Chapter 193: Yuebei City

"At such a distance, it should be about the same. After Yu Linglong walked to a nearby street, she immediately stood on the side of the road and stopped.

Lu Xu's eyebrows moved, but he didn't ask anything in the end.

I saw Yue Linglong's sleeve robe shake, and the palm of her hand turned out to reveal a white jade disc of an inch size. The other hand pinched, the disc began to shine, and after a while, a faint phantus flew in from a distance, and when Yu Linglong saw this, his eyebrows stretched out, and he looked at the disc in his hand.

But seeing that the whole body of the disc was a little translucent, there was a faint phantom swimming in it, and then it slowly stopped and pointed in a certain direction.

Half an hour later, under the guidance of the disk, the two came to the door of an inn called "Yuelai" next to a relatively remote street in Yuebei City.

It is impossible for an inn to be built in such a secluded location, after all, there will be no guests here. But for those who don't want to get noticed, this is the place to go.

"This is where the last place the two deacons left their mark. Yu Linglong stood expressionlessly, her pupils shrank slightly, and she said slowly.

And Lu Xu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw the crooked word "Yuelai" on the dilapidated plaque of the inn.

......

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere.

The courtyard is planted with all kinds of unknown flowers and trees, and the aura here is relatively sufficient, and it is actually lush and green.

A winding gravel-paved path leads to the door of a seemingly ordinary guest room.

In the guest room, a man and a woman were standing carefully checking something, it was Yu Linglong and Lu Xu who were looking for them all the way.

It seems that the two deacons were indeed cautious, not only because the inn they had chosen was not very noticeable, but also because the rented courtyard was so secluded. Lu Xu looked at the surrounding environment, nodded and said.

Before entering the inn, the two of them asked the innkeeper about it, and after roughly describing the specific characteristics of the two deacons, they knew that they had stayed here a few months ago.

The two of them rented a small courtyard at the time, and after paying a month's rent in a lump sum, they asked not to be disturbed. However, the two did not come out in the next few days, and the shopkeeper thought that the two of them were out on errands, and he didn't think much about it. As a result, after January, the two of them did not appear, and the shopkeeper realized that something seemed wrong. The inspection of the two people's houses did not show any luggage, and after a long time, the matter was naturally closed. After learning that the courtyard had now been rented by several demon guests, without Yu Linglong's instructions, Lu Xu found those people, and as soon as he showed his strength, he scared away a few people with both soft and hard skills.

......

After some inspection, nothing seemed to be found.

It seems that the two of them did not leave any clues here. ”

Lu Xu sighed and said helplessly.

Yu Linglong didn't speak, and after a little muttering, she flipped her hand, and a white Yingying array flew out of her hand, and after a blur, it was suspended in mid-air.

I saw Yu Linglong's hands keep pinching the formula, reciting a few words, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, a magic formula hit the array plate in the air, and suddenly the white light was sheng.

"This soul searching array disk contains the essence blood of the deacons purchased, and within a certain range, it may be effective. Yu Linglong said calmly.

I saw a rapid rotation in the air array, and then the white light on the surface flickered, and two thumb-sized blood droplets slowly emerged from the white array, and then turned into two blood shadows and shot out, disappearing in an inconspicuous corner of the room.

Lu Xu looked at it, and there were several black drops of blood in the corner.

Yu Linglongdai's eyebrows furrowed, her expression was solemn, staring at the few drops of black blood without blinking.

As soon as she stepped into this room, her divine sense had already been opened, enveloping this room and everything within a radius of several zhang. However, with his powerful cultivation in the Jindan period, no trace of those drops of black blood was found at that time.

This time, if it weren't for Yu Linglong sacrificing the array plate that the high-level leaders of the six major factions gave for the defense of the first day, which contained the essence blood of the two alliance deacons, and found out the traces of these few drops of black blood, otherwise this matter would be even more clueless.

Even so, at present, apart from these few drops of black blood, the two of them could not find any other clues for a while.

Now it seems that it is very likely that someone deliberately did this, and I don't know what kind of strange means were used to erase most of the traces related to the two deacons in this room, and did not leave a single useful clue.

These residual black blood may also be the other party's negligence. ,

"It seems that eight out of ten of those two deacons have met with bad luck. Lu Xu looked at the black blood, sighed, and muttered.

"It's a bit strange. After Yu Linglong was silent for a moment, she said slowly, her jade hand moved into the air, and after the white light flickered, the array disk flew back into her sleeve and disappeared.

"Although Shizun found out through the array plate this time that this is indeed the place where the two deacons live, but so far, the clues are very vague, I don't know what we should do next?" Seeing this, Lu Xu asked with a slight flash in his eyes.

"Now that we've found this place, there's no reason to back down. Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows and said in a rather firm tone.

"What should I do next, please ask the master to command?" Lu Xu said.

"In the next two days, you should go to this city and inquire about it, and it would be better to find out if there is anything unusual in the city lately, and as for other things. I've got my own considerations. Yu Linglong nodded.

"Yes, Master. Lu Xu nodded without hesitation and agreed.

"The people involved in this matter are not simple to think about, and it may involve the existence of the Jindan period. After thinking about it, Yu Linglong said slowly.

"Jindan period, could it be related to the three major forces of the Shang Alliance?" Lu Xu was a little surprised after hearing this.

If it is really related to the Jindan period, it is undoubtedly a bit of a fire to intervene in this matter with the strength of the two of them, although his strength is comparable to the late stage of foundation building, and there is more evolved Void Ape to help, but when the Jindan period exists, it is still impossible to win, and there is still a worry about his life. You must know that when he was in Southern Xinjiang, the reason why he was able to escape from the hands of the Jindan period monks was because the main abilities of the corpse refining vein were all in the corpse refining, and if the corpse refining was removed, its combat effectiveness would be reduced by seventy percent.

Yu Linglong saw that Lu Xu showed a contemplative look and didn't speak for a while, and said with a smile:

"Those two deacons are also monks in the middle and late stages of the foundation building period, and the people who can kidnap or kill them from the inn without a sound can only be done by those in the Jindan period. However, this is only my guess, and it is unknown whether this is really the case. But when you're walking around the city, it's best to be cautious. ”

"Uh...... Thank you for Master's advice, the disciple will be more careful!" Lu Xu rarely saw such a vivid expression of his master, and he was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he react.

......

One night without incident!

Early the next morning, Lu Xu walked out of the Yuelai Inn with a calm expression, and began to slowly check the shops along the streets of Yuebei City.

For the first time after entering the business alliance, and in the case of no clue, I can only walk around as many people as possible.

Although this Yuebei City cannot be compared with Jiangzhou City and other cities in the general sense of the Yan Kingdom, the number of shops is quite amazing.

It took him more than half a day to turn around his small and medium-sized half of the shops.

Although there were a lot of harvests, and some spars and scarce materials of various properties were found, there was no similar news about the monks.

Lu Xu didn't have much impatience about this. On the contrary, he has always maintained an indifferent look.

......

In the remaining half a day, Lu Xu was still wandering around the city, and bought some information related to this place from the forces that he had found before that specialized in selling news.

Finally, he had some general understanding of the situation in this Yuebei City.

The first is that it is true that monks have disappeared recently, but this is not new, and even happens frequently. But all of them are those low-level casual cultivators who don't know the height of the sky, and they fight with people in various shops or auction places in the city, and they are expelled by the monks of the Heavenly Remnant Mountain, and their cultivation is abolished and thrown into the black prison.

The so-called disappearance was killed by those evil monks who sought money and killed them, and this matter happened almost every day in Yuebei City, but ordinary people would not mention it, and they just tacitly understood it.

The second is the news that three deacon disciples of one of the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao who were sent to the Shang Alliance were killed by an unknown monk outside the city, and ended up with no bones. The high-ranking forces of the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao were very angry about this, and they had sent the elders of the sect to the Shang Alliance to investigate the matter.

When Lu Xu heard about this, his expression remained unchanged, but deep down, he secretly sighed that it was not that the enemies did not get together.

......

On the morning of the third day.

In front of a time-honored restaurant "Drunken Immortal Building" in Yuebei City, a young man in a black robe came.

This person stood on the wide street in front of the building, squinting at the signboard of the Drunken Immortal Building, and his expression was quite strange, it was Lu Xu.

Coincidentally, he had originally planned to investigate in the restaurant in the city today, and the cultivator of the Sea Clan who sold the news yesterday, after speaking, enthusiastically recommended the spirit wine "Drunken Immortal Wine" in this restaurant.

The area of the restaurant is not large, but the business is very prosperous, and there is an endless stream of customers.

The reason why this is so is because the spirit wine "drunken fairy wine" sold in this restaurant is of great benefit to monks, and mortals also have the effect of prolonging life when they drink it.

Pedestrians passing by on the street outside the restaurant can smell the strong aroma of wine emitted from the restaurant, which makes people salivate and very tempting.

After Lu Xu found that the people who ate on the first floor were all mortals of all races, he went up to the second floor.

After settling down at the table by the street window on the second floor, Lu Xu asked for a bottle of the famous drunken fairy wine, and asked for a table full of local food.

......

Picked up a chopstick demon beast meat, only to see that the meat in the chopsticks was braised and shiny. From afar, you can smell a strong smell of meat, and a non-obvious aura spreads everywhere along with the smell of meat.

Lu Xu swallowed this piece of meat in one bite, only to feel that the braised pork in his mouth melted in his mouth, and it was fragrant and crispy.

At this moment, there were footsteps and the whispers of a man and a woman talking softly downstairs.

The sound of "oh" going upstairs came clearly.

A short time later, a handsome young man in a white robe with a slender figure and a petite and beautiful woman in white appeared at the entrance of the stairs.

Judging from the aura emanating from their bodies, they were also two immortal cultivators.

Lu Xu's divine sense quietly swept away, and he probably found that the girl in white should be a cultivator in the late stage of the Qi refining period, and the young man on the side was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

The girl seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but with a look of worry and anxiety on her face, she came to a table side by side with the young man and sat down, and after not eating and drinking a few mouthfuls of food, she stopped moving, and seemed to have something on her mind.

"Senior brother, it's been a long time, and there is still no news from them, is there really no clue left in the inn?" the girl in white suddenly said to the young man.

"Sister Fu, there are many big and small forces here, don't be too anxious before the matter is clear, after all, they are also cultivating in the foundation building period, and it is not the first time that they have come to this Yuebei City to purchase resources from that Tianyan Mountain. The young man frowned at first, swept his eyes around, and did not notice that anyone had noticed the conversation between the two of them, and then whispered with a relaxed expression.

"Could it be that they didn't stay at the inn?" asked the girl in white as if she was unwilling, her voice much quieter.

"It's unlikely. Every time they came to this Yuebei City before, they all lived in that inn temporarily, and they were also familiar with the innkeeper, and Uncle Shi had an abnormal personality and was stable, and he would not easily stay in a strange inn without special circumstances. The young man pondered for a moment before replying in a low voice.
