It's a pity that this thief still succeeded.
It can even be said that he escaped under Dongfang Su's nose.
How could Dongfang Su accept this?
The next few nights.
Dongfang Su is still in charge personally.
But there is no exception.
Tragedy still happens every time.
And every time, Dongfang Su could only see the black shadow running away, but could not catch it.
After doing it again and again, Dongfang Su completely lost his patience.
He directly dispatched all the masters in the palace.
And invited three major sects to come and help.
The entire capital was tightly defended.
Even if a fly flies by, there is nowhere to escape.
Another night has fallen.
Dongfang Su stood under the night sky, looking around.
This time, he was confident that he could catch the black shadow.
But this night.
and nothing happened.
The black shadow did not appear.
No people died.
Everyone was so prepared, but their efforts were wasted.
"This person must have realized that it would be difficult to do something, so he hid it."
Dongfang Su judged.
This night was passed peacefully.
In the next few days and nights, the capital city was still so tightly defended.
Such methods are indeed effective.
But it can't last too long.
The masters of the imperial palace and the masters of the three major sects cannot keep an eye on the capital all day long.
Especially the three major sects.
They are here to help.
I'm not here to work for you Dongfang Su.
Day is ok.
Ten days and a half month is also fine.
Even if it takes a month, the three major sects will not be unable to accept it.
But if they can't catch the murderer in one day, will they have to waste time in the capital?
This is obviously unrealistic.
So Dongfang Su was very anxious.
If the murderer cannot be caught again, the people will be panicked and they will also be under great pressure.
Just when Dongfang Su was worried.
The murder actually happened outside the capital city.
In a village less than a hundred miles away from the capital, more than a dozen people died overnight.
Like several murder cases in the capital, the soul was taken away.
When the news reached the capital, Dongfang Su was extremely angry.
Because it represents him
Their pursuit and interception in the past few days has been completely meaningless.
Everyone has fled the capital and started committing crimes outside.
No wonder he hasn't appeared in the past few days.
As the tragedy occurred, some rumors began to spread among the people.
Some people say that these people had their souls sucked away by monsters.
Some people also say that these murder cases are crimes sent down by heaven because of the emperor's misconduct.
Some people also implicated these murders in the newly born Princess Linglong.
It is said that Princess Linglong is a disaster star, and her birth will bring huge disaster to the Tianwu Dynasty.
Once rumors start to spread, they will naturally become more intense and even more outrageous.
At first, Dongfang Su didn't take these rumors to heart.
But it wasn't until rumors began to spread in the palace that Dongfang Su realized something was wrong.
He immediately issued an order prohibiting anyone from spreading these rumors.
And once anyone spreads rumors, he will be immediately arrested and thrown into a prison.
As a result, there have been fewer rumors.
But it was not eradicated.
It is still being spread secretly.
And tragedies are still happening day by day.
This murderer would strike in a different place every time.
Dongfang Su couldn't catch him at all.
One month's time.
Nearly two hundred people died at the hands of this man.
People are in chaos!
Everyone is terrified!
The entire Tianwu Dynasty fell into an atmosphere of panic.
There were even murders in the market at the foot of Fuyun Mountain.
This day.
Ye Qingyun took Da Mao down the mountain to the market.
But I found that the market became extremely deserted.
The originally bustling market had not seen a single person for a long time.
Every house has its doors closed.
"what happened?"
Ye Qingyun was a little strange.
At this time on weekdays, the market should be very lively.
Why is today so abnormal?
Ye Qingyun wandered around for a long time, but in the end, there were only a few people in the market where cultivators gathered, and ordinary people could not see any of them.
Ye Qingyun then gathered with these cultivators.
Chapter completed!
