Yuan Xinzi twirled his beard, his face a little ugly!

After the disaster in Liuhe Secret Realm last time, Yuan Xinzi pushed all the blame to the dead Senior Brother Sanshui. The Lingdao Master, thinking of his years of hard work in chasing the murderer, finally showed mercy and entrusted him with the important task of the elder, just to find the whereabouts of Lin Yi and the Blood Evil Pearl.

Yuan Xinzi was also very ambitious and wanted to do something to repay the Master's favor!

However, Lin Yi was cunning and treacherous, and he had been entangled with him for several years without getting any advantage. Now he has already escaped, how can he show up easily? For now, the only plan is to sit in the magic city and wait for luck to come.

In addition, Yuan Xinzi remembered clearly that Lin Yi had seized Sanshui's identity badge and a Zhongtian Demon Token. He ordered the monks under his jurisdiction to be on high alert and report any discovery to prevent any unexpected events!

Yuan Xinzi did not go out today and has been practicing in the cave. It is difficult to convince others if you have an identity but no corresponding cultivation! When he was working hard, he suddenly received an alarm.

Someone holding the banned Zhongtian Demon Token has sneaked into the third floor of the Demon City. It was only because Zhao Yanzi was traveling with him that the gatekeeper monk delayed reporting. At the time of the incident, Zhao Yanzi had already been killed...

Lin Yi showed up? According to the message from the gatekeeper monk before his death, the strange man not only held the token of Brother Sanshui, but also wore a gray robe and killed people without scruples. If it wasn't Lin Yi, who else could it be?

Yuan Xinzi couldn't believe it! When he came through the Demon City, he saw the corpse of Zhao Yanzi and the mess in front of the gate of Wushang City, and he immediately guessed the general situation.

Zhao Yanzi was a fellow apprentice, and he was quite jealous of Yuan Xinzi's rising status. They knew each other well, and there was no difference between them.

Why can you rise to the top in one step, while others are unknown and achieve nothing?

So, by chance, Zhao Yanzi really met someone in the city, and accidentally recognized the Zhongtian token worn by the other person. However, he did not rush to report it, but took the initiative to lead people to the heights of the Demon City, just to monopolize the credit, in order to gain the favor of Lingdao Demon Lord. Who would have thought that when he was about to reach the third floor of Wushang City, he was spotted by one party, and finally lost his own life!

Yuan Xinzi didn't care about Zhao Yanzi's life or death, but he didn't dare to neglect it, and hurriedly ordered to seal the four gates and the checkpoints leading to the city. Just when he was in a hurry, Ming Dao, who was ignored by the Demon Lord because of the Liuhe Secret Realm incident, saw the opportunity and followed him.

Ming Dao had been sent to the outer domain to find the whereabouts of Tian Ning and Tian Qi, but he was reluctant to leave the city on the pretext of not daring to face those masters of the demonic cultivation. His intention of showing up at this time is self-evident. He is not here to help, but to watch the fun!

Therefore, no matter what, this person with bad intentions cannot be caught...

In front of the city gate, more than a hundred cultivators gathered on both sides, and after talking about credit, they quietly waited for the decision of the elder in charge.

Yuan Xinzi was still stroking his beard and pondering, with an uncertain expression. Ming Dao was looking around with a gloating look, thinking about how to add insult to injury...

After a while, Ming Dao focused his attention on the top of the city gate and said in surprise: "The thief is a rare master of magic cultivation. How could he die so easily? Yuan Xinzi, if you don't find the whereabouts of the thief, you will be guilty of a serious crime! Not to mention that the Lord will not let you go, the Demon City will also be uneasy..."

Yuan Xinzi snorted and said: "The lower three cities are under my jurisdiction, and I will make a fair judgment later! And you, Elder Ming Dao, are outside the duties, but you are suspected of usurping the authority now!"

The matters of the first, second and third floors of the Demon City are under the jurisdiction of Yuan Xinzi. No matter how he acts, he doesn't want Ming Dao to get in the way, but it is inconvenient to drive him away directly, so he can only suppress his anger and speak to wake him up!

Although Yuan Xinzi said so, he couldn't help but look at Ming Dao, and his eyes shrank slightly.

The city wall was built with bluestones several feet long and reinforced with restrictions, making it very strong. Even so, a crack more than ten feet long and more than a foot deep was split above the city gate, which was more than ten feet above the ground. It was extremely shocking. The evil spirit that had not yet dissipated was very familiar. Lin Yi, you dared to come to the Demon City in person, you are so brave!

However, if the Lord knew the truth, I am afraid that he would not be happy, but would be furious. Under the siege of the whole city, what about the person who stole the blood evil bead...

"Haha! I have been arranging people for several days, so I have been delayed. I wanted to go out of the city for business today, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Now the four gates are closed, and there is nothing I can do!" Mingdao pretended to laugh helplessly, and then said confidently: "We are from the same sect, how can I stand by and watch? Why don't we find the whereabouts of the thief together so that the magic city can return to order..."

This Mingdao is taking the opportunity to cause trouble and wants to forcibly intervene in this matter. What a beautiful idea!

Yuan Xinzi retracted his gaze, snorted secretly, and said bluntly: "The invasion of the thieves has come to an end for the time being. I have other plans, so don't bother..."

Ming Dao turned to stare at Yuan Xinzi, with a suspicious look, and asked aggressively: "You don't have an old relationship with the thief and deliberately cover it up, so that's why you act ridiculous...?" Without waiting for the other party to argue, he held his black beard in his hand. , speaking confidently to all directions: "The thief will not be seen alive or dead, so who dares to let it go?" Everyone was afraid of the power and did not dare to say anything. He added: "Although the Lord has no time to interfere with the trivial matters of the three cities, And if he knew that someone was deliberately deceiving him, he would definitely be punished..."

"That's wrong..." Yuan Xinzi was forced to panic, hurriedly waved his hands to the people around him, turned around suddenly, and said very unhappy: "The damage to the city gate restriction is obvious to all! The thieves were killed. The siege was witnessed by hundreds of fellow sect members, and in my opinion, it is still unclear whether the thief escaped from the city with his magical power, died, or went into hiding elsewhere! In this case, how could he give up... ...?" At the end of his words, he asked in a very righteous manner, and then said: "Therefore, I have already planned to close the city for three months and conduct a thorough investigation to avoid any omissions. Meet the Lord in person and report it truthfully! Elder Mingdao, if you are dissatisfied, you might as well go to the Demon Palace with me..."

We went to the Heavenly Demon Palace together to find Demon Lord Lingdao to uphold justice. But there are some people who are really attracted by heaven, so if you let them compete for the limelight, you will only be asking for trouble!

Yuan Xinzi's response was so quick and seamless. Ming Dao couldn't help but his momentum froze, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he responded: "I was just concerned and confused. Who would have thought that you would have succeeded. Haha..." He smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and actually rose into the air. , did not forget to make a high-sounding excuse and said: "Since we can't leave the city, let's go back home. You can take care of yourself..." Before he could finish his words, he had already walked away.

Yuan Xinzi secretly spat at Ming Dao's retreating figure, but before he could slow down, his heart sank again. He glanced around, then thought silently.

Many Demon City monks were already waiting for orders.

On the street a hundred feet away, a crowd of people watching the excitement gradually gathered. Among the crowd, there were two ordinary-looking middle-aged men. One of them has thin eyes and a black beard, with an airy manner but a calm demeanor; the other has narrow eyes and a slightly surly expression.

The two people had been wandering on the street for a long time and accidentally witnessed everything just now. Although they were surprised, they seemed to have gained something from each other. As he couldn't leave the city for the time being, he could only wait with peace of mind. The two of them exchanged glances and slowly left the crowd...

Yuan Xinzi considered for a moment and then ordered the monks in the Demon City: "Inspect the four gates and search the whole city. If you see anything, report it immediately. No matter whether the thief is dead or alive, don't take it lightly!" The left and right people agreed in unison, and he He then reassured: "Those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded. I hope all of you colleagues will be diligent and diligent! I will report it now and ask Yulong City to send more manpower..."

After everyone accepted the order, they all got busy.

Yuan Xinzi glanced at the crack in the city gate again, turned around and left in a hurry.

It looks like a wave of calm, but in reality turmoil has just begun. There is no clue about everything, and there will be chaos in the city. Most of the demonic cultivators present are in the realm of the combined body and the Brahma world, so it is necessary to use the cave-heaven high gesture. Lin Yi, if you are still in the city, you will definitely be doomed. Even if it means digging three feet into the ground, hum...

…

The magic city was suddenly closed. Some people couldn't get out, and some couldn't get in.

A hundred miles away from the Demon City, a dusty old woman stopped castrating in mid-air. She lifted up a strand of messy silver hair, with a little exhaustion and emotion in her eyes, and muttered: "Times have changed, things have changed. Why are the four doors of Zhongtian City closed today? I came here just to find my Poor girl. Now that the situation is like this, it’s really difficult for me to do what I should do..."

After a while, the old woman shook her head and left helplessly. Thousands of miles away, there is a small valley. She sat down on the top of a mountain nearby, turned around and looked back, thinking to herself: This place is connected in all directions and there are many people coming and going. If you wait a few years, you might be able to meet that girl...

…

Hundreds of feet underground, in a secret room.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged, his guarded expression gradually relaxed.

More than ten days passed, and there was no movement in the stone house on the ground. Thinking about it, no one has found this place yet. However, if he kills several people in a row and causes trouble in the Demon City, how can the masters of the Demon City give up? Someone must have known about Lin's origins, and maybe they are sparing no effort to search the city. I don't dare to use my consciousness to find out the details, so I can only wait and wait.

The matter has come to this, and there is no point in thinking about it. You might as well take advantage of the difficult situation to practice. It's time to improve your cultivation. Even if his whereabouts are exposed, at least he will have a little more capital to fight for. Since chopping wood is inevitable, let’s sharpen the knife!

Lin Yi had a plan and made up his mind. But he was not busy practicing meditation, but turned his palm and took out a jade box. Open it, and a fist-sized fruit jumps in front of you, green and round, full of inspiration...
