Chapter 169: Leaving no loose ends
Chapter 169 - Leaving No Future Danger
Hearing Ye Fei's strong statement.
The yellow-skinned youth and the black-robed female cultivator who were being pursued changed their expressions instantly.
"Our brother and sister were passing through the vicinity of Wu Qi Mountain, and we were going to purchase some supplies along the way. How could Wu Qi Mountain just sit back and watch the robber cultivators do their evil deeds and turn away their guests?" The yellow-skinned youth looked sad and angry, and angrily rebuked.
Lu Changan and the three of them ignored his questioning, and each of them sacrificed an extremely high-grade magic weapon to stop the brother and sister from breaking into Wu Qi Mountain.
"What kind of person comes over to make purchases in the middle of the night and fights with people in the mountains and forests? I, Wu Qi Mountain, only receive normal guests, and do not participate in outside grudges."
Lu Changan said in a flat tone.
He and Ye Fei, respectively, manipulated another puppet of the middle and lower second rank.
With such a lineup and a home battle, there was no need to be afraid even if the opposite five were in a group.
"The three Peak Masters are smart people, we will remember this favor."
The leader of the black veil bucket hat among the pursuing trio let out a raspy soft laugh.
The yellow-skinned youth duo who were being chased had no choice but to flee around the edge of Wu Qi Mountain, towards the other side.
In this way, they took a detour.
Soon after, the three men in black hats chased after them and intercepted them.
After a short fight, the yellow-skinned youths broke their magic weapons, dimmed their aura, and hung on their bodies with colors.
"Brother, since we can't escape, let's fight with them!"
The injured black-robed female cultivator, silver teeth clenched, cold face, a piece of misery and despair.
"Little sister, run quickly! I'll hold them off!"
The yellow-skinned youth performed a secret technique, purple and green blood lines appeared on his face, and his mana breath soared close to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
He pushed the black-robed female cultivator away and frantically counterattacked the black-veiled bucket hat trio alone.
"Hehe, the dog is desperate to jump over the wall."
That black-veiled bucket hat leader, the fluctuation of mana on his body soared, elevated from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage.
"You, even hid your cultivation......"
Three against one, quickly knocked down the yellow-skinned youth and chopped him into several pieces.
Seeing this scene.
The three Peak Masters of Wu Qi Mountain were slightly stunned.
From this, it can be concluded that these two parties of Foundation Establishment Cultivators are not a group.
Shi Manrong and Lu Chang'an looked at each other, slightly reluctant to speak, and wanted to stop.
"Brother!"
The black-robed female cultivator who had fled for some distance was overwhelmed with grief, and two lines of tears fell from her beautiful face.
"That female cultivator quite a bit of color, as soon as possible will be captured alive, after the incident can also be sold for a big price......"
Black hat leader, slightly vigilant look to the witch Qishan three people.
For the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he padded his own back, let two of his men take the lead in chasing after them.
"Wu Qishan! Sooner or later, you will eat your own evil--"
The black-robed female cultivator not only hated the three robber cultivators, but also had a great deal of resentment towards the three peak masters of Wu Qi Mountain.
Her pretty eyes glanced coldly, remembering the indifferent faces of Lu Chang'an's three people who had seen them die.
Lu Changan frowned lightly and imperceptibly.
However, with the speed of the black-robed female cultivator, she couldn't escape the pursuit of the three robber cultivators, especially the leader of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Suddenly, air-breaking sounds came from the southeast direction.
A reddish-colored light came flying from between the clouds in the night sky.
"Retreat!"
The black-veiled hat leader took one look, his face changed greatly, and without thinking, he called out to two of his men and retreated in a hurry.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with the black-robed female cultivator, he unexpectedly gave up directly.
......
"Cultivator of the Leaving Fire Palace?"
The three peak masters of Wu Qi Mountain couldn't help but be confused as they looked towards the dan-red iron boat flying in the distance.
That is the exclusive flying magic weapon of Li Huo Palace, each side of the boat shows a flame pattern made up of water droplets and small flame seedlings, flying in the shape of a light spin.
There were four Foundation Establishment cultivators on the boat.
The leader of the late Foundation Establishment cultivators is a man in green shirt with elegant temperament and fresh face.
"Song Wenshu?"
Lu Chang'an recognized this person.
During the Beast Tide many years ago, Song Wenshu accompanied the "Red Pine Realist" of the Leaving Fire Palace to solve the case and arrest the murderer of the Fox Valley's tragic murder, and he became acquainted with Lu Chang'an.
In the years that followed, Lu Chang'an and this person only met once by chance and did not have any friendship with each other.
"Senior Brother Song, the evil cultivator who escaped is suspected to be the robber cultivator 'Black Night Fisherman' who was wanted by several major sects back then."
On the orange flying boat, a big man with a beard in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment recognized the identity of the man in the black veil and bucket hat. "Black night fisherman? This person prefers to act at night, wears a bucket hat on his head, robs money and sex, and is a ghost......"
Song Wenshu immediately recalled the information about this wanted man, who was little known in Liang.
His most famous masterpiece was to sell a few female cultivators of the clan, in the black market for fun, and then was severely wanted by the clan, hidden for one or two decades.
"The three of us will pursue, you investigate at the scene."
Song Wenshu left the bearded man behind and took two of his fellow disciples with himself, chasing after the direction the black night fisherman had fled.
"Fellow Daoist Lu."
Before leaving, Song Wenshu and Lu Chang'an looked at each other from a distance, and both of them greeted each other briefly.
Lu Chang'an showed a slight hint of being flattered and reminded:
"Fellow Daoist Song be careful, that robber cultivator leader just now, who had concealed his cultivation, may not be simple."
The strength of sect cultivators often outperforms that of their counterparts outside.
Song Wenshu's background in the Li Huo Palace is not small, as long as the enemy is not too gullible, it will not be overturned.
The bearded man left behind, the same fire Palace cultivator, is Song Wenshu's beloved, named Cao Yuan.
After the introduction of both sides, Cao Yuan in Wu Qishan site to understand the situation.
After examining the body of the yellow-skinned youth, Cao Yuan was pondering.
Glancing in the direction where the black-robed female cultivator fled, he slightly regretted.
"Fellow Daoist Cao, what is the identity of the brother and sister being chased?"
Lu Chang'an inquired with a flutter in his heart.
"That brother and sister duo, their names are Pei Wenkang and Pei Qiunyan, from a defeated Immortal Cultivation Family. Previously, they purchased a store at a high price in 'Prairie Immortal City' and owed a loan, and due to poor management, they lost their blood money......"
"Some days ago, the Pei family brother and sister went out to make purchases, and found a small merchant fleet being targeted by robber cultivators, the fight was fierce, and the robber cultivators eventually retreated. The duo temporarily had an evil intent and took advantage of the fire to loot the merchant team that suffered heavy casualties."
"However, the matter was exposed shortly afterward, and the Pei siblings couldn't hang around in Prairie Immortal City and fled overnight."
After listening to Cao Yuan's narration, Lu Chang'an understood that the brother and sister were not real robbing cultivators.
Previously, they had been doing business in Liaoyuan Immortal City and had always been honest, even having fun with people, without leaving any bad traces.
Due to the fact that their business has lost all their money, the clan is on a warpath, and their internal control is declining, the security is relatively chaotic, and they encountered a good opportunity to loot and plunder, and thus had a bad idea.
Cao Yuan speculates that the brother and sister picked the peach of the robber, who was probably the henchman of the "Night Fisherman", and was targeted and chased all the way to the nearby area.
One of the bases of their speculation is that the "Night Fisherman" is good at tracking, and few of his prey can escape.
......
Half an hour later.
Song Wenshu led two Foundation Establishment cultivators back to Wu Qi Mountain to meet up with Cao Yuan, who stayed behind to investigate.
"Fellow Daoist Song, did you catch up with the three robber cultivators?"
Lu Changan, the three Peak Masters, greeted them.
"The Black Night Fisherman was quite cunning, setting up fronts along the road and splitting up with his men to escape. In the end, we only killed one of his early stage Foundation Establishment henchmen."
Song Wenshu sighed softly, regretfully.
Lu Changan had expected this.
Although the Black Night Fisherman was famous for a while, he didn't dare to fight to the death with the elite cultivators of the Leaving Fire Palace.
It wasn't just the difference in strength.
Even if he were to win by chance, killing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a background in the Li Huo Palace might cause the Li Huo Palace's higher-ups to take it really seriously. At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move around in Liang, and it will be difficult to escape.
Subsequently, Song Wenshu learned that the Pei siblings who were chased by the robbing cultivators, surprisingly, also had a record in the area of Liaoyuan Immortal City.
It was the territory of the Leaving Fire Palace.
"Pei Qiushan is not lightly injured, there may be traces on the road, you try to pursue and capture them."
Song Wenshu was too lazy to do it himself and handed it over to Cao Yuan's three Foundation Establishment henchmen.
Late that night.
Song Wenshu was a guest at Wu Qi Mountain, Little Turtle Peak, and received a banquet from the three peak masters.
Lu Changan and the three of them were naturally happy to befriend the cultivators of the Leaving Fire Palace. Song Wenshu did not take the three craftsmen of Wu Qishan lightly.
Back then, the mysterious group of robbers who committed the "Fox Valley Murder Case" was more powerful and stealthy than the "Night Fishers".
In that battle, which Song Wenshu remembers very well, Lu Chang'an and Ye Fei played with remarkable strength, and at the same time defeated the strong with the weak.
Especially Lu Changan, who assisted Hong Song Zhen Zhen to kill the mysterious thief leader in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
To this day, the identity of the mysterious leader of the bandits is still a mystery.
......
The next morning.
Cao Yuan and the three of them returned, their expressions downcast, and met up with Song Wenshu.
"You didn't catch up?" Song Wenshu was surprised.
The target was only an injured female cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, her escape speed was limited, and she would most likely leave traces behind.
They are all law enforcement practitioners of the Leaving Fire Palace and are good at tracking.
"Song senior brother, that female cultivator in the escape Wu Qi Mountain hundreds of miles, leaving traces, and then inexplicably interrupted the clues, lost track of......."
Cao Yuan old face slightly red, ashamed bowed his head.
Lu Changan's eyes flickered, paying attention to the details of what he said.
"It's just a small fish."
Song Wenshu sighed, not forcing himself.
"I'll let Fellow Daoist Lu laugh at me."
"Brother Song need not be concerned, that Pei Qiushan is not an extremely evil person. Or the heavens have the virtue of good life and gave her a chance to be a new person."
Lu Chang'an did not move and persuaded.
Song Wenshu was not in a good mood after the successive defeats and felt disgraced, so he proposed to take his leave.
Before saying goodbye.
Lu Changan handed Song Wenshu a brocade bag containing spirit stones, and the latter reluctantly accepted it after several excuses.
He called it "hard-earned money".
According to Lu Changan's understanding, Song Wenshu, because of his unusual background, did not participate in the neighboring wars, and was responsible for the security patrols around the Lei Huo Palace, the hinterland of Liang's territory.
Wu Qi Mountain, not far from the hinterland of Liang, also counted in the edge of the area of Song Wenshu law enforcement patrol.
Hundreds of miles away from the Fox Valley, is the name of the fire palace spirit vein dojo.
......
Half a day after the departure of the Leaving Fire Palace cultivators.
Inside the underground chamber of the Little Turtle Peak Cave.
Zee!
The ground rock rat burrowed out from the hidden entrance of the secret chamber.
It opens its mouth and spits out a storage bag.
And a thin, non-existent mask.
Lu Chang'an opened the storage bag and took a look at it, and his face was unperturbed.
The value of the items in it was no more than that of a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He picked up the Hundred Illusion Mask again.
Smell a trace of residual blood, as well as the faint fragrance of a woman.
Although Pei Qi Yan was not a great evil, she clearly held a grudge against the three peak masters of Wu Qi Mountain before she fled.
Lu Changan naturally would not leave such a hidden danger.
An injured early stage Foundation Establishment, faced with a hidden attack from a late second stage Ground Rock Rat, was killed in a single blow, without a doubt.
Looking at the Hundred Illusions Mask in his hand, Lu Changan revealed a hint of exploration.
This is the first time that the Hundred Illusion Mask has acquired an identity by killing a target and devouring its essence blood and soul.
He put on the mask, and a cold, eerie aura blended into his skin without any hindrance.
In the blink of an eye.
A white-clothed female cultivator with eyes like autumn water, icy skin, and a cold temperament appeared in the secret room.
Zee!
The ground rock rat's eyes were wide open, its hair exploded all over its body, and its teeth were bared as it stared at Pei Qiushan, who had been killed by itself not long ago.
"Pity, such a beauty."
Lu Changan's fingers drew a water mirror, looking at the icy beauty of the female cultivator's face, her skin was snowy, her body was slender and attractive, and her long hair was as smooth as silk.
