he woods last night wasn't prepared by them, it should be Ripple Heroine's horse. She didn't tie up her horse but let it graze in the woods, and Hou Yong just happened to see it and took it as his mou...After listening to Zhou An's account, the few of them exchanged glances, and then Lian Yi spoke:

"Lord Zhou, do you know if there was anything unusual about these people before they disappeared"

"I guess not."

Zhou An shook his head.

"How did you arrange the two teams sent by the Wu Yun Sect before"

I put them up at the lord's mansion. After resting for a night, they went all over town looking for clues. The next day, after going out, no one returned to the lord's mansion.

"At the time, I thought they had found a lead but hadn't gotten a chance to inform me. So I just waited here. But after waiting and waiting, there was no news at all. Finally, I contacted the sect again."

Zhou An said somewhat uneasily.

Then what about the second squad

The ripples continued to ask.

After they arrived, they specifically went to check the inn where the first squad was resting, but found nothing. They then started searching the entire city. Three days later, they disappeared as well.

Zhou An said that he couldn't go on because there were no useful leads.

Joe had no more questions, so he let Zhou An lead them to check the temporary lodgings of the first two squads.

Five people searched with keen senses, not even missing a single gap in the turning. Sadly, there were still no clues.

"We can't see anything right now, so we'll take a day to rest and head into town tomorrow."

Joe spoke directly.

I'll accompany you all.

Zhou An immediately said.

"No, if someone were truly targeting the disciples of the Five Aggregates Sect, and you were implicated by us, who would go to the sect for help"

Qiao Hao declined the other party's proposal.

But I really can't trust it.

Zhou An immediately explained.

It's alright.

Joe waved his hand.

The ripples suddenly spoke:

"Lord Zhou, don't cultivators who didn't stay in Bianxia City disappear"

Zhou An frowned and thought for a moment before saying:

“A fellow cultivator reminded me, it seems to be true after all. It's just that the cultivators who passed through Bianxia City seem fine.”

"Then we'll stay for two days and see."

Sun Lanlan immediately said.

I have arranged separate accommodations for several of you.

Zhou An personally rearranged the accommodations for several people and sent them spirit meals and spirit tea before leaving.

The things sent by the lord's mansion, no one touched. They only looked around once before placing an isolating formation, then discussed their next plan.

Zhou An didn't know how to answer the three questions, it was obvious he didn't want to say anything. How could we find a breakthrough

Sun Lanlan leaned her head and said.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get its cubs Let's go to another city."

Ripple said as she petted the cat.

How do I get in

Zhao Mingyu asked directly.

"Wait."

"Wait"

"Yes, we should have already become the targets of those behind the scenes. We just need to stay quiet and wait."

Ripple said calmly.

"Once we enter the city, we must assemble as quickly as possible. We'll discuss finding people after we're reunited."

Joe immediately said.

"Understood."

After the discussion was over, the five of them returned to their rooms and sat in meditation, awaiting their own "disappearance".

That night, as the moon was obscured by clouds, a red light burst from the City Lord's Mansion. It lasted only three breaths before disappearing, taking with it the five members of the Ripple clan.

Ripples felt waves of magical fluctuations, and then her vision blurred. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself still in the guest room, but it was a different guest room.

"Tornado, are you awake Let's go outside and take a look."

The ripples summoned a whirlwind from the Spirit Beast Ring and asked.

"Woke up!"

Before the whirlwind, Paw stretched and yawned on all fours, then jumped onto Ripple's shoulders.

Ripples pushed open the door, and everything around was silent, as if everyone had fallen asleep. She went to knock on the door of the next-door guest room, but there was no response.

Didn't they come

Liàn Yī gurgled to herself, unaware that at this moment the place where Jiāo Hào and his four companions appeared was the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. They encountered fellow cultivators who had also been imprisoned, including a disciple they had previously taken on a mission with.

"How long have you been kept here"

qiao hao frowned and asked.

"The second day after we entered the city lord's mansion, we were locked up here."

“Our squad is on the third day.”

Zhang Hong said weakly.

"Was it the City Lord's Mansion behind this"

They are the ones, they are complete thieves crying wolf!

Another female cultivator said angrily.

"Senior Brother Qiao, my spiritual power is imprisoned."

Sun Lanlan said in a frightened tone.

Joe Hao, after hearing this, tried to move the spiritual energy within his body, but he couldn't. He also couldn't open his storage ring. He turned to the other two people and asked:

"Zhao, Xiao, how about you two"

"Same."

Both of their eyes held a sense of unwillingness.

Where is Sister Eileen

Sun Lanlan looked around and suddenly discovered that someone was missing, Qiao Hao also found that Lianyi was missing.

Zhang Hong's face was extremely ugly at this time, and he directly asked:

What level of cultivation is Sister Eileen at

"The later stage of foundation construction."

"Oh no!"

What's wrong

He may be favored by the city lord and treated as a furnace, absorbing all his cultivation.

"What"

Four people said in unison.

Liàn Yī, who was now being watched by four people, swirled like a whirlwind through the City Lord's Mansion. She had already found the entrance to the underground prison and was about to go down when she was stopped by a male cultivator.

"Ma'am, this is not the place for you."

Ripples turned to face the other person, frowning.

"Lord Zhou You're not Zhou An!"

"Hee hee, Fairy Eileen is indeed sharp. Zhou An is my older brother, and I am Zhou Quan."

The male cultivator had the exact same face and physique as Zhou City Lord, but he was more arrogant, with a sense of control over his life and death. It was this feeling that made Lian'er see through their differences at a glance.

"So Zhou City Lord is really a thief crying 'thief' then, are you bringing me here to do what"

Ripples asked.

"Of course I'd look upon you favorably, allow you to be my concubine, as long as you help me break through to the Golden Core stage, I'll give you a name."

Zhou Quan said in a tone of charity, as if everything was under his control.

"Tsk tsk, you don't even look in the mirror With your face, it makes me want to regress my cultivation. You think I'd be your concubine just because you ask You better have some skills first."

After Ripple finished speaking, he rushed towards the opponent's face and punched.

She knew her cultivation was sealed, unable to mobilize her spiritual energy, but so what Her divine power was bound to her soul.

Zhou Quan never expected this female cultivator to dare resist. The disdain in his eyes intensified, and he immediately raised his hand, forming a defensive shield in front of him, wanting to see the other party make a fool of themselves. However, the next moment, his smugness vanished.

Because the ripple's fist shattered his earthen shield with ease, and slammed into his face, he was sent flying backwards. As he spun to regain his balance, a transparent thread wrapped around his neck, and in the next instant, he was beheaded.

Strike while the iron is hot. That's Lian Yi's motto when facing her enemies. When her opponent is at their weakest, she launches herself forward, striking simultaneously with both fists: one aimed at the heart, and the other at the dantian.forgetting there was still a pregnant woman. Her movements were a bit loud, but she also used this opportunity to remind everyone that the journey ahead was fraught with danger and they had to stay vi...
