"After extensive investigation, we have roughly located the northwest corner of the town."
"Yes, the missing children are mostly concentrated around a manor in the northwest. That place is quite peaceful, which is a bit unusual."
Xiao Chao, Yue Shulan and others spoke while eating and drinking.
"I'll go investigate at night..."
Tong Yuhua nodded lightly.
As a tour guide, she naturally became the leader of the group.
"Have there been any other patrol envoys here?"
Yue Shulan's eyes moved slightly.
She didn't think that she was the only one who could discover the abnormality.
Several other patrol envoys may also carry out this mission.
Of course, it is unlikely that the six major patrol envoys can gather together, as a large number of other tasks also require manpower.
"It is said that Palace Master Xiao has patrol envoys here. I haven't come into contact with them yet, so don't pay any attention to them."
Tong Yuhua raised her eyebrows.
Afterwards, they stopped talking.
Lu Changsheng had been secretly observing several people. He guessed that the other party might start taking action at night.
It coincides with my own thoughts.
Just as everyone from the Demon Suppression Bureau gathered in the restaurant, in the northwest of the town, in a large manor.
Three figures stood in the hall.
Two of them were Zuo Jiliang and Qi Guangcheng, and the other was a tall man in black.
The man had a rough complexion, and there seemed to be a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.
"This operation is the first time we're cooperating with you Black Mountain Bandits. We hope to work together to annihilate these government warriors."
Zuo Jiliang smiled grimly.
They have been preparing for the past ten days.
They deliberately left some loopholes in order to lure some government officials and warriors into the trap so that they could catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Hehehe... I hope to catch some big fish."
Zhao Changgong laughed, his eyes full of murderous intent.
As an early-stage blood exchange warrior sent by the Black Mountain Bandits, this was also his first time to carry out such a mission.
Being able to hunt down some government warriors also makes his blood boil.
After a few people communicated for a while, the scene quickly returned to calm.
...
Time passed slowly and night fell quickly.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, without even a trace of moonlight, and the whole town was plunged into an eerie darkness.
On the street in the center of the town, the doors on both sides were closed and it was extremely quiet.
These days, due to the mysterious disappearance of young children, the townspeople have closed their doors early.
Occasionally, there were a few constables patrolling the streets, and the entire town was under martial law.
"call out..."
At this time, several figures quickly ran across the rooftops and headed towards the northwest of the town.
A group of people moved extremely fast, like ghosts.
These people were none other than a group of demon-suppressing envoys led by Tong Yuhua.
In the southeast of the town, there was also a group of people running towards the northwest of the town.
The two men in the lead were tall and had an extraordinary aura. They were the two patrol envoys under Xiao Tianci.
Soon, both sides noticed each other's presence and did not stop to say hello.
According to the intelligence they gathered from their own investigation, this place was most likely a transit point.
If we destroy it in one fell swoop, the credit will be considerable.
...
"Squeak…"
Lu Changsheng pushed open the door and walked into the yard.
When he first arrived in the town, he rented a small courtyard for the sake of his own privacy.
Then he used his body skills and rushed towards the northwest corner in front.
The speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen in the void.
Soon, Lu Changsheng discovered the traces of Tong Yuhua and others.
He followed closely behind everyone, making very little noise.
The group of people walked along the way and soon arrived in front of a large courtyard in the northwest of the town.
The courtyard covers a large area. The two stone lions at the gate look extremely majestic, and even the door is gilded, which is enough to show the identity of the owner of this place.
"This is the place. Let me go in and explore."
Tong Yuhua's eyes were stern.
If a cult stronghold is discovered, it will be destroyed immediately and the children rescued at the same time.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
At this moment, two patrol envoys under Xiao Tianci also arrived here with a group of people from the Demon Suppression Department.
Personnel from both sides walked directly into the yard and explored forward cautiously.
Just as everyone stepped into the courtyard, something strange happened.
A large group of black-clad warriors holding steel knives rushed out of the house quickly and surrounded many members of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
This group of people had bloodthirsty faces and were filled with murderous aura.
It was the evil followers of the Wenxiang Sect.
"Eliminate this group of cultists immediately."
Upon seeing this, Tong Yuhua and the other two inspectors immediately issued orders.
They were also a little confused. Before everyone could explore, the other party suddenly appeared on their own, which seemed a bit weird.
However, among these people, there were no strong men who could exchange blood, so the three patrol envoys naturally would not take it to heart.
The three men were quite confident and had only one thought in their minds, which was to kill all these cultists.
"Destroy us?"
A group of men in black sneered when they heard this.
He looked at the people in the Demon Suppression Bureau as if they were dead people.
This was so abnormal that Tong Yuhua and the other two looked nervous.
At this moment, a group of cultists suddenly retreated, revealing a passage.
Three men walked out of the hall slowly, their steps steady and powerful.
"Are these just a few trash?"
Zuo Jiliang frowned when he saw everyone on the field.
He also thought that the people who came were Zhu Houyu and the two blood exchange patrol envoys, so he could just keep them here.
He was quite disappointed to find that they were just a few small fry.
"Oh no, it turns out to be three blood-exchanging masters!"
Tong Yuhua and the other two looked despairing, as if they had fallen into an icy cave.
They also realized at the first moment that this place might be a trap carefully planned by the other party.
He had come to deal with Zhu Houyu and the other two, but he hadn't expected to be accidentally bumped into by himself and the others.
With their strength, it is impossible for them to break out of the siege.
If nothing unexpected happens to everyone today, they will all die.
Yue Shulan, Xiao Chao and others also had despair on their faces, and their whole bodies were trembling.
Three powerful blood-exchanging masters were enough to make everyone present lose all hope of escaping.
"Kill them all."
Zuo Jiliang waved his hand with a grim expression.
He didn't waste time talking to the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau and directly gave the order to attack.
"kill."
A group of men in black immediately attacked the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau with great ferocity.
Even the ground could be heard rumbling.
Zuo Jiliang and the other two also rushed towards the three patrol envoys, ready to kill them on the spot.
"Boom boom boom…"
In an instant, the two sides collided with each other, and the surrounding energy was rampant, with a cloud of dust and smoke billowing.
As soon as they came into contact, the demon-suppressing envoys were at an absolute disadvantage.
This group of cultists were well prepared, and with the help of three powerful blood-exchanging warriors, it was difficult for the government warriors on the scene to resist.
Within a few moves, Tong Yuhua and the other two were trapped in a desperate situation, with a look of suicidal intent on their faces.
Just when a few people were preparing to activate the secret technique of essence and blood and fight to the death, something strange happened.
A dark figure rushed over from a distance at an astonishing speed, like a ghost.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Zuo Jiliang and the other two.
This person is Lu Changsheng.
As soon as he arrived outside the yard, he saw Yue Shulan and others in desperate situation, so he took action without hesitation.
Lu Changsheng activated the triple wave technique and suddenly swung his sword forward.
A bright cold light flashed in the void, and the momentum was extremely ferocious.
He used all his strength in this strike, and slashed at Zuo Jiliang and the other two in front of him at the same time.
From the moment Lu Changsheng appeared to the moment he swung his sword, it only took a moment.
