Chapter 183: Strange Light Falls from the Sky
Although the population of Haidong City is only more than 50 million, the city lord's mansion covers an area of very large, roughly estimated to be no less than 200,000 square meters, with pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, winding corridors, and majestic palaces. Everywhere there is an air of wealth.
Mu Zifeng even saw a waterfall, the water was turbulent, the pool was deep and secluded, and the sound of the rushing water could be heard from afar.
It is worthy of being a noble family, this is also a bit too extravagant! Mu Zifeng couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Shen Liu was already surprised, he was also a nobleman with six-colored demon pupils, and his home was a little different from the City Lord's Mansion in Haidong City, that is, the size was a little different, and the level of luxury was about the same.
A group of people, accompanied by Guanghui, soon came to a large hall, which was hundreds of meters high, and in front of it were twenty red pillars of two people hugging each other, each pillar was fifty meters high, making the hall look majestic.
A group of people walked into the main hall, the interior decoration is more luxurious, and at the same time looks majestic, this is the place where Guanghui handles official business every day.
Guanghui bent down and made a gesture of please, Shen Liu and Mu Zifeng glanced at each other, stretched out their hands respectively, and humbled each other, as for Peng Liang and the others, they had already hid behind with interest, although Peng Liang, as the leader of Shengyao Guangshan, had seen Mu Zifeng's strength, he was willing to stay behind, and he didn't dare to say anything to call himself a senior brother and team leader.
After humbling for a while, Mu Zifeng and Shen Liu both sat on the main seat, while Guang Hui and the others consciously sat on the two rows of opposite chairs in the middle of the hall.
There are already servants brought tea and snacks, the tea is the tea of the mountains, the aroma is very refreshing, the dim sum is a delicate dim sum, I don't know what it is made of, a bite is also very delicious.
But everyone didn't have the leisure to drink tea and snacks, and their eyes fell on Guanghui's body, that gaze seemed to have weight, and Guanghui was also trembling, after all, everyone was a demon king, and the coercion that he unconsciously exuded was not something that he, a small ninth-order great magician, could bear.
"Guanghui City Lord, tell me, what's going on?" Shen Liu said indifferently.
"Yes, everyone, let the villain come slowly. Guanghui's posture is also quite low, after the previous scene, he doesn't know if he, the city lord, can still sit firmly, after all, there are several spies under his subordinates, and they are also spies organized by the lord, and he is guilty of the crime of negligence.
Moreover, he was also instigated by the person in the Lord, and invisibly became an accomplice in provoking the battle between Shengyao Guangshan and Shengtianshu Mountain.
Therefore, when he speaks, he is a little apprehensive, a little absent-minded, and a little timid.
"Guanghui City Lord, the previous things are not on you, you don't have too much pressure, as for the affairs of those lords, I will truthfully report to the Lord of the Ten Thousand Pavilion when I go back, I believe that the Lord of the Ten Thousand Pavilion will not wronged you in vain, if you don't make this matter clear, then the rest of the things will be difficult to say." Mu Zifeng raised his eyebrows and spoke solemnly.
"Thank you, Senior Mu!" Guanghui's face was overjoyed, and he quickly stood up and hugged his fists, and gave Mu Zifeng a deep salute, "The villain must know everything and say everything, and please say a few good words for the villain in front of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Pavilion after you go back." ”
Mu Zifeng frowned, this Guanghui is also a poisonous snake-like existence that repeatedly climbs! This kind of person is the most likely to see the wind and rudder and watch people put down dishes.
Although Mu Zifeng doesn't like such people, he can't help it, after all, the task assigned by the sect has not been completed, and he has to rely on Guanghui to provide information.
He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said indifferently, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Hearing Mu Zifeng speak like this, Guanghui let out a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of the burden in his heart, the expression on his face was also lively, and when he spoke, he also began to speak with emotion and color, and added one or two gestures from time to time.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, most of the monks in Haidong City make a living by hunting and killing sea monsters, and although they are not particularly rich, they are also very comfortable. Because it is only two thousand miles away from the Holy Yao Guang Mountain under the Holy Sect, most of the people in Haidong City practice martial arts and practice demonic skills, just looking forward to one day being admitted to the Holy Sect and glorifying the lintel.
The nobles of Haidong City have four major families, in addition to the city lord Guanghui's family, there are also the Su family, the Zhang family and the Zhao family. The population of these four aristocratic families is about three million.
But in the past six months, the four major families, including the City Lord's Mansion, have disappeared almost every day, and so far, the missing noble population has exceeded 100,000 people.
But no matter what means they used, and even invited a strong person of the Demon Venerable rank to protect them, disappearances still happened from time to time.
The City Lord's Mansion sent a large team of people to turn over the neighborhood, but the shadow of the missing person was not found at all, but the people sent out disappeared in a team. This disappearance intensified, and for a time it became a headless case. There are even more rumors in the market, some people say that Haidong City has offended the gods, others say that it has been cursed, and so on.
Many nobles got together to discuss, wanting to leave their hometowns, leave this Haidong City, and flee to other parts of the Xuan Demon Continent, but they were like being cursed, they just escaped, and before they could settle down, they disappeared one after another.
Now the nobles of Haidong City can't run, and if they don't run, they will suffer, so they can only report to Shengyao Guangshan and Shengtianshu Mountain, hoping that the two mountain gates will come forward to find out the reasons for the disappearance of the noble children, find these missing noble children, and return Haidong City to a clear world.
"Sizzle!" After listening to Guanghui's narration, in addition to Mu Zifeng, there were five disciples of the ten Holy Heavenly Shushan disciples here, and they all gasped, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, because the fifteen of them were also nobles, in the process of investigating the case, could they escape the fate of disappearance?
Don't get into it before you even go to investigate the case.
"What kind of cultivation are the missing noble children?" Mu Zifeng frowned.
"There are all kinds of cultivators, down to the Demon King, up to the Demon King, and a Demon Venerable level powerhouse is also missing. Guanghui shrugged her shoulders and smiled wryly.
"What? Even the Demon Venerable-level powerhouse is missing?" The fifteen Demon King disciples present are not calm, that is a Demon Venerable-level powerhouse, not to mention standing at the highest peak of the Xuan Demon Continent, it is almost the same, but even they can be missing, how rebellious is the strength of the other party?
"How can this case be investigated?" Including Shen Liu, fifteen people looked at each other, all of them showing frustrated expressions.
"Is it possible that the Lord Organization did it?" Mu Zifeng raised his eyebrows.
"That's not clear! However, if it weren't for you, senior, the subordinates of the three main organizations would not have been exposed, but with just a few of them, it would be impossible to catch a strong person at the Demon Venerable level, and to catch a strong person at the Demon Venerable level, there must be at least three or five monks with the same cultivation, and they must also use the power of the Demon Treasure to barely be able to do it, if the Demon Realm has this power, I am afraid that it will be discovered long ago, and it will not just choose to make trouble in Haidong City, a place where rabbits don't?"
Guanghui talked eloquently, analyzed it well, and it was quite a bit of a whipping meaning, it seems that as the city lord of Haidong City, he has not worked the disappearance of the nobles' children. His head is not given for free, as a parent official of the city, the first manager, which one is given for free?
Everyone was shocked by this confusing case, and even more so the ten demon king-level disciples of the Holy Heavenly Pivot Mountain, each of them had a horizontal practice of kung fu, if you want to say that fighting and killing is their strong point, but when it comes to brain-wielding things like solving cases, they can't help it, one by one, they are either speechless and sitting in a precarious position, or analyzing and analyzing, and their heads are mushy.
Mu Zifeng also felt that this matter was very tricky, how big was a piece of 100,000 noble children put together?
He specially asked Guanghui, these people don't see people in their lives, they don't see corpses in death, they seem to have disappeared out of thin air, no one can say where they are, there is not even a single witness, it can be said to be very weird.
"How old are these missing noble children?" Mu Zifeng asked another crucial question.
"It's generally between the ages of twenty-five and thirty. Guanghui tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied respectfully.
"Nonsense, how can there be a demon king between the ages of twenty-five and thirty or a powerhouse at the level of the Demon Venerable?" Mu Zifeng rolled his eyes, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
"Senior Mu, you misunderstood, that Demon Venerable-level powerhouse, as well as the fourteen missing Demon Kings, all looked very young, looking like they were between twenty-five and thirty years old, so they disappeared. Guanghui saw that Mu Zifeng was angry, and hurriedly explained.
"Oh, I see. Mu Zifeng nodded slightly.
"Did anything strange happen half a year ago?
"This errand is a good question! Let the old man tell you. ”
The voice fell, and three old men walked in from outside the main hall, all of whom were cultivators at the peak of the ninth order great demon master, and they were all inferior nobles of the six-colored demon pupils, and they were the heads of the Su family, the Zhang family, and the Zhao family.
"The old man also just got the news, one night half a year ago, on the sea level five hundred miles southeast of Haidong City, suddenly a strange light fell from the sky, illuminating the entire sea surface. ”
