have anything to do with you?

If you can cooperate, then everything is easy to say, if you insist on concealing it. Then don't blame me for being unkind. Take my cultivation as a result. It is completely possible to forcibly break through your sea defense and look through your past memories. In this way, I will be able to get everything I need, but you will not be able to keep your sanity. It's not something I can control. ”

Heard Maiyo threatened. The nun turned pale. After hesitating for a while, he slowly spoke: "What Shangxian said is right, I am indeed ordered by people. That's when I came here and dragged the merchant away. ”

"Who is the one who gave the order?" Maiyu asked.

The female cultivator shook her head: "I don't know his name, and I can't see his appearance clearly, I only know that he is a male cultivator, and his cultivation is much higher than mine." It was he who found the little girl and asked me to hold back the merchant here until someone arrived. ”

Wu You was stunned: "Are you serious?" ”

"The little girl's words are true, and she will never dare to deceive at all. If there is any falsehood, the little woman will be damned! The nun gritted her teeth and spoke.

Looking at the female cultivator's appearance, it didn't seem like a lie, which made Wuyu stunned. According to what the female cultivator said, the other party is asking the female cultivator to keep the footsteps of the merchant, isn't this helping herself. If it weren't for the entanglement of this female cultivator, this merchant would have left this place a long time ago, and if he wanted to find it, there would be no possibility at all.

Although the merchant was killed, he left some clues, at least a warning to himself. Let yourself know that there are always people trying to watch around you.

"Shangxian, I have already said everything I know. Asking the immortals to see that it is not easy for the little girl to practice, and she is also a woman, so let the little girl go this time, right? Seeing that Wuyou was silent, the woman pleaded again.

Wuyou glanced at the woman and waved his hand slightly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you can leave." ”

Hearing the words of the dance, the female cultivator breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't dare to delay at the moment, and after saluting the dance, he walked out of the room. Then he cast his form, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Qin Yijian didn't say much, until the figure of the female cultivator disappeared, and then he slowly spoke: "Can you guess the identity of the other party?" ”

"I don't know." Wuyou shook his head very dryly, "There are too few clues here, and the only one who knows the specific ones has been killed." It seems that we should be more careful in our actions in the future. ”

Qin Yijian nodded: "Yes, you have to be careful, otherwise if you fall into the trap of the other party, it will not be so easy to get out." By the way, You'er, why did you intimidate the merchant so much just now, how do you know about his past? ”

Wu You smiled: "This is simple, judging from his habit of treating money as his life, he must have lived a normal life before, at least he will not be too rich." And when I swept through it, I noticed that his knees were slightly deformed, and his skin was slightly darker than the rest. By my reasoning, this should have been caused by him kneeling for a long time.

A man who was once poor, fell to his knees for a long time, and was so enthusiastic about external objects, this has already exposed his past.

Whether it is a mortal or a monk, once the situation improves, he will not want to go back to the past. And the unbearable experience in the past has been firmly imprinted in the bottom of my heart and has become a kind of fear from the bottom of my heart. So this merchant is not afraid of death, but he can't bear to live back to his former life again. ”

"I see." Qin Yijian smiled faintly.

"So what do we do next?" Liu Yunjing asked on the side.

Wu You shook his head: "The merchant is dead, once the clues here are broken, let's go to the guardian of the Soul City and let him contact the Qingying brothers and sisters in Guangde Palace." ”

Qin Yijian and the others naturally had no opinion, and then the three of them turned around and returned to the center of the Soul City again. This time they didn't hesitate and pushed the door in.

"Who dares to break in!" Seeing the three of them breaking in, there were several guards in an instant who came up.

Qin Yijian snorted lightly, and was about to speak, but he heard a sudden sound of scolding not far away.

"Don't be rude to the three of you, and you immediately step aside."

Hearing this voice, all the guards were stunned, and they didn't dare to disobey at the moment, so they hurriedly retreated to the side and waited. Where the words sounded, a man in Tsing Yi stepped out, showing a flattering appearance from a distance.

"Oh, I don't know that the three immortals are coming, Hu Sheng has missed the distance, and I hope the three immortals will not blame."

The man's contrivance made the three of them feel a little stunned. However, no matter how you say it, this man named Hu Sheng is in the early stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, and he is the master of the Soul City here, and his identity is extraordinary. Such an existence actually behaved like a small guy in the market, which couldn't help but surprise the three of them.

Hu Sheng didn't care about the stunned expressions of the three people, and walked close and swept the ground with a bow: "Hu Sheng greeted the three immortals." ”

"City Lord Hu doesn't need to be polite, we are here this time, but there are some things to trouble the city lord." Wuyou coughed lightly and said in harmony.

Hu Sheng straightened up and grinned at Wuyou: "There is something to do with the immortals, although the order is, as long as the small one can do it, he will definitely die." Even if the small cultivation is small, it can be reported to the Guangde Hall and asked them to send someone to help. ”

"The words of the city lord, we can't afford it!" Maiyo's eyes flashed and he smiled politely.

Hu Sheng smiled with a smile on his face: "Shangxian is polite, you are kind to my Guangde Palace, and we will not forget it." Helping the immortals do things, it is the time for us to repay them, how can there be words of shirk. ”

"Kind to you? Do you know me? Wu You was stunned.

Hu Sheng nodded: "Of course I know!" Before the return of the Qingying Venerable, he had already informed the hall master of the immortal's rescue. The hall master then passed down an order, but all the disciples of the Guangde Hall should treat each other with kindness when they see the immortals. I have already received a message from the Guangde Hall here, and there is a picture of the immortal on it, so I recognized the identity of the immortal for the first time. ”

"I see." Wu You nodded slightly, and said to Hu Sheng, "City Lord Hu, I want to see the Qingying Venerable, I don't know if you can contact you on your behalf." ”

"There's no problem with this, the Immortal is here for a while, and I'll go and pass the news on to the Qingying Venerable." After Hu Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the side hall where he was before.

At the same time, most of the female cultivators of several servants approached and saluted to Wuyou and the others: "The master ordered, let the slave maid take the three immortals to rest first." ”

"So, it's hard work." Wuyou didn't know how long Hu Sheng would have to contact him, and it was not a way to stay here and wait, so he followed behind these servants and walked towards the welcoming hall not far away.

The area of the welcome hall is not large, but its interior layout is very elegant. The three of them walked in, each found a place to sit down, and then a servant served fragrant tea and fruit. With the cultivation of three people, there is no need for these things outside the body for a long time, but it is also a good enjoyment to satisfy the needs of the tongue. At that moment, the three of them were no longer polite, and each took a drink. (To be continued.) )
