"If I remember correctly, apart from Nephew Lu, there was also a Rogue Cultivator with the surname Shen involved in the last mission. That should be you, Shen Luo, right?" The man with a sword on his back suddenly said with a smile.
This man was tall and had a mighty appearance, but when he spoke, he gave off a very kind feeling.
"Senior Gong has a good memory. I did participate in this matter with Fellow Lu that day." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Just now, Lu Huaming had secretly sent a voice transmission to introduce the names of the other people, focusing on the two people beside Master Huangmu. The man with a sword on his back was called Gong Dian, and the young woman in a palace dress was called Yin Yixian. They were both Consecrators of the Tang Empire.
"Do you have any clues about how the ghost of Jinghe Dragon King escaped?" Gong Dian asked.
"I'm also confused. I really don't understand." Shen Luo shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Gong Dian looked at Shen Luo, and a layer of strange light like ripples appeared in the depths of his eyes.
The young woman in the imperial dress and Master Huang Mu turned their heads slightly and looked over. Gong Dian shook his head imperceptibly.
"Forget it. It's meaningless to investigate how Jinghe Dragon King escaped from the Underworld. The most important thing now is how to deal with him." Master Huang Mu waved his hand.
"Master is right." Gong Dian nodded.
"Seniors, although there is no place for me to speak, I have a doubt in my heart. I don't know if I should say it." A voice suddenly sounded. It was the young man with the surname Wu next to Fairy Qing Hua. He walked out and said respectfully.
When Shen Luo saw this person suddenly jump out, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"You are Nephew Wu Ming of Mount Putuo. You can say whatever you want." Gong Dian said with a smile.
"In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that Shen Daoyou participated in the Underworld mission that day, and today, he found the trace of Jinghe Dragon King before everyone else. I feel that it's too much of a coincidence. What do you think?" Wu Ming continued to maintain a respectful expression and said softly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present trembled slightly and looked at Shen Luo with a trace of suspicion.
Shen Luo's heart shook as he looked at Wu Ming.
"I'm just speaking my mind. I have absolutely no intention of slandering Shen Daoyou. I hope Shen Daoyou can forgive me." Wu Ming fearlessly met Shen Luo's gaze with a humble expression.
"Really? Shen Luo said with a smile, "I thought you were trying to take revenge because I defeated you in Wanqiu City. It's good that you don't have any selfish motives."
Wu Ming's face revealed a trace of anger, but he hid it in the next moment.
Although the change in his expression only lasted for a moment, everyone present had high cultivation, so how could they miss it? Their suspicion of Shen Luo lessened slightly, and their gazes towards Wu Ming became more meaningful.
"Alright, let's talk about this later. Let's return to the Great Tang government first. Fellow Daoist Qing Hua, Fellow Daoist Mian Yue, why don't you come with us to discuss this matter? " Master Huang Mu spoke with a hint of displeasure in his tone. When he looked at Wu Ming, he was even more displeased.
As a high-level official of the Great Tang government, the last thing he wanted to see was his subordinates scheming against each other.
"Yes, we will follow Senior Huang Mu's arrangement." Fairy Qing Hua and Resident Mian Yue noticed Master Huang Mu's displeasure and hurriedly agreed.
Fairy Qing Hua glared at Wu Ming, and Wu Ming lowered his head and retreated to the side.
"Gong Dian, you are proficient in the art of investigation. Stay here and take some people to investigate the surroundings. See if there is anything wrong." Master Huang Mu said to Gong Dian.
"Yes, Master. Don't worry." Gong Dian nodded.
Then, Master Huang Mu led everyone to the Great Tang government. Shen Luo was also asked to go with them.
Lu Huaming came to Shen Luo's side and whispered, "Brother Shen, don't worry. Master Huang Mu's eyes are like torches. He won't believe the words of a lowly person."
"I naturally believe in Master Huang Mu, but I also feel that this matter is too coincidental. We ran into that Jinghe Dragon King twice in a row." Shen Luo bitterly smiled.
"Don't say that. Fortunately, you encountered this matter today. Otherwise, even more people would have been harmed. In that case, His Majesty would also blame you. Speaking of which, you have once again helped the Great Tang government," Lu Huaming said gratefully.
"It was just a coincidence. Brother Lu, did you leave the city to go to the Yin Ridge Mountains?" Shen Luo smiled and then thought of something and asked.
"Yes, the evil spirits in the ancient tomb suddenly went on a rampage and went out to harm people. It took a few days before those evil spirits were finally driven back." Lu Huaming looked exhausted.
Shen Luo just came out of the ancient tomb not long ago. He wanted to ask more about the ancient tomb in the Yin Ridge Mountains. However, because of Wu Ming, he was now suspected of colluding with evil spirits. If people knew that he went to the ancient tomb in the Yin Ridge Mountains not long ago, there would be more trouble, so he could only endure.
"Speaking of which, Brother Shen's cultivation has greatly improved. You have already stepped into the Soul Condensation Realm. Congratulations." Lu Huaming looked at Shen Luo and said with a smile.
"I was just lucky to break through." Shen Luo smiled.
The two chatted as they hurried.
The group quickly returned to the Great Tang government. Master Huang Mu first went to the main hall with Fairy Qing Hua, Sleeping Moon Resident, and the others. It seemed that there was something important to discuss. He asked Lu Huaming to take Shen Luo to rest first and then summon him later.
Lu Huaming took Shen Luo back to his residence. As soon as they entered the room, Lu Huaming held a jug of wine to satisfy his appetite. Shen Luo also accompanied him to drink some.
Lu Huaming didn't know whether it was because he was too tired or because of the wine, but it didn't take long for him to fall asleep on the table.
Shen Luo sent her to the bedroom in the inner room to rest. He sat in the living room outside and carefully thought about the whole thing that happened today.
This was a habit he had maintained since he stepped into the Immortal Cultivation World. He summarized everything he encountered and found his own shortcomings. Only by constantly improving himself could he go further in the dangerous Immortal Cultivation World.
"The situation was urgent before, so I didn't have time to take a good look at this thing." After sitting for a while, he suddenly remembered something. He turned his hand and took out the yellow talisman that turned into a brass bell.
Shen Luo's divine sense entered it and his face quickly showed a surprised expression.
There was no restriction in this bell, and there was nothing special about it.
He frowned slightly. This bell could make ghosts lose their minds. He originally thought that it was a high-grade magic tool. Who knew that it was just an ordinary bell.
However, this bell was not completely nothing special. There was a strange energy inside the bell, but the amount was not much.
Shen Luo pondered for a moment and used his magic power to ring the bell.
"Ding dong … ding dong …"
The crisp sound of the bell echoed in the room. It was very pleasant to the ears. He didn't feel anything wrong with it.
"Hmm?" His eyes moved.
After the bell rang, the strange energy inside the bell was consumed by a lot.
"Brat … Stop … Ah …" A painful scream came from the Qiankun bag at his waist. It was the general ghost that let out that scream.
Shen Luo hurriedly entered it with his divine sense and his face showed surprise.
