Lu Yi ordered everyone to go down to the ruins of Hecheng to look for clues and see if there was anything valuable so that everyone could judge the time when Hecheng was destroyed and the way of attack. He asked Ren Tuzi if he could judge what level of attack Hecheng had suffered from the buildings that were attacked, and Ren Tuzi carefully looked at a few places that were obviously attacked by powerful spells and told Lu Yi that the blows suffered in these places were not inferior to the power of his own blows, and several places were destroyed by different people, indicating that the people who besieged the city should have several people who were equal to the strength of Human Tuzi.

The radius of Hecheng is only more than thirty miles, and soon everyone searched it carefully, and then returned to Lu Yi to summarize their findings, and came to the unanimous conclusion that Hecheng was destroyed in a raid, and the party involved in the raid should all be spiritual monks, with more than thirty people, and there were at least four ninth-order late-stage monks who took action, and there should be no less than twenty people on the Hecheng side who fought against each other. The incident happened suddenly, the city defense array was not launched, and not many of the residents of the city should be able to escape alive, this should be a premeditated and planned operation, and it was launched at the time of the contract. The battle took place at least thirty years ago, and many of the traces have been blurred, and it is difficult to know more details.

What kind of people and forces can have such a big hand, is it just the spirit stone mine? Probably not, although the scale of that spirit stone mine is not small, it is not worth using so many spirit building monks, looking at this, it is obvious that the attacking party has no intention of leaving anything alive, as if it has a mortal enmity with Hecheng.

Lu Yi quietly asked Tu Zi, but he had heard that the four friends of Songhe had any powerful enemies, and Ren Tu Zi said that he didn't know; Lu Yi asked Tu Zi if he knew the location of the spirit stone mine, and Ren Tu Zi said that he only knew that it was not far from Crane City, but he didn't know the exact location. At this time, Lu Yi was a little dumbfounded, he originally thought that it was possible for the four friends of Songhe to retreat to the spirit stone mine with the help of his own people, and hide with the help of the defensive circle and phantom array there, and he might have some clues when he went to the spirit stone mine to find them, but he never thought that the butcher did not know the specific location of the spirit stone mine, a spirit stone mine hidden by the phantom array was not so easy to find, and Lu Yi did not dare to let his people scatter to look for it, so as not to be misunderstood by the four friends of Songhe or their enemies and cause unnecessary trouble. With so many spiritual monks gathered together, it's too eye-catching, and it's easier for people to misunderstand or cause panic.

What should I do? It's impossible to give up like this, Lu Yi is not reconciled, he gave a brief explanation of the purpose of coming to Hecheng, and then asked everyone to use their brains to help think of what good ideas there are. After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, and after a while, a member of a small sandstone force named He Sanyu, who had never liked to talk much, raised his head and said to Lu Yi: "I think it is better for us to lead the snake out of the hole than we are running around like headless flies." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked up at the stuffy gourd who didn't talk much on weekdays, and only heard He Sanyu further explain: " I thought of a way, Lu Gongzi, you set up a few magic circles in the ruins of Hecheng that can hide the breath, and most of us hid in them, and then left seven or eight people to rebuild the city on the original site of Hecheng, and make the noise as loud as possible, so that if someone on both sides of them will pay attention to the movements of Hecheng from time to time, they will definitely find out about the movement of Hecheng, and then they will send people to check or send people over to do something to our people. If there are very few people who come to check the situation, let's let the exposed people take each other down, and then ask what happened in Hecheng; if there are a lot of people who come and want to do something to our people, then the people who are in ambush in the shadows will appear together to catch the other party off guard, or if the other party's strength is too strong, we can also cover those who are exposed to the surface, everyone will evacuate together, and then turn back to gather more people to clean them up, and even if you feel that you can't bear the other party, you can also pull the people of Dongtuo Kingdom together. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, not to mention, this idea is really good, everyone agreed at the moment, and someone added a few points, such as letting Lu Yi work hard to arrange a few defensive formations, trapping formations or something to increase the insurance coefficient, and how to ambush people in the shadows, where to ambush and so on. Collective wisdom is stronger than the individual after all, and with everyone's collective brainstorming, a strategy to lure the snake out of the hole has taken shape.

Next, everyone selected six early stage cultivators to follow the human butcher to stay in the bright place and start rebuilding Crane City, while the others scattered and hid first, Lu Yi arranged a dry magic circle and then entered it according to the previously agreed position to hide it, Lu Yi was busy arranging several sixth-order defensive formations, trapped formations and attack formations, which was also the first time that he put these sixth-order magic arrays into actual combat after he advanced to the sixth-order array mage. This busy work has been going on for more than half a month, and these days, Ren Tuzi has led the six spiritual monks to clear out all the dregs that cannot be reused in the ruins of Hecheng, and deliberately made a high amount of dust, so that people can see the sky-high dust from afar. Then a few of them gathered the remaining available materials, first built a large mansion, and Lu Yi arranged a magic circle on the mansion, and then with this mansion as the center, they began to push towards the periphery and successively established several courtyards of considerable scale, putting on a shelf for rebuilding the city.

Seven or eight days have passed, and it has been almost a month since Lu Yi and others came to Hecheng, but they still haven't found any traces of people, but although they didn't find any traces, they inadvertently let Tu Zi see a demon beast, which is a rat monster beast that is good at burrowing and hiding traces, it quickly retracted after showing its head far away on the ground, although this action was carried out very carefully and very quickly, but it was still keenly grasped by Tu Zi, a person who always pays attention to the movements around Hecheng. Obviously, this is a pet beast of a human monk, and judging from its seventh-order rank, its owner must be at least a seventh-order monk or higher, and it is even very likely that it is raised by a spiritual monk.

Ren Tuzi quietly spread the news to everyone, so that everyone cheered up, maybe someone will come to the door in the near future.

After that, the mouse would secretly probe his brain every two or three days and then quietly leave, as if watching everyone, more than twenty days passed, and finally in the dark of this day, several uninvited guests came.

Surprisingly, what appeared in front of Ren Tuzi and the others at this moment were three male and female monks who had cultivated in the middle stage of spirit building, and as soon as the three of them came, they were very unceremoniously asked the people who pretended to be stunned: "You are so bold, you dare to rebuild Hecheng! What's the matter? Don't even our Pingshan Demon King take it seriously?"

"Pingshan Demon King?" Ren Tuzi frowned, "Who are the Pingshan Demon Kings that you are talking about?" Forgive me for taking the plunge, I waited for a long way to come here, and saw that there seemed to be a city here, and I don't know why it was razed to the ground, so I thought about rebuilding it to live in seclusion, is there anything else I can't wait for?"

"Hmph! I think you are from outside, otherwise if it is someone nearby, it will lend you a hundred guts, and you will not dare to do such a stupid thing to openly confront our demon king! Quickly tear down all these houses, I will treat this matter as if it never happened, otherwise, hum! Although they are not weak, they don't want to leave unscathed. "This is what one of the three of them, a late-stage ninth-order monk with the same strength as the human butcher, said to the human butcher in an arrogant tone, this person looked arrogant, obviously didn't take the human butcher seriously.

"Oh? This fellow Daoist, forgive the old man for saying a word, can you tell the old man, who is this Pingshan Demon King? How come I have never heard of this person on the ground in the Western Regions? Why is this Crane City destroyed and not allowed to be rebuilt, is there any interesting story in this?"

"Hmph, where did you come from so much nonsense!" At this time, a mean-looking woman standing on the side was impatient, she glanced at the human butcher and the others with disgust, "I want you to destroy the house and leave quickly to give you face, and I don't know whether you are alive or dead, I think you have itchy skin." As soon as the woman's voice fell, she took the lead in raising her hand and pointing, and a golden light went straight to Lu Yi, who was standing at the back of the crowd and had not spoken. She actually planned to pick up this "ant" who was the weakest in cultivation and couldn't even build a spirit, and set an example for her.

With a wave of his hand, the other party's attack disappeared invisibly, "Friend, although this world is the law of the jungle, but to attack a junior who is obviously too weak than himself, or in front of so many of his elders, this is a bit too deceitful, right?"

"What's the point of bullying people too much? If you have the ability, you can also bully me!" The woman saw that the butcher had defused her attack lightly, and she was a little stunned and a little angry, but she also knew that she was definitely not the opponent of the other party, so she did not send her anger to the other party, but just stubbornly said to herself.

"Ji Yu, don't mess around!" The male cultivator who spoke before glared at the woman, turned his head to the human butcher and said: "Your Excellency, you and I are at the same level, and I don't want to be unhappy with Your Excellency, but our demon king has never liked others to disobey its ideas, since you are outsiders, it is not strange for those who don't know about today's affairs, I advise Your Excellency to inquire less, be less nosy, and honestly do what the old man said, and then go away and fly high." ”

As soon as the human butcher heard it, he knew that there was a hidden meaning in these words, since the other party refused to tell it openly, but reminded himself not to stay here for a long time as an outsider, it means that this so-called Pingshan Demon King should not be a good kind. This person let himself leave quickly, and deliberately emphasized the outsiders, doesn't that mean that he only needs to inquire in other nearby cities to learn about the destruction of the Pingshan Demon King and even the Crane City?

At that moment, the human butcher threw his hand at the three of them, "The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, since there is no room for the old man and others here, then we are not uninteresting people, there is no place to stay here, we have a place to stay here, say goodbye!"
