The long sword, which was originally as powerful as a rainbow, stagnated in the air, and the bluish-white light kept changing, seeming to be in a very unstable state.
The flames took the opportunity to counterattack and swept over. The purple-red light became stronger and stronger, and soon suppressed the blue-white long sword. It started to devour the sword bit by bit, and soon approached Pang Juan.
At this moment, Pang Juan was completely powerless. He was floating in the air, with holes in his eyes, like a walking corpse. Seeing the flames swallowing him up, he seemed to want to escape, but his body refused to obey.
Finally, the raging flames rushed to Pang Juan's body, melting his bones and flesh, and the shadow spiritual power bit him crazily, and soon he was completely swallowed up.
When the flames gradually dissipated, a cloud of white bone powder fell from the sky, which was the last trace left by Pang Juan in this world.
Li Xuan slumped on the ground, unable to breathe, breathing heavily.
In order to kill Pang Juan, he had used all his methods, but now he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, he still had three loyal demon servants. The space beside him trembled, and the head of the succubus popped out from the different space. When she saw Li Xuan's tired look, she rushed over and wiped Li Xuan's heart distressedly.
Start sweating.
"Get me out of here quickly."
Li Xuan said.
Things got serious and Pang Juan disappeared. Even if Long Wenya wanted to cover it up, it would still be a big trouble.
Although he let out a bad breath, Pang Juan was already so powerful that Li Xuan couldn't help but be afraid of the Du family and his son behind him.
In order to avoid causing more trouble, it is better to leave as soon as possible.
Li Xuan helped the succubus stand up, then called to the demons and ghosts and said, "Go and find a piece of silver inner armor in the ruins. When you find it, give it to me."
He still remembered the silver shark inner armor that Pang Juan wore close to his body. If it could be found, it would also be a very useful piece of armor.
It is also a secret move to fight against other monks.
After Li Xuan left for a long time, the guards from Luoyi City approached cautiously.
Anyone with a normal IQ knows that a battle between monks just took place here. Unless it is over, no one will risk their lives to watch the fun.
Seeing the collapsed Meng Lvren Inn, the guards looked timid.
They stopped and waited for a long time, until people from Jixia College arrived, and then they dared to approach the ruins.
This time Jixia College sent someone of dean level. Ge Hong and Liu Xiang stood in front of the ruins with their brows furrowed, as if they had encountered some difficulty.
"This is at least something that only the peak of the five-star golden elixir can do, and the method of detonating the spell is very strange."
Ge Hong is the dean of the Taoist school and has a deep research on explosive spells. Based on the aura and ruins left at the scene, he can roughly judge the strength of the caster and the type of spell used.
"That guy is a Confucian scholar. Let's collect more evidence and return it to Meng Chang for study."
Liu Xiang said.
The Meng Chang mentioned by Liu Xiang was the dean of the Confucian school, and the oldest and most knowledgeable among the three deans. Even the principal Zou Yan respected him.
"A lot of things have happened in Luoyi City recently... There were no clues about the fights in the past few days. Why do I feel that the world is becoming less and less peaceful."
Ge Hong sighed and said with some worry.
"The principal just went to Fengjing City a few days ago. I heard that there are some changes in the capital."
Liu Xiang lowered his voice and said.
"I've also heard that there seems to be some bad blood between the Imperial Master and the Imperial Academy."
Ge Hong also lowered his voice. The two deans rarely exchanged opinions on such current affairs, but the recent changes in Luoyi City have doubled their pressure. They must find out what happened.
They talked in low voices for a long time, and they didn't know what judgment they made. Anyway, the official statement the next day was that two monks had a fight and the Meng Lvren Inn was reduced to ashes.
As for who the two fighting monks were and what they were fighting for, the official would certainly not reveal the slightest bit of information.
In fact, they really don't know anything.
Li Xuan, one of the parties involved in the incident, was lying on the bed. Although he had rested all day, his body was still very tired.
Although the consequences of excessive use of shadow spiritual power are not as serious as taking the Burning Spirit Pill, the muscles in the body are still very sore, and even after using the pill, it still has no effect.
Fortunately, Song Nan and Song Ni are around to give Li Xuan a massage, which is also a kind of enjoyment.
Li Xuan even thought about lying down for a few more days and enjoying the hard-won peace.
His idea is good, but unfortunately the situation is stronger than the person.
Li Xuan had just regained his composure when he received a piece of news from Solanum Solanum.
Principal Zou Yan, who went to Fengjing City for a meeting a few days ago, came back, and with him came an enigmatic big shot.
Du Rufeng, the son of Du Ming, the chief national advisor of the Spring and Autumn Empire, was known as "Little Du".
...Du Rufeng slowly opened the lid of a gray jar and took a look inside.
The jar was filled with gray-white ashes and exuded a stale smell. He frowned and looked at the young man who handed over the jar.
The young man was about twenty years old. He was wearing a white robe. He was fair-looking and had a scholarly air.
Seeing Du Rufeng looking over, the young man said calmly: "These are all the relics left by Pang Juan."
Du Rufeng shook his hand, and the jar fell to the ground and shattered with a "pop", and the white ashes inside floated up.
The young man coughed dryly and waved his hand to shoot a cloud of cold breath, freezing the jar fragments and the flying ashes into a huge blue ice cube.
"Li Xun, what on earth is going on?"
Du Rufeng snorted coldly, "I want to know who killed Pang Juan."
“The scene was very messy and all that could be found were these ashes.
But I have found two clues, maybe I can follow the clues and find the murderer."
A young man named Li Xun said.
"What clue?"
Du Rufeng asked.
"The first clue is Pang Juan's left arm. We found it in the ruins and it was torn off at the shoulder. Judging from the wound, it should have been caused by a sniper crossbow..." Li Xun said.
"Sniper crossbow!"
Du Rufeng was startled, "There are not many sniper crossbows in the Spring and Autumn Empire. This range can be reduced a lot."
"...There is another clue. After the battle, witnesses saw a flaming red fat man and a different-looking monster looking for something in the ruins. Later, they found a silver item and slipped away."
Li Xun was not affected by Du Rufeng's interruption and continued.
"What they dug out must be the silver shark inner armor."
Du Rufeng said angrily, "But the flaming fat man and the strange monster, who are they?"
"It should be a demonic creature."
Li Xun said.
"Monk...do you have any clues?"
Du Rufeng's eyes lit up.
"We don't know yet, but it's very possible."
Li Xun nodded, "The aura left at the scene also proves that there was a large amount of shadow spiritual power fluctuations that night.
Based on all the clues, there is no doubt that the person who assassinated Pang Juan was a monk who could control demonic creatures."
"Monks like this from the Spring and Autumn Empire have disappeared for many years, how could they suddenly appear?
Is it related to the Imperial College?"
Du Rufeng was puzzled.
"I do think that young man named Li Xuan is very suspicious."
Li Xun changed the subject and put forward his opinion.
"You mean that guy named Li Xuan?"
Du Rufeng pondered.
"It would be better to catch a thousand by mistake than let one go.
I’ll find out after I go to Jixia College and take a look.”
Li Xun said.
"Go ahead and be careful.
If it is confirmed that it is him, there is no need to show mercy."
Du Rufeng nodded slightly and waved to Li Xun.
After walking out of the luxurious room where Du Rufeng lived, Li Xun saw Long Wenya, the lord of Luoyi City, and Zou Yan, the principal of Jixia College, guarding the door.
"Li Xun, how is Master Du Rufeng feeling?"
After all, Long Wenya was a bureaucrat, so he had a thicker skin. He came over and asked in a low voice, while Zou Yan stretched out his ears to eavesdrop.
"The young master is very angry and the consequences will be serious."
Li Xun put on a cold face, "Where is that guy named Li Xuan now? I suspect that he is related to Pang Juan's disappearance, and I want to ask him to assist in the investigation."
"Li Xuan!"
The expressions of Long Wenya and Zou Yan changed. If Li Xuan was really related to Pang Juan's disappearance, both of them would be miserable.
"Is this really certain?"
Long Wenya's forehead was covered with big beads of sweat. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it while asking.
"pretty close."
Li Xun looked at the two of them thoughtfully, "You all know what will happen to those who offend Master Du Rufeng."
"Li, please let me do my part.
That Li Xuan is also a nominal student of our college, so I have the responsibility to catch him."
Zou Yan suddenly came over and said sternly.
Long Wenya complained secretly, thinking to himself, you old fox, if you want to distance yourself from the relationship at this time, what should I do?
He also quickly said: "I will also send a team of monks to help. We must bring that guy who violated the law to justice."
Li Xun chuckled: "I heard that Li Xuan has a title. Do you know if there is anything fishy about it?"
Long Wenya sweated even more. He turned slightly to block Zou Yan behind him, took out a ring from his chest and stuffed it into Li Xun's pocket.
The ring was filled with gems and gold coins, but Long Wenya couldn't care less.
As long as this matter can be settled, he is willing to have ten rings, let alone one.
Li Xun didn't refuse and said haha: "Anyway, let's catch that guy first.
If he stubbornly resists, I won't be polite."
Hearing Li Xun's words, Long Wenya breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself: Later, he will cheer up his men and must silence Li Xuan. Don't involve me.
Zou Yan also had the same idea, and the two of them followed Li Xun and hurried out of Du Rufeng's temporary residence and went straight to Jixia College.
At this moment, Li Xuan was not in the college, but in a teahouse on the outskirts of the city, wearing a thick felt hat on his head, drinking heavily and eating meat, very happily.
"Tap tap tap..." There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and a horse stopped outside the door of the teahouse, with a dignified-looking monk sitting on the horse's back.
He got off his horse and walked into the simple teahouse.
Just as the teahouse owner was about to say hello, the monk waved his hand, walked straight to Li Xuan, and threw a small bundle on the table.
