Chapter 163：

"How can I not find it? When this happened, I ordered people to search in the city, but found nothing. Not only that, but more and more people are missing in the city. I am worried about this." Lou The lord looked really sad, with a very sad expression on his face.

"Are there any characteristics of the missing people? Still random?" Since the Lord Lou Cheng was willing to answer this question, Si Lin immediately seized the opportunity to ask more questions.

"There are no characteristics, there are men, women and children, and there is no specific target!" Lou Chengzhu thought for a while and replied.

Si Lin frowned, "Besides, are there any other clues? For example, is there any stranger appearing in the city recently, or other strange things appearing?"

"If you say weird people, there is no one, but there is one peculiar thing." Lou Chengzhu thought for a while and said.

"What's the matter?" Gu Qing asked hurriedly.

"Half a month ago, a place five miles away outside the West City Gate suddenly collapsed, revealing a broken stone stele, and a black statue of unknown material. Because I don’t know its origin, I let someone encircle that place. When I got up, the stone tablets and statues were brought back, but the formations were set up around them." The Lord of the city suddenly became a little surprised, "Since then, people have disappeared in the city. Is it because of the statues and stone tablets? the reason?"

Si Lin and Gu glanced at each other lightly, and both saw surprise from the bottom of each other's eyes.

"I wonder if we can take a look at the statue and stele?" Si Lin suggested to the Lord of the Lou.

"Of course, I'll take you there." At the moment, the lord of the city was wondering if it was because of the stone steles and statues that caused successive accidents in Wuyun City. Hearing Si Lin's words, he immediately agreed.

The two followed behind the city lord, turning around, and came to a separate room. The city lord opened the door in front.

"It's here. No one knows the words on the stone tablet. The statue is also weird and looks very weird. So I threw it here. I also set up a special formation." As he walked in, the lord of the city was facing. Gu Qing and Si Lin explained.

This room is an empty room with a lot of dust inside. On the open space in the center of the room is a stone stele with a missing corner, and a black stone statue that is half a person high next to it.

Gu Qing and Si Lin walked to the front of the stone stele and statue. Lou Chengzhu removed the formation so that they could observe the stone stele and statue from close range. The stele did have words like what Lou Chengzhu said, but those words It was not a font commonly used in the world of immortals. Si Lin took a look and found that he didn't recognize it at all. He frowned, looked away, and looked at the statue.

Gu Qing's gaze stayed on the stone tablet for a while, a gleam of light flashed under his eyes, he glanced at the Lord Lou, and then turned his gaze to the statue.

The material of the statue was not recognized by Gu’s light eyes, and it looked very strange. It looked like a monster. It looked a bit like a lion, but it was not a lion. The tail was like the tail of a snake. There are also scales, and the nails on the claws are very sharp.

Gu Qing asked herself that she had also memorized the "A Book of Ten Thousand Beasts" that Wen Guiyun gave her back, but she didn't recognize what kind of monster it was.

She and Si Lin glanced at each other, both a little surprised.

"This stone tablet and statue don't look very special, and there is no breath on it. It shouldn't be because of their willingness." Gu lightly looked at the Lord of the Lou, and said with some uncertainty.

"Except for this stone tablet and statue, nothing special has happened in the city recently." Upon hearing this, the expression of the Lord Lou Cheng became sad again.

"It seems that this matter still needs to be investigated, and the Lord Lou Cheng can rest assured, since we have met, we will help you investigate this matter." Si Lin retracted his gaze from the statue and promised the Lord Lou.

Lou Cheng's lord immediately became happy, "That's really great, there is Young Master Si here, this matter will definitely be resolved!" He seemed very confident in Si Lin.

"Since there are no clues on the city lord's mansion, my junior sister and I will leave to look elsewhere. Thank you for the help of the city lord." Si Lin did not respond to the flattery of the lord city lord, but offered to leave.

"Si Gongzi is polite. If it is useful to me, Si Gongzi can speak, I will send them out." With a smile on his face, the lord of the city also made his own promise.

"Please." Si Linbi gestured, asking Lou Chengzhu to go first.

Lou Chengzhu restarted the formation, and then led Gu Qing and Si Lin to leave until they reached the door. After a few more greetings, Si Lin and Gu Qing Qing left the city lord's mansion.

After walking a few hundred steps, Gu gently looked back at the City Lord's Mansion, his brows tightened, and he turned to look at Si Lin.

"Big brother, what do you think of this city lord?" In order to prevent others from hearing, she used the sound transmission, but she could only see her mouth move, but could not hear the sound.

"The atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion is very wrong, and this City Lord Lou is also wrong, and it feels weird to me." Si Lin also used sound transmission to answer Gu Qing's question knowingly.

"The guards at the door and the subordinates in the City Lord's Mansion are all dead, but there is no trace of life in the Lou City Lord!" Gu Qing said his discovery.

"Well, that's why Lou City Lord is weird." Si Lin also noticed, he felt the same as Gu Qing.

"That stone tablet is also very weird. I know the words on the stone tablet!" Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, and said to Si Lin.

"You know? How come?" Si Lin turned around and asked in surprise.

The words on the stele were not the common words in the sub-immortal realm, nor the words in the records. Si Lin couldn't recognize it, but Gu Qing did not expect to recognize it!

"I don't know. It seems to be in my memory. Those words describe the statue. The statue was carved with a monster of the demon world, named Soul Eater, usually above the level of a demon general. The pet beast itself is not particularly powerful, but it will knock on your door in the middle of the night. If you open the door, you will be fainted by it, and then it will swallow your soul!” Gu Qingqing couldn’t explain why. Knowing those words, anyway, when she saw those words, their meanings came to her mind.

Hearing this, Si Lin’s eyes flashed, “The material of the statue does not belong to the second fairy world. It is a kind of rare ore purple demon mine unique to the demon world. The role of temptation."

Si Lin also read that material accidentally before writing it down. He didn't expect to see it again in Wuyun City!

"So there is indeed a demon cultivator here, and it is also an elder-level demon cultivator, and the other party may also have a soul eater!" Gu Qing concluded, his face a little unsightly.

"Yeah." Si Lin nodded, affirming Gu Qing's summary, "I still don't know where the magic repair is, we still have to be careful."

His eyes swept to the side street, frowning thoughtfully.

Gu nodded lightly and fell into deep thought, neither of them spoke.

...

After Yue Zhao left the inn with Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu, they strolled on the street for a while. When Yun Ran wanted to ask Yue Zhao where they were going to find out the news, she saw Yue Zhao walk to a seller of Cui Ling. Guo's grandmother approached him, with a right smile on his face, and talked with the old grandmother.

In the beginning, Yue Zhao was still talking about Cui Ling Guo with the grandmother, and even bought two catties of Cui Ling Guo. When the grandmother was very happy, suddenly the style of painting changed and asked about other things.

"Old man, I came from another city. I heard that some strange things have happened in Wuyun City recently. I'm very curious. Can you tell me something?" Yue Zhao feels like a noble son. That kind of chatting with grandmother now is so approachable, it is easy for people to have a good impression.

The old grandmother looked around, and suddenly said mysteriously, "Half a month ago, a pit appeared in a place outside the west gate. There was a remnant monument and a statue inside. The city lord asked him to take it to the city lord’s mansion. Then something strange happened in the city. Many people were missing and they couldn't be found!"

A strange color flashed through Yue Zhao's eyes, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, "Is there still such a thing? It looks like Wuyun City is very dangerous."

"The son should leave here quickly, don't stay here for a long time, or something will happen easily!" The old lady seemed to really like Yue Zhao and directly reminded Yue Zhao in a low voice.

"Thank you, old man, I will consider it." Yue Zhao stuffed another low-grade spirit stone into the old woman's hand, stood up, and returned to Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu.

Both Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu were stunned by Yue Zhao’s behavior. They really did not expect that Yue Zhao would do this kind of inquiring about the news, and using such a grounded method, it simply broke their attitude towards Yue Zhao. Cognition!

Yue Zhao knew their thoughts by looking at the expressions of the two of them. He smiled, but did not mean to explain. Instead, he gestured to the two of them to beckon them to follow.

Next, Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu looked at Yue Zhao against his face like a jade, and inquired about the news from all walks of life. Everyone he inquired about talked with him very happily and had a good impression of him. Very high, one after another persuaded him to leave Wuyun City early.

Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu were surprised at first, but in the end they were numb, but their eyes were full of worship when they looked at Yue Zhao!

Not only did Yue Zhao have a noble status and advanced cultivation base, but he was able to achieve such a level. The two of them were highly sought after in the Xuantian Continent before and could not do such a thing at all. This is the difference between them and Yue Zhao.

After half an hour, the three of them sat down in a teahouse.

"From the words of those people just now, it can be concluded that half a month ago, a pit suddenly appeared in a place outside the west gate, and then a stele and a statue appeared inside, and then there was a disappearance in the city, so The disappearance of someone is probably related to those two things." Yue Zhao took a sip of the tea and found that the taste was normal, put the cup down, and said to Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu without hesitation.

"So, are we going to the City Lord's Mansion to see those two things now?" Yun Ran asked curiously.

Yue Zhao shook his head, "No need to go."

"Why?" Zhuo Tingqiu shook his head in confusion. Since they already knew that the whole thing was probably related to those two things, why didn't they go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look?

"If I'm right, Senior Brother and Qing Qing have already been there." Yue Zhao glanced at the two and explained.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu were taken aback for a while, thought about it, and thought it was very possible.

"Then what do we do next?" Zhuo Tingqiu also took a sip of tea, frowned, put down the cup and asked Yue Zhao.

"Next to find out the news, we still don't know the identity of those missing." Yue Zhao glanced around and said softly.

Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu looked at each other and nodded.

...

Jun Wu and Nanhua were in a group. After they left the inn, they also found a few people to inquire about the news. Under the heavy money, someone soon revealed the news about the stone tablet and the statue, but the two of them did not go to the city lord’s mansion to look for the two. Things, but went outside the city.

According to what those people said, the two went out of the west gate of Wuyun City and came to the place where the stone tablet and statue were found. The big pit was still there. The two felt it beside the big pit. After half a month, here They could not feel anything anymore, and the two did not leave immediately. Nanhua directly released his divine consciousness and surveyed the surrounding places. Except for some small animals, he found nothing!

"It seems that the focus is on those two things, there is nothing here." Nan Hua frowned and said.

"Are we going to the City Lord's Mansion?" Jun Wu asked.

"No, the big brother will definitely go to the City Lord's Mansion. We just need to go back and wait for the news." Nanhua knows Si Lin very well, knowing that with his style, he must go to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the news at the first time, so he did not choose to go to the City Lord just now. The mansion, but ran out of the city.

"Then let's go back." Jun Wu thought that he could meet Gu Qing quickly and said directly.

Nan Hua glanced at him and nodded.

The two left directly, and a moment after they left, a dark shadow appeared from the pit, wandered around for a while, and then went back into the pit.

...

After noon, Jun Wu and Nan Hua returned to the inn. After a while, Yue Zhao also returned with Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu.

"How is it? Do you have any clues over there?" Yue Zhao asked when he saw Jun Wu and Nan Hua sitting in a chair.

"You should all know about the two things dug out by a big pit outside the city?" Nan Hua looked at Yue Zhao, nodded when he saw Yue Zhao, and then said, "I went outside the city with Jun Wu and found nothing. "

"I asked some people. Except for the pit outside the city, the missing people have nothing in common, as if they were randomly selected." After hearing Nanhua's words, Yue Zhao was not surprised, but talked about it. The news found by his own probe.

"Then who did this on earth?" Nan Hua frowned, feeling a little troubled.
