There is a wasteland close to dense forest more than ten miles away from Gunan City.
At a glance, there was almost no grass growing on the wasteland except for the bare and small stones.
Liu Ming turned his hands back, widened his eyes and looked at a ruined temple in front of him, his pupils shrinking slightly.
Since he came out of the green bamboo restaurant in that city, he followed the grandfather and grandson all the way out of the city.
But just after Liu Ming followed these two people into this wasteland, the old and the young suddenly disappeared.
Liu Ming frowned slightly, his mental strength was released, and he looked around.
However, with his powerful mental power now, there is no sign of discovery.
But at this moment, Liu Ming only felt a blur in front of him. A black shadow shot out from the dense forest beside the ruined temple. The black shadow was extremely fast, and within a short time, he had already arrived in front of him with a "bang" impact. On him.
Under this unexpected blow, there was an extremely violent force pouring out, Liu Ming couldn't prevent him, even though his body was tyrannical, his body trembled back several steps.
However, this collision did not cause any harm to Liu Ming, and after Fa Jue urged him, his body suddenly sank and stopped.
Only at the location where it was hit just now, a pit was vaguely left.
Liu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze swept over the black shadow in the center of the dirt pit.
The black shadow turned out to be a giant python, its whole body showing a dark color, as if it was pieced together in pieces, and the scales the size of the bowl's mouth shone with a cold and cold light. However, there is no life in his eyes, it is obviously a puppet beast.
At this moment, an old man in yellow robe and a girl in yellow shirt walked out slowly from the ruined temple.
It is the pair of grandparents and grandchildren encountered in the restaurant!
The girl in the yellow shirt had bad eyes and stared at Liu Ming.
Although the yellow-robed old man had a calm face, his heart sank slightly, a little surprised that the gray-robed young man in front of him was able to stop his sneak attack by this puppet beast.
However, the young man seemed too young on the surface, and the old man didn't seem too worried about it.
The opponent's cultivation base is limited, even if it seems that the physical body is stronger, he should be able to deal with it.
Seeing the formation of the old man and the young girl, Liu Ming's expressionless face only turned around with one hand, and a sound of gas explosion suddenly came from his five fingers.
Liu Ming knew it was useless to explain at this time.
Not to mention that the two are also foreigners. After being tracked by themselves, they must first have hostility in their hearts, and the missing person in their mouth is obviously related to them, and they will definitely not speak any truth to themselves using ordinary methods.
At this time, he can only use some thunder methods to be most effective.
On the other side, the yellow-robed old man also didn't want to talk nonsense with Liu Ming, but saw his right hand tactics pinched up, and then pointed at the giant python puppet beast.
The giant python puppet beast suddenly made a "whoop" sound from its sky, and its giant tail slammed down on the ground, its body blurred, and it turned into a black shadow and charged towards Liu Ming again. At the same time, in the space where the python body passed, a low muffled sound was heard immediately.
"Boom"!
Liu Ming pinched the tactics with one hand, and suddenly there was a thick black gas tumbling out of his body. After the black gas whirled around his head, it quickly condensed into a black dragon phantom, just hovering in the nearby air, suddenly Rushing down, finally wrapped around Liu Ming's right arm.
It was the first level of the Dragon Tiger Underworld Prison Skill Liu Ming practiced!
Liu Ming didn't hesitate. With a move of his arm, he slammed out the giant python puppet beast that was leaping quickly.
A loud noise!
Afterwards, the black light in front of Liu Ming was flourishing, and a stronger wave spread out in the space, and the giant python flew out with a tremor and fell heavily in front of the old man.
When the giant python raised his head again with difficulty, he saw the scales on the surface where Liu Ming's fist fell.
This scene caused the old man's eyes to shrink slightly, and his eyelids moved imperceptibly.
You know, his giant python puppet is not only extremely powerful, but its body surface is made of a rare metal that is unusually hard, and its hardness has long surpassed ordinary fine iron.
But he was hurt by this gray-robed youth so lightly.
The only explanation can only be that the strength of the young man in front of him is really unfathomable, and he is not invincible at all.
"This fellow Taoist, you and I have no grievances and no grudges, please stop first." The old man in Huangpao waved his hand to Liu Ming suddenly, motioning him to stop. After all, if Liu Ming punches the giant python puppet again, the puppet will be scrapped.
And this puppet giant python has the strength of the initial stage of Condensation, even if he does not have a few of them, it is naturally reluctant to be ruined so easily.
When Liu Ming heard the words, he smiled, and after he retracted his fist, the black energy on his body was also submerged in his body.
The old man in the yellow robe also gave a quick pinch, the giant python puppet beast instantly turned into a black glow and fell into the old man's hand. After a blur of light, it turned into a black ball.
"Dare to ask this fellow Daoist why he followed us all the way to this point?" The old man stared at Liu Ming and asked slowly, but his tone was somewhat respectful, and quietly winked at the girl in the yellow shirt next to him. Let him retreat back some distance, so as not to be affected by the confrontation with the person in front of him.
The girl in the yellow shirt immediately withdrew a few steps away without saying a word.
"Please don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I accidentally heard you talked about the disappearance of familiar people in Gu Nancheng from the restaurant. It just so happened that someone I knew disappeared here, and the time is very close to what you said. It's close, so I want to know the details from the two of you, I don't know if I can tell you about one or two." Liu Ming smiled at the old man and said noncommittal.
Hearing this, the old man in Huangpao changed his face slightly, and couldn't help but glance back at the girl.
After hearing this, the girl in the yellow shirt trembled in her heart, only to realize that what she had said in the restaurant had really fallen in the ears of the caring person, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to say anything at all.
At this time, the old man coughed slightly and replied:
"Since fellow Daoists have followed this up, it must be inevitable. If you don't talk about it, it won't work. Anyway, there is no need to keep this matter secret to outsiders. Daoists want to ask, but the old man can tell one by one."
"Very good. You don't have to worry about anything. I will leave after I ask the matter. Fellow Daoist, please tell me in detail about the missing person." Liu Ming saw this old man in yellow robe look so interesting. , Asked slowly with a look.
After the old man coughed lightly, he could only tell the story:
"Zai Xia and granddaughter are actually practitioners from a small sect in the southern part of Bieyuan Island. The sect is also well-known in the south. This sect makes a living by refining and selling puppet beasts. Only nine months ago, in Xia Quanzi and others Several people were sent to the city of Gu Nan by the sect, intending to purchase some attribute crystals from that crystal valley to be used as puppets. These resources are urgently needed in this sect, and the dog is also a cautious person. He stayed in Zhongduo. Moreover, similar to the matter of buying and selling resources, Inuzi is not a novice, and the trip will definitely not exceed three months. But he did not expect that this time he had not returned for half a year, and there was no news before. Old man. Then I had to personally come to this Gunan City to investigate one or two."
"Oh, have you ever found out what? I heard the daoists in the restaurant before, but planned to leave Gu Nancheng." Liu Ming asked faintly.
"The old man found the inn where the dog was staying, only knowing that he had never come out after entering the inn. With the initial cultivation of the dog's liquid gel, he disappeared so silently, so the old man felt that the matter was strange. , Suspected to have something to do with some big forces, and may even involve the strong in the Crystallization Period. And how can such strong be provoke by the old man's sect. Right now, he can only go back to the clan with his granddaughter before discussing the long-term plan. "The old man replied rather helplessly.
"So that's the case. But from the meaning of the Taoist friends, the time to come to Gu Nancheng is not short. Has there been any other clues to discover?" Liu Ming asked after hearing it for a while after thinking about it.
"In fact, during the time the old man was in the city, I learned from some old knowledge that some of them had also disappeared in this Gunan City, and most of them were people who came here to purchase. And the missing people were all middle-aged monks in the liquid phase. Because of this, the old man decided to leave the city immediately." The old man replied after a moment of indulgence, his expression a little sad at the same time.
Such frequent disappearance of middle-aged monks in the condensate period, and they are all when they are purchasing in the southern city of this valley!
After Liu Ming listened, his eyes flashed slightly, and he had a vague guess in his heart.
But he didn't show the slightest color on his face, he just nodded to the old man and said:
"So and so, thank you fellow Daoist."
The next moment, I saw a gray shadow flashing, and Liu Ming actually straddled a few feet away. A vaguely appeared behind the girl in the yellow shirt, and with a "pop", he patted her shoulder. After shaking his body again, he turned into a few afterimages and returned to the original place.
During the whole process, even though the old man roared and urged the giant python puppet to stop it on the way again, he only rushed to the afterimage of Liu Ming's transformation, and did not touch Liu Ming's body at all.
"What on earth did you move on Ling'er?" The old man raised his hand, and after throwing a white ball, turning into a white giant eagle puppet, Chong Liuming said viciously.
The girl in the yellow shirt also had a "swish" face, and she became abnormally pale, but when she checked her body again, she didn't find any abnormalities at all.
"Friends do not have to panic! Liu just left a mark on this little girl. If you find any falsehood what the fellow Daoist said, so I can find a fellow Daoist again to confirm one or two. Don’t worry, the fellow Daoist, this mark will be three days later. It will dissipate on its own, or fellow Taoist now remembers what needs to be added." Liu Ming said calmly with his hands folded back.
"I have told you everything that the old man knows." The old man clenched fists with both hands and stared at Liu Ming angrily.
"If it's like this, naturally it's the best. But if you think of anything, you can come to Gu Nan City Bibo Inn."
After Liu Ming said, pinching the tactics with one hand, a black cloud rose under one step, and shot straight to the direction of Gu Nancheng.
After Liu Ming left, the yellow-robed old man clenched his fists and slowly loosened it.
"Grandfather, what should we do now?" The girl in the yellow shirt looked up at the direction of Liu Ming's departure, with a look of panic.
"Unexpectedly, this line has not yet inquired about the news of your father and others. But it has provoked such a powerful guy. You and I will go to the nearby Black Wind stronghold for three days and see the situation before talking. Waiting on the road, Let me see if I can remove the imprints placed by this person." After the old man's face was uncertain for a while, the girl in the yellow shirt stomped her feet.
Then the old man uncovered the girl's shoulders in the yellow shirt, and suddenly found a black rune mark imprinted on the girl's shoulder, and he couldn't help groaning.
"Grandfather, is this person really so terrible just now? It even made your old man not daring to confront it head-on." Seeing this, the beautiful girl in yellow shirt bit her teeth and asked bitterly.
"This person should be a physical cultivator, and definitely a strong one among them. He didn't seem to be doing his best after just hitting him. It seems that something big is going to happen to this turtle Yuandao." The old man's expression turned a little bit. Dignified, after talking about carrying a yellow shirt, the girly also went away with a cloud.
