(Two-in-one updates, please give me a monthly ticket!)

Chen Huaisheng also quickly glanced around, and then lowered his voice and said: "Senior, I'm afraid I don't know much about the situation in Nanchu. As far as I know, the situation in Nanchu has been unstable in the past six months, and there have been many incidents around the Zijin Sect.

Few things,..."

Indeed, many things happened, the biggest of which was the Hanzhou Taoist Temple robbery that shocked the whole of Nanchu.

This robbery was a huge blow to the reputation of the Zijin Sect. A fourth-level Foundation Establishment member was beheaded, and many high-level and mid-level Qi Refining disciples were killed. It can be called a tragic case of the Zijin Sect in recent years.

The key is that no one can tell clearly how many people were responsible for this big robbery, and no one can tell clearly where the perpetrators came from and what kind of deities they were.

Some people say that four or five people ganged up to commit the crime, because the Taoist magic circle was destroyed from two places, causing the magic circle to collapse and finally "fall".

It is said that only one person committed the crime, because from the beginning to the end, only one person was seen fighting his way in, from beginning to end.

It was also said that there was only one person who responded outside, and his level was very low. He was probably a mid-level Qi refiner, but the killer who rushed in might be a different cultivator.

All the opinions are full of contradictions, which also caused quarrels within the Zijin Sect.

This robbery also made the Zijin Sect very nervous, and it was inevitable that suspicion would be directed at everyone around, including the Chonghua Sect.

But no matter what, there are only a few strong men in the Chonghua Sect who can kill the fourth level of foundation building independently.

The Zijin Sect also had spies in Yijun, and based on the whereabouts of the elders and deacons of the Chonghua Sect, they quickly ruled out the possibility of the Chonghua Sect.

In addition, a magic sword was picked up at the scene. It was the white stone evil cultivator that Chen Huaisheng intentionally left behind, which added to the confusion.

Although the Baishi Sect and the Zijin Sect have a tacit understanding in dealing with the Chonghua Sect, the Lingyun Sect and even the Jiulian Sect behind them, the two sides do not have an official alliance, and there is even a great conflict between the two sides in terms of their ultimate interests.

It's just that the three opposing families have the same interests at the moment. It's hard to say whether Baishimen will take advantage of the situation and rob them.

Of course, the most suspicious object of the Zijin Sect is the Canghai Sect, the biggest rival in Southern Chu.

Among the four major sects, the relationship between the Zijin Sect and the Canghai Sect has always been at odds. Over the years, the two sides have fought and clashed endlessly. However, this is the first time such a robbery and murder occurred, and the Canghai Sect also directly denied this situation.

, and there is no other evidence to prove that it was the Canghai Sect that did it.

But it can cleanly kill a fourth-level Foundation Establishment one-on-one. Looking around, it seems that only the Canghai Sect can have this strength among those who have serious conflicts with the Zijin Sect.

Of course, the Jiulian Sect in Da Zhao also has this strength, but it seems a little impossible for people from the Jiulian Sect to travel thousands of miles to Hanzhou Taoist Temple to do such a thing.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to just choose a suitable occasion to kill the disciples of the Zijin Sect. I am afraid that the deterrent effect will be even more powerful. This method of robbing the spiritual stones would be too cowardly.

Thousands of spiritual sand may be a considerable amount of wealth for casual cultivators or small sects, but for super large sects such as the Nine Lotus Sect, it is not worth mentioning.

Just because it is unclear who actually did it to them and whether there will be other similar actions in the future, the Zijin Sect is also very nervous now.

At the same time, a series of investigations were carried out, and inevitably there were some extraordinary actions, which led to constant conflicts with the Canghai Sect, and even spread to frictions and conflicts between other sects and families and the Zijin Sect.

During this period of time, conflicts continued in Yunmengzhou, Hanzhou, Huangzhou and even Jiangling.

The tense atmosphere created by these conflicts will inevitably affect the Dongfu Ghost Market, causing both the Yuanming Sect and the Zijin Sect to strengthen their precautions in the Dongfu Ghost Market to avoid another robbery that would hit the Zijin Sect and the Yuanming Sect.

But for places outside the Dongfu Ghost Market, they were relaxed. After all, manpower was limited. Anyway, the Zijin Sect and Yuan Mingzong never promised to take unlimited responsibility for things that happened outside Liuye Zhu.

Before coming here, Chen Huaisheng also did some research, but he was worried about whether there would be any risks in coming here if the Zijin Sect investigated too strictly.

But now the Zijin Sect has strengthened the internal prevention of the ghost market, but they don't have so much energy to manage the outside. This is a good thing for their own industry. Anyway, they don't plan to do anything in the ghost market.

Therefore, Chen Huaisheng's reminder is not an empty threat, but a real one.

The elegant monk was surprised when he heard what Chen Huaisheng said.

He came directly from Bianjing of Great Zhao via Huai County.

The original plan was to visit the Dongfu Ghost Market, then go upstream to Jiangling, and finally sail east back to Wuyue. I didn’t know much about the situation in Nanchu.

Who would have ever thought of spending tens of thousands of spiritual stones to buy two spiritual birds and beasts at the Dongfu Ghost Market, but I didn’t think anything of it before, but now that I think about it, it’s really a bit crazy.

This is not in Wuyue. It is still five to six thousand miles away from the gate of the Holy Fire Sect, and it is still two to three thousand miles away from the territory of Wuyue. If something happens, I am really helpless and helpless.

After calming down his mind, the elegant monk tried his best to keep himself as calm as possible.

Maybe this guy is trying to scare himself?

I can see that the cavern ghost market is in good order, and there is no forced buying or selling.

Moreover, tomorrow's auction will continue as usual. If anything happens, it is said that each item in this kind of auction is a transaction of tens of thousands of spiritual stones. Aren't you afraid of being robbed?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. The elegant monk glanced at Chen Huaisheng and said, "Thank you, little brother, for reminding me. I guess the order of Yuan Mingzong and Zijin Sect can still be maintained? Even the business in this ghost market is not guaranteed. Who can do it in the future?"

Will you still come here to trade?”

Seeing that the other party's face changed several times and then regained his composure, and there seemed to be some disbelief in his words, Chen Huaisheng probably understood what the other party was thinking.

I only had a one-time acquaintance with him, it was just a transaction. From another perspective, it was reasonable for the other party to suspect that he had intentions for the spiritual bird and beast in his body.

Maybe he just made false threats like this, and then gained the other party's trust in him, so that he could finally make a move?

Thinking of this, Chen Huaisheng shrugged: "Senior, you will know more if you ask more. This is what I have said. In short, be careful and sail the boat for ten thousand years. I believe that the seniors are bold in their skills, but it is the juniors who are too worried."

Chen Huaisheng regarded retreat as advancement, and after finishing speaking, he stopped talking.

After dinner, Chen Huaisheng and Hu Delu went back to the room.

Hu Delu was curious about how Chen Huaisheng became so familiar with the other party, but Chen Huaisheng didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask.

Before midnight, someone knocked on the door, and Chen Huaisheng naturally knew who it was.

Opening the door to welcome guests, as expected, it was that person.

When Yu Fengqian returned to his small courtyard, he immediately sent out a flying visa and received a reply more than an hour later.

At this time, he had already discovered something strange in his room. In addition, a dark figure on a high pole swaying in the wind ten feet away from the window was also exposed in his Jiuyi illusion.

…

"How come the seniors think that the juniors are not just being alarmist to win the favor and trust of the seniors, or that they are actually counterattacks with evil intentions?" Chen Huaisheng asked with a smile while making tea again.

"Of course I have my own channels to understand." The elegant monk frowned deeply and said to himself: "I didn't expect that the current situation of the Zijin Sect is so bad. When I was in Wuyue and even Da Zhao, I heard that the Zijin Sect was not the fourth generation of Southern Chu.

One of the big ones? Why did it become so chaotic all of a sudden?"

He used the flying lottery technique to contact an acquaintance in Huai County, Zhao Dynasty, two hundred miles away, and learned some information, which was basically consistent with what Chen Huaisheng said.

In addition, Chen Huaisheng has a big ear and a face full of righteousness, which gave him a good intuitive impression.

Of course this is not the main thing, he has his own means.

"Senior, it doesn't make much sense to ask these questions now. Senior should consider how to leave safely. Did you find that someone is targeting senior?" Chen Huaisheng asked firmly.

Chen Huaisheng believed that if someone really wanted to take advantage of this person, they would definitely target this inn tonight. In addition, there must be spies in the east and west gates of the ghost market.

There may even be spiritual birds such as the purple-eyed night owl and the white-spotted ghost-faced owl staring at the target in the surrounding area.

Night is the easiest time to escape.

The ghost market is open day and night, and you can leave at any time, but you can only leave through the east and west gates. The rest of the places are restricted to prevent people with evil intentions from sneaking in.

At the beginning of tomorrow, that is, at 7 p.m., the auction will end, and there will be an hour's leave time for all guests to either leave or return to the inn.

Guests who return to the inn will have specialized personnel to clean them one by one, which means they need to pay another fee of ten spiritual stones.

The vast majority of guests will choose to leave the venue after bidding. This is the best opportunity to escape, because there are many people leaving the venue at that time, and they are very alert, and any rash action may lead to counterattacks.

But only after leaving the venue at this time is the opportunity for those with evil intentions. If they act rashly in the venue, they will be suppressed by the spiritual practitioners stationed at any time.

"There is a ghost-faced owl in the tall reeds ten feet outside the small courtyard where I live. It was well hidden, but I still discovered it." The elegant monk said calmly: "In addition, someone has entered the room in my small courtyard.

During such a short period of time while I was eating, a very clever little spell was installed to detect my movements."

Chen Huaisheng didn't ask the other party how he found out. Every sect has its own small restrictions when going out.

"One group of people, or two groups of people?" Chen Huaisheng thought for a while and asked.

"I don't know." The elegant monk rubbed his temples: "Do you think I need to move out of the courtyard and find another place?"

Only now did he realize his lack of outside experience.

As for how to deal with this kind of thing, I couldn't come up with any more countermeasures, so I had to turn to a junior who also gave me the first stage of Qi Refining, and this guy actually only had a relationship with me.

It's shameful to think about it.

Hearing what the elegant monk said, Chen Huaisheng was also surprised that he actually asked such a question?

"Senior, isn't it like this to alert others and let people know that senior already knows that they are spying on senior again?" Chen Huaisheng paused, "Senior came to this junior without any cover-up, right?"

The elegant monk was stunned and slightly ashamed, "Well, I really didn't expect that..."

Chen Huaisheng couldn't help sighing and holding his forehead.

A man who is at the peak of Qi refining doesn't even have this bit of common sense?

At first, the other party was very convincing when discussing the business. I had also heard him say that he could detect spells in the room and find the ghost-faced owl outside the window. I thought that the other party was also a veteran, but he just didn't understand the situation here.

I didn’t expect that I didn’t even take the most basic precautions, so I just came straight into my house. Isn’t this harming myself?

I have really become trapped in a cocoon. No, I am getting angry. Maybe this guy can escape in the future, but I will have difficulty escaping.

His face was a little feverish, so the elegant monk subconsciously covered his face with his hands, and his voice lowered a few degrees, "Sorry, I'm a little anxious..."

"Forget it, needless to say, if there are really two groups of people, it might be a good thing. In order to snatch the Leopard and Snow Dove from you, what if they got into a fight first?"

Chen Huaisheng joked in a self-deprecating way: "The snipe and the clam are fighting, but we fishermen benefit?"
