67 The Man Behind the Scenes
As expected, Zhou Suren didn't ask any more questions, but the magic weapon to detect evil spirits didn't work, so he couldn't track the murderer, and there was still no solution.
At this time, Ye Yong timely took out the props matching the Qi Bian powder, [Qi Seeking Compass], set the purple mist as the tracking object, and handed the compass to Zhou Suren, who then handed it over to the capable minister he trusted. The minister immediately led the team to follow the compass guidance to find the murderer.
"Luck is such a wonderful thing. Ye Wen, this time I am taking advantage of your Ye family." Zhou Suren could not have known that Ye Yong had a treasure bag, and he had never thought that 'luck' could be used. Forced by the system. He believed that capturing the demon cultivator alive and finding out the murderer who killed the demon cultivator were all due to Ye Yong's great luck.
"Don't say these useless words, it's better to give some thank you money." Ye Wen always remembers to fight for benefits for his Yong'er, and as a good friend, he doesn't need to be polite to Zhou Suren.
"That's for sure. If you include the bounty for catching the demon cultivator later, you will definitely be satisfied." The great Zhou Dynasty has ten thousand years of history. Zhou Suren can be said to be rich and wealthy, and he can have a good relationship with a young man with a promising future. , what is mere property?
"I'm not worthy of it. This junior just tried his best." Ye Yong actually doesn't care about the ten-thousand-year foundation. He only wants the ancient token. Now Zhou Suren's attitude towards him is good, but there is still a long way to go before letting him enter the treasure house to choose whatever he wants. If possible, Ye Yong hopes to accumulate the 'thank you fee' continuously. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, Zhou Suren will feel that he owes Ye Yong so much, and he will naturally open the treasure house to him.
"You call this a meager effort, so aren't my efforts and those of the ministers just in vain? Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."
It's a pity that no matter how Ye Yong tries to evade it, the thank you fee will be thrown directly at him. Who can understand his pain? From time travel to now, storage bags and storage rings are filled one after another. In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Yongfu is very rich, but in Ye Yong's eyes, these are not as safe and practical as the sense of security and solidity that thousands of reversal points bring him.
Treasures that he does not need are not called treasures. Ye Yong guesses that he will have to find time to give some of them to the younger generations of the Ye family and those he likes.
——Imperial City
Upon discovering that Mei Renxing had been killed, the Imperial City immediately activated the highest level of alert. The entire Imperial City was shrouded in a powerful magic circle, and not even a fly could fly out.
In the most prosperous business district of the Imperial City, in a private room on the top floor of a top-notch restaurant.
An extraordinary young man in purple clothes stood in front of the balcony, looking down at the pedestrians walking below, with an arrogance in his eyes that looked down upon all living beings. He glanced at the splendid palace in the distance again, and snorted with disdain: "The small human race is intoxicated with money, and is lowly and noisy without knowing it. When I win the position of Demon Emperor, I will tear up the peace treaty and destroy all The human race has become a slave with little capital, and will never be able to stand up again."
"As expected of Master Peng!" Several dog-looking guys behind him echoed.
Suddenly a strange wind blew in from the balcony, and a figure appeared out of thin air in the private room. He knelt on the ground and said, "Living up to the young master's expectations, I succeeded in brutally killing the elder of the Blood Flame Sect to death."
The young man known as Master Peng turned around and nodded with satisfaction: "Well done. This demon cultivator was caught by the human monks in advance, so he is lucky. A small demon sect that has never been heard of, unexpectedly The woman who dares to hurt me! I will find all the remaining members and sacrifice them to death!"
"Miss Ye Qingwu would definitely be very moved if she knew that Master you have silently sacrificed for her."
"Yes, if the human rats of the Blood Flame Sect weren't so good at hiding and spread out, I could kill them all myself."
"Pull them down. They have strong men at the tenth level. Miss Ye risked injury to repel them. Is it just you?"
What was originally a flattering session quickly turned into a scene of self-praising and mutual ridicule.
There is no other reason, because everyone wants to leave a good impression in front of Master Peng.
"That's enough. Now you can find one and kill each one." Master Peng took out a fifth-grade demon pill and threw it to the figure kneeling on the ground: "The reward promised to you will be rewarded after you leave here."
"Thank you, Master!" This guy, who looks a bit wretched and is extremely thin, as if he would fall over if blown by the wind, is Liu Xu, the murderer who sneaked into the secret cell and bled Mei Renxing to death.
As the name suggests, he was originally a little catkin, but by chance, he opened up his spiritual wisdom and became a demon cultivator. The road to cultivating a demon is very difficult, especially for those who are born halfway. After thousands of years of hard work and hard work, Liu Xu was able to achieve the fifth level of Demon King he is today.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not compare to Master Peng, who was a demon since birth. Whether it's talent or family resources, everything is available.
Liu Xu is very open-minded. After all, he has lived for thousands of years and knows the current affairs. Since he became Master Peng's follower, he has enjoyed a good life. Although he occasionally has to endure Master Peng's temper, it is better than fighting alone. I don’t know how many times.
After getting the fifth-grade demon pill, Liu Xu couldn't wait to drink it, and his whole body trembled, feeling extremely happy.
The private room has long been set up with an isolation formation. The outside world cannot detect the entrance, and the fluctuations in the demonic power here will not spread out.
The demon next to him could only watch Liu Xu refining the elixir with envy.
There is no way, it is extremely difficult to sneak into the secret prison of the human dynasty silently, Liu Xu is the most suitable for this task. He only needs to change back to his original form and attach himself to the guard's clothes or equipment, and ordinary monks will not notice it at all.
As for why not take a strong attack? Not to mention the "Human-Monster Peace Treaty" signed by the older generation, which restricts young monsters like Master Peng who were born into a monster family from misbehaving in human cities. Simply speaking, the city defense formation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not theirs. Can handle it.
Although as the spiritual energy becomes weaker and weaker, the cultivation of later generations has declined, and the number of strong human beings has gradually decreased. But the Zhou Dynasty has a history of ten thousand years, and there have been some strong men from Dongxu and even Mahayana before. It can be said that the three major dynasties of the Eastern Continent have all had powerful Mahayana warriors. It is precisely because of the Mahayana town that they can gain a firm foothold in the fiercely competitive world of monks, develop steadily, and leave other countries behind to transform. For the dynasty.
The imperial city is full of powerful people, so it goes without saying that the strength of the city defense formation is more than enough to deal with the late stage of Dongxu, and it can even block one or two in the early stage of Mahayana.
The one with the highest cultivation level present is Master Peng, who is on the tenth level of the Demon King, just like Ye Qingwu, but he broke through earlier than Ye Qingwu and is about to reach the peak of perfection. Even such an arrogant Master Peng had to keep a low profile when he came to the big human city and did not dare to reveal his identity.
Once exposed, he was also found to have ordered his men to kill prisoners of the dynasty... Perhaps the Zhou Dynasty could not do anything to him, but after returning to the family, he would be punished for breaking the peace treaty.
However, Master Peng is very confident about Liu Xu's abilities. He does not think that any human monks will be able to trace Liu Xu's traces, at least not with the current human cultivation level of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Now as long as he stays here quietly for a while, and when the warning is lifted, he can put his clothes on and go away, hiding his merit and fame.
Thinking of killing all the senior officials of the Blood Flame Sect in one fell swoop, and giving them to Ye Qingwu as a magic weapon through blood sacrifice, to show that he had avenged her... Master Peng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction at the corners of his mouth.
