Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Let them escape!"
Seeing this situation, the masters of the various families in Qishan couldn't help but look at each other.
One of them, who seemed to be highly respected, said in a contemplative voice, "Fellow Daoists, should we continue to chase?"
No one responded.
The few people present were not hot-blooded and impulsive, and they deeply understood that with those two assassins ambushing Liu Ming and the dead soldiers around him, the skills that could be achieved in just a few moments of effort were probably the top among the Jiedan monks in the entire Zhongzhou realm.
These are two masters with top strength, and they are not something that a local tyrant like himself can deal with lightly.
At present, there are only four people catching up, if they act together, they can still deal with it, and everyone is also a master of the late stage of Yudan, I believe that even if they fight alone, they are not the opponent's opponents, but with many enemies, they can always contain one or two, and then wait for help.
However, this place is densely forested and has a thick air engine, so what if you search it inside and encounter it alone?
Seeing that everyone was silent, a man in brocade snorted coldly and said, "It's all lost, what are you chasing?" Besides, now that Liu Daoyou's life and death are unknown, the situation in the city must be chaotic. ”
Another person agreed: "What Lan Gong said is extremely true, everyone, I think we should hurry back as much as possible!"
Everyone discussed for a while over the forest sea, and finally turned their heads and flew back, gradually disappearing into the sky.
At this time, the situation in the city was indeed chaotic.
When the surviving disciples of the Lingbao Sect saw Liu Ming assassinated, they were indignant and accused the family members who came later for poor protection, and these masters of the family who came were all Jiedan monks, although they were only a little strong. It is far inferior to a world-famous sect like the Lingbao Sect, but it is not something that idle inner disciples can blame, so they all received it coldly, and even worse, they in turn held them accountable for harming the city lord.
After all, these local heroes still have some brains, and no one dares to claim that the assassins were attracted by them, and at this time, the envoy of the Lingbao Sect has also died, so he can only appease these envoys first. Only then can they help deliver some good words to the sect, so as not to cause trouble to Qishan.
In addition, Miao Yun's momentum was really huge, which alarmed many casual cultivation masters in the same city who came to congratulate him on his birthday, and they came over to see the excitement.
Although these people have heard of Liu Mingxian's name, they can't say how sympathetic they are, most of them condemn the murderer out of the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. The family present was instructed to track it down.
But all the people in the family present felt that these people were pointing fingers and didn't know what to say.
Everyone knows that the lord of the city was assassinated. It is necessary to track down the murderer in time and find out the truth, but the other party is ruthless and leaves with one blow. Moreover, if it is really to be investigated, it is very suspicious except for some ambitious families. The scattered cultivators from all sides present are also inextricably linked, so they should also be investigated!
Who knows, among the Jiedan Sanxiu present, there will be people who collude with ambitious people and deliberately disturb the local situation.
Moreover, there is another critical problem that is fatal, that is, at this time, everything is troublesome, complicated, and chaotic, and someone must always stand up and give orders and lead the overall situation.
Only when the orders are in one place, will they not act separately and conflict with each other, and the power of the entire Fangshi City, and even the families of Qishan Mountain, can be integrated, and spread out the net of heaven and earth for tens of thousands of miles to investigate and pursue.
But, who should be the person who gives this order and leads the overall situation?
Huang Cheng and Miao Yun's judgment of the situation was very accurate, because they took the first move to get rid of the envoy of the Lingbao Sect, which eliminated the possibility of the envoy of the Lingbao Sect standing up in this chaotic situation and taking the power of the commander, while the other accompanying disciples, although their identities were similar, they were not legitimate envoys after all, and none of them had the qualifications to be put on the table at all.
As a result, the masters of various families, although they also feel that it is not appropriate to pass the buck at the moment, but no one wants to take responsibility, but they want to seize the authority, and they are all testing each other and intriguing.
Except for the useless measures of jumping out at the beginning to show the determination to catch the murderer, and sending dead soldiers to guard the whole city to search and arrest, patrol the neighborhood, and impose martial law, there has been no real progress.
“......”
"Miao Daoyou, you are really clever, these people's reactions are exactly the same as what you said!"
Everyone present didn't notice that when the city was in chaos, they were arguing and prevaricating, among the crowd of onlookers, two figures who seemed to be normal, but were actually stand-in puppets, stood on the periphery, watching this scene with interest.
This kind of stand-in puppet is really well-made, and it can even show a subtle expression with a half-joking look on its face, and there are strange flashes in its eyes, almost no different from a real person.
With the two puppets that had been reserved here, the two people who escaped from the city did not lose their sense of what was happening, and they continued to monitor the local heroes.
"It's not that I'm clever, it's a thing in the world, nothing more than this, these people are long, in order to fight for power and profit, they fall into chaos, and even fight, it is inevitable, but I didn't expect that the blow just now was so smooth, and it really killed Liu Ming!"
Miao Yun's puppet face showed a look of happiness and regret.
Fortunately, he really succeeded, and in a very short period of time, he killed a master in the late stage of Yudan.
This is also something he can be proud of, which means that his use of the magic weapon in his hand and his strength in fighting with others have been raised to a whole new level.
It's a pity that this Liu Ming is obviously old and decrepit, and he is not as good as before, if he is replaced by other prime-aged monks, with the same realm, it will never be so easy to succeed.
There is no injustice and no revenge, and he is such an old man, and he is really ashamed to kill him.
Huang Cheng guessed some of his thoughts, and comforted: "Miao Daoyou, the disputes in the world are inevitably contrary to our hearts, but as long as we know who we are doing things for, it is enough, we are here on the orders of Grandmaster Li, and Grandmaster Li, because Pang Wei of the Lingbao Sect wants to snatch the treasure mine, self-defense and counterattack, during which the cause and effect are entangled, how can we clearly distinguish between good and evil, good and evil?"
Miao Yun smiled dumbly, and said: "What you said is right, as the saying goes, heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs, although we have cultivated to become a knot, but on this overall chessboard, we are just chess pieces on the table, we are still lucky to be able to eat chess and be eaten, and what is even more terrible is that we are obscure, and we are not even qualified to fight once for cultivation." ”
He waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this, but now the city is strictly checked, I want to start tomorrow, the nearby mountains and forests will also be laid a net, how can we take these two stand-ins out?"
The effective control distance of the stand-in puppets is more than three hundred miles, and they are now close to the limit, if they are forced to leave by a strict search, the puppets in the city will inevitably be exposed.
It's not a big deal, but it's always possible to expose some clues.
Huang Cheng thought for a moment and said: "According to the original plan, spread rumors in the city, stir up the situation here a little more, and then manipulate them to leave, it really can't be done, so I will abandon them and find a hidden corner to destroy them on the spot! It can be dissolved in a short period of time, and the hero post we submitted when we came, the identity is also fabricated, it was originally a reckless casual cultivation, no matter how great their ability is, they can't track it down, even if the time comes, use special means such as divination and hexagram to find out the truth, we have already gone away, don't pay attention to it. ”
Miao Yun nodded: "That's good." ”
The two of them did as they were told, and went their separate ways.
The next day, there were some rumors in the city that were extremely unfavorable to the Qishan families.
Overnight, I don't know who talked about it first, there was a stabbing of the city lord here, and the scattered cultivation masters present were all suspicious, and the major families were ready to join forces to investigate and interrogate them.
Some people also talked about that the Qishan Lin family, the Qishan Yao family, and the Qishan Mu family have all been secretly in contact with scattered cultivation, recruiting troops and horses, and plotting against each other.
It was also said that Elder Pang Weipang of the Lingbao Sect had learned of the murder of the envoy here, and he was furious, and decided to send several masters to come and severely punish the families, and at the same time instructed the Heavenly Dao Alliance to intervene in the investigation, and none of the suspects could escape.
"We have nothing to do with this matter, so why bother to stay and make others suspicious? It's better to leave here, and there will be a period later!"
"Yes, we're going out, let go of the city pass!"
"It's just this little prohibition, it can't stop us, hurry up and untie it, otherwise, we will break through. ”
A group of scattered cultivators with different hearts gathered in front of the city gate and put forward their own requirements to the families who were in charge of the city.
Seeing this, the families couldn't help but feel a big headache.
said let it go, let them go, the case of the city lord being stabbed is really strange, and among these loose cultivators, there is no lack of murder accomplices;
said that they were not allowed to leave, and forcibly kept people, so many masters made trouble, and it was also a force that should not be underestimated.
Moreover, there are many masters with vast magical powers and strong spells, and they are also the objects that everyone wants to fight for, and they can't be offended lightly.
As a result, when no one could oversee the overall situation and make a decision in one word, the various forces in Qishan had to be represented by each of the five more powerful families to discuss the final election.
In the end, the families came up with a solution, that is, each of them gave a guarantee for some of the scattered cultivators who were intended to be wooed, and after leaving their names and contact information, they let them go.
The stand-in puppets controlled by Huang Cheng and Miao Yun also went out of the city and went away because of this. (To be continued......)
