Chapter 79 Dead?

"There is no Pill Artifact Pavilion." The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "The Pill Artifact Pavilion mainly sells various auxiliary materials. We use the main materials to refine magical artifacts by ourselves, and then take them to the Soul Dream House for auction, or put them on the alchemy. It is sold in the trading hall of Qige, and there are very few individual main materials for sale."

"Oh!" Yao Guo pursed his lips in disappointment, "Does the senior know where I can find Yunni?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "If each material had a fixed location, then the prices of weapons and elixirs wouldn't be so high."

"..."

When Yao Guo arrived at the gate of Pill Artifact Pavilion, Qiu Ling and Gu Yezhou had already been waiting there for a long time, and the sky also turned pale.

"Let's go!" Yao Guo took out the flying carpet, and Qiu Ling and Gu Yezhou sat on it in a tacit understanding. As for Xiao Yin, although he said very little, he followed her all the time, just like her. the shadow of...

"Shall we go to Hanyue collar now?" Qiu Ling said excitedly.

"Well, let me take a look at the map first." Yao Guo pulled out the map, then pointed to the territories on it and said, "We have to pass through eight territories on the way, and the journey is long. If we take a flying carpet, it will take at least two years It takes time to reach the Cold Moon Territory."

"Wouldn't it be that he can't keep up with the Qiu family's martial arts competition?" Gu Yezhou said worriedly.

"So, when we arrived at the next territory, we changed to the flying mount Griffin." Yao Guo said calmly.

The flying speed of the griffin is very fast, and each griffin has the strength of the early stage of the Zifu period. The griffin is considered to be one of the higher-level spirit beasts domesticated by humans.

Of course, if you want to ride a griffin mount, the price is also very expensive. You need 100 yuan of high-grade spirit stones every day. It will take at least a month to rush from the next territory to Hanyue collar. The four of them are 1 yuan A top-grade spirit stone.

When Yao Guo's flying carpet was about to fly out of Junbi City, it was stopped by several guards patrolling the sky, "Several, I'm very sorry, because Miss Muxue, the daughter of the city lord, was killed last night. No one can leave Junbi City until the murderer is found."

Hearing this, Qiu Ling and Gu Yezhou both looked at Yao Guo at the same time. Even Yao Guo couldn't help but want to look at himself. Could it be that her attack yesterday was really so insignificant that she even killed a Zi Fuqi with a stick? The monk was knocked to death?
"Miss Mu Xue?" Yao Guo rubbed his nose and said, "Could it be the first genius who has reached the purple mansion stage?"

"Exactly!" The guard had a serious face, but his eyes flashed with disapproval. The so-called first genius is all touted by people. People like them who have stayed in Junbi City for a long time naturally know that Mu Xue The title of the first genius is so misnomer.

"Brother, you see, we are all congenital monks, so how could we possibly kill Miss Mu Xue from the Zifu period?" Yao Guo said earnestly: "You should focus on investigating monks above the Zifu period, not in the We waste time on inconspicuous people like us, so your workload can be reduced a lot!"

Qiu Ling glanced at Yao Guo in admiration. If it weren't for the presence of the guards from Junbi City, she would have praised her fiercely. Every sentence hit the point. The guards would not agree with her. No way!

Sure enough, the guard nodded approvingly, "Of course we also understand this truth, but this is the order of the city lord, and we can only follow it. Please come back!"

Helpless, Yao Guo and the others had no choice but to return to the city for the time being. The blockade of the whole city would not last long. The fear was that someone would suspect her during this time. Although she was sure that she did not kill Mu Xue, she did. Fainted Mu Xue and took away her soul crystal necklace.

In a private room of Baiweilou, several young men and women were sitting there chatting and drinking. On the table were all the new spiritual wines from Baiweilou, as well as some extremely precious delicacies.

"Yao Guo, you are too powerful!" Qiu Ling said in a low voice with her eyes wide open, "Didn't you say that you only knocked her out? Why is she now..."

"Don't mention this matter." Yao Guo raised her hand to stop Qiu Ling from continuing to ask, "Let's just pretend that this matter never happened..."

"I really want to!" Qiu Ling sighed, "But now we are trapped in Junbi City, if we don't catch the murderer for a day, we will have to be trapped for another day!"

"First of all, the murderer is definitely not me." Yao Guo said very seriously: "Let's not say that Mu Xue is a cultivator of the Purple Mansion, I just hit her head with the god iron wood, even if it smashed her head. , she can also repair herself, right?"

"What if you hurt your soul?" Gu Yezhou said suddenly.

"This..." Yao Guo said with some uncertainty: "I don't know if she hurt her soul, I only know that her head is intact and there is no bleeding or injury."

"But she didn't bleed and was injured, how could she pass out for no reason? She is not a mortal..." Qiu Ling suddenly widened her eyes, "Could it be your stick that just happened to injure someone's soul, so... ..."

Qiu Ling didn't continue, but everyone present understood the meaning, and it's not impossible. When fighting with others, the head and chest are the two most important points, but when Yao Guo hit it with a stick, Mu Xue died on the spot. This is very abnormal for a monk.

"But...my strength is really not that great..." Yao Guo felt inexplicable, and she took out the god iron wood that knocked Mu Xue back then, "Look, although this god iron wood is hard, it is after all It’s not a magic weapon, how can I, a monk of the congenital stage, kill a monk of the Zifu stage with one blow? It’s unreasonable!”

"Hey!" Qiu Ling patted Yao Guo's shoulder, "It won't work for you to explain to us, after all we don't care about Mu Xue's life or death."

Yao Guo lowered her head in discouragement, and she didn't care about Mu Xue's life or death, but she really didn't like being wronged, especially when she couldn't even convince herself.

"I want to be quiet." Yao Guo stood up suddenly, "Xiao Yin, don't follow me..."

Walking out of the private room, Yao Guo went directly to the same room as last time, she wanted to find out the truth, otherwise she would always feel uncomfortable.

In fact, the facts are already obvious. When she knocked down with a stick, Mu Xue became silent. She probably died at that time, but she also believed in her own strength. Such a stick would kill even a mortal. No, let alone a cultivator!
The more Yao Guo thought about it, the more suspicious she became. She walked around the room, but there was no result.

The sky suddenly became gloomy, and the wind was strong outside, creaking the windows.

"Window!" Yao Guo's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to open the window of the room.

The window sill of Baiwei Building is very narrow, and there is no way to stand on it, but Yao Guo found a very shallow shoe print on it. The strands of hair are enough to prove that someone has stayed outside.

"Who the hell is going to go to such lengths to kill Mu Xue?" Yao Guo frowned, stretched out his hand and gently took off that strand of hair.

But at this moment, a group of guards broke in directly outside the door. They were all wearing black armor and holding long guns, and directly surrounded Yao Guo.

"You are Yao Guo!" the leading guard said coldly.

"My lord, I don't know what to do." Yao Guo said expressionlessly, but dozens of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

The guard knew her name and made it clear that he was targeting her, but where did she show her flaws?Why did this group of people rush in not long after she entered the room!

"You are the guest who stayed in this room yesterday!" the guard said with certainty.

"Yes, my lord!" Yao Guo didn't make much excuses, after all, Baiwei Building has its own check-in procedures, and you can easily check yesterday's records to know your name.

"You know, Miss Mu Xue died in your room yesterday." The guard said sharply.

"Sorry, I really don't know about this!" Yao Guo directly shook his head and said, "I left early last night because I had an appointment with the alchemy master of the Pill Artifact Pavilion to help refine weapons, and I was only going back to the house early this morning. Rest for a while, who knows that before you lie down, you broke in!"

"We will send people to investigate what you said, but you have to come with us now."

"it is good."

The worst of these guards were those in the early days of the Zifu. If she resisted, she would undoubtedly be courting death. She might as well take this opportunity to get rid of the suspicion, otherwise she would have a bad life.

"It's not good, Yao Guo was taken away." Gu Yezhou, who had just gone out to inquire about the news, rushed into the private room in a hurry.

"How could this be?" Qiu Ling stood up in surprise.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yin's eyes, he took a sip of the spiritual wine in his glass, and said calmly, "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look."

At this moment, Yao Guo was thrown into a dark and damp dungeon by several guards. There was no so-called interrogation or torture, and the surroundings were completely silent. She was the only one in this dungeon.

Yao Guo stretched out his hand to lightly touch the surrounding walls, there are invisible restrictions everywhere, it is undoubtedly a dream to escape.

"No! There must be something wrong!" Yao Guo frowned tightly. He was obviously fine, so why did he suddenly enter this dark dungeon!
This world is not a modern society ruled by law. Even if she finds all kinds of reasons to clear her charges, if these people don't like her, they will kill them as soon as they want. The guards are back...

Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps outside, and Yao Guo almost immediately recognized that it was a woman!
