"Third, the current Lord of Huoshi City, Meng Kui, has a magical power called Sitting Mountain Observation, which is very amazing."

"Among the four great generals of the Meng family, Meng Kui is the only wise one. He has been in Huoshixian City for many years, and his government is stable and the people are harmonious."

"You have the Golden Core Cultivation Base, the Natural Golden Eyes, and the protection of the national treasury magic weapon. Your combat power is outstanding."

"However, once Meng Kui performs the Sitting Mountain Observation, it will create a luck field, causing the luck of the creatures in the field to change dramatically."

"There are very few treasures that can suppress destiny. Without a valuable treasure to protect you, it will be difficult to suppress your destiny and you will be disturbed."

"I will give you a wind chime as a warning."

"I bow down to thank the king for his grace." Zhu Xuanji half-knelt on the ground again.

Finally, the King of Nandou waved his hand and said, "The relevant information and secrets of the Lava Fairy Palace are recorded in the royal secret realm. Before you leave, go and take a look. It will help you complete this mission. Remember, all secrets must not be leaked."

"I obey your order!" Zhu Xuanji took the order and retreated.

Zhu Xuanji left the capital.

Alone and hiding his identity, he traveled a long distance to Huoshi Mountain.

"Meng family..." Zhu Xuanji's face was solemn. In the Nandou Kingdom, the Su family and the Meng family were equally famous and powerful.

Zhu Xuanji sneaked all the way to the top of the mountain, but was discovered.

He used his divine eyes to look at the Lava Fairy Palace from afar. This was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

He took Chi Dun to visit the Zheng family and obtained relevant information about the black shadow demon cultivator.

He went deep into the Red Flame Demon Cave and used the tracing technique to find out that the Fire Spirit and the Mechanical Fire Monkey were the real culprits who bombed the Immortal Palace.

Then, the investigation was hampered.

Whether it is the Mechanical Fire Monkey or the Fire Spirit, these two clues were deliberately designed and have extremely low value.

At the Fire Persimmon Festival, Zhu Xuanji monitored the entire scene and did not find any trace of the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator.

Yuan Dasheng's performance made him sympathize with him, while Yuan Er made him disappointed and disgusted.

From the fragments of the Infernape, he once again collected countless clues.

He gave up decisively, believing that this was a decoy of the enemy and he did not want to waste his energy and time.

He guessed that the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator was likely to join forces with a certain force in the city. The other party had long been prepared for the Root Tracing Art and was very well hidden, making him a tough opponent.

Zhu Xuanji decided to work hard.

He requested all the records of the four major forces and constructed a list of suspects.

He deliberately released the list in the hope of alerting the suspects.

Zhu Xuanji deliberately acted in a high-profile manner and the first person he investigated was Li Leifeng.

The result was a calculation.

Li Leifeng died of old age. Zhu Xuanji secretly investigated and confirmed that it was the fact.

After that, he devoted all his time to investigating in Huoshixian City and looking through the past performance records of officials and clerks, but he did not find any suitable candidates.

He wrote a special memorial and sent it to the royal family, stating the truth and hoping that the Zhu family would send a member to take on the responsibility of director of the garden.

Zhu Xuanji continued his investigation.

When a demon cultivator resisted, he killed Zhao Die.

He killed Liu Ying again to confirm that the other party did not have the ability to hang on to life.

He acted with great fanfare and in a high profile, triggering a series of reactions.

The demon cultivators and independent cultivators in Huoshi Xiancheng left, some formed groups, some depended on others.

This is not a problem for Zhu Xuanji.

The investigation is still progressing step by step.

During this period, the Qi-refining geniuses from the four forces were attacked and assassinated at the same time.

Zhu Xuanji immediately took action to investigate.

He found many clues, the key points of which were cut off, but most of them still pointed to Faith.

Zhu Xuanji knew what was going on, so he held back.

He was quite disappointed, knowing that this was not the real murderer he was looking for, but a secret confrontation between the four major forces.

The three major families wanted to use him as a gun to deal with the City Lord's Mansion in order to benefit the three families themselves.

Zhu Xuanji understood what was happening and withdrew in time.

A few days ago, he went to Zhou's house to inquire about Chu Xi Yao.

During the interrogation, the Zhou family specially sent elders to accompany and support Chu Xi Yao.

Zhu Xuanji didn't notice that Chu Xiyao was lying, and walked out of Zhou's house with an expressionless face.

"Interesting." He looked up at the sky.

This alerted the enemy and disturbed countless people, but did not bring up the real culprit.

"The person behind the scenes is hiding very deeply."

Zhu Xuanji unfolded the list of suspects and looked at it again.

His list is divided into three sections.

The first section is about the cultivators who have been confirmed to have entered the Lava Fairy Palace, such as two Jindan cultivators from the Zheng family, a Jindan ancestor from the Zhou family, Li Leifeng, Zhao Die, Liu Ying, Chu Xiyao, etc.

The second list is for cultivators who have considerable knowledge of mechanical arts and meet the criteria for entering the palace, but the four major forces have no records of these people entering and leaving the palace. Among them is the young guest!

The third list includes people who have expertise in mechanical engineering, have been in and out of the Fairy Palace, or have no relevant records but are generally recognized to be dead.

He had already checked the list of the first section, and now it was the turn of the second section.

After checking the two people, it was the turn of the young guest.

Chui Tiao Ke is very mysterious, but he has sold many mechanical creations on the black market. The last time he appeared, he and Han Ming raided Ziyang Villa and cooperated with a mysterious third person to successfully steal a large number of elixirs.

Zhu Xuanji had known of this clue a long time ago, but after he thought about it, he felt that the relationship between the young guest and the black shadow demon cultivator did not have much suspicion.

Sun Lie tampered with the elixir to guard against Han Ming. Chui Tiao Ke and his gang probably saw through the trick and decided that the elixir was unusable, so they threw it away.

But their work was in vain. In order to take revenge, or to shift the blame to someone else, they threw the elixir directly into the fire persimmon forest and put the blame on the black shadow demon cultivator.

Once the City Lord's Mansion and the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator fight, the Fire Persimmon Forest will surely suffer, and the City Lord's Mansion will suffer heavy losses. At that time, these demon cultivators will be watching from the sidelines, and will definitely be gloating and happy.

Zhu Xuanji approved of Feisi's approach to this matter.

Fei Si did his job well and truly protected the huge wealth of Huoshilin. This was for both the City Lord's Mansion and the Nandou Kingdom.

Zhu Xuanji's logic for speculating on the relationship between Chui Tiao Ke and the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator was quite simple and straightforward - if Chui Tiao Ke and the others were really involved with the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, why didn't they secretly send the elixir? Why did they have to make such a big fuss and let everyone know? And now, Zhu Xuanji still found Chui Tiao Ke according to the list.

"The owner of the black market is called Sun Lingtong, who is at the peak of the foundation building stage and an outer disciple of the Bukong Sect. He must know something."

With this thought in mind, Zhu Xuanji came to the door.

"A young man..." Sun Lingtong rolled his eyes and said with a playful smile, "What does Lord Zhu want to see him for?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Zhu Xuanji said expressionlessly: "You just need to cooperate and tell me the details. What I do with him is none of your business."

Sun Lingtong scratched his head: "Oh, I can't lie in front of Master Zhu."

Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly: "Sun Lingtong, I have investigated you. Although you are the boss of the black market, you are not a vicious person. Over the years, you have rectified the black market and abided by the rules you issued. To some extent, you have avoided a lot of bloodshed and disputes."

"Just tell the truth, I won't make it difficult for you."

Sun Lingtong spread out his hands: "Then I'll tell you, I know the whereabouts of the little boy. But if you want to know, you have to have this."

As she spoke, Sun Lingtong stretched out her pink and tender fingers and rubbed them in front of Zhu Xuanji's eyes.

"You want money? Haha." Zhu Xuanji was so angry that he laughed, "Since I started investigating a case, I have never paid for clues. You are really taking advantage of me. You are so bold."

"Hmm?" Suddenly, a golden light flashed in Zhu Xuanji's eyes.

His expression changed: "No, you are lying!"

"Even if I used money, you wouldn't tell the truth."

This time it was Sun Ling's turn to change color.

"Interesting." Zhu Xuanji stared at Sun Lingtong, his eyes shining brightly. "You are so protective of the young man. It seems that you are also involved in the case of Ziyang Villa?"

Sun Lingtong shouted: "Master Zhu, what are you talking about?"

"You're trying to frame me!"

"I, I, I'm just a child, and you're an adult, and you're wrongly accusing me and bullying me right in front of me?!"

"Someone, come and take a look! Zhu Shenfei is bullying people!"

Sun Lingtong sat down on the ground, beating her chest and stamping her feet, crying loudly: "This is too bullying! There is no kindness at all, members of the royal family are bullying children!!"

“Woo woo woo!”

"I can't live anymore. I can't afford to live anymore."

"I was wrongly accused by the Zhu family. You are a great detective, but you are making up stories without any evidence!"

"How am I going to live in the future?"

"My reputation!"

"What will people think of me, oh my god."

"I might as well die. Woohoo, I'm so pitiful."

"Quickly record this scene on the jade slip. I will keep it for future use to seek justice."

"Come and see, the Zhu royal family is bullying the common people!!!"

Sun Lingtong was crying and rolling on the ground, her pink legs and arms flailing around.

Zhu Xuanji: ...

The vendor who was just kicked to the ground by Sun Lingtong: ...

On the other hand, the burly men brought by Sun Lingtong were silent, as if they were used to it. One of them actually took out a jade slip, held it in his hand, and recorded the scene.

Zhu Xuanji was so angry that he laughed out loud: "Do you think you can escape my investigation by throwing a tantrum like this?"

"Sun Lingtong, stand up, don't let me look down on you."

Sun Lingtong cried, "No, I won't. Come and see, someone is bullying a child."

He crawled towards Zhu Xuanji while crying.

Zhu Xuanji subconsciously took a few steps back, but Sun Lingtong still held his calf.

Zhu Xuanji was furious. He swung his legs and shouted, "Sun Lingtong! You are in charge of the black market and you are a well-known figure. What is the difference between you and a three-year-old child now?"

Sun Lingtong: "I don't care, you are just bullying me. If you have evidence, show it to me."

"Woo woo woo, my master is not here, and you pick on the weak and young to bully them. Are you still human?!"

This movement attracted a lot of attention.

Zhu Xuanji's face turned blue and he swung his legs wildly.

Sun Lingtong held on tightly and refused to let go, like a dog-skin plaster.

He also rubbed his face against Zhu Xuanji's trouser legs, smearing his snot and tears on them.

Zhu Xuanji: "Sun Lingtong, you are going too far!"

Sun Lingtong yelled, "Just beat me to death, Lord Zhu. Just beat a child to death. You are Lord Zhu who is responsible for investigating hidden dangers and protecting the people. What could you have done wrong?!"

Zhu Xuanji was so angry that he felt murderous intent. At this moment, a bell sounded in his dantian above his sea of ​​consciousness.

It's the wind chimes!
