"The Black Shadow Demon Cultivator, where did the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator go?!" Chi Dun searched everywhere.

The Jindan cultivators from the three major families also made the same move as him.

Fei Si's face turned pale. He had never expected this result. He ordered sternly, "Find him. Find him. Dig three feet deep to find this demon cultivator!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the black shadow demon cultivator disappeared without a trace! Fei Si was furious.

This job was a failure! All the citizens knew that the City Lord's Mansion had been tricked. They had made such an elaborate arrangement, but in the end, they were caught in vain.

"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!" Fei Si gritted his teeth and looked at Zhu Xuanji in the distance.

After thinking about it, Fei Si took the initiative to fly towards Zhu Xuanji.

Before this, Zhu Xuanji forced him to open the magic circle and saved Yuan Dasheng's life, which made Fei Si lose face. But now, the fact that the black shadow demon cultivator disappeared without a trace was much more important than Fei Si's personal reputation.

Fei Si knew what was more important, and immediately put aside his grudge against Zhu Xuanji, forced a smile on his face, and asked, "Master Zhu was observing the whole process, I wonder what your golden eyes saw?"

Zhu Xuanji shook his head: "Nothing was found."

"If anyone is hiding, they will be revealed before my golden eyes."

"Throughout the entire process, there were no suspicious people. I can only infer that the black shadow demon cultivator had already left the Fire Persimmon Forest before this."

When Fei Si heard this, he frowned and subconsciously denied it strongly: "No, he must be there!"

Zhu Xuanji's inference was most unfavorable to him.

Because he was in charge of the Huoshilin Forest, he was equivalent to the prison boss, but the prisoners escaped and he knew nothing about it.

Fei Si went to great lengths for this Persimmon Festival, but ended up with nothing, making the entire City Lord's Mansion a laughing stock.

Chi Dun flew over at this time and scolded him: "Fei Si, if you hadn't stopped me at the beginning, I would have hunted down that demon cultivator and eliminated him that night!"

"You were the one who insisted on keeping things calm and reducing losses. Now the black shadow demon has escaped! How on earth are you going to take care of the Fire Persimmon Forest?"

Fei Si snorted coldly: "Let's not talk about other things first. The Fire Persimmon Forest was successfully picked. Just tell me whether this huge fortune has been preserved!"

"Besides, the magic circle is always open and records the entire process. It can withstand any inspection."

"If it is really found that the black shadow demon cultivator escaped successfully due to my negligence, then I will accept the punishment and take the initiative to apologize to the city lord!"

The Zhou family's Jindan ancestor also flew over at this time: "Of course, the records of the magic array must be checked."

The Zhou family's ancestor also looked unhappy.

Although the City Lord's Mansion was the biggest joke at this time, the golden elixirs of their three major families were in vain and shameful.

The Zhou family ancestor continued, "The key point now is, did this black shadow demon cultivator escape from the magic circle before, or did he slip away right under our noses today?"

"Based on my experience in setting up formations, the Fire Persimmon Forest formation is densely packed and connected to the Immortal City formation. It is extremely meticulous and rigorous."

"If I were the black shadow demon cultivator, even if I could break the formation, it would definitely cause quite a stir. Is it really possible for a Jindan cultivator to escape so quietly?"

For a moment, Fei Si, Zhu Xuanji, and Chi Dun all fell into silence.

All three of them thought of a very scary possibility -

If the Black Shadow Demon really left early, perhaps someone secretly opened the formation and let him go!

The highest power of the fairy city's formation lies in the hands of the city lord. Fei Si guards the fire persimmon forest and also has the right to control this area of ​​numerous formations.

In addition, several columns of the Immortal City Formation were located in the settlements of the three major families. Therefore, the three major families could also manipulate the formation and secretly let the black shadow demon cultivator go.

If this is true, the situation is serious.

"As for the three major families, each of them is a suspect."

"On the one hand, the City Lord's Mansion has always had an advantage in the competition with the Lava Immortal Palace. On the other hand, the three major families certainly don't want to see the Lava Immortal Palace being acquired by the City Lord, and then introduce the Meng family to settle in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City!"

"If it is really one or more of the three families, then the Zhou family is the most suspicious."

"The Zhou family is good at formations, the Zheng family is good at weapons, and the Ning family is good at talismans. The Zhou family is the best at formations."

The Zhou family patriarch acted very frankly. He continued, "That black shadow demon cultivator escaped before - we will not care about this possibility for now."

"There were some suspicious points during the process of picking the persimmons today."

"That's right!" Chi Dun nodded immediately and knew what the Zhou family ancestor was talking about.

Before that, a dozen mechanical monkeys suddenly rioted, broke away from the control of the foundation-building monks, and attacked and killed Yuan Er, the current leader of the Monkey Head Gang.

This strange change was seen by all the Jindan cultivators.

They held back, but Fei Si handled the situation cleanly and efficiently, directly activating the formation and killing all the mechanical monkeys.

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

The Zhou family ancestor continued: "Why did those mechanical monkeys riot? Who is controlling them?"

"After the mechanical monkey was destroyed, the old ape from the Monkey Head Gang made a mistake, causing a thousand-year-old fire persimmon forest to self-destruct."

"Is it really a mistake? Or is it affected by some spell or magic weapon?"

"Did the black shadow demon cultivator use the explosion to attract our attention and escape?"

Fei Si immediately waved his hand, activated the formation, and called up the image at that time.

The Jindans looked at it several times but didn't find anything fishy.

Faith: "I will conduct a strict investigation into the cause of the Inferno Monkey's loss of control."

Zhu Xuanji continued, "I used my golden eyes to monitor the situation and confirmed that the old ape had indeed made a mistake!"

Chi Dun frowned, "It's a bit strange. This old monkey is the foundation of the Monkey Head Gang, and has been picking fire persimmons for many years. At the beginning, there were indeed some mistakes. But in recent years, it has successfully completed the task. Why did it make a mistake this time?"

Fei Si pondered for a while before saying, "Since they are flesh and blood, mistakes are inevitable. The Monkey Head Gang has been targeted a lot before, and Yuan Er was even ambushed and besieged before. The old monkey is restless and it is very likely that he will make mistakes."

At this point, Fei thought of Ning Zhuo.

Immediately, he thought of his 40% profit.

He began to feel that this 40% profit was a little too hot.

The Zhou family ancestor said: "Do you think that the black shadow demon cultivator could be hiding in the old ape's body?"

"Whether it was the mechanical monkeys that suddenly revolted or the old monkey's mistake, a chain explosion occurred anyway."

"The flames blocked our vision. At this moment, the Dark Shadow Demon Cultivator killed the old ape and hid inside its body."

Having said that, the Zhou family ancestor turned his gaze to Zhu Xuanji.

"There is one thing I don't understand. I would like to ask you, why did Lord Zhu save that old ape?"

For a moment, everyone else's eyes were also cast on Zhu Xuanji.

There was a gleam of gloating in Faith's eyes.
