After the group got together and discussed it again, it was decided to increase the scope of the investigation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Since it was not found in the Imperial City, it was only possible for this person to hide outside the Imperial City.

However, outside the imperial city is the residence of ordinary mortals and ordinary people, and the scope is so wide that it cannot be completed in three or two days.

But several people have sect tasks in their bodies, and if they can't complete the task, they can't give an account to the sect.

So in desperation, Yuan Fei and the others left each other a transmission note, so that after contacting each other in time, they went their separate ways and went in a certain direction.

......

Late that night, on the top of a certain house, a figure suddenly flashed, and the figure of a black-clothed monk appeared from it, who was naturally Yuan Fei, who had searched all the way here.

Yuan Fei took a few glances at the streets with the help of the moonlight, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

The group had been searching for several days, and even inspected the nearby dry mountain and lonely peak, but they didn't even see the monk's figure.

As a result, there are only two outcomes left.

First, there is no so-called monk at all, and the national treasure mentioned by Mu Tianqi was stolen by a person who knows how to open the Eight Treasures Exquisite Box.

Another possibility is what Yuan Fei and the others are most worried about. That is, those who steal treasures, their cultivation is far above them. With the magical powers of the monks of the Rong Yuan period, the other party deliberately concealed the cultivation, and even if a person digs three feet into the ground, there will be no clues.

It's just that what makes everyone strange is that if the other party is really a Rongyuan period monk, under the carpet-like search of himself and others, the other party may not be able to help but make a move.

You must know that there is a big realm difference between the Qi cultivation period and the Rongyuan period, and the difference in strength is too great, even if the four of them work together, in front of a Rongyuan early stage monk, they are also mantis arms blocking the car, so the other party doesn't need to take anything into account.

But until now, it has been calm, and there is only the first possibility.

Thinking of this, Yuan Fei didn't continue to investigate, and planned to join up with the others first.

At this moment, Yuan Fei's expression suddenly changed, and he walked away without saying a word.

At the same time, a stream of blood flew past where he had been standing, and vanished in a flash.

Seeing this, Yuan Fei couldn't help but swallow his saliva in fright.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough just now, even if he wouldn't have died on the spot, he would have been seriously injured.

"Your Excellency is hiding in the dark and sneaking attack, what kind of ability is it?" Yuan Fei's eyes quickly swept around, but he didn't find any abnormality, and his heart suddenly became up-and-down.

"Haha, where is the use of sneak attacks against a little monk in the Qi cultivation period of you?" As soon as the words fell, an old man's laughter rang out in the void.

Immediately, a figure flashed, and a green-robed old Taoist appeared on the roof opposite Yuan Fei, it was the 'Qingzhu Old Dao', the national teacher of Yuanxia Kingdom.

"You're actually a Rongyuan Stage monk!" Yuan Fei was stunned at first, but after his divine sense swept over Qingzhu Lao Dao's body, he couldn't help but be shocked.

At this time, Qingzhu Lao Dao did not hide it at all, and suddenly exuded a 'powerful' aura that only a monk of the Rong Yuan period possessed.

"It's good to know. Presumably, you are also aware of the difference in strength between the Qi cultivation period and the Rongyuan period cultivators, so you had better be obedient, otherwise I don't mind taking your life. Qingzhu Lao Dao stroked his beard and said with disdain.

"Ahem, if the seniors have any orders, please tell me. Hearing this, Yuan Fei suddenly let out a "chuckle" in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

Now that he had learned that Qingzhu Lao Dao was a senior of the Rong Yuan Period, he didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.

Although Yuan Fei didn't know why the other party wanted to hide in the imperial city, he didn't ask a word of interest, because he was almost killed by Qingzhu Lao Dao just now.

"If what Lao Dao said is right, you should have a jade pendant similar to this one, right?" Qingzhu Lao Dao nodded with satisfaction, and took out a cyan jade pendant engraved with a white Jiao from his arms.

"The jade pendant taken by the seniors is very strange, and the younger generations have not seen it. After Yuan Fei looked at Yu Pei twice, his heart moved, and then he shook his head with a frown.

"Hmph, you don't have to act in front of Lao Dao, I've already tried all the other Lao Dao, and another jade pendant must be on you. If you know each other, hand over the jade pendant, otherwise this way will make you want to live and not die. Qingzhu Lao Dao's face sank, and he snorted coldly in his nose.

"Back to the seniors, there is really no such thing on the juniors, there is nothing to hand over?" Yuan Fei said with a wry smile, and at the same time his hands were secretly shrunk in his sleeves, and a dozen talismans were clasped in his hands.

"Then it's no wonder that the old way is old. After glancing at Yuan Fei with disdain, Qingzhu Lao Dao suddenly moved and rushed straight towards Yuan Fei.

Yuan Fei's expression was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly raised his hands together, and threw the two dozen talisman seals in his hand to the opposite side.

With a "hula", all the talismans shook in the wind and turned into a sea of fire.

What surprised Yuan Fei was that Qingzhu Lao Dao just flashed with golden light on his body, and he passed through the sea of fire unharmed, and with one hand raised, a blood chain flew out.

And the speed of the blood chain was fast, and before Yuan Fei could react, he was already tightly bound.

At the same time, Yuan Fei felt dizzy in his head, and he fell unconscious.

Seeing this, Qingzhu Lao Dao grabbed Yuan Fei in his hand, and then disappeared into the night sky in a flash.

In a certain jungle, Zheng Wei was under the attack of more than a dozen blue-faced fanged monsters.

"How could there be so many corpse refining corpses here all of a sudden? Could it be related to the theft of the national treasure?" Zheng Wei said with his thoughts as he resisted the monster's attack with the magic weapon.

"No, let's get in touch with the others. After Zheng Wei groaned for a while, he hurriedly took out the transmission note, and his lips moved slightly.

But what he didn't know was that Shi Song and Zhou Biyun were also fighting fiercely with a group of refining corpses, and when they learned Zheng Wei's information, the two of them were shocked at the same time, but they had no time to care about it at all.

......

Yuan Fei raised his drowsy eyelids and opened his eyes.

It is located in a large secret chamber with two stone chambers around it. At this time, the secret room was empty, and the old Qingzhu Dao before was gone.

"Where is this?" As soon as Yuan Fei woke up, he couldn't help but look around a few times suspiciously.

He clearly remembered that he had been caught by Qingzhu Lao Dao, but now not only was he unscathed, but even the storage bag was still hanging from his waist.

But soon he noticed something was wrong.

The aura in his body became slight, and the exercises could not run smoothly, obviously he had been poisoned by some kind of strange poison.

No wonder he was so relieved, this kind of strange poison could not only make the monk lose his spiritual power, but also his whole body could not lift up a little strength. If it were other monks, they could only sit and wait for death. As for yourself, if you want to recover, it will only take some time to recover. Yuan Fei thought secretly in his heart.

After making sure that he was not worried about his life now, Yuan Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, suddenly the stone door of the secret room opened, and an old man in a green robe walked in, who was a person from Qingzhu Dao.

"Are you awake?" Qingzhu Lao Dao glanced at Yuan Fei a few times, and said with his hand twisted his beard.

"Thank you for your concern. I don't know where this is?" Yuan Fei's face turned slightly pale, and he replied lightly.

"This is an underground chamber in the inner courtyard of the Imperial City. Aside from Lao Dao, you're the first to come here. Qingzhu Lao Dao looked around and said with a smile.

"That junior is very honored. But since the senior is a monk of the Rong Yuan period, why did he violate the regulations of the immortal cultivation realm and become a national teacher in the Imperial City?" Yuan Fei said with a frown after his heart moved.

"You are a dying person, why do you know so much?" Qingzhu snorted.

"Doesn't the senior want to know the whereabouts of the other jade pendant? Moreover, the junior is a disciple of the Nine Sword Sect of the Yuanxia Kingdom, so the senior is not afraid that the sect will hunt you down afterwards?" Yuan Fei couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"The jade pendant was really hidden by you. The Nine Swords Sect is a big sect. However, who knew that you died at the hands of Lao Dao? Now that the corpse refining outside the imperial city is raging, the other three monks themselves will not be able to protect themselves, and you will be considered to have died at the hands of the corpse refiner. As soon as he heard this, Qingzhu Lao Dao's voice suddenly became cold, and he looked confident.

It turned out that after the vision occurred in the jade pendant, Yuan Fei did not have a little suspicion of Qingzhu Old Dao, but he did not find anything abnormal.

But for the sake of caution, he still put the strange jade pendant in a place where he felt safe.

It's just that he didn't expect this Qingzhu old road to be so deep in the city.

"It's okay to tell the seniors, but the lives of the juniors may be gone immediately. Yuan Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Since you refuse to speak, then I can only use the soul searching technique. Qingzhu Lao Dao's eyes narrowed, and he said with a grim face.

"Although the younger generation doesn't know much, he also knows that the soul search technique can only allow the caster to obtain some vague memories of the monk. Besides, if the seniors really wanted to search for the souls of the juniors, they should have started a long time ago, and they would not wait for the juniors to wake up at all. I'm afraid that the seniors are also afraid that if they don't get the news of the jade pendant by then, they will lose their wife and lose their soldiers. Hearing this, Yuan Fei's heart couldn't help but froze, but after his eyes rolled, he grinned.

This 'soul searching', as the name suggests, is to search for the memories stored in the monk's primordial spirit.

However, this technique also has some limitations, and under normal circumstances, only monks with high cultivation can search for souls from monks with low cultivation. Because performing the Soul Searching Technique requires sufficient divine consciousness support, and it must be much stronger than the other party. On the contrary, if the Yuan Shen is not strong enough for the other party, it is easy to suffer from backlash.

"You're not stupid. But if you're stubborn, I'll have to try it myself. If you're lucky, you'll be able to save a little life, but then you'll be no different from a fool. Lao Dao has no interest in a fool, and the end result is the same. Qingzhu Lao Dao smiled sadly.

"The younger generation cherishes his own life very much, but he is naturally very happy to change it for a useless jade pendant. But how can the seniors ensure that they don't kill the juniors after they say the whereabouts of the jade pendant?" Yuan Fei asked after pondering for a moment.

"Do you want Lao Dao to make me swear a demonic oath? It's really wishful thinking! Lao Dao can promise to let you leave as soon as you say the jade pendant accurately, and if you let Lao Dao encounter it again in the future, he will not be spared. But if what you say is a little deceitful, don't blame the old man for being ruthless. Qingzhu Lao Dao's face suddenly sank, and he said disdainfully.
