Chapter 48: The Trap
Amu's speculation shocked several people.
It's better to be someone from a certain office, otherwise, if it is a monk above the foundation and has divine sense, he can completely find Lu Ren who is eavesdropping.
Continue to speculate, if Lu Ren who is overheard is found and still let him get the news, then this is very likely to be a trap!
It's scary to think about!
Ah Mu and Zheng Rong glanced at each other, and both of them looked solemn.
Ah Mu said: "I hope it's not what we think, otherwise, I'm afraid those two people will be more than lucky!"
Zheng Rong didn't say a word, but he increased the output of spiritual power to Xiangyun and raised the flight speed to the extreme.
Gao Jie on the side didn't know what dumb riddles his captain and Amu were playing, but he felt that the atmosphere was abnormal, and he vaguely guessed that something big had happened to Xu, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.
Several people were silent all the way, and finally arrived at the mine at dusk on the fifth day.
Ignoring anything else, Zheng Rong led Amu Gaojie and the two directly into an inconspicuous small courtyard in the town near the mine.
Suddenly, a sound was heard, and a young man with a bookish life walked out of the room quickly.
Seeing the person coming, his face showed obvious joy: "Captain!"
Zheng Rong was in a hurry, eagerly grabbed the book and asked the angry man, "Dongzhe, Lu Ren, do they have any news?"
The scholarly man known as Dongzhe disappeared with a smile and shook his head worriedly: "No." β
Zheng Rong's face became even more ugly: "Do you know where they went?"
Dongzhe shook his head again: "The day after they left, I went to look for them, but I was almost discoveredβ"
At this time, Amu opened his mouth: "How were you discovered?"
Dong Zhe saw that it was a strange woman, and glanced at Zheng Rong, at this time Zheng Rong was full of worries, and said simply: "This is Amu, my own person." β
Ah Mu took over the words: "Hello, I'm Jiang Mu." β
"I'm Wang Dongzhe. β
After exchanging names with each other, Dong Zhe explained to Ah Mu: "Among the outer disciples in charge of the mine, there is a steward surnamed Li, who practices qi at the ninth level. β
"The ninth layer of Qi cultivation?" Ah Mu frowned and recalled: "It is said that the outer disciples who were sent here, except for a general manager of the foundation building period who did not come often, the other people who were resident here were all below the seventh level of Qi training. β
The mine is protected by the formation set up by the sect, and the spirit stones are regularly transported back and forth by the foundation building realm demon beasts of the Beast Taming Hall, so the cultivation of the disciples who stay here to mine does not need to be very high, and the qi training period is enough.
Dong Zhe showed a hint of surprise, and couldn't help but look sideways at Ah Mu: "Ah Mu should be here for the first time, right? β
Amu looked calm: "Before I came, I checked some information related to this mine. If the information is correct, the Steward Li you mentioned only broke through after coming to the mine?"
Dong Zhe nodded: "After our investigation, when Steward Li didn't arrive at the mine five years ago, he was only at the seventh level of Qi training, and today, five years later, he has broken through to the ninth layer of Qi training.
This kind of speed would not be strange if it was placed on any inner disciple, but he was just an ordinary outer disciple, and it had taken him more than seventy years to cultivate to the seventh level of qi cultivation, and his qualifications were inferior among all outer disciples. β
For Ah Mu, breaking through from the seventh layer of Qi cultivation to the ninth layer of Qi cultivation in five years was really nothing, but recently she had learned a lot of common sense, and she understood that such a speed was already a noteworthy thing for outer disciples.
Especially when he was being targeted by the Law Enforcement Hall, what other places did was seamless, and this cultivation speed became the biggest suspicion.
"Did you find anything out of the ordinary?"
"Yes-" Dong Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "Lu Ren once saw Steward Li trading with a stranger, and as far as I guess, that person is most likely a disciple of another sect. β
He also thinks it's a disciple of another sect?
Ah Mu was about to speak, but Dong Zhe said again:
"Butβ" he furrowed his eyebrows, "Now that I think about it, it's very likely that the other party deliberately let them see it!"
Ah Mu's heart sank: "The other party is in the foundation building period?"
Dongzhe glanced at Amu in surprise again, but he didn't expect this new player to react so quickly.
"Yes," he said, his words full of concern, "the day after they left, I went to the place where he said to look for them, but I was discovered by the foundation building monk, but fortunately he didn't know about my relationship with Lu Ren, so he fooled him." β
As soon as Zheng Rong heard this, he immediately couldn't hold back: "They must have fallen into a trap! Let's go and save them immediately!"
Amu also agreed: "Saving people should be done sooner rather than later." β
The location was determined, leaving Gao Jie to wait in the small courtyard, and Dongzhe took Zheng Rong and Amu to Lu Ren's previous destination.
It was a high-gate compound, and from the outside, there was no one to watch the door, and it seemed that it was not popular or defensive.
However, the Immortal Cultivation World never looked at the number of people, and the divine sense of a foundation building monk could be worth hundreds of guards.
In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, Zheng Rong wrapped the three of them with his divine sense, so as not to be discovered by the foundation building monk.
I only knew that the man was a foundation monk, but I didn't know what stage it was.
In the early days of Amunai's foundation, Dong Zhe was only able to practice the ninth layer of qi, and his divine consciousness had not even been born, and both of them were at risk of being discovered.
Therefore, it is the safest for Zheng Rong, who is at the peak of foundation building, to exude divine consciousness protection.
After hiding his breath, Zheng Rong grabbed Dongzhe, jumped up with Ah Mu, and quietly entered the courtyard.
The dark curtain was shrouded, and there was no figure in the wide mansion, which seemed particularly quiet.
The three of them kept walking deeper into the courtyard, and when they came to the front of the main courtyard, Zheng Rong stopped, and after a while, Amu also found something and glanced at him.
The two looked at each other, suddenly jumped at the same time, landed on the roof of the study, and then squatted down.
As soon as Dongzhe saw this scene, he also guessed that the foundation monk must be in this study, and he couldn't help but listen intently.
Sure enough, a thin voice came faintly from the study.
It seems to be the sound of a conversation between the two.
Dong Zhe's cultivation is the lowest, and he can't really hear it, but Ah Mu and Zheng Rong can hear it very clearly.
At the same time, Amu also determined that the cultivation of the foundation building monk in the study was definitely higher than his own, as for how much higher, I am afraid that only Zheng Rong knew about it.
At this time, the two people in the study were unaware that someone was eavesdropping, and they were doing some transactions.
The foundation building monk said with an arrogant tone that could not be ignored: "This spirit enhancement pill has a good effect, right? In just five years, you have already cultivated to the ninth level of qi cultivation! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know how many years you would have spent at the seventh layer of qi training!"
Hearing this, it should be Steward Li before!
A reluctant voice sounded: "What you said is that thanks to the seniors all these years, it is a blessing for the younger generations to meet the seniors again!"
He smiled cautiously, but his eyes kept throwing at the small jade bottle on the table.
