Chapter 225 Closing the City
There are still surviving disciples in Hehuan Sect. These surviving disciples are the disciples who have just returned to the sect. After they saw the tragic situation in the sect, they immediately reported it to Xianglong Sect.
This old man is the real helmsman of Hehuan Sect and the third elder of Xianglong Sect. After learning the news that Hehuan Sect was destroyed, he rushed over without stopping.
After the man in black left, the old man's mood gradually calmed down, "There is no one within tens of millions of miles who doesn't know that I cover the Hehuan Sect."
"Although the Xumi Sect and the Fantasy Sect have no dealings with our Xianglong Sect, there has been no friction in recent years, let alone any entanglement of interests. Could it be that their monks came to destroy the Hehuan Sect?"
"If this person was not afraid of the Xianglong Sect, he would definitely act in a high-profile manner after destroying the Hehuan Sect, but he didn't... This person must be afraid of the Xianglong Sect."
"Hmph! If I catch you, I will make you cramp and skin you!"
The old man integrated the remaining disciples of the Hehuan Sect together. The highest cultivation level of these disciples was only the Mahayana stage, which was really not enough.
"It seems that we have to train a new group of people to manage the Hehuan Sect..." the old man thought secretly in his heart.
Two hours later, a man in black appeared in front of the old man, "Third Elder, we have a clue. Several chambers of commerce in Lingxiao City found someone selling Hehuan Sect's Heart Method and Hehuan Powder. These things appeared. It’s so strange, they all appeared this morning, just in time for the Hehuan Sect to be destroyed.”
The old man frowned slightly, "Does the Chamber of Commerce know this person's identity?"
"This person is very cautious. The testimonies of the receptionists of each chamber of commerce are similar. They say that he is a female nun, with her face covered, wearing white clothes, with a clean temperament. I don't know the rest." The man in black replied respectfully.
The old man thought to himself: "Is this person so careless? Or is he doing it on purpose?"
"Knowing that if you destroy the Hehuan Sect, you will be targeted by us, yet you are still betraying the Hehuan Sect's mental method and Hehuan Powder and other items at this moment... Could it be that you are in urgent need of money?"
"Pass my order to seal off Lingxiao City. No one is allowed to enter or exit."
"Third Elder, if the city is closed, it will be difficult for the Lord of Lingxiao City to explain..." The man in black said awkwardly.
"You give this to the Lord of Lingxiao City, just say it's a piece of my mind, and just close the city for one day."
"Yes!" The man in black took the old man's storage ring and immediately rushed towards Lingxiao City.
After the old man arranged the remaining disciples of Hehuan Sect, he also rushed towards Lingxiao City.
To say that the Hehuan Sect was destroyed, the happiest people would be the Phantom Sect and the Xumi Sect.
They also sent people to the vicinity of the Hehuan Sect, firstly to find out who destroyed the Hehuan Sect, and secondly to muddy the "water" and secretly cause harm to the Xianglong Sect.
…….
In front of Lingxiao City.
The entrances and exits of the entire city were blocked by men in black, and many people who wanted to leave the city were blocked at the city gate.
"Why is the city closed?"
"The people who sealed the city are still from the Xianglong Sect, right? Did the Lord of Lingxiao City just let them seal the city?"
"Didn't they say that the people of Xianglong Sect are looking for the murderer who destroyed Hehuan Sect? Could it be that the murderer is in Lingxiao City?"
"I just want to know how long the city will be closed and I still have to go back to the sect!"
"Me too! I'm going to go on a blind date in Ziyue City next door! Now the city is closed and they won't even let you use the teleportation array tomorrow, so I'll be late for the blind date."
"..."
The closure of the city caused unrest in Lingxiao City. Naturally, Ning Ruoxi heard the rumors and planned to wait and see what would happen.
You have to know how could the hundreds of thousands of monks in Lingxiao City compromise on the closure of the city?
Moreover, the Lord of Lingxiao City served the officials, so why would he help Xianglong Sect seal the city? Many monks planned to go to the imperial capital of the dynasty to report this matter.
"Why aren't you letting me out of the city?" A young man who looked like a scholar asked angrily to the man in black at the gate of the city. The man in black had an indifferent look on his face, exuding the aura of a fairyland, "Back off, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Not to be outdone, the scholar also unleashed his cultivation in the Immortal Realm.
Human Immortal Realm can definitely be said to be a strong one in Lingxiao City.
Just when the scholar was about to speak, a giant palm shadow fell from the sky and struck the scholar.
The scholar did not resist and was immediately suppressed and killed.
The strong men in the Human Immortal Realm died so simply.
The figure of the old man appeared above the scholar's corpse like a ghost. His captivating eyes swept over the people who were mumbling about leaving the city, and the aura of the late stage of the Immortal Realm was vaguely visible on his body.
"I am the third elder of the Xianglong Sect. Who wants to leave the city?"
No one dared to say a word. Even the monks in the Human Immortal Realm were not strong enough to be killed by the old man with one palm. The other monks whose cultivation level was lower than that in the Human Immortal Realm were even more afraid to speak loudly.
"Fengcheng... Do they know that I am in Lingxiao City?" Ning Ruoxi did not act rashly. If she caused trouble again at this time, she would definitely be killed.
The scholar in the fairyland was killed without hesitation, without even investigating the background behind the scholar. It was obvious that he planned to use thunderous means to solve the problem.
After seeing that everyone had calmed down, the old man began to use his spiritual consciousness to search for the female cultivators in the room.
Ning Ruoxi was dormant silently in the inn room. With the effect of the Tianji Pearl, as long as the old man's eyes did not see her, his consciousness could not detect her aura.
"The city cannot be closed forever. After all, Lingxiao City belongs to the government..." Ning Ruoxi decided to wait until the city was closed before leaving openly.
The day passed quickly.
The old man couldn't help but become anxious, "Did the female nun leave the city after selling her things at the Chamber of Commerce?"
There are many female cultivators in Lingxiao City, but none of them match the information given by the man in black.
The highest cultivation level of these female cultivators is not beyond the tribulation stage. The old man does not believe that the tribulation cultivators can destroy the Hehuan Sect. If this is true, then Bai Hui and Shen Baixuan's so many years of practice have turned into dogs.
Furthermore, the temperament of these female cultivators is indeed not worthy of the purity mentioned by the man in black.
"Send some people to search outside the city, and the rest continue to search inside the city!" The old man gave the order again to the man in black.
After the city blockade was lifted, the teleportation array could be used again.
Ning Ruoxi went to the teleportation array as soon as possible. After paying enough spirit stones to the array master, the array master began to arrange the array. This was a ninth-level array master.
Ning Ruoxi was accompanied by seven monks who had the same destination as Ning Ruoxi.
Everyone waited quietly in the teleportation formation.
The arrangement of the teleportation array was relatively slow. It took the array master about an hour to arrange the array. The next step was to place the spirit stones to activate the array.
"Wait, routine inspection!" A man in black suddenly stopped the formation master.
When the formation master heard this, he stopped what he was doing.
The man in black used his spiritual consciousness to scan Ning Ruoxi and others in the formation. Soon, the man in black discovered something was wrong.
Ning Ruoxi is clearly there, but her spiritual sense cannot detect her...
