Bright moonlight filtered through the holes in the roof and sprinkled down in the messy living room.

There was silence for a while, except for the occasional rustle of falling gravel.

The black-robed man looked around with a solemn gaze.

At that moment, a sneering sound suddenly sounded in the silent living room.

Before the black-robed man could find the direction from which the voice came from, he saw a large amount of hookah clouds in the living room at some point, and in a blink of an eye, a layer of fog barrier was formed.

The whole living room suddenly fell into a fog and white!

Everything around suddenly became looming, and with the shift of light, it became elusive.

"Mist Charm!"

The black-robed man raised his eyebrows.

Just as he was about to cast a spell to dispel the fog, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing out of the corner of his eye, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the entrance, slammed through the door with a bang, and ran wildly out.

"I want to run!"

The black-robed man snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he came to the street outside in an instant.

Considering that it might be Lin Shen's trick, he also took out an illusion-breaking talisman and shook his fingers, and the talisman instantly spontaneously combusted without wind, turning into a ball of golden light covering his pupils.

Looking at it, the black-robed man bowed slightly, there was no doubt that it was his real body.

Seeing this, he didn't delay any longer, and dodged and chased after the figure in the distance.

The night is long and dreamy, and this kid must be caught as soon as possible, so as not to bump into the members of the Zhiwu Hall who came to check.

After a while, the figure of the black-robed man disappeared into the night.

The villa, which had been reduced to ruins, was silent in a blink of an eye.

After a few moments, there was a steep clatter, and the pile of rubble in the corner of the ruins scattered in all directions, and a figure slowly stood up.

"It's so dangerous, I almost died!"

Patting the smoke and dust on his body, Lin Shen breathed a long sigh of relief,

The power of the black-robed man's magic weapon was indeed very powerful, if it weren't for the moment he was hit, he summoned a clone to share part of the attack under the cover of smoke and dust, I'm afraid he would have been seriously injured.

The ninth-level cultivation of the Enlightenment Technique, coupled with the powerful magic weapon at the level above the magic weapon, this kind of strength is no longer something that Lin Shen can compete with.

If you are not careful, let alone escape, your life will not be guaranteed!

So taking the opportunity to fall into the living room on the first floor, Lin Shen decisively used the fog concealment charm to let the doppelganger pretend to be himself and run away, while he quickly pasted a hidden breath charm and a hidden talisman on his body, and the elimination aura was hidden under the ruins.

Fortunately, luck was on Lin Shen's side.

Perhaps it was because the movement caused by Mo Fengyan's attack was too great, which affected the judgment of the black-robed man, coupled with the effect of the fog concealment charm covering his perception, he did not notice Lin Shen's small movements.

Even in order to ensure that the clone would not be seen through, Lin Shen also stuffed a storage bag and a Six Yang Fu Sword into the clone.

"The two things add up to more than 20 small achievements, and this is a big loss." Lin Shen sighed.

This was the first time he hadn't gotten loot from the enemy, but had instead stuck things upside down.

Sighing again, Lin Shen calmed down and chased in the direction where the black-robed man left.

Now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief.

If the clone is too far away from the main body, it will soon be unable to maintain and disappear, and then the black-robed man will immediately realize that something is wrong and return to hunt him down again.

Lin Shen didn't dare to guarantee that he was injured, and his true strength was on the verge of running out, and he could escape back to the Daoist Courtyard before he was caught by the black-robed man.

Besides, even if you escape back to the Taoist Temple, it doesn't mean that you are safe!

Lin Shen's eyes were slightly cold, and he recalled the five-colored air mass that the black-robed man had just cast.

The characteristics of that spell, no matter how you look at it, are very similar to the description of the 'Five Qi Zhenyuan' he saw on the exchange list of the Meritorious Academy!

And the 'Five Qi Zhenyuan' is a unique technique of the Jiuyang Sect!

In other words, that black-robed person was most likely from the Jiuyang Sect, or even from the Jiuyang Dao Academy!

Thinking of this, Lin Shen suddenly shuddered.

The people of the desolate wolf are lurking in the Jiuyang Dao Academy, and they are plotting against him, how can they make people feel chills in their hearts!

Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?

If you don't find this person out, he won't be able to sleep well in the next few days!

Therefore, it is best to stabilize the black-robed man with a clone first until dawn.

Give the black-robed man ten dares, he doesn't dare to commit murder in broad daylight!

Then take this opportunity to find the hideout of the black-robed man, and after this, hehe

A ghostly light flashed in Lin Shen's eyes, and he quickened his pace and rushed forward.

While running, he took out the Hui Qi Pill and the Hui Yuan Pill from the storage ring and took them, mobilizing his true qi to quickly digest the medicinal power.

At this time, the distance between him and the clone had exceeded two thousand meters, and the true qi in his body was constantly being consumed.

A few minutes later, Lin Shen's face changed slightly.

"Did you get caught?"

didn't stop, taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Shen quickly narrowed the distance with the clone.

There are hidden breath charms and hidden talismans, as long as they are not close to the black-robed man within a radius of five hundred meters, and appear in an open field of vision, they will not be noticed by the other party.

After all, Lingying is not like spiritual sense, not to mention extremely penetrating, and it can also scan the induction qi.

Sure enough, after grabbing the clone, the black-robed man immediately turned around and ran towards the southern district.

"This guy's hideout is in the Southern End?"

Lin Shen was surprised.

The southern district is known as a rich area, and even many practitioners live there.

But after thinking about it, isn't the desolate wolf stronghold discovered by Zhiwutang also in the Southern District?

"Don't the people of the wolves believe that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

Lin Shen scolded a sentence, but he didn't think much about it, and hurriedly buried his head and hurried away.

The speed of the black-robed man is much faster than his body, and he will be thrown away if he relaxes a little.

Hurrying all the way, Lin Shen tried his best to control the distance between himself and the doppelganger within 1,500 meters, so as to reduce consumption, and at the same time eat pills without feeling distressed.

Even so, the true qi in the body was still decreasing at a slow but firm rate.

More than ten minutes later, just as Lin Shen's true qi was about to run out, the clone finally stopped moving.

Seeing this, Lin Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly increased his speed, finally narrowing the distance to a kilometer-free radius before the true qi was exhausted.

After stuffing another handful of pills and recovering some of his true qi, Lin Shen took advantage of the night to cautiously approach the location where the clone had stopped.

It didn't take long for an annex to come into view.

"This is the guy's hideout?"

In the shadows under the trees a hundred meters away, Lin Shen squinted at the courtyard in the distance.

It looked like an ordinary courtyard, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Looking at the surrounding buildings, this area is clearly a high-end residential area.

And this kind of low-key yet elegant architectural style is more like the type that practitioners like.

Most of the people who live here are cultivators.

"Looks like this should be the guy's quarters, not the wolf's stronghold."

Regardless of the other wealthy residential areas in the Southern District, if the wild wolf can establish a stronghold in such a place full of cultivators, then what is the matter with the Zhiwu Hall?

"I just don't know who lives here?"

Lin Shen felt that he was about to come into contact with the true identity of the black-robed man.

It's a pity that the clone seems to have been knocked out by the black-robed man, and he can't share what the clone sees and hears, and can only perceive the location of the clone.

Standing in the shadows, Lin Shen's eyes flickered.

After a few moments, he quickly had a plan.

Central District, Zhiwutang Headquarters.

The conference room on the top floor of the most central building.

All the chief flags and flag officers of the Zhiwutang branch in the four major urban districts, as well as the four main and deputy hall masters of the headquarters, all gathered together at this time.

But strangely, there was a dead silence in the conference room, and no one spoke.

Everyone was silent, and from time to time their eyes sneaked glances at the figure sitting at the top.

was secretly noticed by many high-level officials of the Zhiwu Hall, but it was a beautiful girl.

The girl looks about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with gentle eyebrows, beautiful and moving, and wears a long white dress with fluttering white clothes, a high snow robe, a narrow waist and long legs.

However, in the eyes of the high-level officials of the Zhiwu Hall, there was no surprise or admiration at all, only fear and respect.

After a long silence, the girl looked around, swept her gaze over everyone, and slowly spoke.

"It's been three months since I gave the order to hunt down the wolves."

"You've only caught a bunch of minions, but you don't have any key key members, who can give me an explanation?"

There was silence.

No one answered.

Many people who knew the character of the hall master very well tensed their bodies, preparing for the coming storm.

Sure enough, there was a muffled sound in my ears in the next second.

The girl slapped the table hard, her eyebrows upside down, and she was furious.

"What do you all eat? Do you just know how to visit the guild hall and hug the demon girl? I'm not afraid that I won't be able to pay the public food when I go home, and I will be castrated by your wife, and if you can't complete the task, believe it or not, I will punish you all to go to the mining area to mine? ”

After a few words, the girl's previous gentle temperament has long been completely destroyed.

However, there was silence in the conference room, and everyone had always known the hot nature of this hall master, and they had long been surprised, and no one dared to speak, just lowered their heads.

Seeing this, the girl laughed angrily: "It's a shame that you are still the masters with the handles, why didn't anyone come out to make a package ticket with me, saying that there was no problem?" ”

Several deputy hall masters next to him shook their heads secretly when they heard what the girl said, and said in their hearts that this hall master obviously looks gentle and moving, and even his name Xia Mengran is very beautiful, but he has a hot temperament, and he talks like a shrew scolding the street.

After scolding everyone bloodily, Xia Mengran finally let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at a deputy hall master, and asked in a cold voice:

"Have you found out about the incident in Silverscale City?"

The deputy hall master hurriedly sat up straight and replied: "It has been found out, the master of the manor is a pharmacist, called Jing Hai, secretly a member of the Desolate Wolf, we have examined Jing Hai's corpse, and his cultivation was the ninth layer of the Enlightenment during his lifetime, if nothing else, he should be one of the backbones of the Desolate Wolf!" ”

Hearing this, Xia Mengran's cold expression eased slightly, nodded, and asked again:

"Who killed Jing Hai?"

The deputy hall master suddenly showed hesitation, and it was not until Xia Mengran's gaze stabbed like a sword that he stubbornly said:

"When the people of Silverscale City arrived there, the owner, steward, and guard of the manor were all dead, and the surviving servants were all ordinary people, who knew nothing about the secrets of the manor, only that it was a group of cat demons who invaded the manor that night."

"Cat demon?" Xia Mengran frowned slightly, "You mean Jing Hai was killed by the cat demon, why?" ”

"We have found a lot of alchemy tools and materials in the manor, based on these things, we guess that Jing Hai is probably using the cat demon as a material to research and refine a new variety of blood spirit pill!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the conference room, and many people showed stunned expressions.

Use the demon clan to refine the blood elixir?

It's unheard of!

Are the people of the wild wolf crazy, just take the cultivator alchemy, and now even the demon clan is targeted!

Xia Mengran ignored the surprise of the others, and frowned to himself: "So, the cat demons killed him in order to take revenge on Jing Hai?" ”

"But Jing Hai is the ninth layer of the Ming Realm, no matter how weak the combat power is, it is not something that a group of Feather Realm cat demons can kill, could it be that there are Tong Xuan Realm cat demons lurking in Silver Scale City?"

After thinking for a moment to no avail, Xia Mengran waved her hand irritably.

"Forget it, if the people of the wild wolf are killed, they will be killed, as long as the cat demon of the Xuan Realm no longer comes out to cause trouble, I don't want to care about her, Lao Cheng, you continue to investigate the affairs of Silver Scale City, you must follow the vine and dig out the other backbones of the wild wolf!"

The deputy hall master secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface, so he agreed to it.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xia Mengran frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

The door was pushed open, and a young member of the Martial Arts Hall walked in and said loudly: "Tell the hall master, there is a cultivator battle in the Eastern District, and it is surmised from the qi machine that the two sides should be in the Ming Realm!" ”

Xia Mengran waved his hand angrily: "Then arrest them all, do you still want me to teach you this little thing?" ”

The member of the Zhiwu Hall swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice, "Not long after that battle took place, someone found a group of the most fierce victories in the Southern District! ”

"The most fierce victory?" The deputy hall master called Lao Cheng frowned and looked at the general banner in charge of the Southern District next to him, "Lao Liu, I remember that when the Zhiwu Hall cleared the desolate wolf stronghold in the Southern District before, did there be a large number of the most fierce victories?" ”

The general banner didn't want to nod his head: "That's right, that time the desolate wolf overshadowed us, not only our branch suffered heavy losses, but also a lot of temporarily recruited disciples of the Three Great Dao Academy died, and I was severely reprimanded by the head of the Three Great Dao Academy for this matter!" ”

When it came to this incident, the general flag looked bitter and hateful.

"Mingqi Realm, the most fierce victory, it shouldn't be a wild wolf, right?" Deputy Hall Master Cheng frowned and guessed.

Xia Mengran waved his hand and ordered without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter if he's or not, go to the scene first and arrest people and then interrogate them slowly! Lao Cheng, forget it, I'll go out in person! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was suddenly startled.

Deputy Hall Master Cheng hurriedly stopped: "Don't do it, Hall Master Xia, your twenty-eighth Divine Seal Spiritual Qi has been cultivated for more than two months, and there are still three days left to be completed, you must not do it at this time, otherwise all the hard work you have done before will be in vain!" ”

Xia Mengran was stunned, and she was about to have a seizure, but she understood that Deputy Hall Master Cheng was reasonable, so she had to grit her teeth and endure the fire, and slammed the table angrily.

"Grandma, I knew that this Divine Seal Spirit Seal was so troublesome, and the old lady shouldn't have chosen this breaking technique in the first place!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, silent, I didn't hear these words.

Xia Mengran finished getting angry, looked up and saw that everyone was still stunned, and immediately glared and scolded: "What are you still stunned for?" If you let them run away, don't come back, let me go to the mining area outside the city to mine! ”

Only then did everyone scatter with a bang.

A moment later.

A group of heavily armed cultivators rushed out of the Zhiwutang headquarters and rushed to the southern area in the night.
