Chapter 54: Round-up
With the map of Rongwan City, the six sneaked all the way to an inn building in the west of the city, and asked for a guest room on the fourth floor of the top floor to live in. When I opened the window facing west of the guest room, I saw that the area around the Ma family's compound was dark, and I couldn't see through it, as if it didn't exist.
Several people knew that this was due to the formation, and one of them made a transmission note, and a faint light shot out of the window, and it disappeared in a flash, and there was still no movement on the other side of the compound.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the compound still did not respond, the monk who led the team had a solemn face, and wondered, the formation outside the Ma family courtyard did not receive the transmission note, was it captured by Baishamen, or was it trapped inside and waiting for help?
The monk who led the team took out the map provided by Yunbeifang City, and when Yunbeifang City replied just now, it notified two secret strongholds and contacts of the Ma family. These two strongholds are usually garrisoned by samurai, and the boss on the surface is a businessman, and secretly he is a member of the Ma family, who is used to secretly inquire about news in the city, an inn and restaurant, and a green building.
The monks who led the team were suspicious, and felt that whether the Ma family was captured or besieged, it was easy to lose manpower if they ventured to investigate near the compound. It's a pity that the Ma family's stronghold and contacts are mortals and can't be contacted with transliteration notes.
The monks who led the team didn't know that if the contact person was a monk, this stronghold would have been exposed a long time ago, and Baishamen had detailed information about all the monks who often appeared in the city, except for the passing monks.
The monk who led the team decided to send a mid-stage Qi refining monk to the two bases to find contacts to find out the news. Ask about the situation before making a plan.
Soon, an old mid-stage Qi refining monk left the inn in a carriage and headed for another inn in the north of the city. The five people who remained in the inn sat on the ground, and from time to time used their divine senses to probe the movements in the city, paying attention to the whereabouts of the old monk.
Zhu Renzhi, who was stationed in the city, used his divine sense to find out the movements of these six people, and when he saw that none of the six people went directly to Ma's house to investigate, he immediately sent a transmission note to the three residential strongholds in the west of the city. Soon, every other breath, three tightly wrapped iron box carriages drove out of the three strongholds and headed for the Moon Tower in the east of the city.
Zhu Renzhi carefully swept the three carriages with his divine sense, and found that the windows seemed to be filled with a lot of money and goods, and his divine sense could not pass through. He had hidden his subordinates so well that he nodded in satisfaction.
As long as there is no fluctuation of spiritual power, the divine consciousness will not be able to penetrate the solid copper and iron stone to investigate the still mortals inside. Therefore, the carriage that is impenetrable will not be guessed to be forbidden by the hidden formation. At this time, from time to time in the east of the city, there are carriages and horses from the Mianyue Tower to return to various places in the city, and from time to time there are chariots and horses from all over the city to the east of the city.
The old monk who came to the aid of the monks walked for less than half an hour when he arrived at an inn in the north of the city and asked the man to see the boss, who went downstairs to welcome him in. The old monk took out the Keqing token sent by Yunbeifang City, and the two exchanged identities, sat around the table, and quickly chatted about the situation.
At this time, three carriages drove from the west of the city to the east of the city according to different routes, one bypassed from the north, one bypassed from the south, and the other drove a little slower and drove directly from the west.
While the old monk was chatting energetically in the Ma family stronghold, the three carriages had already finished their glyphs, surrounded the inn where the other five loose cultivators were, and stopped, each only a few dozen zhang away from the inn. This is a blink of an eye distance for a monk.
The leading monk in the inn couldn't help but be stunned, the secret path was not good. There were a lot of carriages in the city tonight, and I thought it was due to the excitement of the green building, so I didn't care about the carriage. Moreover, none of these carriages had any spiritual power fluctuations, and after careful investigation just now, no monks were found in the carriages.
It's too late, it's too soon. The iron doors of the three carriages suddenly opened, and the three powerful spiritual pressures opened, and the monks in the carriage connected the dots on their toes, and rushed straight up through the cornices of each floor outside the window, outflanking the room where the monks were located, and enclosing the entire attic on the third floor.
On the cornices of the west-facing windows, a group of monks blocked the west window, and monks from the other two directions had already broken into the guest rooms in the northeast and southeast corners, respectively. Three groups of monks, finished in the shape of a glyph, outflanked and killed the monks who broke into the room where the scattered monks were located, and broke in through the windows of other guest rooms, and took advantage of the situation to light the sleeping holes of the other guests.
Seeing that a team of nearly thirty people surrounded him, the five scattered cultivators couldn't help but be very nervous, and immediately showed the magic weapon in their hands. However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and when the five of them found out that they were surrounded, they knew that they were not lucky. And the other party has obviously been planning for a long time, and he is prepared, and if he wants to hit six with one hit, there is only a dead end.
They all came for profit, and two of them came for the first time and had no grudges with Baishamen. The monk who led the team and the other two had come to help the Ma family many times before, and had fought many times with some monks in Baishamen, knew many people, and also formed a feud.
At this time, the nine monks at the end of the Baishamen Qi Refining Stage, protecting Zhu Yuan, the young master of the early stage of Qi Refining, rushed into the inn room one after another and surrounded the five people in the room. Zhu Yuan was not polite, frowned slightly, and said loudly: "I, the young master of Baishamen, come and report my name." ”
The first-time Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator smiled and bowed, and explained: "I, Yunbeifang City, have a loose cultivator He Feige, and when I first arrived in your land, I was entrusted by the Ma family in Rongwan City to mediate the grievances between the Ma family and your family. ”
Zhu Yuan snorted and said: "This door and the Ma family are on the same footing, there is me without him, there is him without me." You hand over your belongings, and go back to my door with me, and when you are done, let you go." ”
This time the ambush of Yunbeifang City was scattered, and all possible responses were explained to Zhu Yuan by Zhu Renzhi in advance.
The three groups of men and horses who were in ambush hid in the car of the stronghold in advance, in case the enemy did not go to the Ma family's compound and adjusted the encirclement. A low-level forbidden magic circle was made in the car, which Wang Xian had promised to prepare when he first came. If you want to win more than you can, ambush the enemy who comes to help, and catch them all, you must have the means to quietly surround the other party and not be detected.
The banquet of Mianyue Tower, which started yesterday, was also designed by Wang Xian to Zhu Renzhi.
The four famous names of Yunhu Prefecture are scattered everywhere, and the closest to Rongwan City is Ye Xiaoqing of Venus City two hundred miles away.
As for the carriages in the city, there were originally not so many people going to the Sleeping Moon Tower, and Baishamen organized sixty or seventy carriages, constantly going back and forth with the Sleeping Moon Tower, pulling the mortals inside the door back and forth.
Seeing Zhu Yuan say this, He Feige knew that this was the best result, and he didn't care what the monks who led the team did, so he put the low-level mystic weapon golden sword he had just held in his hand into the storage bag and handed the storage bag to Zhu Yuan. The monk next to Zhu Yuan took it and checked it, and the spirit stones, magic weapons, etc. were all there, so he nodded.
At this time, another mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator who came to Rongwan City for the first time also hurriedly put away his magic weapon and handed over the storage bag. The two monks of Baishamen tied the two of them with immortal ropes one after another.
According to the different mana of the binding object, the bundle immortal rope is divided into different categories of magic weapons. This time, it was a high-grade spiritual weapon, which could control the mana of the Qi refining period cultivators, so that they were like mortals, they could not be untied if they were tied, and they could not perform exercises, and only those who tied the rope could untie them.
The monks outside the door quickly squeezed in a few people and escorted the two tied up to the car, and there was also a low-level forbidden array on the car, which could trap the two of them. At this time, some guests of the inn were awakened, some opened the windows and opened the doors to check, and some began to exclaim, but soon, they were frightened back to their rooms when they saw a large number of Baishamen warriors coming on horseback.
The remaining three people knew that they were no better than the two just now, they had the blood of the Baishamen monk on their hands, and they didn't beg for mercy, they still held the magic weapon in their hands, waiting for Zhu Yuan to speak.
Zhu Yuan said to the monk who led the team with a strong voice: "Abolish the cultivation, you can take away the spirit stone, leave other belongings, and let you leave after destroying the Ma family." ”
For monks, abolishing one's practice is sometimes worse than death. Zhu Yuan could have killed these people to take revenge, but fighting in the city was inconvenient and could hurt the innocent. Especially considering that the fierce rival Fengling Sect monk will be coming soon, it is better to deal with this matter quietly as much as possible, which is conducive to fighting again.
The three people who led the team were pale, and when they saw that the matter had come to this, they had no choice but to accept their fate. They put away their magic weapons and handed over their storage bags. The Baishamen monk took the storage bag and walked out in a group of three people who were in charge of the execution. The two grabbed the arms of the leading monk from left to right and clamped him to death, while the other person exercised from the front, concentrating on vigilance, and waved his palm to the leading monk Dantian.
Hearing only a slight "snap", the leading monk snorted, and the dantian burst open, and the connected meridians with spiritual power all seemed to have been burned by hot iron, exhausted and broken, and there was no spiritual power at all. The severe pain made him weak and unable to stand, so he was carried by the left and right people, and slowly lowered to the ground and lay on his stomach, and since then he has become a mortal.
The dantian of the monk who led the team has been shattered, and he can no longer cultivate the truth, so he can only be a rich man and keep the spirit stone for his children and grandchildren. After doing the same to the other two, the Baishamen monk returned each person's spirit stone.
Soon, Zhu Renzhi rushed over. He had just gone from the city to the north of the city, chasing down the one who had gone to the middle stage of Qi refining in the Ma family's stronghold in the north of the city. He didn't choose to make a move inside the city, and asked the Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivator near the northern city wall of the city to cooperate with the interception, and the two of them worked together to kill him outside the northern city. He also arranged for the Baishamen warriors to pull out the two secret mortal strongholds of the Ma family in the city.
Zhu Yuan reported the situation to Zhu Renzhi, Zhu Renzhi listened, glanced at the monk and the other three, nodded with satisfaction, patted Zhu Yuan's shoulder to show encouragement, and turned around and went downstairs, and the other monks also withdrew like a tide. A few Baishamen warriors downstairs finally walked into the room and escorted the three cultivators back to Baishamen.
