Dozens of miles away near Sea Spring City, Fang Yuan ordered to retreat and rest before entering the city.

There were a total of four people in Shangyuan on this trip, namely Hong Ping'an and Liu Lanying, who went to Dongyang Valley with him, and Chen Changming, who was in the later group.

The first two knew about the relationship between Fang Yuan and the foundation building monk Lin Qianshan on the cloud boat, and after arriving in Dongyang Valley, they faintly took Fang Yuan as the main thing, and the horse was looking forward.

As for Chen Changming, he only came over half a year later, and there were three people with him.

Fang Yuan knew that the other two were both descendants of the foundation building monks, and they came here with the intention of dominating the guests.

Chen Changming was just an ordinary monk, and he was excluded by the other two, so he offered some treasures to Fang Yuan and prayed for protection, so Fang Yuan did not refuse.

As a result, a small interest group with Fang Yuan as the core was formed.

These people were all Fang Yuan's henchmen, and in the three years they had been in Dongyang Valley, these four people had presided over daily affairs and patrolled and guarded, giving Fang Yuan a lot more time to practice.

After receiving a temporary task, after careful consideration, he brought several people out together.

The whereabouts of the disciples stationed in the Extreme Yang Sect are a mystery, and this matter is obviously not simple, and there is no inside story.

Investigating the truth is a matter that still requires a trustworthy helper to make it easier to act.

As for Niu Junsheng, he stayed in Dongyang Valley, and this person had quietly broken through to the late stage of qi training a few days ago.

Although he was still driven by Fang Yuan, for some considerations, he was not brought on this mission.

First, this person's cultivation is on par with him, and if he is careful, it is not conducive to the task of this trip.

The second is that Dongyang Valley still needs to have its own people stationed there, otherwise after completing this temporary task, it will be difficult to go back and have an accident.

Half an hour later, after everyone's mana had recovered and they had almost rested, Fang Yuan began his first formal lecture:

"The city lord stationed at Haiquan is also a late-stage Qi cultivation monk, but this person has disappeared quietly, which is quite strange. It also coincided with the battle of the cave sky, Fang Mou hoped that everyone would be vigilant and not negligent, otherwise the punishment of the sect if the task was not completed, so it was a big loss of life. ”

"In case of emergency, don't act without authorization, you must obey orders, Fang will do his best to ensure everyone's safety."

"When I went to Ocean Spring City, everything was under my command, if someone was careful and made a mistake temporarily, don't blame Fang for not thinking about the same thing."

Fang Yuan's words were extremely solemn, with a hint of undoubted taste, his cultivation was the highest in the audience, coupled with his long-term prestige, no one dared to ignore his words.

When they heard his last sentence, Hong Ping'an and the three of them were shocked, and after glancing at each other, they hurriedly said, "Yes, we must obey Senior Brother Liu's command and dare not act without permission." ”

Fang Yuan's face relaxed at this time, revealing a kind smile, and his eyes looked at the four of them:

"That's great, I hope this trip goes well, and you and I can return safely."

Now that the mana had been restored, Fang Yuan gave an order, and the four of them began to move towards Sea Spring City.

The light slowly descended, and after a few moments, I saw a city surrounded by mountains under the thin clouds.

At this time, it is unitary time, the sun is setting, and the red sun is only half a difficult to hang in the distant sky, tenaciously exuding afterglow.

The city wall is simple and tall, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming in and out, seeing a few people falling from the sky, their faces showing a look of awe and yearning.

But they didn't seem surprised, there have been immortal cultivators coming and going here for a long time, and they have become accustomed to it.

In front of everyone's eyes, Fang Yuan and the others walked to the gate of the city.

There were soldiers guarding the city gate, and when they saw a group of people, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, saying: "See all the immortal masters and fairies!" ”

"Take us to the City Lord's Mansion."

Fang Yuan glanced at the leading guard with a faint expression.

Hong Ping'an's faces did not change much, but their attitudes were all high, although they were not regarded as ants, but they did not take mortals in their eyes.

"The lifespan of a Qi refining period cultivator is not much different from that of mortals, just because most of the extraordinary powers they have mastered are high above and do not take the life and death of individual mortals seriously."

Such a thought flashed in Fang Yuan's heart, but he didn't say anything, after all, he was also a member of the class.

The power of this world is attributed to itself, and the monks who have mastered the power are already superior, which is understandable.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and Sea Springs City was very wealthy. The city lord's mansion is majestic and tall.

When I went to the door, I explained my identity and origin, and after a while, a housekeeper came out to greet him.

"A few immortal masters, please, please!"

The housekeeper's name is Li Fu, a middle-aged man who is slightly rich, and his attitude is extremely respectful after seeing a few people, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Before stepping into the threshold, Fang Yuan suddenly felt that his body was light, as if a fresh breeze was blowing in his face, and the whole person was a little relieved.

"It seems that the previous garrison is a person who will enjoy it."

The changes in the environment can't hide the perception of Fang Yuan and a few people, this city lord's mansion should be equipped with a spirit gathering formation, which has changed the climate in a small area, can nourish the muscles and bones, and assist in cultivation, so it will be like this.

Look at the house again, the rich and noble people pay attention to it, planting bamboo behind the house, planting cinnamon in front of the court, and sycamore in front of the steps......

It is now the early summer, and the laurel trees are flourishing and verdant.

The faint aroma of osmanthus lingers in the air, which is refreshing.

You look around, but see that the courtyard along the way in the house is deep, the grass and trees are sparse, and occasionally there are servants and maids passing by, and when they see the housekeeper personally leading guests, they have retreated to the side, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and their posture is respectful.

A short time later, they were ushered into a main temple.

After Fang Yuan and a few people sat down, someone immediately served tea and snacks, all the food was full of color, flavor and flavor, and it could be seen that it was made by a chef in the world.

The butler stood aside and said respectfully: "A few immortal masters of the Extreme Yang Sect have everything they can tell the villain. ”

Fang Yuan didn't make a sound, but picked up the teacup and took a sip, only to feel that the tea had a long charm after entering the mouth, and the taste was good, but unfortunately it didn't contain a trace of aura, just ordinary tea.

I picked up a piece of delicate pastry and took a bite of it, it was smooth but not greasy, and it melted in my mouth, although it was full of flavor, but I didn't eat too much.

It's just a taste of it, and there is no excessive greed for appetite.

Several immortal masters did not speak, and the housekeeper naturally did not dare to make a sound, so he could only accompany him.

It's just that his eyes flickered a little, obviously not as calm as he appeared, but rather preoccupied.

After another moment, the housekeeper Li Fu's uneasiness became more and more obvious, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from the pores on his forehead.

Fang Yuan had a good understanding of this and had a full view of this person's performance.

Although Hong Ping'an and the three of them didn't understand what they meant, they didn't ask much after Fang Yuan's lecture when they came, and they also ate pastries and tasted fragrant tea.

After enjoying the food slowly, seeing that the time was ripe, Fang Yuan said expressionlessly, "You have been following the previous city lord, and it is also the city lord that you reported the disappearance?" ”

"Tell me the whole story of the incident word for word, if there is any information hidden, if the disappearance of the city lord is related to you......"

Hearing these meaningful and slightly threatening words, the housekeeper Li Fu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly replied.

"The villain must know everything, and he must say everything. More than ten years ago, the city lord came to garrison here, and the villain served left and right, always saddled in front of the horse and behind the horse. ”

"The villain and the city lord are even more related, how can they murder the city lord?"

In order to avoid suspicion, Li Fu directly said his personal relationship with the city lord.

"Cigarette kinship?"

Fang Yuan knew in his heart, no wonder a mortal could actually become the steward of this huge city lord's mansion.

actually married his daughter to the city lord, and he had such a status by virtue of the relationship between the pillow wind.

"Go on!"

After knowing that this matter probably had nothing to do with the housekeeper, Fang Yuan continued to learn more.

After listening to this, the housekeeper then explained the incident or not.

"About a month ago, the city lord said that he had something important to go out to explain the villain's secrets, and deal with miscellaneous matters on his behalf, and he would return in about a few days."

"But more than ten days have passed, the city lord still hasn't returned, and Shangzong has an envoy to come, and after waiting for a long time, he hasn't seen the city lord return, and the people sent out can't find it, so the villain has no choice but to report."

……

After Fang Yuan's intimidation and psychological oppression, Li Fu did not hide it at all, and told Fang Yuan everything one by one.

In order to avoid suspicion, even the city lord said every time he had sex.

It can be seen that the frightening is not light.
