When Zhou Xuanfeng realized the meaning of Daoist Lord Cangyu's words, he was about to open his mouth to refuse when he heard Xu Taichu speak, "Daoist Lord, please allow me to report that there are tens of thousands of cultivators coming and going in Mingyue City every day. We must not block it lightly!"

Daoist Master Cang Yu frowned, his expression displeased as he said, "Youngster, don't be so stubborn. If we don't seal off the city, what if the murderer who killed my disciple escapes? Can your Xuantian Sect bear this responsibility?!"

"You, Xuantian Sect, must catch the murderer who killed people and stole treasures and killed my disciple!" Taoist Cangyu was unmoved.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuanfeng hurriedly said, "Daojun, what Senior Sister Xu said is not without reason. Sealing off Mingyue City will surely cause dissatisfaction among many cultivators and may lead to trouble."

Daoist Master Cang Yu snorted coldly: "That is your Xuantian Sect's business, and has nothing to do with me. I just want to find the murderer who killed my disciple!"

Xu Taichu stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Daoist Lord, please calm down. It's not that our Xuantian Sect is unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, but this matter requires long-term planning. If we forcibly seal off the city and provoke public outrage, the situation will get out of control, making it even more difficult to find the real culprit."

Daoist Cang Yu glared at him, "We need to think it over? By the time you've figured it out, the murderer would have already escaped!"

Zhou Xuanfeng thought for a moment and said, "Lord Dao, why don't we conduct a secret investigation in the city first, send more people to keep an eye out for suspicious people and things, and then decide whether to seal off the city. This way, we might be able to achieve the best of both worlds."

Taoist Cangyu still looked very unhappy, and said in a cold voice: "Then I will give you three days. If you still can't catch the murderer, don't blame me for being ruthless!" After that, he turned away.

Zhou Xuanfeng and Xu Taichu looked at each other, both with worried expressions on their faces, knowing that the pressure in the past three days was enormous.

After leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Taoist Cangyu went to the Lanyue Auction House in Mingyue City.

Because of Li Qiushui's deliberate concealment, Taoist Cangyu was not sure whether his two disciples had taken the teleportation token.

I don’t know whether the fatal disaster that the two disciples encountered was caused by that teleportation token.

Now I must go to the Lan Yue Auction House first.

When Taoist Cangyu stepped into the Lanyue Auction House, there were almost no outsiders in the store, only two waiters dozing off in the lobby on the first floor.

The annual ultimate auction kept everyone in the auction house busy. It has finally calmed down in the past few days and everyone has a chance to catch their breath.

"Swish!" A strong gust of wind blew, and the two men were thrown to the ground. One of the men screamed, "Who? Who pushed me?"

When he saw Taoist Cangyu standing in the hall, he immediately fell silent.

The guard at the door heard the noise and rushed into the hall, but was also knocked out by Taoist Cangyu.

Daoist Master Cang Yu's expression was stern, and he said straight to the point, "This Daoist Master wants to see your manager."

One of the waiters was slightly startled, feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Daoist Lord Cang Yu. He did not dare to neglect it and said hurriedly, "Please wait a moment, my dear guest. I will go and inform you right away."

Soon, the chief steward, Zhou Ziyan, dressed in finery, came quickly and said with a bow, "I didn't know you were coming, Senior. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you."

As he spoke, he turned around and angrily scolded the guards: "You blind guys, can't you see we have a distinguished guest? Get out of here!" He secretly groaned in his heart. The auction had just ended and there was no expert in the store. How did he attract such an evil star? He didn't know how to get rid of him.

Then he said to Daoist Master Cang Yu, "Senior, please come this way. If you have anything to say, let's talk inside."

Daoist Master Cang Yu didn't waste any time and said directly, "No need for that. Didn't your Lan Yue Auction House auction a teleportation token a few days ago? I want to know who bought it."

Zhou Ziyan's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke, "Senior, I'm so sorry! We at Lanyue Auction House have a rule that we can't disclose customer information at will."

A cold light flashed in Daoist Cangyu's eyes: "Hmph, do you know that because of that teleportation token, my two disciples have been killed? If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being rude!" As he spoke, the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator was directly released, which made Zhou Ziyan dare not breathe.

"Speak!" Taoist Cangyu shouted again!

Zhou Ziyan's heart trembled, knowing that he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him, so he said, "Senior, please calm down. I will tell you what I know."

"Our store did auction off a mysterious teleportation token a few days ago. Because there was no specific instruction on how to use it, and no relevant records passed down through the ages, not many monks participated in the auction."

"I remember that only two guests in the private rooms showed a keen interest in the teleportation token. There was a stalemate for a while, but the token was eventually bought by one of the guests for over 150 mid-grade spirit stones."

Daoist Master Cang Yu frowned, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "What are the identities of the two parties participating in the auction? Are there any special people or forces?"

Zhou Ziyan thought for a moment and said, "The guest in one of the private rooms is a casual cultivator, nothing special. The guests in the other room appear to be two female disciples from a certain sect. I'll need to check our store's register for more information."

Daoist Master Cang Yu's eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice, "Go quickly! This matter is of great importance. Don't try to fool me."

Zhou Ziyan responded and hurried off. A short while later, he returned with the registration book, beads of sweat still beading on his forehead.

"Daojun, I've found out. Those two female disciples are Li Qiushui and Ye Mengqi from the Shenxing Sect. The other casual cultivator who took the photo of the teleportation token is called Lin Xia." Zhou Ziyan said as he handed over the registration book.

Taoist Cangyu took the registration book, looked at it carefully, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

"Good! What a great Lin Xia, what a casual cultivator! Could it be that the deaths of Qiu Shui and Meng Qi are really related to her?" Daoist Cangyu thought to himself, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

If that's the case, I will make her regret coming into this world.

"Do you still remember the appearance of that casual cultivator?" asked Daoist Master Cangyu.

Zhou Ziyan shook his head. "At that time, I was only paying attention to the guest's box number and didn't pay attention to the guest's appearance."

Alas, Zhou Ziyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm really sorry, the only thing I can do for you is not to reveal your appearance.

Daoist Lord Cang Yu took a deep breath and said, "Well, if that's the case, you can go down first. If you remember anything, report to the Law Enforcement Hall of Mingyue City immediately. The Daoist Lords will be there in the next few days."

"Also, leave this booklet with me for now."

"Senior, I'm afraid this..." Zhou Ziyan's unfinished words were taken back by Taoist Cangyu's sharp gaze.

Zhou Ziyan bowed and retreated, while Taoist Cangyu paced on the spot, thinking about something, and then turned and left.
