Cultivating immortals is a hard job

The fire in the City Lord's Mansion didn't last long.

Fortunately, the place where the fire broke out was in a side hall that had been uninhabited all year round, so there were no casualties.

But it is precisely because of this that people have to wonder whether someone deliberately set the fire.

Not long after, the investigation orders from the elders of each room were issued.

But at this time, Mo Xun had already left.

But he didn't return to the store. It was dark and windy, and a figure quietly appeared near the first floor of Tianyi where he had been during the day.

Repeating the same trick again, he first released the Zixiao Qingfu, briefly explored the terrain, and then jumped up and disappeared from the place.

What he did in the city lord's mansion would probably cause an uproar in the city in less than two days.

Once Huangfu Xin becomes alert, things will become difficult to handle.

The first ray of rising sun passed through the morning fog and spread into this ancient city that has existed for countless years.

The city that had been silent all night was finally about to usher in the hustle and bustle of a new day.

Busy people, life continues in peace. Not many people know what kind of extraordinary things those high-ranking big shots experienced in this ordinary night that just passed.

Of course, this has nothing to do with them.

What they care about may just be how today's business is going, what they will eat for the next meal, or whether they can save enough bride price this month to marry a girl from that family.

For thousands of years, history has continued to rotate, and dynasties have continued to change.

What remains unchanged is the ordinary life of the people at the bottom.

They shape history, but are often the ones most easily forgotten by history.

The Southern Xinjiang Arms Pavilion is open for business as before!

Time went back half an hour to the first floor of the sky.

"Master, something happened!"

Huangfu Xin, who was still in seclusion in the secret room, suddenly jumped up from the futon.

With a rumble, the stone door opened, and a hurried old man in black stepped in.

"What's wrong?"

"Master, that man was rescued!"

Huangfu Xin was stunned at first, but soon realized who the other party was talking about, and then his face immediately turned gloomy.

"What's going on?"

"The guards were all unconscious. There was no sign of a fight, and no guards were alerted. They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. A treasury in our building was also looted, using the same techniques as before at the Akabane Gate. "

Hearing this, Huangfu Xin clenched his fists secretly, his eyes showing a cold light.

"What a Southern Weapons Pavilion, but I underestimated him!"

"There is another thing that may also be related to us."

Huangfu Xin's eyes narrowed.

"What's up?"

The old man in black said equally solemnly: "According to the news from the internal detective, a side hall of the city lord's palace suddenly caught fire not long ago. During the investigation, it was found that there seemed to be problems in the underground treasure house, but those old guys were The matter was suppressed and not made public.”

"Is the news accurate?"

The old man nodded.

"It should be almost the same. I've contacted other spies to verify."

Huangfu Xin took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then ordered: "Don't make any noise about our affairs now. It is completely beyond our control now. The Lord of the City will definitely intervene now. Maybe Shangwu City, Things will change soon.”

At the same time, four people were sitting together in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

The one at the top was a tall, middle-aged man with extraordinary abilities.

This person is none other than Xia Huaiying, the lord of this city!

Xia Huaiying had just been awakened from seclusion. At this time, his face was solemn, and he was silently listening to the reports of the three people next to him about tonight's events.

Among these three people, there was Zhao Qiyuan who was wooing Mo Xun that day.

"City Lord, what should we do about this matter?"

The person who asked this question was a short, middle-aged elder. He was the first to discover that the treasure house had been stolen.

Xia Huaiying turned to look at Zhao Qiyuan.

"Elder Zhao, you have dealt with this person, what do you think of this?"

Ever since the incident at the Red Feather Gate, Huangfu Xin was not the only one to point suspicion at Mo Xun in the entire Shangwu City.

The whole thing is really too much of a coincidence.

First, Fang Fengyao's grandson died at the hands of Mo Xun, and the name of the new grandmaster began to spread in the city. A few days later, Fang Fengyao and two shadow guards also died tragically in the mansion for no apparent reason.

Even if the reaction is slow, one can guess that it is probably related to the sudden emergence of the Southern Xinjiang Arms Pavilion.

Now, there was a strange theft in the city lord's palace that was no different from the Red Feather Gate. Everyone's first reaction was naturally Mo Xun.

When Fang Fengyao died, someone proposed to recruit Mo Xun for questioning.

But Fang Fengyao already had a bad reputation, so he was dead when he died, and no one was willing to offend the new grandmaster for an unrelated dead person.

On the other hand, the martial arts competition was about to be held, which involved the distribution of interests in Shangwu City. At this time, it was more suitable to win over each other, not to make enemies, so Zhao Qiyuan paid a sudden visit later.

If the Akabane Gate had only been moved, it would not have affected the few people present, but this person actually extended his hand directly into the City Lord's Mansion, then the problem would be different.

Zhao Qiyuan was somewhat confused at this moment.

Even if he overestimated Mo Xun, he never expected that Mo Xun would dare to break into the city lord's mansion and steal.

The key is, they did it quietly!

Another question is, how did the other party transport those things?

Not to mention that he was confused, other people also couldn't figure it out.

However, everyone had a guess in their mind at the same time, that is, this Pavilion Master Mo might not be from this world.

Because all the information about the other party before, no matter how to investigate, is almost blank.

This person, it seems to have jumped out of the cracks of the stone!

It seems that only this reason can explain the strangeness of the other party.

Zhao Qiyuan shook his head.

"The impression this person gives me is three words... can't see through!"

The others looked at him suspiciously, and didn't quite understand what he meant for a while.

Zhao Qiyuan continued: "There are blood fluctuations in his body, but not strong. If I didn't know it in advance, I'm afraid I would only regard him as a body refiner of about the third or fourth realm. However, when this person talked to me, he was not weak in momentum at all, and even gave me an illusion that he didn't take me seriously at all."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

None of those who can cultivate to this level are reckless people.

No one will judge a person's true strength based on just a few words.

"Now there is another question, can we be sure that these two thefts were committed by this person?"

This also awakened the others present.
