late at night.

The entire Huajing City seemed to be on fire, suddenly boiling, and the situation gradually escalated.

First, a large number of soldiers and officers shuttled on both sides of the canals and rivers in the city, constantly looking for something along the canals and rivers. There were also people fishing in the water along the canals and Donghua River to look for corpses.

"Quick, quick, quick."

"What's wrong?"

"Something happened."

"Someone in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion suddenly disappeared. This person must be found quickly."

"Maybe he slipped and fell into the water. This person has a different identity. His body must be found."

"They are all dead. How can we find this corpse after it fell into the Donghua River?"

"Not only is this person's identity very important, but the most important thing is that he is a member of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Who knows if he has any magic weapon with him, so he will naturally want to find it."

"How could such a person with supernatural powers fall into the water and drown?"

"Could it be that I was harmed by a powerful ghost in the water?"

"What the hell, can something like this happen in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion?"

Not long afterward, these soldiers and officers received the news that they were not required to find anyone and were asked to go back individually.

"Why aren't you looking for it again?"

"Already found?"

"Don't ask anymore, I won't be looking for you anyway."

"It's really weird——"

On the way back from their duties, these soldiers saw even more bizarre sights.

There are dragon shadows roaring in the river, and some people even see the shadows of ghosts and gods haunting the Donghua River, calling someone's name.

"roar!"

Only then did everyone realize that things had escalated.

I just asked them to look for it, it was still a human matter.

And now, even the dragons swimming in the river and the ghosts and gods on the shore began to look for traces of the man named Xiong Hai.

When things have reached this point, mortals like them can no longer intervene in this matter.

At this moment.

Taoist Danhe from the Taoist sect, monks from the Buddhist Reincarnation Temple, and Jia Gui from Si Tiantai rushed to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion overnight.

Taoist Danhe was riding a carriage through the long street. When he heard the roar of the dragon, he felt as if there was a thunder falling from the sky.

Taoist Danhe opened the curtain and looked outside.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that something big happened?"

It was pitch dark outside, but the Taoist had a bad premonition.

When the group arrived at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, everyone was still confused and didn't know what happened.

Taoist Danhe looked around the hall, but did not find that figure.

"Where is Lord Linghua?"

The shaman in the palace replied: "Lord Linghua will arrive shortly."

The monk asked: "Why did you summon us here in such a hurry in the middle of the night? When we came here, we saw someone outside saying that something happened to someone in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, and we saw ghosts and gods coming to the realm. Could it be because of this?"

The wizard in the palace still said: "Lord Linghua will know later, please wait a moment."

The monks and Taoists looked at Jia Gui at this time: "Donor Jia, does he know what happened?"

Jia Gui shook his head: "Jia only knows that Xiong Hai lost his footing and fell into the river while offering sacrifices to the witch, but he doesn't know the rest."

But the three of them were all confused. Falling into the river while worshiping a witch was not a small matter, but it didn't seem to be a big deal either. The matter seemed not that simple.

The night is gloomy.

There was faint thunder in the sky, but no rain fell.

Lord Linghua was standing by the pool at this moment, frowning and looking at the water.

"Going north?"

"The Divine Face of Heavenly Works has been found, together with the golden dragon in blue water."

"The dragon lantern also sensed it and threw it into the Huai River."

"He's missing?"

"Let the golden dragon in the green pool come back, and then come and repay me quickly."

Today was the day to sacrifice to the gods. During the day, her soul wandered around. When the whole ceremony was over, it was almost dark. Only then did the people in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion realize that Xiong Hai, the witch priest, was missing.

"Gone?"

"Did you go somewhere?"

"Hurry and look for it."

At first, the people in the Imperial Prefect's Office didn't pay much attention. They just asked people to check whether he had gone out somewhere or whether he was doing something somewhere in the palace.

But during this investigation, I discovered something.

"Someone saw the robes of witches floating on the water channel beside the pond."

At this time, everyone just thought that Xiong Hai had fallen into the water.

So he began to report the news of Xiong Hai's death by drowning to Lord Linghua in panic, and immediately mobilized people in the city to search for Xiong Hai's "body" in the ditch.

At this moment, no one was fully aware of what Xiong Hai had done.

After all, no one knows about the elixir. At most, they know that Lord Linghua seems to be a little unusual recently.

"Xiong Hai fell into the water?"

When she first reported to Lord Linghua, she didn't realize it all at once.

He just asked people to search for the corpse in the water. After all, it was this time. If he really fell into the water, it would be impossible to save him.

Lord Linghua did not use magic to find out. Although he had magic, it generally did not involve ghosts and gods. If it was just a human matter, he would still use human means to solve it.

Spells are not something that can be used lightly, so they should be treated with a sense of awe.

But when they got to the palace, Lord Linghua asked and found out that Xiong Hai had been there during the day to get things needed to worship the gods.

A moment.

Lord Linghua felt something was wrong.

He immediately entered the palace and took a look to see if there was anything missing. He found that his dragon lantern was missing, and he was also missing the ghostly appearance of the Tiangong clan.

It was immediately clear that Xiong Hai had not disappeared, but had escaped.

"Introduction to the dragon lantern?"

"Ghost face?"

Lord Linghua thought about the use of these two things and what they could accomplish, and then he said something.

"No, the golden dragon in the green pool."

Then Lord Linghua traveled out with the soul of the God of Heaven. In an instant, he turned into a line of light and shadow and passed through the realm of yin and yang to the pool, where he found that the golden dragon in the pool was also gone.

It was also completely confirmed that Xiong Hai was not dead, but also escaped with the elixir.

At this moment by that pool of water.

Lord Linghua also trembled in his heart when he saw this situation.

"Sure enough, that Xiong Hai stole the elixir."

For a moment, Lord Linghua felt as if his nightmare had come true.

She fears and worries about situations that may happen, and then tries her best to prevent and prevent those situations from happening.

In the end, it was discovered that it was precisely because of the series of measures he took to prevent and prevent the nightmare from coming true that in the end the worst situation occurred.

"Did my inner demons cause all this, or did the inner demons control me?"

But while she was shocked, she suddenly remembered the scene where she saw Yun Zhongjun in the Great Sun Palace today.

At that time, Yun Zhongjun suddenly looked outside the palace and seemed to have discovered something.

"Sure enough, this elixir makes people obsessed!"

Later, I even said two things.

Lord Linghua suddenly understood.
