Chapter 147: Into the Tiger's Den
After Murong Piaoxue disappeared, Murong Zhengde immediately mobilized a large number of guards to strengthen the protection of the Sect Master's Mansion, and at the same time questioned and investigated the cadres in the Mansion. After the investigation was completed, it was found that Elder Yu was missing. So the entire mansion was thoroughly searched overnight, and finally a body was found in a deep well in the courtyard, and after being salvaged, it was confirmed that it was Elder Yu.
After examining the corpse, it was found that the Great Elder had not been dead for a long time, and judging from the injuries of the corpse, the Great Elder Yu had died by suicide. This makes people puzzled: why did the Great Elder let people take Piaoxue away and commit suicide, and what happened in the meantime?
Murong Lanjun and Xu Ruolan were even more anxious after learning that Piaoxue was missing, but before they could leave the house, they were blocked in the house by the master sent by Murong Zhengde.
Under Murong Zhengde's strict control, the news of Piaoxue's disappearance did not spread. He feared that if the local forces outside the city discovered the matter, the people who had been wavering might change their positions.
Early the next morning, the entire Sect Master's Mansion began to be busy for today's birthday ceremony, as if what happened last night had not happened, everyone performed their duties and proceeded in an orderly manner.
But when it was close to noon, the news that Murong Piaoxue had been kidnapped by the rebels still spread quietly in Zhongzong City.
After Murong Zhengde learned the news, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and squeaked, "This must be deliberately spread by the person behind the scenes, using my daughter as a threat, this trick is really vicious!"
Wu Yan also got the news of Piaoxue's disappearance, and was shocked and deeply worried.
"Piaoxue has lived in a honey pot since she was a child, she has never been in such danger, she must be very frightened now. Who the hell kidnapped her? I'm going to have to find out quickly. ”
Although Wu Yan has been hiding from the drifting snow usually, he is afraid that Ling'er will be jealous when he sees it. In fact, in his heart, Wu Yan has always treated her as a sister, so he must take action at this moment.
After thinking about it, Wu Yan changed his face and came out of the wall, and hurried all the way to the sect master's mansion. If you want to find the drifting snow, you must first know the details of the time, so that you can look for some clues.
Wu Yan didn't dare to enter through the main door, but sneaked in over the wall. Since the appearance of spies in the suzerain's mansion, Wu Yan had no choice but to take some precautions. Be the first to update
Fortunately, he had a deceptive demon cloak to cover his aura, otherwise he would have been discovered by the masters in the mansion. Even so, Wu Yan was almost discovered by the secret sentinels arranged several times during his journey, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Under such strict protection, how did they rob the drifting snow?"
After a while, Wu Yan dodged everywhere, and one dodged into the study where Murong Zhengde was.
"Wu Yan, how did you get in?" Murong Zhengde was lying on the desk secretly pondering countermeasures, and was taken aback. Under normal circumstances, someone who comes in will definitely report it first.
Wu Yan's face showed an anxious look, and he hurriedly said, "I have a deceptive demon cloak. I'll be updated as soon as I know about the snowdrift, and I'd like to hear the details of last night and see if I can help find it. ”
Murong Zhengde suddenly remembered what he said when he wrote to Wu Yan for the first time: "Please help take care of the Murong brothers and sisters!"
Then he said gratefully: "I finally didn't see the wrong person, but I'm afraid you can't help with this matter." This is a group of extremely vicious people, and one will put his life into it if he is not careful. I don't want you to risk it. ”
Wu Yan didn't care about the danger at the moment, he just wanted to find the whereabouts of Piaoxue as soon as possible, and said hurriedly: "Sect Master, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to my own safety." There is a deceptive cloak, and I have not been found to have sneaked into you, let alone anywhere else, and I beg your consent to find the drifting snow. ”
Murong Zhengde looked at Wu Yan's firm eyes, hesitated for a moment, and decided to agree with Wu Yan, "Okay! I promise you, but if there is danger, you have to withdraw immediately." If you are in trouble, how can I be worthy of President Wu? ”
Wu Yan nodded firmly.
So Murong Zhengde told Wu Yan about the whole thing that happened last night.
Wu Yan pondered for a moment and then analyzed: "Sect Master, according to my inference, the person you chased last night is probably the person who assassinated me in the first place. Because both of them are talismans, and their cultivation is extremely high. I'm afraid that there will not be two such people in Zhongzong at once. ”
Murong Zhengde nodded and said, "It must have been done by one person, but we have no way to find it." Last time, in order to find it, I almost searched through the entire Zhongzong City and didn't find it, so what good way do you have?"
Wu Yan said: "At present, the target exposed by the other party is only Nie Zhenyuan, so I will sneak into Nie Zhenyuan's residence, investigate first, and then make a decision." Be the first to update"
Murong Zhengde said worriedly: "Now Nie Zhenyuan's residence is heavily guarded, not to mention that it is daytime now, I'm afraid it will not be easy to enter!"
"Sect Master, don't worry, I have my own way to enter it. ”
"In that case, find a way to sneak in, and I'll send someone to answer you outside the door. As soon as you encounter danger inside, immediately release the signal and let someone outside pick you up!"
Wu Yan waved his hand and said: "It's better to keep this matter secret from the sect master, I don't want more people to know, so as not to cause trouble." ”
Murong Zhengde knew that Wu Yan was worried about something scheming, and sighed, "Then you must pay attention to safety!"
Wu Yan arched his hand and said: "Then, the kid will retire!"
After leaving the study, Wu Yan cautiously walked out of the sect master's mansion all the way. More and faster chapters are here.
After walking on the street, Wu Yan changed his face again, exerted force under his feet, and used nine shadows to shuttle through the crowd, and only felt a cool breeze blowing through the place he passed, but he couldn't see the figure clearly. However, the people of Zhongzong City are no longer surprised, there are too many strange people and strange things that have entered Zhongzong City these days.
"This is that martial artist convulsive again!" Wu Yan quickly passed, and the wind he brought up blew a middle-aged man who had not cultivated to the ground.
"It's so fast, stop teaching me!" a martial artist of the Yuan Qi Realm shouted excitedly, but in the blink of an eye, Wu Yan could no longer be seen.
Under this speed, about two quarters of an hour later, Nie Zhenyuan's mansion appeared in front of Wu Yan.
The gate of the mansion is very magnificent, highlighting the rich and noble status of the mansion owner, but the location here is close to the edge of the city, which is a clean place, but it has become Nie Zhenyuan's den of thieves.
At this time, it was past noon, and there were six martial arts masters standing at the gate, all of them strong and strong, and their eyes were sharp as they scanned the passing crowd. As soon as Wu Yan felt it slightly, he found that the cultivation of each of them was above his own.
"It seems that the main entrance is not easy to get into, so let's find a remote place and climb over the wall to enter!"
After looking at it twice, Wu Yan raised his feet and walked towards the alley next to the gate.
"This is it!" Wu Yan walked to a corner that could not be seen from the outside, and after sensing that there was no one inside the wall, he flew up and jumped up.
Inside the wall was a small courtyard, empty at this time, Wu Yan walked softly to the entrance of the courtyard and looked out carefully, he found that this should be the place where the subordinates lived, "I have to find where Nie Zhenyuan is now?"
Although this is where the subordinates lived, there are still warriors who patrol back and forth. Judging by its strictness, it is not inferior to the Sect Master's Mansion at all.
Suddenly, Wu Yan found that there was a lobby not far away, and someone in it was discussing something in a whisper, but it was too far away to hear what they were saying, "You have to get closer." ”
After looking around, Wu Yan found that the lobby was very empty around it, and only a big tree was relatively close to it.
After thinking about it, after waiting for the warriors to patrol over, Wu Yan quickly cast the Nine Shadows and rushed over, and when he got closer, he jumped directly into the dense branches and leaves. At this time, the warriors had already turned around again.
"It's dangerous!
After standing still, Wu Yangang wanted to listen carefully to the conversation in the hall, but saw the door of the lobby suddenly open.
I saw a man wearing a tiger head mask striding out. Wu Yan looked at this person's back and thought, "This person is wearing a mask in broad daylight, is it ......?"
Thinking of this, Wu Yan looked at the person's walking posture carefully, and suddenly said softly: "It's strange, how do you feel as if you've seen it." ”
When Wu Yan raised his eyes again, he was horrified to find that the man suddenly stopped and was looking towards the place where he was hiding.
Wu Yan was suddenly shocked: "It's not good, it's been discovered!"
