While ordinary monks were discussing the incident in the arena, Leng Su and his group of ascended monks were also busy. They not only had to rescue the monks who escaped and disperse them to hidden places, but also had to deal with the pursuit of the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families.
As for Jiang Cheng, who led Gu Yao and the other two into the arena, he was arranged to be a gatekeeper in a middle-class family under a new appearance. He was so secluded in the city that the people of the four major families did not find his whereabouts.
Leng Su also secretly met with several ascended monks at this moment. They were originally interested in the two immortal pill masters mentioned by Leng Su, but at that time they felt that they had just ascended not long ago and still needed the support of the old ascended monks. As a result, this time they did something big and shocked these old ascended monks. The four major families did not expect it at all, and they did not expect it either.
This time, they still felt incredible when they met Leng Su. Although some people had their own little thoughts, everyone's thoughts were the same at the moment.
"We must not let the City Lord's Mansion and the four families find them. We must protect them at all costs. Maybe our chance of turning the tables lies in them."
Leng Su smiled: "I don't think they need our protection. I don't know where they are now since they left the arena. Donglin City is so big, with hundreds of millions of cultivators. It is not easy to find three of them. We don't need to do anything extra now. They will definitely contact us if they need us."
The other cultivators thought about it and it was true. On the contrary, they were the ones who were being watched wherever they went recently, but there was no solid evidence that they were the ones who did it. If they were not worried about their destructive power, I'm afraid they would not be able to live in peace now.
"We should find a way to remove the slave mark. We have made some progress recently. If we don't remove it, the sword hanging over our heads will eventually fall." The ascended monks have long begun to study the method to remove the slave mark. If they don't remove it, they dare not rescue the monks who have been marked with the slave mark, because the people rescued will also be helpless.
Speaking of this, everyone's anger towards the people of the four major families has risen again. They have friends and acquaintances of monks who are in such a situation, and some have already lost their lives.
Even if these monks have the opportunity to remove the slave mark in the future, the possibility of their cultivation going up is probably extremely low. Those damn children of the noble families!
All the city gates have no way out, and it has been a month without being removed. Protests have already appeared among the monks, especially for some merchants, who have suffered greater losses.
However, the suspicious monks who appeared in the arena disappeared completely after leaving that day. In fact, everyone who tracked them knew that their appearance in the arena must be fake. They came with a purpose, so how could they reveal their true identity? They must have changed their faces and hidden in the crowd of hundreds of millions.
Young Master Zhang and Young Master Shi are in the worst situation now. They failed to take good care of the arena, causing the destruction of the arena. The most important thing is that they also brought two guests there, but left their lives there. How can they explain to Master He Dan and the Seven Stars Immortal Sect?
Before, they wanted to establish a relationship with the Seven Stars Immortal Sect, but now, let alone establish a relationship, it would be good if the senior leaders of the Immortal Sect did not come to Donglin City to ask for punishment.
Especially the Zhang family's late earthly immortal elder who was severely injured. Because of the death of these two people in the arena, Master He Dan has not agreed to refine a furnace of elixir for him. The longer the time drags on, the worse his condition becomes. The elder hates Zhang Da Shao. If he had not failed to protect the guests he brought over, why would it come to this?
Master He Dan sat with City Lord Qiao. City Lord Qiao had received the news that although the two dead were ordinary disciples of the Seven Stars Immortal Sect, they were not insignificant, because these two disciples also took over the mission of the Immortal Palace and went to the lower world through the space channel opened by the Immortal Emperor to support the lower world cultivators in killing the Void Beast.
In other words, these two disciples left their names in the Seven Stars Immortal Sect and the Immortal Palace. Now they died in Donglin City. Donglin City and him, the city lord, could not be completely irresponsible.
So City Lord Qiao felt very troubled: "These cultivation families, in fact, don't pay attention to cultivation at all. They only know how to eat, drink and enjoy themselves, and act arrogantly in the local area. Their cultivation is almost accumulated by resources. When I first came to Donglin City, I was also controlled by them. It took a lot of effort to suppress them. They probably didn't expect to cause such a big thing. Their vigilance was too low."
Master Hedan was also in a dilemma, because these two people came here with his immortal shuttle, and they didn't expect to die here. If he investigated, he would also have to take responsibility.
He tapped the table and said, "Actually, these two people said they came out to experience the world, but I have always been suspicious. If they really wanted to experience the world, they would not come to Donglin City with such a precise purpose. They must have come with a purpose. If we know the purpose, maybe we can find out who did it."
In Master He Dan's opinion, it was nothing more than murder and treasure-stealing, but these two people were too selfish and never mentioned it to others
. How to investigate now?
City Lord Qiao thought for a while and asked: "Can you find out which lower realm they went to to carry out the mission? If you want to know what is the difference between our Donglin City and other places, it is the ascension pool and the ascended monks."
Master Rui Dan said suspiciously: "If the target is an ascended monk they met in the lower realm, how could they have let this monk escape in the lower realm back then? Before the ascended monks ascended, even if they were in the early stage of human immortals, their strength crushed them."
In his opinion, if there were any grudges, they should have been resolved in the lower realm long ago, but they never imagined that there were two other monks from the immortal realm watching them at that time, making it impossible for Wen Fan and Geng Yan to start.
"This news can only be obtained from the Immortal Palace, which is not easy to do. Moreover, even if we want to find out, it will not be obtained in a short time."
City Lord Qiao said helplessly: "No matter what, let's start with these ascended monks. By the way, my men have found the lightning sword cultivator that Brother Rui mentioned last time. In fact, he is also an ascended monk. According to the monks who are spreading rumors outside, this lightning sword cultivator has just ascended for fifty years. , he was promoted to Earth Immortal, and he survived the heavenly tribulation outside, and later killed a star thief in the middle stage of Earth Immortal. "
When the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion came to report this to him, City Lord Qiao was also shocked by such qualifications and potential. Although he had a group of powerful Earth Immortals under his command, in terms of qualifications, none of them was better than this thunder sword cultivator. He had never heard of any ascended cultivator who only needed fifty years to be promoted to Earth Immortal.
Such qualifications made him feel jealous. If he had such good qualifications, why would he need to go to a place like Donglin City to be the city lord? Although he seemed to earn a lot of fairy stones, it was precisely because of his poor qualifications that it was difficult for him to succeed in Piaoxue Fairy Palace. Otherwise, the cultivation environment of Piaoxue Fairy Palace was many times better than that of Donglin City. Unless it was absolutely necessary, who would be willing to be exiled to Donglin City?
Master Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this: "It's really amazing. Do you know where he is now?"
There is no shortage of genius cultivators who can challenge higher-level cultivators in the immortal world, but it is rare to hear that he has just passed the heavenly tribulation and killed a mid-level earth immortal. Even if the star thief's strength is not very good, his feeling in the starry sky at that time was indeed correct.
City Lord Qiao shook his head: "Since killing the star thieves, they have lost their whereabouts. Maybe they have returned to Donglin City, but the various city gates have not registered their entry into the city. Maybe they have hidden their identities. After all, they were too high-profile before. By the way, there are two high-level human-level immortal alchemists traveling with them."
Alchemist? City Lord Qiao suddenly stood up with a flash of inspiration: "I may know who did it, it's very likely them! Because according to reports from the Zhang and Shi families, those cultivators and beasts all had traces of taking elixirs, one of which was an elixir that could allow an earthly immortal to rise one level in a short period of time."
That's why the four major families suspected that their enemies had secretly joined forces with the Ascended Monks camp, and that these elixirs were provided by them. They didn't think that the Alchemist in the Ascended Monks camp had such superb alchemy skills.
Master He pointed out to him: "You said it was a high-level human-level immortal alchemist. The elixir that could make the earthly immortal cultivator's strength increase dramatically can only be refined by a earth-level immortal alchemist. You didn't say that the two high-level human-level immortal alchemists could refine it?"
City Lord Qiao frowned: "What is the possibility of being able to refine it?"
Master He said: "If it is according to Brother Qiao's idea, they have only ascended for more than fifty years and have not yet passed the earthly immortal tribulation. If they can refine this elixir, their talent and level of alchemy are definitely one in a million, and they are not inferior to thunder sword cultivators.
Master Rui meant that if it was an immortal alchemist with such high talent, would City Lord Qiao be willing to take him out for questioning after finding him?
"This..." City Lord Qiao didn't know how to answer for a moment. If there was such an immortal pill master, his value would be much greater than the four families in Donglin City. Although these four families have a lot of immortal stones, they will all kneel down as long as a celestial immortal comes.
In recent years, when there was no conflict of interest, City Lord Qiao turned a blind eye to their actions and only regarded them as tools for making money.
But when it comes to his own interests, he will abandon them without hesitation.
"But," City Lord Qiao still hesitated, "they are ascended monks, and our position is not on the side of the ascended monks. "
Master Hedan stood up, put one hand behind his back and looked up at the sky: "Brother Qiao, did you know that not long ago, there was another Immortal Emperor in the ascended monk camp, who was promoted on the battlefield of the Void Beast. It is said that this person has a hot temper like fire and hates evil like hatred. If he encounters injustice, the possibility of him turning a blind eye is zero."
Qiao Shuangfeng was shocked: "Could it be that Yuheng Immortal Lord? "
Although the news from Donglin City is delayed, he came from Piaoxue Fairy Palace. The owner of Piaoxue Fairy Palace is the Immortal Lord, so he can naturally receive news from all sides of the fairy world. Moreover, Piaoxue Fairy Lord has always looked down on Yuheng Fairy Lord.
Yuheng Fairy Lord, hearing this name, one would think he is a cultivator with ethereal aura, but he is actually a guy who is good at close combat and very aggressive. At first, they naturally stood on the side of Piaoxue Fairy Lord, and it was natural that they would stand on the side of Piaoxue Fairy Lord. It is natural to think that Piaoxue Immortal Lord has all the resources of Piaoxue Immortal Palace, and will definitely become the Immortal Emperor before Yuheng Immortal Lord. It shouldn't be him, right?
Master Rui Dan sighed: "At first, when we heard such a description, we also felt that it was bad, but we also thought that it might be another Immortal Lord. But when the detailed news reached the Immortal Palace, we could no longer deceive ourselves. Now we should not call him Yuheng Immortal Lord, but Yuheng Immortal Emperor."
Qiao Shuangfeng took a deep breath. Although he could only see Piaoxue Immortal Lord from a distance in the past, he could imagine how bad Piaoxue Immortal Lord would feel after hearing this news. At least he had never heard of any signs of Piaoxue Immortal Lord breaking through and advancing to a higher level.
