Xuantian Law Envoy

Chapter 259 Mortals are nothing but ants
"Then the building is interesting."

Xu Qing said to the two of them.

Then he wandered around the "attic" carefully.

When Zhao Sihuai saw this scene, his eyelids twitched immediately.

Look at Xu Qing's appearance.

Maintaining so many "architectures" seems effortless.

This body of spiritual power is a little scary.

"what."

at this time.

Xu Qing let out a soft cry, which attracted the attention of both of them.

I saw him drifting to a corner of the "attic" and waved his hand lightly.

I saw a faint pit on the ground.

"what is this?"

Chen Yanzhi asked in surprise.

Looked at the ground around the attic though somewhat destroyed.

But no pitfalls like this one appeared.

It's as if this place has collapsed.

Zhao Sihuai also came over, with a puzzled look on his face, he said, "I'm afraid it was caused by falling rocks? What's so strange about that?"

Xu Qing turned to look at Zhao Sihuai first: "How deep can brother Zhao's spiritual consciousness go?"

Zhao Sihuai gave it a try, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sizhang."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "My spiritual consciousness can penetrate twenty feet deep."

"This is impossible!" Zhao Sihuai exclaimed suddenly.

Xu Qing smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Only then did Zhao Sihuai look at him in shock.

"Then what did Brother Xu find out?"

Zhao Sihuai had to believe that Xu Qing's consciousness could go so deep underground.

"Interesting discovery."

Xu Qing smiled slightly.

He turned his hand and took out a bloody long knife, but it was the standard weapon of the Beizhou law enforcement envoy brought to him by Yu Qingzi earlier.

Star Blood Knife.

Seeing the knife, Zhao Sihuai's eyes changed slightly, and he became nervous involuntarily.

"What's the matter, Brother Zhao?" Xu Qing was keenly aware of Zhao Sihuai's emotional changes, and asked with a smile.

Zhao Sihuai was startled, but smiled casually and said:
"Could this be the first-level magic weapon Star Blood Knife created by the alliance?"

Xu Qing nodded slightly, and while manipulating the bloody long knife to cut the soil on the deep pit, nodded and said:

"I didn't expect Brother Zhao to know him. That's right, this is the standard equipment for an alliance envoy."

But when he said this, a trace of doubt flashed in Xu Qing's heart inexplicably.

This Zhao Sihuai is just an inner disciple of Shenshuizong.

There are only a few troops in the entire alliance of the Northern State Law Envoy.

How did he know?
Zhao Sihuai shook his head quickly: "I've only heard about it, but I haven't seen it before."

Immediately he smiled slightly: "Brother Xu is using this magic weapon to dig the soil here? Is there some damage to the treasure?"

Xu Qing laughed and said, "Weapons are for use."

"Regardless of whether he is a primary magic weapon or a high-level magic weapon, is it possible that I confess him as my ancestor?"

Chen Yanzhi nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Then he took out a light blue long sword and manipulated it to dig a hole.

It is also an elementary magic weapon.

"I'll help too."

Chen Yanzhi said positively.

Watching the two digging hard here.

For a moment, Zhao Sihuai didn't know whether to help or stay away so as not to hinder them.

While he was hesitating.

Xu Qing moved extremely quickly and already dug a deep pit that was ten feet deep.

And in this pit.

There was an abandoned and collapsed stone tunnel.

The entire tunnel is filled with gravel and mud, and if you don't observe carefully, you really can't see it.

"A secret passage!!"

Chen Yanzhi said excitedly, so she worked harder.

Seems to be very interested in discovering other people's secrets.

soon.

The secret passage was cleared out by them.

Xu Qing took the lead and walked into the secret passage, and found that the secret passage led to a deeper underground.

"Brother Xu, I don't understand."

At this moment, Zhao Sihuai frowned.

"Aren't we looking for the murderer who killed Zhao Rui, the patriarch of Yuzong?"

"What's the use of digging these tunnels here now?"

This time, Xu Qing didn't speak yet.

Chen Yanzhi said directly with contempt: "You don't understand this? Of course it works."

"If we can know what Zhao Rui, the patriarch of Yuzong, is doing here in the middle of the night, maybe we can understand the reason why the murderer killed him."

"After all, he is a majestic suzerain, so he won't be assassinated by others for no reason?"

"There must be a reason."

"And finding out exactly what Zhao Rui did to be assassinated may help us find the murderer."

"Because he is very likely to have a great connection with what Zhao Rui did."

"Besides, in the sect, Zhao Rui must have some secrets to build such a building and dig an underground passage."

"Dig out this secret, maybe we will know who the murderer is?"

"Don't worry, no matter what secret he has, neither of us will tell it."

Hearing what Chen Yanzhi said, Zhao Sihuai could only smile bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll leave it to you two."

"If there are really any shady secrets here, please keep them secret."

"I will report to Master."

"Presumably his old man certainly doesn't mind paying some price."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "It's easy to say, I'm not a rigid person."

Only then did Zhao Sihuai breathe a sigh of relief.

As the secret passage in front of him was continuously dredged.

The three went deep into the underground mountain all the way, and finally came to a very severely collapsed underground space.

When she saw the objects left in front of her eyes and the smell in the air, Chen Yanzhi's face suddenly darkened.

"Living Alchemy!"

She exclaimed, her voice full of chills.

"It turns out that the mortals who disappeared are all here."

"Yeah, it seems to be the case, brother Zhao, do you know that Zhao Rui uses living people to make alchemy here?"

Xu Qing asked indifferently.

Zhao Sihuai shook his head: "How do I know that?"

"But Brother Zhao doesn't look shocked at all." Xu Qingyi pointed out.

Zhao Sihuai frowned: "There is no need to show the shock in my heart? After all, he is my master's son, so I can't say anything."

Xu Qing nodded, expressing his understanding: "Okay, I probably know why Zhao Rui died."

Zhao Sihuai and Chen Yanzhi were shocked at the same time.

Chen Yanzhi quickly asked: "You mean that the person who killed Zhao Rui discovered his secret?"

Xu Qing squinted at Zhao Sihuai and said with a smile, "I probably guessed what's going on."

"However, I have to look again."

With that said, he turned and walked outside.

"Didn't you check carefully here, huh?" Chen Yanzhi asked.

Xu Qing shook his head: "No need, since we know the reason, there's no need to look it up here."

"Because there should be little relationship with the murderer here, and the probability of the other party leaving traces here is too small."

Walking out of the underground tunnel, Zhao Sihuai's face was a little cloudy.

Taking the attic as the center, Xu Qing walked around the mountain again, and finally found a lot of grain scattered on the roadside at the foot of the mountain.

Xu Qing said directly to the two, "I think it must be so."

"Do you remember what those people in the village we passed by when we came here said?"

He looked at Chen Yanzhi and asked.

Chen Yanzhi nodded.

Xu Qing continued: "First of all, if the people of Yuzong intend to use people to make alchemy, then they must find a way to arrest people in a way that others can hardly detect."

"And thus, a nefarious plan was born."

"It should be that Zhao Rui cast some kind of spell, or with the help of some magic weapon, which caused the drought for thousands of miles around. It didn't rain all year round, and the people had no crops."

"This is the cause of drought and famine."

"Drought and famine create refugees."

"And Zhao Rui took this opportunity to distribute food, which attracted many people to Yuzong to ask for food."

"Among these people, Zhao Rui arrested most of them and released a small number."

"Most of the people who were captured were refined into blood pills by him in that secret place in the sect."

"And the small part that was released has become the best way for Yuzong to publicize."

"They wander around, telling people that the Rain Sect will distribute food, so as to attract more mortals to come."

"And this incident was accidentally discovered."

"The other party wants to kill evil and eliminate evil—er, cough cough, in short, he killed Zhao Rui because of it."

What Xu Qing said made Zhao Sihuai feel helpless, but he couldn't refute.

And Chen Yanzhi said directly: "Hey, let alone him, even if I know about this, I will not hesitate to eliminate harm for the people."

Chen Yanzhi glanced at Zhao Sihuai: "Even in front of that master, I dare to say that."

Zhao Sihuai's expression became even more embarrassing.

But Xu Qing didn't seem to notice and continued: "According to Elder Zhao, as soon as Zhao Rui died, he got the news and rushed over immediately."

"I think, Elder Zhao's father, senior Zhao Zhun, the dignified deacon of Qingzhou, wouldn't ignore the death of his only grandson, would he?"

"After arriving here, the two discovered what Zhao Rui had done."

"He killed all the members of the Yu Zongmen in a fit of rage."

"At the same time, destroy Yuzong to hide the crimes committed by Zhao Rui."

"To do this, it's a piece of cake for a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"It also just explained the death vision of the disciples of Yuzong that we discovered earlier."

"But just like this, they naturally cannot appease their anger. Although Zhao Rui made a mistake, he is their relative after all."

"The vengeance of killing their son and grandson made them eager to find the murderer and take revenge."

"That's why they didn't completely raze this place to the ground, but left as much of the scene as possible while destroying Zhao Rui's secrets."

"So, I, who have recently gained fame in Northern State, became their primary target."

"Thus, there is such an embarrassing scene now."

"I first discovered Zhao Rui's crime and the secret they were trying to hide."

"Instead of finding clues to the murderer."

"Brother Zhao, tell us what to do next, what should we do?"

Xu Qing turned to look at Zhao Sihuai with a helpless smile.

Chen Yanzhi's expression tightened, and she also looked at Zhao Sihuai.

The two didn't expect it.

Zhao Sihuai smiled suddenly, as if he didn't mind what Xu Qing said just now.

He even shook his head: "Brother Xu's so-called crime is nothing more than killing some mortals."

"It's just some ants that died, why care?"

Hearing this, Xu Qing smiled brighter.

And Chen Yanzhi's face darkened instantly.
