Chapter 82
There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.

Li Xianzheng got up quickly and looked out the door.

No one has been seen yet.

He felt a terrifying coercion overwhelming the sky.

immediately.

I saw a majestic middle-aged man leading a young man into the hospital.

Come straight to his room.

That young man was exactly Xu Qing who brought him here in the morning.

And that middle-aged man was naturally Sun Wu, the master of law enforcement.

Spirit monk!

Li Xianzheng took a deep breath, resisting the coercion with great difficulty and stood there with his hands tied.

"Senior Li, this is Senior Sun, the Master of the Law Enforcement Hall of our sect."

Xu Qing introduced as soon as they met, and then stood at the door with his hands tied, bowing his head in silence.

Li Xianzheng hastily clasped his fists and bowed in salute: "Young Li Xianzheng, I have seen the Master of the Palace."

However, Sun Wu ignored Li Xianzheng.

After entering the room, he seemed to ignore Li Xianzheng, sitting on the main seat and playing with the candlestick at hand.

It seems that the candlelight like the bean sprouts has something attractive.

However, the powerful coercion on him that belongs to the spiritual monk has been kept released.

Did not converge.

And it only covers this room.

The atmosphere in the house gradually became dignified and depressing.

The air seemed to freeze.

Li Xianzheng froze when he clasped his fists and bowed.

And can only be maintained.

Over time.

Li Xianzheng's forehead, face, neck, and body began to drip with cold sweat.

The oppressive atmosphere made Li Xianzheng feel like he was about to suffocate.

He has a desire to speak out all the things that are suffocating in his heart regardless of his care.

But think of the threat behind those secrets.

He stubbornly held back.

At the moment when Li Xianzheng was about to collapse.

Sun Wu suddenly lost his momentum, and said quietly:

"Li Xianzheng, are you convicted?"

In an instant.

Li Xianzheng only felt his whole body lighten up.

His legs went limp and he almost fell to his knees.

However, he stubbornly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "This junior doesn't know."

Sun Wu's eyes moved slightly, and he said coldly: "Then let me ask you, where did the Lingshi that the Zongmen distribute to Cangshan City once a year to encourage casual practitioners in the territory to participate in assisting Zongmen's mission activities go?"

Li Xianzheng's eyes changed slightly, he just hesitated for a moment, then he knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice: "This junior dare not hide anything."

"These spirit stones, the younger generation has indeed swallowed them privately."

Hearing him admit it so happily.

Not only Xu Qing.

Sun Wu was also silent.

Li Xian was lying on the ground, but he seemed to be relieved, his eyes were firm.

After a long time, Sun Wu said calmly: "You raise your head."

Li Xian is looking up at Sun Wu.

Sun Wu looked at him calmly: "Do you know what will happen if you steal a huge amount of spiritual stones from the sect?"

Li Xianzheng clasped his fists and said: "The younger generation knows that death is inevitable, so let the senior do it."

Xu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and the way he looked at Li Xianzheng also changed a little.

This person is actually so determined.

That Gao Yue has some skills.

Seeing this, Sun Wu said quietly: "Do you know that once this crime is committed, not only you, but your family and blood relatives will all die."

"Even all monks in the entire family will be abolished!"

However, Li Xianzheng said firmly: "As early as the beginning of doing this, this junior has already thought of today's consequences, and this crime cannot escape."

Sun Wu narrowed his eyes: "Okay, then let me ask you, besides you, who else is involved in this matter?"

Li Xianzheng shook his head and said: "There is no one else involved, this matter is done by the junior alone, it has nothing to do with others."

Faced with Li Xianzheng's firmness, Sun Wu suddenly sneered: "Hmph, what did one person do?"

"Don't say it's you, it's the Lord of Cangshan City, he can't do this alone."

"I advise you to tell the truth, so as not to hurt your family and blood relatives."

However, Li Xianzheng still didn't say a word.

Just bowed his head in silence.

Seeing this, Sun Wu knew that their previous guess was correct.

So he was not depressed, but suddenly laughed.

"Do you think it's enough for you to bear the responsibility for this matter alone?"

He said in a faint voice: "The meaning behind this incident is extremely important to Gu Yuezong."

"So you can't afford this crime alone."

"No matter who you are taking the blame for, no matter what the people behind you promise you."

"I, on behalf of Gu Yuezong, can tell you clearly."

"It's all fake."

"Use your pig's brain to think about it carefully."

"Before you have committed the crime, you still have value, but those people did not hesitate to push you out as a scapegoat."

"Once you successfully take the blame, it will no longer be of any use."

"At that time, will those people still care about your life?"

Sun Wu said indifferently: "And what will greet you immediately is to kill people and silence them, even your family members will be silenced in the same way."

Hearing this, a subtle change finally appeared on Li Xianzheng's face.

As a spiritual monk, Sun Wu's spiritual sense is so keen.

Immediately caught the slight change on Li Xianzheng's face, so he said coldly: "Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, I can gamble with you."

"Let you see if things are not as I said."

"Xu Qing, take him to live in a side courtyard, let Li Chengfeng and Feng Mingyu strictly guard him, no one is allowed to enter."

"Yes!" Xu Qing accepted the order with cupped fists, and said to Li Xianzheng, "Senior Li, let's go."

Li Xianzheng stood up with a gloomy expression, and left behind Xu Qing.

There was no sign of resistance or wanting to escape.

Because he clearly felt that an extremely powerful divine consciousness was covering him.

As long as he rarely moves, he will be restrained instantly.

In front of the spiritual monk, any thoughts he had were meaningless.

"City Lord! The big thing is not good!"

The study of the city lord's mansion.

Gao Yue's face darkened and he looked at Zhou Changshou who rushed into the house uncharacteristically: "What are you panicking about?"

Zhou Changshou took a deep breath, and said with an uneasy expression, "Sun Wu sent someone to bring Li Xianzheng to his yard early in the morning."

"Oh?" Gao Yue still sat calmly at the desk and looked at the scroll, "So what?"

"He" Zhou Changshou was infected by Gao Yue's calmness, and the uneasiness in his heart was slightly suppressed.

"Will he betray us?"

Gao Yue calmly put down the scroll, made him a cup of tea, and then said with a smile: "We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, why would he betray us?"

Zhou Changshou thought about it, but he was still worried: "I always feel that Gu Yuezong's approach is very aggressive and unusual."

"And I have also investigated. That Xu Qing is the one who solved the case of the death of the great elder Han Jing of Gu Yuezong. It is said that he is the disciple with the highest rate of solving cases in the Law Enforcement Hall."

"And you also saw what happened in the square that day, City Lord."

"It's not certain, Gu Yuezong might have some preparations for doing this, and he might even think of what happened in the mountains."

"Don't we...do something?"

Gao Yue pondered for a while, then nodded: "What you said is not unreasonable."

"How about this, tomorrow morning we will go to the Law Enforcement Hall in the name of visiting Sun Wu."

Zhou Changshou's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded, "Alright, if something goes wrong, we'll have time to deal with it."

The next morning.

Gao Yue and Zhou Changshou came to Xiyuan early in the morning to meet Sun Wu.

It was Sun Wu who questioned and doubted them the day before yesterday.

They can still keep smiling.

It was Li Chengfeng who greeted them. Li Kuanglan seemed to be practicing in a secret room and did not show up.

"High City Lord."

Li Chengfeng cupped his fists at Gao Yue and saluted, then looked at Zhou Changshou who was beside him: "Who is this senior?"

"This is Zhou Changshou, the head of the City Lord's Mansion. He just rushed back from outside the city, so I specially brought him here to meet with Sun Dianzhu, hoping to get acquainted."

Gao Yue said with a smile.

"Seniors, please, the lord of the hall is receiving guests, and you two need to wait at the door for a while."

Li Chengfeng said casually.

Gao Yue was suddenly surprised when he heard the words: "Oh? The Lord of the Palace has a guest here? Could it be some great monk from Beizhou?"

Li Chengfeng waved his hand: "What kind of big monk is that? I don't know the exact name of that person. He seems to be a golden core monk. It seems that the two of them chatted quite speculatively."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "City Master Gao, in fact, what I did in the square the day before yesterday was not my original intention, so please don't mind me."

"The junior was also helpless at the time, and I will apologize to you here today."

Hearing what Li Chengfeng said, Gao Yue's heart moved immediately, and he quickly smiled and said, "What did Nephew Li say! That person was indeed wrong that day, and he killed him as soon as he killed him. How could I blame you?"

"In the future, if the nephew is free, we will visit more often. We have nothing else in Cangshan City, but there are quite a lot of special spiritual herbs."

After saying that, he stuffed Li Chengfeng with a mustard bag: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, it's not easy to practice, and I, a senior, haven't even given a meeting gift when we meet."

"The nephew will take these things first."

Li Chengfeng was startled at first, then looked around, with an embarrassed expression on his face: "Uncle Gao, I'm afraid this is not very good?"

When Gao Yue heard the change of Li Chengfeng's address, she immediately laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just some worthless spiritual herbs."

Only then did Li Chengfeng accept it.

Immediately Gao Yue nodded in satisfaction, and then asked in a low voice: "By the way, nephew, what is the origin of that person? His Palace Master Sun loves him so much, and I want to make friends with him."

Li Chengfeng frowned, looked around vigilantly, and then said in a low voice: "It seems to be a monk in Cangshan City. His surname is Li. I don't know the specifics. If you two want to know each other, you can ask."

After finishing speaking, a group of people walked outside the house where Sun Wu was.

Hearing Li Chengfeng's words, Zhou Changshou's heart was shocked at the moment, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

Although Gao Yue was uneasy, the city was much deeper.

After patting him on the back vaguely, Zhou Changshou returned to normal.

Come to the house.

The entire room was shrouded in an isolation formation, and the door was closed tightly.

It's impossible to see what's going on inside from the outside.

"Two seniors, wait a moment, and the younger generation will go and report."

Li Chengfeng said politely to the two, then opened the door and walked in.

It's just him pushing the door.

Through the crack of the door, Gao Yue immediately saw a familiar figure flash past.

Zhou Changshou obviously also saw this scene.

Before the two could confirm, Li Chengfeng closed the door.

"Really?" Zhou Changshou couldn't help asking.

Gao Yue shook his head, expressing that he was not sure.

However, at this moment, Sun Wu's dissatisfied voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Why don't you inform me first, and then bring people in?"

Li Chengfeng faltered and said: "Uncle, I always thought that the two seniors are acquaintances, so I didn't think much about it."

"Use your pig brains before doing something next time!" Sun Wu cursed in a deep voice, "Let them in."

Hearing the conversation in the room, Gao Yue and Zhou Changshou looked at each other, and the uneasiness in their eyes deepened.

at this moment,

Li Chengfeng walked out with a blank expression, as if nothing happened.

"Seniors, please."

Then he left.

Gao Yue and Zhou Changshou took a deep breath and walked into the room.

To their surprise, Sun Wu's attitude towards the two was completely different from before.

Very kind.

He even entertained them with spiritual tea with a smile.

It was like nothing had happened before.

Although the two were a little puzzled, they still smiled and cooperated with the conversation. For only half an hour, Sun Wu didn't mention a word about Lingshi and Sanxiu.

I'm just very curious about the local conditions and customs in Cangshan City and the surrounding Lingshan treasures.

They even made an appointment with the two to go fishing in a spiritual lake a few days later.

After Zhao Le and the two left with a lot of worries.

Then Sun Wu smiled lightly: "Come out."

Seeing Xu Qing walking out wearing Li Xianzheng's clothes, his figure returned to normal after changing, and asked with a smile on his face: "Uncle, did you pretend to look like you just now?"

Seeing this scene, Sun Wu's eyes changed: "Nephew's ability to change is really a good method."

Xu Qing smiled slightly: "It's just a side trick, it's not enough."

Sun Wu didn't delve into it, but looked at the direction where Gao Yue and the two left: "Go, let Deacon Zhou and Deacon Wu lead people to send Li Xianzheng back to the spiritual library."

"During this period, he was not allowed to talk to anyone, and he was closely guarded in secret."

"Yes."

Xu Qing quietly left the room.

Watching him leave, Sun Wu felt a little emotional when he thought of Xu Qing's scheme: "At such a young age, my mind is so monstrous, and my mind and comprehension seem not to be simple."

After leaving the courtyard, Xu Qing went to instruct the deacon of the Hall of Law Enforcement to continue the next performance.

And just as he expected.

the other side.

As soon as Gao Yue and Zhou Changshou returned to their residence, they were in disarray.

As soon as the isolation formation was activated.

Gao Yue, who had always been very calm in the past, was also frowning and kept pacing around the house.

"This Sun Wu's uncharacteristic behavior is too weird!"

Zhou Changshou couldn't help but said.

"Yesterday he was still questioning us, but today he is suddenly so kind?!"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

"He must know something, and he wants to comfort us and paralyze us in this way!"

After thinking for a while, he said affirmatively, "City Lord, I'm afraid Li Xianzheng has already betrayed us!"

"If it weren't for what he said, Sun Wu's attitude would never have changed like this!"

However, regarding his doubts, Gao Yue frowned and said, "Impossible."

"Back then, Li Xianzheng was just a casual cultivator, and he has reached the end of his early foundation establishment."

"If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have achieved Jindan, and he wouldn't have met Mrs. Li and had the child he has now."

"I gave everything to him, I don't believe he will betray me!"

"Besides, it's also possible that old man Sun Wu is deceiving us!"

His eyes were fixed: "If——"

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Gao Yue signaled with a look, and Zhou Changshou walked to the door and opened it.

I saw a monk wearing a guard uniform standing outside the door. ,

"Come in and talk."

Gao Yue said in a low voice.

After closing the door, he restarted the formation and said, "Tell me, what news."

The guard said: "City Master, just now two deacons of the Hall of Law Enforcement left Xiyuan with a man in a black robe."

"From its side, it seems to be Senior Li from the Lingku."

Gao Yue and Zhou Changshou looked at each other, and then said expressionlessly: "Go, continue to monitor!"

"Yes!"

After the man left, Zhou Changshou couldn't sit still anymore: "We didn't tell the guard that the man was Li Xianzheng, what does that mean?"

"This shows that he really saw Li Xianzheng!"

Although Gao Yue was also shaken in his heart.

But there is still a glimmer of fantasy.

However, just after a stick of incense, the guard came to report again.

It is said that a group of people entered the spiritual vault of Cangshan City through the side door.

Gao Yue was finally disillusioned, and turned into anger from embarrassment!
"It's really him."

He took a deep breath, his face grim.

"What should we do now?" Zhou Changshou swallowed, "The matter of 10,000+ spirit stones is still a trivial matter, if they find out about Cangjian Gate and Qingliang Mountain"

Gao Yue waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

"No wonder this Sun Wu is uncharacteristically. It is indeed as you said. I am afraid he is paralyzing us."

"I want to make a sudden move to catch us off guard."

"If you and I didn't pay a sudden visit today, I'm afraid we'd still be kept in the dark at this time, and we'd be complacent!"

Zhou Changshou nodded, the more he thought about it, the more certain he was, and he even felt a little scared.

"Since that's the case, then don't do anything, just kill Li Xianzheng!"

"In this way, even Gu Yuezong can't do anything to us when there is no proof of death!"

Zhou Changshou was a little worried when he heard the words: "That's it. But Gu Yuezong is not a fool, they will definitely guess that it is related to us."

Gao Yue sneered: "So what if you guessed it? Evidence is important in everything! What can he do without evidence?"

"At that time, even if we offend Sun Wu, we will leave Gu Yuezong when there is trouble in the mountains."

"In such a huge Northern State, isn't there a place for me to wait for the Jindan cultivators?"

Zhou Changshou nodded: "Okay! Then I'll make arrangements."

Gao Yue reminded: "Remember, the method must be secretive, and make it look like you will commit suicide in fear of crime."

"clear."

Cangshan City Lingku.

Li Xianzheng was walking around in the courtyard next to the Lingku with a disturbed expression on his face.

The entire Lingku side courtyard was surrounded by the deacons of Gu Yuezong's Law Enforcement Hall.

There is tight defense everywhere.

There was no way he could leave or pass any news.

Just be in a hurry.

He didn't even have a chance to go home.

He also kept thinking about what Sun Wu said in his mind.

Would the people behind him really betray him?

He doesn't believe it.

His opponent will not break his wings.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps under the eaves.

I saw a lean boy walking over with a pot of tea.

Li Xianzheng breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw the other person's face clearly.

The person who came was the most personal guard of the manager Zhou Changshou.

The other party must have sent him a letter!
