Chapter 164：

"Wait and see what other people have found out." Although Yue Zhao frowned, she was much more patient than Nanhua, tapping her fingers on the table, and said.

Apart from this, they had no other way, but nodded helplessly.

Half an hour later, Qi Yu and Qin An came back from outside, and they were a little surprised to see Yue Zhao.

"Yue Zhao, what news have you inquired about?" Qi Yu and Yue Zhao have been apprentices at the same time, they are relatively familiar, and they speak a lot more casually.

Yue Zhao briefly talked about the news they found, and then asked Qi Yu, "How about you two? What's the gain?"

"We inquired about the same as you. In addition, we also visited the people whose family members were missing. They said that they didn't know what happened. They only knew that they were okay the night before, and they disappeared the next morning. They didn't hear anything. It was similar to the situation encountered by Junior Sister Gu and the others. It should be the same person or monster." Qi Yu and Qin An looked at each other and shared the news they found with others.

"It's almost the same as I guessed. Thanks for your hard work, you should take a break and call you when others come back." Yue Zhao guessed that the two of them should have spent a lot of effort, and said in a kind tone.

Qi Yu and Qin An were not polite, and went straight back to their room.

About two quarters later, Cheng Hao and Qu Ye returned. The information they inquired about was similar to that of Yue Zhao and the others. After the ditch passed, Yue Zhao asked them to go to rest.

After another quarter of an hour, Lin Xian'er and Zhao Yan also returned. They did not inquire about other news, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Gu Qing and Si Lin were the last to return. Fortunately, when the two returned, it was still the afternoon and the sky was still bright, and they still had enough time to discuss.

"Let's talk about the news you found first." Si Lin took out a bottle of Linglu for himself and Gu Qing, handed it to Gu Qing, turned his head and said to Yue Zhao.

"We found out that a large pit appeared outside the west gate of Wuyun City half a month ago. A stone tablet and a statue were found inside. The city owner put them away. After that, people disappeared in the city. Nanhua and Jun Wu visited the big pit and found nothing. Qi Yu and Qin An also went to the homes of the missing people. Those people disappeared silently. It should have something to do with opening the door at night, and nothing else. "Yue Zhao briefly summarized the information they collected, and said to Si Lin, "What about you?"

Si Lin and Gu lightly glanced at each other, and Gu gently spoke.

"My big brother and I went to the city lord’s mansion and found that the people in the city lord’s mansion were dead. They didn’t seem to be alive anymore, but there was no lifelessness on the city lord. It seemed strange. In addition, we saw the stone tablet And that statue. The stone tablet records the identity of the statue. The statue is a monster of the demons called Soul Eater. It knocks on the door in the middle of the night. If someone opens the door, it will be dizzy and then be stunned. Swallow the soul.

In addition, we also found that those people who were missing from Zongmen disappeared together. We found the inn where they had stayed before, and asked the boss and Xiaoer. They said that they saw them the night before and went to call someone the next morning. When I found out that they were gone.

We guess that this matter should have something to do with the Soul Eater, and there is probably an elder-level demons behind it. "Gu Qingming summed up her and Si Lin's findings.

After listening to her, the room quieted down instantly.

It is true that the amount of information she said is a bit large, not only the Soul Eater, but also the elder-level demons she finally speculated, which surprised them!

It is not difficult for them to deal with the demons at the level of demon generals, but the elders are different. Some powerful elders have surpassed the ninth step and entered the half-step immortal step. They are the same as Wen Guiyun. Level!

If it is a demons like that who appears here, then don't even one of them want to escape!

"If it's really an elder-level Demon Race, with his cultivation base, it should be very easy to arrest people. Why do you have to spend so much time?" Lin Xian'er is the most unpleasant to look after, when she is picking thorns. Human potential is always endless, she found a question in an instant and asked.

"I have discussed this issue with Gentle. I guess it might have been injured. After all, the barrier of the second immortal realm is very strong. With its cultivation base, it is very difficult to enter the second immortal realm. It is normal to be injured. Si Lin glanced at Lin Xian'er and explained gently for Gu.

This guess is also reasonable. After all, an elder-level demon wants to pass through the barrier of the second immortal world and enter the second immortal world from the demon world. It is much more difficult than a demon soldier breaking in. The heavenly way of the second immortal world is not like the previous Xuantian. The Heavenly Dao in the mainland is so weak!

Lin Xian'er didn't expect Si Lin to speak softly for Gu. Everyone who knew Si Lin knew that he spoke few words, usually using the fewest words to explain. Now for Gu Qing, he can speak such a large string of words, which shows that He valued Gu Qingqing very seriously.

The heart-stucked Lin Xian'er simply turned her head, closed her mouth, and stopped looking at Si Lin and Gu Qing.

"Now the Demon Race is in the dark, we are in the Ming Dynasty, today we have been searching in Wuyun City for a long time, but we haven't found any trace of the Demon Race, what should we do next?" Qi Yu asked.

"Wait." Si Lin glanced at the sky outside and said.

"What are you waiting for?" Qi Yu also glanced outside and asked unclearly.

"Wait for the evening." Yue Zhao took Qi Yu's words and explained for Si Lin, "The Soul Eater came to Gentle and Yun Ran last night. It didn't succeed. It is very likely to come again tonight. Xiao Er said before. We don’t want to go out at night, so we can go out at night to see what happens.”

"Also, the city lord of Wuyun City is a bit weird and needs someone to watch him." Si Lin added.

"The cultivation base of Wuyun City City Lord should only be the eighth level, who are we going to?" Qi Yu looked at the others and asked.

"Nan Hua," Si Lin's gaze fell on Nan Hua, "You and Jun are not going, Lou Chengzhu should not be easy, be careful."

Nanhua and Jun ignored each other and nodded, "We will."

"Gently, Yue Zhao and I will guard your door at night. If the Soul Eater comes again, you can find a way to react accordingly." Si Lin turned his head again and said to Gu gently.

"I know, big brother, I'll be careful." Gu nodded lightly, eager to try.

"I and Yue Zhao are in the corridor. If the Soul Eater appears, we will inform everyone that everyone should not rest at night. If it is one of you who knocks on the door, you should act accordingly and don't let yourself be injured." Si Lin looked at it. Look at other people, and ordered again.

"Yes." The others understood the danger this time, and nodded solemnly.

After that, everyone ate something casually and returned to their room early to recharge their energy. After all, there might be a tough battle to be fought tonight!

Soon, as night fell, the lights of Fog Cloud City dimmed little by little, until all fell into darkness.

...

Jun Wu and Nanhua had already set off before dark and went to the city lord's mansion. There were no particularly powerful people in the city lord's mansion. They easily found the place where the lord of the castle lived, concealed their figure, and followed the lord of the lord.

There were a lot of people in the City Lord’s Mansion, but it was very quiet, and as the sky turned dark, there were fewer active people in the City Lord’s Mansion. When the entire City Lord Mansion fell into darkness, everyone including the Lou City Lord returned to their room.

Unlike the others, the lamp was lit in Lou Chengzhu’s room!

Jun Wu and Nan Hua, who were hidden, looked at each other in the dark, both a little surprised.

Then, the two saw that Lou Chengzhu’s body changed under their gaze, turning into a strong middle-aged man. The man looked about forty years old, his appearance was medium to upper, and his skin was blue. , There are dark red lines on his face, two black horns grow on his head, his upper body is naked, and his body is covered with dark red patterns.

Those patterns are a bit mysterious, and people will feel dizzy after seeing them for a long time.

He turned around, and Nan Hua and Jun Wu saw a wound about 20 centimeters wide behind him. The skin was open and fleshy, and even white bones could be seen!

He took out a jade bottle and drank the liquid inside. Even though there was a distance between them, Nanhua and Jun Wu still felt a strong devilish energy, but they were compressed within a certain range.

The wound behind him suddenly shrank a little inside, and then, he came to the bathtub that had been prepared a long time ago, took off his pants outside, and sat inside the bathtub.

The bath tub was not water, but some medicinal materials mixed with blood, which had a pungent smell, but the man seemed to be unable to feel it. He sat in the bath tub, closed his eyes, and seemed to be practicing.

Nan Hua and Jun Wu saw the blood in the tub flying towards the place where his wound was, and it was absorbed by his wound. The condition of the wound was better, but soon, it was destroyed by something again, and it was just healed. The place broke open again, bleeding out, his face shook, and a trace of pain appeared on his face.

However, he did not stop, but continued to practice, allowing the blood in the tub to fly to his wound little by little, and then absorbed by him. The wound healed and collapsed again, looking very painful!

As time went on, the blood in the tub became less and less, and the wound on his back only repaired about one centimeter!

When the blood is completely absorbed and the inside of the tub becomes dry, his wound has only recovered about one centimeter, and the process of healing and collapse has been repeated in other places, as if a strong energy is blocking his wound. heal!

He opened his eyes and felt it for a while, a chill flashed under his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with the speed of wound healing.
