Mortal Seeking Immortal

Chapter 112: Capturing the Thief

Xue Mei was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Who is it? If you can help me, I will reward you handsomely!"

Ye Zhou continued to transmit, "The man in the gray Taoist robe on the right."

Xue Mei hurriedly looked in the direction Ye Zhou said. There was indeed a man in a gray Taoist robe not far to her right, but Xue Mei did not take action. Instead, she hesitated and asked, "I wonder how Mr. Ye found this thief?"

It's not that she didn't believe Ye Zhou, but this matter was of great importance. If this person was not a thief, if she acted rashly, it might cause dissatisfaction among the guests present.

As soon as Xue Mei said this, she was afraid that Ye Zhou would be disgusted, so she immediately explained: "Mr. Ye, I am not questioning you, I just..."

Ye Zhou did not mind. He could understand Xue Mei's situation at this time. Ye Zhou said: "If Miss Xue Mei must ask the reason, it may be that my natural consciousness is a little higher than that of ordinary people. Just now, that person was relatively close to me, and I saw the whole process of his murder disguise through the magic fog. Moreover, after the fog dissipated, his abnormal breath was most obvious."

Xue Mei was shocked.

She did not know whether it was accurate that the rumor that it took the consciousness of the Jindan stage to penetrate the magic fog was accurate, but anyway, even her consciousness, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, could not penetrate it.

Ye Zhou was just a small cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, and his consciousness was so powerful that it was far superior to her, a cultivator in the Foundation Building stage, and it was even possible to rival a cultivator in the Jindan stage. This was too exaggerated.

Are you sure it is only a little higher than that of ordinary people?

Xue Mei was shocked beyond words.

"As expected of a disciple favored by a Yuanying-level old monster, a mere Qi training cultivator's spiritual consciousness has reached such a level, it's too terrifying!"

If someone else said this to Xue Mei, Xue Mei would suspect that someone was deliberately harming her.

Losing treasures is a serious crime. If she forcefully investigates a guest's storage bag, and that guest is not a thief, then she will add to her crime and will never be able to turn over.

But now the person who told her the news is the mysterious Ye Zhou. Xue Mei not only did not doubt it, but also felt that it was reasonable.

Xue Mei gritted her teeth. At this point, she had to take a risk and try it once. Then she did not hesitate. After transmitting the message to several foundation-building cultivators present, she ordered them to immediately surround the man in the gray Taoist robe and besiege him.

The gray Taoist man was horrified: "Impossible, how could you recognize it!"

Then he stretched out his hands, and a black iron hook with an iron chain appeared in his hands. The gray-robed man clenched his hands, and the spiritual power in his body flowed into the iron hook from his hands. The surface of the iron hook emitted a black light, which flew straight out and hit Xue Mei who was flying in front.

Xue Mei raised her white hand, and the red silk emitting red light whipped towards the iron hook. With a "bang", the iron hook staggered in the air. Xue Mei's spiritual power hit the red silk, and the red silk bypassed the iron hook and attacked the gray-robed man behind it.

At the same time, the attacks of several other foundation-building monks who surrounded the gray-robed man also arrived. At the same time, several magic weapons fell towards the gray-robed man.

The gray-robed man pulled the iron chain in his hand and swung it. The black iron hook that was suspended in the air opened and closed, and a cloud of deep purple poisonous mist sprayed out from it. The iron hook flew around the gray-robed man while releasing the poisonous mist.

Wherever the poisonous fog passed, the ground and walls melted. It was extremely poisonous.

Seeing this, the faces of several foundation-building monks who were besieging the gray-robed man changed, and the various magic weapons that attacked the gray-robed man had to stop in mid-air, fearing that their magic weapons would be damaged by the poisonous fog.

Xue Mei sneered and shook the storage bracelet, and took out the green gem. A stream of spiritual power hit the green gem, and the green gem flew towards the purple poisonous fog around the gray-robed man. In a short while, it absorbed most of the poisonous fog around the gray-robed man.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the gray-robed man waved the iron hook in his hand to hook down the green gem floating in the air. Unexpectedly, when the iron hook just flew out of the purple poisonous fog, Xue Mei, who had been waiting for a long time, hit the red silk in front of her with a stream of spiritual power, and the red silk instantly rolled towards the black iron hook with a red light.

The red silk attacked very quickly. Just as the gray-robed man was about to retract the iron hook, he saw the red silk had already rolled up the iron hook and flew towards Xue Mei. The red silk tightly wrapped around the opening of the iron hook, and the iron hook could no longer spit out a trace of poisonous mist.

The poisonous mist around the gray-robed man had also been completely absorbed by the green gem. Several foundation-building cultivators waiting nearby took action together. Several magical instruments flashing with spiritual power rushed forward at the same time, and the gray-robed man was quickly captured.

The gray-robed man, whose spiritual power was sealed and tied with iron chains, was escorted to Xue Mei in a panic. Xue Mei waved her hand, and a stream of spiritual power shot into the gray-robed man's body. The skin on the gray-robed man's face moved rapidly, and in a breath he returned to his original appearance.

Xue Mei glanced at his true face and said coldly: "Tell me, where is your accomplice who robbed my Wanbao Auction House's Juling Pill now? If you tell me, I will consider giving you a lighter punishment. Otherwise, you can neither live nor die!"

The foundation-building cultivator who went to hunt down that person has not returned yet. It is very likely that he will not be able to catch him. Since these two dared to steal things from Wanbao Auction House, they must have thought of a way out.

The gray-robed man snorted coldly: "Light punishment? You think I am a three-year-old child. Don't you know that those who robbed the items of Wanbao Auction House were all executed without exception. If I don't confess, I will be the only one who dies. If I confess, two people will die. No matter how you look at it, confessing is a losing business."

Xuemei sneered and said: "Do you think you are very smart? When I say a lighter punishment, I don't mean to absolve you of the death penalty. I mean to make you suffer less while you are alive. It doesn't matter if you don't confess now. After all, many people just He refused to confess at the beginning.”

The man in gray robe was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Xuemei stared into the gray-robed man's eyes and said, "What? Didn't the person who sent you tell you what would happen if you fell into my hands?"

The man in gray robe turned his head unnaturally, avoiding Xuemei's eyes and said, "I don't know what you mean, no one sent me here."

Xue Mei sneered and said in a voice that only the gray-robed man could hear: "Don't worry, I didn't mean to ask you who the person behind the scenes is. After all, you don't have to think about it. You already know who it is. They demoted me from the headquarters." Pingsha City was still worried, and sent someone to steal the two final products from me. Didn't he just want to punish me for dereliction of duty? "

"You must have made up your mind to die before taking action, but do you think you can really survive the punishment at Wanbao Auction House?"

After saying this, Xuemei took off the storage bag from the waist of the gray-robed man and ordered people to take the gray-robed man down.

Xuemei took out the Sanyang Purple Gold Soul-Breaking Bell that had been put into the storage bag, and re-auctioned it. Finally, it was bought by the elders of the Lin Family Fort at a terrifying price of 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
