In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Shen Yun left the inn, got into the carriage, and went straight to the palace of the king of Zhengxi.

When Shen Yun got out of the carriage and swept around, his face couldn't help but change.

I saw that in the open space in front of the palace, there were densely packed people, and they were all monks of the Naling period.

Shen Yun secretly sensed and found that among these people, there were many powerful monks of the Great Perfection of the Naling Period.

And the door of King Ning's Mansion is still closed.

These monks, dressed in different clothes, mixed with dragons and snakes, gathered together, they all looked at each other unpleasantly, quarreled constantly, and even some of the monks who were short-tempered and not weak in cultivation had already started to move.

Shen Yun stood at the back of the crowd, in an inconspicuous corner, and his brows furrowed slightly when he saw this scene.

It stands to reason that this expedition to the West Wangfu is a great cause, and even if the number of these monks is doubled, there will always be a place to settle them.

Now, the door of the house is closed, and no one comes out to receive it, which is really a bit strange.

These monks are waiting outside the palace gate, although there are many disputes, but no one dares to break into the mansion to make trouble, which shows that these people are afraid of the name of "King of Zhengxi".

And most of these people are monks in the early stage and middle of the Naling period, and with such a low cultivation as their strength, I really don't know what useful clues they can find.

However, this is not what Shen Yun cares about, and he is secretly thinking about how to "recommend himself", blend into the palace first, and then make plans.

While Shen Yun was pondering, the gate of the palace opened, and everyone couldn't help but be quiet.

From the gate, out walked an old man in good spirits, dressed as a butler, with a pair of eyes that were particularly bright, as sharp as a falcon.

Its eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and the powerful cultivation in the late stage of the Naling period was released, and he spoke loudly.

"In Xia Qiyuan, he is the housekeeper of King Ning's Mansion. Everyone, don't be impatient, just enter the palace in turn to register. ”

After speaking, the old man didn't say much, and entered the palace by himself.

The two burly men behind the old man stepped out of the palace and stood on both sides of the mansion, like two door gods.

Where did the monks dare to make a mistake, they entered the palace in turn.

Shen Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't walk in front of everyone, but followed the crowd and entered the palace.

The front yard in this palace is originally a martial arts arena, which is more than enough to accommodate everyone at this time.

And around the martial arts arena, there was a team of guards in armor, all of whom were high-level qi refiners and cultivators, all up and down, and they were full of anger.

In the middle of the martial arts arena, there are ten other wooden tables, and behind the wooden tables, there is a civil official who is responsible for registration.

Ten people at a time, registering is also very fast.

It's just that when Shen Yun saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

As soon as his powerful divine sense spread, he found that in the attic not far away, there were three monks of the Liquid Transformation Stage sitting upright, and another six monks of the Great Perfection of the Naling Stage were sitting at the lower hand, and there was exactly an empty seat.

At this moment, a bald-headed monk wearing a white monk's robe and holding a Buddhist bead opened his slightly closed eyes and said with a chuckle.

"Flame Sect Master, there is still one person missing from the ten people, I don't know which master and nephew of your sect has not yet arrived. If you come late and someone else occupies your seat first, I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything. ”

Another middle-aged man in a yellow shirt with three rings on his hand also frowned when he heard this, and said in a cold voice.

"What the master said is right, if someone notices the attic here first and occupies a seat, your disciples of the Candle Flame Sect don't have to rush here. Speaking of which, it's just a little disciple, even if he has some ability, he shouldn't be so big, let me wait here. ”

The red-haired man sitting in the middle of the two heard the words of the two, his face showed a hint of coldness, and he spoke.

"Master Lichen, Blue Weapon Daoist, why should you be anxious. My nephew is thoughtful and wise, and he is very insightful in investigating the case, and he is the best candidate to investigate this case. ”

When the middle-aged man with three rings on his hand heard this, his face showed a hint of displeasure, obviously a little disbelief, and slowly spoke.

"I waited three days to investigate, but I didn't even find a clue. Today, the Holy One granted amnesty and issued ten 'Decrees of the Son of Heaven' to facilitate our thorough investigation of the inside and outside of Ningdu. Flame Daoist, your Candle Flame Sect disciple really has the ability you said, will it help us to track down this case?"

When the flame red-haired man of the Candle Flame Sect heard this, he was not angry, sneered, and spoke.

"Fellow Blue Weapon Daoist is waiting a minute, my disciple summoned me last night, saying that he had found some clues, so he would come to report later today. When the time comes, don't fight for merit. ”

The monk and the man in the yellow shirt, along with the six monks sitting at the bottom of the monk, were shocked when they heard this.

Among them, a young man in blue squinted his eyes slightly, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.

The dust monk was stunned, and then he showed great joy, but he was a little worried, and couldn't help but speak.

"Good, good, if what the Flame Daoist said is true, the disciples of your sect are indispensable, how dare we fight for merit. If we can really crack the case of the 'murder of the king of Zhengxi' in one fell swoop, we can avoid a war and benefit thousands of people. It's just that I don't know how this disciple's cultivation is? The old man is just worried that he will rely on his own cultivation, and he will blindly investigate deeply, and he will encounter unexpected. ”

When the red-haired man heard this, he waved his hand and said with a look of indifference on his face.

"Master rest assured, this disciple of mine has the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Naling Period, and the fire attribute technique is extremely good, even if he encounters a cultivator of the Transformation Period, even if he is defeated, it is more than enough for self-protection. ”

When Monk Lichen heard the red-haired man's words, his face was slightly relieved, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

As for the others, their faces were different, and they secretly calculated the gains and losses.

With the powerful divine sense in the middle of Shen Yun's liquid transformation period, and without the sound insulation ban, the conversation of the three of them was naturally heard by him very clearly.

It muttered for a moment, and then, quietly withdrawing from the crowd, its form turning into a vague afterimage, disappearing in an instant.

The next moment, in the attic, an afterimage suddenly appeared, and slowly condensed.

Because this afterimage appeared very suddenly, it was not until the three sect masters of the liquid transformation stage cultivation appeared that they were aware of it.

The faces of the three changed slightly, and they were secretly frightened.

The red-haired man showed a hint of joy on his face and hurriedly spoke.

"Master and nephew Fang, you finally ......"

It's just that the red-haired man didn't finish speaking, and when he saw the green-shirted scholar who appeared in front of him, his face couldn't help but sink, and he changed his tone and asked angrily.

"Who are you?"

The green-shirted scholar was naturally Shen Yun, who had changed his appearance, his face was indifferent, and he spoke softly.

"Your Excellency should be the Flame Sect Master of the Candle Flame Sect, in Xia Xiaoyun, you are here to investigate the case of the King of the West. ”

When the red-haired man heard this, and saw the indifferent expression of the scholar in the green shirt, he only felt that the young man in front of him was arrogant and arrogant, but he didn't make a move immediately, and said coldly.

"In this case, go to the martial arts arena in the palace to register by yourself, and you must not disturb our meeting here. ”

When Shen Yun heard this, his face remained unchanged, and he had no intention of leaving, and said lightly.

"It is all of you here who are really qualified to look into this case. As for the other monks in the palace, in the final analysis, they are just indiscriminate people to attract the attention of the murderer behind them, that is, they are just cannon fodder for us to cover up. There are exactly ten seats here, and there is still one vacancy, so I will unceremoniously occupy one seat below. ”

After Shen Yun said this, he walked to the chair at the end of the long table and sat down.

The red-haired man couldn't figure out the origin of this green-shirted scholar, so he wanted to persuade him to leave this place by himself.

Who would have thought that this scholar in green shirts revealed his identity in one word, and sat down with a grin.

When the monk and the man in the yellow shirt saw the performance of the scholar in the green shirt, they were silent.

The rest of the people showed a hint of surprise on their faces, staring at the green-shirted scholar and looking like they were watching a good show.

Seeing that this scholar was so ignorant, the red-haired man suddenly turned pale, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and his figure flashed and suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, the red-haired man suddenly appeared beside Shen Yun, clenched his right hand into a fist, smashed the head of the scholar in the green shirt, and said angrily.

"Where did the wild boy come from, how dare he be so arrogant!"
