The other six people all looked in the direction Zhang Lingjun and Yuyan were looking.

The yard covered a large area, and the walls were at least three meters high. It was indeed a bit out of place in such a town. Xuanyuan Changqing jumped up, stood on the top of the wall, and looked inside.

This seems to be a temple for sacrifices. Although the yard is large, it is very empty inside. There are only some stone fire platforms, sacrificial livestock and so on. There is a stone pagoda in the center, which is really hard to find from outside the courtyard wall.

There was some light at the bottom door of the pagoda, and it looked like someone was living there.

Zhang Lingjun whispered, "Someone is talking in that stone tower, but I can't understand."

The tribes here are of various ethnicities and languages.

Swift nodded as well, "My children just sensed the danger and were scared."

Chen Qingzhou had a sensitive nose and his nose kept wrinkling as if he smelled something.

Qianyu noticed that he was behaving strangely, "Did you find anything?"

Chen Qingzhou sniffed a few more times and said, "It smells like alcohol."

Xuanyuan Changqing analyzed: "Sacrifices are usually not held in the middle of the night, and there is also a smell of alcohol, which is indeed wrong."

Qianyu was anxious to kill the monster and gain enlightenment. "You'll know after you go in and take a look. Let me make it clear first, if there is a monster, leave it to me!"

Chen Qingzhou smiled bitterly and shook his head.

【Enter the system.】

"Check the radar."

[No monster, still 759 points. ]

"Go back."

【Exit the system.】

"Don't worry," Chen Qingzhou said to Qianyu, "There are no monsters in there, but there may be danger."

Qianyu asked curiously, "How did you know?" Then he took off the demon-detecting stone tied around his waist and held it in front of Chen Qingzhou, "You can also detect demons?"

When Chen Qingzhou saw the demon-detecting stone, he recalled the uncomfortable experience before and gently pushed it away. "That's about it. Don't forget that I'm an expert in fortune-telling."

Thinking of his legendary technique of saving three lives in one day, Qianyu had to believe it even if she didn't want to. "Okay, then what do you say? I'll follow you."

The beauty approached him, and Chen Qingzhou felt proud. "We are here to look for clues. Since we have found something suspicious, we must go in and take a look."

Zhang Lingjun advised: "Just now, the head of Cui San told us not to act on our own. We are not familiar with this place. Why don't we go back and discuss it with everyone?"

Xuanyuan Changqing thought about the task assigned to him by the sect leader. In addition to investigating the monster, he also had to find another genius in fortune-telling. If he stayed with other Xuanmen all the time, it would be inconvenient for him to take action.

Chen Qingzhou observed Xuanyuan Changqing's words and guessed what he was thinking, so he quickly chimed in, "Elder Zhang, we have all seen Ximen Yaoren's strength, and the deputy fortress lord is no more than that. We have eight people given by God, so what are we afraid of?"

When Qianyu heard Chen Qingzhou's request to fight, she thought there was a chance for enlightenment, so she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and go!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the high-walled courtyard.

Qianyu grew up in the Tianci sect and was the sect's daughter. Everyone in the sect doted on her. Xuanyuan Changqing took especially good care of this "little senior sister" and hurried to catch up.

"Wait!"

Just as everyone was about to go in, the voice of Cui San, the head of the Cui family, was heard, but behind him were only four young disciples of the Cui family, and Cui Xuechu and Cui Xiaokun, the brother and sister, were nowhere to be seen.

Xuanyuan Changqing cupped his hands and asked, "What's wrong, Third Master? Where are Xuechu and Xiaokun?"

Cui Jiye looked a little anxious, "Those two children insisted on being separated from me, and I couldn't find them in the blink of an eye."

Xuanyuan Changqing comforted him: "Don't worry, they have grown up."

Cui Jiye nodded and looked around the stone courtyard again, "You want to go in here?"

Chen Qingzhou saw that he looked a little strange, "What's wrong? Where is this place?"

Cui Jiye said, "There is a stone tower in this yard, called Linggu Tower, where residents worship the Dragon God. It is only open one day in the middle of each month, and is usually closed. Did you find anything suspicious?"

Seeing that he understood quite well, Chen Qingzhou asked, "A place for sacrifice? Can we drink?"

Cui Jiye shook his head. "Although the people of Beiting are tough and love to drink and eat meat, sacrifice is their most solemn and serious event, and drinking is not allowed. Why are you asking this?"

"That's right!" Chen Qingzhou waved his hand, "I smell alcohol in this yard."

Cui Jiye walked closer, sniffed hard, and shook his head, "Why can't I smell it?"

Yuyan said calmly: "My children smelled it too."

Cui Jiye analyzed: "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any alcohol in this Linggu Pagoda, and in the middle of the night..."

The Wan brothers said anxiously, "We haven't fought in a day. Our hands are itching. Let's go in!"

"no!"

Cui Jiye stretched out his hand to stop the two of them.

Seeing Cui Jiye's embarrassment, Chen Qingzhou asked, "Anything else you're worried about?"

Cui Jiye explained, "You all don't know that Linggu Pagoda is the most important place in the city. The residents are extremely pious to the Dragon God. Whether or not one can enter this courtyard depends only on what Elder Xuan says."

Everyone asked in unison: "Who is Elder Xuan?"

Cui Jiye continued, "Elder Xuan is the chief priest of Linggu Pagoda. It is said that he came to Guta City more than 20 years ago. Because he is proficient in sacrificial matters, he has led the residents in sacrificial offerings over time. He has disabled legs and has a nickname you may have heard of, called Tiankui Shensuan."

Chen Qingzhou asked curiously: "Tiankui Divine Calculation? What does this mean?"

Before Cui Jiye opened his mouth, Zhang Lingjun said, "It is rumored that there is a divine fortune teller in Beiting who can predict the future, but he was born with a defective patella and cannot move. Could it be this Elder Xuan?"

Cui Jiye nodded and said, "Yes, this Elder Xuan doesn't know martial arts, but he is extremely capable and can plan everything. Even our leader highly respects him."

Chen Qingzhou suddenly realized, "I see. Tiankui Shensuan has connections with many important figures. His network of contacts is probably far beyond our imagination. The Third Master is worried that we will offend him if we rush in."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They never thought that such a big shot was hidden in this inconspicuous little town of Beiting.

Cui Jiye nodded, "That's right. Guta City has long been out of the influence of our Xuanshui Sect. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. It is indeed inappropriate to rush in."

Xuanyuan Changqing said: "But we have a mission. According to what you said, people from Ximenbao or Qiansui League are likely hiding in this safe place. Elder Xuan only comes one day a month, so he may not know the normal situation."

Cui Jiye hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this, I will go find Elder Xuan first. Maybe he knows something. If he doesn't know, I will report the situation and ask him to allow us to enter Linggu Tower to investigate."

Chen Qingzhou asked: "Where is he?"

Cui Jiye pointed outside the city and said, "Elder Xuan only comes back for sacrifices. He usually lives on a cliff on a high mountain outside the city."

Chen Qingzhou wondered in his heart, "Is the cripple still living on the cliff?"

Zhang Lingjun said, "There is no time to lose, Third Master, I will go with you."

Cui Jiye thought it would be good to have someone to look after him, so he nodded. The two were about to leave when Chen Qingzhou shouted, "Wait! I'm going too. I want to see how this guy with a broken patella climbed up the cliff!"

Cui Jiye knew that Chen Qingzhou had gained the trust of the leader and had to treat him as a distinguished guest. "Okay, the three of us will go together. The others will have to wait here. Remember, you must not enter the Linggu Pagoda before we come back."

Everyone agreed.

The three of them did not dare to delay, and they all took out their magic weapons and rushed to the nameless cliff ten miles east of the city.
