Bai Feng's speech just now was suddenly interrupted by Qi Jiang, and he didn't react for a while, until Shen Ping finished inspecting Wang Cangyou's corpse, and then he came to his senses.

Bai Feng asked, "You mean...... This is your junior brother, but he obviously doesn't have a spiritual root! And he also has scars left by wind magic on his body, could it be that there is another wind attribute spiritual root here?"

When did the rare spirit root become so rotten? his own son activated one, and two popped up at once.

"That's where I wondered. Shen Ping's tone was still very light, but Bai Feng could clearly feel the coercion emanating from Shen Ping's body, and Shen Ping was suppressing his strong anger.

"White City Lord, what the hell is going on?" Qi Jiang asked sharply, holding back the anger in his heart.

Bai Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know the details yet, but I've already asked someone to find someone to report the crime, and I should be able to come soon." When the person who reported the crime came, let's ask what happened. ”

In just a few words, Bai Feng was already full of questions. How did this Wang Cangyou die? Why did his spiritual root disappear? Who is the other wind mage? Which other fire mage is there, and which side is it? With a stomach full of questions, Bai Feng and Shangguan Han arranged for Shen Ping's master and apprentice to stay tonight, while waiting with them for his subordinates to bring the informant.

After more than half an hour, just when Qi Jiang was about to wait impatiently, a subordinate hurriedly brought a man with the appearance of a peasant.

"Report to the lord of the city, this person is the person who reported the crime at that time, and his subordinates have brought him. ”

"Hmm. Bai Feng waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.

"Are you the one who reported the crime? Hurry up and tell everything that happened in the morning, what you saw and heard, and don't hide anything!" Qi Jiang saw that the person had finally come, and he couldn't sit still anymore, so he stepped forward and pulled the peasant up.

When this peasant saw this battle, he was immediately startled, and said tremblingly: "Okay······ Good adults, small ones will never dare to hide it. ”

The farmer then began to recount the scene he had encountered this morning.

According to the farmer, this morning he had just gone out to look in the fields when suddenly there was a quarrel in the sky. He suddenly felt a little strange, where did the sound come from in the sky? Could it be that the current mages and adults have studied flying magic? The peasant raised his head with doubts, and saw two people, one black and one white, floating in the air. One black and one white here refers to the color of the clothes, one person is wearing a white robe, the other is dressed in black, and even the face is covered with a black mask, I don't know what the purpose is.

When the peasant looked up, the man in white was pinching the neck of the man in black and asking something at the same time. However, the two were too far away from him at the time to hear what they were saying. However, after a while, I don't know what happened, the man in black suddenly broke the hand that the white-robed man was pinching his neck, and pinched the white-robed man with his backhand.

The white-robed man was startled, and raised his hand to cast several magic arrays. However, the man in black moved one step ahead of him, and several magic arrays quickly formed to surround the two of them, and then exploded violently, and a figure covered in smoke fell from the sky. The peasant was half frightened and hurriedly hid in his house. After he heard no movement outside, he dared to cautiously open the door and walk out.

"I opened a crack in the door and looked out, and saw the man in white lying down the street not far from my house, but the man in black was gone. I went over to check and found that there was no movement, so I probed the man's snort and found that the man was dead, so I reported the crime. The peasant finally finished what had happened, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Was there an explosion?" Bai Feng recalled, at that point in time, it seemed that he had heard some sounds from the west. However, although he issued a ban in the White City, he couldn't control what happened outside the city. Every day, there are constant battles around the White City, whether it is from inside the city or from outside. Suddenly, it was normal for a big movement to come from any direction, and the location of the crime was the outskirts of Baicheng, so Bai Feng didn't pay much attention to it at that time. Now that I think about it, that's when the crime happened?

"Are you sure you have nothing to hide from everything?" Qi Jiang stared at the peasant and said to Bai Feng, "Bai City Lord, my junior brother can still survive today when he sent out the distress signal two days ago, which shows that his strength is not much different from that man in black, or only slightly inferior. But today, the junior brother has obviously pinched the man in black, why is it so easy to be restrained by the backhand? This doesn't make sense. ”

"Definitely. Bai Feng also agreed with Qi Jiang's statement, and said to the peasants kneeling on the ground, "You really didn't miss anything important?"

The coercion from the two superiors made the peasant's face extremely pale, and in a moment he was sweating profusely, and his voice was a little trembling, "My lord! The three adults! The villain really didn't hide it! What the villain said was true!"

Bai Feng looked at the farmer and thought about it inwardly. After a while, Bai Feng waved his hand and let the peasant go down. As if he had been granted amnesty, the peasants hurriedly kowtowed and stumbled out.

"Eh, why did you let him go like this?" Qi Jiang suddenly became anxious, got up and wanted to go out to chase.

Bai Feng stretched out his hand to stop Qi Jiang and said, "He is just a civilian, it is impossible for him to dare to hide anything under the coercion of a few of us." ”

"But!" Qi Jiang still wanted to go out and chase after him.

"Qi Jiang!" Shen Ping, who hadn't said anything for a long time, also spoke out to stop him, "The White City Lord is right, don't rush to the doctor." ”

Seeing Shizun speak, Qi Jiang retreated unwillingly.

Shen Ping saw that Qi Jiang had retreated, so he turned his head to Bai Feng and said, "Even so, there are still many doubts: First, who is that man in black? Why did he attack my apprentice? You must know that my second apprentice went out this time is only half a trivial matter, and he didn't bring any treasures on him, so there is nothing to worry about. Second, what happened outside after the civilian took refuge in the house?

Bai Feng hurriedly replied: "I have already investigated this matter, the people living in that street are all farmers, and they all went to the fields outside the city when the incident happened, and that person just now only went out so late because there was something at home today that delayed him for some time." And today Bai Cheng happened to hold an activation ceremony, and the rest of the people went to the activation tower to watch, so he was indeed the only one on the entire street at that time. ”

"Such a coincidence?" Qi Jiang began to speculate again, "Could it be that the perpetrator knew that Baicheng was holding an activation ceremony today, so he dared to do it in the city with such fanfare?"

"It's a possibility. Bai Feng agreed, "If it weren't for the fact that the man went out late just now, no one would have seen what he did." ”

Shen Ping also nodded, and said, "Then the White City Lord, who else knows about the activation ceremony held in Baicheng today, except for the locals of Baicheng?"

This question is very important, if the perpetrator really used the activation ritual to kill people, then he must be very familiar with this matter, at least investigated. However, at the same time, there is no clue to be found on this issue, and the timing of the activation ceremony in each place is basically fixed. Just ask the locals and you'll know right away, and it's safe to say that anyone who has been to the White City before is likely to know about it. In this way, the scope is too large to be investigated.

"There's one more problem. Qi Jiang said again, "How did the wind magic scars on Cangyou's body come about? Since there were only two people at that time, and the other person was a fire mage, then there would not be a second wind mage besides Cangyou, could it be that this injury was not caused by himself? And most importantly, why did Cangyou's spiritual root disappear! Although it doesn't matter if the spiritual root is not spiritual after death, it is also a strange thing! Even if the spiritual root is taken away by any method, what use can it be? The spiritual root cannot be transplanted, which was experimented by ancestors hundreds of years ago. ”

"Take away the spiritual root, transplant it?" Bai Feng grasped these two words and kept thinking back and forth, "The times are changing, and the research on magic is also progressing day by day, will anyone develop a magic that can rob other people's spiritual roots?"

"What!" Shen Ping and Qi Jiang were suddenly shocked, they were frightened by Bai Feng's bold conjecture. Even Shangguan Han, who had been quietly watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but cover his mouth in disbelief.

Qi Jiang couldn't help but paced back and forth in the room, his face full of anxiety. Finally, he stopped and said to Shen Ping: "Master, if the White City Lord's guess is true, it is a big deal! We need to go back to the sect immediately to report to the sect master!"

Shen Ping is worthy of being an old man who has lived for nearly a hundred years, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves? At this time, he seemed very calm and calm.

"Since it's a delusional speculation, there's no need to be too anxious. Clean up for your junior brother and find a place to bury him. Then we will go back to the sect and want the sect master to report back. ”

"Yes······" Although Qi Jiang was annoyed in his heart, he had to admit that what his master said was reasonable, since he had no clue, let's settle his junior brother's body first, he couldn't always catch the murderer, so he kept hanging his junior brother's body here, right?

"I will definitely find you!" Picking up Wang Cang's corpse, Qi Jiang thought silently in his heart.
