Chapter 596 Death
Duan Chuan and Feng Lan came outside the shop and discussed in low voices.
"Master Feng, what do you think? Should we pursue him or not?" Duan Chuan asked, looking south.
"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it appears. I suspect that someone deliberately released the dragon scale shield to attract our attention." Feng Lan said.
"Why did the other party do this?" Duan Chuan asked.
Feng Lan shook his head, "I have no idea about this. Pang Zha was killed by someone, and the murderer was at least a late-stage Golden Core monk, or even a peak Golden Core monk. But the person who came to sell the magic weapon was only an early-stage Foundation Establishment monk. . Either the murderer has an accomplice, or he is pretending to be the murderer. If it is the latter, our lives may be in danger if we pursue him rashly."
Duan Chuan said, "Then I will report this matter to Palace Master Yun and let him make a decision?"
Fenglan said, "Okay."
A moment later, Duan Chuan received a reply from Yun Cang, the master of the Law Enforcement Palace, with a gloomy expression on his face.
"What did the palace master say?" Feng Lan asked.
"The palace master asked you and me to go ahead and chase the man selling the dragon scale shield. He will arrive soon," Duan Chuan replied.
"Then we can only chase." Feng Lan said reluctantly.
The two of them jumped into the air and fled towards the south.
But the speed of the two of them was not very fast. While running away, they released their spiritual consciousness and looked around.
The euphemistic name is to track down the suspect.
In fact, he was passively sabotaging his work, waiting for Yun Cang to come.
After the two of them left the city, their speed slowed down even more, and they could only match that of Qi-training monks.
And both of them summoned defensive magic weapons, always alert to the changes around them.
When the two were less than twenty miles away from the city, a figure flew from the sky. It was Yun Cang, the master of the Law Enforcement Hall, who had arrived.
"Have you two tracked down the suspect?" Yun Cang asked.
Duan Chuan clasped his fists and replied, "To the Palace Master, no trace of the suspect has been found yet."
Yun Cang said in a dissatisfied tone, "With the speed of the two of you, the suspect has already escaped."
Faced with Yun Cang's accusation, the two knew they were in the wrong and remained silent.
"snort!"
Yun Cang snorted coldly, but did not continue to accuse.
He knew very well what the two of them were worried about.
"You continue to chase south, while I follow you in the high-altitude clouds. However, you two can no longer be as perfunctory as before."
"Yes!" Duan Chuan and Feng Lan bowed and replied.
With Yuncang, a monk at the peak of the Golden Core stage, accompanying them, they thought they were safe.
This time, the two tracked much faster.
They opened their spiritual consciousness and scanned the surroundings.
Soon, the two of them traced it thousands of miles away.
Sudden.
In the woods below, a figure attracted their attention.
The man was more than six feet tall, covered in a black cloak, with a bronze mask on his face. He was in the early stages of foundation building.
It's almost exactly the same as the description given by the shopkeeper of the magic weapon shop.
Duan Chuan raised his hand and shot out a stream of magic power. Like an arrow from a string, the magic power went straight to the suspect below.
The suspect below faced the sudden attack of the Golden Pill cultivator. He had no power to resist. Before he could react, the magic power had already arrived.
Seeing that the magic power was about to penetrate the suspect's head, Duan Chuan's eyes flashed with surprise.
It seems that this suspect really only has the initial cultivation level of Foundation Establishment.
He quickly changed the direction of his magic power and shot it over the suspect's shoulder.
The magic power penetrated the suspect's left shoulder, and blood gurgled.
The suspect was thrown away and hit a big tree about a foot away before stopping.
Duan Chuan shot another mana, shattering the suspect's cloak, revealing the suspect's true face.
The suspect is a male cultivator, he looks about forty years old, and his face is full of pain and fear.
Duan Chuan and Feng Lan looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes.
This suspect is too unbearable, is he chasing the wrong person?
With this thought, the two lowered their bodies and landed next to the suspect.
"Who are you? Why do you appear here?" Duan Chuan asked sharply.
"Senior...Senior, this junior is Wang Cheng from the Wang family on Bibo Island. This time he came to Wuji Island to trade some elixirs with others." The male cultivator said tremblingly.
The Wang family of Bibo Island is a foundation-building family that belongs to Wuji Island. There are many such foundation-building families under Wuji Island, including dozens.
Duan Chuan and Feng Lan, as the deputy heads of Wuji Island Law Enforcement Hall, hold high positions of authority, so it is naturally impossible for them to recognize all the monks from the Foundation Building Family.
The two of them could not tell for a moment whether what Wang Cheng said was true or false.
"Then why are you so sneaky and wearing a black cloak in broad daylight?" Duan Chuan continued to ask.
"This junior is carrying an elixir worth one hundred thousand spirit stones, which is related to many members of the family and will be needed for cultivation in the next few months. This junior is worried about being targeted by Jie Xiu, so he deliberately hides his figure." Wang Cheng said.
Duan Chuan raised his hand and the storage ring in Wang Cheng's hand flew up into the air and fell into Duan Chuan's hand.
Duan Chuan forcibly broke through the spiritual consciousness mark on the storage ring, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into it.
In the storage ring, Duan Chuan found a large number of first- and second-level elixirs, as well as the family elder tokens of the Wang family on Bibo Island.
He instantly realized that he had really found the wrong person.
"When did the Tribulation Cultivator appear near Shadow City? Which Tribulation Cultivator dares to be so arrogant here! If you act secretly, you will only cause misunderstandings and get yourself into trouble for nothing." Duan Chuan said in a deep voice.
Wang Cheng raised his head and looked at Duan Chuan, "Yes, the younger generation will bear in mind the teachings of the elders."
He had also realized that Duan Chuan and Feng Lan had mistakenly admitted the wrong person.
He thought that after Duan Chuan had preached, he would return the storage ring to him and let him go.
However, Duan Chuan's next words made him feel scared.
"In your next life, remember to act more uprightly, so as not to lose your life in vain."
After Duan Chuan finished speaking, he bent his finger and shot out a stream of magic power.
Wang Cheng's head exploded instantly, and yellow and white things mixed with scarlet blood splashed all over the ground.
Duan Chuan threw a fireball casually.
The flames instantly devoured Wang Cheng's body.
Duan Chuan shook his head and was about to ask Feng Lan to leave.
Suddenly.
A cold light flashed.
An inch-long curved blade came out from the dense forest and shot towards Duan Chuan and Feng Lan at lightning speed.
Duan Chuan and Feng Lan's faces suddenly changed when they saw this.
Although the curved blade was small, it exuded a mighty power that made the two of them palpitate.
Duan Chuan immediately summoned a flying sword and slashed at the curved blade.
Feng Lan activated a shield to protect the two.
At the same time, the two were still worried, and each summoned a third-level early corpse puppet to guard them.
"Dang!"
A sharp sound of metal clashing sounded.
Duan Chuan's flying sword was easily knocked away by the curved blade, and the curved blade continued to move forward and slashed on the shield activated by Feng Lan.
"Bang!"
The shield was chopped off.
The curved blade was also blocked.
Before the two had any chance to breathe, three thunder spears over ten feet long shot out again.
The two had no time to use other means, so they could only urge two corpse puppets to block in front of them.
"Bang!"
Three thunder spears fell on the corpse puppet.
The lightning flashed, and the power of heaven was mighty.
The corpse aura on the corpse puppet was like the cold air under the scorching sun, which was instantly defeated by the lightning and dissipated in the air.
The corpse puppet began to tremble violently under the impact of the lightning.
Then, the two corpse puppets exploded at the same time.
Before the lightning faded, a black shadow suddenly approached like a phantom.
Two dark and withered claws suddenly stretched out and stabbed the chests of the two people, killing them directly.
Then, the black shadow sealed the souls of the two people and put the bodies into the storage ring.
It’s a long story, but in fact, Duan Chuan and Feng Lan were killed in just one or two breaths.
The whole process was smooth.
The speed of the black shadow was not even affected at all, and it had already left.
Yun Cang, who had been lurking in the clouds in the sky, only saw a residual shadow flashing out, and Duan Chuan and Feng Lan were already dead, and their bodies disappeared without a trace.
