Chapter 85
The city lord's mansion is located east of Tenglong City at the foot of the Tenglong Mountains. With a mansion, it occupies 30% of the entire Tenglong City.
Tens of thousands of attics are lined with carved railings and jade buildings everywhere, and jade buildings are beautiful.
The bells echo occasionally, giving people a solemn and solemn feeling.
In Chen Rui's feeling, the place is rich in spiritual energy, comparable to the normal place in Jianjizhou.
As the city lord's mansion approached, dense groups of monks landed on the ground with Long Yun. Soon, many people from the mansion went out to greet him.
These people were for a middle-aged man in a gray robe. He first bowed to Long Yunyi and said, "Thank you for your hard work, third brother."
Long Yun waved his hand and said, "Old Ba, you can settle these people, I'll go to Longteng Tower again."
The man in gray robe nodded, and then a sense of arrogance immediately appeared in his expression. He looked around and looked around the monk who came to the next level and spoke lightly: "You can respond to my Long Family's intention. When you come here, you will be the guests of this mansion. Your residence is my Long Mansion's guest room, and there will be someone to lead you later. But remember not to walk around at will. Once you have any behavior that crosses the line, you will be killed without mercy!"
The man in gray robe turned around and looked at the large number of servants behind him and said, "Take these seniors to the guest room."
Then the man in gray robe nodded to the monks, turned around and strode away.
"Seniors, please follow us and we will guide you in the guest room." After the man in the gray robe left, the servants stepped forward one by one, bowed to Chen Rui and others, and spoke respectfully.
The two teenagers who guided Chen Rui and Meteor here were sixteen or seventeen years old, and their cultivation was at the sixth level of Qi Condensation. When they looked at Meteor, they couldn't help but be stunned and their faces turned red...
"Let's go!" Chen Rui smiled helplessly and spoke lightly.
"Yes, yes..." One of the boys reacted first and guided Chen Rui and the others to the temporary residence.
Under the guidance of the two teenagers, Chen Rui and Meteor came to a loft courtyard, surrounded by willows and bluestone in the small road, which looked very good.
Of course, this courtyard is still adjacent to the same style of courtyard, and at first glance, there are a large number.
After entering the courtyard, the two young men handed over a jade slip and said respectfully: "There is a list of items that our Dragon Mansion needs in the ancient ruins."
After Chen Rui took it, he took out a hundred low-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and beat the two boys.
The two of them looked at the spirit stone, and their eyes flashed with a different luster. They still looked incredible and incredible when they left.
You should know that in the Five Spirit Realm where the spiritual energy is so thin, the preciousness of spirit stones is far greater than that of the outside world’s Sword and Jizhou.
Chen Rui and Meixing looked at each other, found a room, and walked in.
Soon, the sky darkened, and when the night fell, there was silence around, and only the sound of birds, beasts and insects came continuously.
Chen Rui sat cross-legged on the wooden bed at the door, closing his eyes and meditating, using his spiritual power to impact the forty-eighth obscure tendons.
Suddenly, his eyes opened, and just as his eyes opened, a brief and shrill scream suddenly came from the distance in the quiet night sky, and then it stopped abruptly.
The scream was extremely shrill but short, as if the throat was torn to pieces by a person and could no longer make a sound.
Chen Rui stood up and stood next to the window. Five stars outside shone, shining with each other.
If his perception was not wrong, the screams should have come from the eighth courtyard on his left.
As the screams came to an abrupt end, Chen Rui could feel several long rainbows coming through the air and heading straight to the courtyard where screams came from.
Soon, a long rainbow passed through the sky again, and as if nothing had been born before, it became quiet again.
The night is still the same, and insects and birds are singing, but it gives people a heavy sense of depression, which makes people unable to get angry.
Chen Rui frowned and fell into deep thought.
The city lord's mansion gathered, and screams were heard. Who dared to commit murder in the city lord's mansion?
Chen Rui's expression changed slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Spirit Eater! There is no other explanation except this.
Moreover, this is definitely not an ordinary spirit devourer. After all, it is the city lord's mansion. There are thousands of cultivators gathering, and it dares to commit murder and swallow, which is evident.
Chen Rui took out the strange bead, but the bead did not emit red light.
"It seems that the spirit-eating person must be within a certain range before it can be detected." Chen Rui put away the beads and thoughtful.
Shaking his head, Chen Rui continued to go back to meditate.
Time passed slowly, and soon three hours passed, and another short and shrill scream broke through the night sky.
This time, the place where screams came from was far away from Chen Rui.
Soon, another rainbow came through the sky and rushed to the screaming place.
Chen Rui's eyes condensed, he stood up and went to the window, his spiritual consciousness dispersed directly, observing the screams in front of him, and heard the sound of quarrels there.
"Before the ruins are opened, I will give you an explanation."
An old voice came from afar.
As the sound appeared, an old man wearing a golden silk Taoist robe. The old man had a red face. When he came into the air, a sharp pressure emanated from his body, which directly changed the faces of the monks.
"Meet the Great Elder."
The soldiers of the city lord's mansion who surrounded the courtyard quickly bowed.
Chen Rui's eyes suddenly shrank. The old man's cultivation was so strong that he had far surpassed the lightning loss at the time. He was a real monk in the Killing Pill.
"I am very grateful to you all come to my city lord's mansion to participate in the great events. As for the tragedy that has been happening in recent days, it must be the work of the spirit-eating person. Don't worry, I will find this cunning beast and give you an explanation." The old man's voice was loud and spread throughout everyone's hearts.
"Elder Long Xiao comes forward, and we will feel much more at ease. I hope to catch the spirit-eating mansion as soon as possible." The monks bowed their fists.
Soon, wherever Chen Rui's spiritual consciousness reached, he became quiet. As Long Xiao left, the casual cultivators also left one by one.
Only some soldiers were left in the field, and they were still guarding the courtyard where something was wrong.
Chen Rui was secretly shocked. It turned out that this kind of thing happened more than once. Could it be that the spirit-eating person who committed the murder was really so unscrupulous?
Chen Rui knew that this was absolutely unusual, and his vigilance increased several times in an instant.
At the same time, in a secret room in the city lord's palace, there were lights swaying on the walls around the entire secret room. In the secret room, there was a high platform, and there was a huge pool of blood in the center of the high platform.
At this moment, three old men and a middle-aged man were sitting cross-legged.
And the entire secret room was filled with the light of the formation.
The four of them stared at the blood pool. At this moment, one of the old men's eyes showed their brilliance and said in a deep voice: "Our tribe's hemolysis plan is here. Once successful, it will not only be able to escape from the control of the forbidden gate, but also start the ancestor's thousand-year plan!"
The only middle-aged man among the four frowned slightly, looked at the three old men and said, "Three clan uncles, this method was passed down from ancient times, and the success was less than 30%.
"Teng'er, let alone 30%, even 10%, we have to do it. Otherwise, our Long family will be a slave for life! The ancestor's lifespan is not much. If he misses such an opportunity, everything he did in the past will be wasted." A hunchbacked old man said sternly.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded, and he knew very well that if this move failed, he would be successful.
The middle-aged man continued: "There are enough casual cultivators outside, and probably many spirit-eating people are involved. It's time to implement the plan."
