The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Chapter 119: Murder and Treasure Hunt

As time went by, Qingling Market became more and more lively.

This was all thanks to the free and open policy of the market, which attracted a large number of casual cultivators to settle down.

However, this policy also brought some problems. Since there were no threshold restrictions, many casual cultivators with bad morals took the opportunity to mix in.

They took advantage of the free environment of the market and frequently caused fraud and disputes involving inferior goods. These problems brought great pressure to the management of the market.

In order to solve these problems, under the instruction of Cao Rui, Zhang Mo led the inner disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect to establish a market law enforcement team, and also hired some casual cultivators with decent strength and moral character as team members.

This team is responsible for maintaining the order of the market and handling various disputes.

However, as the market became more and more prosperous, disputes also increased, and the work pressure of the law enforcement team gradually increased.

Recently, Zhang Mo and his team members had to deal with several disputes almost every day, and they were very busy.

On this day, Zhang Mo had just dealt with a fraud case and had not had time to rest when he received another report of a dispute involving inferior goods being sold as good ones.

He quickly led the law enforcement team to the scene, only to see a casual cultivator arguing with the owner of a refining shop.

After some questioning, it turned out that the casual cultivator bought a defective magic weapon for cheapness, and then found that the material of the magic weapon had problems and its power was rapidly weakened, so he asked to return the magic weapon.

However, the shop owner refused to return the spirit stone, believing that he had clearly informed the defects of the magic weapon and there was no fraud.

The disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect arrived, and the atmosphere between the two sides was obviously eased.

Zhang Mo carefully examined the magic weapon and asked for the opinions of both parties.

In the end, according to the regulations of the market, he determined that the shop owner should give certain compensation, but the casual cultivator also needed to bear part of the responsibility.

After mediation, the two sides reached a settlement agreement and the dispute was settled.

......

On this day, Zhang Mo patrolled the market as usual.

Suddenly, a group of panicked and hurried casual cultivators came towards Zhang Mo.

Their faces were full of fear and anger, as if something urgent had happened.

"Captain Zhang, there is a killing and treasure-stealing outside the market!" A casual cultivator panted, his eyes full of anger.

"We all know that casual cultivator. He usually grows spiritual fields. This time he just harvested a batch of spiritual rice and brought it to the market to exchange for elixirs. Unexpectedly, he was killed as soon as he left the market." Another casual cultivator said immediately, with a trace of grief in his voice.

"I saw that the cultivator who attacked and killed with his hands looked a bit like a demon cultivator!" The third casual cultivator added, his tone full of vigilance.

"Did you see the appearance of the demon cultivator clearly?" Zhang Mo asked, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The casual cultivators shook their heads, saying that the situation was too chaotic at the time. They only remembered that the cultivator who attacked and killed was tall and wore a black robe.

Zhang Mo nodded, with a plan in mind.

He comforted the scattered cultivators for a few words, then quickly summoned a few men and prepared to go to the scene outside the market to check the situation.

Killing and robbing treasures is a serious crime, and it is strictly prohibited in Qingling Market.

Doing such evil things around Qingling Market is tantamount to openly provoking the Spirit Beast Sect.

This is the first case of killing and robbing treasures since the establishment of Qingling Market, and it must be dealt with quickly and properly.

Zhang Mo led five disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining and hurried to the outside of the market.

Not long after.

Zhang Mo arrived at the scene of killing and robbing treasures.

According to the description of the scattered cultivators around, the killed scattered cultivators were first killed by a magic weapon, and after the storage bag on their bodies was taken away, they were directly destroyed by a fireball.

Now there is only a pile of charred black on the ground, and there is not even a bone left.

There are many scattered cultivators watching around, all watching how the Spirit Beast Sect will deal with this matter.

If this matter is not handled properly, the morale of Qingling Market will definitely decline.

Zhang Mo felt a little tricky, but he still calmly contacted Cao Rui through the equipped voice transmitter and explained the situation on the scene.

"I know."

"You wait where you are."

Cao Rui frowned slightly after hearing the news.

Dare to kill and rob treasures in Qingling Xiuxian Market, this guy is really bold and reckless.

However, killing and robbing treasures is a common thing in the Xiuxian world.

Qingling Xiuxian Market has been open for so long, and there has been no case of killing and robbing treasures, which is rare.

In order to be on the safe side, Cao Rui went to the next door to call Ye Yunyin, and called Heiyu to rush from the cultivation tower.

......

Zhang Mo waited in place, and more and more cultivators came around after hearing the news.

A moment later, a black shadow rushed from the horizon.

When they got closer, they found that the shadow was actually a giant black spiritual bird. The spiritual bird exuded a strong aura, which made people feel awed.

As the spiritual bird landed on the ground, two monks jumped off the eagle's back.

One of the young men in black robes had a handsome face, a calm temperament, and a deep calmness in his eyes. It was Cao Rui.

The aura of the first-level spiritual beast made the surrounding casual cultivators feel pressured. They unconsciously stepped back a few steps, with expressions of surprise and fear on their faces.

"What a strong monster!" Someone exclaimed, with fear in his eyes.

"What do you know! That Cao Fangzhu is here! The spiritual beast mounts in Cao Fang City are at the first-level realm!"

"Did you see that? The foundation-building elders of the Spirit Beast Sect also moved!"

"The Spirit Beast Sect really takes this matter very seriously. It depends on whether we can find the thief cultivator who killed and robbed treasures!" The casual cultivators discussed it.

"Dare to kill and rob treasures in Qingling Market, just to seek death."

Cao Rui spoke to express his attitude, and his voice slightly condensed with magic power, so that the casual cultivators who were watching could hear it clearly.

Cao Rui took out the small array plate and adjusted the retracing function on it.

This third-level defensive array has the function of retracing scenes near the array.

It can retrace scenes inside and outside the array within three days.

The place where the killing and robbing treasures here is not too far from the range of the array, just within the range of the scene that can be retraced.

As Cao Rui manipulated, the scene of this place quickly appeared on the small array plate.

After Cao Rui locked the target in the scene, the scene began to focus on the killed casual cultivator as the center of the perspective.

In the retracing scene, this casual cultivator left the market and then cast a magic movement on himself.

The Divine Movement Technique is the same as the Light Feather Technique. It is a 0-level non-attribute spell used by some cultivators for daily travel.

Qinglingfang City is cultivating immortals on the mountain peak, so this casual cultivator cast the Divine Movement Technique and then went all the way down.

He didn't walk for too long.

Suddenly, a sharp magic weapon sword swept through the bushes in front of him.

This is obviously the sword control technique.

The speed and power of the magic sword are very strong. The casual cultivator had no time to react and was pierced through the head by the magic sword.
