After listening to Zhou An's story, several people looked at each other, and then Lianyi asked:
"City Lord Zhou, do you know if there was anything unusual about these people before they disappeared?"
"It seems not."
Zhou An shook his head.
"How did you arrange the two teams sent by the Wuyun Sect?"
"I put them up in the City Lord's Mansion. After they rested for a night, they searched for clues all over the city. After they went out the next day, they never returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
I thought they had found a clue but hadn't had time to inform me, so I waited here, but there was no news after waiting for a long time, so I finally contacted the sect again."
Zhou An said somewhat uneasily.
"So what about the second mission team?"
Ripple continued to ask.
"After they arrived, they specifically checked the guest house where the first team rested, but found nothing, so they began searching the entire city. Three days later, they were gone too."
Zhou An couldn't continue talking here because he had no useful clues.
Qiao Hao felt that he could not get anything out of him, so he asked Zhou An to take them to the temporary residence of the first two teams to check.
The five people used their spiritual consciousness together, not even missing a crack in the corner, but unfortunately there was still no clue.
"We can't see anything at the moment. Let's take a day off and go around the city tomorrow."
Qiao Hao said directly.
"I'll stay with you."
Zhou An said immediately.
“No need. If someone really targets the disciples of the Wuyun Sect and you are implicated by us, who will ask the sect for help?”
Qiao Hao rejected the other party's proposal.
“But I’m really worried.”
Zhou An explained immediately.
"No problem."
Qiao Hao waved his hand.
Lian Yi suddenly asked:
"City Lord Zhou, will all the cultivators who did not stay in Bianxia City be lost?"
Zhou An frowned and thought for a while before saying:
"As you reminded, it seems to be true. However, the cultivators passing through Bianxia City seem to be fine."
"Then let's stay for two days and see how it goes."
Sun Lanlan said immediately.
"I'll arrange separate accommodation for you guys."
Zhou An personally arranged new accommodation for the few people and brought them spiritual meals and spiritual tea before leaving.
None of them touched the things that the people from the City Lord's Mansion brought. They just looked around and placed an isolation array before discussing the next plan.
"Zhou An doesn't know anything about this. He obviously doesn't want to talk. How can we find a breakthrough?"
Sun Lanlan said while supporting her head.
"No risk, no gain. Let's go to another city and have a look."
Lianyi said while petting the cat.
"How do I get in?"
Zhao Mingyu asked directly.
"wait."
"wait?"
"Yes, we should have become the target of the person behind the scenes. We just need to wait quietly."
Ripple said calmly.
"Once we enter that city, we must reunite as quickly as possible. We can discuss the task of finding people after we reunite."
Qiao Hao said immediately.
"clear."
After discussing the matter, the five people returned to their rooms, sat cross-legged in meditation, waiting to greet their own "disappearance".
That night, when the moon in the sky was covered by clouds, a red light emerged from the City Lord's Mansion. It stayed for only three breaths before disappearing, along with Lianyi and the other four.
Lianyi felt a wave of magic, then her eyes blurred and when she opened her eyes, she found that she was still in the guest room, but this was not the same guest room as before.
"Tornado, are you awake? Let's go out and take a look."
Lianyi summoned Cyclone from the spirit beast ring and asked.
"woke up!"
Tornado put his front paws on the ground, stretched, and then jumped onto Ripple's shoulder.
Lianyi pushed open the door and found it quiet all around, as if everyone was fast asleep. She went to knock on the door of the next door guest room, but there was no response.
"Didn't they come?"
Lianyi muttered something, not knowing that the place where Qiao Hao and the other three appeared at this time was in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. They encountered some missing monks who were also locked up, including the fellow disciple who had received the task before.
"How long have you been held here?"
Qiao Hao asked with a frown.
"We have been locked up here since the second day we entered the City Lord's Mansion."
"It's the third day for our team."
Zhang Hong said weakly.
"Is it the City Lord's Mansion that's behind this?"
"That's them! They are totally the thief crying thief!"
Another female cultivator said angrily.
"Brother Qiao, my spiritual power is imprisoned."
Sun Lanlan said with some horror.
After hearing this, Qiao Hao tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his body, but he was unable to do so. He also couldn't open the storage ring. He turned around and asked the other two:
"Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Xiao, where are the two of you?"
"Same."
There was resentment in both of their eyes.
"Where's Senior Sister Elaine?"
Sun Lanlan looked around and suddenly found that one person was missing. Qiao Hao also found that Lianyi was missing.
Zhang Hong's face looked very ugly at this time, and he asked directly:
"What is Senior Sister Elaine's cultivation level?"
"The late stage of foundation building."
"Oops!"
"What's wrong?"
"He might be valued by the city lord and used as a furnace to absorb all his cultivation."
"What?"
The four of them said in unison.
Lianyi, who was being cared about by the four men at this time, took a walk in the City Lord's Mansion with Xuanfeng and found the entrance to the underground cell. When she was about to go down, she was stopped by a male cultivator.
"My beauty, this is not the place for you to go."
Lian Yi turned to look at the other party and frowned:
"City Lord Zhou? You are not Zhou An!"
"Haha, Fairy Elaine is really perceptive. Zhou An is my brother, and I am Zhou Quan."
The male cultivator had the exact same face and figure as City Lord Zhou, except that he was more proud and had an arrogant feeling of being able to control other people's lives and deaths. It was this feeling that made Lianyi see through the difference between the two at a glance.
"So City Lord Zhou is really the one who is crying thief. What do you want to do by bringing me here?"
Ripple asked.
"Of course I like you and allow you to be my concubine. As long as you help me break through to the Golden Core Stage, I will give you a status."
Zhou Quan said this in a condescending tone, as if everything was under his control.
"Tsk tsk, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Your face is so disgusting that my cultivation is about to regress. You still want me to be your concubine? Then let's see if you have the ability."
After Lianyi finished speaking, he punched the other person in the face.
She knew that her cultivation was sealed and she could not mobilize her spiritual power, but so what, her spiritual power was bound to her soul.
Zhou Quan didn't expect that this female cultivator would dare to resist. The disdain in his eyes became even stronger. He then raised his hands to form a defensive shield in front of himself, wanting to see the other party make a fool of herself. However, he was no longer proud the next moment.
Lianyi's fist easily shattered his earth-based defense shield and hit him hard in the face, causing him to be knocked flying. When he turned around to steady himself, a transparent silk thread wrapped around his neck, and his head and body were separated in the next moment.
To kill you while you are weak is Lianyi's principle in fighting the enemy. When the opponent's head and body are separated, she takes a running start and attacks with both fists at the same time, one punch on the opponent's heart and the other punch on the opponent's dantian.
