Chapter 225 Lockdown
There were still some surviving disciples in the Hehuan Sect. These surviving disciples were those who had just returned to the sect. After seeing the tragic situation in the sect, they immediately reported it to the Xianglong Sect.
This old man was the real leader of the Hehuan Sect and also the third elder of the Xianglong Sect. After learning the news of the destruction of the Hehuan Sect, he rushed over without stopping.
After the man in black left, the old man's mood gradually calmed down, "There is no one within a radius of tens of millions of miles who doesn't know that the Hehuan Sect is under my protection."
"Although Xumi Sect and Huanling Sect are at odds with our Xianglong Sect, there has been no friction in recent years, let alone conflicts of interest. Could it be that their cultivators came to destroy the Hehuan Sect?"
"If this person is not afraid of the Xianglong Sect, he will definitely act in a high-profile manner after destroying the Hehuan Sect, but he did not... This person must be afraid of the Xianglong Sect."
"Humph! If I catch you, I will definitely tear your tendons and skin you alive!"
The old man integrated the remaining disciples of the Hehuan Sect together. The highest cultivation level of these disciples was only the Mahayana stage, which was really not good enough.
"It seems that I have to train a new group of people to manage the Hehuan Sect..." the old man thought secretly in his heart.
Two hours later, a man in black appeared in front of the old man. "Third Elder, we have a clue. We found people selling Hehuan Sect's mental skills and Hehuan Powder in several chambers of commerce in Lingxiao City. The appearance of these things is too strange. They all appeared this morning, which coincides with the time when the Hehuan Sect was destroyed."
The old man frowned slightly, "Does the Chamber of Commerce know the identity of this person?"
"This person is very cautious. The testimonies of the receptionists of every chamber of commerce are almost the same. They say that she is a female cultivator, with her face covered, wearing white clothes, and has a pure and elegant temperament. The rest is unclear." The man in black replied respectfully.
The old man thought to himself, "Is this person so careless? Or is he doing it on purpose?"
"Knowing that we would target you if you destroyed the Hehuan Sect, you still sold out the Hehuan Sect's mental method and Hehuan Powder at this critical moment... Could it be that you are in urgent need of money?"
"Pass my order to seal off Lingxiao City. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
“Third Elder, if we seal off the city, it will be difficult to explain to the Lord of Lingxiao City…” the man in black said embarrassment.
"Give this to the Lord of Lingxiao City and tell him that it's a small token of my appreciation. Just seal off the city for one day."
"Yes!" The man in black took the storage ring from the old man and immediately rushed towards Lingxiao City.
After the old man arranged the remaining disciples of the Hehuan Sect, he also rushed towards Lingxiao City.
When it comes to the destruction of the Hehuan Sect, the happiest ones would be the Huanling Sect and the Xumi Sect.
They also sent people to the vicinity of the Hehuan Sect, one to find out who destroyed the Hehuan Sect, and the other to muddy the waters and do something bad to the Xianglong Sect in secret.
…….
In front of Lingxiao City.
The entrances and exits of the entire city were blocked by men in black, and many people who wanted to leave the city were blocked at the city gates.
“Why is the city closed?”
"The people who sealed the city are from the Xianglong Sect, right? Did the Lord of Lingxiao City allow them to seal the city?"
"Didn't they say that the people of the Xianglong Sect were looking for the murderer who destroyed the Hehuan Sect? Could it be that the murderer is in Lingxiao City?"
"I just want to know how long the city will be closed. I have to go back to the sect!"
"Me too! I have to go to the Purple Moon City next door for a blind date! Now that the city is sealed off, even the teleportation array is not allowed to be used tomorrow. I will be late for my blind date."
“…”
The closure of the city caused unrest in the entire Lingxiao City. Ning Ruoxi had naturally heard the rumors, and she planned to wait and see what would happen.
You have to know that there are hundreds of thousands of cultivators in Lingxiao City, how could they possibly compromise on sealing off the city?
Moreover, the Lord of Lingxiao City works for the government, so why would he help the Xianglong Sect to seal off the city? Many cultivators planned to report the matter to the imperial capital of the dynasty.
"Why won't you let me leave the city?" A young man who looked like a scholar asked angrily to the man in black at the city gate.
The man in black had a cold expression on his face, releasing the aura of a human fairyland. "Back off, or don't blame me for being rude!"
The scholar was not willing to be outdone and also released his cultivation of the human fairyland.
The human fairyland can definitely be said to be the strongest in Lingxiao City.
Just as the scholar was about to speak, a giant palm shadow fell from the sky and slapped the scholar.
The scholar offered no resistance and was instantly suppressed to death.
The strong man in the human fairyland died so easily.
The old man's figure appeared above the scholar's body like a ghost. His captivating eyes swept over those who were grumbling about leaving the city, and the aura of the late Heavenly Immortal Realm was faintly visible on his body.
"I am the third elder of the Xianglong Sect. Who else wants to leave the city?"
No one dared to say a word. Even the cultivators in the Human Immortal Realm were not strong enough for the old man to kill with one palm. Other cultivators with lower cultivation than the Human Immortal Realm dared not speak louder.
"Seal off the city... Do they know I'm in Lingxiao City?" Ning Ruoxi did not act rashly. If she caused trouble again at this time, she would definitely be killed.
He killed the scholar from the fairyland without hesitation, and did not even investigate the background of the scholar. It was obvious that he intended to solve the problem with thundering means.
When the old man saw that everyone had quieted down, he began to use his spiritual sense to search all the female cultivators in the room.
Ning Ruoxi was lurking silently in the room of the inn. Thanks to the effect of the Tianji Pearl, as long as the old man didn't see her, his spiritual sense couldn't detect her breath.
"The city can't be sealed off forever. After all, Lingxiao City belongs to the government..." Ning Ruoxi decided to wait until the city closure was over before leaving openly.
The day passed quickly.
The old man couldn't help but start to worry, "Could it be that the female cultivator has already left the city after selling her things at the Chamber of Commerce?"
There are many female cultivators in Lingxiao City, but the information they provide does not match that given by the men in black.
The highest level of cultivation of these female cultivators is no more than the Tribulation Crossing Stage. The old man does not believe that cultivators who have crossed the Tribulation Crossing Stage can destroy the Hehuan Sect. If this is true, then all the years of cultivation of Bai Hui and Shen Baixuan would have been in vain.
Furthermore, the temperament of these female cultivators does not match the Qingchen mentioned by the man in black.
"Send some people to search outside the city, and the rest continue to search inside the city!" The old man gave orders to the men in black again.
After the city blockade was lifted, the teleportation array could be used again.
Ning Ruoxi went to the teleportation array as soon as possible. After paying enough spirit stones to the array master, the array master began to set up the array. He was a ninth-level array master.
There were seven other cultivators traveling with Ning Ruoxi, and their destination was the same as Ning Ruoxi's.
Everyone waited quietly in the teleportation formation.
The arrangement of the teleportation formation was relatively slow. It took the formation master about an hour to complete the arrangement. The next step was to place the spirit stones to activate the formation.
"Wait, routine check!" A man in black suddenly stopped the formation master.
The formation master stopped what he was doing upon hearing this.
The man in black used his spiritual sense to scan Ning Ruoxi and others in the formation, and soon, he discovered something was wrong.
Ning Ruoxi was clearly there, but her consciousness couldn't detect her...
