"The way of heaven is clear and scattered!"

Baili Hong shone his sleeves, and a golden light shone on the old man. At this time, the jade talisman in the old man's hand was also crushed, but his body did not teleport out.

"how so!?"

The old man murmured in disbelief, and saw a string of bright blood flowers floating, and one of the old man's arm was picked out.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The old man screamed and fell to the ground, no longer as calm as he had when he first met him.

"Sir, please spare my life..."

The old man covered the wound on his shoulder and his face turned pale quickly. Even so, he did not stabilize his injuries at the first time and kept kowtowing to Qin Lan.

Qin Lan stepped on the old man on the ground, "Next, I'll ask you a question. If you dare to play tricks with me, I'll kill you immediately!"

Qin Lan's voice was cold without any emotion, "First of all, where is the Taixu Divine Palace?"

The old man's expression froze and he whispered: "In fact, there is no Taixu Divine Palace. It's just that a secret realm appeared near Hengshen Mountain in the early years. Many people have gained opportunities from it. Now what we are leading is part of the inheritance of the Taixu Divine Palace that we obtained at that time."

The secret realm is a space hidden by ancient powerful people using secret techniques to continuously inherit the sects. It will only be open to the outside world by chance.

"It turned out to be just a group of fish..."

Qin Lan sneered, "What are you going to do to extract the souls of children everywhere in Fuying City?"

The old man stuttered and replied: "It was the Lord who asked us to do this... He has learned some kind of secret method of soul that can absorb the souls of others into his own power. For this reason, this formation is also needed to maintain energy."

It seems that I'm thinking right...

Qin Lan touched her chin, and her thoughts were woven

The result is now obvious. Someone in the government colluded with evil ways, and the dead were thrown here, and the corpse turned into nutrients to maintain the formation, condensing resentment.

"Two years ago, you brought people to intercept the disaster relief funds in Ganzhou. Why did you do this?"

The old man tried hard to recall: "Some records of Taixu Divine Palace, a powerful man in the ancient power of Tongtiantai once left a special jewel in Ganzhou. It is said that the treasure can foresee the future and summon disasters. Only the descendants of Tongtiantai, the sword guards of the current emperor, and the token of the Zhai clan!"

"So we found out that person who escorted the disaster relief funds that time, and after taking action, we got the token but did not find the orb. Later, this matter was temporarily put on hold."

Qin Lan's eyes shook, Baozhu? Could it be the one that was chopped down by herself? He accidentally destroyed a rare treasure!?

"You are lying! I have never heard the elders in my family mention the origin of the family. You obviously have other purposes, so why don't you explain honestly!"

Zhai Qingfeng was a little excited and placed the knife on the old man's neck, as if he was about to cut it down in the next second.

The old man's body didn't dare to move, and his voice trembled:

"I didn't lie to you. Your family's unique skills, Yu Tiance, is the core inheritance of Tongtiantai back then. And holding the demon sword Naraku in your hand is the best proof, because the woman the little monk fell in love with was a core disciple of Tongtiantai back then!"

Zhai Qingfeng's body shook. He had never heard the clan elders talk about this before, and now he had no chance to ask again. His family had long been exterminated by Emperor Xia Wu.

"You can leave after answering the last question."

Qin Lan said calmly: "Where is the Lord you said in your mouth now?"

“In the city…”

The old man was delighted, and as soon as he spit out two words, a ferocious crack suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, and his seven orifices slowly oozed blood, and his body fell obliquely to the ground.

Qin Lan and others were all shocked. Qin Lan looked forward and found that the old man had no hope of life.

Qin Lan's face looked ugly, "This is a kind of ban that has been planted by someone! As long as you say the information about that person, your soul will be immediately shattered!"

Zhai Qingfeng thrust the knife hard on the ground, "The grass, the clue that I finally got was broken now!"

Baili Hong said with a headache: "What should we do now?"

Qin Lan said in a deep voice: "We may have already alarmed the enemy now. This formation has been destroyed. In addition, the person's ban was triggered just now, so the master behind the scenes must have noticed that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the bright spots. Be careful in the next action, otherwise it will be easy for the other party to run away, so we will act separately next!"

Qin Lan paused, "I want to figure out why they must catch so many children now. I think the truth must have something to do with this formation. Mr. Zhu, please study this formation more in the next days."

"yes!"

Zhu Hong clasped his fists, then picked up a branch and copied it repeatedly on the ground.

"The next thing is the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. The man just said that the secret realm appeared in Hengshen Mountain. Logically speaking, the first person to discover the secret realm should be Hengshen Temple, so I plan to go to Hengshen Mountain in person to see if I can find useful clues."

"Qingfeng, Baili Hong, what is certain now is that this person is either in the county government or in the city lord's mansion. Next, you must explore these two places clearly. If you encounter suspicious people, don't rush to act, wait for me to come back."

Zhai Qingfeng and Baili Hong nodded slightly. Before they knew it, they had already regarded Qin Lan as the leader.

"Then it's like this, let's break up!"

Qin Lan flew out in the opposite direction of Fuying City. Zhai Qingfeng and Baili Hong sighed at Qin Lan's thunderous and decisive behavior, and the three of them rushed to the city with Zhu Hong!

The next day, outside the county government, there were already people around before the hour, and the young couple was still shaking their heads to the ground.

"Sir, just go and inform us. Although we are just ordinary families, our children cannot die so unknown!"

"Sir, we contradicted you yesterday, I kowtowed you here!"

The doorman's expression remained unchanged, as if he had become accustomed to what was happening in front of him.

"Two, the yamen has to deal with a lot of things every day. Do you have any trouble in your family? If you have news, you will tell you. Don't hinder official business here!"

The woman lay on the ground and cried heartbrokenly, "Do you have no children? I have lost so many children in the city recently. Don't you know the mood of being a parent?"

The man hugged her and gritted his teeth and said, "We don't need you to investigate the case anymore. Please return our child's body and we will deal with it ourselves!"

The guard glared at him and said loudly: "This is not OK. Are you playing with the government? You want the government to come over to make a fuss. Now that you don't do it, you'll make another fuss. Do you believe it or not? You'll arrest you for your mistakes!?"

In the crowd, Baili Hong clenched his fists, "Brother Qingfeng, this person is simply too bullying!"

Zhai Qingfeng said in a cold voice: "How could this poor couple know that these wine bags had already lost the body!"

Zhai Qingfeng left the crowd and greeted: "Let's go, take advantage of the fact that everyone's eyes are attracted by them now, let's sneak in from behind and see what's going on inside!"

The two of them were sank into the crowd, and several of them came to the back of the county government.

"Did you see clearly the face of the person who caused trouble that day?"

The voice of a middle-aged man came from inside, and Zhai Qingfeng saw the magistrate wearing an official uniform kneeling on the ground tremblingly.

"Report to the Lord...No..."

The middle-aged man kicked the magistrate aside and said in a cold voice: "Baste, what's the use of raising you?? Let me tell you, hurry up and get rid of the couple outside!?"

Zhai Qingfeng and Baili Hong looked at each other, tacitly concealed their breath, intending to continue listening.

From Zhai Qingfeng's perspective, the middle-aged man's voice was cold.

"The soul-summoning and soul-locking array I left behind has been destroyed. Someone must have noticed it. Recently, I have properly controlled the rumors and let people come out to play more activities."

The magistrate hesitated and said, "But if this is the case, will the quality of the soul not decrease?"

"It's not close..."

Just as Zhai Qingfeng was about to see the man's side face clearly, the man's eyes changed and he blasted out two spiritual powers in the direction of them.

"who!"

Zhai Qingfeng and the others quickly flew away with the rising dust, and the middle-aged man sneered a cold sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"A group of little mice, do you think it will be a big deal if you break my small formation? Look at me, don't you make you puppets!"

In the inn, Zhu Hong was studying the formation, and a pen was back and forth on the paper, drawing mysterious runes.

Suddenly two figures flew in, and the blowing air scattered the drawings on Zhu Hong's table.

Zhu Hong said dissatisfiedly: "I said you two are so panicked, can't you come in slowly?"

Zhai Qingfeng's face looked a little ugly, "That guy's soul is so sharp, and his cultivation should be no less than that of me!"

Zhu Hong was shocked, "What are you doing?"

Baili Hong said dryly: "We are in the back of the county government, where we met an eighth-grade soul cultivator!"

Then the two of them repeated the words they heard to Zhu Hong. Zhu Hong thought for a moment and said slowly:

"I just studied this formation and saw something. This will explain why those guys clearly need people to extract their souls, but they still have to guide the wind and prevent people from coming out."

Zhu Hong paused, "This formation requires a soul that is extremely frightened or resentful before death, and the one who is most likely to have such emotions is children, so in order to ensure the quality, people in the city are in panic."

"But now it seems that the guy is a little anxious, and the formation will inevitably have some flaws. Next, we have to protect the people while pulling out that person!"

Zhai Qingfeng and Baili Hong fell into deep thought at the same time. The city that the old man mentioned last night was the only one who could control the entire city and the magistrate...

City Lord’s Mansion!

Zhai Qingfeng said in a calm voice: "It seems that we are going to the City Lord's Mansion tonight!"
