Chapter 178

Zuo Qiuming, the shadow guard who was watching the wind at the front door of Mo Mansion, glanced around and saw that Wutong Lane was quiet and nothing unusual. He ducked and entered the yard. He saw a pile of bones that had turned into pus, and his eyes flashed. Bright:

"Uncle, have you found any clues?"

Another shadow guard, Leng Wutian, frowned when he saw Zuo Qiuming coming in:

"Didn't I ask you to look out for the wind? Why did you run in?"

"Aren't I concerned about you, uncle? Uncle, you haven't answered me yet."

There is only one star on the shoulder of Zuo Qiuming's black robe.

Leng Wutian was engraved with two stars.

Apparently.

Leng Wutian is at a higher level in the Shadow Sect.

He glanced at Zuo Qiuming. He did not act according to the plan. He left his post without permission and questioned his superior. If it had been any other subordinate, he would have slapped him in the face. But the other subordinate was the posthumous son of his eldest sister. He sighed, "It's a must." He said sincerely:

"Qiu Ming, in the future you must never be as reckless as you are today. There are strict rules in the door and a detailed division of labor. If you leave your post without authorization, your boss can directly execute you on the spot. And I have told you how many times , you are not allowed to call me uncle when performing official duties!"

"Oh, I understand, Uncle Leng."

Zuo Qiuming pouted, somewhat disapproving.

A pair of eyes fixedly looked at Leng Wutian, with curiosity on his face.

Seeing this, Leng Wutian knew that the other party had the character of asking for answers, so he could only nod slightly.

"real?!"

Zuo Qiuming was overjoyed.

He was so excited that he jumped on the spot.

excitedly said:

"Brother-in-law, we have made a great contribution this time. You have obtained the Ning Yuan Dan that has advanced to the Yuan Dan realm!"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Seeing that his nephew was still like a child, Leng Wutian felt doting and helpless.

but.

He has been at the peak of Tianyuan Realm for more than ten years, but due to the lack of Yuan Condensing Pill, he has been unable to break through.

This time it was a chance.

I accidentally learned that Huang Baihu in Huangguang Town had a biological sister:

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's find a place near the city gate to spend the night. We will leave as soon as the city gate opens early tomorrow morning."

Zuo Qiuming was stunned for a moment.

He hesitated and said:

"Brother-in-law, why don't we return the clues directly to Master Yue Yue?"

"Just listen to me."

Lord Yue Yue Qiuchan is a three-star shadow guard and Leng Wutian's direct superior.

In the early years.

Leng Wutian and Yue Qiuchan entered the Shadow Guard in the same batch, and they were close friends at the time.

I don’t know what happened to the two of them later, and their relationship became worse and worse. After Yue Qiuchan became her boss, she also made things difficult for Leng Wutian, and even concealed Leng Wutian’s contribution many times. This was also one of Leng Wutian’s ten Several years have passed, and this is one of the reasons why he still hasn't been able to raise a Yuan Ning Dan.

Therefore.

Leng Wutian knew.

Once he sends this clue to Yue Qiuchan.

The other party will definitely take the credit and record it in his own name.

"Still not leaving?!"

Leng Wutian turned around and glared at Zuo Qiuming, who was stunned on the spot.

Wutong Lane.

After using the breath-containing technique and wearing invisibility cloaks, Fu Shaoping and his two men just arrived a hundred steps away from Mo Mansion. Fu Shaoping's nose twitched and he raised his hand and said:

"etc!"

Pi Xiu paused.

He looked at Fu Shaoping doubtfully.

Fu Shaoping frowned and said:

“Someone was one step ahead of us.”

The faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

If I guess correctly.

The people who were one step ahead of them should be the people from the Shadow Sect.

Pi Xiu had obviously thought of it, his body was shaken, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes:

"Brother, what should we do now? Turn back and find the Qingyang County Magistrate?"

The Shadow Sect not only killed Huang Baihu in Huangguang Town, but also killed the deputy Qianhu sent down from above. This shows that the people dispatched by the Shadow Sect this time are at least at the Tianyuan level. How can the two of them be at the Earth Yuan level? To deal with.

Accidentally.

I'm afraid I'm going to hate myself on the spot.

Fu Shaoping was still calm. He glanced at the surrounding courtyards and pointed to the small courtyard next to Mo Mansion:

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first."

Said.

His body flashed.

After several jumps, he entered the small courtyard.

Stepping on the high courtyard wall:

"Pixiu, do you have the tracking bug with you?"

"I'm taking it with me."

Pi Xiu's eyes lit up. The tracking bug in his hand was most suitable for tracking as long as he didn't encounter a strong person in the Yuan Dan realm. He patted the spirit beast bag excitedly, and with a flash of light, a silver-white little finger-long looking bug appeared. The track bug sank into the ground.

The two of them stared at Mo Mansion next door motionless.

It's been a while.

There was no movement in Mo Mansion.

Pi Xiu couldn't help but said:

"Brother, how about we climb over the wall and get in?"

"Wait a minute!"

Fu Shaoping was not sure if the people inside were gone.

The words have not yet fallen.

Pi Xiu suddenly became excited, and he lowered his voice and said:

"Brother, someone from Mo Mansion has come out, and there are two of them!"

But the naked eye saw nothing.

Apparently.

This person from the Shadow Sect must have used some secret technique to hide their figure.

Fu Shaoping said:

"Pi Xiu, please continue to let the tracking bug follow the two of them. Remember, no matter what you see, remember not to act rashly."

He decided to split up.

Finished.

Fu Shaoping kicked off the wall with his toes and landed lightly in the opposite yard.

In the courtyard.

The strong smell of blood filled the entire space.

However, no one alive could be found in the entire Mo Mansion, not even a corpse was seen. The breeze blew the red silk and red lanterns hanging everywhere. From the scene, it can be seen that the birthday banquet has just ended:

"The people from the Shadow Sect are really cruel and ruthless."

Enough to be visible.

What Shadow Gate is looking for is so precious.

I don't intend to leave any clues to them.

After searching around Mo Mansion, no abnormality was found. Fu Shaoping did not delay and immediately retreated from the courtyard. After coming out of Wutong Lane, he directly took a night boat, crossed the moat, and arrived at the gate of the inner city. body shape.

The guards at the city gate immediately became alert:

"Whoever breaks into the inner city at night, tell me your name!"

Fu Shaoping didn't say anything, he just threw the identity token into the air. The guard caught it, glanced at it, and was shocked. A beam of light fell on Fu Shaoping. After confirming that it was correct, he immediately threw a line from the city wall. Step on the ladder rope.

Step on the ladder rope with your feet.

A few flashes.

Fu Shaoping stood on the top of the city.

The guard quickly saluted:

"Master General Banner, you are entering the city overnight, but you have something important to do?"

"Can the county magistrate be in the city?"

"The county magistrate has gone to Fucheng. Lord Commander-in-Chief, County Magistrate Cui is still in the city. Can you lead the way?"

The magistrate of Qingyang County is not here? !

Fu Shaoping frowned.

This is troublesome. The Fu family and the Cui family don't deal with each other at all, and he and Cui Xiancheng also dislike each other.

But if you want to lay a dragnet and capture the people of the Shadow Gate, in the current situation, you can only seek the help of Cui County Cheng. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to capture the people after the Shadow Gate leaves the county:

"Then please help me lead the way."

"No trouble, no trouble. Lord General Banner, please wait a moment. I have a few words to explain to the brother who is on duty at night."

Guard Zhang entered the arrow tower. After a while, a guard inside walked out sleepily. In an arrow tower, two people took turns. Guard Zhang who led Fu Shaoping was obviously in the middle of the night.

Zhang Weiwei's cultivation level is also in the Earth Yuan realm. Fu Shaoping came to visit late at night, and he knew that the situation was urgent without asking.

Therefore.

He also walks extremely fast.

Less than half a cup of tea.

The two of them stayed in the backyard of the government office. Guard Zhang knocked on the door and said a few words to the doorman. After hearing this, the doorman nodded quickly. He recognized Fu Shaoping. He was the leader of the alchemy competition.

The boy has no nonsense.

He turned around and jogged all the way to Wutian Garden where Cui County Cheng was resting.

Cui Xiancheng, who was meditating and practicing, heard Fu Shaoping's request for an audience and refused without thinking. In the alchemy competition, Fu Shaoping won the first place, causing him to lose and lose everything. To this day, he has not repaired the big hole. .

Every time I think about this.

He hated it so much.

But.

The words come to your lips.

He paused again.

The other party came late at night, and he knew that he didn't want to see the other party. From this point of view, he really encountered something difficult.

Fu Shaoping is now the chief bannerman. If something happens to Qingniu Town, Mo Baihu will naturally come to them. If they come to him now, it means something happened to their county!

Think about this.

Cui Xiancheng immediately stood up from the futon.

Last time.

Fu Shaoping unveiled the list and did not ask for help in apprehending the immortal flower-picking thief. Now that his cultivation level is higher, he needs support. Thinking of the tragedy of killing hundreds of Huanghuang households in Huangguang Town, Cui Xiancheng immediately thought of the Shadow Gate:

"No way, this Shadow Sect actually came to the county seat, damn it!"

He just chose a time when the magistrate was not around.

The stakes are high.

Nor can he avoid it:

"Go and invite people in."

After a while.

Fu Shaoping was led into the courtyard by his servant.

If it's about grade.

The general flag is half a step lower than the county magistrate.

Fu Shaoping cupped his hands: "Sir."

Cui Xian Cheng nodded slightly, waved his hand, and stepped back. His tone of voice still showed alienation and a bit of resentment: "What do you want from me?"

Fu Shaoping did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly:

"Reporting to your lord, after arriving in the county today, I wanted to stay overnight in the outer city. I happened to find that more than a hundred people in the Mo Mansion in Wutong Lane were killed. The murderer also destroyed the bodies and wiped out traces. Following along, we found out This massacre was committed by the Shadow Clan, and the murderer is currently in the outer city. "

He really is from the Shadow Gate.

But why did the Shadow Clan want to kill people from the Mo family?

Cui County Cheng was confused:

"Have you found out their motive?"

"No"

"Then how many of them entered the city this time, and what are their cultivation levels?"

"The two of them have unknown cultivation levels."

Fu Shaoping is still in the Earth Yuan realm. He cannot release his spiritual consciousness and does not have clairvoyance. It is common sense that he cannot see the opponent's cultivation level.

Cui County Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Okay, I know it!"

Since the opponent did not leave the city overnight, it meant that they could not break through the defensive formation in the outer city.

Infer from this.

The cultivation level of these two shadow guards should not have reached the Yuan Dan realm.

Think about this.

Cui Xiancheng immediately became excited.

This is the credit of delivering it to your door.

If he solves an unsolved case that even the Zhenwu Division has not solved, it will be a great achievement:

"Mr. Fu Qi, thank you for your hard work. Please go to the outer room to rest. I will handle the rest."

Cui Xiancheng's eyes signaled that Fu Shaoping should be sent out.

Regarding County Magistrate Cui's attempt to steal the credit.

This was within his expectation.

Fu Shaoping did not stay in the government office, but wore an invisible cloak and followed the government office's troops out of the inner city.

This time.

In order to be foolproof.

County Magistrate Cui gathered all the Tianyuan Realm warriors in the government office, and the six of them quietly lurked in the hiding place of the two shadow guards provided by Fu Shaoping.

Fu Shaoping sent a message and called Pi Xiu back.

Pi Xiu was unwilling:

"Brother, we obviously found this shadow guard, but looking at County Magistrate Cui's posture, it is clear that he wants to take the credit for himself, and he will definitely not tell us if he finds something from the shadow guard. In this way, aren't we making wedding clothes for others and working in vain?!"

"No hurry"

Fu Shaoping looked like he was sure of victory.

Seeing this.

The original resentment in his heart disappeared instantly.

When has the eldest brother ever done a business at a loss? It is obvious that the eldest brother has thought of an emergency plan.

Pi Xiu also calmed down.

In the distance.

Six Tianyuan Realm warriors have surrounded the residences of the two shadow guards.

In order to be foolproof.

County Magistrate Cui came to the central hub of the outer city defense formation alone at this time. He saw him cast a spell one by one. The next moment, the originally dark outer city hummed and lit up with bright white light. The entire protective formation was completely awakened in a few breaths!

The two shadow guards Zuo Qiuming and Leng Wutian who were hiding in the firewood room of the residential building suddenly looked up.

Seeing this scene.

Shadow guard Leng Wutian's pupils shrank:

"Oh no, our whereabouts have been discovered!"

At a critical moment.

When the formation light shield closed.

The shadow guard quickly took out a mother-child communication jade talisman, and a spell was cast into it. The jade talisman was instantly activated: "Master Yue, I have found the secret of No. 1, but I am trapped in Qingyang County with you. Request for support!"

As soon as the voice fell.

The white light of the jade talisman lit up and then disappeared.

The shadow guard Zuo Qiuming's eyes flashed with panic:

"Uncle, what should we do now?"

"I will go out and lead the people away in a while. You take the opportunity to slip out and find a place to hide well. Don't worry, other shadow guards will definitely come to rescue us!"

As he said.

Leng Wutian raised his hand and slapped a talisman on Zuo Qiuming.

Zuo Qiuming's figure immediately disappeared completely.

Leng Wutian kicked his toes and quickly climbed out of the window. He rushed to the master bedroom at a very fast speed. His left and right hands quickly held two hostages. Seeing this scene, the six Tianyuan Realm warriors who were besieging him paused their attacks.

In the woodshed.

Zuo Qiuming took this opportunity and immediately escaped into the ground.

However.

What he didn't know was that.

A tracking insect was following him closely.

In the center of the formation.

County Magistrate Cui saw that the six Tianyuan Realm warriors had not made any move, and immediately said in a cold voice:

"Why are you nagging? Do it immediately and don't let this thief escape!"

As soon as the voice fell.

Leng Wutian sneered.

He threw the two hostages in his hand into the air and collided with the attacks of the six warriors. Instantly, blood mist erupted and fell all over the courtyard.

Leng Wutian flashed.

He stepped on the Tianyun Sword and was about to leave, but a huge silver net covered his head.
