Li Mo said: "The Demon Heart Stone Spirit has been living in the outside world for more than half a year, and no one knows if it is the first time he has arrived in the Extremely Evil City, and it is very likely that he already has a place here. ”

"The sect master's worries are not unreasonable, if the news of our investigation of this person spreads, he will be targeted. Zhu Duanmu nodded straightly.

On the side, the guard immediately said: "The subordinates and other investigations are very careful, not all the inquiries on the street." ”

"Even so, it seems to be constrained. Li Mo waved his hand.

"What should we do? We know that the Demon Heart Stone Spirit is in the city, and it is planning something somewhere, but we have to look ahead and have no idea where to start. Zhu Duanmu frowned.

Li Mo thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, Guan Changming has not come forward for ten years, who is the affairs of the city handed over?"

The guard immediately replied: "The city is distributed according to the positions of the sect, and the highest position except for the city lord is the elder, referred to as the city elder. There are more than 30 city elders in the city, and all important affairs are handed over to the city elders to solve at meetings. But in fact, the two are mainly responsible, one is Guan Changming's fellow disciple Guan Shun, and the other is Hua Tianbao, a brother who has a life-and-death relationship with Guan Changming, but I heard that there is a gap between the two, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. ”

"Tell me more. Li Mo touched his chin and thought.

The guard continued: "This Guan Shun has always been high-flying, relying on being Guan Changming's junior brother, he doesn't take anyone in his eyes, and he is also arrogant and domineering when he does things. This Hua Tianbao is the brother who fled with Guan Changming back then, and I heard that he once saved his life, this person is also quite ambitious, and he is the only person who can argue with Guan Shun. ”

"In this way, both of them are likely to inherit the position of the city lord, so they regard each other as a thorn in their side. Li Mo pondered for a moment, and then said, "Pass on my words, focus on investigating these two people and the people around them." ”

"Yes. The guard bowed and immediately left the house.

After Zhu Duanmu closed the door and walked into the hall, he asked, "Does the sect master think that the status of the Demon Heart Stone Spirit here is high enough to be able to get involved with these two people?"

Li Mo said lightly: "The Demon Heart Stone Spirit must have an intention to come here, and most of it is to find a few specific spirit treasures. ”

"A specific spirit treasure?" asked Zhu Duanmu.

Li Mo nodded and said, "It's just my inference at the moment, but if it's as I expected, he should have figured out where the spirit treasure is." It should not be so easy to enter the place where the spiritual treasure is stored, it may be the treasure house of a big man or even the treasure house of the city lord. The Demon Heart Stone Spirit is extremely cunning, and after planning for so long, I think he is most likely lurking around this person and waiting for an opportunity. ”

Zhu Duanmu nodded and said, "After the sect master's analysis, my subordinates really have a feeling of seeing the sun. As long as I find him, I don't need the sect master to make a move, I will directly give him a fatal blow. ”

Li Mo nodded slightly and did not speak.

I just hope that things are really that simple, if Zhu Duanmu can finish off the Demon Heart Stone Spirit as soon as he makes a move, then everyone will naturally be happy.

"However, now that the Demon Heart Stone Spirit has swallowed the Filthy Bead and has the ability to escape from the earth, it may not be possible to succeed now. Zhu Duanmu said worriedly.

"I don't think it's that simple, although the Filthy Bead can be escaped, but the location of the treasure house must also be full of formations, not just by the Filthy Bead can pass. Besides, it would take a long time for the Demon Heart Stone Spirit to fully absorb the power of the Filthy Bead. Li Mo said.

The next day, early in the morning, the guards rushed back to make a report, but the result was disappointing.

Although the investigation of the important people around Guan Shun and Hua Tianbao was clear, none of them matched the appearance characteristics of the Demon Heart Stone Spirit.

"Could it be that this Demon Heart Stone Spirit is possessed by someone else?" Zhu Duanmu speculated.

"If that's the case, it's going to be tricky, and it looks like we're going to have to speed it up. Li Mo frowned, and then asked, "Who manages the household registration in the city?"

"The head of the household registration office is called An Sanyuan. The guard replied immediately.

"How is this person?" asked Li Mo.

The guard replied, "This man is very greedy for money, and I heard that his subordinates are also a group of money-greedy people. Anyone who wants to ask him for help will have to pay a lot of money. However, this person is also a ruthless person, and many people have sacrificed treasures in the past, but they have not returned. ”

"If that's the case, then I'll personally visit this An Sanyuan. Li Mo stood up.

"Sect Master, I'll go with you. Zhu Duanmu said immediately.

"No need, how can I be like a person in distress with you following me?" Li Mo said with a smile.

"But my subordinates are afraid that there will be another accident within the Filthy Beast. Zhu Duanmu hurriedly said.

Li Mo smiled slightly, took out a medicine bottle from the ring, poured a pill and took it.

Suddenly, his body swelled, and his original standard body shape suddenly became a little fat man.

"Isn't this Yi Xingdan, it turns out that the sect master has been prepared for a long time. Zhu Duanmu laughed at this time.

Li Mo touched the fat on his face and said with a light smile: "When I left, I took a lot of sect secret medicines. This pill can not only change the appearance, but also change the breath. In this way, even if I meet that demon heart stone spirit, I will not recognize me. ”

Then, Li Mo immediately went to the mansion and came to a house on East Street.

Outside the courtyard, there were two lines of people and horses stationed, all of them were burly and fierce.

At this time, the door was open, and a man in gray was explaining something, and at first glance, this person was a person with some status in the house.

Li Mo immediately hurried over, handed over a bag of spirit stones, and said with a smile: "I want to ask to see Master An, and I also ask my eldest brother to help introduce him." ”

The gray-clothed man glanced at Li Mo, took the spirit stone bag, and his eyes lit up slightly, this weight was heavy.

He said lightly: "This little brother is quite good, but with such a small bag, I'm afraid I will have to wait a lot." ”

Li Mo secretly laughed at the man's greed, but his net worth of tens of millions was not uncommon, so he took out another bag, handed it over, and said, "Please also ask the eldest brother for help, there will be heavy thanks after the matter is completed." ”

The man in gray laughed at this time, and while putting away his things, he said, "You kid, don't forget what Jì said." ”

When the words fell, he waved his hand and said, "Come with me." ”

So, under the leadership of the man in gray, Li Mo entered the house, meandered along the road, and it didn't take long to come to a hall.

In the hall, a middle-aged fat man was lying on his back on the Taishi chair, swaying, closing his eyes and resting.

"Lord An, there is a little brother who said that he wants to see something. ”

The man in gray walked in and said.

An Sanyuan waved his hand, and Li Mo immediately walked in from outside the hall.

An Sanyuan closed his eyes and said casually: "Boy, what is your important business?"

Li Mo took out a white jade box and said, "I heard that Master An was born in a famous family, is erudite and well-read, and is a well-deserved first person among all the principals in the city. I got a treasure in the next occasion, and I want to dedicate it to Lord An. ”

An Sanyuan opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Mo, and then pouted at the man in gray.

Li Mo smiled secretly, this An Sanyuan is really like the intelligence of the investigation, although he is a traitor who deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, he is still quite proud of the fact that he is from a big sect, and he prefers to be mentioned by others.

The man in gray took the box, sent it to An Sanyuan, and slowly opened it.

When the box was opened, the luster was exposed, and I saw a crystal clear stone placed in the middle, like jade but not jade, and it also showed a bit of metallic color.

"This is the Aomine Stone!"

An Sanyuan sat up abruptly and blurted out.

His surprised state was naturally expected by Li Mo, he couldn't give up the child and couldn't trap the wolf, this Qingfeng Stone was at least a treasure of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, and the most important thing was that this thing was rare, especially for cultivators who cultivated the true qi of the golden system.

An Sanyuan quickly calmed down, and when he looked at Li Mo again, a smile appeared on his face.

"Boy, how did you get this?"

Li Mo smiled and said: "This stone was obtained by chance in the lower market, but how can you have such a heavy treasure in the lower district, so I want to dedicate it to the adult, and please accept it with a smile." ”

An Sanyuan laughed loudly, bowed his head slightly, and said: "You kid is self-aware, this is to know your own weight." Since you gave me this thing, then I, An Sanyuan, am not a stingy person. It's not hard to get you a position in the city. ”

Li Mo immediately said: "I don't want any position in the next place. ”

"Then what do you want?" An Sanyuan frowned, obviously a little displeased.

Li Mo said bluntly: "In fact, there is a heavy treasure in my hand that I want to dedicate to Lord Guan Shun." ”

"Heavy treasure?" An Sanyuan's eyes flashed, revealing greed.

Li Mo said solemnly: "This treasure can be described as priceless, and it is by no means comparable to Qingfeng Stone. But there is no way to meet Lord Guan Shun in Xia, so I want to ask Lord An to help pull a line. ”

An Sanyuan smiled and said, "What a boy, he is young, but his ambition is quite big!"

Li Mo understood and knew his current situation better.

An Sanyuan may do it to himself and seize the heavy treasure, either swallowing it himself or giving it to Guan Shun.

And for such an unknown junior, for this city, it doesn't matter whether he has zài or not.

However, he had already prepared for a long time and would not let An Sanyuan move this thought.

He immediately said: "Don't hide it from Lord An, in fact, there is an eye technique in the cultivation of Xia, which can penetrate everything within a certain range. The reason why the Qingfeng Stone was obtained by me is that this thing was originally hidden in the mezzanine of a treasure box, but no one knew about it. However, the younger generation was able to see through it and found that it existed. ”

"Are you serious?" An Sanyuan really became interested and immediately asked.

"How dare you deceive your lords, and if you don't believe them, you can give them a try. Li Mo said with a smile.

"Okay, An Qing, you go to my study and bring me the box on the desk. An Sanyuan commanded.

The man in gray immediately bowed and retreated, and soon after, he entered the hall with a black box in his hand.

An Sanyuan patted the box, and said with a gloomy smile: "Boy, I'll try your ability." If you really have the ability to see through the contents of the box, then this matter is negotiable. But if you dare to deceive me, don't blame me for being rude!"

When the words fell, murderous intent oozed from his eyes.
