God Destroying Pearl

One was Chi Kun, the second elder of the Liehuo Sect. There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, as if he had anticipated everything that had just happened.

The other was Liu Xiangsheng, the lord of Luosu City, with a smile on his face.

"City Lord Liu, you have already seen the people. Although they have escaped, the reward cannot be reduced!" There was a hint of pride in Chi Kun's voice.

"Of course." Liu Xiangsheng said with a smile, as if he didn't care about Song Yun and the others' escape.

As he spoke, Liu Xiangsheng took out a storage bag and handed it to Chi Kun.

Chi Kun took the storage bag and quickly checked the contents with his spiritual sense. A satisfied expression appeared on his face and he nodded.

"City Lord Liu, this cooperation is very pleasant. I hope there will be opportunities in the future."

"Elder Chi, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Liu Xiangsheng nodded, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

"Lord Liu, take care!" Chi Kun nodded.

Liu Xiangsheng didn't say anything else. He turned and left the room. His figure quickly disappeared in the corridor of Chihuo Tower.

Chi Kun stood by the window, gazing into the distance, as if thinking about something.

"Elder Chi, why don't you let us join forces to deal with Song Yun and others from the Qingyun Sect?" A disciple of the Liehuo Sect behind Chi Kun asked with a hint of doubt.

"The City Lord's Mansion attacked them because they killed Kong Tai of the City Lord's Mansion. This reason is reasonable. If we take action, it will become an internal fight within the alliance. Although everyone in the alliance has their own ulterior motives, it is not appropriate to argue openly now!" Chi Kun smiled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

The disciple nodded, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.

"Did Song Yun and his men from the Qingyun Sect really kill Kong Tai from the City Lord's Mansion?" the disciple continued to ask.

"Whether he was really killed or not is not important anymore." A trace of disdain flashed in Chi Kun's eyes.

"On the one hand I can gain benefits, on the other hand I can kill someone with a borrowed knife. Why not do it, ha... ha..." There was a hint of pride in his laughter.

“By the way, go and send a message to the sect. Tell them that there is some clue about the disappearance of the sect’s disciples in Luosu City, and the news is being confirmed.” Chi Kun suddenly said, with a serious look in his eyes.

"Yes!" The disciple immediately obeyed the order. He knew that this news was very important to the sect.

After his disciples left, Chi Kun stood by the window again, gazing at Luosu City in the night.

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.

After confirming that there were no pursuers, Song Yun and Ke Sanxiao stopped. They were in a secluded alley, with only the occasional chirping of insects around them.

"Friend Ke, where are we going now?" Song Yun asked after taking a breath.

"Let's go back to my courtyard first. I'll see if I can contact anyone from the sect." Ke Sanxiao pondered for a moment and then said.

"Okay." Song Yun replied concisely.

"Friend Ke, how did you determine that there was something wrong with the disciple standing outside the room of the second elder Chi Kun of the Liehuo Sect?" On the way, Song Yun raised the doubts in his mind again.

"There are three suspicious points. First, although this person is wearing the uniform of the Fiery Flame Sect, the shoes on his feet are the same as those of the people in the City Lord's Mansion." Ke Sanxiao explained as he walked.

"Secondly, this person is a disciple of the Fiery Flame Sect and has cultivated to the late stage of foundation building. However, I don't sense any aura related to fire-related techniques from him. This is extremely abnormal."

"Another major reason is that although Chi Kun is at the middle stage of the Golden Core, it is not necessary to let a late Foundation Establishment disciple guard the gate. There can only be one reason for letting a late Foundation Establishment disciple guard the gate, and that is that there is someone of higher status inside."

"If any of these reasons is true, we will be in danger, so we can't take risks easily and must leave quickly. I didn't expect that the people from the City Lord's Mansion would find Chi Kun so quickly. Chi Kun chose to stand aside and watch in front of the Blazing Fire Tower, which means that he has reached some cooperation with the City Lord's Mansion."

There was a hint of regret in Ke Sanxiao's tone.

As Song Yun listened to Ke Sanxiao's analysis, he became even more impressed with the observation skills of this disciple from the Divine Sword Sect.

Not long after, under the cover of night, Song Yun and Ke Sanxiao quietly returned to the gate of the courtyard where Ke Sanxiao lived.

The tranquility here was in stark contrast to the chaotic battlefield they had just escaped.

Ke Sanxiao's hand was already on the door, ready to push it open, but he suddenly stopped.

"Friend Ke, what's wrong?" Song Yun asked in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

Ke Sanxiao did not answer immediately. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, scanning every corner of the courtyard through the crack in the door.

"Something is wrong!" His voice was low and solemn.

Suddenly, a cold laugh broke the silence of the night.

“Ha…ha…ha…the Spiral Sword really lives up to its reputation. You actually found the problem with it so easily!”

This laughter was full of provocation, making Song Yun and Ke Sanxiao's nerves tense to the extreme.

The two were startled, and almost instinctively, they quickly stepped back and left the door.

They didn't expect that there was an ambush in the courtyard, and the other party had obviously been waiting for them for a long time.

Three figures appeared on the courtyard wall, and their figures looked particularly strange under the moonlight.

The three men were wearing black cloaks and hideous masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with cold light.

"Are you from the Wan Du Men?" Ke Sanxiao's voice was chilled, his eyes fixed on the three figures.

The Wan Du Men is a notorious evil sect in this area. They are good at using poisons and hidden weapons, and act insidiously and cunningly. They are the public enemy of many upright monks.

One of the three figures slowly stood up, his voice hoarse and gloomy.

"Ke Sanxiao, Song Yun, you can't escape today. We from the Wan Du Sect have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Let's go!" Ke Sanxiao turned around and said to Song Yun.

The two were preparing to leave.

However, at this moment, a cold voice interrupted their plan.

"None of you can escape, kill!"

The voice was full of murderous intent and made people shudder.

Suddenly, three figures appeared behind Song Yun and Ke Sanxiao. Their movements were swift and silent, as if they had emerged directly from the night.

They were attacked from both sides and were surrounded.

After these three figures appeared, they instantly threw out several balls. These balls drew arcs in the air and exploded directly behind Song Yun and the others.

There were a few muffled "bangs" and the ball exploded, followed by a green smoke that quickly spread out.

The color of the smoke was unusually bright, and one could tell at a glance that it was full of danger.

The smoke spread quickly in the air, carrying a pungent smell.

"Fellow Daoist Song, be careful, this smoke is poisonous!" Ke Sanxiao warned loudly.
