Chapter 119: Murder and Treasure Hunt

As time went by, Qingling Market became more and more lively.

All this was due to the free and open policy of the market, which attracted a large number of casual cultivators to settle down.

However, this policy also brought some problems. Since there was no threshold restriction, many casual cultivators with bad morals took the opportunity to mix in.

They took advantage of the free environment of the market and frequently had fraud and disputes involving inferior goods. These problems brought great pressure to the management of the market.

In order to solve these problems, under the instruction of Cao Rui, Zhang Mo led the inner disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect to set up a market law enforcement team, and also hired some casual cultivators with decent strength and morals as team members.

This team is responsible for maintaining the order of the market and handling various disputes.

However, as the market became more and more prosperous, disputes also increased day by day, and the work pressure of the law enforcement team gradually increased.

Recently, Zhang Mo and his team members had to deal with several disputes almost every day, and they were very busy.

On this day, Zhang Mo had just dealt with a fraud case, and before he had time to rest, he received a report of a dispute involving inferior goods.

He quickly led the law enforcement team to the scene, only to see a casual cultivator arguing with the owner of a weapon refining shop.

After some questioning, it turned out that the casual cultivator bought a defective magic weapon for cheapness, and then found that there was a problem with the material of the magic weapon, and the power was rapidly weakened, so he asked to return the magic weapon.

However, the shop owner refused to return the spirit stone, thinking that he had clearly informed the defects of the magic weapon and there was no fraud.

The disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect arrived, and the atmosphere between the two sides was obviously eased.

Zhang Mo carefully examined the magic weapon and asked for the opinions of both parties.

In the end, according to the regulations of the market, he determined that the shop owner should give a certain amount of compensation, but the casual cultivator also needed to bear part of the responsibility.

After mediation, the two sides reached a settlement agreement and the dispute was settled.

......

On this day, Zhang Mo patrolled the market as usual.

Suddenly, a group of panicked and hurried casual cultivators walked towards Zhang Mo.

Their faces were full of fear and anger, as if something urgent had happened.

"Captain Zhang, someone is killing people and stealing treasures outside the market!" A casual cultivator panted, his eyes full of anger.

"We all know that casual cultivator. He usually makes a living by planting spiritual fields. This time he just harvested a batch of spiritual rice and took it to the market to exchange for elixirs. Unexpectedly, he was killed as soon as he left the market." Another casual cultivator said immediately, with a trace of grief in his voice.

"I saw that the cultivator who attacked and killed looked a bit like a demon cultivator!" The third casual cultivator added, his tone full of vigilance.

"Can you see the appearance of the demon cultivator?" Zhang Mo asked, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

The casual cultivators shook their heads, saying that the situation was too chaotic at the time. They only remembered that the cultivator who attacked and killed was tall and wearing a black robe.

Zhang Mo nodded, and he had already made up his mind.

He comforted the casual cultivators for a few words, and then quickly gathered a few men to go to the scene outside the market to check the situation.

Killing people and stealing treasures is a serious crime, and it is also a strictly prohibited behavior in Qingling Market.

Doing such evil things around Qingling Market is tantamount to openly provoking the Spirit Beast Sect.

This is the first case of killing and stealing treasures since the establishment of Qingling Market, and it must be dealt with quickly and properly.

Zhang Mo led five disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining and hurried to the outside of the market.

Not long after.

Zhang Mo arrived at the scene of killing and stealing treasures.

According to the description of the casual cultivators around, the casual cultivators who were killed were first killed by a magic weapon, and after the storage bag on their bodies was taken away, they were directly destroyed by a fireball.

Now there is nothing left on the ground except a pile of charred black, not even bones.

There are many casual cultivators watching around, all watching how the Spirit Beast Sect will deal with this matter.

If this matter is not handled well, the popularity of Qingling Market will definitely decline.

Zhang Mo felt a little tricky, but he still calmly contacted Cao Rui through the equipped voice transmitter to explain the situation at the scene.

"I know."

"You wait where you are."

Cao Rui frowned slightly after hearing the news.

Daring to kill people and rob treasures in the Qingling Xiuxian Market, this beast is really bold and presumptuous.

However, killing people and robbing treasures is a common thing in the Xiuxian world.

Qingling Xiuxian Market has been open for so long, and there has not been a single case of killing people and robbing treasures, which is already rare.

In order to be on the safe side, Cao Rui went to the next door to call Ye Yunyin, and summoned Heiyu to quickly fly out of the cultivation tower.

......

Zhang Mo waited in place, and more and more cultivators came around after hearing the news.

A moment later, a black shadow rushed from the horizon.

When it got closer, it was discovered that the black shadow turned out to be a huge black spiritual bird. This spiritual bird exudes a powerful aura, which makes people feel awe.

As the spiritual bird landed on the ground, two cultivators jumped off the eagle's back.

One of the young men in a black robe had a handsome face, a calm temperament, and a deep calmness in his eyes. It was Cao Rui.

The aura of the second-level spirit beast made the casual cultivators around feel pressured. They unconsciously took a few steps back, with expressions of surprise and fear on their faces.

"What a powerful demon beast!" Someone exclaimed, with fear flashing in his eyes.

"What do you know! That's Master Cao Fang coming! This is Cao Fang City's spirit beast mount, and it's at the second level!"

"Did you see that? The foundation-building elders of the spirit beast sect have also come out!"

"The Spirit Beast Sect really takes this matter very seriously. It depends on whether we can find the thief cultivator who killed people and robbed treasures!" The casual cultivators discussed it.

"Dare to kill people and rob treasures in Qingling Market, just to seek death."

Cao Rui spoke to express his attitude, and his voice slightly condensed with magic power, so that the casual cultivators who were watching could hear it clearly.

Cao Rui took out the small array plate and called up the retracing function on it.

This third-level defense array has the function of retracing scenes near the array.

It can retrace scenes inside and outside the array within three days.

The place where people killed people and robbed treasures here is not too far from the range of the array, just within the range of the scene that can be retraced.

With Cao Rui's operation, the scene of this place quickly appeared on the small array plate.

After Cao Rui locked the target in the scene, the scene began to take the killed casual cultivator as the center of view.

In the retracing scene, this casual cultivator left the market and then cast a magic move on himself.

The magic move, like the light feather technique, is a 0-level non-attribute spell, which is used by most cultivators for daily travel.

Qinglingfang City is a place for cultivating immortals on the mountain peak, so this casual cultivator used the magic movement technique and went all the way down.

He did not walk for too long.

Leng Bufan, a sharp magic weapon long sword flashed out from the bushes in front of him.

This is obviously the sword control technique.

The speed and power of the magic sword are very strong, and this casual cultivator did not have time to react, and the magic sword pierced his head.
