As long as a person is alive, the soul lamp is on.
Once a person dies, the soul lamp will automatically go out.
Many large families and sects have this kind of soul lamp.
And now, the soul lamp belonging to the man with gold-rimmed glasses suddenly went out without any warning.
There are always servants watching over the ancestral hall. On the one hand, they clean and keep it spotlessly clean, and on the other hand, they watch the changes of each soul lamp.
If the soul lamp is burning normally, it means there is no problem and the person is alive and well.
When the soul lamp begins to sway from side to side, it means that the owner is in danger.
When the soul lamp flickers, it means that the owner is in a life-threatening situation.
And now, the soul lamp of the man with gold-rimmed glasses went out, which means he is dead!
Bang!
The servant in charge of guarding the ancestral hall was cleaning with a feather duster.
Suddenly he saw a soul lamp go out, and he was so frightened that the feather duster in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.
After a while, he rushed out of the ancestral hall and shouted, "Oh no! Oh no! The young master's soul lamp has gone out!"
In an instant, everyone in the Li Mansion was alarmed.
The guild's house was soon alarmed because it was right next to Li's house.
Chen Xuan, who was rummaging through the drawers in the study, had sharp ears and eyes, so he naturally noticed the movement outside.
This gave him a shock, but luckily he had already cleaned out most of the things in the study.
After taking a look at the body of the man with gold-rimmed glasses, Chen Xuan did not hesitate and directly put his body into the storage bag.
The reason why living people cannot be put into the space storage bag is because there is no air inside, and if people are put in, they will suffocate to death.
But there is no such concern for corpses.
After taking his body in, Chen Xuan immediately put on a human skin mask and quietly left the study.
It was quite thrilling. He had just left the study when a powerful martial arts master and his men rushed in.
When he opened the study, he saw that it was in a mess, but there was no one in sight. He knew that the murderer must have escaped.
"Pass the order down, seal off the entire Chi City immediately, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Even if I have to turn the entire Chi City upside down, I will catch the murderer!"
The angry roar spread throughout the mansion.
Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to leave. In his opinion, he always believed in one truth: the most dangerous place is the safest place.
So he was still staying in the guild's house, and he saw guards and servants constantly moving back and forth in a hurry.
Chen Xuan also disguised himself as a servant, pretending to be very busy, helping to catch the murderer.
Of course, he couldn't stay here for long.
After all, the servants here all know each other.
Since it was late at night and dark, no one could see clearly, and everyone was busy looking for the murderer, so they didn't notice him.
But once the day breaks, it’s hard to say.
So he planned to sneak out of the city during the chaos.
Unfortunately, the Li family had greater power. With one order, the gates of Chicheng were closed directly. The entire city was on alert and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
There are only two Martial Saints in the city, one is the city lord and the other is the head of the Li family.
And now that the young master of the Li family has been killed, the city lord will naturally give this face and block the city gates.
"Oh no, it's hard to get out now."
Chen Xuan thought to himself that this was not good and prepared to think of other ways to escape.
At this moment, someone suggested that the murderer was very likely to have escaped from Chicheng. If that person was really not in Chicheng, wouldn't the murderer be at large?
Therefore, it is better to send some people to chase!
Bring back any suspects for interrogation!
The proposal was quickly accepted.
The Li family sent three martial masters, accompanied by dozens of family servants and servants from the guild, out of the city to search.
At the same time, the city lord also provided help and sent out three martial arts generals with dozens of soldiers to go out of the city to arrest people. They would rather arrest a thousand by mistake than let a single one go!
The rest of the people searched house to house in the city!
And Chen Xuan took advantage of the situation and mixed into the team that was leaving the city to arrest people.
After leaving the city, the soldiers were divided into six groups and chased in six directions. Anyone who was seen riding a horse on the official road in the middle of the night would be interrogated!
Chen Xuan followed a martial arts master named Li Cheng. There were thirteen people in their team.
Immediately, Chen Xuan hesitated whether to give it a try. Could he kill Wu Zun?
After all, Wu Zun is right in front of him now. If he focuses on the back of his head and launches a sneak attack, he might have a chance of success!
But after thinking about it, I decided not to take the risk.
After all, he had never fought against a real martial arts master.
Moreover, he didn't know what level of martial arts master the one in front of him was.
If he is a first-level Martial Honored One, there is a certain chance of success if he launches a sneak attack.
If it is the second level of Martial Honor, then the chance of success will be much lower. If you get yourself involved, it will be a big loss.
"Your Excellency, there is a fork in the road ahead!"
As they were riding their horses, they came to a fork in the road.
"A few of you, go over there and take a look. The rest of you, follow me over here! We'll meet up here in an hour!"
The martial arts master said with a stern expression.
"yes!"
The people he pointed at immediately pulled the reins and ran in the other direction.
Originally, Chen Xuan was not being pointed at, but he pretended that he was being pointed at and pulled the reins to run to the other side.
He definitely couldn't follow this Martial Master anymore. If he did, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Besides, he is just pretending to be stupid now.
If this Martial Master didn't call him, he would just run away.
If you shout, just come back yourself.
It is worth mentioning that this Wu Zun is from the Li family, and Chen Xuan is wearing the clothes of a servant in the guild.
The people of the Li family must know the servants of the Li family, but he could not recognize all the servants of the guild, so he did not find any problem with Chen Xuan at all.
When he saw Chen Xuan, who was not pointed at by him, riding horses from the fork in the road with the people he pointed at to chase after them, he just frowned but didn't think much about it.
After all, in his opinion, the murderer must be fleeing desperately!
Little did he know that Chen Xuan was so bold that he played a trick on him!
"Walk!"
As soon as the martial master pulled the reins, the rest of the people followed him and rode away in the other direction.
On the tree-lined path, including Chen Xuan, there were a total of six people galloping on horseback.
Four of them were from the guild, and two were from the Li Mansion.
These people are all Martial Emperors.
In the Origin Continent, the saying that Martial Emperors are as numerous as dogs is not an empty statement.
Only the Martial Emperor is qualified to be a servant.
As for those martial kings and martial masters, they can only work as small vendors or waiters serving tea and water.
