Instead of going through the front door, Mengqi leaped over the courtyard wall and landed without a sound. He pulled out the Meridian with his left hand. The blade was simple and unadorned, with black and white intertwining.
Using Will-projecting and the Immortal Pressing Art, Mengqi found that there were two people in the left wing room. Their genuine Qi was changing rapidly and moving rapidly. Apparently, they were on high alert.
"Did the noise just now disturb them?" This thought flashed through Mengqi's mind. He kicked a pebble with his right foot and threw it at the window of the wing room.
At the same time, he held his long sword and rushed forward with the pebble. Unexpectedly, he was like a shadow, like a phantom or a demon.
The pebble pierced through the paper window and hit the two people in the room. They were the coquettish young woman and the sickly invalid.
Two short blades appeared in the young woman's hands. With a light flick, she flicked the stones away. Just as she was about to look in the direction of the attack to guard against a follow-up attack, a black shadow appeared in front of her in a flash. It was as if an evil spirit had appeared in her heart!
The Meridian, which had been waiting for a long time, pierced through the two daggers that the young woman used to flick the pebble away and casually touched her throat.
The sickly invalid threw himself behind Mengqi and hit him in the back with his palms. However, Mengqi turned around and his strength disappeared without a trace.
A familiar force came and made him lose his balance. The Meridian lightly touched him again, and he slowly fell to the ground with his hands on his throat.
In less than a breath, the two disciples of Plain Girl Taoism were beheaded without any ability to resist. With the help of the Immortal Pressing Art, the Hallucination Body Movements, and the Nine Strategies Beyond the Swords, Mengqi seemed to be taking a stroll in the park.
Mengqi did not waste any time. He looked around the room to see if there was anything worth investigating.
Suddenly, he focused his eyes and saw a small altar on the ground. However, the altar was dim and full of cracks. Obviously, something had happened.
"It seems that the Successor of Mystic Fairy was really killed by Gu Xiaosang …" This was the altar to summon the Successor of Mystic Fairy. If she had not died, it would not have become like this without any external force. Therefore, Mengqi guessed it and let out a long sigh of relief.
Even if the Successor of Mystic Fairy was not killed by Gu Xiaosang, she could not return after being pulled into the unknown World of Samsara with the help of the Boundary Monument of the Celestial Court and the Reincarnation Charm. After all, she did not have the Dominator of Samsara in the Six Realms.
What he saw made Mengqi understand that Xiaosang's real goal was the Immortal Qi of the Successor of Mystic Fairy was the medium to activate the Boundary Monument of the Celestial Court and open the Gate of the Ninth Heaven.
"What she said about the secret of the Successor of Mystic Fairy from the ancient books should be the information she got from the serial tasks of the Heavenly Court … Otherwise, how could it be so easy for the ancient books to record the secret that had been passed down for so many generations without any outsiders knowing?"
"But I've still managed to trick the demoness once!"
Even though Demoness Gu got what she wanted in the end, Meng Qi believed that this was definitely not the method she had in mind. It was just a last resort. After all, the temptation of the ruins of the Ninth Heaven was enough to alarm Dharmakaya masters, and Exterior masters would flock to it like ducks. Who would want the whole world to know that they were exploring the ruins in search of treasures?
Although they could not find the Ninth Heaven ruins, Gu Xiaosang would be chased by the masters of the Exterior in the future. Birds die for food, and men die for wealth!
Moreover, she had obviously hidden this from the Luo Denomination. After the exposure, there would be a rift between her and the Dharmaraja and the Oracle. How could she swallow such a huge treasure that was related to the ancient secret ruins? When they sought to cooperate, would Gu Xiaosang share the secret or not? If she did, would it involve the existence of the Dominator of Samsara in the Six Realms?
Just thinking about it made Mengqi feel a headache for Gu Xiaosang. He suddenly felt relieved.
Moreover, the Ninth Heaven ruins were not something that Gu Xiaosang could explore with her current strength. That was to say, there must be a follow-up step to her serial task. That was to say, she would get into trouble without getting many benefits!
Mengqi speculated that Gu Xiaosang's normal plan was to kill Shan Xiumei and capture some of the aura of the Immortal Spirit before the others could react. Then she would use it to find the Real Body of the Successor of the Mystic Fairy and kill her to get enough aura of the Immortal Spirit. Then she would quietly escape to a deserted place and use the Reincarnation Charm, the Boundary Marker of the Celestial Court, and the aura of the Immortal Spirit to open the "gate".
However, he secretly contacted the Six Fan School and attracted the Exterior and Half-step Exterior Scenery masters who were watching her closely. She had no choice but to use the Boundary Marker of the Celestial Court and the Reincarnation Charm to escape.
Anyway, for Mengqi, the Ninth Heaven ruins had something to do with him, but not much. Even if there was a coveted treasure, he did not know about it and could not get it. Therefore, he did not feel sorry when the news spread. The mystery of the death of Zhenwu Great Emperor and the Successor of the Thunder God were his two goals!
However, for Gu Xiaosang, she was used to being chased by the orthodox and other evil sects. The main problem was the internal affairs of the Luo Denomination. Therefore, Mengqi could not guess how much they could cheat her. Perhaps she could share this secret with him?
After a quick check of the yard, Mengqi did not find any other clues that could harm him. He quickly dragged the coquettish young woman and the sickly man to the bed and poured the oil and wine he found on them all over the room.
After that, he lit a torch made from clothes in a place where there was no oil. He then extended a rope to the bed where the corpses of the beautiful woman and the sickly invalid were. When it slowly burned over, the entire room would be set ablaze, destroying all traces of it.
To prevent accidents from happening, Mengqi prepared several torches and ropes. After lighting all of them, he climbed over the wall and went straight back to the Tower of Flowers.
Not long after entering the Tower of Flowers, Mengqi saw Kong Yu, Wang Ce, and the others coming back empty-handed. They seemed to have found nothing.
Just then, a fire suddenly broke out at the end of Jade Bridge Street, illuminating the sky. They did not say anything and rushed over.
With the fire burning so fiercely, no one knew what the original room looked like. After putting out the fire, Kong Yu searched for a while and came to a conclusion. "There is an altar of the Sect of the Plain Lady in the room. It should be one of their hiding places. The two bodies were burned after death. The fatal wound was in the middle of the throat. It is suspected that they were killed by the Luo Denomination."
The Siren of Grand Luo had just killed the incarnation of the Successor of Mystic Fairy. Wang Zai and the others did not doubt this conclusion at all.
Mengqi found a gap and asked, "Arrester Kong, Childe Wang, I got lost just now. Did you find anything?"
As the "towering gate" scattered into light spots, many people thought it was a chance encounter and chased in different directions. That was why Mengqi said so.
Wang Zai sighed. "Nothing. It seems that the Siren of Grand Luo took the Successor of Mystic Fairy and flew away."
"No clues?" Mengqi asked righteously. In fact, he was concerned about whether they had found the Outsky Strange Stone.
Kong Yu shook his head. "There is nothing special in that yard except daily things."
"I see …" Mengqi looked regretful.
"Then I can rest assured!" The Successor of Mystic Fairy had obviously taken the Outsky Strange Stone with her and was "robbed" by Gu Xiaosang.
As they talked, they returned to Wan Hua Tower. The Siren must have left some clues when she killed someone.
Stepping into Wan Hua Tower, Mengqi was trying to make up a story about the maidservants getting separated in the chaos. Suddenly, he heard a soft voice calling out, "Master, are you okay? I was scared. "
Startled, Mengqi looked sideways and saw a pretty maid in a pink coat walking up to him. Her eyes and eyebrows were similar to Gu Xiaosang's, but she was also wearing makeup to cover up the differences.
"This …" Mengqi was stunned at first and then turned to look at Kong Yu. Kong Yu was looking straight ahead and nodding slightly, as if he was responding to the investigation report of the other arresters.
The Six Fan School always did things cleanly without leaving any loopholes! Mengqi secretly praised and said to the maid, "Little Zi, I'm okay."
"Little Zi" obediently followed behind Mengqi and did not say anything. Wang Zai and the others would not pay attention to a maid and did not notice that she had changed.
At this point, Mengqi's suspicions were greatly reduced. It looked more like the Siren of Grand Luo had assassinated him while he was challenging Huang Zishi.
Wang Ce rushed over with an old servant behind him. When he saw Wang Zai, he asked, "Fourth Brother, have you seen Xiumei? What happened? "
"Why did she change completely after I came back?
How could the Wang Family's legitimate son have an affair with the Successor of Mystic Fairy of the Sect of Mistress Su be leaked? " Wang Zai's expression did not change as he explained using Secret Voice-sending.
Only the Thunder Blade Furious Monk, Arrester Kong, and Silver-badge Arresters had seen what happened in the room. The others were all disciples of the Wang Family.
Of course, he had to tell Su Meng and the others to show the Wang Family friendship after the incident.
After listening to Wang Zai's explanation, Wang Ce's face turned pale. He looked at the other disciples of the Wang Family for support and got an affirmative nod.
He was in a trance and his eyes were unfocused. If the old servant had not patted him on the back, he might have done something disgraceful.
Not long after, the matter was investigated. The Siren had controlled Xue Dongjia with sorcery and made him give her the Myriad Flower Wine. As for what the Siren had dressed up at that time, how could Xue Dongjia remember?
The Wang Family returned to the ancestral house while Mengqi walked to his own yard accompanied by Green-ribbon Arrester Kong Yu.
"Thank you for reminding me, Master Su. Otherwise, I would be regarded as an incompetent official if I didn't notice such a big incident in Yedu." Seeing that there was no one around, Kong Yu thanked him in a low voice. "Master Su, were you chased by the Siren of Grand Luo?"
"I was first chased by her, then provoked the Successor of Mystic Fairy, so I took the risk to cooperate with her to kill the Successor of Mystic Fairy. Then, I lured Arrester Kong and the others to deal with her. I should be the one thanking you," Mengqi answered "honestly". He could not say that he was controlled because it was easy to see.
Kong Yu nodded slightly and looked ahead. "You have to go through with the act. Master Su, challenge Wang Zai in three days."
"Yes." Mengqi had the same intention. He pretended to be in a dilemma. "But the Shaolin Commandment Monk …"
Kong Yu turned to look at him with a smile. Instead of answering, he asked, "Master Su, are you willing to join the Six Fan School?"
