Originally, I just wanted to know what the relationship between Jiang Xueru and the Jiang family in Tangtang City was, but now I was forced to get involved in these conspiracies.

Saved so many people, and was told that many more were missing.

Xie Zheng slumped in the chair, a little dazed, all kinds of cause and effect, since he intervened, there was no reason to abandon it.

So Xu Lianjun was left to take care of Xie Xun and Yan Yushuang, who were still recovering, and she and Ciyin were invited to the City Lord's Mansion.

Tangtang City is a famous city for cultivating immortals, and the city lord's mansion is also magnificent, and as soon as he was led to the council hall, several familiar figures greeted him.

"Thank you, we're meeting again."

If you look closely, isn't this the Qingwu Sect disciple who drunk her in the teleportation array.

"Huo Daoyou, are you here too?"

Huo Yan nodded again and again: "Xie Daoyou has saved hundreds of suffering cultivators and mortals outside the city, among them, there are several junior disciples below, great kindness, there is no retribution in the next, if it is useful in the future, Xie Daoyou will not give up even if he orders, Qingwu Sect will not give up, and let Daoyou send it!" ”

He said it sincerely, but it made Xie Zheng a little embarrassed, she scratched her head: "I didn't do it alone, and saving people is just by the way, you really don't have to take it to heart." ”

As soon as she said this, Huo Yan instead thought that she was kind-hearted and chivalrous, in short, he was even more convinced by her, he was moved in his heart, and wanted to say something more, but Xie Zheng had already walked inside.

It wasn't until she entered the council hall that she found that it was already full of people, all of whom were cultivators dressed in the costumes of disciples of various sects, Zen Buddhism, Taoist Sect, Kunlun Immortal Sect.... The major immortal gates are almost all here.

Xie Zheng is not good at socializing, she doesn't know any of these people, of course, the other party doesn't know her very well, but she is very enthusiastic to talk to Ciyin around her.

Only a female disciple of the Dao Sect came over with a smile on her face and bowed her hand: "Is it Xie Zheng of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Senior Sister Xie?" ”

Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Are you?" ”

The smile on her face grew: "My name is Gu Xinghui, I am Su Xun's senior sister, I have been listening to that kid for a long time, and I have to see Senior Sister Xie today, and I really live up to my reputation." ”

This... It was really hard for her to imagine what Su Xun would say about her in the Dao Sect, after all, when he left the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he was still clamoring to bring her back to Sanqing Mountain....

Xie Zheng smiled awkwardly and decided not to pay attention to her words, but Quan Dang didn't hear her praise: "Senior Sister Gu." ”

But Gu Xinghui was really enthusiastic, so he had to pull her to sit at the table of the Taoist sect, Xie Zheng couldn't help it, so he had to say goodbye to Ciyin, but Ciyin ignored the Zen people and sat down directly with her.

After sitting down, Gu Xinghui began to ask questions again, Xie Zheng thought to himself, if Xu Lianjun came, the two of them would definitely hit it off at first sight and introduce each other as confidants.

Because their words are really too dense.

But soon, the sound of idle chatter gradually disappeared, and the city lord of Tangtang City finally came late.

To her surprise, the city lord of Tangtang City turned out to be a bright-looking young woman, dressed in a black python robe, combed with a complex and solemn bun, and exquisite makeup, looking no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, but acting competently, in a hurry, speaking very fast, to hear her speak clearly, you must pay full attention and concentrate.

It was also from her words that Xie Zheng learned that since the discovery of the Soul Sacrifice Array in Chunhui City and the Three Cities of Tangzhou, the population of Tangtang City has begun to disappear, at first a few individuals disappeared, and then it was one by one.

The disappearance of these people is exactly the same as that of Jiangjia Village, there is no trace of struggle and resistance at the scene, they all suddenly evaporated from the world, and no evidence of their existence can be found.

If Xie Zheng hadn't found a corpse pit in the northern suburbs, I'm afraid there would be no clue about this matter so far.

So the topic was naturally pulled to Xie Zheng, and she was listening to it attentively, and was suddenly named by the female city lord, and she didn't react.

"Xie Daoyou, how did you find out about the anomaly in the northern suburbs? I waited in Tangtang City for several days, and I almost dug three feet into the ground, but I didn't find anything! ”

It was the disciples of the Kunlun Immortal Sect who spoke, and they were distressed, but they were really curious.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Xie Zheng thought for a moment and said honestly: "I smelled the smell of corpses in the ground, so I passed." ”

In fact, she was puzzled, how could other people not smell such a strong corpse smell?

Everyone fell silent for a moment, as if pondering the truth of her words.

Only the female city lord asked in a crisp voice, "Can that Daoyou still smell the smell of corpses in the city?" ”

Xie Zheng immediately nodded: "I can indeed smell it." ”

The female city lord's face remained unchanged, but instead showed a smile: "Speaking of which, two days ago, there was a young man who looked very similar to Daoyou, and he also came to the city lord's mansion to talk about the smell of corpses, but I sent someone to check and found nothing abnormal. ”

Xie Hyun? Can he smell corpses too?

"Did he say where the stench came from?"

The female city lord thought for a moment and replied, "Southeast." ”

As soon as she heard this, her heart sank, and a bold guess came out of her mind.

"Can I borrow pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?"

The female city lord immediately got up and gave up her main seat: "Fellow Daoist, please." ”

After speaking, he stood aside and grinded the ink, Xie Zheng immediately sat down in front of the desk, and drew a pen, but in the time of half a pillar of incense, a complicated formation diagram appeared on the paper.

Dao Sect has studied the formation method deeply, Gu Xinghui only glanced at it, and his face changed suddenly: "This is... Heavenly Machine Immortal Array? ”

South, south, north, west, each set up a sacrificial soul array for sacrificing living beings, and then connected by an intricate gossip array, this formation is by no means just an ordinary harmful evil array, sacrificing the soul and body, absorbing a large number of soul power and resentment of the human race and the demon race.

At the cost of paying such a huge price, including the entire Tangtang City in the big array, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

Xie Zheng put down the brush, raised his head and glanced at her approvingly: "Senior Sister Gu has good eyesight." ”

After that, she turned her head to look at the beautiful female city lord and said, "I have marked the location clearly, the corpse pit in the northern suburbs is here," she pointed to the soul sacrifice array in the north on the array map, and said: "If the city lord is willing to believe me, he can send someone to dig it, and he can always dig it." ”

The female city lord looked down at the formation diagram, and some disciples of famous sects sitting next to her were a little sneering, firstly, because they felt that she was blind, and secondly, they were too young, and they were little-known young immortal cultivators, which was difficult to convince.

Although she did find the corpse pit in the northern suburbs before, but the Zen Buddha walked with her, who knows who found that place?

"Hmph, you little girl is really unashamed, just draw a picture to solve the crisis in Tangtang City? Who do you think you are? If it's really so easy, in this Tangtang City today, there is still a need for so many disciples of famous sects? ”

The one who spoke was an extremely rugged-looking male cultivator, holding a long knife in his arms, with a contemptuous and disdainful expression on his face, very disdainful of Xie Zheng's grandiose words and deeds, looking at his rough clothes that were naturally carved and decorated, he should be a disciple of the Sword Sect in the bitter cold land of Yongzhou.

Xie Zheng stood up, gave way to the female city lord, and then turned around, curling his lips silently, and his voice was even sweet-

"Where is this ape that jumped out of its cage, how can it still learn to speak? Isn't it a refinement? ”
