Bu Ji's narration was a bit stumbling, and Wei Feng needed to ask questions from time to time to understand what he was trying to say.

To sum up, it is very simple, they have not had anything unusual since they left yesterday, but when they came to the stronghold to gather this morning, they noticed that there were very dangerous people over there, so they didn't dare to go over, just squatted at the door, waiting for Wei Feng to warn him.

Wei Feng touched his nose, but he didn't expect that he rushed to breakfast on a whim today, and he arrived earlier than Bu Ji and the others.

He remembered that there were many new merchants in the caravan today, and that peeping at him was a little uncomfortable, and he was afraid that the so-called dangerous people were among the merchants.

-----------------

At the beginning of the day, the people of Baifu were already busy, and they needed to prepare all the necessary tasks for washing and changing clothes for their masters.

The cultivators of the Bai family generally do not like to be served, they need a quiet and undisturbed space, and Bai Shangjie is the same.

The subordinates would wait not far from the master's room, waiting to be summoned at any time, but they would not be bothered rashly on their own.

"Fourth master, the head of the family is invited." There was a knock on the door outside Bai Shangjie's room, he was the fourth in his family, and his subordinates generally called him the fourth master.

He frowned slightly, usually when he arrived at the door, Lao Li came to pass the word, but today he is the big steward, since he was a child, Lao Li has served him, Bai Shangjie has always left him as a personal summons, this is his person, and some rules in the big family are tacit.

"Got it." He replied lightly, and immediately got up and pushed open the door, and the chief steward bowed slightly at the door.

"Where's Lao Li?" He asked, as if unintentionally.

"Fourth master, you'll know when you get to the main hall." The chief steward's eyebrows were a little lower, but he sold a pass.

"Let's go, then."

The chief steward led the way in front of the head, Bai Shangjie followed expressionlessly, and quickly thought about what he had told Lao Li to do in the recent period, and whether there were any irregularities, but he couldn't help but suddenly think of the stiff body movements when Lao Li stepped back last night.

As he got closer and closer to the main hall, the foreboding in his heart grew, until he saw the seats in the main hall that were about to fill up, and a corpse lying on its stomach in the center of the hall, that sense of foreboding seemed to be confirmed.

He walked a few steps and squatted in front of the corpse, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his face a few times, and then probed into the Yuan Force to perceive it, and his face finally sank.

"The head of the house." He got up and saluted the head of the family, and asked in a deep voice, "Where was Lao Li's body found?" ”

Bai Jianxing, the current head of the Bai family, stretched out his hand to press it, signaling that he was not in a hurry: "Since you returned home the day before yesterday, have you ever found anything wrong with him?" ”

Bai Shangjie contemplated: "I was seriously injured when I returned the day before yesterday, so I went directly to the medicine hall, and the medicine hall steward brought me healing medicine after diagnosis and treatment.

Last night, I summoned him to ask if the arrangements had been completed, and let him leave after a few more words.

It's just that...... It's just that I vaguely felt that Lao Li's movements were a little stiff, thinking that it had been raining continuously for the past two days, maybe because of some pain on his body, so I didn't ask, but I didn't think about it......"

"I don't blame you." Bai Jianxing stretched out his hand to stop his words: "Lao Li was found in the Martial Academy, he was planted with some kind of spell and hung for a breath, Shang Wu sent someone to inform me after he found out that something was wrong, and I removed the spell on his body and he was cut off." ”

Bai Shangwu is Bai Shangjie's second brother, and the martial arts courtyard is the name he gave to his small courtyard.

"Spells?" Many people in the hall were a little unfamiliar with this statement, and they turned their eyes to the head of the family.

Bai Jianxing shook his head slightly: "Spell is an extremely remote way to use Yuan Power, which can condense Yuan Power into a technique in the body of a living being, so as to achieve curses, seals, or manipulation.

There used to be a Miao family in Zhanzhou who was good at this, but it was wiped out three thousand years ago and the inheritance was broken, and even the school palace only partially recorded it.

You all learned about that disaster three thousand years ago when you were a child, and all kinds of niche cultivation systems were almost extinct after that, and I just speculated based on the characteristics that appeared, so it's hard to say whether it was specific. ”

Then he changed his words and said in a deep voice: "I just asked the chief steward to ask the next person, Lao Li has not made any unnecessary moves in the past few days, except for the trivial things that should be done, he has been staying in Shang Jie's courtyard, and he has no intention of exploring the rest of the Bai Mansion, which means that his goal is very clear, that is, Shang Jie."

When you returned the day before yesterday, you were seriously injured and did not report this encounter to your family, but now that you are almost recovering, you will tell you more about what you experienced during this outing. ”

Bai Shangjie nodded and began to speak.

He went out this time at the invitation of a good friend, Ding Yichuan, a teacher at the Academy, to carry out the mission sent by the Academy, to investigate the cause of the 100,000 barren mountains a few months ago.

Ding Yichuan originally planned to complete it independently, but he was in the critical period of the Longmen Realm, and the cost of going all out was too great, so he called Bai Shangjie, who was in the Expansion Pulse Realm, to assist.

The two did not dare to go deep into the 100,000 barren mountains, only operated outside the core area, and met a fugitive during the operation, it was normal to meet a fugitive in the 100,000 barren mountains and mottled lakes, but it happened that Bai Shangjie and that person had a grudge before.

With Ding Yichuan by his side, the fugitive was unable to join forces with the two and could only escape, and the two chased for a while to let the man escape, so they strayed into a cave.

There was a blue energy vortex floating quietly in the cave, Ding Yichuan had come to investigate, and when he saw this scene, his eyes were incomprehensible, and then he boldly stepped forward to try, Bai Shangjie also followed, and the two entered another space through the vortex.

The space is huge, and there are many strange places, and there are strange beasts to chase and kill, the two of them tried their best to exterminate the strange beasts, and obtained a jade talisman-like treasure, the two did not know its use, but saw that its texture was extraordinary, containing mysterious energy, after some discussion, it was decided to let Ding Yichuan take it back to the school palace for study.

But when they chased and killed the fugitives before, the movement was too loud, which had attracted the attention of many people hiding in the shadows, and it was a little inappropriate to swagger out, and the two decided that Ding Yichuan would carry the jade talisman to appear in front of him, and Bai Shangjie would sneak away.

In this way, if someone pays attention to the two of them, there is a high probability that they will track Bai Shangjie, but they will not stare at Ding Yichuan on the surface, as for those who can't find Bai Shangjie's traces, it means that their ability is average, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to pose a threat to Ding Yichuan.

Although the tactics of the two were very risky, they still played a certain role, and the strength of those who were attracted by Bai Shangjie was not weak, otherwise they would not have been able to seriously injured him, but Ding Yichuan didn't know if he escaped or not.

After he returned home, he ordered someone to squat in the school palace, if Ding Yichuan returned to the school palace, he would go back and forth, it has only been three days, and the result is still unknown.
