"Didn't you smell it this time?"

Murong Yan saw Erha's reaction and asked a little strangely.

"No, it seems to have found an important clue."

Wu You pretended that he couldn't communicate directly with his dog, and after pretending to make a few gestures, he said ambiguously.

"I'd suggest you'd better inform Lord Shenzhu."

"It looks like I've caught a big fish."

"Huh? Got a clue so soon? ”

Murong Yan was a little incredulous, but for the sake of conservatism, she still chose to report to her superiors.

The two soon came to the county office, and Murong Yan introduced:

"This is the god of our six doors, Lord Tie Zhiqiu Tie."

"My lord, this is the righteous man who gave us clues, his name is Wu You."

When the three met, they didn't say much, and after a few words of greeting, they chatted about the case.

"Lord Tie, just now we went to the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall in this county and found a new clue."

"The owner of the Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion, whose real name is Hong Lei, is a martial artist in the Qi Refining Realm."

"This man's wife died early and has been widowed for many years. There was a son under his knees, and several apprentices. ”

"Half a month ago, his son reported to the Liumen branch of the county government, saying that Hong Lei had disappeared at home and was afraid that he had been killed by the enemy."

"When the county head catcher arrived at the scene, he saw that the door of Hong Lei's bedroom was violently opened, and there were traces of a fight in the house, but there was no blood."

"At that time, judging from the situation, Hong Lei was kidnapped by a high-level martial artist, and it was suspected that Wei Sanjue committed the crime."

"Today, Wu You and I inspected several Taoist martial arts halls in the nearby county, and we all found traces of Wei Sanjue's visit, and these disappearances are probably related to this person."

"After arriving at the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, there are additional discoveries."

Murong Yan briefly introduced the situation to Tie Zhiqiu, and then gestured to Wu You with his eyes.

Wu You clasped his fist to Tie Zhiqiu, and then said:

"Lord Tie, today I took the spirit dog to the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, but I found a situation that was different from several other scenes."

"In the Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion, Wei Sanjue's aura is very obvious, and it is estimated that he has been there many times."

"If you pursue this aura, you may find Wei Sanjue's hiding place."

After listening to the situation report, Tie Zhiqiu encouraged the two of them a few words, and immediately ordered someone to prepare horses and go to the scene of the crime.

Erha led the way ahead, stopping from time to time, sniffing left and right, and then continuing to run in one direction.

The three of them rode on horses and followed Erha. From the martial arts hall in the county, it has been traced to the mountains and wilderness on the outskirts.

——

In the wilderness on the outskirts of the city, in a naturally occurring cave.

Hong Lei knelt on the ground with his legs on his legs, holding a torch high in his hand, his eyes were full of eagerness, looking at the strange scene in front of him.

In front of him, a man in black held a sharp blade and looked mad.

The man in black is none other than Wei Sanjue.

At this time, he was holding a dagger in his hand and facing the altar. A shrine to a deity is being worshipped.

Beside him, there were three other captives who had passed out with their hands and feet tied.

"The Almighty Beastmaster."

"I am your faithful slave."

"I sacrifice to you the flesh of the transcendent."

"Pray for your grace and mercy."

After worshipping the idol, Wei Sanjue stood up and used the sharp blade in his hand to cut the throats of the three unconscious captives one by one.

Blood gushed from his throat, and the blood of the three people, on the rocks on the ground, quickly spread.

At this time, the statue of the tiger-headed human body on the altar suddenly shone brightly.

A colorful phantom of a tiger emerged from the idol.

With one mouth, the tiger devoured the captives on the ground who had been sacrificed.

Then he turned and walked away, and went back into the idol.

"Pray for your grace and mercy."

"Pray for your grace and mercy."

Wei Sanjue knelt on the ground again, repeating what he had just said.

After a long time, the golden light flickered on the statue, and a blue-gray mist appeared.

Wei Sanjue held the fog ball in both hands, bowed his body and slowly retreated, and motioned to Hong Lei behind him to leave with him.

After leaving the cave, Wei Sanjue stood up straight, recovering his gloomy expression, and he couldn't see any humility and piety at all.

"Do you know what this is?"

Wei Sanjue asked Hong Lei with a sneer.

"This is the spiritual foundation, the lifeblood of our monks."

"It's also the advanced method you've been looking for."

"Now, as long as you swallow it in one bite, you can immediately advance to the third order and fulfill your dream for half your life."

Hong Lei's face was eager and hesitant.

"Senior, you said that I am a second-order martial artist, if I eat the spirit base extracted from this third-order Taoist priest, will there be a problem?"

"Go with confidence."

Wei Sanjue grabbed Hong Lei's neck and forcibly stuffed the gray mist in his hand into his mouth.

"I'm also curious to see if there will be any problems with that."

"If I could ensure success, I would have used it on myself a long time ago."

"If you do, you will prove that this path works."

"In this way, I can rest assured and bold to hunt and kill the Taoist Jiedan monk and achieve the martial arts golden pill."

When Hong Lei heard this, he was even more angry.

However, the strength is stronger than others, and Hong Lei's cultivation of refining Qi Realm, in the hands of Wei Sanjue, there is no room for resistance at all.

Wei Sanjue completely stuffed the spiritual foundation in his hand into Hong Lei's mouth, and then threw this person to the ground and stood aside to observe.

Hong Lei was lying on the ground, rolling with his head in his hands, feeling a splitting headache.

It was as if someone had inflated his skull, and his whole head was about to explode.

It lasted for an unknown amount of time, but the headache never went away.

Suddenly, Wei Sanjue's ears moved slightly, and when he heard the sound of galloping horses in the distance, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"This group of dogs is really chasing hard."

Wei Sanjue dodged into the cave and carefully put the idol on the altar into the wooden box.

Then holding the wooden box in one hand and grabbing Hong Lei with the other, he ran wildly into the depths of the dense forest.

At the foot of the mountain, Wu You and the three of them were following Erha's footsteps and riding their horses.

Suddenly, Tie Zhiqiu looked up at the deep mountains in the distance.

"Want to run?"

He stepped on the stirrups with both legs, and the whole person rose into the air. Jumping deep into the forest with a light body method is several times faster than riding a horse on the road.

The two martial arts masters fled and chased after each other, leaving Wu You and Murong Yan looking at each other.

Although Wei Sanjue is good at light work, he took the lead in launching. But he has a heavy burden on his body.

Seeing that, the distance between the two was constantly being pulled in.

Just when Tie Zhiqiu had already seen the former's back and was about to catch up.

Wei Sanjue suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha, it's done, it's done!"

And threw the person holding him hostage in his hand in front of Tie Zhiqiu.

Tie Zhiqiu, as a famous catcher, naturally experienced a hundred battles in the face of this kind of chase scene.

Seeing a figure flying in front of him, he didn't care whether he was friend or foe. When reaching out to catch it, he used the acupoint technique to restrain it, and then threw it on the ground.

Hardly any time was lost, and he continued to get up and catch up.
