Chapter 480: Failure at the Last Moment

"Perhaps," Song Wen murmured in a low voice, with a somewhat speculative tone, "Zhu Jiao died at the hands of a monster?"

"Monster?" Jing Kai looked thoughtful. To be able to kill Zhu Jiao, one must be a peak first-order or even a second-order monster. It is impossible for such a powerful monster to exist near Shanfu City. "

"The bloodthirsty bees can travel thousands of miles and come to Shanfu City to suck human blood. Maybe there is some flying monster that happens to pass through Shanfu City?"

Song Wen deliberately killed Zhu Jiao and blamed it on the monster.

Just because, Shadow Gu just discovered that Yuan Qing did not leave, but quietly followed him into the dense forest more than twenty miles away.

Yuan Qing is a peak golden elixir monk, and his spiritual perception range is thirty-two miles.

Song Wen only has the cultivation level of the early stage of Jin Dan. The perception range of early stage monks is eight miles.

There is a huge gap in the range of spiritual perception between the two.

Therefore, Yuan Qing dared to hide in the dark unscrupulously and secretly spy on Song and Wen without worrying about being discovered by Song Wen.

Song Wen didn't know Yuan Qing's intention to monitor the two of them. But he knew that Shanfu City was a place of right and wrong, and it was not advisable to stay there for a long time.

Therefore, he deliberately related Zhu Jiao's death to the monster and wanted to return to Muyang Mountain as soon as possible.

Jing Kai said hesitantly, "If you draw such a hasty conclusion, I'm afraid it won't be easy to report to the Master of Zhuyue Pavilion, right?"

"Zhu Jiao has been dead for seven days, and all the clues have long since disappeared. No matter whether he died in the hands of a monster or someone else, it is difficult to find any clues. It is a waste of effort for you and me to stay here. . I plan to go back to Muyang Mountain first, what are your plans?”

Jing Kai hesitated for a moment and said, "This junior will stay in Hanshan Kingdom and temporarily take over Zhu Jiao's responsibilities. The capital of Hanshan Kingdom has just been invaded by bloodthirsty bees, and this junior is worried that trouble will arise."

Song Wen nodded, "That's fine, little friend Jing, please be more vigilant. If there is any unexpected situation, you can use the "Star Line" to inform me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Wen activated the spacecraft and sailed towards the sky.

...

"This extremely yin person is actually a wonderful person."

Yuan Qing looked at the spaceship passing above and murmured to himself.

Now that ‘Ji Yin’ has left, the next thing will be much easier to handle.

As for Jing Kai, Yuan Qing didn't take it seriously at all.

Yuan Qing restrained his breath, quietly came to the palace, and sneaked into Cui Zaishi's imperial study.

Cui Zaishi saw Yuan Qing's sudden appearance. After being briefly surprised, his expression became extremely respectful.

"I have met the Immortal. Is the Immortal the new sheep?"

A disdainful smile appeared on Yuan Qing's lips, "I'm not a lowly sheep."

When Cui Zaishi heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, filled with horror.

From the contemptuous tone of the other party, it is not difficult to see that the other party does not take Yang Cha in the Qi training period at all.

This shows that the other party is at least a foundation-building monk, or even a legendary golden elixir monk.

It would definitely not be a good thing for such a powerful monk to come to him suddenly.

"Excuse me... may I ask why the immortal came here?"

Excessive nervousness and fear caused Cui Zaishi to stutter when speaking.

"Hand over the Demon Soul Token." Yuan Qing said calmly.

"Demon Soul Order?" Cui Zaishi looked confused. "The Immortal Mingjian, I have never heard of the 'Demon Soul Order'."

Yuan Qing's expression became stern, and his voice became a little cold.

"You don't know the Demon Soul Order?"

Cui Zaishi said, "A villain would never dare to deceive an immortal."

"Whether you are lying or not, I will know as soon as I find out."

Yuan Qing instantly moved to Cui Zaishi and placed one hand on his head.

Cui Zaishi felt a majestic spiritual power rush into his mind, like a huge wave, drowning his consciousness.

After a while, Yuan Qing let go of Cui Zaishi.

He whispered, "It seems that he really doesn't know about the Demon Soul Order. The Demon Soul Order should be in the hands of his father, Cui Shi."

Yuan Qing frowned slightly. In Cui Zaishi's memory, Cui Shi had left Shanfu City a few days ago and wanted to escape Yangdao.

However, Yuan Qing did not know the specific route Cui Shi took to escape from Yangdao.

I don’t know whether Soul Search didn’t get this part of the memory, or Cui Shi didn’t tell Cui Zaishi at all.

Yuan Qing's eyes fell on Cui Zaishi.

The latter's soul was forcibly searched and he fell to the ground unconscious.

Yuan Qing moved his fingers slightly, and a crack suddenly opened in Cui Zaishi's chest, and scarlet blood slowly flew out along the crack.

The blood accumulated more and more, and soon, a fist-sized blood ball condensed in the air.

As Yuan Qing kept pinching the spell with his hands, the blood ball kept changing its shape in the air, and finally outlined a strange rune.

The runes emitted bursts of red light, and each illusory blood-colored rune gradually appeared.

Half a quarter of an hour later, dozens of rune shadows condensed in the sky.

Each rune shadow represents a blood relative of Cui Zaishi.

"go!"

Yuan Qing let out a sigh.

Rune shadows flew out in all directions and swept towards every corner of the palace. And one of the rune shadows flew straight out of the palace and towards the east coast.

Yuan Qing took out a soul flag and captured Cui Zaishi's soul.

Then, he put Cui Zaishi's body into the storage ring, turned around and left the palace, chasing the bloody rune.

Yuan Qing acted extremely cautiously and did not leave any clues.

Everything that happened in the imperial study, including the guards outside the imperial study and Jing Kai who was tortured and interrogating the queen and princess in the harem, no one noticed anything unusual.

......

Cui Shi was in a wooden boat floating on the vast ocean.

His face was full of excitement and nervousness, because in front of him, there was a fog wall that stretched as far as the eye could see.

He knew that as long as he passed through this fog wall, he would be free.

From a two-legged sheep kept in captivity, he became a real person, a person who could act according to his own will, a person who did not have to worry about being harvested as a beast at any time.

From then on, the sky was high for birds to fly, and the sea was wide for fish to jump!

Cui Shi touched the jade card on his waist, which was the maze pass token he got after killing Zhu Jiao.

He paddled hard, and the wooden boat accelerated and rushed towards the fog wall.

Seeing that the front end of the wooden boat had pierced into the fog wall, it suddenly stopped.

A figure flashed at the bow.

Yuan Qing's figure suddenly appeared.

"You are quite good at escaping!" Yuan Qing said with a smile.

Cui Shi's eyes suddenly widened, with a look of panic and fear on his face.

He mistook Yuan Qing for the person guarding the formation, and said hurriedly.

"Senior, please give me a way out."

Yuan Qing seemed to have heard a big joke, with a smile on his face, which was full of teasing and mocking.

"A way out? When have you ever had a real way out? Everything your Cui family found in the mausoleum was just a carefully planned layout by me."
