"What? Red Flame Fox?!"
Zhenlian City, City Lord’s Mansion.
Xu Jiangxing, who had been resting, was awakened by his men. The captain of the guard team on duty on the city wall today reported to him that he had just seen the seventh-grade monster, the Red Flame Fox.
Xu Jiangxing, who was still a little drunk, suddenly sobered up and stood up from the bed:
"Did you see it clearly?"
The team leader immediately said, "All fifteen of us saw it. The red flame fox was exactly the same as the one recorded in the books. The demonic aura was so strong that it was extremely terrifying. There is no doubt about it!"
Xu Jiangxing immediately called all the members of the guard team together, and sure enough, everyone's statement was the same.
Xu Jiangxing's face looked extremely ugly, and he quickly asked someone to invite all the immortals of Zhenyang Sect to the meeting room.
Soon, Jianyue, Suxin, Chunningzhi and several deacons and disciples all arrived.
He Zhiqiu, Ruomei, He Su and Lan Yin had already reached the Golden Core Stage and would become steward disciples after returning to the sect, so they were also called in to discuss the matter.
Qin Gengyun came in with Liusu and Mo Xiaolan. The three of them sat at the bottom. Qin Gengyun looked around and asked Liusu in a low voice:
"What about Junior Sister Ruo?"
Liusu rolled her eyes at him, meaning how should I know if you don’t know?
At this time Qiu Zhihe walked in from outside and sat down calmly.
Everyone waited for a while, but did not see Zheng Shengmo. The person who went to invite him came back and said that Zheng Shengmo was not in the room.
Xu Jiangxing had no choice but to ask Chun Ningzhi, "Master Chun, do you know where Elder Zheng is?"
Chun Ningzhi shook his head blankly: "I went back to my room after the banquet. My master also told me to rest early and leave for Zhenyang Sect tomorrow."
Xu Jiangxing asked Jianyue again, and Jianyue also shook her head and said she didn't know. Xu Jiangxing felt a little embarrassed.
The appearance of a seventh-grade monster is no small matter. Among this group of people, only Zheng Shengmo, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, can resist it. It is unknown when the Red Flame Fox will attack. If Zheng Shengmo is not there, it will be troublesome.
At this time, the captain of the guard who was following Xu Jiangxing and preparing to explain the situation to the immortals hesitated and suddenly spoke:
"City Lord Xu, Elder Zheng... should have left the city."
"What? Elder Zheng is out of town?!"
"Uncle Zheng is out of town?"
Xu Jiangxing and everyone in Zhenyang Sect were very surprised. Chun Ningzhi said excitedly:
"Could it be that Master had known about the appearance of the Red Flame Fox and went out of the city to hunt down the evil beast?"
Su Xin was a little confused: "Didn't Master Uncle say that he had killed the Red Flame Fox? Why did this monster appear again?"
The Zhenyang Sect disciples looked at each other in bewilderment. Jianyue’s mouth curled up slightly, his eyes full of ridicule.
Xu Jiangxing and Zhou Shineng looked at each other and said nothing.
The captain of the guard looked at the important people and stammered, "Elder Zheng may not be going to kill the monster."
Chun Ningzhi immediately looked at him: "How do you know?"
The captain of the guard looked at Xu Jiangxing, and after receiving the latter's nod of approval, he said weakly:
"Elder Zheng left the city with a female fairy."
Everyone was shocked: "He went out with a woman?"
Xu Jiangxing asked quickly, "Who is it? Did you see it clearly?"
The captain of the guard said, "I only saw her profile clearly. She was a rather cold and beautiful female fairy wearing a purple sun brocade robe, but I don't recognize her."
Jianyue looked around and suddenly asked, "Where's Lin Qingchou?"
Only then did the others realize that Lin Qingchou was not there either.
"Why didn't Lin Qingchou come?"
"Could it be that she was the one who left the city with Master Zheng?"
Many people subconsciously turned their eyes to Chun Ningzhi.
Lin Qingchou likes Chun Ningzhi, and Chun Ningzhi admires Ye Xiyue. This is no longer a secret in Zhenyang Sect.
Now Lin Qingchou went out of the city late at night with Chun Ningzhi's master and has not returned yet. Everyone naturally contacted Chun Ningzhi.
Chun Ningzhi said innocently: "Don't look at me, I don't know what's going on."
Boom! !
Suddenly, a deafening explosion was heard in the distance.
The sound was like that caused by the collision of two huge spiritual energies. For a moment, the ground shook, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.
Everyone stood up suddenly, with shock on their faces:
"What's going on?!"
Su Xin's usually gentle and peaceful face also showed a hint of surprise:
"Leihuo?"
Wei Wan and Chun Ningzhi also felt that the huge vibration in the distance seemed to carry a burning breath. Jianyue glanced at Ruomei without leaving a trace, and a look of shock appeared on his face at the right time:
"The Scarlet Flame Fox controls the Fire of Departure. It seems that the records in the classics are actually true!"
"The one who collided with this fire must be Master! I want to lend a helping hand to Master!"
Chun Ningzhi flew out, and the others followed him, and the group quickly left the city gate.
Following the sound of collision and the burning breath, we headed south of Qilian Mountain.
Everyone's expression was extremely solemn.
Zheng Shengmo had previously said that he had killed the Red Flame Fox, but now that the Red Flame Fox has reappeared, Zheng Shengmo's words have become contradictory.
Also, why did Zheng Shengmo take Lin Qingchou out of the city late at night?
Not to mention asking her to help kill the Red Flame Fox, Lin Qingchou's cultivation is not enough. If she wants to find help, she should look for Jianyue and Suxin.
For a moment, some speculation arose in everyone's mind.
Only Chun Ningzhi still believed that his master had really gone to kill the monster.
Soon, they came to a forest. The scenery here should have been beautiful, but at this moment the trees had disappeared, and even the towering mountains were razed to the ground.
The ground was covered with holes of various sizes, which contained extremely hot flames.
It was obvious that a fierce battle had just taken place here.
"There's red fur here!"
Chun Ningzhi looked around for his master's trace and found a few monster furs in a pit. Su Xin said in a deep voice:
"It should be the Red Flame Fox!"
"Where is Elder Zheng?" Xu Jiangxing looked around. Everyone was searching everywhere, and suddenly someone exclaimed:
"Junior Sister Lin?!"
Under a pile of rocks, Lin Qingchou was curled up on the ground, her face pale and her whole body trembling.
Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were in disarray. She did not look like she had just been through a fierce battle, but rather like she had just done that with a man.
"Junior Sister Lin, why are you here?"
Su Xin took out one of her own robes from the storage bag and put it on Lin Qingchou, covering the large area of her white skin, and asked with concern.
The others also gathered around and looked at Lin Qingchou, and were surprised and suspicious of her current appearance.
Lin Qingchou sat on the ground, hugging her knees with her hands, shaking constantly, looking like she had suffered a huge blow.
Chun Ningzhi couldn't help but stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Junior Sister Lin, where is my master?!"
When Lin Qingchou heard him mention Zheng Shengmo, she twitched all over. She slowly raised her head and looked at Chun Ningzhi, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Brother Chun, why did you come just now?"
Chun Ningzhi was anxious and asked loudly: "What's going on? Where is my master?"
Lin Qingchou's eyes were empty, like a walking corpse, and she murmured:
"Zheng Shengmo raped me, and then was killed by the Red Flame Fox."
