The scene remained as it was, and the monk was surprised when he saw the deep pit.
Judging from the depth of the pit and the surrounding conditions, the power of this attack was extremely astonishing, even exceeding the power of an ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
His figure flashed and he came to the deep pit. He tapped the storage bag and a jade ruler appeared in his hand.
He used the jade ruler to tap the deep pit and its surroundings, but the ruler did not respond at all, which made him frown and his eyes showed confusion.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what have you found?" asked the female monk.
"Strange, there is not a single spiritual energy left after this attack!" The male monk looked at the jade ruler and replied uncertainly.
Although there are powerful martial artists in the secular world, unless they reach the innate level, they can be easily dealt with in the eyes of cultivators.
Even if an innate warrior is able to threaten a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, he can only do so by launching a surprise attack and possibly severely injuring the cultivator by surprise.
As long as the Qi Refining cultivators are prepared and both sides keep a certain distance from each other, the innate warriors will not be able to threaten the Qi Refining cultivators.
"Could it be the work of an innate warrior?" the female monk asked and offered her opinion.
"No, although the power of this attack is great, it is scattered and not real. It is definitely not the attack of an innate warrior!" The male cultivator had more experience and replied with certainty.
The reason why innate warriors can threaten Qi-refining cultivators is that the attacks of innate warriors can gather the innate Qi at one point, thus breaking through the defense of the Qi-refining cultivator.
This is exactly the manifestation of the innate warrior's control over his own innate power. After all, a warrior is a warrior, and there is not so much innate power to waste.
If an innate warrior made such an attack, the amount of innate energy in his body would be so abundant that it would almost be terrifying. At least the male cultivators had never heard of such an innate warrior appearing.
The power of this attack exceeded that of the late stage of Qi Refining. Judging from the form of its performance, it was more likely to be done by a cultivator.
But the problem is that no matter whether he uses powerful talismans or powerful spells, even after several days, the magic items in his hands can still detect traces of spiritual energy remaining at the scene.
The monk recorded the situation on the scene in detail, which needed to be archived. He would use this information to complete the task.
"Prefect Li, please prepare a place for us two. We will be staying in Nanling City for a while. It would be best if the place is close to here. I need to come over and do more inspections!" After finishing everything, the male cultivator turned to Li Wenyuan and said.
Originally, the mission this time was very simple. A cultivator who was causing trouble in the secular world would not be too strong.
The secular world is short of spiritual energy, and ordinary cultivators avoid it. Unless there is a need, no cultivator is willing to stay in the secular world for a long time.
The two monks who were in the middle stage of Qi Refining accepted the task, but they found out upon arrival that the monk who caused the trouble was already dead. This time the task became to investigate the incident and find out who killed the monk.
If I take the records in my hand back now, they will definitely not be approved. Even the male monks will not believe what I have recorded unless they have investigated on the spot.
"There are two guest houses in the mansion. If you two don't mind, you can live there!" Li Wenyuan said with a smile.
"Okay!" The male monk nodded without any hesitation.
Li Wenyuan heaved a sigh of relief after asking someone to send the two monks to the guest house.
"Father, how come a cultivator would come here? Was he sent from Zhongdu?" Li Shiming asked curiously.
"They hold the imperial order in their hands, but there is no relevant official correspondence with Zhongdu!" Li Wenyuan replied softly.
Daxia's rule was very mature. Usually, they would send people over with official documents in addition to the certification documents in hand.
However, thinking that the two were cultivators and the imperial orders in their hands were not fake, Li Wenyuan could only receive them. At the same time, he also sent an inquiry letter to Zhongdu.
"I think they have no ill intentions!" Li Shiming consoled.
Although the two monks were arrogant, they were still polite, which showed that they were not bad people, at least not like the monk who killed thirty-five people in a row.
Li Shiming felt helpless as well. This feeling of powerlessness in the face of a powerful existence made him want to possess power.
Senior Brother Zhao and Junior Sister Zheng came to the guest house, which were adjacent to each other.
"Junior Sister Zheng, the cultivator who appeared this time is stronger than us. We cannot act separately during this period!" Senior Brother Zhao said seriously.
"Follow Brother Zhao's instructions!" Junior Sister Zheng replied with a chuckle.
Senior Brother Zhao took out a formation plate that looked like a compass. With the spiritual energy activated, the formation plate emitted a white light that spread and covered the two courtyards.
The two monks are not dual cultivation partners and will not live together unless conditions permit.
No matter how good the relationship between monks is, they need to keep their distance for the sake of each other's safety.
Monks need to concentrate their minds when practicing, and they have almost no defense ability during the practice.
No monk would expose himself to other monks like this and put his safety in the hands of others.
Of course, Senior Brother Zhao brought Junior Sister Zheng with him on the mission. He was stronger and more wealthy, so he contributed more and set up defensive formations for the two courtyards.
Junior Sister Zheng came into the room and took out a talisman from her storage bag. After activating it with spiritual energy, it emitted a red light that fell on the doors and windows.
Anyone who touches the doors and windows from the outside will be activated to warn her.
Junior Sister Zheng's wealth is far less than that of Senior Brother Zhao, and she is under his protection, so she tries to save as much as possible.
Of course, she saves on defense, but she will not save at all on cultivation.
Most of her wealth was spent on cultivation. She took out a round disc from her storage bag and took out four spirit stones and placed them in the disc.
She sent out a stream of spiritual power, and the disc was activated. The spiritual energy in the four spiritual stones surged out, and the disc lit up with complex patterns of the abyss.
Junior Sister Zheng sat on the disc, feeling the spiritual energy around her, a satisfied smile on her face.
Different from those cultivators who constantly enhanced their attack capabilities, Junior Sister Zheng saved spirit stones for many years and exchanged them for this spirit gathering plate, just to speed up her cultivation and stand out from her peers.
Brother Zhao on the other side came into the room, sensed the spiritual energy around him, and reluctantly took a spirit stone in his hand.
"We should find the clues quickly and go back as soon as possible. The training environment here is too bad!" Senior Brother Zhao muttered to himself.
The next day, Senior Brother Zhao and Junior Sister Zheng checked everywhere in Nanling City, but did not find any trace of cultivators. They planned to stay for another day and return if they still found nothing.
