Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

In the center of Baizhu County, stands the solemn and majestic Xu Mansion, which covers a vast area and is surrounded by thick red walls.

A golden plaque hangs above the gate of Zhang Mansion, with the words "Zhang Mansion" inscribed on it. The handwriting is dignified and upright, with extraordinary bearing.

This is the residence of the county magistrate, whose surname is Zhang.

Xu Yeyu arrived at the gate of Xu's house, looked at the two guards and said, "Good evening, both of you. I am a disciple of the Sunset Sect."

The two of them naturally knew the Sunset Sect. Although the Sunset Sect was in the Western Region Province, ordinary people in Qianye Province also knew the name of this sect.

As one of the top ten major sects in the Northern Continent, the Sunset Sect enjoys a very high reputation and a very good name in the mortal world.

The two gatekeepers also saw that Baizhu County was surrounded by a formation, and guessed that the cultivator in front of them had come to discuss with the county magistrate how to resolve the current situation.

The two of them would not regard Xu Yeyu as a demon cultivator, because a demon cultivator would never tell them these things. If he wanted to find the county magistrate, he would have killed him long ago. Why would he waste time with the two of them?

At this moment, an elderly figure slowly appeared among the three of them.

The old man was dressed in simple clothes, leaning on a cane, with a hunched back, a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles.

"I'm the housekeeper here. Young man, are you here to see the master?" the old man asked.

Xu Yeyu nodded and said, "I have something I want you to help me with, and I have some questions for you."

......

......

The pavilions and towers in Zhang's mansion are arranged in an orderly manner and are made of exquisite tiles and carved wooden doors.

There is a small pond in the center of the mansion, and the clear water reflects the surrounding scenery.

There are lush flowers and trees around the pool. There is also a small pavilion built around the pool. A small bridge curves across the water, connecting the gardens on both sides of the pool.

Xu Yeyu followed the path paved with blue bricks and came to the back of the main hall, where there was a courtyard filled with all kinds of flowers, plants and trees.

Zhang Jin stood in the courtyard, looking into the distance, and saw a young man in a gray robe walking towards him.

Xu Yeyu walked within five meters of Zhang Jin and stopped, not moving forward.

"Young man, do you know how to break the formation that trapped Baizhu County? What on earth do these demon cultivators want to do?"

Xu Yeyu looked at Zhang Jin's anxious expression and said, "Stop pretending. You are the devil cultivator I mentioned."

Zhang Jin quickly shook his head and denied: "Young man, this... is there some misunderstanding here? How could I be a demon cultivator?"

His voice trembled, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, his legs and feet went weak, and he fell to his knees.

"When I first saw you in Yunxia Tower, I noticed that there was spiritual energy fluctuations on you. I didn't think much of it at the time. After all, it seemed reasonable for a county lord to have some cultivation. But I just confirmed something with the housekeeper. You are just an ordinary person, not a cultivator."

"You disguised yourself very well and fooled many people. Others couldn't see any spiritual fluctuations in you. I could only see that you only had a weak spiritual fluctuation. I think you must have used some magic weapon to hide your cultivation."

Zhang Jin said nothing and did not explain.

Xu Yeyu continued, "The housekeeper told me that he commissioned the Yutian Sect to catch monsters, and a few days later you commissioned the Qingcheng Sect to catch monsters."

Xu Yeyu asked Ye Lu when she received the commission from Baizhu County, and Ye Lu replied that it was four days ago.

At that time, Xu Yeyu was thinking that according to the timeline, Baizhu County should have first entrusted the task to Yutian Sect, and then Yutian Sect would send the monster-catching task to Xiyang Sect.

But after a few days, Baizhu County commissioned the Qingcheng Sect again. During this period, there were no new deaths in Baizhu County, so it should not entrust the Qingcheng Sect to catch monsters again.

"I've heard from others that the government has a rule that you will first entrust the nearby sect to handle the matter. If the sect ignores your entrustment after a period of time, the county magistrate will entrust the sect to handle it."

"You wanted to entrust the disciples of Qingcheng Sect to handle it from the beginning, but you didn't want to make it too obvious, so you followed the government's regulations and entrusted it to Yutian Sect first, and then entrusted it to Qingcheng Sect a few days later."

"Your target is the Demon Suppression Tower in Ye Lu's hands, but there is another question. How do you know that as long as you entrust Qingcheng Sect with the task, Ye Lu will go down the mountain to do the commission for Baizhu County?"

"Let me guess here. Ye Lu once told me that he is now the eldest senior brother of the Qingcheng Sect. Any dangerous commissions such as entrusting the Qingcheng Sect to go down the mountain to catch monsters will be handled by him and Fatty Lai. So there is a traitor to the Qingcheng Sect among you, and that person knows about this."

Xu Yeyu took out Bixia, and the sword flickered in the moonlight.

There was a reason why he said so much. He was helping the butler to buy time while the butler went to evacuate other people in the county government.

Xu Yeyu told the butler that the county magistrate had been possessed by someone. The butler hesitated a little, but still believed him.

Because the housekeeper did find that there were some differences between the county magistrate and before.

Xu Yeyu continued, "The person who attacked Ye Lu in the end was you. Your spiritual energy fluctuations were exactly the same as what I noticed in Yunxia Tower. However, the county magistrate was originally just an ordinary person. It is impossible for him to reach the third level of foundation breaking in a short period of time."

Zhang Jin looked at Xu Yeyu with incredible surprise on his face. His expression changed instantly and he was no longer the frightened look he had just had.

"Then there is only one possibility left, the county magistrate has been possessed by you."

The county magistrate has spiritual roots, but he doesn't know it, and instead he is used by the evil cultivator.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are three major restrictions on possessing another's body.

First, a cultivator of a lower level cannot take over the body of a cultivator of a higher level. Generally, a cultivator of a higher level has stronger spiritual power than a cultivator of a lower level. Only a cultivator of a higher spiritual power can succeed in taking over the body of a cultivator of a lower level, otherwise he will suffer backlash.

Secondly, a cultivator can only take over another person's body once in his lifetime. If he tries it a second time, his soul will not be able to bear it and will perish.

Thirdly, cultivators cannot possess the bodies of mortals. Mortals do not have spiritual roots, and their bodies cannot withstand the act of possession and will collapse on their own.

The back garden of the mansion was shrouded in darkness.

The staggered branches and flowers look desolate under the moonlight. When the breeze blows, the branches make a low rustling sound, as if it is an ominous omen.

In the quiet night, there was an indescribable feeling of oppression.

Zhang Jin's eyes flashed with a ferocious light in the darkness. He said to Xu Yeyu, "I originally thought that you didn't know about these things. I don't want to make too much noise. After some time, when the formation is finished refining the Demon Suppression Tower, I will leave here with the Demon Suppression Tower."

Zhang Jin said sarcastically: "You are really smart, but you are so smart, have you never thought that you will die here?"

The swords flashed and the sound of collision echoed in the silent Zhang Mansion.
