On this day, the five of them were finally ready to set off for the Tianshui Dynasty.
When they arrived at the valley where the teleportation array was, Lin Xiu showed his inner disciple token to the guard and slowly stepped onto the teleportation array. His figure gradually disappeared.
When the five of them reappeared, they were already in a completely unfamiliar world. The cold wind here was biting cold, and the whistling north wind was like a knife scratching their faces, causing pain.
Lin Xiu took out the scroll that recorded the information about the evil cultivator and slowly formed a complicated palm seal to summon the Renyuan Realm monster in the Tianshui Dynasty.
Before leaving the Gui Yuan Sect, apart from exchanging hundreds of spirit stones, he also used his contribution points to exchange for some secret skills that were necessary for this trip, and this secret skill to summon the monster was one of them.
It didn't take long before a dark cloud appeared above the five of them. When they looked up, it turned out to be a huge and indescribable monster. This monster was glowing with purple spirit light, its long beak was exceptionally sharp, and its pair of sharp claws were shining with a cold light. It was daunting.
When this monster landed, it looked extremely docile in front of Lin Xiu, who had used the secret skill.
After asking everyone to get on the back of the monster, they sat cross-legged so that they wouldn't be blown down from the sky by the monster.
Lin Xiu formed another secret seal with both hands and began to communicate with this monster. They flew directly toward the destination of this trip, Cold River City.
According to the records on the scroll, there were only four Harmonious Spirit Realm warriors in Cold River City.
Except for the city lord who was at the middle Harmonious Spirit Realm, the other three were only at the early Harmonious Spirit Realm.
This was because the evil cultivator had committed such a heinous crime in the city. Almost all the warriors in the city had turned out in full force, but the evil cultivator's means were too strange. Even if they turned the Cold River City upside down, they still couldn't find a trace of this evil cultivator!
The five people on the back of the monster heard the whistling of the cold wind, and they couldn't help but pull their collars.
When they left Huaining City, it was already late autumn.
Now that it was winter, although martial artists had a certain degree of resistance to the cold, their cultivation was still far from reaching the level of being immune to the cold and heat.
Fortunately, before leaving the Gui Yuan Sect, Lin Xiu had already predicted this situation. He spent 20 contribution points for everyone to buy a spatial ring and bought a lot of things that they needed for the winter.
At this moment, after feeling the bone-chilling wind, the few of them also took out their winter clothes and put them on.
Several hours later, the few people on the back of the demonic beast saw the outline of a city in the distance. After comparing it with the information on the scroll, Lin Xiu realized that this was the Cold River City they were going to.
Fearing that the Human Origin Stage demon beasts might disturb the residents in the city, they jumped off the back of the demon beasts when they were still ten miles away from the city.
Lin Xiu used a secret method to set up a time and place to meet with this monster. After that, he took Lin Feng and the others and sped toward Cold River City.
Not long after, the few people who arrived at the bottom of the city felt that the atmosphere in the city was a little strange.
It stood to reason that there would be a lot of people in the city at this time.
But what surprised Lin Xiu and the others was that all the shops in the city were closed, and there were not many people on the streets.
Occasionally, there were a few people who went out, but they looked like they were in a hurry, and they were unspeakably panicked.
They went directly in the direction of the City Lord Mansion. It was their first time coming to Cold River City, so they had to figure out the current situation first.
The City Lord of Cold River City was a middle-aged man about 40 years old. After politely inviting Lin Xiu and the others to the hall, he directly bowed to Lin Xiu, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Envoy, these days, because of the matter of the evil cultivator, people are in a state of panic. The normal life of the residents in the city is also interrupted. All the families with newborn children simply don't go out, for fear of any accidents."
Lin Xiu nodded slightly, then looked at the City Lord of Cold River City in front of him and said, "City Lord, do you know anything about this evil cultivator?"
Hearing this, the City Lord of Cold River City's mouth was full of bitterness.
"To tell you the truth, this evil cultivator was originally a resident of Cold River City, but many years ago, he was expelled by his family because of some trivial matters. But who would have thought that he actually practiced such an evil martial skill and turned Cold River City into a hell on earth."
Lin Xiu furrowed his brows, obviously not believing the words of the City Lord of Cold River City.
"Then tell me what trivial matters it is?"
The City Lord of Cold River City looked embarrassed, "This... this, originally, this evil cultivator was a descendant of the Li family in Cold River City. Li family had a dispute with other families, but in the end, they were killed by the other families. Since then, they have declined."
At this point, the City Lord of Cold River City simply threw caution to the wind and told Lin Xiu the ins and outs of everything in detail.
This evil cultivator was originally a descendant of the Li family, but he went out to travel when he was young. When he came back, he found that the Li family had been destroyed. But with his strength, he was not a match for the other big families at all.
After several fruitless battles, this evil cultivator found a skill that required newborn children as a guide. At first, he was still considered cautious, for fear that others would find out.
However, after breaking through to the Harmonious Spirit Realm, this evil cultivator became more and more unscrupulous. The Lord of Cold River City had fought with him a few times, but he found out that the evil cultivator who relied on his strange methods was actually not at a disadvantage in the Lord's hands.
In desperation, the City Lord of Cold River City could only send a request for help to the Tianshui Dynasty. After this matter was learned by the people sent by the Gui Yuan Sect in the Tianshui Dynasty, they immediately reported it to the sect.
Lin Xiu also knew what happened later. What happened in Cold River City was regarded as a task by the sect and was released.
After listening to the City Lord of Cold River City tell the story, Lin Xiu could not help but rub his temples.
A hateful person also had a pitiful side.
If it weren't for the fact that the other families forced the Li family so badly, this evil cultivator would not have chosen such an evil skill so inhumanely, causing the originally thriving city to become the current purgatory on earth.
But since he made the wrong choice, no matter what the reason was, he had to pay the price for it.
Seeing a trace of murderous intent flashing in Lin Xiu's sharp eyes, the City Lord of Cold River City did not take it seriously.
In his opinion, although Lin Xiu was a genius disciple from the Gui Yuan Sect, looking at his yuan qi fluctuation, he was only at the middle stage of the Bone Tempering Realm. How could he be a match for the evil cultivator?
The reason why he was so polite to Lin Xiu and the others was only because he was afraid of the sect behind Lin Xiu.
However, he would not show this to Lin Xiu. He was also obedient to Lin Xiu's request, basically to the extent that if Lin Xiu needed something, he would not dare to disobey.
But in the opinion of Lin Xiu, who had experienced many things, he still needed to give the City Lord of Cold River City a shot in the arm. Lin Feng, who was sitting below, saw Lin Xiu throw a glance at him and immediately understood.
He stood up directly from his seat, bowed to the City Lord of Cold River City who was in the Harmonious Spirit Realm, and then said, "City Lord, don't worry. Brother Lin is an inner sect disciple of the Gui Yuan Sect. In terms of strength, he is not weaker than a Harmonious Spirit Realm. With the help of the four of us, no matter how powerful the evil cultivator is, he will not be able to do anything."
If it was in the Lin family, Lin Feng would definitely not dare to speak like this to a Harmonious Spirit Realm warrior. But after staying in the Gui Yuan Sect for so long, the Harmonious Spirit Realm, which was originally high and mighty in his eyes, was no longer so awe-inspiring. In the sect, warriors of the Middle Realm could be seen everywhere, not to mention the Harmonious Spirit Realm in the Lower Realm.
After Lin Feng's words, the City Lord of Cold River City finally had a trace of respect for the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
Such a genius who had the combat strength of a Harmonious Spirit Realm at the middle stage of the Bone Tempering Realm had a promising future. He was actually not someone that the City Lord of Tianshui Dynasty could afford to offend.
After adjusting his attitude, the City Lord of Cold River City ordered his men to collect clues about the evil cultivator.
He bowed slightly to Lin Xiu, who was sitting on the main seat, and then stood up from his seat with a smile on his face, "Envoys, you have come from afar. I have prepared a table of banquets in my mansion. Please do me the honor."
Lin Xiu and the others were naturally not unreasonable people, so they nodded and agreed at once. He still had many things to ask the City Lord for advice.
After a round of toasting, the young men's faces were already flushed, and they were a little drunk.
The few of them were not old to begin with, and they were usually focused on cultivation, so they had not drunk much wine.
However, under the hospitality of the City Lord of Cold River City, they could not refuse. They could only drink the strong liquor directly.
At this time, their stomachs seemed to be on fire, but in this cold weather, there was some warmth.
After eating and drinking, Lin Feng and the others returned to their rooms to rest. Lin Xiu forcibly used his yuan qi to refine the remaining wine in his body, and then went to the room of the City Lord of Cold River City.
Seeing Lin Xiu suddenly visit, the City Lord of Cold River City was shocked.
"Envoy, why don't you go to the wing room and rest early? It's cold outside, don't catch a cold. "The City Lord of Cold River City looked at Lin Xiu with concern.
In this regard, Lin Xiu just snorted coldly, and then said directly, "Lord of Cold River City, how dare you!"
Hearing this, the City Lord of Cold River City was a little puzzled.
"Why can't I understand what Lord Envoy said?"
Lin Xiu's face suddenly became sullen, "They can't tell what is mixed in the wine? Do you think I can't tell either! "
Lin Feng and the others couldn't tell what was mixed in the wine, but Lin Xiu, who had memorized the Treasure Identification of Spiritual Herbs, was not so easy to be fooled. It was just that after realizing that the medicine was not harmful to the human body, Lin Xiu did not suddenly make trouble at the banquet, but at this time, he came alone, wanting to see what the City Lord of Cold River City was up to.
Hearing this, the City Lord of Cold River City could only smile bitterly.
It turned out that before the banquet, he had already received a secret report from his subordinates, saying that they had found the traces of the evil cultivator.
Although Lin Feng said that Lin Xiu's cultivation was not weaker than the Harmonious Spirit Realm, he still did not dare to let Lin Xiu take this risk. Compared with Lin Xiu's safety, the evil cultivator became a small matter, so he ordered someone to secretly put some sleeping powder in the wine.
However, the powder was not harmful to people, but it would make people feel very sleepy. He just wanted to take advantage of the time when Lin Xiu and the others were asleep to hunt down the evil cultivator alone.
After hearing the explanation of the City Lord of Cold River City, Lin Xiu's expression also eased a lot.
Then, he suddenly clenched his palm into a fist and punched toward the City Lord of Cold River City beside him.
Feeling the strength coming toward him, the face of the City Lord of Cold River City changed suddenly. At the moment, he did not dare to hesitate and also hit over with an energy stripe.
Both of them took a few steps back. The City Lord of Cold River City looked at the young man in front of him with an expression of unconcealable ecstasy.
