"What did you say, Old Seven is dead?"
"Qilang's soul lamp is indeed extinguished."
"Who dares to be so audacious?"
"Leave the customs, leave immediately!"
"We must capture him and use his soul to offer sacrifice to the Seventh Elder!"
After hearing the words of the old man in black robe, those powerful beings immediately began to sense it, and found that Gongshu Lian’s soul lamp was really extinguished, and they all became furious.
Because the seventh brother has not been able to break through, his life span is running out, and his energy and spirit are weakening year by year. In order to maintain his cultivation, he has not even separated his spirit and soul.
Now that the soul lamp is out, it means that you are truly dead and there is no chance of resurrection.
One can imagine the anger in the hearts of these powerful Yuanshen of Gongshu family.
Immediately, many powerful auras revived from the inner city, rising up and rushing towards the outer city.
Such a commotion naturally alarmed other powerful people in Zhoutian City.
Especially in the outer city, the strong men from the forces affiliated with the Gongshu family were shocked.
"What happened? Why did the ancestors come out of seclusion?"
"Someone is trying to assassinate the master's powerful spirit. Who is it?"
"The entire city defense formation is activated. Has the assassin not been caught yet?"
"Hurry up and get out! If you can help the ancestors catch the assassin, it will be a great achievement!"
All of a sudden, many Yuanshen realm cultivators in the outer city also took action, wanting to assist the ancestors in capturing the assassin.
As for the Jindan realm, I dare not do so.
They had all heard clearly before that the assassin had killed the Yuanshen ancestor of the Gongshu family. Facing such a terrifying existence, going there at the Jindan realm would be no different from committing suicide.
Although the merit is good, you have to be alive to get it.
"Old Four, we're almost there. Did you catch that thief?"
As the base camp of the Gongshu family, Zhoutian City is very vast. Even a powerful soul cannot cross it in a short period of time.
Otherwise, Lu Qing would not have spent nearly half a year to figure out the formation here even though he had supernatural powers.
From the time Lu Qing killed Gongshu Lian and escaped, to the time the black-robed old man appeared, and then to the time he awakened the many ancestors in the inner city, only twenty or thirty breaths of time had passed.
It has been less than ten breaths since the ancestors of the Gongshu family revived. This time is not enough for them to arrive so quickly.
"That guy is very cunning. He has been using buildings to block my view. But I have already locked onto his presence. He can't escape... How is that possible!"
The old man in black robe was flying over Zhoutian City and replied confidently.
He could actually be faster and catch up with the assassin, but he was still a little afraid when he thought that the other party could kill Lao Qi in an instant.
So I decided to wait for help to come and capture him together.
However, before he could finish his answer, his eyes suddenly widened and he let out a cry of surprise.
The body suddenly accelerated and arrived at an area in front, with the power of the soul covering all directions.
However, no matter how he searched, he could no longer find the faint breath.
"Old Four, what's wrong? Where's the assassin?"
At this moment, more than ten figures suddenly descended and came to the side of the old man in black robe.
"How strange! I had clearly locked onto the assassin's aura just now, but just now, his aura suddenly disappeared and I could no longer sense it."
The old man in black robe said with a somewhat grim expression.
"He disappeared. Could it be that he escaped from the city?" a figure asked.
"Impossible! I've already activated the city defense formation. No one can escape without my permission! Besides, I didn't sense any fluctuations in the formation."
The black-robed figure said seriously.
"That means he's still in the city, perhaps using a magic weapon to conceal his presence."
Another old man with white hair and youthful face said coldly: "Do you think you can escape just by using magic weapon to conceal your aura?
Fourth Brother, please tell us the breath of the assassin you just sensed.
"Big Boss, second brother, you and I will work together to activate the formation and search the entire outer city. Even if he uses a spiritual weapon to conceal his presence, he will not be able to escape the Zhoutian Star Formation's search!"
"Yes, father!"
The other two figures with extremely powerful auras responded in unison.
The old man in black robe first simulated a breath according to what he had sensed before and passed it to his father and elder and second brothers.
Then very quickly, under the leadership of the old man with white hair and a youthful face, the three great spiritual masters cast a series of spells and landed on the ground below.
The next moment, the formation of the entire outer city suddenly started to work.
The powerful force of the formation ignored any obstacles and began to search the entire outer city inch by inch.
The first place they searched was the location where the assassin's aura had disappeared, which the old man in black robe had just sensed.
Let them have no surprises, there is nothing to be gained there.
However, they were not discouraged and continued to search other locations.
The powerful men from all the large and small forces in the outer city naturally also felt the terrifying fluctuations of the formation.
But they did not dare to express any dissatisfaction, and even stayed where they were cautiously, allowing the fluctuations of the formation to sweep over them, not daring to resist at all.
Because they knew that it was Gongshujia's ancestors who were searching for the assassin.
If I am not careful and the ancestors think I have some connection with the assassin, I will be unable to explain myself and will be in great trouble.
"Did they really use the Zhoutian Star Formation?"
Just as the ancestors of the Gongshu family were activating the formation to search.
In a hidden corner more than ten miles away from them, Lu Qing's figure slowly emerged.
He could feel that the outer city part of the entire Zhoutian Star Array had started to operate.
"Want to use the Zhoutian Star Array to find my location?"
A smile appeared on Lu Qing's face, and the aura on his body was ethereal and had long been integrated into the entire formation.
Even if the power of the formation swept across his body, there would be no reaction, and he would only be regarded as a part of the formation.
Now Lu Qing’s understanding of the outer city formation is even better than that of the ancestors of the Gongshu family.
In addition, the perfect golden elixir is invisible and formless, and can transform into any breath at any time.
How could they possibly find his trace?
"But this is an opportunity."
After looking calmly at the more than ten powerful figures in the sky, Lu Qing turned his gaze towards the inner city.
The reason why he acted so high-profile and killed Gongshu Lian in the street was to attract the attention of the powerful Yuanshen of the Gongshu family in the inner city.
Otherwise, he could have waited for Gongshu Lian to enter Mengyun Tower for pleasure and then assassinated him quietly.
With his current strength, it is very possible for him to achieve this.
Now, as he deliberately made things worse, the ancestors of the Gongshu family were indeed furious and came out together.
At present, even if there are still experts in the inner city, there must not be many of them. It is the most empty time.
Lu Qing's figure moved silently.
There are many buildings in Zhoutian City, so it is not difficult to hide them from the sight of the ancestors of the Gongshu family.
What's more, he had already used the secret technique of invisibility to distort the light around him and hide his figure.
As for the soul's perception, it was impossible for Lu Qing, who had completely integrated his own aura into the Zhoutian Star Array, to be sensed.
Just like that, Lu Qing turned into a shadow and moved quickly in the city. Soon, he arrived at the inner city.
This place is quite far away from the location of the more than ten ancestors of the Gongshu family.
Looking at the towering inner city walls and the light curtain of the formation emitting powerful fluctuations, Lu Qing did not hesitate. He turned into a transparent shadow and flew straight forward.
When his body touched the light curtain, it was like a drop of water merging into the sea. Without causing any ripples, he passed through the light curtain silently and entered the inner city.
Over the past month, Lu Qing has been familiar with the protective formation on the city wall through continuous downloading, copying and contemplation.
Getting in is easy.
After entering the inner city, the scene is completely different from that of the outer city.
There are no prosperous buildings inside, but rather beautiful mountains filled with spiritual energy, nourished by flowing clouds and waterfalls, and surrounded by cranes and flying birds.
There are many elegant buildings on top of each mountain, just like a fairyland.
If you watch from the air, you can even see it.
These beautiful mountains, like stars in the sky, are arranged in some mysterious formation.
In fact, Lu Qing did the same.
He concealed his body and hid silently in a floating cloud, activated his special ability, and looked at the distribution of mountains below.
With his attainments in formation, he could easily see that the distribution of the spiritual peaks in the inner city was exactly according to the positions of the stars in the sky.
He has downloaded and copied 70% of the formations in Zhoutian City, and has comprehended and mastered them.
The most important 30% are probably in these mountains and spiritual peaks.
Lu Qing activated his special ability and stared at the mountains and rivers below for a while. When he saw the message appearing in his field of vision, he felt a little happy.
Without hesitation, he chose to download immediately.
【…Download completed, do you want to start simulation?】
After seeing the information provided by the supernatural power, Lu Qing did not choose to simulate this time.
Time is limited, and the more than ten ancestors of the Gongshu family may come back at any time, so he has to act quickly.
Anyway, the formation has been downloaded, and it will be the same when I go back and simulate and comprehend it.
So after Lu Qing identified the terrain, he descended and headed in one direction.
Over the past six months, Lu Qing has not only been comprehending the formation, he has also long since figured out Qiao Rong's location.
You know, the population living in the outer city is quite considerable.
In addition to the large and small forces that are affiliated with the Gongshu family, most of them are actually members of the Gongshu family's side branches.
Through the weapon refining shop opened by Lu Qing, he was able to come into contact with some of the disciples of the Gongshu family's side branches.
With his strength, coupled with the [Psychedelic] magical power.
It is naturally not difficult to find out some information about the inner city from these people.
This includes the place where Qiao Rong lives.
"Xiao Youfeng, it is said that Qiao Rong went crazy and publicly offered a bounty for Nangong Yuanwu, severely injuring him. After that, a conflict broke out between the Gongshu and Nangong families, and they almost started a war.
Finally, under the mediation of the Holy Alliance, the Gongshu family and the Nangong family reluctantly reconciled.
But after that incident, Qiao Rong was still punished. Even though she was the legitimate wife of the second house, she was still banished to Xiaoyou Peak to recuperate. She was not allowed to leave the mountain without permission.
The information he had obtained flashed through Lu Qing's mind, and his figure moved quickly in the inner city like a ghost, constantly approaching Xiaoyou Peak.
Soon, he came to a sacred peak that exuded an icy aura. He looked at the three large black characters engraved on the mountain wall with a smile on his face.
Just at this moment, a girl who looked like a maid was walking from not far away, and seemed to be going up Xiaoyou Peak.
Lu Qing's expression moved slightly, and a wave of his soul had already fallen into the acupoint between the girl's eyebrows.
Just as Lu Qing was using illusion to extract information from the maid's mind.
In a house on Xiaoyou Mountain, a beautiful middle-aged woman in elegant clothes asked nervously, "Have you investigated what happened? Why did the ancestors suddenly come out of seclusion?"
More than ten ancestors of the Yuanshen suddenly revived and came out of seclusion. This had never happened in thousands of years.
What serious incident happened? Could it be that the demons are attacking?
"Reporting to Madam, I just went to the ancestral hall to investigate and heard that the soul lamp of the seventh ancestor of the third branch suddenly went out.
Then the Fourth Patriarch became furious and shouted, "How dare you assassinate my Gongshu family's soul?", then rushed to the outer city.
Immediately afterwards, the other ancestors also came out of seclusion and rushed out of the outer city together."
An old man who looked like a butler answered respectfully, with a look of shock still on his face.
It seemed that he was still shocked by the information he had heard.
"The Seventh Ancestor was assassinated in the outer city. Have you investigated the matter?"
When the beautiful middle-aged woman heard this, she was so shocked that she stood up immediately.
She had naturally heard the Fourth Ancestor's words that shook the entire city, but she never imagined that the person who was assassinated was actually the direct descendant ancestor of their Gongshu family.
"Why is the Seventh Ancestor in the Outer City? Yes, this old man loves women. Every six months, he goes to those brothels in the Outer City to seek pleasure. Today happens to be his day to go out."
The beautiful middle-aged woman couldn't believe it at first, but then she figured out the reason.
Then the next moment, her expression changed. She was no longer nervous, but instead looked pleased.
"No wonder the old guys have revived. They were the most protective of that old guy. Now that he's dead, they're desperate and will do anything!
But it's a good thing he died, this old guy should have died long ago!"
The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled, as if she was very happy about Gongshu Lian's death.
On the contrary, the housekeeper's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Madam, be careful with your words. If the ancestors hear this, it will be disastrous!"
"What's there to be afraid of? I've already been banished to this damn place. How could it get any worse? Could they kill me? When I married into the Gongshu family, that old fellow Gongshu Lian drooled at me. Now that he's dead, how can I not be happy?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman was not afraid at all and continued to speak hatefully.
Ever since Yu'er died and she was banished to this small and secluded peak, she has been filled with hatred towards the Gongshu family and wishes that this family would be destroyed immediately.
The housekeeper was anxious and helpless, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Then have you found out who killed that old man Gongshu Lian?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman continued to ask. (End of this chapter)
