C135

Mu Xiaoling and the others left the Feng Clan and walked on the main street.

Today, the main street was extremely deserted. All the shops were closed, and not a single stall could be seen. Even the pedestrians were in a hurry, fearing that the unknown devil would dig out their heart if they were too slow.

Yesterday was a beautiful day, but today, it was deserted. In just one day, the difference was like the sky and the earth.

The three of them had heavy hearts.

Tang Ling asked, "Where should we go first?"

Mu Xiaoling said, "Let's go to the crime scene and have a look."

Tang Ling and Qi Tai had already asked around and brought Mu Xiaoling through the alleyway to a house.

This was an alley, and every twenty steps or so, there would be a gate, and they would stop at the second gate.

There were two officials standing guard at the door, but they seemed to be very sleepy and were dozing off.

"Watch me." Tang Ling whispered. She took out a handkerchief and pretended to be a passerby as she walked over. Before she passed by the two officials, she threw the handkerchief in her hands and the two officials immediately fell to the ground, unconscious.

Tang Ling came back proudly, "My handkerchief being soaked in a medicine jar is effective even for cultivators below the Fourth Level of Martial Disciple."

"You're awesome." Qi Tai praised.

"Let's go in and take a look." Mu Xiaoling led the way into the yard. It was a three-room courtyard and the exterior of the house was shabby. It was obvious that the owner was not a rich person.

This house was left behind by his parents. Last night, they had originally gambled at the Feng Xiang gambling house and lost all their pants, but in the end, the house was defeated. The gambling house was originally prepared to come back this morning to collect the house, but then they found out that Tuesday died in the house.

Mu Xiaoling listened quietly, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Perhaps this was just an ordinary crime scene in the eyes of others, but in her eyes, the demonic energy here was monstrous. Especially in the main house, the demonic energy was so dense that it seemed to form.

This was a very strange phenomenon.

Ordinary demons would restrain their demonic aura, and the higher the grade, the more reserved the demon aura. People like Xiao Yu, as long as he didn't say anything, no one would know that he was a demon.

This was really getting weirder and weirder.

Mu Xiaoling looked at Tang Ling. "Was the body found in the bedroom?"

"Yeah." "How did you know?" Tang Ling replied subconsciously.

"Aren't you sleeping in the bedroom at night?" After Mu Xiaoling finished speaking, she entered the master bedroom.

The scene was still the same as before, but the corpse had been carried away. Mu Xiaoling walked around and suddenly saw a strange footprint on the ground.

It was strange because the footprints were made from condensed demonic energy. Judging by the size, it should be the feet of an adult man.

She looked around and suddenly found that there was also demonic energy floating in the seams of the bed. She walked over to check it out and found that it was actually a gold ingot.

Mu Xiaoling weighed it in her hand and at the same time, she became even more doubtful. According to Tang Ling's previous inquiries, this Tuesday was filled with gambles and it was impossible for him to have such a large gold ingot. But if it wasn't his own, then wouldn't the person who gave him the gold ingot be the murderer?

Tang Ling was also surprised, "What a big gold ingot!"

Qi Tai said, "But there shouldn't be any gold ingots on this Tuesday."

"Let me see." Tang Ling grabbed the gold ingot and said in shock: "There's a character here, it's the word 'Mu'!"

Qi Tai was also at a loss, "Which family would carve their surname on a ingot? Is there anyone in this city with the surname Mu?"

"Yes." Mu Xiaoling's face darkened. "Have you forgotten about me? We've been set up. Let's go!"

It was a trap for her.

However, just as the three of them reached the courtyard, a group of soldiers rushed in and surrounded them. The one leading them was Commander Hu.

However, at this moment, the leader raised his eyebrows and said, "You people are really despicable. You actually dare to pretend to be demons to kill people. You really deserve to die!"

Tang Ling was at a loss for words, "What nonsense are you spouting? We just want to investigate and find out the truth as soon as possible. We are wholeheartedly helping, so how can you slander us like this!"

"Help?" Commander Hu sneered, "Your so-called help is just to confuse our people and sneak in. I see that you guys aren't trying to help, but want to take away that only piece of evidence. Do you think we didn't find that gold ingot?"

Qi Tai frowned, "We didn't kill anyone, this was set up by someone."

"framing?" Commander Hu didn't believe it at all. He felt that these people were just lying to him, "How can the word 'Mu' on the gold ingot explain this? Besides, you guys entered the city yesterday and were fine. But today, something like this happened. How dare you deny it!" He immediately ordered, "Capture them."

The soldiers swarmed over. Tang Ling hurriedly said, "Little Ling, quickly run!"

"You two, go!" Qi Tai shouted and rushed forward.

"Little Ling, quickly leave. If you find out the truth, return us our innocence. I can't leave Qi Tai behind." Tang Ling stood in front of Mu Xiaoling, blocking all of the attacks.

Mu Xiaoling sighed. Today, they had been completely tricked by someone. For the time being, they had to take the blame. However, they could not leave Tang Ling and Qi Tai to fend for themselves. "Let's go together." She flew up, carrying one in each hand as she took her fifth step, shooting straight into the sky.

"I knew you would run." Commander Hu sneered and gave the order, "Archers, prepare for the attack of the Qilin Camp!"

Once Commander Hu gave the order, three men in black clothing flew out from the surroundings and attacked Mu Xiaoling.

The Qiling Battalion was an organization organized by the mayor to guard outside of the army and specifically accept wandering martial arts cultivators who didn't belong to any family. These people had extremely high kung fu and were at least Fighter level 8 or higher.

When Commander Hu estimated Mu Xiaoling's strength, he guessed that it was likely that she was a Martial Master. Thus, there was a Martial Master amongst the disciples from the special forces camp.

Mu Xiaoling quickly discovered that one of the three black-clothed men was a Martial Master. Normally, she would have been able to fight, but now she brought two of them with her. This would have been quite troublesome.

Tang Ling also realized that she was not in a good state, "Let us leave."

Qi Tai also advised, "Lady Mu, leave us behind."

"Shut up." Mu Xiaoling clenched her teeth as she avoided the first wave of attacks from the three and was forced back into the courtyard. Once again, she was caught in the ambush of the soldier.

Commander Hu proudly looked at them and said, "This commander already knew that you were going to run, so how could I not be prepared?"

At this crucial moment, Mu Xiaoling felt Gu Xiu's eyelids twitch.
