Chapter 810  Undercurrent

After returning to his own quiet room, Xiao Mian could not calm down for a long time.

Xiao Mian knew very well who Qingqiuzi and Elder Hou suspected.

How dare that black-armored monster of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul be so unscrupulous?

If it was really the black-armored monster, then the Three Temples of the East Sea were really bold and worthy of being the evil sect among the evil sects...

This matter was not a big deal for Xiao Mian.

Now Xiao Mian lives in the Hu Family Village, with Elder Hu, a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator, in charge, even the black-armored monster would not dare to come and die.

Looking at Qingqiuzi's prudence, it is obvious that he will spare no effort to protect Xiao Mian and others.

After all, Xiao Mian and the other four are the future pillars of Nanyue State, and after all, Qingqiuzi is the leader of this delegation.

The problem is that August 15th is coming.

Xiao Mian can't not go to Miluo River!

If he hadn't received the message from Yue Jitian, or Shui Qianyue wouldn't go to Miluo River to practice sword on August 15, Xiao Mian might have chosen to stay in Tianxia City for another year to be prudent, and wouldn't risk being attacked by the black-armored monster. The black-armored monster hated Xiao Mian to death. After what happened in Xuanji Pavilion, if the black-armored monster saw Xiao Mian, he would definitely kill him immediately!

But now, if Xiao Mian didn't go to Miluo River, the Taiyin Youguang would be in Shui Qianyue's pocket...

Although Shui Qianyue might not be able to get the Taiyin Youguang, with the origin of their Shuiyue Sword Pavilion using water and moon to enter the sword, even if she couldn't get the Taiyin Youguang, she would definitely find something strange about Miluo River. If she couldn't get it this year, how could she know that she wouldn't come next year?

Trouble! Trouble! Big trouble!

Sure enough, this opportunity is not so easy to come by...

Xiao Mian is determined to get the Taiyin Light, but he dare not touch the black-armored monster - if it doesn't work, he can only ask Qingqiuzi to be his bodyguard...

Although the price may be very high!

Shaking his head, Xiao Mian put all distractions behind his mind and concentrated on meditation.

Now, I just hope that the chaos in Tianxia City can be gradually calmed down before August 15th...

For the next month, Xiao Mian stayed at home quietly.

During this month, Xiao Mian successfully re-refined the Soul Devouring Finger.

Just when Xiao Mian didn't know which direction to practice next, Hu Xiner, unprecedentedly, took the initiative to find Xiao Mian.

"Is there anything wrong, Miss San?"

After obtaining the Yellow Fox Heart that day, the relationship between Xiao Mian and Hu Xiner became much more harmonious.

Hu Xiner was quite embarrassed when she heard this.

On weekdays, Hu Xiner had no shortage of suitors. In the business school, Hu Xiner's suitors were no less than those of the four fairies.

But now that she was in the same room with Xiao Mian, Hu Xiner's face turned red for no reason.

But soon, Hu Xiner made her intention clear.

"Brother Xiao seemed to have mentioned before that Tong Zhan in your business school was your good friend?"

"Tong Zhan? Yes! I brought him from Xiangfan City to Tianxia City. What? Did Miss San see him? Is he okay?"

"... I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to see him again!"

"What does Miss San mean by that?"

Xiao Mian asked hurriedly with a cold look.

Hu Xiner hesitated for a moment, and finally said it.

It turned out that Tong Zhan did not return home the night before.

Yesterday was the beginning of the month, which was the day for the monthly random exam of the business school, and Tong Zhan did not show up. The consequences of missing the exam are very serious!

"I heard that Tong Zhan is very serious about his studies. He has never been late or left early, and it is impossible for him to miss an exam without reason. Brother Xiao has heard about it, right? There has been unrest in Tianxia City recently! To be cautious, the college checked his dormitory..."

"Did you find anything?"

"I don't know!"

"Don't know?"

"I just heard it from others. I just remember that you, Brother Xiao, seemed to have mentioned Tong Zhan, so I paid attention to him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have cared about it!"

"...Thank you, Miss San, for the notice!" Xiao bowed slightly to Hu Xiner, Mian turned and asked, "Elder Hu, are you home?"

"Grandpa has been in Anding Hall!"

"Can Miss San tell me?"

"You want to see Grandpa? For Tong Zhan?"

"Although Tong Zhan and I are not close friends, his father entrusted Tong Zhan to me at the time, and I agreed. If I didn't know about this, it would be fine. Now that I know, I must find out the whole story. If I can save him, I must think of a way!"

"Okay! Come with me!"

After that, Xiao Mian met Elder Hu in Anding Hall.

"Do you want to know the results of the business school's investigation?"

"Yes!"

"This matter is quite relevant, and your identity is very sensitive. I advise you to be prudent and protect yourself, which is the way to deal with people!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Hu! But I may be able to find where Tong Zhan is!"

When Xiao Mian said this, it fell into Elder Hu's ears, making the old fox's eyes suddenly shine.

"Are you serious?!"

"But I must first understand what happened!"

"It's nothing! The academy found an envelope containing an invitation in Tong Zhan's dormitory. Inside the envelope, there was a hint of aphrodisiac!"

"Aphrodisiac? Are there any other clues?"

"No! It's obvious that Tong Zhan received an invitation from someone and took the initiative to attend a fatal date..."

Elder Hu shook his head. After all, with Tong Zhan's high-level Jindan cultivation, he was considered a good candidate even in the eyes of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.

It's a pity that now it seems that the situation is more doomed than good.

Xiao Mian was also silent. After a long time, he spoke again.

"I wonder if the elder can tell me the information about the disciples who disappeared before?"

"Xiao Mian! I have to remind you again that I told you about Tong Zhan because of the old relationship between you and Tong Zhan, so you can fulfill your duty as a friend. However, other people's information is the internal secret of our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. If you don't know, you can still stay out of it; once you know, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to stay out of it even if you want to..."

"Thank you for the advice, elder! Are we going to let that person hide in the dark and continue to hurt the young disciples of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce? One day, Miss Ruosan..."

"Hmph! Since you want to know, I'll tell you!"

At that moment, Elder Hu informed Xiao Mian of the information about the previous series of missing persons.

If you don’t listen, you won’t know. Once you hear it, you will jump.

Not long after the Good Fortune Child Lord sent down spiritual stones from heaven to kill the four different figures, young monks began to disappear one after another in Tianxia City.

As of today, the number has actually reached thirteen people!

Tong Zhan is the unlucky thirteenth person!

Instantly filtering and comparing the information of these thirteen people in his mind, Xiao Mian's expression sometimes became solemn, sometimes deep...

"Strange! Except for Tong Zhan, the other twelve people seem to be..."

"Half-demon body!"

"Is this the other party's purpose? But Tong Zhan, as far as I know, he is a human! Could it be that the same group of people did it?"

"No! Tong Zhan is not a human! He is a hidden demon!"

"Invisible demon!?"

"Well! Judging from the information reported by the business school, Tong Zhan had awakened the demon bloodline more than a month ago, but he was unconscious at the time. Afterwards, even he himself was not aware of it. That's right. Since then, the Business School has been particularly concerned about Tong Zhan, and they didn’t expect that even so, something like this would happen..." A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Elder Hu snorted: "Huh! He is just a heretic after all!"

"Since the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce already has a suspect, why not control it first? If no missing persons appear again, wouldn't it be evidence?"

"That man, after all, is the master of the Demon Temple. He is no different than the one who was killed by the Venerable that day. If we attack him rashly, I'm afraid..."

Halfway through his words, Elder Hu remained silent.

Xiao Mian had a new understanding. Obviously, Shancai Tongzun or the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce was not without suspicion of the black-armored monster.

Just by suppressing the four dissimilarities, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce was also a little scared.

It would not be wrong to say that the crazy behavior of the black-armored monster was wanton revenge. Just killing an elementary-level Nascent Soul Sixiang made the other party so mad. If he also killed the middle-level Nascent Soul black-armored monster...

Although the overall strength of the Three Temples of the East China Sea is not as good as that of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, there are also high-level Nascent Soul monks in charge, and there are as many as three of them!

If the other party blindly launches a crazy revenge, it will be a difficult time for the Good Fortune Child Lord in the realm of Heavenly Lord, right?

What's more, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce's properties are spread all over the world, and the tail is too big to lose.

"If there is real evidence, Your Majesty can propose to convene a 'round table conference'!" Seeing Xiao Mian's puzzled look, Elder Hu explained happily: "The round table conference is the highest decision-making meeting exclusive to the Ten Heavenly Lords in Zhongzhou! The round table conference The decision will be strictly implemented within the five states of the world, and even the three East China Sea Gods will not dare to ignore it, otherwise, they will be destroyed by the entire cultivation world!"

"There's something I've always been suspicious of! When the Good Fortune Boy suppressed the four different creatures back then, he should have sensed their existence and motives in advance. Those magical powers are simply unpredictable. Now, is it no longer possible?"

"The man behind the scenes seems to have been on guard for a long time - the Venerable learned the opponent's whereabouts through the protective formation covering the entire Tianxia City that day. If he is intentional, as long as the opponent prepares some shielding items, it is not difficult to hide. Open the Venerable Detection."

"I see!"

"I've told you what you should know and what you shouldn't know. What are you going to do?"

"Let this junior go back and think about it, okay?" After bowing and saying goodbye to Elder Hu, Xiao Mian was about to walk out of the Anding Hall when he heard Elder Hu whispering from behind: "If you can really catch that person's evidence this time, I, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, will definitely protect you!”

Xiao Mian paused, and then walked out of Anding Hall without looking back.

Back in the quiet room, Xiao Mian called out the black cloth.

"Xiao Bu, Xiao Bu! Whether brother can turn the tide this time, it all depends on whether you are strong enough!"

"..."

"What!? Are you hungry again!? Don't take advantage of me like this!"

"..."

"You're so hungry that you can't even walk? So pitiful? OK! As long as you get things done this time, whatever you want to eat will be taken care of by my brother!"

"..."

"You still can't trust my brother's character? Do you still want to make a contract with me? Have you turned against me!? Okay! Make a contract! Let me see how you make it!"
