Jiang Bingbing and Wen Yuzhao shared the same idea.
They can't help.
But you absolutely mustn't cause trouble!
Liu Zheng: "After I entered Xiaoliang Mountain last night, I burned a few communication talismans, but I didn't get a reply from my third junior brother. Xiaoliang Mountain does have some demonic energy, but it doesn't seem like there's a powerful demon there that could keep my third junior brother and several other junior brothers from the sect from contacting me."
Difficult, Way, Say
Gingerbread suddenly thought of a possibility.
at the same time.
Wen Yuzhao: "Senior sister, I have an idea."
"Junior brother, speak," Liu Zheng gestured with his eyes, indicating that he should speak quickly.
"Is it possible that my third junior brother and the others are not in Xiaoliangshan?" Wen Yuzhao lowered his eyes slightly, his expression solemn.
Gingerbread appeared to be playing with the teacup, but inwardly it was nodding frantically.
Her second senior brother thought the same thing.
No wonder Master asked Senior Sister to bring Second Senior Brother along on this trip.
The eldest sister has profound cultivation and formidable combat power, but she is straightforward and can't handle things when they come to a complicated or roundabout way.
"Junior brother, what makes you say that?" Liu Zheng asked urgently.
Wen Yuzhao was about to speak.
Two maids entered and bowed, "Master, here is the congee you requested."
Liu Zheng waved his hand, "Put it here, you can go down."
The maid slowly withdrew.
Gingerbread noticed that one of the maids had a bell hanging from her waist, which seemed rather out of place.
Liu Zheng: "Junior brother, please continue."
"Wait a minute." Gingerbread abandoned her cute and silly act. "Senior sister, do you think someone might be eavesdropping?"
These words enlightened Liu Zheng.
She is at the half-step Nascent Soul realm, so anyone outside will definitely be detected by her spiritual sense. However, if someone uses some kind of eavesdropping magic weapon, there will be times when she cannot detect them.
After listening to what Gingerbread said.
Liu Zheng casually set up a small barrier.
Only then did the three feel comfortable discussing the matter inside.
Wen Yuzhao said in a low voice, "The news that Third Junior Brother went to Xiaoliang Mountain was all said by City Lord Xiong alone."
"Given Yingnan's personality, he would never be able to stand this city lord putting on airs of wealth in front of him. So how could Yingnan go to Xiaoliang Mountain willingly when this city lord said there was a demon there? He would definitely try to squeeze this city lord for himself."
“Yesterday, Lord Xiong showed no displeasure whatsoever, which means either Ying Nan has changed his ways, or he never actually went to Xiaoliang Mountain.”
Smart person.
Gingerbread felt a tightness in its chest.
Her guess, to put it bluntly, was her sixth sense.
The second senior brother's words were so reasonable and well-founded that they were completely convincing.
The third senior brother hates it when people show off in front of him.
Not to mention, that Xiong City Lord was extremely ugly, indiscriminately killed spirit beasts, and was by no means a kind person.
Peacock is rebellious and arrogant; she would never be obediently ordered around by someone so wicked.
Liu Zheng frowned. "Junior brother is right. So, what should we do next?"
The fine tradition of Xianyu Peak is—
Never try to be strong by relying on your weaknesses!
Those in charge of physical strength are only responsible for fighting and charging ahead, while those in charge of mental strength will never be the ones yelling and charging into battle.
Wen Yuzhao suggested, "Senior Sister, why don't you try following City Lord Xiong? You might find something soon."
"Okay, I'll listen to my junior brother."
The senior and junior students had just made an agreement.
The maid came to deliver the message.
"Immortal Master, the City Lord has specially prepared a banquet for you in the front hall. Please move to the Golden Antelope Hall at noon."
"Reporting to your city lord, we will be there on time."
......
Noon arrived quickly.
The three of them hurried towards the Golden Antelope Palace.
As soon as they stepped into the main hall, an old man in a Taoist robe came to greet them with a hunched back. "You must be the immortal masters of the Sword Sect. You are indeed otherworldly and ethereal, with profound immortal techniques!"
This old man has a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks.
Her smile was all flattery and fawning.
Liu Zheng nodded first, then looked at Xiong Lie, signaling him to introduce the man.
Xiong Lie embraced the beautiful maidservant and clapped his hands, laughing loudly: "This is Daoist Chongxu, a distinguished guest of our mansion. Since we are holding a banquet, we should naturally invite him over to join in the fun."
"I see."
The group took their respective seats.
"Immortal Liu, you've finally arrived! Today I'll put on a good show for you!"
Xiong Lie grinned, laughing so hard that his bulging eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
It's simply unbearable to look at.
Gingerbread lowered its head, and even the fine wine on the table felt nauseous.
Xiong Lie clapped his hands, and the musicians began to play.
The music started.
Two burly guards carried in a giant iron cage.
There were three white foxes locked in an iron cage.
When the white foxes saw Xiong Lie, they all hid in the corner of the iron cage in fear, trembling and whimpering.
So it was these white foxes crying in the middle of the night?
Gingerbread felt sorry for the white fox.
"These are no ordinary white foxes," Xiong Lie said smugly. "These are foxes that have cultivated in the Illusion Valley for a hundred years. They can transform into human form, and each one is incomparably beautiful."
"You'll be in for a treat in a moment!"
The old Taoist raised his wine cup in flattery, "Lord Xiong is truly awe-inspiring. Even the demons of Illusion Valley can be captured by you and kept in this iron cage to be tormented at will."
"Hahahaha, you can talk! After their performance, I'll pick one for you!"
"This old Taoist priest thanks you, City Lord!"
Two repulsive people are engaging in lip service.
Gingerbread wasn't interested in listening; she saw the white fox huddled in the corner, the one in front protecting the two behind.
I overheard the conversation between Xiong Lie and the old Taoist priest.
The fox in front bared its teeth and let out a desperate growl.
I wonder what will happen to them later. Neither that old Taoist priest nor that damned city lord are good people.
