Chapter 270: The Truth Emerges

In the realm of cultivation, the law is often the strong, and strength is respected; whoever has a hard fist is the truth, and no one can refute it.

However, Li Ming and Wen Zhibin, who came from the modern society of the mortal world, still acted in the style of modern society, and major matters usually had to be held in meetings, and the monks discussed and resolved them.

This is something that monks from the mortal realm have become accustomed to. However, those native-born cultivators of the True Realm all dared to be novel, and at the same time, they were also envious. This is a unique thing in their sect or family.

More than 20 people discussed their views on the matter, expressing their opinions and brainstorming. All of them put forward their own opinions.

In the end, according to everyone's opinions, Li Ming decided to thoroughly investigate the affairs of Mingmen Town. If it is really related to the extraterritorial heavenly demons, it must be reported to Dongfang Long in time, so that Dongfang Dragon can come to subdue the demons. Li Ming and Wen Zhibin were not arrogant enough to be able to defeat the extraterritorial heavenly demons.

Moreover, the characters that Dongfang Long gave to the two of them were only to find out the hiding place of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon and the Killing Demon Venerable, as well as the conspiracy they were engaged in behind the scenes.

Night was fast approaching. The starry sky and the originally bright full moon did not shed the slightest light that was obscured by a large mass of sudden dark clouds.

In the dark night, the entire famous town was like a sleeping beast, silent. Those who are still barely supporting the façade to do business during the day have long since closed their doors and taken precautions.

Since the accident in Mingmen Town, the prosperity of the past has been greatly changed. Every night, both monks and ordinary people close the door early and avoid vigilantly.

But in a relatively remote street, there was a tavern, which was very exceptionally closed, still lit with bright lanterns and open the damper, as if it were still open.

However, the huge tavern was empty!

It's just that in the open space in front of the tavern, there is a table with a few appetizers on it, and two old men are drinking each other.

The old man sitting on the throne had frosty temples and wrinkles on his face. However, it seems to be very strong.

The old man on the opposite side also looked like an old dragon clock, but his slightly hunched back couldn't hide the old man's fierceness when he was young.

"Lao Li, you said that you have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, why didn't you come back early or late, but you came back just in time for this juncture!"

"Brother Zhao, as the saying goes, how can I stand by the river without getting my shoes wet, brother, I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes all my life, and when I am old, I also want to return to my roots. The brothers we wanted to be good to back then, and you are the only one left, Brother Zhao, so we have to go to your tavern to beg for wine!" Reaching out and wiping the wine that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he still looked a little unsatisfied.

"Alas, you still look like a young man, and you're addicted to drinking!" The shopkeeper Zhao of the tavern flashed a hint of remembrance in his eyes, and picked up the wine jug and poured it for Lao Li.

"If you want to drink, you can come at any time. Brother has the drinks here, feel free to drink. It's just that our famous town is not very peaceful! Many famous families have already moved away. We, the old guys who can't leave our homeland, are still here to support us!" Zhao sighed and explained.

Old Man Li's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, he held down the wine glass and didn't move, and asked, "What's going on?" No wonder I found this town a little weird, even more depressed than when I left!"

"Brother, you just came back and don't know. Since a year ago, our town has been experiencing missing persons. Almost every night, someone mysteriously disappears, and no matter how much they are investigated, there is not the slightest clue. ”

"Aren't there a lot of monks in our famous town? they are all masters of those hidden sects and families who have left behind to be responsible for purchasing daily necessities. Can you just watch this happen and not stop it?" Old man Li was a little angry, the number of those monks was almost comparable to the ordinary people in Mingmen Town.

Shopkeeper Zhao had a bitter face, drank a glass of wine, coughed lightly twice, and said slowly: "Stop it? Can they not stop it? Those who are missing are all cultivators! They are all monks of their sects and families." It's just that how can they stop it!"

"The missing ones are all monks!, what about us ordinary people?" asked Old Man Li.

"We ordinary people, that demon can't look down on it. was dismissive of us, which made the ordinary people of Mingmen Town stay. Otherwise, if you come back today, you won't be able to see my brother!"

Old man Li pondered for a moment, "So that's the case, why should I say that your tavern is open, brother!"

Boss Zhao smiled bitterly, "It's not because you're back, an old thing, otherwise I would have closed the door and slept a long time ago." If I see that demon again, I'll be scared that I won't be able to sleep well for a few nights!"

Old man Li was shocked, "Brother Zhao, did you see that demon?"

Shopkeeper Zhao's body trembled, and he looked around nervously, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and then said in a low voice: "One night, I got up to pee." I happened to see a black shadow flying out of the big mansion over there, and there was a figure who didn't know whether to live or die. Although it was late at night, I still vaguely recognized that the figure was a monk in the big mansion, and I heard that he was already a strong man in the Yuan Infant Stage!"

Old man Li's interest suddenly came up, and he asked tightly: "Old brother, what does that black shadow look like, have you ever looked at it carefully?"

Shopkeeper Zhao didn't speak, but his eyes showed deep fear, and after he gulped down a glass of old wine, he said with palpitations: "It's good to be able to see a shadow, at that time, I was nervous to death, and I was scared to death." Where else did you notice what he looked like? But, in retrospect, the demon seemed to be just a shadow. ”

"Shadow!" Old Man Li's hands trembled, and he had just poured a glass of wine, all of which had been sprinkled on the table, as if he hadn't noticed it yet.

Different from Zhao's shopkeeper, Old Man Li is a martial artist who walks on the rivers and lakes, and he also knows a lot about the things in the cultivation realm. Even through some secret channels, Old Man Li also knew about the extraterritorial Heavenly Demon.

"It can't be the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon here, right? If that's the case, then it's terrible!" Old Man Li clearly knew that the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon not only sucked the souls of cultivators, but also didn't let ordinary people go.

There are no ordinary people missing in Mingmen Town now, presumably because there are many monks here. And the quality of the monk's soul is higher than that of ordinary people, absorbing the soul of a low-level monk, the energy can be compared to the souls of hundreds of ordinary people.

This should be the reason why the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon chose a cultivator. However, if the number of cultivators in this place decreases drastically, then the extraterritorial heavenly demons will definitely focus on ordinary people eventually, and then it will be the end of ordinary people in the town.

"Brother Zhao, you hurry up and pack your things and leave here early tomorrow morning. If I'm not bad, it won't be long before ordinary people continue to disappear, and the numbers should be huge. ”

Seeing Old Man Li's eagerness, he seemed to know what the inside story was. Shopkeeper Zhao asked: "Brother, our brothers have been friends for decades, and you can tell me anything directly." Do you know who the demon behind the curtain is?"

This time it was Old Man Li's turn to tremble, and after he cautiously looked around, he said softly: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhao, the younger brother has heard people mention in the rivers and lakes that there are many extraterritorial heavenly demons in the cultivation realm today. The major sects have already sent disciples and masters to go out of the mountains to kill demons and eliminate demons. And as far as I know, those who often appear like shadows must be extraterritorial heavenly demons. That's a tricky storage that many cultivators are powerhouse, and we can't afford to mess with it!"

"Ugh!"

Old man Li said everything he knew, but found that Shopkeeper Zhao's face was suddenly full of fear, and his throat gurgled as if he was stuck with a fish bone.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

Old man Li asked eagerly with a concerned face. At the same time, when you stand up, you have to walk over to check.

"You"

Shopkeeper Zhao squeezed out a word with great difficulty, and struggled to point at Old Man Li's back.

When Old Man Li saw this action of Shopkeeper Zhao, his hair immediately stood on end, and cold sweat poured out.

Old man Li clearly saw a humanoid shadow from the pupils of Shopkeeper Zhao, floating behind him, and the shadow's eyes shot a very indifferent gaze. Indifferent without the slightest emotion.

"Hey!"

Old man Li has not been able to walk for many years, although he was very frightened in his heart, he still exhaled, turned around and shook his hand to hit the hidden weapon in his palm.

"Let's go!"

After playing the hidden weapon, Old Man Li didn't look at it, and jumped in front of Shopkeeper Zhao, stretched out his hand to grab Shopkeeper Zhao's arm, and was about to rush into the tavern.

Burst!

Old man Li felt that his vest was cold, his body trembled, and the internal force surging in the dantian poured down like flowing water.

He reluctantly lowered his head and looked at it, only to see that a blood hole appeared in his chest at some point, blood gushed out, and the flying knife he threw out earlier was inserted in the door panel in front of him.

"Run"

Old man Li reluctantly spit out a word, used the last bit of strength in his body, and threw Shopkeeper Zhao into the house.

At the same time, with a thud, his body fell to the ground. Old man Li also clearly saw that the figure that appeared in the air was indeed a shadow.

"Sure enough, it's an extraterritorial heavenly demon, it seems that I really shouldn't come back!" Old man Li closed his eyes unwillingly.

After a breath, a black shadow appeared from Old Man Li's body, and after looking around blankly, he suddenly woke up, writhing and about to escape.

But when he saw the black shadow in the sky suck it violently, Old Man Li's soul was sucked away. Like eating noodles, I was sucked into my mouth by the shadow.
