Chapter 285: The Inn Shopkeeper of Fear!
Tang Hui's arrival still did not attract the attention of the thin young man, and the big man Tian Yu did not say more, but the dissatisfaction in his expression was even stronger, in his opinion, Li Xuanfeng and Tang Hui, the two junior brothers and sisters with low cultivation, actually made them wait for a lot of time beside the teleportation array!
Among the five people in the group, Li Xuanfeng's cultivation was the weakest, only in the early stage of the Spirit Infant Realm, although he had already heard that Li Xuanfeng was strong, but Tian Yu did not believe that he could defeat himself at the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Infant Realm!
Although Tian Yu has a rough body, his combat power is also not weak, and he can already exert a combat power that is close to the perfection of the Spirit Infant Realm, he has long heard that Li Xuanfeng has shown the combat power of the late stage of the Spirit Infant Realm in the Trial Secret Realm, but he still dismisses it!
There is still a big gap between the late stage of the Spirit Infant Realm and the near-consummation of the Spirit Infant Realm, if it is a real battle of life and death, it will continue to eliminate the other, and this gap will continue to widen!
After the group of five people introduced each other to each other, Yang Ye said softly: "Since all the people have arrived, then let's set off for Heavenly Chosen City immediately." ”
Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly, with the combat power of the five people, it should be easy to complete the high-level task, and there seems to be nothing wrong with this trip.
However, Li Xuanfeng did not relax in the slightest because of this, after entering the cultivation world, he had long been accustomed to being cautious and cautious, which was a habit that could save his life at a critical moment!
Several other people also nodded in agreement, and the withdrawn Liu Ying also opened his eyes that had been slightly closed, got up and looked at Li Xuanfeng and the others, waiting to leave for Heavenly Chosen City.
Then the five of them entered the teleportation array together, and when they entered the teleportation array, Tang Hui followed closely beside Li Xuanfeng, if people who didn't know saw this scene, they might think that she was Li Xuanfeng's little daughter-in-law.
For Tang Hui's follow, Li Xuanfeng had a headache, but he couldn't leave directly at this time, he had already taken over the task of the sect and needed to go to Heavenly Chosen City to complete it.
Although he can take the initiative to give up the task of the sect, his task is to be forcibly assigned, and if he gives up, he needs to pay a price far beyond the normal task!
"Senior Brother Li, this time to complete the mission of the sect, you have to protect me. Inside the teleportation array, Tang Hui laughed softly beside Li Xuanfeng.
"Senior Sister Tang, my strength is shallow, and I am afraid that it is difficult to be competent for this matter, so you should find Senior Brother Yang Ye for protection. Li Xuanfeng replied to Tang Hui in a flat tone.
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, Tang Hui was silent instantly, the smile on her face dissipated, and a strong sense of disappointment rose in her heart, she had never met someone as incomprehensible as Li Xuanfeng, who was indifferent to her and rejected her thousands of miles away.
But it was precisely because of this that Tang Hui's strong competitiveness was aroused, and she didn't believe it, she couldn't even cure Li Xuanfeng, a hairy boy.
After saying Fang Cai's words, Li Xuanfeng observed Tang Hui with the corner of his eye, and found that her eyes showed a thick look of disappointment at the beginning, but it quickly turned into firmness, so that Li Xuanfeng knew helplessly in his heart that this matter would not end so easily!
After Yang Ye explained the destination to the disciples guarding the teleportation array, the disciples of the guarding array immediately took out the token and opened the teleportation array, and in the distorted power generated by the teleportation, Li Xuanfeng and the five disappeared from this place in an instant!
Not many people knew about the departure of Li Xuanfeng's five people, and these people were all disciples on duty of the Dao Sect, so they would not disclose the matter, so that the other disciples did not know about it at all, and Li Xuanfeng and the others had already teleported away from the Dao Dao Sect!
Tens of thousands of miles away from the Dao Dao Sect, there was a huge city built of red stone, although it was not as large as the Dao Dao City, it was already half the size of the Dao Sect.
In the middle of the city, there are countless shops and attics, and countless mortals and a small number of monks walk the streets of the city, densely packed like a constantly flowing river.
This city is the destination of Li Xuanfeng's five people, Tianze City!
Tianze City is the top city in the Cangyu Continent, and it is not within the jurisdiction of the Dao Sect, but within the sphere of influence of one of the other two major sects!
It is precisely because of this that the three disciples lost contact in this city, and the Dao Sect needs to send disciples to investigate!
If it was within the jurisdiction of the Dao Sect, there were a large number of people from the Dao Sect in each city, and there was no need to go so far as to investigate this matter.
At this time, where the teleportation array of Tianze City was located, a brilliant light suddenly bloomed in one of the teleportation arrays, instantly attracting the attention of the guards sitting near this place.
Although attracted by the teleportation light, several guards did not get up, nor did they be vigilant, this place was already close to the center of the Cangyu Continent, and they did not dare to have any intruders enter this place at all, which was equivalent to looking for death!
As the bright light in the teleportation array dissipated, the figures of Li Xuanfeng's five people were revealed in the eyes of these guards.
For the others, these guards didn't care, but they were all attracted by Yang Ye, and the purple robe Yang Ye was wearing was instantly recognized by them.
Seeing the purple robe on Yang Ye's body, most of the guards instantly stared, and they were extremely surprised that there were purple-clothed disciples of the Dao Sect who came to Tianze City.
The number of purple-clothed disciples of the Dao Sect is not large, and it is extremely difficult to see them in normal times, and most of these guards are seeing real people for the first time.
However, they thought of the mysterious disappearance of three disciples of the Dao Sect in Tianze City five days ago, and they also understood that the five people led by the purple-clothed disciples should all be disciples of the Dao Sect, and they came to investigate this matter.
The guards of the teleportation array just stared at Li Xuanfeng and the five of them for a moment, and did not pay attention to them, and the five of Li Xuanfeng did not go to greet these guards, but immediately walked out of the teleportation array and went straight to the city.
Under the leadership of Yang Ye, Li Xuanfeng and the five of them soon came to an inn.
"This is where the three missing sect disciples lived at the time, and now their rooms have been sealed off, waiting for us to investigate the matter. ”
It seems that for the sake of strict secrecy, the details of this mission are all in the hands of Yang Ye, the leader of the team, and Li Xuanfeng and the others do not know.
This made Li Xuanfeng feel a little ridiculous in his heart, as if they were people who had come to be Yang Ye's foil, they didn't know anything about the task, so they could only follow Yang Ye to complete the task.
Then Yang Ye took Li Xuanfeng and a few people into the inn and came directly to the counter, Yang Ye directly took out the sect token and slapped it on the counter.
The shopkeeper of this inn is a middle-aged man, after seeing the token on the stage, he raised his head in great surprise, and when he saw the purple clothes on Yang Ye's body, the pupils of his eyes shrank, and he said very respectfully:
"It turned out that five immortals from the Dao Sect came to the shop, making the shop flourish. ”
This middle-aged shopkeeper was not an immortal cultivator, just a mortal, but he had a lot of knowledge, and he instantly recognized the purple robe on Yang Ye's body, and suddenly felt a strong pressure in his heart!
Yang Ye didn't speak, but his eyes were locked on the shopkeeper, as if he wanted to see if this person was abnormal.
"Shangxian, you are here to investigate the disappearance of the three disciples of your sect, and I will take you to the room where they live. The middle-aged shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke again.
Hearing his words, Yang Ye nodded slightly, and the middle-aged shopkeeper took Yang Ye and Li Xuanfeng to the second floor of the inn.
Soon, the group came to the second floor of the inn near the end of the corridor, where three rooms were unusually locked, and each door even had two seals on it!
"This is sealed by the city guards, after knowing that these three disciples are missing, your sect will spread the word and seal their rooms and wait for you to come and investigate!"
"Open the door. Yang Ye nodded slightly and said lightly.
The middle-aged shopkeeper immediately took out the key to unlock the lock, and tore off the seal to open the door, welcoming Li Xuanfeng and the others into the room.
The room is not very large, and there is not much furnishings in it, only a table, four chairs, a bed and a few potted plants, which seems relatively simple.
This kind of room is only for the guests who come to stay overnight, and it does not need to be very complete, and it is enough to have a table and bed.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged shopkeeper, Li Xuanfeng and the five of them carefully inspected the three guest rooms one by one.
Everyone found that the two rooms on both sides were not abnormal in the slightest, as if no one had ever lived in them, and they were still clean and immaculate.
Only in the middle room, there is still uncleaned wine and food on the table, and there is already a rancid smell coming out of the dishes at this time!
"Shangxian, at that time, the three people of your sect directly rented the guest room for a month, without their permission, we did not enter the room again, who knew that the news of the disappearance of the three came in two days, and the three rooms were soon sealed as they were, and these dishes were ordered by the three of them at that time. ”
Seeing Li Xuanfeng and the five of them staring at the wine and food on this table, the middle-aged shopkeeper immediately explained nervously.
He didn't dare to imagine what a terrifying consequence it would be if the Immortal Sect determined that the three disciples had disappeared in his inn!
After checking for a while, Tian Yu immediately analyzed Yang Ye in a flattering tone: "Senior Brother Yang, there is not much wine and food left over from this table, and there is not the slightest trace of a fight in the three rooms, the missing three should have left the inn after eating and drinking, and disappeared outside the inn!"
Hearing Tian Yu's words of invitation, Li Xuanfeng's expression did not change in the slightest, but a trace of ridicule appeared in his heart, and he slandered Tian Yu: "Such a simple trace, as long as you are not stupid, you can see it, do you still need to remind you?"
According to Li Xuanfeng's observation, this matter was as he expected, hearing Tian Yu's words, Yang Ye did not speak, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Ying's mouth, and Tang Hui rolled his eyes directly, making Tian Yu's face instantly become quite embarrassed.
"Shopkeeper, I wonder when the three of them left the inn?" Yang Ye was silent for a moment and asked the middle-aged shopkeeper.
"According to the little two of our shop, they ordered these drinks and dishes in the evening five days ago, left before dark, and never came back!" the shopkeeper replied immediately, as if he was ready to be questioned by the people of the Dao Sect.
"Shopkeeper, you seem to have prepared the words that you need to answer when we investigate?" At this moment, Yang Ye suddenly asked with a smile!
"Plop!" Yang Ye's words instantly frightened the middle-aged shopkeeper's legs weak, and he fell directly to the ground, explaining in a trembling voice:
"After this incident, I have been worried that you will come to investigate, and I am worried that I will not be able to bear the blame, so I have been preparing to answer your words, I hope don't blame you!"
Seeing the middle-aged shopkeeper look so frightened, Yang Ye's expression still seemed to be smiling, his eyes were staring down at him, and he didn't seem to believe his words!
"Shangxian, you must believe what you say. Seeing Yang Ye's expression, the middle-aged shopkeeper didn't dare to get up, and begged for mercy again.
Although in Tianze City, monks and mortals coexist peacefully, but the status of mortals is much lower than that of monks, and at this time, three disciples disappeared in his inn, Yang Ye is still a purple-clothed disciple of the Dao Sect with a high status, and if he is beheaded, no one will stand up for him, not even those who hold grievances!
Seeing Yang Ye's questioning of the middle-aged shopkeeper, Li Xuanfeng and the four of them just watched quietly and did not speak, but Li Xuanfeng's eyes flashed incomprehensibly, and he looked at Yang Ye twice, and seemed to find in his heart that this person was not as gentle as he appeared!
Then Li Xuanfeng shook his head in his heart, temporarily suppressing this thought, maybe it was just that he was so strong against doubtful people and enemies, it was really normal, and who would be gentle with the enemy?
