After entering the high-rise building, the group went directly to the top floor to find Lin Yarou, the elder in charge of the Linghe Sect's general affairs in the Western Domain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lin Yarou is a middle-aged beauty, but she is well maintained, although she is full of silver hair, she still looks radiant.

Seeing her, Zhan Chen came to a conclusion, in the ranks of immortal cultivators, it seems that women pay more attention to their looks than men, he has seen old men, but it seems that he has never seen an "old" woman.

Don't look at Lin Yarou's name is quite elegant, and her face is also kind, but she has the same strong strength as the sect master - she is also a veritable immortal yuan great consummation powerhouse.

Originally, the Western Domain was so big, and it shouldn't be guarded by one of her elders, but over the years, the Western Domain has really been peaceful, so the Spirit Crane Sect reduced the number of guard elders, and in the end, she was the only one left in charge, and the other elders were sent to more critical parts, which was actually a manifestation of the weakness of the Spirit Crane Sect.

Perhaps it was because of the principle of "persimmons pick and pinch soft", this time the demon cultivator's attack on the Spirit Crane Sect was particularly fierce, but it was just the loss of a few disciples, which was not enough for Zhuang Weiye to make the decision to send more elders.

Let's say that after everyone finished saluting, Lin Yarou said to everyone: "Sect Master Zhuang has already told me about your arrival, you are all the elites of our sect, and now the guards in our places are generally middle and low-level peep Yuan monks. And this time, although the number of demon cultivators sent by the Demon Gate is not large, but they are all profound and difficult to deal with, so we have suffered heavy casualties, but we still can't find their traces. ”

"Therefore, I am considering assigning you to a team of five people to the disciples stationed in various places, but your task is different from that of other disciples, you do not have to participate in the management of the place, but you have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of investigating and resisting this group of demon cultivators, and find out the truth as soon as possible. ”

"Obey Elder Lin's orders!" everyone said in unison.

At this time, Sun Chengan, an elite disciple in the team, stood up and asked, "Elder Lin, then how should we form a team, and where should each team go?"

Lin Yarou thought for a while and said, "I think everyone is the elite of the sect, so let's form a team freely, give everyone a quarter of an hour, if after a quarter of an hour, I will redistribute the people who have not formed a team." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone is clear. And Zhan Chen and the other five senior brothers and sisters naturally want to be together.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Yarou divided the people who did not form a team, and gave each team a serial number, and the number that Zhan Chen and the others got was twenty-three, and they were twenty-three.

In this way, it is clear to everyone. Next, Lin Yarou took out a map of the Linghe Sect's jurisdiction in the Western Domain, and began to assign the scope of each team's responsibility, and the twenty-three squads were assigned to Sanji Town, and in that area, there have been three incidents of the disappearance of the disciples of the Linghe Sect in the past three months.

However, Sanji Town is not the only place they are responsible for, in fact, the area they are responsible for also includes the other three large towns around Sanji Town, with a total population of one million!

"Well, everyone knows what their duties are, so you can leave now and head to the various strongholds!"

"Yes!"

All the disciples were disbanded after hearing the order, and after leaving Yunling City, Zhan Chen and the others set off to Sanji Town, or Li Qiong led the way, this senior sister can be said to be an old horse who knows the way, and has been to many places, usually she is there, and everyone will always quickly find the coordinates of the destination.

After following Li Qiong after a morning of flight, Zhan Chen and the others came to the top of Sanji Town.

Sanji Town is actually located on the edge of the Cangheng Mountain Range, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and leaning against the forest on one side, it is a very remote place, often such a remote place, but it is a place where demon cultivation frequently appears, so in the past three months, I heard that there have been three disappearances of disciples here, and eight disciples have disappeared in this area, which is the largest in the territory of the Western Domain.

This also aroused Lin Yarou's great attention, so this area was handed over to Li Qiong's group, who is called Li Qiong, and two of the five-person team are masters of the Great Perfection of Peeping Yuan?

It was already evening when Zhan Chen and the others came to the Linghe station in the town, and they were soon welcomed into the door by the disciples who were originally stationed, and this small station was stationed with ten inner disciples of the Linghe Sect and nearly two hundred outer disciples!

Knowing all this, Zhan Chen also felt very curious, so he asked Li Junchen beside him: "Junchen, there is one thing I don't understand. ”

Li Junchen asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why do you think our sect has so many disciples stationed in one town?"

Li Junchen said with a smile: "Zhan Chen, one is for the needs of local management, and the other is that this is also a strategy to declare possession, right?"

Zhan Chenqi said, "Can you explain it to me?"

"First of all, there is no state in the Western Domain, so it is managed by our sect instead of the state, you may not know that half of our Linghe Sect's annual income comes from here. Therefore, the sect naturally attaches great importance to it and sends many disciples to maintain local law and order and pay taxes from various places to enrich the finances of our sect. ”

Zhan Chen nodded, and asked again: "But there is no need to send so many inner disciples, right? ”

Li Junchen explained: " Zhan Chen, you see the land of the Western Domain as too simple, it is prosperous on the surface, but in fact there is a crisis, first of all, some demon cultivators are still hiding in the shadows, and they come out to make trouble from time to time, at this time, it is impossible to solve them by relying only on the strength of the outer disciples; ！”

"I see!" Zhan Chen is understandable, not only between the righteous and the demons, but also between the righteous sects, and the open and secret battles for interests are also happening all the time.

Since they had already learned in advance that they were coming, a sumptuous banquet had already been set up in the station, and although the powerhouses of the Yuan Realm no longer needed to eat and drink, they still retained the habits of mortals, or to some extent, they paid more attention to these appetites, or the pleasures of dogs and horses.

Everyone sat down around the wine table, and a middle-aged man with a red face got up, raised his wine glass and toasted Li Qiong and the others: "Senior sisters, senior brothers, my name is Le Shangwen, and I am the chief person in charge of the three market towns. ”

Li Qiong smiled slightly, also stood up, raised his wine glass and said: "Senior Brother Le, you are too polite, everyone is working for our Linghe Sect, there is no need to distinguish between high and low, come and give us a glass of Senior Brother!"

Zhan Chen and the others also raised their wine glasses to toast, and after everyone drank a glass together, they all sat down, and Le Shangwen greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Everyone eat, eat, eat and chat!"

So everyone started to enjoy the food. During the banquet, Li Qiong began to inquire about the disappearance of the inner disciple: "Senior Brother Le, you should already know the purpose of our trip, can you tell us about the disappearance of the inner disciple, what is the situation?"

As soon as he talked about the disappearance of the inner disciples, Le Shangwen's expression became serious, and he said: "Senior Sister Li, when I talk about this matter, I feel quite strange, first of all, the first disappearance incident in three months, which happened in Gaoqin Town, sixty miles south of our town, two inner disciples left the station, but after that, we completely lost their news. ”

"The second one happened in our Sanji Town, two months ago. A junior named Gao Yunwen disappeared while on duty, and within two days, two junior disciples we had sent to various villages to collect taxes also disappeared. ”

"The third incident happened last month, in Fulong Town, a hundred miles north of us, three inner disciples on duty disappeared for no reason. ”

When Li Qiong heard this, she muttered: "There are three disappearance cases, there are eight inner disciples, almost one every month, and they happen in different towns, which seems to be premeditated. ”

"yes! I think so too. Le Shangwen echoed, and at this time, several disciples stationed at the same table also showed panicked expressions on their faces, as if an invisible and inexplicable crisis was looming around them, making people shudder.

"By the way, hasn't there been a disappearance in Gushan Town?" Li Qiong suddenly woke up.

"Backing the town, not yet!" Le Shangwen was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

Li Qiong was puzzled: "It shouldn't be surprised, according to the geographical location, Gushan Town is the closest town to the Cangheng Mountain Range here, almost surrounded by deep mountain ranges, where it is the easiest place for Demon Cultivators to attack and can easily hide, why hasn't it become the target of Demon Cultivators' attacks?"

After Li Qiong's reminder, Le Shangwen was also stunned, and said: "That's right, the demon cultivators are hidden deep in the Cangheng Mountain Range, why do you want to attack us from near and far? ”

However, Li Qiong's eyebrows were tightly locked, and Zhan Chen also faintly felt that things should not be as simple as Le Shangwen's analysis, and there must be something strange about this backer town!

Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet became dull for a while, Le Shangwen hurriedly smiled and said: "Hahaha, Senior Sister Li, since you are worried, why don't you go to Gushan Town to have a look? Anyway, it is not far away, and it will be there in an hour by taking the Linghe! But it is getting late today, so let's rest here for the time being." ”

Li Qiong reacted at this time and said with a smile: "Yes, everyone is also tired, let's rest today!"

So the banquet continued, and the atmosphere soon returned to enthusiasm.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that a piece of news from Gushan Town the next day completely shocked everyone!
