Chapter 917 Making the Best Use of Everything
Xu Hei did not want to have too much contact with such a person of unknown origin, and he did not want to offend the city lord's palace.
Want him to take risks unless there are enough benefits.
Xu Hei's reasoning is simple. Since this woman cannot provide value and is hostile to them and poses a threat, she should be handed over to the city lord's palace in exchange for a reward.
The woman in black was stunned. Just as Xu Hei was about to walk out of the door, she shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Xu Hei paused.
The woman in black gritted her teeth, glared at Heihuang fiercely, and said, "Let this thief out first, I don't want to see him again!"
"Hey! Why, I am your savior!" Heihuang shouted.
Xu Hei looked at Hei Huang and signaled with his eyes, and the latter had no choice but to curse and leave the door.
After Hei Huang left, the woman in black stared at Xu Hei for a long time before saying, "My name is Zi Yuan. I am wanted by the Shenbing Pavilion. I have committed several murders in Nanhuang City. The City Lord's Mansion is also pursuing me for this reason."
She briefly explained her situation.
She also knew in her heart that just wasting it like this was not the answer, and her Immortal Killing Pearl could only be used as a deterrent to protect herself.
The other party can report it to the city lord's palace in exchange for a reward. There is no risk in this.
"How many murders?" Xu Hei thought of the reactions of Mu Chen and the two, and said with a half-smile, "You killed several law enforcement elders, right?"
"So what?" Zi Yuan snorted coldly.
Xu Hei's heart trembled.
His guess was indeed correct. As long as this woman touched the storage bag, she might kill her opponent instantly, which made Xu Hei alert.
I don’t know how Black and Yellow deceived this woman into the trap.
"Fellow Taoist Ziyuan has committed such a serious crime. I dare not keep you here. If you give me two Immortal-Destroying Pearls, I will unlock the seal and let you go." Xu Hei said seriously.
"You still want to deceive me about the Immortal Killing Pearl? Do you think I will be fooled?" Zi Yuan sneered.
"I'm not the same person as the guy just now. Don't compare me with that thief." Xu Hei had a straight face, seemingly unhappy.
The atmosphere fell into silence.
Zi Yuan lowered her head, seeming to be thinking. After a moment, she raised her head and said, "I only have one shot!"
"Deal!" Xu Hei agreed decisively.
After a stick of incense.
Xu Hei collected a fairy-killing bead and left the yard.
After he walked away, he took out the jade slip that Mu Chen had left behind, and said inside: "If you find the murderer, come quickly!"
…………
Nanhuang City, Dongcheng District Law Enforcement Hall.
After the two elders Mu Chen left Xu Hei's courtyard, they went straight to the Law Enforcement Hall without going anywhere.
"Brother Mu, do you think there's something wrong with those two people?" The companion next to him was confused.
"That's right!" A sharp light flashed in Mu Chen's eyes as he said, "Do you remember? The soul-chasing silkworm stopped in front of that door for a moment. There must be something weird inside the door! Maybe, the person we want to track down It’s hidden inside, just hidden by some means!”
Upon hearing this, the colleagues around him were suddenly shocked and said: "This is actually the case!"
When he realized it later, he broke into a cold sweat.
If the two of them had rushed in recklessly at that time, they might have died. They have seen that woman's methods before. If she is not careful, she can instantly kill their law enforcer.
Those two mysterious people are not easy to mess with. If they make one wrong move, they will be doomed.
Mu Chen was experienced and could tell at a glance that something was wrong, so he quickly returned home and asked for support.
Inside the Dongcheng District Law Enforcement Hall, an old man with a white beard walked out as soon as he entered the door.
"Mu Chen, are you sure the murderer is hiding there?" the white-bearded old man said.
"That's right! The opponent has at least three Void-Breaking Stages and other means such as the Immortal-Destroying Pearl. It is no longer something we can solve. I request the inner city to send support, but only you have the permission!" Mu Chen said with his fists in hand.
With the opponent's terrifying lineup, it would be difficult to use the Poxu mid-stage, at least the Poxu late stage, or even the Poxu Dzogchen would be safe.
As for the Dongcheng District Law Enforcement Hall, the most powerful combat power is only in the late Poxu stage.
"Okay, I'll contact the inner city right now!" The white-bearded old man took out the summons.
But at this moment, Mu Chen was suddenly startled and took out a message slip, and a voice came from it.
"Fellow Daoist Mu Chen, the criminal you want is hiding in my yard. He has been seriously injured by me. Come here quickly!"
This voice was the sound of Xu Hei's divine thoughts.
The jade slips of communication are disposable and disappear completely after use.
The three of them looked at each other and shot out instantly, rushing towards Xu Hei's yard as fast as possible.
…………
After a stick of incense.
When the three people arrived, they saw that the courtyard in front of them had disappeared and was replaced by a large pit thousands of feet wide, as if it had experienced a war.
There are still violent spiritual energy fluctuations here. To be able to cause such damage in Nanhuang City, the opponent must have used extremely powerful means.
Xu Hei was sitting far away with a pale face, his body covered in blood.
Black and yellow are also in tattered clothes, gray-haired and sluggish.
Seeing the three people approaching, Xu Hei quickly stood up and said: "You are finally here, the thief ran towards the east!"
"Hurry up!"
The leader, the white-bearded old man, chased towards the east without saying a word, and the three of them quickly disappeared.
A full hour passed.
After Mu Chen returned from afar, he came to Xu Hei and said, "Brother Xu, can you tell me about the situation at that time."
Xu Hei sighed and said, "I didn't know that woman was hiding underground. As soon as you left, she suddenly attacked and almost killed me! My companions and I fought desperately and finally injured that woman. It's a pity that we failed to kill her and let such a dangerous person escape."
Xu Hei showed hatred, regret and indignation.
"Brother Xu, don't blame yourself. Chasing the murderer is our job as law enforcers, but I have troubled you two. I am really ashamed!" Muchen said with a fist.
Xu Hei hurriedly said, "Brother Muchen, what are you talking about? Such a dangerous person is hiding in Nanhuang City. As monks in the city, we have the responsibility to maintain safety and we should do our duty!"
Xu Hei said without blushing, and even Hei Huang admired him.
Mu Chen immediately stood up in awe and took out two bottles of healing pills, giving one to Xu Hei and one to Hei Huang respectively.
The two of them took one pill without hesitation and began to refine it on the spot.
Not long after, the white-bearded old man also rushed back.
Xu Hei hurriedly asked, "Did you catch them?"
The white-bearded old man shook his head and said, "No, but I have blocked the city gates. The woman can't escape. As long as she is in Nanhuang City, it's only a matter of time before she is caught."
He looked at Xu Hei and Hei Huang, clasped his fists and said, "I am Yang Tianling, the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of Dongcheng District. I meet you two fellow Taoists."
Xu Hei and Hei Huang clasped their fists in return.
Yang Tianling clasped his fists and said, "You two have discovered the location of the thief and severely injured him. You have made great contributions. On behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, I would like to host a banquet for you two and send out the promised reward. I wonder if you can do me the honor?"
The banquet for the two was just a superficial excuse.
In fact, they had already discussed that they must win over the two people.
The Void-breaking cultivators without any sects are popular everywhere, and their official organization is no exception.
