More than ten miles outside the city of Gunan, on a wasteland close to the dense forest.

At a glance, there is hardly any grass on the wasteland, except for the smooth stones of all sizes.

Liu Ming put his hands behind his back and looked at a ruined temple in front of him with wide eyes, his pupils shrinking.

Coming out of the Qingzhu Restaurant in the city, he followed the grandfather and grandson all the way out of the city.

However, after Liu Ming followed the two into the wasteland, the old man and the young man suddenly disappeared.

Liu Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and his spiritual power was released, and he probed around.

However, with his current powerful spiritual power, he didn't even have the slightest appearance of discovery.

But at this moment, Liu Ming only felt a blur in front of him, and a black shadow shot out from the dense forest next to the broken temple, the black shadow was extremely fast, and in an instant, it had come to him, and it hit him with a "bang".

Under this unexpected blow, there was an extremely violent force pouring out, Liu Ming was caught off guard, even if his body was strong, his body was trembling and took a few steps back.

But this collision did not cause any harm to Liu Ming, and after urging the law, his body suddenly sank and froze.

Only at the place where it was hit just now, a faint dirt pit was left behind.

Liu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept over the dark shadow in the center of the pit.

The black shadow turned out to be a giant python, its whole body was dark, as if it had been pieced together, and the scales the size of the bowl shimmered with a cold and cold light. However, there was no life in his eyes, and it was obviously a puppet beast.

At this moment, an old man in a yellow robe and a girl in a yellow shirt slowly walked out from behind the ruined temple.

It's the pair of grandchildren I met in the restaurant!

The girl in the yellow shirt had an unkind look in her eyes and stared at Liu Ming.

The old man in the yellow robe had a calm face. But his heart sank slightly, and he was a little surprised that the gray-robed young man in front of him was able to stop the sneak attack of his puppet beast.

But this young man looks too young on the surface. The old man didn't look too worried about this.

The other party's cultivation is limited, even though it seems that the physical body is stronger. He should be able to deal with it as well.

Looking at the formation of the old man and the girl, Liu Ming's expressionless face just turned into the void with one hand, and a sound of gas explosion suddenly came from between his five fingers.

Liu Ming knew that it was useless to explain what was at this time.

Not to mention that the two are also outsiders, they must have had hostility in their hearts after being tracked by themselves, and the missing person in their mouth is obviously very related to them, and they will definitely not spit out any truth to themselves in ordinary methods.

At this time, he can only use some thunder means to be the most effective.

On the other side, the old man in the yellow robe also didn't want to talk nonsense with Liu Ming, but he saw that the magic trick in his right hand was pinched. Then he pointed at the python puppet beast.

The giant python puppet beast suddenly raised its head to the sky and let out a "whine" sound, and the giant tail smashed down on the ground, and its body blurred, and it turned into a black shadow again and rushed towards Liu Ming. At the same time, in the space where the python's body passed, a muffled sound immediately came out.

"Boom"!

Liu Ming pinched the trick with one hand, and suddenly a thick black gas on his body rolled out, and after the black gas dripped, it spun over his head for a while, and then quickly condensed into a black dragon phantom. Just hovering in the air nearby, he suddenly rushed down, and wrapped around Liu Ming's right arm.

It was the first layer of Liu Ming's cultivation of the Dragon and Tiger Hell Technique!

Liu Ming did not hesitate, and his arm moved. A punch slammed into the giant python puppet beast that was shooting at a rapid pace.

An earth-shattering bang!

Then I saw the black light in front of Liu Ming, and a more intense fluctuation in the space came out, and the giant python immediately trembled and flew upside down. And fell heavily in front of the old man.

When the giant python raised its head again with difficulty, he saw where Liu Ming's fist fell. The surface scales have been smashed into a dent.

This scene made the old man's pupils shrink slightly, and his eyelids moved imperceptibly.

Know the way. Not only was his giant python puppet beast extremely powerful, but its body was also made of a rare metal that was extremely hard, and its hardness had long surpassed that of ordinary refined iron.

But he was hurt by this gray-robed young man so lightly.

The only explanation can only be that the strength of the young man in front of him is really unfathomable, and he is not invincible at all.

"This fellow Daoist, you and I have no grievances, please stop first. The yellow-robed old man suddenly waved his hand at Liu Ming and signaled him to stop. After all, if Liu Ming punches the giant python puppet beast a few more times now, this puppet beast will be considered scrapped.

And this puppet python has the strength of the early stage of condensation, even if he doesn't have a few of them, he is naturally reluctant to be destroyed so easily.

When Liu Ming heard this, he smiled, and after retracting his fist, the black qi on his body also rolled into his body.

The old man in the yellow robe also pinched it neatly, and the giant python puppet beast instantly turned into a black light and rolled back, falling into the old man's hand, and after a blur of light, it turned into a black ball.

"Dare to ask this fellow Daoist, why did he follow us all the way here?" the old man stared at Liu Ming and asked slowly, but his tone was a little respectful, and quietly glanced at the yellow-shirted girl next to him, asking her to retreat some distance from the distance, so as not to be affected by the confrontation with the person in front of him.

Without saying a word, the girl in the yellow shirt immediately retreated a few steps back.

"Your Excellency, don't get me wrong, it's just that I overheard you talking about the disappearance of someone you know in Gu Nan City in that restaurant before, and it just so happens that someone I know has disappeared here, and the time is very close to what you said, so I want to ask you for details, I don't know if I can tell you about it. Liu Ming smiled at the old man and said noncommittally.

When the old man in the yellow robe heard this, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look back and glare at the girl on the side.

After hearing this, the girl in the yellow shirt trembled slightly, only to realize that what she said in the restaurant before had really fallen into the ears of someone with a heart, and she immediately bowed her head and didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, the old man coughed lightly and replied:

"Since Daoyou has followed here, it must be inevitable to do this, and it is impossible not to say it. Anyway, there is no need to keep this matter a secret from outsiders. Daoist friends want to ask. The old man can tell them one by one. ”

"Good. You don't have to worry about anything, I'll finish asking. I'll leave. Fellow Daoist, please tell me more about the missing person. Seeing the old man in the yellow robe looking so knowledgeable, Liu Ming asked with a slow expression.

The old man coughed lightly. can only tell it 1510:

"Zai Xia and his granddaughter are actually cultivators from a small sect in the south of Turtle Yuan Island, and the sect is also well-known in the south. This sect makes a living by refining and selling puppet beasts. It's just that nine months ago, Zainuzi and a few others were sent to Gu Nan City by the sect, intending to purchase some attribute crystals from Najing Valley to use as puppets. These resources are urgently needed by the sect, and the dog is also a cautious person, and he will not stay in the city of Gu Nan for long after completing it. Besides, similar to the buying and selling of resources, the dog is not a novice, and the trip will never exceed three months. But I didn't expect that this departure would not return for half a year, and there was no news back before. The old man had no choice but to come to this Gu Nancheng to investigate one or two in person. ”

"Oh. Have you ever inquired about what you heard in the restaurant before, but you plan to leave Gu Nan City. Liu Ming asked lightly.

The old man found the inn where the dog lived, but he never came out after entering the inn. With the cultivation of the early stage of the dog condensate, it disappeared so silently, so the old man felt that this matter was strange, and suspected that it was related to some general forces, and it might even involve a strong person in the crystallization stage. And how could such a strong person be provoked by the sect to which the old man belonged. At present, I can only return to the sect with my granddaughter and then discuss it in the long run. The old man replied helplessly.

"I see. But judging from the meaning of the words of Taoist friends. It's not a short time to come to Gunancheng. Have there been any other clues to discover?" Liu Ming listened to it, thought for a while, and then asked.

"In fact, the old man learned from some old acquaintances during his time in the city. Some of them have disappeared in the city south of the valley, and most of them are people who have come here to buy. And the missing ones are all monks in the prime of life in the condensation stage. Because of this, the old man decided to leave the city immediately. The old man pondered for a moment. Then he replied, his expression a little gloomy at the same time.

So often there are condensation period of prime-aged monks who go missing. And it's all when it's in this valley south city!

Liu Ming listened, and his eyes flashed slightly. There was a faint guess in my heart.

But he didn't show the slightest color on his face, but nodded at the old man and said:

"That's it, then thank you Daoyou. ”

The next moment, I saw a gray shadow flashing, Liu Ming actually directly across a distance of several zhang, a blur appeared behind the girl in the yellow shirt, and with a "snap", he slapped her on the shoulder, and after shaking her body, she conjured up several afterimages and returned to the original place.

The whole process was lightning, and even though the old man roared angrily, he once again urged the giant python puppet to stop him on the way, but he only pounced on an afterimage that Liu Ming had turned into, and he didn't touch half of Liu Ming's body at all.

"What did you do to Ling'er?" the old man raised his hand, and after throwing out a white ball and conjuring a white giant eagle puppet, he said viciously to Liu Ming.

The girl in the yellow shirt also turned pale and became unusually pale, but when she carefully examined the situation in her body, she didn't find anything abnormal at all.

"Daoyou don't need to panic! Liu just left a mark on this little girl, if you find out that what Daoyou said is false, you can find Daoyou again to confirm one or two. Fellow Daoists can rest assured that this mark will dissipate on its own in three days, or that Daoist friends will now remember something that needs to be added. Liu Ming put his hands behind his back and said unhurriedly.

"The old man has already told you everything you know. The old man clenched his fists and stared at Liu Ming with anger on his face.

"If that's the case, it's all the best. However, if you want to think of anything else, you can come to me at the Bibo Inn in Gunan City. ”

Liu Ming said, pinched the trick with one hand, and a black cloud rose from under his feet, and shot straight in the direction where Gu Nancheng was.

After Liu Ming left, the old man in the yellow robe clenched his fists before slowly letting go.

"Grandfather, what should we do now?" the girl in the yellow shirt looked up in the direction of Liu Ming's departure, looking a little panicked.

"I didn't expect that this line has not yet found out about your father and others. but provoked such a powerful guy. You and I will go to the nearby Black Wind stronghold for three days and see how it goes. On the way, I'll see if I can remove the mark from this man. The old man's face was cloudy for a while, and then he stomped his feet and said to the girl in the yellow shirt.

Then the old man uncovered the shirt on the shoulder of the girl in the yellow shirt, and found that a black rune mark was inscribed on the girl's shoulder, and he couldn't help but snort.

"Grandfather, is this person's strength really so terrible just now, that you don't even dare to clash with your old man head-on. Seeing this, the beautiful girl in the yellow shirt bit her teeth and asked with some hatred.

"This person should be a physique, and he is definitely the strongest among them, and he seems to have not done his best just now. It seems that something big is going to happen on this turtle Yuan Island. The old man's face became a little solemn, and he walked away with a yellow shirt girl. (To be continued......)
