The distance of thousands of miles is nothing to the current Sun Haochi, and it only took him half an hour to come to the vicinity outside Tianlong City.

Came to the gate of the city, paid a few low-level spirit stones to enter the city, and according to the route said by the staff in charge of the task release of the Shenlong Academy, Sun Haochi quickly found the residence of the client, Ma Lin.

It was introduced that Ma Lin was a businessman, but Sun Haochi looked at the magnificent manor in front of him, but guessed that the other party was definitely not just a businessman.

Tianlong City can be said to be one of the relatively large cities in the Shenlong Continent, if a businessman does not have the support of a cultivator behind him, no matter how hard he works, he will not be able to buy such a large courtyard here, not to mention that the entrusted reward is a top-level spirit stone, even if it is some small cultivation sects, it is estimated that it is difficult to get a top-level spirit stone as a reward.

Walking into the gate of the courtyard, Sun Haochi's eyes met two young men in black, both of whom had the realm of the fifth or sixth layer of the Qi Transformation Period, and when he saw them, he was even more sure that this cliff called Ma Lin was not as simple as a businessman.

"This place is a private courtyard, and no one is allowed to enter. The two black-clothed young men had unkind faces, and one left and one right stopped Sun Haochi.

Sun Hao smiled chi, stretched out his hand and took out the Brave Token from his arms, "I am from the Brave Association, and I received the commission issued by Ma Lin, the owner of this annex, and I came here to ask him some questions about the entrusted task." ”

The black-clothed young man on the left carefully checked the brave token that Sun Hao had handed over lately, and his face softened slightly, "You wait here for a while, I'll go in and say goodbye." ”

Sun Hao shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and after waiting in place for a long time, the departing black-clothed young man came out, followed by a chubby middle-aged man wearing silk and satin.

"This fat man must be the client, right?" Sun Haochi thought so, and the fat man who came over was the first to speak, "Not long ago, the people from the Brave Association in the city told me that someone took over the entrusted task, presumably Your Excellency is Lin Chong who took over the entrusted task. ”

"That's right, I'm Lin Chong. Sun Haochi nodded and directly expressed his intention, "I came here to ask, where did your son go missing, and if there are any enemies in the city." ”

The client, Ma Lin, didn't seem to have the intention of inviting Sun Hao to go in late, and after being silent in place for a while, he took out a top-grade spirit stone and handed it over, and said, "When I commissioned someone from the Brave Association not long ago, I already canceled it, and since Your Excellency is here, it is not good to let Your Excellency run in vain, and this spirit stone will be given to Your Excellency as a reward." ”

Sun Hao didn't go to pick up the top-grade spirit stone in Ma Lin's hand for a long time, at this time, he always felt in his heart that Ma Lin in front of him seemed to have something deliberately hidden, so simple to get a top-grade spirit stone, and the fool also knew that there must be some ulterior secrets in it.

As for why Marin is so generous, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all when he loses his child. What he was hiding, Sun Haochi couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that Sun Hao was unmoved, Ma Lin smiled and groped out another bag from his arms, and then opened the bag in public and handed it over, there were hundreds of high-grade spirit stones inside.

"I also know that there is something wrong with letting Your Excellency run for nothing, and these are all due to Ma's apologies. ”

Sun Haochi sneered in his heart, this fat man's shot is really generous, he just ran away and didn't do anything, so he was in such a hurry to give a big gift and wanted to drive himself away, which was too abnormal.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a seven or eight-year-old boy walking towards him out of the corner of his eye, and then asked Marin, "I would venture to ask, how many children do you have?"

Marin was a boy who was walking with his back to him, so he didn't know that the boy was walking here, so he replied without thinking, "Ma has only one son." ”

"Then is your son seven or eight years old and a little fat?"

When Marin heard this, his face was obviously shocked, "How do you know, could it be that Your Excellency has seen my lost child?"

"Hmph, what a lost child. Sun Haochi sneered and pointed behind Ma Lin, "You look back and take a good look at who is standing behind you." ”

When Marin looked back and saw the boy, his face changed suddenly, and then he gave the two black-clothed youths a look, and the two black-clothed youths directly took the boy back to the house.

"That, this is not my son, this is my housekeeper's child. ”

Sun Haochi took out the pipe and tobacco leaves slowly, filled himself with a bag of cigarettes and lit it, took a puff and spit the cigarette on Marin's face, and looked at him with a smile, "Although I don't know why you are lying, I don't want to know why, I just want to know why so many children are lost, why only your children have come back safely?"

The boy who showed up just now is indeed Marin's lost son, as for why his son is at home, it is because he made a deal with the demon clan who kidnapped his son, and this deal is that he captured dozens of other people's children in exchange for his own son.

If the people of the City Lord's Mansion knew that those lost children were captured by him and given to the demons, I am afraid that it will be a dead end for him at that time, which is why he wants to withdraw the commission, and would rather pay a large sum of spirit stones than send Sun Hao away.

Sun Hao was silent when he saw Ma Lin's face covered with cold sweat, and basically guessed that the other party must have reached some agreement with the demons, otherwise it would be impossible for only his son to be taken away and released back, as for what the agreement was, he still couldn't figure it out.

He finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, put away his pipe, and looked directly at Marin in front of him, "God knows that you know and I know, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of the other children, I can promise not to tell you about it." “

"This ......" Ma Lin was a little moved, but in the end he endured it and didn't say anything, as if Sun Hao would regret it later.

This guy is very cautious, hehe......

Sun Haochi snickered in his heart, and then raised two fingers to the sky, "I swear by the way of heaven, no matter what you say next, only you know and I know, if there is a third person who knows, I will die on the street." “

Although Ma Lin was not a cultivator, he also knew what it meant by the Heavenly Dao, and after taking a few deep breaths, he told everything about the matter.

The children who were lost in the C-level mission were all captured by Marin and given to the demons in exchange for his son, and the families of those children were all sent by him to kill them, the reason was to let them point the signs at the demons instead of themselves.

After Sun Haochi listened, he said that he didn't have any expression, but he hated it to death in his heart, and he couldn't wait to punch Marin in front of him to death on the spot.

Leaving Marin's courtyard, Sun Haochi flew towards the jungle north of Tianlong City.

According to Marin, there is an altar-like building in the center of the jungle, and those children are tied there, as for what the demon wants those children to do, he privately paid dozens of high-grade spirit stones and learned from a demon that the demon seems to be using those children to do it, and sacrifice those children to the demons in the mouth of the demon clan.

"The Demon Altar will not be opened until the night when the yin qi is at its peak in the fifteenth month, and there is still more than half a day before the fifteenth, and those kidnapped children must still be alive now, so I have to hurry up and go over to investigate......
