Chapter 119 The three families are combined
"This is all the evidence?" Zhu Xuanji came to the Zhou family.
The head of the Zhou family personally entertained.
Zhu Xuanji got straight to the point and said that he heard the attack and rushed over immediately.
"This may be the handiwork of the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator! According to our previous guess, someone secretly released him."
"This is an evil force lurking in the shadows!"
"If we hadn't found out in time, I'm afraid the two qi refining geniuses of my Zhou family would have fallen."
The head of the Zhou family looked heavy.
Zhu Xuanji pinched the dead ant corpse in his hand, his eyes blooming with golden light, urging him to trace back to the roots.
He remained silent all the time.
The head of the Zhou family looked hopeful and asked him what he had discovered.
Zhu Xuanji shook his head.
"Your family's evidence alone is not enough, I'll go to the other houses to take a look." Zhu Xuanji bid farewell to the head of the Zhou family.
He successively went to the City Lord's Mansion, the Zheng Family, and Ning Zhuo's Courtyard.
The results of the investigation did not surprise him.
There are clues, and there are many.
The problem lies in "a lot"!
The root trace method can detect closely related things, but this close relationship can be multifaceted.
For example, from the poison residue that poisoned Ning Xiaohui, Zhu Xuanji found relevant raw materials, decoction boys, medicine slaves, etc.
Based on this alone, can you judge that the decoction boy and the medicine slave are the murderers?
No, I can't.
Because they decoct medicine and deliver medicine separately are closely related to poison.
But can you be sure that they are not the murderers?
No, it cannot.
Because, they may be secretly administering medicine while decocting or delivering medicine.
Tracing back to the roots can only find clues.
If you really want to investigate in depth, you have to rely on Zhu Xuanji's various interrogation methods.
But Zhu Xuanji planned to stop.
There are too many clues, and if he wants to investigate, it will involve a terrifying amount of energy and time.
Zhu Xuanji was very suspicious: This was deliberately arranged by the murderer in order to delay the progress of his investigation!
Just like the previous Fire Persimmon Festival, the mechanism monkey changed and attacked Yuan Er.
Afterwards, Zhu Xuanji traced many clues from the remains of these mechanisms of the hot monkeys.
Are these clues useful?
Little value.
What Zhu Xuanji likes to see is that only a few clues are revealed under the root trace. The fewer clues, the more valuable it is to investigate!
But now, every piece of evidence has so many clues.
Then, the murderer's attempt to trace back to the root is very obvious!
However, this was also expected by Zhu Xuanji.
The reputation of tracing the roots is becoming more and more widespread, and many powerful individuals or forces will consciously take precautions.
The exercises in this world are all tools to help monks better realize a certain vision.
Since it is a tool, it can be targeted.
What is difficult to target has always been the strongest among people, not an excellent tool.
There are no invincible exercises, only invincible monks.
"I originally hoped that the murderer would show his flaws, but I thought it was a little beautiful."
Zhu Xuanji left the Quartet forces and decided to continue according to the previous investigation plan.
"Perhaps, my step-by-step investigation has put pressure on the murderer. That's why these attacks are trying to attract my attention!"
Zhu Xuanji's brows kept frowning.
After investigating around, he always felt that something was wrong and strange in his heart.
But what was wrong, he thought about it carefully, and found nothing. Not only that, but the previous weird feeling also dissipated.
Zhu Xuanji's follow-up actions disappointed the patriarchs of the three major families.
The heads of the three families met secretly to discuss the big plan.
"Zhu Shen's capture is really disappointing."
"Perhaps, he has already found out which force is responsible for it. But because of his identity, he can't make it public."
"What do you mean?"
The three patriarchs fell silent.
Although they didn't say it explicitly, they all knew that it was referring to the City Lord's Mansion!
Whether it was the last attack or this time, the City Lord's Mansion actually suffered the least losses.
No, more precisely, a blessing in disguise.
Meng Chong had a great reputation because he eradicated the assassins twice, firmly suppressing the other three qi refining geniuses into a disadvantage.
"Since Meng Yan took office, he has gotten along well with all three of my families. This time it may not be his hand. After all, Meng Chong has always been far ahead in exploring the fairy palace." The head of the Zheng family said.
The head of the Ning family also analyzed: "In the last attack, I did suspect the city lord's mansion. But this time, the intensity of the assassination was extremely high, and it was about to kill all the qi refining geniuses of our three families. Maybe there is really a secret force plotting against me?"
The head of the Zhou family shook his head and sneered: "Didn't you and the genius juniors of the three families not die?"
"Even if he is dead, can he find the city lord's mansion?"
The head of the Zhou family sighed deeply: "The Meng family is the big family of my Nandou Immortal Kingdom."
"When the Mongolian monks take action, they are generally full of aggression and have a strong temperament."
"Especially the four generals of the Meng family, all of them had great military achievements and slaughtered thousands of people. Not to mention the other three fierce generals, Meng Yan is also one of the four generals, which seems peaceful and amiable, but in fact it is all an illusion."
"Think about it, since he took office, have the three of us been doing well?"
"Is it much more depressed than the previous city lords?"
"I don't know if the two Taoists have investigated Meng Yan's past battle reports. This person is better at making the game than our Zhou family, and has a nickname called 'Prime Minister on the Mountain'."
"Will such a person be easy to get along with?"
The head of the Ning family thought about it: "Since you said this, I actually feel the same way."
"For the Lava Immortal Palace, it was the first to be discovered by the City Lord's Mansion."
"Next is the Zhou family and the Zheng family."
"According to my clan's inquiry information, I learned that the two families united to bribe Meng Yan in private, asking him not to report to the court."
"But think about it, if Meng Yan reported it immediately when he found out, what else would happen to us?"
"On the surface, it was the Zhou and Zheng families who took the initiative to ask him to cooperate, but is this already within his layout?"
The head of the Zheng family snorted coldly: "Very likely!"
"Meng Yan is actually more difficult to deal with than the rest of the Meng family, because he is more insidious."
"Relying on the Lava Immortal Palace, he asked all three of us to actively cooperate with him, so that he has been in charge of the Immortal City over the years, and the government orders are clear, and the upper and lower levels are harmonious."
"Before, he deliberately released the news and relaxed surveillance, attracting countless scattered cultivators and demon cultivators to explore the Red Flame Demon Cave."
"Over the years, I don't know how many people have died. These people used their lives to fill in and killed countless red flame monsters, causing the pressure on the fairy palace to plummet, so that the city lord's mansion gradually learned detailed information about the fairy palace, the red flame demon lava cave, etc."
"If you really want the city lord's mansion to do it alone, by now, I'm afraid that all the people in the city guard army are dead."
The head of the Zhou family added: "Since the birth of the Lava Immortal Palace, Meng Yan has personally sat in charge and suppressed the Immortal Palace with all his might, strictly forbidding anyone from approaching."
"Hmph!"
"His excuse is very good, it is extremely high-sounding."
"In fact, his move on this trip completely prevented our three monks from entering the Immortal Palace to explore the remains of the Immortal Palace."
In the past, it was very troublesome for the monks of the Zhou and Zheng families to enter the fairy palace.
You have to climb to the top of the volcano, enter the Red Flame Demon Lava Cave, and choose the correct path to enter the fairy palace in the mountain.
In the process, they also had to face the red flame monsters along the way.
Eventually, the monk came into contact with the Asgard but was unable to break through. Only when the mechanical technique has already been recognized by the palace spirit can he enter the fairy palace.
Originally, when the Immortal Palace was born, the three monks could easily enter and exit frequently.
But Meng Yan's personal suppression made it impossible for the three families to contact the fairy palace.
Although there were no monks in the City Lord's Mansion entering the Immortal Palace, the three families knew very well that the competitiveness of the City Lord's Mansion was far inferior to that of the Qi Refinement Period in this regard.
In the competition of the Qi Refinement Period, Meng Chong is a super talent - this advantage is really too great!
The head of the Zhou family was full of sincerity: "At this point, it doesn't matter whether you find the real culprit or not. The important thing is the lava fairy palace!"
The other two clan leaders nodded one after another.
The head of the Zhou family struck while the iron was hot: "Only by uniting and cooperating more closely can we compete with the city lord's mansion."
"As a sign of sincerity, I am willing to fully open the Gathering and Dispersing Ruyi Lingxi Formation and provide it to the two families for use."
The two patriarchs of the Ning family and the Zheng family were a little surprised.
The opening of this gathering and dispersing Ruyi Lingxi Formation was a point that the Zhou family head never let go of when they were negotiating before.
Unexpectedly, this assassination, the two geniuses of the Zhou family were injured the most, but it prompted the head of the Zhou family to make up their minds and come up with the Gathering and Dispersing Ruyi Lingxi Formation.
"Okay." The head of the Zheng family high-fived, "In that case, I will take out the heritage of my clan - the sharp needle."
The head of the Ning family nodded: "Then my Ning family will take out the ice light strong pulse talisman."
The Gathering and Dispersing Ruyi Spiritual Xi Formation can help monks breathe out faster and accumulate mana.
The sharp needle can open up the qi veins in the monk's body in advance during the qi refining period, saving the monk the hard work of grinding.
The ice light strong pulse Fu could make the qi veins in the monk's body cover with a layer of ice light. With this layer of protection, the monk can breathe in at a speed 30% higher than the limit, without worrying that the qi veins will not be able to support it and be washed away by mana.
The three genius monks were injured one after another and needed to recuperate.
They urgently needed other members of the renovation team to raise their respective cultivation levels.
These assassinations made the heads of the three families realize the cruelty of competition and the strength and domineering of their opponents.
They put down their bodies and collaborated more actively.
Rather be responsible for the house.
Restaurant.
"Mother, how long will we wait?" Ning Ji just stretched out his chopsticks and wanted to pick up the vegetables, but his mother Wang Lan directly pulled the back of his hand with chopsticks.
Ning Ji was in pain and suddenly withdrew his palm.
Wang Lan glared at her beloved son: "What if you wait for a while?"
"Your father is still in prison, how can you eat?"
Ning Ji covered the back of his hand: "But, we don't need to wait for Ning Zhuo to come over before eating. We never had this rule before, didn't we all eat first?"
Wang Lan snorted coldly: "How can the present be compared with the past?"
"Ning Zhuo is so valued by the young patriarch, as long as he says good things to the young patriarch and intercedes with your father, your father will be able to come out!"
