People in the Book: Binding the Cao Thief System at the Start

Chapter 212

In the middle of the night, there was silence in Canggu City.

There was an eerie air about this silence.

The gates of the city were closed tightly, and there was no one on the street. Even the puppet trains that used to run non-stop late at night stopped at the platform at this time.

Unlike the deserted outside, a certain basement in the city is full of people, and countless strong men are drinking and having fun here.

Most of them wear Zongmen costumes, but they do not belong to any forces in Canggu City, but come from the outside world.

When the fun is at its peak, the sound in the basement is extremely loud, it can be described as deafening.

In the corner, a strong man was a little worried, and said to the person next to him: "If such a loud voice is heard outside and the inspectors hear it, then we will be finished!"

The man seemed indifferent, and said, "This place is located 300 meters underground. I don't believe in evil. No matter how powerful those inspectors are, they can still find this place?"

"That being said..."

The brawny man still looked worried, and said to himself: "Because of special reasons, the ancient city of Cang has imposed a curfew recently,? This is acquiesced by the Shentian Mansion. We ignore the ban of the Shentian Mansion, will it..."

Someone next to him was impatient, waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to leave, you can go by yourself, don't disturb our interest!"

The others also booed and issued an order to evict the strong man.

The strong man's face was gloomy, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to leave.

About three days ago, Canggu City suddenly imposed a curfew, and the ban was only aimed at ordinary people at first.

But for some reason, Shentian Mansion also began to respond to the curfew. The envoys from the three major sects personally came to supervise, and sent seventeen pure Yang realm powerhouses as inspectors to patrol all night and punish monks who violated the curfew.

At first, no one cared about it.

As a practitioner, he is free to come and go, how could he submit to the curfew?

But until yesterday, the leader of the inspectors, that emissary actually took action in person, killing the four elders of the Taoist sect who violated the curfew with lightning force on the spot!

Those who died tragically together with him were several elders from other mansions. They were all masters of the Pure Yang Realm, but they still couldn't escape the fate of death.

In this regard, the elder of Xuanmen came to visit and questioned the inspectors.

But the inspectors didn't see the door behind closed doors, and the envoy defeated the great elder of Xuanmen with a palm from the air, shocking everyone!

Due to the majesty, the practitioners in Canggu City had to submit to the curfew.

For this reason, many forces chose to withdraw from the ancient city of Cang, or went deep into the vast mountain to search, or returned to the sect of the outer palace, but many people still received orders from the sect and chose to stay.

In just two days, dragons and snakes mixed in Canggu City, the previous power distribution was broken, and a new pattern emerged.

The Qingluo Sect where the strong man is located is one of the sects newly stationed in the ancient city of Cang.

They are from Qingzhou Prefecture in the south. They are not considered top sects, but they are quite famous, and there are many strong people in the sect.

"Forget it, it's a big deal to stay here for a while, and I will leave here when the curfew is over."

The strong man comforted himself in this way, and walked towards the exit.

The so-called exit of this basement is actually a water well, which was sealed with a formation technique to completely hide the exit. Unless it is a formation master with extremely high attainments in formation techniques, it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.

This is also the reason why the monks of Qing Luozong are so confident and dare to defy the ban.

However, when the strong man opened the seal and was about to enter the water well and go upstream, he raised his head inadvertently, and almost lost his mind!

Not far away, two pairs of eyes were staring at him coldly.

Because he was underwater, the strong man couldn't roar, but he was a monk of the fifth heaven of the Taoist realm after all, so he quickly reacted and retreated quickly, wanting to retreat into the formation.

It's just that the speed of those two people is faster!

The strong man only saw that one of them disappeared in an instant, and appeared beside him the next moment, stretching out his arm like a ghost.

The man touched the strong man's chest casually, and the strong man immediately turned into petrification, unable to move half a step, only the eyeballs could move up and down.

Only then did he see the appearance of the two men who attacked him.

A man and a woman, the man looks very strange, his eyes are like ghosts, and there is a ray of light in the deep water, which seems to be able to see through people's hearts.

As for that woman, she deliberately hid her appearance, but she couldn't see anything special about it.

The strong man suddenly felt the water around him being separated, and he didn't know whether it was a man or a woman.

At this time, the man said: "Answer our questions carefully, and if we are satisfied, let you leave safely."

The strong man babbled, unable to make a sound.

The man touched his chest again, and the strong man regained his voice ability.

Of course he wouldn't howl, worried that the two of them would silence them now, so he could only answer truthfully: "My name is Zhu Quan, a monk of the Qingluo Sect, 38 years old, unmarried."

"I didn't ask you this!"

The man looked very impatient, Zhu Quan hurriedly apologized, and said again: "I don't know what this big brother wants to know? I must know everything, and I can talk endlessly!"

The man pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you know that the true god of Canggu City descended a few days ago?"

"A few days ago..." Zhu Quan looked bewildered, and suddenly slapped his forehead, and said, "You should be talking about the real ghost figure that occupied most of the sky a month ago, right?"

"One month?"

The man frowned.

He is Lin Yi who came out of the Demon Prison not long ago!

As for the silent woman next to her, it was naturally Xing Mo, because she had acquaintances in Canggu City, so she deliberately concealed her appearance.

"How? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Xing Mo opened his mouth lightly.

Lin Yi still couldn't believe it. He had only been in the Demon Prison for a few days, why has it already been a month for the outside world?

Could it be that, as Xing Mo said, the flow of time in the Demon Prison is different from that of the outside world!

Lin Yi pondered, looked at Zhu Quan again, and used his mental power to directly invade his consciousness, and forcibly probed.

After some investigation, he gained a lot.

The first is what happened this month.

The arrival of the true god at the beginning was indeed a sensation for a long time, and even attracted countless powerful people from Shentian Mansion to come to watch from far away.

The final result was that the Li Mansion in Canggu City was razed to the ground? The true god disappeared immediately, leaving only a divine word: Canggu Longxing is the beginning of ten thousand calamities.

Divine Word is a special method for monks at the True Spirit Realm and above. It is outlined by the True Spirit Law. It can be used for sound transmission, or it can be used as a one-time killing move.

In order to compete for the divine words, many sects fought in the street, and some evil monks took the opportunity to do evil, causing most of the ancient city of Cang to be destroyed, and countless people lost their lives.

It wasn't until the three major sects of Shentianfu came forward to collect the divine words that these chaos were stopped.

Soon after, there was a mandatory curfew, which established a new pattern for the ancient city of Cang.

After the investigation, Lin Yi threw Zhu Quan aside and sighed, "Unfortunately, we didn't find the whereabouts of Mr. Li and Ye Qi."

In Zhu Quan's memory, there is only the picture of Li's mansion being razed to the ground, but later people found nothing in the ruins, and Mr. Li and Ye Qi seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"It sounds like Mr. Li and Ye Qi are very important to you?"

Xing Mo showed a strange smile, glanced casually at Lin Yi, and quickly looked away.

"Just friends." Lin Yi replied casually.

Then he sighed softly: "It seems that we can only go to the Li Mansion ruins to check the situation first, maybe we can find the clues they left behind."

Chapter 213

Li Gu Mansion was once located in the bustling area of ​​Canggu City, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, but after experiencing the coming of the true god, the original site has been razed to the ground, and it has become a forbidden place of death that many people can't avoid.

It was curfew time, and there were no people on the most central street.

Lin Yi and Xing Mo appeared here like ghosts.

Darkness engulfed the sky, and the crows' crows could be heard in the distance, making this place even more desolate.

Lin Yi stepped on a piece of rubble, took out a black stone from it, and recognized that it was a piece of old Li's collection.

Other than that, no other traces were found.

"what?"

He used his mental power to scan, and suddenly found that the secret passage that was originally located underground in the Li Mansion was completely gone, as if it had never existed.

The surrounding formations are extremely strong, compact and thick, without any trace of artificial excavation!

"Maybe it's a teleportation circle, or it's one-way. After the teleportation, it will directly destroy itself."

Xing Mo said so after understanding the ins and outs.

Teleportation circles are actually not a rare thing, many larger sects have them, but the maintenance is astronomical each time, so it is rarely activated.

It would be even more wasteful if such a treasure was made one-way and self-destructed after only one use.

After searching fruitlessly at the Li Mansion ruins, Lin Yi and the others went to the nearest residential area.

He originally wanted to find some people to read the memory, but when he approached the residential area, he suddenly saw a few men in black, armed with sharp swords, and seemed to be patrolling.

"This is probably the legendary inspector."

Lin Yi and Xing Mo atomized to avoid the inspectors, and when they "passed by", they even invaded their consciousness and obtained a lot of useful information.

"Why do I suddenly have a feeling of being seen through?"

One of the inspectors stopped and looked in Lin Yi's direction suspiciously, his eyes flickering.

He couldn't see what was there, but his intuition told him that there were people there, and there were more than one!

"what happened?"

The inspectors on the side also stopped one after another, not complaining about his sudden action, but also following his gaze.

"Maybe I was wrong, let's continue on our way."

The inspector shook his head, signaled others not to think too much, then turned and left.

It wasn't until they were far away that Lin Yi and Lin Yi appeared. Looking at the direction they left, Lin Yi smiled slightly: "This man is very sensitive and has the highest level. He seems to be a small boss."

Xing Mo urged, "What did you find out just now?"
