Chapter 30: Nanli Sect Elite
Yingmingtang was a place set up by the Lord of Tianxuan City to specifically manage the public security of Tianxuan City.
Anyone who can sit on the position of hall master must be very powerful and is also the person the city lord trusts the most.
In Tianxuan City, as long as you violate the rules of Tianxuan City, not to mention an outsider like Chen Li, even the most prestigious person in the city will be taken for investigation.
After entering Yingmingtang, Chen Li was brought into a room.
"Eat it." A light flashed from the ring in Luo Heng's hand, and a pill appeared in his sight.
Chen Li also knew about this pill.
Xuanling Pill.
The name sounds very grand, but he knows very well that if he says something against his will or tells a lie after taking this thing, he will bleed from all seven orifices and his meridians will be shattered, leading to his death.
Of course, there is a way to crack it.
For the Xuanling Pill to work, two people must take it and then use spiritual energy to connect the pill.
If the other party's cultivation is lower than his own, then it is not the other party who is interrogating Chen Li, but Chen Li who is interrogating the other party.
This kind of thing can only be used by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage at most.
Above the foundation building stage, the Xuanling Pill will be of no use at all.
Although Chen Li was dissatisfied, he felt that such a person would not choose to attack him.
So he chose to eat this Xuanling Pill.
Luo Heng did not hesitate. He swallowed another Xuanling Pill on the spot and then used his spiritual energy to connect to Chen Li's body.
"What on earth happened just now?" Luo Heng stared at Chen Li and asked coldly.
Chen Li answered without hesitation: "Just as I said just now, I was originally practicing in the inn, but these two wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to fight with them."
The Xuanling Pill did not have any reaction and Chen Li did not die, which means that Chen Li did not lie at all.
Luo Heng had not expected that all this would actually happen just as this kid said.
"Since this matter has been made clear , let me change the question." Luo Heng coughed twice, as if he was planning to ask something else.
Chen Li was stunned. "I said, as the head of Yingming Hall, I naturally acknowledge that you are doing things impartially, but you asked other questions. This is not a matter of violating your duties, but violating the path of a cultivator."
Luo Heng slapped Chen Li on the head and said seriously, "Of course I'm not asking any questions. I just want to ask about Yu Mu."
"Are you talking about that girl? Then go ahead and ask, although I don't know much about her." Chen Li sat aside and said very bluntly.
"Is she okay now?" After holding it in for a long time, Luo Heng finally asked this question.
Chen Li was stunned for a moment. It seemed like this was the only question he was asking?
"As you can see, she is in good spirits now," Chen Li replied.
Luo Heng seemed to understand. It seemed that Chen Li didn't know about those things at all.
He nodded, but didn't say anything else. Then he suddenly pressed several acupoints on Chen Li's body.
Chen Li only felt nauseous, and with a "wow" sound, he vomited out a black substance.
It was a worm, and it looked long and thin.
This is the material used to make Xuanling Pill, the Xuanling insect.
What surprised Luo Heng was that, because of the survival instinct of the Xuanling insect, it would never die when it came out, except when it was communicating with spiritual energy and was stimulated by spiritual energy, thus exploding and dying.
Once the Xuanling insect dies, its body will explode and release deadly venom, causing the opponent's death.
This Xuanling insect was intact, but it was dead. Its spiritual energy had completely dissipated, as if its spiritual energy had been completely absorbed, leading to its death.
Luo Heng shifted his gaze to Chen Li, "It seems that you have some unknown secrets."
"What? Do you want to take action?" Chen Li frowned, and the spiritual energy around him was already spreading.
Because he was too weak, his spiritual energy dissipated before it could condense.
"Don't worry, I never care about other people's cultivation." Luo Heng waved his hand, then stood up and left.
Not long after, a little girl ran in from outside the door.
It was Lin Yumu.
"Uncle Luo didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Lin Yumu quietly walked to Chen Li's side and asked him.
Chen Li waved his hand. "Don't worry, he didn't make things difficult for me. I'm just curious, why do you know him?"
Lin Yumu was a little surprised, "Don't you know what Uncle Luo did before?"
Chen Li shook his head, "Why should I know this?"
Lin Yumu also began to explain to Chen Li about Luo Heng.
It turned out that he was once a disciple of Nanli Sect.
The difference between him and Chen Li is that he is an inner sect disciple, and an elite among them.
She had known Luo Heng since she was four years old, and Jiang Yunya would ask Lin Yumu to deliver pills to Luo Heng from time to time.
After a few visits, they naturally became familiar with each other.
One day, Luo Heng encountered foreign enemies and came back with injuries all over his body. If Jiang Yunya had not tried his best to heal Luo Heng, he would probably have died long ago.
After curing Luo Heng, he made a request to the sect and planned to leave the sect.
The sect agreed and let Luo Heng leave.
From that time on, Lin Yumu never saw Luo Heng again.
"Although we have been exchanging letters, I had no idea that Uncle Luo would be in Tianxuan City. It really surprised me. Hey, are you listening to me?" Lin Yumu was originally happily telling Chen Li this, but found that he was actually in a daze there. Lin Yumu was so angry that she slapped Chen Li again.
Chen Li waved his hand, "I'm listening."
He stroked his chin. Although it was a good thing that they met each other after such a long time, he felt that it was a little weird.
"Actually, I was thinking about something just now. You should know how difficult it is for Nanli Zong to leave the sect, but why was he able to leave?" Chen Li looked at Lin Yumu and said so.
Lin Yumu was a little confused.
For the outer sect disciples and those doing menial tasks, it is almost a very simple thing to leave Nanli Sect.
Their cultivation level is low, so they won't suffer any loss if they leave the sect.
The inner sect is different, they are all disciples that the sect has poured its heart and soul into.
Luo Heng is an elite of the inner sect. Even if he wants to leave, the elders of the inner sect and even the sect master will not agree .
But why did he just let it go?
"That's because I abolished the Nanli Sect's martial arts, and at the same time promised them that if the Nanli Sect is in trouble, I will definitely return." At this time, a voice reached their ears, causing Chen Li and Lin Yumu to turn their heads and look over immediately.
Chen Li finally understood. It seemed that this person had quite a story.
"What kind of ability does that city lord have that is worth you giving up your skills and leaving Nanli Sect? Does it have anything to do with the fact that you were seriously injured when you returned?" Chen Li looked at Luo Heng in front of him. After all, he was his former senior brother.
When the other party left the sect, Chen Li probably hadn't even joined yet.
"You don't need to ask in-depth questions about some things. However, entering Tianyun Mountain this time may be very troublesome." Luo Heng sat down and said to them.
Chen Li touched his chin and asked, "Why?"
"Because someone died in Tianyun Mountain." Luo Heng took a sip of tea and said so.
"Many people died in Tianyun Mountain, so why should we care so much about it?" Chen Li asked.
Luo Heng replied, "Of course, it's not that simple. The person who died was a casual cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. There were sword marks on his neck, and all the valuables on his body were stolen."
"If it's just that, it's at most murder and robbery." Chen Li frowned. He often did such things as murder and robbery, and this was not enough reason to cause trouble.
"Yumu, go out first. I want to talk to him alone." Luo Heng looked at Lin Yumu and said gently.
Lin Yumu nodded and left obediently.
It was not until Lin Yumu left the room that Luo Heng spoke up and said, "In fact, it wasn't just one cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building who died, but many, including quite a few cultivators in the early stage of foundation building."
"You mean to say that someone is specifically targeting the Foundation Establishment cultivators?" Chen Li asked.
Luo Heng nodded, "That's right. Moreover, the opponent 's method is not to kill the cultivators with one sword, but to cut off their limbs, take out their internal organs, and hang the whole person on the tree like a skeleton for the monster to devour."
Chen Li finally understood why Luo Heng had been hesitating while saying these things just now.
If Lin Yumu heard it, she might not be in such a good situation.
"Are you planning on asking me not to take Lin Yumu to Tianyun Mountain for the time being?" Chen Li asked.
Luo Heng replied: "That kind of scene makes even me feel sick. If Yu Mu is allowed to go, I'm afraid she will be traumatized."
"I'm afraid that won't work. She came here this time with determination to go there, and as a cultivator, she will encounter this kind of scene sooner or later." Chen Li said.
Luo Heng sighed. To be honest, he really didn't want Lin Yumu to see that scene.
But just as Chen Li said, Lin Yumu would encounter this kind of situation sooner or later.
Because he had official business, he was unable to accompany Lin Yumu to Tianyun Mountain.
So now there is only one other way.
