The Gray Forest Mountain Range is located at the junction of Tianlin Country and Zeyun Country. Because of its proximity to the ancient battlefield, the aura of evil is strong, so it is inaccessible and monsters are scarce. It wasn't until 600 years ago that someone accidentally discovered several large Xuanjing iron mines in the underground mountain range, which attracted a lot of scattered cultivation forces to compete, and slowly formed a small city called Yinyue at the foot of the southeast mountain.

The small city occupies a small area, but there are formations, towers, attics, shops, restaurants, and inns, and people come and go, and the noise is endless.

In the north of the city, at the top of the nine-story black tower, an old man in a green robe was pranayama with his eyes closed.

The old man's face was thin, his two eye sockets were sunken, he looked like a skeleton, and the cold aura exuded from his body made people shudder.

Suddenly, the yin qi in the room was rolling, and Su Mo appeared out of thin air and said lightly: "You are Lin Meng?"

The old man in the green robe was frightened, and his hands were about to move, when a cold and sharp thing hit his forehead, and there was a slight tingling pain.

The old man's body stiffened there, and he had no doubt that if he dared to make any moves, his head would be pierced by the flying sword in an instant!

As a human spirit who has been rolling in the cultivation world for nearly a hundred years, the old man in the green robe didn't dare to be lucky, and replied honestly: "The old man is Lin Meng, I don't know what the son commands?"

Su Mo asked in a deep voice, "Three years ago, did you meet a loose cultivator named Wu Xiao in Qingcang City?"

Lin Meng's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "What Gongzi said is good, the old man had just broken through to the ninth layer of Qi cultivation at that time, and he was going to go to the Qingcang Mountain Range to find the Purple Heart Flower to consolidate his foundation. met Wu Xiao on the way, and they could talk about it, so they traveled together for a while. However, after finding the Purple Heart Flower, the old man left Qingcang City, and never contacted Wu Xiao again, and asked Gongzi Mingjian!"

Su Mo said indifferently: "Tell me in detail about your friendship with Wu Xiao. ”

Lin Meng said cautiously: "Lao Yu and Wu Xiao met in the restaurant, and when I saw that he talked extraordinarily and traveled alone, I had the idea of making friends. Later, for the sake of safety, they joined the Blue Thunder Demon Hunting Group together. Wu Xiao has a sleek personality and is good at meeting the source left and right, and less than two months after entering the demon hunting group, he became the captain of other teams. Usually everyone is very busy, and slowly the relationship between us has faded. After finding the Purple Heart Flower, I left the Demon Hunter Group and was invited to settle in Lunar Moon City, so I didn't know much. ”

Most of the demon hunting groups are loosely organized, with the purpose of hunting demon beasts, exploring ruins, and collecting elixir and spiritual materials, with minimal constraints on the monks under their command, and they can come and go freely.

Su Mo frowned slightly, and the Shadow Sword stepped forward for half a minute, stabbing out a blood mark, "In addition, what other characteristics does Wu Xiao have?" Think about it, don't let go of any details." ”

"Childe, slow down, the old man remembers!" Lin Meng trembled, and immediately said loudly: "Wu Xiao should be an alchemist, there are a lot of poisons in his hands, and he is very clever in using poison, and he once poisoned three blood bats of the same level of cultivation with a wave of his hand!"

After half a pillar of incense, Su Mo left the tower and came to a remote courtyard, looking depressed.

Since he was forced to accept this sect mission two months ago, he searched everywhere and painstakingly to track down the whereabouts of a demon cultivator named Momiji Gongzi, across several county towns, but he gained little.

This demonic practice is cautious, and every time he stays in a place or comes into contact with a person, he will erase all traces before leaving. Just like the Qinglei Demon Hunting Regiment that was inexplicably besieged by demon beasts, except for the scattered cultivators who left in the early years, the head of the second realm consummated, down to the newcomers who have just entered the cultivation, and hundreds of cultivators, none of them were spared, which caused quite a stir in Qingcang City!

Su Mo sighed and comforted himself: "However, if you can get the news that Hongye Gongzi is good at using poison, it is not in vain to make this trip." ”

Su Mo took out the map, looked at it for a moment, waved his right hand, took out the green jade flying boat, jumped onto it, and galloped away in the southwest direction.

Ten days later, Su Mo stood on the top of a steep mountain, looking into the distance, looking a little tired.

For him, this kind of continuous pursuit, the task of competing with all kinds of difficult human spirits, peeling away the cocoons from the plain clues, and completely testing the mind and strategy is much more difficult than fighting the enemy.

Qiyun Mountain Range is a branch of the Qingcang Mountain Range, the aura of heaven and earth is rich, the elixir is rich, and the demon beasts are frequent, and there are often cultivators who come here to hunt, among which there are many strong people who cultivate in the third or even fourth realms.

In order to curb the demon beasts of the Qingcang Mountain Range, under the initiative of Taixuanzong, the local wealthy clans and demon hunters in Flame County united into an alliance, spending a lot of resources and spending several years to build a prosperous town in the northern part of the Qiyun Mountain Range to deter the demon beasts in the mountain range.

At noon, Su Mo paid two spirit stones in front of the city gate, walked along the main street to the central square, and stopped in front of a richly decorated attic.

Su Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, the golden light in his eyes flowed, and after a careful observation, his figure flashed, and disappeared in place in an instant.

"Who dares to break into my Black Cloud Demon Hunting Regiment's station!"

In the private room on the third floor, Ning Wuji, who was sitting cross-legged pranayama, opened his eyes suddenly, opened his five fingers, bent like a hook, and grabbed the position of the window!

Yuan Li swept away like a wave of water, Su Mo Shi Ran walked out of it, with a faint smile, the index finger and middle finger of his left hand stood side by side, and the cold light appeared in the void, piercing and shattering the giant claw of Yuan Li.

Ning Wujian was shocked in his heart, and suddenly got up, and the cultivation in the early stage of foundation building exploded, and he was magnificent, ready to strike again.

Su Mo took the lead and arched his hand: "Su Mo, a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Lower Taixuan Sect, took the liberty to disturb the chief today, and asked Deputy Head Ning to forgive me." ”

Ning Wuqian saw that Su Mo did not have the slightest murderous aura, so he hurriedly put away his momentum and said respectfully: "It turned out to be a disciple of Taixuanzong, I don't know what to tell you to come to find the old man?"

Although the status of the Black Cloud Demon Hunting Group in Qiyun City is not low, it is not even a third-rate force in Agni County, let alone compared to a behemoth like Taixuanzong.

The most important thing is that in Ning Wuji's eyes, Su Mo's aura was chaotic, like a cloud, and with his penance-clearing skills for many years, he couldn't see through the other party's depth at all, so he naturally didn't dare to do it again.

Su Mo said with a smile: "Senior Ning is polite, and he has taken over a more tricky sect task. According to some clues found, I came to your place and wanted to ask Senior Ning to help one or two. ”

Ning Wujian waved his hand and said angrily: "Young Master Su is polite, thanks to the blessing of Taixuanzong, the Qiyun Mountain Range can be peaceful in the past few hundred years." What is the dispatch of Childe, despite the orders, the Black Cloud Demon Hunter Group must do their best. Just listen to Childe's meaning, is this mission related to the old man?"

Su Mo said softly: "That's true, I heard that the seniors have been in the Snow Eagle Demon Hunting Group for a while?"

Ning Wuwu nodded and said, "Five years ago, when the old man had not yet built a foundation, he did stay in the Snow Eagle Demon Hunting Regiment. However, three months later, after gathering all the elixir needed to build the foundation, the old man withdrew. Is Childe here for the destruction of the Snow Eagle Hunting Clan?"

Su Mo bowed his head and said, "The head of the Snow Eagle Demon Hunting Troupe, You, has some relationship with a senior brother of my Qixia Peak. After the Snow Eagle Demon Hunter Group was ambushed, my senior brother had secretly investigated for a long time, but he could never find the murderer, and in desperation, he issued a mission in the Law Enforcement Palace. ”

Ning Wuji's pupils flashed slightly, and he said without the slightest abnormality: "So that's the case." It's a pity that the old man hasn't been in the Snow Eagle Demon Hunting Group for a long time, and he has limited understanding of Head You, so he may be about to disappoint Childe. ”

Su Mo was silent for a moment and continued: "I heard that when my predecessor was in the Snow Eagle Demon Hunting Regiment, he had a good relationship with a casual cultivator named Wu Xiao?"

Ning Wuqian thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Wu Xiao, what Gongzi is talking about is a middle-aged man who is good at using drugs?"

Su Mo's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded: "Yes, it is this person." I don't know if there is any connection between my predecessor and this loose cultivator? As far as I know, this person has appeared in Qingcang City many times after the fall of the Snow Eagle Demon Hunting Troupe, and if I can find him, I may be able to find out the truth of the past. ”

Ning Wujian shook his head and said, "Childe may have misunderstood, the old man and Wu Xiao are actually just general friends." And as far as I know, the Snow Eagle Demon Hunting Group was destroyed after Wu Xiao left Qingcang City, and this matter should have little to do with him. ”

Su Mo frowned slightly, with a disappointed look on his face, and sighed: "I didn't expect that after running around for several months, there would be no clues at all." Forget it, let's return to the sect and return the task, and let those inner disciples solve it!"

"Inner disciple?" Ning Wuji's face changed slightly.

Su Mo nodded and said: "That senior brother is eager for revenge, I will return in vain this time, with his temperament, he will definitely raise the task from the Yellow List to the Xuan List, and spend a lot of money to directly include it in the blood list of the Law Enforcement Palace." Judging from the remuneration for preparation, I am afraid that there will be many inner disciples who will make a move. ”

In order to facilitate the tempering of disciples and maintain the peace of the Three Kingdoms, Taixuanzong divided the issued tasks into four levels: Yellow, Xuan, Earth, and Heaven according to the needs of the sect, the degree of difficulty, the potential threat, and the size of the loss. They correspond to the disciples of Qi Lian, Zhuji, Jindan, and Yuanying Realm cultivation.

Under normal circumstances, disciples in the sect can only receive tasks that match their own cultivation, and they are not allowed to skip the rank or compete with disciples with lower cultivation for tasks. In order to avoid bullying or accidents, causing unnecessary losses.

Quests issued by the Temple of Quests are usually open to the entire sect, but if a quest causes too much damage, takes too long, or the bounty holder wants to complete the quest as soon as possible. You can increase the reward of the mission's spirit points, put it on the blood list, and the law enforcement disciple will receive it to complete. Or offer a reward to the Taoist cultivators of the entire Three Kingdoms.
