After confirming the attitude of the Pavilion of Righteousness and settling the matter with Ksitigarbha Temple, Miao Yi returned to the headquarters and immediately started making arrangements.
Yang Qing and the others quickly organized the situation in the phantom market. He had to report it to his superiors. He also told Yang Qing that he would only wait for a year. After that, he would bring Yang Qing back to the small world with him. If there was anything he needed to bring back, he had to do it as soon as possible.
After that, he contacted the Six Paths and had the external forces gather the cultivation resources they needed to bring into Purgatory. He also told them that there was a way to enter Purgatory and gave them two years to prepare. Two years later, he would return to Purgatory and help them bring the items in.
The Six Paths was shocked and repeatedly asked Miao Yi if there was really a way to bring the cultivation resources in.
It was up to them to believe it or not. Miao Yi told them that he couldn't always go to Purgatory and let them do as they see fit. However, he also made it clear that he couldn't let the external forces know his true identity in the Six Paths.
As for why he dared to reveal this secret to the Six Paths, it was because the Skytraversing Palace had given him the confidence to suppress the Six Paths. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do so.
At the same time, he ordered the external forces to slowly stock up on Orbs of Will. This was what he wanted. He wouldn't let the Six Paths suffer a loss. He would use items of equal value to exchange for them.
After that, he ordered Yun Zhiqiu to stock up a batch of Vitality Reinforcement Pills and Basic Immortal Pills. The majority of the Vitality Reinforcement Pills were to be brought back to the small world to exchange for Orbs of Will. From now on, he would have all the Orbs of Will in the small world, even though there weren't many.
Yun Zhiqiu naturally understood why he wanted to do this. Miao Yi had the advantage of using Orbs of Will to cultivate and could save a lot of cultivation resources.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Carefree Inn, an inn diagonally opposite the headquarters of the phantom market.
A pale-faced man who had just checked in walked out of the guest room and looked around. He walked half a circle along the inner corridor to the opposite side and slowly walked to the door of a guest room. "Cough, cough." He coughed slightly rhythmically.
'Clack!' The sound of a bolt being unlocked came from behind the door. The pale-faced man looked around. He pushed the door open and entered, then quickly closed the door behind him.
Beside the slightly opened window of the house, a bearded man turned around and looked over. The pale-faced man gestured. The curly-bearded man returned the gesture.
After confirming that it was the liaison, the curly-bearded man faintly transmitted his voice with slight dissatisfaction. "The situation has been reported in the morning paper. Why are you only here now?"
The pale-faced man said, "I know it's hard for you to watch him day and night, but the higher-ups have instructed me to do so. The Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness is not to be trifled with. If you want to make a move in the Ghost City, you must be careful and careful. You'd rather be a little slower than to arouse suspicion. "
The curly bearded man didn't say anything else. He walked to the side of the couch and sat down cross-legged. He heaved a heavy sigh of relief. This short period of time was truly too much for him to bear.
The pale-faced man took over his post. He stood sideways in front of the half-open window and looked out, just in time to have a clear view of the movements in and out of the main town's manor. He asked casually, "What's the matter?"
With his eyes closed, the bearded man said slowly, "You only need to note down all the people going in and out of the headquarters. Focus on Niu Youde's wife. If she comes out, tell me immediately. You don't need to worry about anything else."
The white-faced man: "The main point is Niu Youde's wife? What are we doing? "
The bearded man: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
The white-faced man was speechless. He could only turn back and continue to stare out of the window.
In the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness, Manager Qi Jue quickly walked to the door of the owner's house. He knocked on the door regularly and shouted, "Owner."
"Come in!" Cao Man's voice came from inside the house.
Qi Jue pushed the door open and closed it again. He walked to the side of Cao Man who was sitting cross-legged in meditation and said, "There may be some situation outside the headquarters."
Cao Man, who had her eyes closed, said indifferently, "What situation?"
Qi Jue: "Three months ago, a person stayed in the Carefree Inn diagonally opposite the headquarters. He happened to stay in a room in the most guarded position because that place can observe the movements of the headquarters. "
Cao Man: "Is there anything unusual?"
Qi Jue: "It seems normal, but after the observation of the people below, they found that the window of that room is almost always open. It should be just enough to see the headquarters, and the person who stays in the room doesn't even go out. Just yesterday, the people we sent to the inn found that a guest sneaked into that person's room and hasn't come out until today. The two big men stayed in the room for the whole day and finished talking about the big matter. What's more, both of them have their own rooms, which is indeed suspicious. "
Cao Man spat out a word almost without thinking, full of domineeringness, "Arrest!"
Qi Jue stared blankly, "Our people have been watching, but they haven't done anything. If we arrest them now …"
Cao Man directly interrupted, "Do we wait until something happens before we take action? I want to nip off any signs of trouble in time! Old Qi, Niu Youde can't have an accident now, at least not in the Ghost City. I don't care about other places, but there must be no problem in the Ghost City! I don't care who it is, as long as there is anything suspicious, even if there is something wrong with their eyes, arrest them first. If we arrest the wrong person, we'll just let them go. We'll do as you say in the future. "
Even if there is something wrong with their eyes, isn't it a bit too serious? Qi Jue sweated a little and accepted the order, "Yes! I'll arrange it now! "
In the Carefree Inn, several men directly strode in and went upstairs without saying anything.
"Sir!" The waiter quickly blocked them at the stairway and said with a smile, "Sir, do you want to stay in the inn or are you looking for someone? If you're looking for someone, please inform us first. If you want to stay in the inn, please pay first. "He gestured towards the counter.
Unexpectedly, several people came in from outside the inn. One of them went straight to the counter and showed a token to the innkeeper behind the counter.
The innkeeper was instantly dumbfounded. The person holding the token tilted his head towards the stairway and made a "hmm" sound. The innkeeper hurriedly waved his hand to make way.
Thus, the innkeeper and the waiter in the inn were quickly gathered to one side and watched.
Three people went straight upstairs. When they reached the first floor, their footsteps didn't stop, and they confidently walked to the door of a room. The person in the lead casually opened the door.
Inside the room, the pale-faced man standing by the window and the curly-bearded man sitting cross-legged on the couch turned their heads in surprise. When they saw the people who broke in, the two reacted almost immediately without saying anything. The pale-faced man quickly broke the window and jumped out, while the curly-bearded man collapsed the bed and fell to the ground.
Outside the window, a few black shadows flashed by and flew towards the pale-faced man from three directions.
The pale-faced man quickly brandished his sword in a frenzy. However, the difference in cultivation between him and the person who intercepted him was too great. His opponent caught his sword with his bare hands at an even faster speed and grabbed his wrist. With a twist, his arm broke with a 'kacha' sound, and the next thing he knew, his throat was already gripped so tightly that he couldn't move.
The pale-faced man's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth. Before he even landed, pink smoke came out of his nostrils. His eyes that quickly darkened and sunk into his eye sockets revealed an incomparably beautiful and satisfied expression. The person who grabbed him was shocked and shouted towards the window above, "Du Ya!"
Inside the room, the curly-bearded man collapsed the bed. The person who rushed in first had already lashed out with a steel whip as fast as lightning.
The curly-bearded man waved his hand, and the steel whip instantly turned into dust. Then, it condensed into smoke and turned into sharp arrows that shot out.
The person who rushed in was shocked. He shook his arms in front of his chest and his protective aura seemed to take form, blocking the sharp arrows in front of him.
It was already too late for the people who rushed in from his left and right to attack. The curly-bearded man fell to the ground as if he had fallen into water. The stone floor rippled and drowned him.
Downstairs, the moment the curly-bearded man fell from the upper floor, the leader of the three people waiting in the room with his hands behind his back flashed out like a ghost and pressed his palm against the man's back.
The curly-bearded man was caught off guard. He didn't expect that there would be people waiting downstairs. In fact, not to mention downstairs, there were people all around him waiting for him. He couldn't go anywhere.
"Pu!" He spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he could fly away, someone had already grabbed his chin.
The person who grabbed his chin exerted strength in his five fingers. "Pu pu." The curly-bearded man spat out a mouthful of blood along with all of his teeth that had been pulled out. They fell to the ground with a pitter patter.
The person who restrained him grabbed him and stuffed him into the beast sack with a flip of his hand. Without saying a word, he turned around and left as if nothing had happened.
The person behind him cast a spell and waved his hand. The teeth that had fallen to the ground exploded. A pink capsule jumped out from one of them and fell into his palm. Then, he turned around and left as well.
The people upstairs and downstairs met at the bottom of the stairs. They nodded at each other and quickly went down. The startled customers in the inn ran out and leaned against the railing with their heads stretched out. They stared blankly at this scene, not knowing what had happened.
In the lobby downstairs, when a group of people went out, someone sent a telepathic message to the innkeeper, "Go to the Trust Pavilion to claim compensation for all the losses in the inn." After saying that, he left.
The group of people came quickly and left just as quickly. The innkeeper, who had walked to the door and watched them leave, was still a little confused.
When the curly-bearded man saw the light again, he discovered that he had already fallen to the ground. He didn't know where he was. He only knew that he was in a stone room. There was a corpse that was as thin as a skeleton on the side. He only needed one glance to guess that it was his accomplice. This was because he knew under what circumstances he would end up like this.
When he raised his head again, there was a row of black-clothed people standing in front of him. They were led by a fierce-looking, stocky, bearded man who was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. He was holding a cup of tea and slowly sipping on it.
The stocky man put down the cup and tilted his head. Immediately, someone came over and pulled him up. They undid part of the restriction on his body. The mask on his face was also pulled off, revealing a handsome and extraordinary face. The blood on the corners of his mouth and nostrils was even more conspicuous.
"Yo! I didn't expect to catch a pretty boy. " The stocky man stood up and laughed. He put his hands behind his back and nodded, "Pretty boy, are you going to tell the truth yourself, or do you want us to pry your mouth open?"
The handsome man who had revealed his true face gasped. He seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the people in the stone room and asked, "Are you people from the Trust Pavilion?"
The stocky man sneered and didn't answer.
Not answering was also a kind of attitude. The handsome man understood. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had bumped into the hands of the Trust Pavilion. They had sent so many experts to catch him. No wonder he was so wronged. He gasped again and said, "I don't understand. I didn't do anything, and I didn't offend you. Why did you catch me?"
The stocky man said indifferently, "Because you left the window open for too long. We don't like you!"
