Chapter 614: Touching the Secret AgainNing Zhuo and Wen Runyu stood beside Chen Sui's body.

The cause of death has been found.

It is the heart-piercing nail in Wen Runyu's hand.

Wen Runyu held the piercing nail tightly in her hand, and because she held it too tightly, the veins on the back of her hand were exposed.

Wen Ruanyu's usual demeanor had disappeared, and her face was full of anger: "This is too much!"

Under heavy surveillance, a male concubine still died. This was simply a slap in the face of Wen Runyu.

What a slap in the face!

What was even more disgusting was that the clues of the murderer pointed directly to Sun Tiesheng. This made Wen Ruanyu still cautious and she didn't want to follow this clue that was obviously prepared by the murderer and investigate it carefully.

Ning Zhuo stared at the body on the ground and said slowly: "Compared to this clue, I am more concerned about another point - who found Chen Sui's body and how?"

Wen Ruanyu immediately understood what Ning Zhuo meant, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes: "You mean, the process of Chen Sui's body being discovered was also arranged by the traitor."

Ning Zhuo: "I think it is very likely. If Chen Sui is secretly assassinated, according to our arrangement, each male concubine will have to contribute his or her own efforts to the Spirit Contract Refining Array all day and all night, and then compete with each other to compete for the only winner."

"So, these male concubines in Zhuangyangyuan basically never leave their houses."

"But now, Chen Sui's body was discovered too quickly, and the negative impact spread to the entire hospital almost like lightning."

"Right now, the morale of the Zhuangyang Courtyard has been severely shaken, and this situation is most in the interests of Lord Wangchuan."

Wen Ruanyu nodded: "That makes sense, I'll check it out right away."

Wen Runyu acted decisively and quickly found the result.

With a gloomy face, he said to Ning Zhuo, "It's just a paper puppet."

"It was supposed to clean the room early in the morning according to Chen Sui's instructions, but it found the door wide open and saw the body after entering."

Ning Zhuo was surprised: "If it was just a paper puppet, why would it shout so loudly and show it to the public?"

Wen Ruonyu said: "Jiao Ma, you don't know the origins of the paper puppet."

"The White Paper Immortal City was built by Xuansu Scholar, who is a powerful being at the Refining Void level. As his successors, we still cannot understand the purpose of this powerful being in building this immortal city."

"But we have already discovered many of the functions and powers of the Immortal City."

"For example, these paper puppets are very practical and take on many daily and wartime labor tasks in the White Paper Fairy City."

"These paper puppets generally have spirituality, just like ordinary people. The reason for this is that the White Paper Fairy City has experienced countless ghost waves, and a large number of ghosts and living beings have died in this city."

"White Paper Fairy City collects these, and after a long period of accumulation, over time, a qualitative change occurs, and a spiritual source is generated."

"After these paper puppets are infused with spiritual energy, they will become like ordinary people and have spiritual intelligence."

"Because of the different intelligence and qualities of the paper figures themselves, there are also different types of paper puppets. You can assume that these paper puppets responsible for daily work come from the mortals in the city, so it is natural for them to make a fuss and lose their composure. It is very normal."

Ning Zhuo finally understood and said in a daze: "So that's how it is. I thought this was the Lord City Lord's trick."

Wen Ruanyu shook her head: "The City Lord's paper puppet was given to her by the White Paper Fairy City because of her authority."

"Perhaps, you also have this benefit. After all, you are our deputy city lord now." Wen Runyu whispered this to Ning Zhuo using her spiritual sense.

There was a fleeting gleam of light in Ning Zhuo's eyes.

He did not think about verifying this guess first, but thought of the seven paper man armies in the underworld.

"Since these paper figures have been infused with spirituality, they have become vivid..."

"Then what if I extract the spirituality of Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yehu and infuse it into those ownerless paper puppets?"

The two discussed it but could not come up with a good solution.

The traitor's methods were truly powerful. Even when Chen Sui was under close surveillance, he still managed to kill him without leaving any clues.

The biggest clue is still an obvious trap, or a bitter irony.

“Right now, only you, Senior Wen, have to step forward to appease the many male concubines and maintain the spiritual contract treasure refining formation.” Ning Zhuo said.

Wen Ruanyu held back her headache and said, "That's the only way. As long as this magic circle is maintained, the traitor will be forced to take action again."

"But to be honest, I am now hesitant."

"Doing this is like using the male concubines as bait to lure out traitors. Is it really worth sacrificing these people like this?"

Ning Zhuo nodded immediately, showing a firm attitude: "Of course it's worth it."

"To be honest, Shen Bing and Chen Sui are just foundation-building cultivators. How much Yang energy can they contribute?"

"If we use them to lure out the traitors, so that we can seize the flaws and eliminate them in one fell swoop, their contribution will be far greater than serving as male concubines!"

Wen Ruanyu smiled bitterly: "That's what you say, but what if we still can't find the traitor?"

At this point, he looked at Ning Zhuo worriedly: "Jiao Ma, you have to pay attention to safety too!"

"Your Jiao family's family skills are very famous."

"If Sun Tiesheng dies, you may also become a target of attack and killing."

Ning Zhuo nodded, his face showing a serious expression.

That night, a rumor spread, making Zhuangyang Hospital even more uneasy.

The content of the rumors was roughly similar: Shen Bing and Chen Sui were assassinated one after another, so the next one on the third night was probably Sun Tiesheng.

After all, they are the three most powerful male concubines in Zhuangyangyuan.

They can be said to be the leaders.

Wen Runyu worked hard for most of the day, trying to calm people's hearts, but these rumors directly destroyed his efforts.

He was secretly shocked and angry, and immediately began to investigate.

The results of the investigation made him laugh and cry: these rumors were actually spread by Sun Tiesheng.

Wen Ruanyu immediately went to the door and scolded him.

Sun Tiesheng knelt on the ground and cried bitterly to Wen Ruanyu, expressing his extreme fear and worry. He was not afraid of being assassinated, but worried that after his death, who would help the city lord refine the Yin Qi. If this contribution was not made, and the White Paper Fairy City was destroyed, then the Sun family would also be destroyed. Then he, Sun Tiesheng, would be the enemy who destroyed his family!

Wen Ruanyu snorted coldly: "You take yourself too seriously."

"Get up. I won't hold you responsible for the time being. I will settle accounts with you and your Sun family later!"

Wen Runyu left in a huff, but she instructed and arranged more subordinates to protect Sun Tiesheng.

Sun Tiesheng was secretly delighted when he saw the additional monks.

His plan worked, forcing Wen Runyu to pay more attention and add more personnel for security.

Although Wen Runyu is a golden elixir, she also understands Sun Tiesheng's plan and can only choose to fall into the trap in the end.

This is because what he hated more was the traitor hiding in the dark.

"This time, I have arranged three times the number of people to guard Sun Tiesheng. I don't believe you can assassinate him!" Wen Runyu gritted his teeth secretly.

That night.

Outside the white paper city.

Suddenly, a group of ghost monks emerged from the ground and surrounded a group of scout ghost soldiers.

"Die!" The ghost girl Qing Chi shouted, taking the lead, and using her petite body to directly smash a skeleton horse into pieces, and knocked down the leading elite ghost soldier and beat him severely.

bang bang bang...

Her fists flew, flattening the ghost's bronze helmet, and then blowing up the ghost's head.

Seeing their leader trapped, many ghosts rushed towards Qing Chi, but were intercepted by Qing Yan and his men halfway.

Qing Chi killed the leader of the ghost soldiers and immediately stood up, his eyes gleaming with fierceness and filled with blazing fighting spirit, and was about to continue fighting. But he saw his father, who had just finished a battle with other ghost monks.

They eliminated this group of Yin soldiers and scouts.

Qing Chi suddenly felt stuck and shouted helplessly: "Hey, leave some for me."

The ghost monk teased her, "Miss, you want the credit to meet your sweetheart. We also want to make achievements. These credits cannot be given away casually."

Qing Chi snorted coldly: "It's up to you. When we meet a strong enemy, we'll see who can snatch it from me!"

Second night.

Qing Yan and others successfully ambushed a team of Yin soldiers scouts again.

However, not long after the fight, a dozen heavily armored cavalrymen of the Yin Army suddenly appeared from the other side of the battlefield and launched a charge.

Qing Chi was attracted by the attention, and instead of being surprised, he was delighted and shouted, "Well done!"

She did not dodge or evade, but charged in the opposite direction. Halfway through, her whole body was burning with green flames, and she rushed forward.

At the moment of collision, she leaped up, tapped the cavalry's spear with her toes, and rose into the air again.

Blue flames exploded one after another among the heavily armored cavalry. The flames spread rapidly, engulfing the bronze armor and the tall corpses of warhorses.

After a dozen breaths, this heavily armored cavalry was buried in the green flames.

Qing Chi separated the flames and leaped with joy: "You won't be able to take the credit this time, right?"

Qing Yan's face turned livid, and he shouted, "Xiao Chi! Do you want to die? Who asked you to take such a risk?!"

Night three.

Qing Yan and his gang did not leave the city.

The ghost tide came again, impacting the Baizhi Immortal City.

As part of the reinforcements, they stood on the city walls to defend.

A group of ghosts were about to rush over the wall, and Qing Chi stepped forward.

She stretched out her palms and pressed them hard on the white bricks of the city wall.

The next moment, the scorching green flames spread like vines, instantly covering the entire section of the city wall and burning all the ghosts to death.

In the flames, large areas of flame crabapple flowers bloomed.

"Burn you to death, burn you to death!" Qing Chi's eyes flashed with green light, he murmured, and the flame in his hand became stronger.

Then, the green flames spread out, covering a section of the city wall, and also swept down to sweep away a large number of ghosts under the city, clearing a small area of ​​the battlefield on the spot.

Such power made both the enemy and us look at him sideways.

The blue flame suddenly disappeared, Qing Chi was panting, and fell into a state of extreme exhaustion.

Qing Yan immediately came up behind her, picked up his daughter, and fled to the back: "I've told you several times, don't fight like this!"

Qing Chi chuckled: "Dad, is my contribution enough now?"

Qing Yan snorted coldly: "I guess it's about the same. Let's calculate it carefully after the battle."

Qing Chi pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Let's calculate it carefully!"

As the father and daughter walked, they attracted a lot of attention.

"She is Qing Chi?"

"The ghost cultivator who has been very active recently, although only at the foundation-building stage, has the combat power of the golden elixir level!"

"Her flames are full of vitality, but they are extremely poisonous to ghosts."

The girl tried her best to meet her lover, so she performed amazingly and became the most shining figure in this city defense stage.

The Zhuangyang Hospital is heavily guarded.

Two days have passed since Chen Sui was assassinated.

Perhaps it was because Wen Runyu mobilized enough people and kept a close watch, or perhaps it was because the traitor voluntarily stopped, and no one else was assassinated in the past few days.

Therefore, the morale of the people in Zhuangyang Hospital gradually calmed down.

Ning Zhuo's life is quite peaceful and busy.

The other male concubines fully participated in the treasure refining array, providing their own yang energy, constantly swallowing large amounts of aphrodisiacs, and engaging in fierce competition. Ning Zhuo, on the other hand, was immersed in the cultivation of his soul.

Although he did not major in this type of martial arts, he had four Yuanying-level treasures.

Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes, his pupils were dark and deep, revealing a hint of gloom.

"Breakthrough."

"Now I am the soul of a million people!"

Ning Zhuo's heart leaped with joy and he looked down at his arm.

His arms were blue-gray in color, and emanated a sinister aura.

Ning Zhuo knew very well that this situation was not limited to his arms, but his entire body!

"My soul is so powerful that it almost exceeds the carrying capacity of my body."

"We must slow down and put more energy into the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat."

"I have to say that the current Lord of White Paper City is quite generous. Up to now, most of the four treasures of soul cultivation are left."

"Boss, you really don't consider soul cultivation?"

Ning Zhuo couldn't help but secretly ask again through the thread of life and death.

Sun Lingtong refused again and then talked about something fun.

When Ning Zhuo was practicing, he didn't check on Sun Lingtong's situation. Sun Lingtong joined the Yin army, but saw Qing Chi's heroic fighting posture.

He reminded Ning Zhuo: "This little girl is so brave! Even we have begun to pay attention to her. If she is allowed to grow up, this green fire will definitely be the nemesis of ghosts. Therefore, the Yin Army has collected a lot of information about her."

"Even you are included in the intelligence."

"It seems that this girl has made a bet with her father and is fighting with all her might, making enough contributions so that she can come to see you!"

Ning Zhuo frowned immediately: "What?"

Sun Lingtong chuckled and added, "Don't worry, I heard Qing Chi has almost collected enough credits."

Ning Zhuo frowned even more tightly and felt a headache again.

He looked around and thought, "I can't stay here anymore! I have to go out and hide."

Ning Zhuo originally wanted to go out.

His first stop was the City Lord's Mansion, where he used the Deputy City Lord's Order and tried hard to sense, but he failed to trigger the secret restrictions of the White Paper Fairy City and did not receive the benefit of the paper man clone.

Ning Zhuo did not give up, he knew that there were a large number of blank paper people hidden in the underworld.

So, his second stop was to touch the giant paper statue at the South Gate.

After working day and night to repair the paper statue, it has been largely restored to its original appearance.

Ning Zhuo had a smooth journey and once again entered the interior space of the giant paper statue and saw the Qianmo Lantern.

He infused it with magic power and used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the Qianmo Lantern, suddenly triggering a layer of secret restrictions.

The next moment, his mother's voice came from the lamp.
