Chapter 67
On the second day, Yue Mingchou and Zhuang Youqian followed Xie Zhengliu's previous instructions, took a short rest and went to her room together.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Xie Zhengliu said simply: "I bought the news about Zhao Qingwu on the black market yesterday."

The two people opposite didn't expect the news to come so suddenly. Zhuang Youqian almost fell off his stool in shock.

However, the two of them quickly recovered from their excitement and hurriedly approached Xie Zhengliu: "I was about to ask you what you were doing before, but I didn't expect that you went to find the whereabouts of Zhao Qingwu. Not bad, not bad. , then please tell us the location of that person quickly so that we can investigate clearly and then pass the news back to the sect."

As Zhuang Youqian spoke, he began to search for the messenger talisman on his body, as if he was about to inform the sect of the good news immediately.

"You'd better wait first." Xie Zhengliu said to stop him.

However, Zhuang Youqian still lowered his head and wrote something on the communication talisman without raising his head and said: "What are you waiting for? With such a good opportunity, we should report her location quickly so that we can earn the mission reward!"

"Wait a minute." Xie Zhengliu raised his hand and pressed Zhuang Youqian's communication talisman, with a rare serious expression on his face, "Because I still want to ask for something from her."

After the two of them looked up at her in surprise and the room became quiet again, Xie Zhengliu spoke again: "Perhaps you still remember that my spirit body was damaged? I didn't tell you before, but now I have to explain it to you. , Why is my spirit body damaged? That damage is because someone took something very important from me..."

Xie Zhengliu only said this, and the expressions of the two of them already became ugly.

"Yes, Zhao Qingwu took away one of my sword bones."

The unspeakable silence in the room lasted for half an hour. After listening to Xie Zhengliu's story, the two stood by the window with gloomy expressions for a long time before finally digesting what happened and suppressing the anger in their hearts.

Yue Mingchou touched his precious sword: "Let's go, find that Zhao Qingwu directly, and then snatch back the sword bone she took away!"

"Not only must she get it back, but she must also let everyone know what she has done!" Zhuang Youqian also took out the talisman.

The two of them were angrier than the other, and they had no doubt that Xie Zhengliu meant to lie.

Although she had already expected this result, Xie Zhengliu's heartstrings were still plucked when she saw the trust the two people had in her.

However, she did not let the two of them just go there. Instead, she told them about Zhao Qingwu's current situation: "Zhao Qingwu is very lucky. She now lives in the yard under the name of the second young master of the Liu family. The second young master even assigned a lot of people to protect her. If we barged in casually, I'm afraid not only would we not be able to catch Zhao Qingwu, but we would also annoy the Liu family."

The Liu family can be called a local snake in Yujing City, and even the current owner of Yujing City is the current head of the Liu family, Liu Yuansu.

With such a background here, even if Xie Zhengliu and the other two were disciples of a large sect, they could not suppress this local snake.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Youqian and Yue Mingchou understood that Xie Zhengliu was right. They could only suppress their resentment towards Zhao Qingwu and wait for her to reveal her next plan.

"We can't blatantly oppose Zhao Qingwu, but she can't stay at home all the time. When she goes out, it's time for us to take action."

The conversation between the three people only floated in the room, and the rest of the sound was cut off by the formation arranged here before it could even float out of the door.

In order to get back the sword bone that originally belonged to Xie Zhengliu, they made a careful plan, but unexpectedly the plan could never keep up with the changes.

When night fell again in Yujing City, Xie Zhengliu and the others planned to take advantage of the night to take a look at Zhao Qingwu's current residence to confirm whether the person was really inside.

Although it was late for them to go out and the whole city was completely plunged into darkness, the ubiquitous lanterns and the laughter of the men and women around made Yujing City as lively as it was during the day.The three of them could only try to avoid the crowd, hide their whereabouts, and then carefully go to Mingyue Lane where Zhao Qingwu was.

However, they had just walked halfway when the lanterns that illuminated the whole city as if it were daytime suddenly went out!
Everyone looked at the scene in amazement, and some timid ones screamed on the spot. The stall owner selling low-level magical lanterns quickly injected some spiritual power into the lanterns, hoping to quickly make the lanterns light up again.

But no matter how hard they tried, the lanterns just wouldn't light up.

Seeing this scene, Xie Zhengliu's original movements suddenly stopped. She didn't care about the expressions of the other two people and quickly pulled them into the depths of the alley.

As soon as she finished doing this, a strong wind blew suddenly from the direction of the city gate, and the dust raised directly confused everyone's faces.

"What's going on? Who is causing trouble on purpose?"

"Hurry up and send someone to inform the city lord. Today is the first day of our Lantern Festival. We can't let anyone ruin it."

The noisy sound was very obvious in the darkness. Zhuang Youqian, who was hiding deep in the alley, patted Xie Zhengliu's shoulder. He was about to ask something, but was blocked by Xie Zhengliu.

"Stop talking, that thing is coming."

Her words seemed to be a precursor to a change. The moment the last words fell, the bright moon and stars above everyone's heads were covered by dark clouds. Now everyone lost even the last trace of light.

The monks subconsciously took out the fluorite to figure out what happened, but the strange thing was that the fluorite, which could be used as a lighting object at any time and anywhere, immediately dimmed until it turned into an ordinary stone as soon as it was thrown out.

At this point, is there anyone who doesn't realize that something is wrong?

The monks subconsciously became vigilant, and some even activated the formation.

They looked at each other at the people around them, fearing that some terrifying entity would emerge from the crowd at the next moment.

The noisy Yujing City gradually quieted down. In such quietness, a crisp ringtone seemed particularly harsh.

The sound of bells came from far and near, and in the darkness, two red lanterns slowly revealed their shapes from the mist that rose up from unknown time.

Xie Zhengliu and the others had silently moved to the entrance of the alley at this time. They did not dare to stick their heads out to look, but quietly pushed a small mirror out, taking a clear picture of the sedan with Jin Ling's support on all four corners.

The small sedan was covered with white gauze, and the faces of the people carrying the sedan were as pale as paper. If they didn't have two overly bright blushes on their faces, they might have been regarded as paper figures.

The mortals and monks in the busy city seemed to have been deprived of their voices and mobility at this moment. They froze in place and watched the strange sedan landing not far from them.

After the bells on the sedan's roof completely quieted down, a figure slowly opened the thick white gauze curtain and walked out.

"Good night everyone."

The man wearing a red coat and a tall black hat showed a proud smile under the cover of a feather fan.
