Chapter 1575 Incognito Visit
Dongwuzhou, Wangxian City, Tianxianglou Headquarters.
Le Lingrou, with a solemn expression.
As the nominal top executive of Tianxianglou, Le Lingrou has not relaxed for several days, just because of the shocking change in Tianxianglou.
Not only Le Lingrou, but all the female cultivators in the Tianxianglou headquarters gathered in one place, and in the middle of them, there was a dried corpse.
The corpse was naked and shrunken like straw paper...
"Are you sure it's Su Su?"
"Although the corpse is completely lifeless, it is confirmed to be Su Su through comparison!"
"Damn it!" With a cold face, Le Lingrou covered the corpse with a white cloth and said coldly: "If I know who did it, he will die miserably!"
"Master! This... This is the third victim this month!"
"Yes! Now people in Tianxiang Tower are in a panic..."
"Sisters dare not go out! Master! What should we do?"
"Silence!" Le Lingrou suppressed everyone's chattering and said solemnly: "At this point, it has exceeded the ability of Tianxiang Tower! I will contact Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce to see if they can send a high-level cultivator to sit in Tianxiang Tower!"
After Le Lingrou said this, everyone calmed down a lot.
At this time, Le Lingrou was already a mid-level Yuanying cultivator.
The so-called high-level cultivator she mentioned was, at the very least, a high-level Yuanying cultivator!
At this time of panic, a great monk is enough to stabilize the morale of the army.
It is no wonder that the people in Tianxiang Tower are in turmoil. It is really because of the strange things that have happened in the past month, one after another, and each one is more horrifying than the other.
Since the beginning of the month, three female monks have disappeared in Tianxiang Tower one after another.
After seven days of disappearance, the corpse of each female monk will be exposed in front of Tianxiang Tower.
Just like Su Su today, she has become a mummy, which is horrible to see...
This matter not only troubles Tianxiang Tower, but also the entire Wangxian City is alarmed. As a result, the number of monks who dare to consume in Tianxiang Tower is also decreasing.
This matter is serious, so Le Lingrou has to ask Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce for help.
Day after day, another seven days is coming.
No one knows whether the mastermind behind the scenes will come again.
On the sixth day of Le Lingrou's request for help, a monk in green clothes walked into Tianxiang Tower steadily.
With a glance, Xiao Mian was a little displeased.
There was no customer in Tianxiang Tower, and the welcoming maid was listless.
Humph!
Is this the business method of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce?
It seems that I, the angel of supervision, have something to do!
Tianxiang Tower is nominally a local industry in Dongwuzhou, but in fact, it has long been annexed by Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and changed its appearance to become the first business in Dongwuzhou.
This matter is not a secret, it is just tacitly known.
Xiao Mian came to Wangxian City for the first time, so he naturally wanted to take a look at his own industry.
Even Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce belongs to him, Xiao Mian, let alone Tianxiang Tower?
The big boss inspected the work and was very dissatisfied, and the consequences were serious!
"Is your Tianxiang Tower going to go bankrupt?"
"You! Senior! My Tianxiang Tower is the first business in Dongwuzhou after all, how could it go bankrupt? Although you are a senior, you can't say anything nonsense!"
The welcoming maid, but the cultivation level of the middle stage of Jindan, has a bad temper.
Xiao Mian is now at least a mid-level Yuanying, a whole realm higher than the maid. If she hadn't relied on Tianxiang Tower, how would she dare to talk to Xiao Mian?
A big store bullies customers, as expected!
"Okay! Take out the most valuable things in your Tianxiang Tower!"
"The most... the most valuable things? Senior! What do you want to do?"
"Ha! I came to your Tianxiang Tower to buy things! What? Do you think I'm here to rob? Is there anyone who dares to rob Tianxiang Tower?"
"Why not!?" Rolling her eyes, the maid whispered: "Even people dare to kill, what's the point of robbing..."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing! Senior! What do you want?"
"No matter what it is, the most valuable one will do!"
Xiao Mian, clearly came to find fault.
After getting the secret treasury of the Duzun Mansion, Xiao Mian almost had nothing to ask for.
It's not that Xiao Mian is content with what he has, it's really that the secret treasury of the Duzun Mansion is too amazing.
This time, Xiao Mian was just not used to the current situation of Tianxiang Tower, so he planned to find faults in the egg, punish a small punishment and warn the monkey.
The maid also saw that Xiao Mian was not here with good intentions, so she turned around and retreated into the inner hall.
After a while, the maid led a female cultivator of Yuanying and walked out of the inner hall.
"This Taoist fellow, please come in!" The female cultivator clasped her fists and saluted: "I am Su Lingyun of Tianxiang Tower. I have not asked: Taoist fellow, your name, where is the fairyland?"
"What? Is this the rule of Tianxiang Tower to open the door for business?"
Xiao Mian's anger was getting stronger and stronger.
When a customer came in to buy something, he would come up and question him.
Even Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce would not make such a fuss!
No wonder the door of Tianxiang Tower was deserted!
Xiao Mian was secretly angry, and he did not expect that Su Lingyun's face was also slightly gloomy.
"Hmph! If you are really here to buy something, we will welcome you at Tianxianglou. But if you are here to see me make fun of you..."
"You are open for business at Tianxianglou. Even if I don't buy anything, what's the harm in coming in to take a look? Do I have to buy something after entering your Tianxianglou?"
"This..."
Xiao Mian's words left Su Lingyun speechless.
"Besides, who said I don't buy anything?" Glancing at the maid behind Su Lingyun, Xiao Mian brought up the old matter again: "I want the most valuable thing in your Tianxianglou!"
"Fellow Daoist! Are you here to pick a fight?"
"What? You don't have anything valuable in Tianxiang Tower?"
"Okay! Since the lion is open to you, fellow Taoist, today I will let you see the treasure of my Tianxiang Tower - I'm afraid you can't afford it!"
"Hmph! Whether you can afford it or not, you will know after seeing it!"
Xiao Mian is here to cause trouble!
By now, both sides know this.
Although Su Lingyun was not angry, since he was open for business, he could only turn a blind eye when encountering someone like Xiao Mian who was deliberately looking for trouble.
People in the arena involuntarily.
How can it be so easy to make money?
At that moment, Xiao Mian was taken to the top floor of Tianxiang Tower by Su Lingyun.
The entire Tianxiang Tower is nine stories high, making it unique in Wangxian City.
In a pavilion on the top floor, Su Lingyun took out a forbidden spirit box.
Xiao Mian narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this.
The forbidden spirit box, rather than the sealed spirit box, shows that this object is at the lowest level of the Nascent Soul realm.
This is right!
Tianxianglou, a subsidiary of the Tangtang Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, is the No. 1 store in Soochow Prefecture. How can it get through Soochow Prefecture if it doesn’t have some hard goods?
When the forbidden spirit box was opened, Xiao Mian was a little disappointed when he saw clearly what was in the box.
But after thinking about it again, Xiao Mian felt relieved...
In the forbidden spirit box, there is a ninth-level spiritual talisman.
Xiao Mian may not look down on the ninth-level spiritual talisman, but for ordinary Yuanying ancestors, it is also a rare treasure.
Thinking like this, Xiao Mian wanted to take the magic talisman and look at it carefully.
"Fellow Taoist! The ninth level spiritual talisman is valuable!"
There is nothing wrong with what Su Lingyun said. After all, the ninth-level spiritual talisman is no small matter. If everyone came to see it, Tianxiang Tower would not have to do business.
However, Xiao Mian came here to cause trouble today!
"What? Su Daoyou, do you think I can't afford it?"
"Su doesn't dare! It's just a rule of our Tianxiang Tower: for ninth-level artifacts, unless fellow Taoists can provide the corresponding purchasing power, we will not take a closer look!"
"Really? Fellow Daoist Su thought: You can stop me?"
"What? Fellow Taoist, can't you steal it by force?"
"As a junior Nascent Soul cultivator, what can you do to me?"
Xiao Mian's words were not general.
Su Lingyun is just a junior Yuanying monk, but he dares to take out the ninth-level spiritual talisman in front of his face. If he encounters someone with evil intentions, wouldn't he lose all his property?
"Hmph! Are you worrying too much, fellow Taoist? Our Nine-Layer Tianxiang Tower is a large-scale fortification magic weapon. Even a high-level Nascent Soul monk cannot come and go freely!"
Su Lingyun felt confident when he said this.
Tianxiang Tower is indeed a large-scale fortification magic weapon!
The so-called fortification magic weapon is relative to Feitian Battle City.
The battle city is a mobile fortress in the air.
The fortification magic weapon is an immovable war city.
Take the Tianxiang Tower as an example. The entire Tianxiang Tower, from conception to construction, was borne by the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. It is a defensive fortress accumulated with unlimited financial resources.
Every brick and tile of Tianxiang Tower can be called a magic weapon.
Numerous restrictions, talismans, barriers, formations, and various building materials were put together to form the Nine-Layer Heavenly Fragrance Tower!
In addition to being immovable, Tianxiang Tower is a treasure ship!
"Oh I got it!"
After listening to Su Lingyun's words, Xiao Mian took a closer look at Tianxiang Tower.
Looking up, there is a cave on the top of Tianxiang Tower.
Seeing Su Lingyun looking at him like a country bumpkin, Xiao Mian didn't care and stretched out his right hand with his thumb pointing upwards, pointing straight to the sky.
An invisible finger energy burst out quietly, rising against the sky.
There was a soft sound of waves, and the sky light suddenly appeared on the top of Tianxiang Tower!
Point with all your strength - the power of one finger penetrates the Nine Heavenly Incense Tower!
Su Lingyun was shocked and looked at Xiao Mian with horror.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian shook his head.
If Xiao Mian is interested, he can take advantage of this time to pick up the ninth-level spiritual talisman and run away...
Bursts of rapid sirens were echoing in Tianxiang Tower.
By this time, Xiao Mian was not in a hurry.
Sitting down safely, Xiao Mian poured tea by himself.
But he said that Le Lingrou was practicing intensively in the secret room.
Le Lingrou's heart trembled when she heard the alarm.
Rushing out of the secret room in a hurry, Le Lingrou's figure flashed straight up to the ninth floor.
"Lingyun! What happened?"
"The owner of the building... this person... this person..."
"Friend Le Dao! Long time no see. How are you?"
"Is it you!?" Le Lingrou's expression relaxed when she first saw Xiao Mian.
The relationship between Xiao Mian and the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is known to the world. In the Duzun Mansion, if Xiao Mian had not taken care of her again and again, Le Lingrou's harvest would have been reduced by at least half.
Speaking of Su Lingyun, seeing Xiao Mian and Le Linrou knowing each other, he couldn't help but be stunned.
On the contrary, Xiao Mian described what happened before in a few words.
When Le Lingrou heard this, the more she listened, the more uncomfortable she became.
In business, although Xiao Mian's behavior is a bit biased, as far as Tianxianglou is concerned, the customer is not at fault, and it is always himself who is wrong!
"The original poster! I thought he was..."
"Who do you think he is? If he wants to kill you, are you still alive?" Le Lingrou snorted coldly: "Fine him a year's salary! Shut up and think about your mistakes!"
"Owner!"
"Fellow Daoist Su! Do you think that Friend Daoist Le's punishment was too severe?" Seeing Su Lingyun looking at him with an unhappy expression, Xiao Mian took out the Heaven's Prison Order and smiled faintly: "If this prison angel punishes me, it will not just be a matter of closed doors and reflection. !”
"You...you are the Supervising Angel!?"
Su Lingyun is a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, so she knows everything she should know.
The Heavenly Supervisor is an extremely special position within the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
Each generation of Heavenly Supervisors has only one person, who is directly responsible to the Elders of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
Xiao Mian is in charge of the Heavenly Supervisor Order, and is the current Heavenly Supervisor of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
As long as Tianxiang Tower is still affiliated with the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, it will be supervised by Xiao Mian.
Su Lingyun deserved this fall today!
"Fellow Daoist Xiao! Please show mercy!"
"Fellow Daoist Le, you are too kind! This is the internal affairs of Tianxiang Tower. As the owner of Tianxiang Tower, you naturally have the right to deal with it. I will not exceed it." As he spoke, Xiao Mian stood up and said to himself: "I want this ninth-level spiritual talisman! As for the loophole on the roof of Tianxiang Tower, all expenses will be borne by me! Fellow Daoist Le, name a price!"
"This..."
"Let's talk business!"
"Okay!"
Le Lingrou offered a high price for the ninth-level spiritual talisman.
As for the repair cost of Tianxiang Tower, Le Lingrou did not care too much.
Xiao Mian would not care even more!
At this stage, spirit stones are just stones to Xiao Mian!
After the payment was settled, Xiao Mian was about to leave.
But at this moment, Le Lingrou could not help but speak.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao! Can you wait for a moment?"
"What?"
"This... This matter is the internal affairs of my Tianxiang Tower. Although I have reported it to Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and asked for support, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xiao knows about it?"
"Request support?" His eyes turned, and he remembered the Jindan maid's muttering before, and Xiao Mian asked: "But something happened in Tianxiang Tower?"
"Fellow Daoist Xiao doesn't know yet?"
"Speak!"
Under Xiao Mian's urging, Le Lingrou finally opened the conversation...
After listening to Le Lingrou's words, Xiao Mian's expression was uncertain.
What an arrogant murderer!
Although the three female cultivators killed in Tianxiang Tower were only in the Jindan realm, their bodies returned to the door of Tianxiang Tower after seven days of disappearance.
This is an unscrupulous provocation!
The murderer obviously has countless ways to destroy the body, but he chose to transport the body back to Tianxiang Tower. If he is not mentally ill, he must have other intentions.
The intention is to confuse people!
People in Tianxiang Tower are in panic!
No wonder the Jindan maid was listless when Xiao Mian entered Tianxiang Tower just now.
No wonder Su Lingyun questioned him as if he was interrogating a prisoner when he saw him.
Even Le Lingrou was overwhelmed by this matter...
This is the purpose of the murderer!
The reason he did this was to facilitate the continued crime!
After listening to Le Lingrou's statement, Xiao Mian could almost conclude that this matter was not over!
It seems that he had wrongly blamed Tianxiang Tower!
He is the big boss of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is the behind-the-scenes boss of Tianxiang Tower. It is said that he has to take care of this matter.
"Le Daoyou! Can you take me to see the bodies of the victims?"
"I'm afraid it's not possible!"
The bodies of the three victims have been cremated and buried by Le Lingrou.
"Is that so? Then can Le Daoyou tell me the details of the three victims? Tell me everything, no matter how big or small!"
"Wait a minute, Xiao Daoyou! I'll send someone to tell you!"
After a while, a female cultivator of the initial stage of the Nascent Soul came rushing over.
Xiao Mian had also seen this person. She was with Le Lingrou in the Du Zun Mansion.
"This is Junior Sister Mu Lingyan. Junior Sister Mu personally took care of the bodies of the three victims. Let her explain to Xiao Daoyou!"
"Thank you, Brother Mu!"
"I dare not! Those three people... died miserably!"
Resisting her grief, Mu Lingyan talked about her discovery.
According to Mu Lingyan, the three female cultivators died of exhaustion of Yuan Yin!
The Tao has Yin and Yang, and people are divided into men and women.
Men are born with a little bit of Yuan Yang, and women are born with a little bit of Yuan Yin.
During the process of sexual intercourse between men and women, the Yuan Yin in the female body and the Yuan Yang in the male body exchange parts with each other, which is called the harmony of Yin and Yang.
This change is beneficial to both men and women.
But if the demands are excessive or if there is something wrong, it will lead to disaster.
The three female cultivators who were killed were squeezed dry of all the Yuan Yin in their bodies, which eventually led to their death due to exhaustion of vitality.
After listening to Mu Lingyan's explanation, Xiao Mian was silent.
This is clearly the popular saying of the Demon Sect - taking Yin to replenish Yang!
But who is it that has a deep hatred for Tianxiang Tower?
Is it a local demon cultivator?
Or a demon cultivator in the spirit world?
For a moment, Xiao Mian had no idea.
But suddenly, Xiao Mian remembered the words of the Demon Emperor Wei Changtian.
After the outbreak of the spiritual war, Dongwuzhou took 30% of the demon energy in the world!
Could it be that this 30% of demon energy is causing trouble?
Humph!
I want to see: who are you?
