After knocking the two of them unconscious, searching for their magical weapons and storage bags, Chen Li played a mute note.

As the invisible light shield enveloped the room, the invisibility technique was disturbed and quickly dissipated, revealing his figure. He didn't care and slapped City Master Liu twice.

City Master Liu groaned in pain, woke up, and secretly complained, forcing himself to calm down and said: "My skills are not as good as those of others. If you want to rob money, you can do it yourself, fellow Taoist, please save your life."

"I only came here for one thing." Chen Li said expressionlessly: "To tell you the truth, the Zhou family is finished and Zhou Xutang is dead. Tell me how you discovered that group and how you informed the Zhou family.

Look at me carefully! Besides you, who else knows about this matter?"

"Impossible, this is impossible..." City Lord Liu muttered to himself as if struck by lightning when he heard that Zhou Xutang had died.

Hearing this, he knew that there was no way he could be spared, and he couldn't help but regret in his heart. Why he was so flattering and attentive to the Zhou family's orders had nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world either.

Chen Li slapped her twice again.

"If you tell me honestly, you can save yourself the trouble. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being cruel. I heard you have many heirs."

"Sir, senior, this has nothing to do with them, I said it, I said it." City Master Liu shouted loudly, with tears and runny nose streaming down his face.

…

After interrogating City Lord Liu, knock him out again and wake up another person.

The confession was correct.

Half an hour later.

Chen Li used his invisibility technique, walked out of the door covered in blood, and quickly rushed to another place.

In half a day, Chen Li ran back and forth and killed eight people in total, including the adulterer who had an affair with Lu Qian, members of the Zhou family who were stationed here, and casual cultivators who were monitoring Zhao Lin and others.

Although he knew that this was definitely not safe, it at least made the investigation more difficult.

He took a cleansing charm for himself, put on his robe again, took out a high-grade flying sword, and flew back slowly, looking at the pastoral scenery below, Chen Li silently thought about his thoughts.

Flying near Luanluo City, he saw several foundation-building monks flying around in the air, seemingly searching for something?

He flew down quickly.

After walking to the shantytown at the foot of the mountain and asking around, I found out that Luanluo City was under martial law.

"This time things really got serious!" Chen Li was secretly shocked.

He looked up at the sun and saw that it was already heading west. It was almost dusk. He gave up the idea of ​​going to the city to see the situation and hurried to the place agreed with Zhou Hong without stopping. After delaying for so long, he must have already waited.

Anxious.

The second hilltop to the west of Luanluo Mountain, although adjacent to Luanluo Mountain, was more than ten miles away. He did not dare to use flying to attract the attention of Foundation Builder, and even walked at the speed of an ordinary person.

Only when there was no one in a remote place, he would speed up and take two quick steps.

Until nightfall.

Chen Licai rushed to the agreed place.

"Zhou Hong! Where are you? You can come out now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red shadow swooped from behind the big tree and fell into Chen Li's arms like a bird in the forest.

"Why did it take so long? I thought, I thought..." Zhou Hong's eyes turned red as she spoke, and her voice sounded like she was crying.

Chen Li did not speak immediately, but took a note of silence before speaking:

"Why? Don't worry, your man is very lucky! Let me tell you some good news. Something happened to Zhou Xutang. He was killed at the gate of the city. We don't need to escape."

"What! You..." Zhou Hong stared at her watery eyes with a look of disbelief.

"What are you thinking? Of course I didn't do this. As a Qi practitioner, how could I possibly kill a strong foundation-builder?" It wasn't that Chen Li couldn't trust Zhou Hong, but he didn't want to increase her psychological burden.

Zhou Hong thought the same thing in her mind and breathed a sigh of relief. The haze in her heart had dissipated: "God has opened my eyes. It's great. This time it's finally over."

The two hugged each other and had a private conversation.

Then he headed back home.

The night was like water, and the roars of various wild beasts in the forest kept coming and going. The two of them were walking hand in hand on the rugged mountain road.

"Remember your first time in the forest?"

"Of course I remember. I was seriously injured at that time and you carried me to the forest overnight."

"What were you afraid of back then!" Zhou Hong teased.

Chen Li's old face blushed slightly when he heard this: "I just haven't been here before, what's wrong with being cautious?"

"I've always felt that you are a little different from ordinary casual cultivators?" Zhou Hong thought for a while and asked.

"What's different?"

"Some of them can't be explained, but they are just different."

The two of them chatted about each other.

When we arrived at Luanluo City, it was already late at night. Zhou Xutang's body at the gate of the city was long gone, and even the blood stains had been cleaned away.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"We will live in the city and return when we go out!" Chen Li took out an amulet, stuffed it into the other person's hand, and cupped his hands.

The monk guarding the door glanced at it, quickly stuffed it back into his sleeve pocket, and said with a slightly calm expression: "I saw someone suspicious."

"Never!"

"go in."

…

After several days of martial law in Luanluo City, things became calm again.

But Chen made it clear.

This matter is not over yet. The death of a foundation-building monk cannot pass away so peacefully. There must be an undercurrent surging behind it.

During this period, Gu Mengqing never showed up and had obviously gone out to avoid the limelight.

Five days later, Chen Li paid a visit to the ancestor of the Yu family to find out what he was talking about.

"It's most likely that this group of rebel families did this!" Yu Cheng said worriedly: "Oh, their side also died of a foundation some time ago. They probably suspected that our side did it. This time it is revenge."

What a coincidence!

Chen Li opened his mouth:

"Did the Changsheng Sect really kill one of their foundation builders?"

"How could the Changsheng Sect admit this? It's a bunch of confusion. I don't think this situation will be stable for long." Yu Cheng sighed.

After leaving Yu's house, Chen Li walked on the road, feeling both happy and worried.

Fortunately, someone took the blame for him.
