The leader waved his hand, and the three disciples immediately started searching the courtyard.
There was a clanging bell, and they turned the room into a mess. Soon it was a mess.
Ling Xuewei's face was calm. The lower profile she had at this time, the better. If she could send them away like this, it would save them a lot of effort.
"Brother, no!"
"Not here either!"
The disciple who was searching came forward to report. Di Jian rubbed his hands, bent down and bowed again, acting as if he were a small person. "I wonder who the Immortal Master is looking for?"
"Have you ever seen these people?"
As he spoke, he took out a few portraits. Aren't the ones drawn on them Rong Batian, Rong Mu, Rong Xia and Tan Ji?
Di Jian looked at it carefully and then shook his head, "No..."
"Look carefully! Are you serious?! If you dare to protect the prisoner, watch your heads carefully!"
"Oh, Master Immortal, we are just ordinary people begging for food in the rivers and lakes, how dare we harbor criminals! What did these people commit? Why should we arrest them?"
"They are fugitives from the Rong family! They have done many evil things! This person is Rong Batian, the head of the Rong family, and the number one criminal being pursued by the temple! Have you never heard of this?" The visitor looked suspiciously.
he.
"Rong Batian? It turns out he is the heinous head of the Rong family, Rong Batian! This incident was a big deal at the time, and you guys have heard about it a little bit, but in our remote country, news circulates slowly, so we only know about it.
It’s a little late…”
"Okay, okay, there's so much nonsense! I just ask you, have you ever seen these people?"
"It's true... Master Xian, did they escape here? Then if one of us catches them, what reward will we get?"
Di Jian's expression showed greed, a trace of disgust flashed in the disciple's eyes, and the last trace of doubt was eliminated.
"Is it possible for you people to catch the head of the Rong family? But if you can provide useful information, you will also be rewarded."
"Really? That's great! It just so happens that they haven't opened yet this month, so the brothers are very busy now... Hey, Master Xian, please tell me more about them..."
"Go, go, go! Don't delay my work! There's no problem here, let's go! Go to the next house!"
"Hey, Master Xian, don't leave..."
They didn't even look away. When they saw that they were gone, Di Jian closed the door and gave Ling Xuewei a look that said, "You are a good actor?" Ling Xuewei couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
And things are still not over.
On this day, people from Qiandi Sect came three times, each time with a worse attitude and a more thorough search. The whole courtyard was like a tornado passing through, and the original appearance was completely lost.
If they are like this, it won't be much better if they go anywhere else.
But the Thousand Emperors Sect is, after all, three sects, and even if they are resentful, no one dares to say anything. Even the Black Tiger Gang was searched, but of course it is not as exaggerated as other places. The Black Tiger Gang is a local snake after all, so they still dare not
Too much.
"What? No? This is the last place! How could there be no?"
The leading disciple looked ugly as he listened to the report from the people below.
"Senior brother, there is indeed none. The disciples have almost searched the entire city. As long as there is a place where someone can hide, we have searched, even the most remote poor alleys, but there is still no news...
"
"Brother, what should we do now?"
"You guys keep looking! I'll report it to the elder first..."
"Senior brother, I found something!"
Suddenly someone came in a hurry.
"The disciples found pieces of clothes of Senior Brother Zan and others in Xuanling Valley, and the tracking dogs also determined the smell. It is indeed Senior Brother Zan and others!"
"Really? Let's go!"
The group of people quickly rushed to the location of the Xuanling Valley incident, which was exactly where Ling Xuewei and the others robbed and killed Zan Yuankai.
The disciples surrounded the area. There were some bones on the ground, some traces of dried blood, and some rags beside them. He looked carefully and determined that those were their robes.
"There are traces of wild beasts nearby. It should be a herd of beasts..."
Judging from the traces at the scene, they should have suddenly encountered a herd of beasts when passing by, and they would have become the beasts' meal after being defeated after a hard fight.
There are many ferocious beasts in Xuanling Valley. No matter how high the disciple's cultivation level is, there is really no way for only twenty or thirty people to fight against hundreds of beasts.
"Confirmed that there are no survivors?"
"The disciples searched nearby for a long time, but found no one alive."
"Take the bones back and ask someone to interrogate the spirit. Be sure to confirm the identity."
"Disciple understands."
Soon, everyone left.
They didn't notice that in the distance among the tall and dense leaves, a tiny bee slowly left.
Ling Xuewei put away the screen and saw all the images that the micro-bee had just fed back. The crisis was temporarily resolved, but she knew that the real moment had not yet come.
Sure enough, three days later.
Someone from Qiandi Sect came again, and the person who came back this time was their old acquaintance.
Eji.
He actually came here in person. It seemed that the little tricks he had used before could not be concealed from him.
As she expected, E Ji suspected that the death of Zan Yuankai and others was not an accident. He went to the scene to see everything in person and found that everything was perfect and no flaws could be found. However, his always keen intuition told him that this was definitely no accident.
E Ji ordered that all the disciples who went out to search should come back.
He listened to the report from the people below and said after a moment, "Go and investigate the information on the people who have just entered the city for no more than three months, including their identity, where they came from, and their whereabouts in the past few months. These old men all need to know.
You guys, I want to know the result after one day."
"yes!"
The disciples of the Qiandi Sect were very efficient in handling matters and presented the results of the investigation one day later.
Eji looked at it for a long time, then his eyes paused.
E Ji asked, "Who are the young master's mercenary group?"
"Reporting to the elder, this is a mercenary team that has just emerged in Luo City recently. There are less than ten people in the group, but it seems that their leader has some relationship with the Black Tiger Gang, so they are developing well and are currently gaining momentum in Luo City.
"
E Ji's ferocious, scarred eyes flashed with gleam, "Who is the leader?"
"He is a young man named Yan. The specific name is unclear. His whereabouts are a mystery. It took a lot of effort for the disciples to find out his relationship with the boss of the Black Tiger Gang..."
After being glanced at by E Ji, the disciple was excited, "However, the disciple found out that this person seems to be proficient in medical skills. A few days ago, the boss of the Black Tiger Gang fought to the death with someone and was accidentally poisoned. He was almost dying at the time, but he suddenly got better for some reason.
He also defeated his enemies, gathered the power of the entire city, and took the leading position alone. When my subordinates heard about it, it seemed to be related to this person..."
"I want more information about this person, please give it to me tomorrow."
