Volume 2 Spirit Realm Chapter 495 Secret Investigation
A few miles away from Puliu City, a white-robed young monk was on his way, and he wanted to rush to the city in front of him to rest for the night as soon as possible, and this person was Lu Chen.
Seeing the three big characters of the Ziwei Sect in mid-air from a distance, a trace of misfortune flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, because this was the warning spirit bead that the disciples of the Ziwei Sect would only use when they encountered a life and death crisis.
After entering the city, Lu Chen casually found an inn to live in.
Lu Chen originally planned to leave the next day, but the warning from the same gate still made him decide to stay in the city for a few days.
That night, Lu Chen was surprised to find that the inn he stayed in didn't have any guests except himself, and there was a faint evil sect.
Early the next morning, Lu Chen found the innkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, why are there so few monks who have come to the inn recently?"
The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Senior, you don't know, the business of other inns is very good, but the business of this store is not good!"
Lu Chen asked, "Oh, what's the reason for this?"
The shopkeeper said helplessly, "A few days ago, a guest died in our inn, and the other guests were afraid, so they all moved out. ”
Lu Chen continued to ask, "How did this person die?"
The shopkeeper said, "I don't know about this, several seniors of the Ziwei Sect have come to the scene to see it, and they can't tell the cause of this person's death." ”
Lu Chen's heart moved, and he said, "Shopkeeper, do you know where these Daoists from the Ziwei Sect live?"
The shopkeeper said, "Yes, I'll let the guy take you." ”
Lu Chen took out a hundred top-grade spirit stones and handed them to the shopkeeper as a reward, and the shopkeeper hurriedly thanked him after accepting them.
After a while, the innkeeper took Lu Chen to the mansion where Chen Zhuo and the others of the Ziwei Sect lived.
After the guy left, Lu Chen found that the protective formation of the house had been destroyed, so he pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
The courtyard was in a mess, and after Lu Chen saw a few piles of ashes on the ground, he guessed that several Ziwei Sect fellow sects had been killed, and sighed, Lu Chen took out a jade bottle, packed these ashes separately, and put them in the storage ring.
Lu Chen was very puzzled in his heart, Puliu City was not far from the Ziwei Sect, how dare anyone do anything to the disciples of the Ziwei Sect who were guarding this place.
Lu Chen decided to stay in Puliu City for a few days, he believed that the murderer must still be in the city, maybe he was staring at him at the moment.
As Lu Chen expected, when he walked into this mansion, a man appeared not far away.
However, the man was extremely cautious and soon left.
In a secret room somewhere in the Chai family in Puliu City, the disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect, Huan Mingjie and Chai Xiaotian, father and son, were whispering something.
"Senior Brother Chai, how many Ziwei Sect disciples are there in this Puliu City?" Huan Mingjie asked.
"Senior Brother Huan, there are five of them!" Chai Fei said.
Huan Mingjie nodded and said, "Then there shouldn't have been any fish that slipped through the net last night!"
Chai Xiaotian said, "Huan Daoyou, I asked people to keep an eye on that mansion early this morning, and just now, someone went in. ”
Huan Mingjie frowned and asked, "Who is this person?"
Chai Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I don't know the identity of this person, he lives in the inn where people have died." ”
Huan Mingjie said, "I'll leave Puliu City later, and I'm going to another place to pick up a new disciple of my sect, Senior Brother Chai, you can wait for me in the city! I'll be back in about half a month!"
Chai Fei said respectfully, "Yes, senior brother!"
Huan Mingjie instructed, "Senior Brother Chai, when I come back, you can go back to the sect with me! During this time, you should be careful not to be discovered! The Ziwei Sect should soon send someone to investigate the cause of the death of the disciple in the sect." ”
Chai Fei nodded and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, we haven't left any clues, and the other party can't find anything." ”
After Huan Mingjie left Chai's house, he quickly left the city.
After Huan Mingjie left, Chai Fei said, "Father, what kind of cultivation did you say about that person just now?"
Chai Xiaotian said, "Merge into the Great Perfection Realm. ”
A fiery look flashed in Chai Fei's eyes, "Father, if I devour his essence blood, I should be able to break through to the Tribulation Period soon." ”
Chai Xiaotian was faintly moved when he heard his son say this, but he was a little hesitant when he thought of Huan Mingjie's entrustment before leaving.
Chai Fei said, "Father, otherwise, let's inquire about this person's background first, if it is a first-order scattered cultivation, with the strength of our Chai family, it should not be difficult to win this person." ”
After Chai Xiaotian pondered for a moment, he finally agreed to his son's proposal.
......
After a few days of secret visits in Puliucheng, Lu Chen finally had some eyebrows, and the reason why his fellow disciples were brutally killed was because they were investigating the cause of death in a murder case before they died.
At noon on this day, Lu Chen went to a restaurant to drink because he was bored.
Shortly after he was seated, a young monk approached.
"Dao friendly face, I should have just come to our Puliu City, right?" the young monk said to Lu Chen with a smile.
The young monk was none other than Chai Fei.
Lu Chen's heart moved, and the young monk in front of him took the initiative to talk to him, maybe it had something to do with the death of his fellow disciples.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen stood up and arched his hand and said, "Daoist friends guessed well, I am a casual cultivator, I plan to go to the Peerless Sect to apprentice, passing through here, I plan to rest for a few days before leaving." ”
Chai Fei sneered in his heart when he heard this, and let the other party go to that mansion to investigate, it shows that the other party has a great relationship with the disciples of the Ziwei Sect.
Chai Fei said, "Chai Fei, the young head of the Xia Chai family, has not yet consulted the name of the Taoist friend?"
Lu Chen said, "Under Lu Chen!"
A rumor flashed in Chai Fei's mind, but that person was in the late stage of the merger realm, and the Lu Chen in front of him was the merging Great Perfection realm, so it should not be the same person.
Chai Fei said, "I feel that I am very close to Daoyou, why don't I go to the cold house and have a few drinks?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Then thank you for your kindness!"
After a while, the two came to Chai's house.
Chai Fei instructed his subordinates to immediately prepare a table of good wine and food.
At this time, Chai Xiaotian, the head of the Chai family, also came to the hall.
Chai Fei introduced, "Father, this is Lu Chen's fellow Daoist, and the child felt that he was very close to him, so he invited him to come to the house as a guest. ”
Lu Chen hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Scattered cultivation Lu Chen has seen the Chai family master!"
Chai Xiaotian said with a smile, "Since you are Fei'er's friend, you don't have to be so polite." ”
After a while, the banquet was ready, and Chai Xiaotian and his son invited Lu Chen to the table.
Chai Fei personally poured wine for Lu Chen.
This person said, "Lu Daoyou, this is a one-day drunk brewed by my Chai family, you can taste it!"
Lu Chen picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and praised it in his mouth, "This wine tastes really good!"
Chai Fei said with a smile, "Then Lu Daoyou has to drink a few more glasses!"
After speaking, this person poured another full cup for Lu Chen.
At this time, Lu Chen spoke, "Master Chai, I heard from the innkeeper that more than twenty Merge Stage monks in the city have disappeared for no reason recently, and one person has died in the inn, but is there such a thing?"
Chai Xiaotian sighed and said, "Yes, this matter is too weird, now everyone in the city is in danger, even if it is my Chai family, I will let them be cautious, so as not to follow in the footsteps of these people." ”
Lu Chen said, "The innkeeper also said that a disciple of the Ziwei Sect named Chen Zhuo investigated the matter, and as soon as I heard that this person was my acquaintance, I asked the innkeeper to take me to him, but I didn't expect that when I rushed there, I found that there was no one in the house, and I didn't know where he went." ”
Chai Xiaotian showed a look of surprise and said, "Isn't Chen Daoyou at the residence?
When Lu Chen heard this, he was already sure in his heart that the death of his senior brothers was inseparable from the Chai family, and there were three huge crape myrtle sects in the air that night
Big characters, how could the people of the Chai family not see it.
Moreover, the Chai family, as the largest immortal cultivator family in the city, must have received the news as soon as there was any trouble.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Hey, it seems that I don't have a chance to have a few drinks with him." ”
At this time, Chai Fei opened his mouth and said, "Lu Daoyou, you will definitely have a chance to have a few drinks with Chen Zhuo Daoyou." ”
When Lu Chen heard this, his face was puzzled.
Chai Fei laughed and said, "Lu Daoyou, if you die, can't you accompany Chen Daoyou to drink underground, haha!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he suddenly stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Chai Daoyou, what do you mean by this?"
Chai Fei said coldly, "Lu Chen, don't pretend, I know that you are not a casual cultivator at all." ”
Lu Chen said, "Yes, I am Lu Chen, a disciple of the Ziwei Sect. ”
Chai Fei sneered, "It's ridiculous that you are dying, and you don't know how to die!"
When Lu Chen heard this, his face changed greatly, he looked down at the wine glass, pointed at Chai Fei with his finger, and said, "You father and son are really despicable villains, you actually poisoned the wine!"
Chai Xiaotian looked at Lu Chen with a pitiful gaze and said, "You Ziwei Sect disciples are just too curious and like to get to the bottom of it! You see, if you can't find out the truth of the matter, you still take your own life, why bother!"
Lu Chen said angrily, "In this way, those of my fellow disciples were killed by you, and those missing monks in the city were probably also killed by you, right?"
Chai Fei said, "Lu Chen, what you said is not right, those of your fellow disciples were killed by my senior brother, as for those missing monks, as well as the monk who died in the inn, they all died in the meridians after failing to practice a technique, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Lu Chen asked, "Do my senior brothers have a grudge against your senior brother?"
Chai Fei said, "No hatred and no grudges! It's just that they found out the identity of my senior brother, so they have to die! But after I refine you into a blood spirit bead, you can go underground to accompany them!"
With that, the man smirked.
Lu Chen's face turned pale, and his body trembled with fright, "Blood Spirit Bead, are you a disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect?"
Chai Fei said, "That's right, calculate the time, it's time for the effect of the medicine to kick in, don't worry, it's not poison in the wine, but it just makes you unconscious temporarily!"
Lu Chen pointed at Chai Fei and said, "I'm a disciple of the Ziwei Sect, if you dare to kill me, the Ziwei Sect will not let your Chai family go!"
As he spoke, Lu Chen suddenly became drowsy, and his body was a little unstable on his feet.
Chai Fei's eyes showed a fierce murderous intent, and he walked towards Lu Chen step by step, and Lu Chen staggered back, but soon he retreated to the corner.
Chai Xiaotian on the side didn't mean to make a move, in his opinion, his son was enough to deal with Lu Chen, who had no power to resist.
At this moment, the mutation suddenly appeared, and he saw a dark green light flashing in Lu Chen's hand, and before Chai Fei could snort, his body had been split in half, and this person's Yuan Shen was instantly shattered into pieces by the sword qi.
Chai Xiaotian looked stunned, he couldn't figure it out anyway, how could Lu Chen be okay after drinking the drugged spirit wine.
Immediately, Chai Xiaotian's eyes showed a crazy killing intention, and he sacrificed a black long knife and slashed at Lu Chen.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that when the long knife touched the dark green long sword in Lu Chen's hand, it shattered inch by inch, and Chai Xiaotian was shocked beyond measure, knowing that his long knife was a fourth-order high-grade spiritual weapon.
"It's not good! it's a fifth-order spiritual weapon!" Chai Xiaotian exclaimed.
It's just that when Chai Xiaotian reacted, he found that his body had been broken into two, and the Yuan Shen gradually collapsed.
After a few breaths, this person lost all his breath and completely fell.
Lu Chen quickly picked up the storage bags of the father and son and left the Chai Mansion as fast as he could.
A moment later, the entire Chai Mansion was in chaos, and by the time they sent people to hunt down Lu Chen, Lu Chen had already left Puliu City.
