As he spoke, the sky was getting dark.

Wu Tian and his entourage climbed over a low mountain, and in the distance, the outline of a city made of stones was like a lion crawling on the plain in the hazy dusk.

"Ishihara County," Wu Tian muttered.

"It's the county seat of Ishihara ahead!" Gu Tian shouted excitedly.

Seeing that the county seat was in front of them, everyone unconsciously quickened their pace.

The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, Wu Tian and a few people saw that Shiyuan County was in front of them, but it took more than an hour to reach the city wall, a huge stone city, all made of two zhang long stone strips neatly stacked, the stone wall in the moonlight actually reflected the cold light of the forest like a mirror, this is the defensive barrier on the city wall.

Looking at the ten-zhang high stone city wall, Wu Tian took a deep breath, Shiyuan County was far from being comparable to a border town like Woniu Town.

"Oh no, I've missed the world of entering the city!" Gu Tian sighed as he looked at the closed city gate.

"Can't enter the city at night?" Wu Tian also found the closed city gate and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yes! Since three months ago, there have been a series of murders in the city, and the victims of the murders were all cultivators, and they were sucked dry of their essence and died, and then a curfew began to be imposed. ”

"Murder? Sucking out the essence and blood? Could it be that the spirit did it?"

"This is not clear, the county government dispatched all the arrests, and even the county magistrate personally invited the patriarchs of the three major families to find out the murderer. ”

"The three families?" Wu Tian didn't have any interest in the murder, but instead had a strong interest in the three families in Gu Tian's mouth.

"Well, the Zhang, Li, and Chen families are the largest wealthy families in Shiyuan County, and I think my Gu family was also among them, but it's a pity..."

When Gu Tian said this, he was disappointed.

"Let him go through the past, people still have to look forward! Brother Gu, then there is no way to enter the city tonight?"

"There is a way to enter the city, but the cost is quite large. There is a small gate for messengers to enter and exit at the north gate, but the gatekeeper asks for a toll of one hundred taels of silver. ”

"Let's go, go to the north city gate, the silver is small, and you can't enter the city this night, which also adds to the risk. ”

Wu Tian and the others, under the leadership of Gu Tian, arrived at the North City Gate.

Gu Tian knowingly handed in five hundred silver, and the small door opened a crack in the door that only allowed one person to pass through, and several people saw the opportunity to get in.

Wu Tian and the others had just gotten into the crack in the door, and suddenly it was dark in front of them, and Wu Tian only shouted a sentence of "it" and immediately lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, Wu Tian woke up slowly, but found that his hands and feet were tied and he couldn't move, and a choking smell of blood went straight to his nose, and Wu Tian couldn't help retching twice.

Wu Tian looked around in horror and found that there were stone walls all around, and even the ceiling was made of stones.

The ground was also covered with black stones, with a hint of dark red in the black, as if the stones had been soaked in blood for a long time.

Wu Tian found that Wu Kun and the four of them were also tied hand and foot, so they were lying not far away, Wu Tian shouted twice in a low voice, but there was no response.

"My lord, this time I caught a few people from the second to eighth layers of the Qi cultivation period, who came from outside the city, and it seems that they are not from my Shiyuan County. ”

"Good!haha... The arrest of people in the county has aroused the vigilance of several major families, and now these people have been sent to the door, God really helps me!"

A bold and slightly hoarse voice accompanied by a burst of footsteps came from behind Wu Tian, and Wu Tian turned his head with difficulty.

I saw a middle-aged man in a yellow robe and a jade crown walking in under the embrace of a group of people, and the people behind him were all wearing clothes that caught fast, which made Wu Tian very puzzled.

"Look, these are the people!"

"Not bad! Not bad! There is a person from the eighth layer of the Qi cultivation period, and when I finish absorbing these people, I should almost break through! At that time, I will see that there is still someone in Ishihara County who dares to disobey the order!"

A head-hunting person beside the yellow-robed man at the head bowed his waist and said flatteringly, and after receiving two compliments from the yellow-robed man, his face was even more smiling.

"Congratulations, Congratulations, Congratulations, Congratulations!"

The crowd behind the yellow-robed man heard what the yellow-robed man said, and hurriedly shouted congratulations.

"Okay, you go out first, no one is allowed to come in without my order!

"Yes, sir!"

Then everyone retreated, leaving only the yellow-robed man alone, slowly walking towards Wu Tian and the others with a grim smile.

"Who are you?!" Wu Tian asked.

"Who am I? It seems that I am from another county, haha"

"The county... Lord County Order?!" A faint voice sounded next to him, it was Gu Tian who woke up, looked at the scene in front of him, and looked confused, but he quickly recognized the man in the yellow robe as the county order.

"Oh, someone knows me, who are you?!" The county order was shocked, because of the frequent disappearances of cultivators in the county recently, several major families were secretly investigating, and he didn't want to startle the snake before he broke through the Jindan stage.

"I am Gu Tian, a disciple of the Gu family, what does the county magistrate mean?" Gu Tian didn't understand the situation, and simply reported to his family.

"The ancient family? I think about it, haha..."The county order with a nervous face immediately relaxed, it seems that the Gu family has no status in his heart.

"Hmm... This... Where is this?"

At this time, the three elders of the Wu family also woke up, and their heads were still a little dazed, remembering that they were just at the gate of the city, and they were hacked as soon as they entered the door.

"Damn! This Shiyuan County is too dark, isn't it? Give us back the money! Isn't that kid Gu Tian intent on harming me?!"

Wu Laosan finally woke up and found that his hands and feet were tied, and he opened his mouth to scold.

"Three... Third uncle, I've been tied up too..."Gu Tian looked at the irritable Wu Laosan with a black line.

"Eh, what's going on? Where is this?" Wu Laosan was stunned.

"Shut up for me, why don't you talk so much when you're dying!" the county magistrate scolded a little impatiently.

"If I hadn't had to wait until the hour, it would have ended you up now, what a noise!"

"The county... Lord County Commander, could it be that you have committed all the murders in the past few months?" Gu Tian seemed to remember something, and asked with a frightened expression.

"Hmph! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you die and understand! The Soul Devouring Technique I have cultivated can devour the essence and blood of others to improve my cultivation, and if I devour a few of you today, I can break through the Jindan Period, and no one in Ishihara County will be able to match me from now on!haha...."

The county commander smiled frantically, drifting back and forth in this spacious stone room, and Wu Tian and the others felt a tingling scalp when they heard it.

"You actually practice such evil exercises! How different is this method from that demonic path?!"

Hearing this, Wu Kun shouted and scolded, and Wu Tian was shocked that there was such a technique in this world that absorbed the essence and blood of others to improve cultivation.

"If I get this kind of exercise, then wouldn't my cultivation be..."

"Bah, bah, how can you have such evil thoughts!"

Wu Tian shook his head, throwing this evil thought out of his mind.
