Far away from the bustling city, a place of mixed fish.

In the huge mansion, there was already a solemn aura at this time, and the warriors in blue, red, and black robes who came and went were solemn, and their faces were all in a hurry.

In the mansion where the entire Three Swords Association is located, even the subordinates are silent, and they are cautious when doing things, lest they anger these good people.

At this time, in a courtyard, a group of people had solemn faces, and no one spoke for half a sound.

After Xu Liuqing's proposal, the people in the Taoist temple have moved here, after all, compared to the protection of the relics of Xuan and Xuan, it is always more reassuring to be well-guarded by the Three Swords Society.

Even Zhao Yuansong did not deny this, and agreed that everyone would be transferred here.

"So now the garrison officers and soldiers of the entire Qianyu City have been controlled by people?"

In the heavy atmosphere, Xu Qiqi couldn't help but ask.

As her voice sounded, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Liuqing.

Seeing this, he nodded solemnly: "The gate of the Quartet has been closed, only allowed to enter but not to exit, all the garrison officers and soldiers look no different from ordinary people on the surface, but in fact, the demonic qi in the body is hidden, and the mind has been controlled by the demonic means." ”

According to the investigation of the Three Swords Society, even the garrison barracks in the city have been reduced to a place where demonic qi is entrenched, and a cold can be felt from afar.

Now that the entire county town is blocked, the city gates and city walls of the four directions are full of demonic officers and soldiers, if you want to break out, unless there are two realm monks or martial artists to make a move, you will definitely pay a heavy price.

There are a lot of people who will die while rushing through the level!

It's just that since the other party has blocked the city gate, he naturally doesn't want the people in the city to escape, and he will inevitably leave a secret hand at the Sifang City Gate, in case there are two realms or someone who wants to rush through the gate at any cost.

"Now we're going to be turtles in an urn."

Liao Qiming, that is, the young nurse of the Zhao family, couldn't help but mutter to himself at this time.

However, as soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted a few rolls of the eyes, although there was nothing wrong with his words in themselves, but the metaphor made people feel a little strange.

"This person in the dark is really a good means, quietly laying out such a big situation, what is he planning?"

The middle-aged nurse said with a gloomy face: "The Zhao family, the county government, the Baiyun Temple, the City God Temple, and the city guard barracks......"

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't stop shaking his head, completely unable to imagine what the person who was secretly planning was plotting something.

And looking at the current posture, the other party obviously intends to no longer hide, and has decided to induce all the means laid down.

Even the majesty of the imperial court is not taken to heart, if it is really allowed to succeed, I am afraid that not many people in the entire county will survive.

"The most urgent thing is to gather all the forces in the city and find out what the other side is up to."

Xu Qiqi groaned and spoke, then turned his head to look at Xu Liuqing.

The latter smiled bitterly when he saw this, neither of these things were so easy to do.

Now there are not all kinds of gangs in the city, except for the Zhao family, which has been wiped out, there are three powerful Jianghu sects, but no one obeys each other, even in the face of life and death, it is difficult to obey the command of others.

And people's hearts are complicated, how can they know that the other two will not do anything in secret?

Even if you can break the situation in the end, I am afraid that you will also suffer heavy losses, what does it make if you are directly destroyed, and sometimes you will inevitably be replaced by other forces, and the end may be even more miserable.

And if you want to solve the scruples of several parties, the best way is to find Liu Hongsheng, who was once a hero of the rivers and lakes, and later served as the head of the arrest for more than 20 years, so that all parties can be convinced.

It's just that now Liu Hongsheng's whereabouts are unknown, he should have noticed a little truth, so no one dared to believe it, so he had to lie dormant somewhere in the city for the time being.

"People can't be found for the time being, Liu Hongsheng is experienced, even if he mobilizes all the influence of the three sects, there are no clues."

Xu Liuqing sighed: "As for the purpose of the person who secretly laid it out......"

He shook his head, his face full of helplessness, even if the strength of the three factions was combined, it was really difficult to guess.

The importance of several evil demons to the county is naturally needless to say, but there is no connection between them, and it is difficult to guess the context.

"I may have guessed a few about the man's intentions."

At this moment, Ji Yuan, who had returned from outside, said to the people inside as he strode into the courtyard.

A group of people turned around one after another, and in addition to Ji Yuan and the three of them, there was a young woman and a pair of men and women with dull eyes.

It was Su Hongzhu, and the senior brothers and sisters who were controlled by her and came from a famous family in Tianhe County.

However, in an instant, everyone in the courtyard got up one after another, looking at Su Hongzhu with a wary face, and the unconcealed strong ghost aura on the other party's body, as well as the strong aura, all made them vigilant.

Seeing this, Su Hongzhu covered her mouth and chuckled, just wanted to tease this group of men, but for no reason, she thought that in the Hundred Flowers Building, the little Taoist priest in front of her had a murderous intent in his eyes.

At this time, Ji Yuan happened to glance at her, and there seemed to be a sharp blade in the dark, piercing into her non-existent heart.

So she just thought about it, put away her original plan, smiled slightly, and walked to the edge of the flower garden on the side, as if admiring the flowers and green leaves.

"This ......"

Xu Qiqi raised his eyebrows and looked at his senior brother.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuansong told Su Hongzhu's identity, and finally said that he didn't have to worry about her for the time being.

In this way, everyone's faces were slightly soothed, but they still didn't dare to let go of all their vigilance, after all, this was a ghost creature that had cultivated in the second realm, and its real body was still one of the ghost things'Red Pink Skull'.

If Su Hongzhu suddenly broke out and hurt people, even Zhao Yuansong, who was also in the second realm, was now within a close distance, if he was unprepared, he would probably suffer a heavy blow even if he was not dead.

"Little Daoist, I don't know what you meant by what you said earlier?"

One of the catchers quickly spoke, looking puzzled.

After he reminded him like this, everyone recalled that when Ji Yuan first entered the courtyard, he directly said that he had guessed the plan of the person who was secretly arranged.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan, who had just sat down, had a deep groan on his face, and he didn't know if he should make a fuss about it.

After all, that incident not only involved the past of Qianyu City more than 300 years ago, as well as a big secret, but also related to his own relatives.

Seeing that he was hesitant, several catchers and the Zhao family's nursing home got up very interestingly to say goodbye, and were taken away from the courtyard by Weng Yang.

After a short time, only Ji Yuan and Zhao Yuansong, brothers and sisters, as well as Xu Liuqing, Shen Lang, and Huixin were left here.

As for Su Hongzhu, who was admiring the flowers on the side, she was directly ignored by everyone, and it didn't matter if she heard it or not.

"More than 300 years ago, Qianyu City was famous inside and outside the Dayu Dynasty for its jade veins of more than 1000 miles."

After thinking for a while, Ji Yuan then spoke.

At that time, the thousands of miles of jade veins in this place contained in the jade were all of the highest grade, and there had never been a slightly flawed middle and lower grade after many years of excavation.

And high-quality jade is not only the favorite of the rich and powerful, but also an indispensable material for people in cultivation, whether it is alchemy, refining tools, or even talismans and arrays.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qianyu City at that time attracted the attention of the entire dynasty.

It's just that one day more than three hundred years ago, a mountain and wild cultivator pretended to be bold, and he didn't know what means he used, but he actually sneaked into the depths of the jade vein.

That Ye Xiu spent decades of time hollowing out all the thousands of miles of jade veins little by little, leaving only the most superficial layer, and then let him find the depths of the jade veins, a piece of real immortal Li Ao of immeasurable value - 10,000-year chalcedony!

Ye Xiu took the 10,000-year-old chalcedony as a whole, and then refined the top grade of the thousand-mile jade vein, even the best jade, supplemented by all the net worth that he had accumulated for three or four hundred years, and finally created a stunning spiritual treasure.

On the day when the spiritual treasure was refined, even if the vision of a thousand miles was triggered, a powerful person whose name had already obtained clues and was hidden around Qianyu City made a brazen attack at this moment, wanting to compete for the spiritual treasure that was born.

That is, in that battle, most of the prosperous Qianyu City was destroyed, and a total of hundreds of thousands of people died, even after more than 300 years of respite, it is still only a third-class county, and it is difficult to regain the glory of the past.

Xu Liuqing's face was solemn, although he was one of the leaders of the Three Swords Society and had lived here for nearly ten years, he had never heard of this secret.

In the local chronicles of Qianyu City, there is little mention of the disaster more than 300 years ago, and it is generally only mentioned that it encountered a natural disaster that is rare for a thousand years, and only those who practice know that the so-called natural disaster is actually the result of the battle and killing of many powerful people.

But why are these powerful people fighting, and what Ji Yuan said, someone refining the world-shattering spirit treasure with a thousand miles of jade veins, etc., even if it is a high-level of the three factions of a family, they have never heard of it at all.

This is a real secret, I am afraid that even the successive county officials have no way of knowing, and only the big people in the county town can know the slightest clue.

"But does this have anything to do with the current matter?"

Jiang He asked suspiciously.

If it is said that the person who secretly arranged it was for that amazing spiritual treasure, even if it was not mentioned that so much time had passed, you must know that back then, there were many great powers competing with each other, and it is estimated that it had already been taken away by one of them.

"What if that spirit treasure wasn't actually taken by anyone?"

Ji Yuan sighed, and looked at the people in front of him with complicated eyes.

And as his words fell, a group of people first nodded subconsciously, and then their faces changed suddenly.

Although I don't know why Ji Yuan knew such a secret, if that amazing spirit treasure had never been taken away, then the plans of the person who was secretly arranging it would have been revealed.

"For more than three hundred years, I don't know how many powerful people, as well as many sects and forces in the Dayu Dynasty, have come here to investigate more than once, but in the end they all returned empty-handed."

Ji Yuan's eyes flashed and said: "That person has secretly laid out for at least a hundred years, in order to be a person who sacrifices a city of blood, and uses some kind of demonic means to lure out the spiritual treasure that even the powerful can't find." ”

This is also why, the other side has to control the Chenghuang Temple, the county government and the barracks, so as to break down the biggest resistance force, and use this force to oppose the blockade of the county seat.

Of course, this is also for the convenience of the person himself, who secretly carries out a lot of planning and layout.

As for why the Zhao family and Baiyun Temple were plotting, it should be to make it more convenient to slaughter the people in the city, otherwise even if ten Second Realm cultivators joined forces, it would be impossible to slaughter the entire county in a short period of time.

"If this is the case, I am afraid that many gangs and forces in the city have been infiltrated to varying degrees."

Xu Liuqing groaned.

Until this moment, he understood why Liu Hongsheng would choose to lie dormant in the city, not contacting any forces, and not daring to show his figure.

The chief catcher obviously knew his importance in the current situation, and with years of experience, he guessed that the major forces in the city had probably been infiltrated.

Once he appears, I am afraid that he will be ushered in by the full force of the person in the dark, and it is impossible for the other party to let him, the person who can condense the forces in the city into a rope, live.

"I just don't know, how many people are controlled among the three factions, and how many core members are among them?"

For a while, Xu Liuqing couldn't help but feel a big headache.

This kind of enemy feeling in the dark and in the light is not the most uncomfortable, what is really uncomfortable is not knowing what people are around and have been secretly controlled by the enemy.

"Maybe it's not just control, but it doesn't rule out that some people are willing to fall and make some deal with the other party."

Ji Yuan said with a complicated face.

In his opinion, I am afraid that the county official Yuan Yongcheng is a self-depraved degenerate, and like the Wuhai Master of Baiyun Temple, he is the way of resources falling into demons.
