As the forging conference approached, the crowd of people coming and going to Xia Jing was obviously more than ever.

As one of the three major casting masters of the Casting Hall, Chi Lian naturally had to rush back at this time.

The reason why the Casting Conference was opened was to use the huge resources of the Casting Hall and their superb skills to show all the monks who came to observe their importance, and also to gather more cultivation resources for this purpose.

For this reason, the Casting Hall did not hesitate to exterminate the other families in the empire who had mastered the method of casting and refining, although there were many complaints about this, but because there was no evidence, no one dared to tell the Casting Hall what to do.

What's more, even if he knew that it was the Casting Hall, no one would do it, and the Casting Family that had already been consumed would come out.

Chi Lian has been moody since the incident ten years ago, and those who know the reason will do their best, and they will not dare to show a little mistake, and the province will be implicated by it.

And then, four years ago, it became even worse, these people who are good at casting are mostly cultivating fire attribute vitality, and their personalities are already irritable and irritable, and in such a situation, no one dares to touch their brows.

In this casting conference, Red Refining went all out, all in order to regain the face of the failure of casting and refining that year.

Ten years ago, it was also a casting conference, and it is said that the casting that should have been foolproof was caused by mistakes, which also made the red refining a joke in the mouths of visitors.

Gain, when the red refining was selecting and casting, the materials were mixed, so that the precious material could no longer be smelted without inspection, and became a waste product.

And this incident has also become an irreparable failure in the opinion of Chi Lian, because making such a mistake is the most intolerable thing for a forger who is called a master.

However, this kind of thing happened to Chi Lian, a master who has been famous for many years, and in this case, Chi Lian's dilemma can be imagined.

For this reason, not only did he not participate in the casting meeting five years ago, but his personality became even more moody.

However, it is said that after that incident, Chilian learned from the pain and honed it hard, and finally made a big breakthrough before this conference, and this time I am afraid it is also to save the reputation of ten years ago.

Chi Lian sat in the carriage with a gloomy face, and looking at his tightly furrowed brows, it was not difficult to guess that what he was thinking in his heart would definitely not be a good thing.

The red refining that was a little anxious, and because he had been engaged in casting for many years, he was respected as a master by many monks, and under the pampering, he had already lost the vigilance that a monk should have, even if he was a strong man in the early stage of foundation building.

And in such a situation, it was not until the danger approached itself that he realized that he only had time to avoid the vital point, and exclaimed bitterly: "Not good!"

Chi Lian instinctively felt that the inner house had been tingling, and his eyes were black for a while, and he struggled to transport the vitality in his body, and jumped out of the carriage, only then did he see the person who came.

And the people who guarded him, although most of them were mid-level Qi refining cultivators, and even a few Qi refining back-level, but that person did not take advantage of the victory to pursue after the secret refining, but instead chased and killed those guards.

However, after Chi Lian tried to leave many times, but was blocked by the hidden weapon he shot, Chi Lian realized that the other party actually had the intention of leaving all of them here.

It's just that the red refining who lacks experience in fighting, after understanding it, that person has already killed the guard, after all, the gap in cultivation is too big.

didn't give Chi Lian a chance to talk nonsense, so he directly killed him on the spot.

After that, the man put away the bodies of all the people present one by one, and walked away, although there were many traces of fighting on the ground, but such things happen every day in the surrounding area, and naturally no one will care.

And in the next few days, on this road that Xia Jing must pass, there were several incidents one after another, but no one knew about it at all, because their bodies were all taken away.

And this situation, it was not until ten days later that their bodies were found outside Xia Jingcheng, and there were people who knew them, and even caused an uproar when they passed it.

"Hall Master, Master Red Refining was killed on the way here, the second shop was robbed, seventeen people were killed, and a variety of precious minerals were stolen!"

"Master Li Bashan was killed, the No. 3 shop was robbed! Twenty-one people were killed! A variety of precious minerals were stolen!"

"The Newspaper Master..."

"Click!"

Li Batian listened to the report of his subordinates, no matter how happy and angry he was, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and smashed the teacup in his hand!

In the past half a month, Li Batian didn't know how many teacups he had broken, and at this time, he had already gotten out of anger.

First, his beloved son Li Fengyu disappeared, and then three days ago, it was reported that the shops under his jurisdiction were robbed, and the corpse was thrown outside Xia Jingcheng, **naked slap in the face! How can Li Batian not be angry?

Seeing that the casting conference was about to be held, but at this moment, the shops under his jurisdiction were robbed, and as the main figure of this conference, they were injured and killed one after another, and the resources were even snatched away, how could Li Batian not be angry?

This matter must have been known to the other forces in the imperial capital, if he can't solve it satisfactorily, then this casting conference will be an empty talk, and his casting hall will also become a laughing stock for others, and the majesty accumulated over the years will probably also dissipate.

But at this time, there is no way to start checking, since half a month ago, his second son Li Fengyu has disappeared, and the six Qi refining post-level cultivators under him have also lost their traces.

To this day, Li Batian still remembers that when he found the wind in the sky, the attitude shown by the other party made him dare not act rashly.

No one knew the horror of the Feng family better than him, just from the time he was appointed by the family as the master of the Casting Hall, he was told that he would rather provoke the Bichao Sect than the Feng family. It can be known that this Feng family is not just the owner of the trading house.

What's more, he has no evidence yet, only a trace of suspicion, and Li Batian has no choice but to retreat and increase his efforts to send personnel to investigate.

But at this time, it was the five-year casting meeting of the Casting Hall, and there were already countless people pouring into Xia Jing, more than ten times more than usual, and if you want to investigate them one by one, it is no less difficult than ascending to the sky.

By this time, he was already sure that his son and six monks had been killed, after all, the other party had not even revealed any news for so many days, and if he was arrested and threatened, or made any demands, he would choose to believe that his son was still alive.

And what happened one after another made Li Batian almost lose his mind, not only did Aiko have no information, but even the people and horses of the various departments who rushed back to the main hall from all over the country to participate in the casting conference were also damaged one after another.

Previously, because most of the people in the main hall were sent out by themselves to search for suspicious people, the people who went to answer were much weaker, but I didn't expect this negligence to make this casting conference almost destroyed.

For this reason, Li Batian had to take out the treasures in the Casting Hall to deal with it, and in this regard, the anger in Li Batian's heart rose even more sharply.

Those were all fine products that were intended to be shipped back to the sect, and if it weren't for the prestige of the Casting Hall, he wouldn't have said anything about it.

......

And the initiator of this matter was living leisurely in the civilian areas on all sides of the Casting Hall at this time.

Due to its large population, Xia Jing was divided into aristocratic districts, rich districts, and commoner districts.

And half a month ago, a small courtyard in the civilian area changed owners.

In this regard, it did not attract the attention of the surrounding people in the slightest, and Guy did such things too often.

Every year, the people who come to settle in Xiajing do not know how many, as long as the identity is legal and they pay enough fees, they can move in, of course, they can only live in civilian areas.

In addition, this new resident is just an ordinary-looking monk, who is said to have settled here because he was tired of the adventurous life of coming outside and envied the prosperity of the imperial capital.

And the owner of this small courtyard is none other than Wang Mo.

The robbery of the resources of the Forge Hall was also what he did in the past half month.

Five days ago, he came to this place, spent a sum of yuan stones, which ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime, to buy off the steward of this area, and settled here.

Of course, he had also been investigated by the Casting and Refining Hall, but the aura he revealed was only a triple cultivation of Qi refining.

And those who searched, the highest cultivation level was only the sixth level of qi refining, so naturally they couldn't see Wang Mo's roots.

As for Wang Mo, who only has the cultivation of 'Qi Refining Triple', he will naturally not be the person who investigates the Casting Hall.

As far as Wang Mo knows, the casting hall holds a casting conference once every five years, which is a means for it to show its strength.

After that, he guarded the main road between Xia Jin City and Xia Jing, and ambushed and killed the people of the Casting Hall one after another.

This member of the Casting and Refining Hall may be used to being stable, so arrogant that as a monk, the most basic vigilance is gone, and he was secretly ambushed by Wang Mo one after another.

Among them, there are the Casting Hall, the three major refining masters Chilian and Li Bashan, these two people are not only in the early stage of foundation building, but they have been using their minds on casting and refining all year round, and the art of fighting is quite ordinary, so they saved Wang Mo a lot of effort.

And these people, all of them, carried a lot of resources, and added a large amount of income to Wang Mo's exhaustion of casting ore.

After Wang Mofu killed seven batches of people from the Casting Hall, he evacuated and returned to Xia Jing, and put all the corpses outside Xia Jing in one go.

Only then did he enter the city and clean up his own small courtyard.

I don't know how long I want to live here, so Wang Mo started to make this place a place for his own casting and cultivation.

Fortunately, Wang Mo has a lot of storage bags, and the space is large enough, so he purchased most of the building materials on the way here, and there are also the resources carried by the people of the Casting Hall.

The noise in the casting room was quite loud, and he didn't want to be approached by someone from the Casting Hall a few days after moving in.

With vibrato soil, which is used to build walls and grounds, it can greatly reduce the transmission of noise, and the casting furnace is used to smelt all kinds of metals that are difficult to smelt.
