The next morning, just as Li Qiong and the others were asking Le Shangwen about the specific situation of each town, a disciple of the outer sect who was guarding the door outside ran in and reported: "Senior Brother Le, there is a person outside who wants to see you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Le Shangwen was stunned for a moment, and scolded unhappily: "You guy doesn't have long eyes, don't you see that I am discussing important matters with Senior Sister Li? ”

"Yes!" The outer disciple was about to turn around, but he heard Li Qiong shouting, "Slow!", so he had to turn around again.

Li Qiong said to Le Shangwen again: "Let that person in." ”

"But—"

"It's nothing, but maybe someone really has something important to report?"

Le Shangwen nodded and called, "Okay, then call him in!"

After a while, a young man with a hurried expression walked in from outside, he was dressed in the clothes of a subordinate, and his cultivation was only the middle level of Emperor Wu, and he hurriedly knelt down for everyone as soon as he saw his face, and said loudly: "Villain Liu Xi, meet all the immortal masters!"

When Le Shangwen saw him, he asked, "Liu Xi, where are you from?"

The young man raised his head and said, "I am serving with Dou Changchun, the mayor of Gushan Town!"

"Backing Mountain Town?!" Le Shangwen and Li Qiong glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Liu Xicai hurriedly shouted: "It's a big deal! Your sect has been attacked by a group of fierce demon cultivators at our station in Gushan Town!"

"What!" everyone could no longer sit still after hearing the shocking news, and stood up from their positions.

Li Qiong, as a senior sister, took the lead in calming down and said, "Don't worry, tell me slowly, what is the situation?"

Liu Xi said: "I don't know the specific situation, I only know the general situation, just the night before yesterday, a group of demon cultivators raided our Linghe station in the mountain town, when the station was on fire, we were afraid of the demon cultivators, no one dared to approach, only heard the wailing sound constantly, so they scattered and fled, and then the fire was extinguished, so there were brave people to go back and snoop." Seeing that the demon cultivator had left, the big guys dared to return home one after another-"

"Then tell me about the casualties of the disciples in our station!" Li Qiong asked anxiously.

"Okay, I'll say right away, when we arrived at the station, we found that there was only a pile of broken bricks and tiles left, and the corpses of more than a dozen disciples of the outer sect of your sect—"

"What about the others?"

Liu Xi glanced at it quietly before replying in a low voice: "The others are all missing." ”

"Missing?" Li Qiong frowned and asked, "Isn't there any clue?"

Liu Xi shook his head and simply said: "I'm just a messenger, I don't know the rest of the superfluous things, I just know that the mayor asked me to notify you quickly, so that you can send more people over to support!"

Le Shangwen's face showed embarrassment, and said: "Support? The current defense of our Sanji Town is still insufficient, and I am afraid it will be difficult to send people to Gushan Town." ”

At this time, Zhuang Xiaodie hurriedly said on the side: "Let's go, I'm worried about the safety of the juniors and disciples there!"

Zhan Chen looked at her anxious look, and knew that this was her true words, Zhuang Xiaodie was such a person, and regarded everyone in the same sect as relatives.

Li Qiong nodded and said, "Senior Brother Le, I know that you also have difficulties, so don't go, let us come." ”

Le Shangwen was overjoyed when he heard this, as if relieved, and said: "Yes, Senior Sister Li, your cultivation is profound, and it is natural to deal with this kind of thing, and I, Le Shangwen, wish you success in advance and exterminate the demon cultivation!"

"However, we also need your help. Li Qiong said sharply.

Le Shangwen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Senior sister, although I have orders, if there is something we can do, we will fully support it." ”

"Okay, then we're welcome, this incident in Backing Mountain Town is particularly serious, we went there to support, and we didn't have a chance to report the situation to the sect in time, Senior Brother Lao Fule sent someone to Yunling City as soon as possible, and informed Elder Lin of the emergency first. ”

Le Shangwen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Li Qiong was relieved at this time, turned back to Zhan Chen and the others and said, "Let's go!"

"Yes!" said the crowd.

Li Qiong and the others released the Linghe, took Liu Xi with them, and hurriedly flew in the direction of the mountain town, the distance of a hundred miles was just a moment for the spirit crane, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they flew to the sky above the mountain town.

Standing on the back of Xiao Ye, Zhan Chen looked down, and could see the whole picture of the town, the backing town is really worthy of its name, it is almost embedded in the mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side leads to the outside world. More than 100,000 townspeople live in this peaceful town.

The crane landed at the entrance of the town, and everyone entered the town on foot. Along the way, Zhan Chen smelled an unusual smell, I don't know if it was an illusion, he seemed to feel that the air here was more gloomy than the outside world, giving people a rather uncomfortable feeling, and at the same time, the townspeople walking on the street also looked listless.

Zhan Chen couldn't help but think: "Why does this backing town always give me a strange feeling, it seems that the yin and evil aura here is particularly strong, is it my delusion?"

Li Qiong and the others first went straight to the Linghe station in the town, and when they arrived, as Liu Gui told them before, it was almost razed to the ground, leaving only collapsed ruins and charred broken wood and tiles, and it seemed that they were still telling people about the tragic situation that had happened here.

It was not only the Linghe Sect's station that suffered, many of the houses around the station seemed to have been affected by the battle, and there were few intact ones.

Li Qiong, Zhuang Xiaodie and the others hurriedly entered the ruins, hoping to find the corpses of the disciples of the Spirit Crane Sect, or even some clues, but unfortunately, there seemed to be nothing left for them here.

Li Qiong turned around and asked Liu Xi, who was following them, "Liu Xi, where are the dozen or so corpses of our Spirit Crane Sect disciples you mentioned?"

Liu Xi replied: "Back to the immortal master, they have been collected by my master and are now left in the house." ”

"Take us there!"

"Okay, all immortal masters, please come with me!"

Liu Xi led the way for everyone, and after a while, the six of them came to a big mansion in the center of the town, and above the door of the house were written two big golden characters "Dou Mansion", which is where Dou Changchun lived in the town.

Liu Xi stepped forward and said to the family guarding the door: "Go and report to the master, the immortal master is here!"

As soon as the family members heard that it was an immortal master of the Spirit Crane Sect, they didn't dare to slack off, and rushed to report it. After a while, an old man with a white beard came out of the door, and shouted as he walked: "You immortal masters have been waiting for a long time, the old man Dou Changchun has missed his welcome, I am really afraid!"

Zhan Chen saw that the old town mayor actually had the cultivation of the first level of the Voyeur Yuan, and was secretly surprised, the powerhouses of the Wanfa Continent were everywhere, and it was in such a remote West Fanshan Town that the strong people of the Voyeur Yuan Realm could be found.

Li Qiong stepped forward and asked, "You are Dou Changchun, the mayor of Gushan Town!"

"Yes, gentlemen, we can look forward to you so hard!" Dou Changchun said with infinite emotion: "Several, let's go into the mansion and talk!"

A few people nodded and entered the Dou Mansion, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the corpses of thirteen outer disciples dressed in the clothes of the Spirit Crane Sect being placed on the ground in the courtyard. They died in a miserable state, all of them with terrible wounds, some of them were incomplete, and some of them were wide-eyed, and there was still a look of fear in their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Li Qiong and Zhuang Xiaodie were so shocked that they covered their mouths and shouted, "This is really cruel!"

Zhan Chen looked at these corpses, and a nameless anger rose in his heart, but in addition to his anger, a question also rose in his heart, and asked Dou Changchun on the side: "Mayor Dou, I want to ask you a question." ”

"Immortal Master, please speak. ”

"How many of our Linghe Sect colleagues are stationed in Gushan Town?"

Dou Changchun replied, "There are a total of two hundred and eighteen people, there are fourteen immortal masters who have cultivated above the Yuan Realm like you, and there are two hundred and four outer disciples who have the cultivation of the Martial Saint Great Perfection. ”

Zhan Chen touched his chin and muttered, "In this way, there are really a lot of disciples stationed in the backing town!"

"yes, more than the average town, because we're close to the Cangheng Mountains!"

"But how could so many disciples disappear all at once? This seems a little weird!" Zhan Chen muttered to himself again.

Zhan Chen's words also resonated with Li Qiong and the others, who looked at the old mayor together, hoping to get some reasonable explanations from him.

At this moment, the old mayor's eyes flickered, he hurriedly lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "This--Immortal Masters, the battle was very fierce at that time, and we didn't dare to move forward, so I-don't know about this question!"

Zhan Chen asked again: "Mayor Dou, has anyone ever found their traces when the demon cultivators entered the town, such as what they look like, how many people are there, and so on?"

"No, without warning! We don't know how those damn demon cultivators got in!" Dou Changchun shook his head and replied.

"Did you really not see it at all?" Li Qiong couldn't help asking.

"No!" Dou Changchun replied with great certainty: "The inside of the station was suddenly ablaze, and the demon cultivators seemed to have come out of the ground, we only heard the sound of fighting, the momentum was huge, many houses were destroyed, everyone scattered and fled, panicking, and didn't see anything clearly. ”

Then, Li Qiong and the others tried to ask Dou Changchun many questions, but it seemed that they could no longer get anything of value from the mouth of the old mayor.

They also interviewed some of the townspeople who lived around the station, hoping that they would be able to tell what it was like. However, what those townspeople said was either vague or exaggerated, and they were saying the same thing one person, which made Zhan Chen and the others more and more confused.

Seeing that it was getting late, but there was still nothing, Li Qiong couldn't help frowning, and said to Dou Changchun: "Mayor Dou, it's getting late, but our investigation is not over yet, can I borrow your house to live tonight?"

"Yes, of course you can, immortal masters, I have already talked about preparing thin wine, you can rest in my humble house tonight, and find clues tomorrow!" Dou Changchun replied briskly.
