Chen Xiao smiled confidently, "Shan Li often goes out, and since he can't take valuables with him, he must have kept them in a safe place. Previous investigations show that he has no friends and lives alone. I think he doesn't trust others, and it's even more impossible for him to hide things in places he doesn't often go. Therefore, the materials he has collected must be hidden in his own home."
Chen Ziyi admitted that what he said made sense, "But even if that's the case, there's no news that his stuff is hidden at home."
Chen Xiao said: "He doesn't have any protective measures at home, so of course it's impossible for them to be placed in the open."
Xi Yunting thought back to the house he saw yesterday and said sharply, "Are you saying that there is a secret room or a hidden compartment in his house?"
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "This secret room is not an ordinary secret room. This kind of secret room can be easily discovered by the immortal cultivators' spiritual sense. Shan Li is very smart. He used the structure of the house to create a clever illusion and hide a part of the space. Even if this part of the space is scanned by the spiritual sense, it will feel like a useless corner, avoiding the risk of being discovered directly."
We have to be thankful that there are no sophisticated people among this group of immortal cultivators, and they are not good at the field of reconnaissance.
Chen Xiao’s observation skills are actually very average, but he has seen so many houses that he can tell if there is anything wrong with the structure or space.
They didn't say anything at the time because they were not sure. Another reason was that if they were discovered demolishing the house in broad daylight, it would definitely attract other competitors.
At that time, there were only him and Xi Yunting, and he was afraid of being at a disadvantage if they fought.
Tong Nuonuo rubbed his hands excitedly, "What are we waiting for? Let's go over there and get those materials out!"
Tang Ru stopped him, "Wait, we can't just go there like this, we'll become the target of public criticism."
Chen Ziyi also agreed: "Yes, if Master Chen's discovery is correct, the materials are hidden there, and those in the city who can't find the clues will definitely flock there."
Taoist Zhenlu said: "It's a pity that time is tight, otherwise it would be best to wait until the people in the city have dispersed before digging out the things."
Tong Nuonuo said: "Among the missing refiners, there might be the one who was commissioned by Dan Li. We are already behind now, time waits for no one!"
Xi Yunting suggested: "Why not create some false news to lure people out of the city, and then take the things out under the cover of night, and then we will meet up in another place."
Chen Xiao said: "This is a good idea!"
Chen Ziyi made a prompt decision and said, "Leave the matter of spreading the news to me. I know the faces of my people and know how to make the news sound realistic."
Tang Ru looked around and said, "Then let's decide on a place to meet up first, so that if we get separated, we can reunite."
Chen Ziyi hadn't rested all night, and now he didn't even have time to take a nap. He went out again to find someone to set up the arrangements.
In order to make it look like they were doing something, the few people were still divided into two groups that day, and went around the city to ask for information.
Without Chen Ziyi as their spy, Chen Xiao and his companions became much slower in Green Water City. It was not until the evening when they returned to the inn that they realized that half of the foreign cultivators were missing.
Tong Nuonuo took Tang Ru out to find someone to ask, and found out that the cultivator who witnessed Shan Li's last visit was found in a town near the Evil Domain Guangji Fortress.
This story was spread with details and if a few people didn't know the truth, they would probably believe it.
After dinner in the evening, they each went back to play and rested until the early morning, then they quietly left and went to where Shanli lived.
Xi Yunting and Tang Ru were in charge of the alert, while Chen Xiao, Tong Nuonuo and Zhenlu Taoist jumped into the single courtyard together.
"Where is that place?" Tong Nuonuo asked Chen Xiao via voice transmission.
Chen Xiao did not say anything and walked towards the backyard first. The structure of Danli's home was relatively simple, with a main hall for entertaining guests, a bedroom for living, a meditation room, a utility room for storing sundries, a clean room for bathing, a toilet and a small kitchen.
The thing was hidden in the overlapping and intersecting part of the outer walls of the clean room and the utility room, a very inconspicuous place.
Chen Xiao raised his hand and touched the wall, and found that this wall was built later.
Chen Xiao gestured to Tong Nonuo that this was the place. Tong Nonuo used his true energy to strike and made a hole in the wall.
Although he was very careful, he still couldn't avoid making noises.
Tong Nuonuo held his breath to avoid inhaling dust.
Taoist Zhenlu used his spiritual sense to probe inside and found that there was nothing inside. He looked at Chen Xiao in confusion, seeming very puzzled.
Chen Xiao didn't look at him, but just reached his hand in to explore. After a moment, he took out a bag of unknown material.
Taoist Zhenlu was surprised and delighted. He reached out his hand and touched the bag, saying, "It is actually the capsule of a giant lizard. This is a material that can block spiritual consciousness. It is very rare and precious."
Tong Nuonuo suddenly realized: "No wonder it has been hidden here without being discovered."
Chen Xiao opened the bag and looked inside. The bag was not big, and there were not many materials inside. In the dim light, he could only confirm that there were three or four items inside.
"Okay, let's go." Chen Xiao put away the bag and put it into the storage box.
After successfully getting the things, Chen Xiao and the others jumped out from the yard again. It was late at night and Green Water City was particularly quiet. The slightest noise could be heard far away, so he had to move very lightly.
Xi Yunting was guarding this direction. He stood on the street in front of the door and turned to look at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao nodded gently at him, "Let's go."
His voice was very soft, just slightly louder than a breath, and almost inaudible in the darkness.
But just as he finished speaking, another voice rang out: "Where do you want to go? It's so late, and you are all gathered here. Did you find something important? I'm very interested. Can you borrow it to take a look?"
Taoist Zhenlu's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Min Juren, why are you here?"
On the roof of the house opposite, a figure changed from a faint shadow to a solid entity.
He was a tall man with raised eyebrows, slightly drooping eyes, and lips curved in a half-smile.
He has a good-looking face, but his expression at this moment gives people a hostile feeling.
He said with a cold tone, "I came here with you. I saw you guys coming here to investigate the other day, and I knew you would take some action. It turned out to be just as I expected!"
Taoist Zhenlu squeezed out a voice and said, "Min Zhijian, why do you have to be so sneaky? I respect you as a practitioner in the Out-of-Body Stage, please don't ignore your reputation and go too far! If you still resent me for refusing to forge a sword for you, I can solemnly apologize to you, and I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me for my embarrassment."
Zhijian Min Juren is a casual cultivator. Although he has an extreme and stubborn personality, he also cares a lot about his reputation. Taoist Zhenlu's words almost said that he is narrow-minded and is resentful because of the previous unpleasantness.
Although this is indeed the case, he is unwilling to make it public.
Min Juren's eyes turned colder, and he said, "I hope you misunderstood me. It's just a trivial matter, and I don't care about it anymore. This time, I came here for the Broken Star Sand. We all have the same goal, so it's inevitable that you will fight for it. This is the norm in the world of immortal cultivation. I know it, right?"
Taoist Zhenlu almost broke his teeth. He didn't believe that the Min people really needed the Broken Star Sand. It was just an excuse to find trouble.
The Min people did not control the volume, and the sound of both parties talking caused the dogs of nearby residents to bark loudly.
Chen Xiao frowned, and immediately realized that the other party had bad intentions. He clearly wanted to lure the immortal cultivators who were still in Green Water City.
These people are trying their best to find clues about the Broken Star Sand. If they are seen here and the Minju people deliberately spread the news that they have found something here, all their efforts to lead people away will be in vain!
Xi Yunting's mind turned more and faster. He summoned the brand new Xuefeng and demonstrated a sword move. "In this case, let's stop talking nonsense and please teach me!"
Tang Ru didn't say anything and directly took out the poison spirit bead and pounced towards the Min Ju people.
When Min Juren saw the sword in Xi Yunting's hand, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
The humiliation of being rejected on the spot, Xi Yunting's indifferent eyes at that time, the door that closed in front of him after Zhu Xuan invited Xi Yunting in... all the scenes flashed before his eyes quickly. At that time, his body and face were full of heat, but his heart was colder than ice.
Yes! He was Xi Yunting, whose family background was not as good as that of the top immortal sect. Did he deserve to be looked down upon by Taoist Zhenlu as an unknown casual cultivator? Xi Yunting, who looked at him coldly, was hateful, and Zhu Xuan, who humiliated him, was even more damnable!
"Haha, good job!" Two small hidden swords flew out of Min Juren's sleeves, and the pheasants carved on the hilts were lifelike.
He obtained this pair of pheasant swords after enduring many hardships, escaping many dangers, and risking half his life.
Today, he will use this pair of pheasant swords to kill his enemies, make Xi Yunting beg for mercy, and make Zhu Xuan regret it!
Min Juren was full of confidence. As a cultivator in the out-of-body stage, he could easily defeat two Nascent Souls with ease.
It’s a pity that he didn’t know that Xi Yunting had just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and fought to the death with an evil cultivator who stood still and acted as a meat shield, otherwise he would definitely not be so conceited.
Not to mention how rare and difficult to deal with Tang Ru's poisonous spiritual root is, just that poisonous spiritual bead is enough to make him suffer.
The battle broke out here, and the immortal cultivators who heard the news rushed over.
Chen Xiao made a prompt decision and shouted to Taoist Zhenlu: "Let's go!"
According to the previous plan, Tong Nuonuo rushed over and pulled Zhenlu Taoist. Zhenlu Taoist used a protective shield to cover the two of them, and the three of them quickly retreated out of the city.
Although Tong Nuonuo was only at the foundation-building stage, as a master of mechanical devices, the mechanical devices he created could fly fast and steadily, and it was effortless for him to carry a person. Taoist Zhenlu's skills were not based on physical skills, but his defensiveness was not bad. The cooperation of the two could achieve the greatest performance.
Luck is attached to Xi Yunting's sword, and after ten years, its attack capability has become more and more powerful.
The Min people were too arrogant for a moment, and the two swords collided with each other without any pretense, and it turned out that they were evenly matched.
If there were only two sword cultivators fighting, Xi Yunting would have a hard time coping due to the suppression of their realm, but there happened to be Tang Ru waiting for an opportunity to strike next to them. Min Juren had to suffer a loss and was in great pain.
