Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, I became a role model of righteousness

Chapter 35 Beyond the Starry Sky
Remember that day, she received the task of catching a thief.

Unexpectedly, the thieves were a group of teenagers.

Originally Jiang Li wanted to hand them over to the city guards, but on the way, she heard about what happened to several children.

After knowing why they became thieves, I couldn't bear it.

These children all have miserable lives. They were orphans since childhood and were adopted by a casual cultivator because of their talent for cultivation.

This casual cultivator was originally a disciple of a small sect called Kongkongmen. Later, the sect was destroyed, and he lived in hiding alone.

In order to continue the sect's inheritance, he adopted Xiaohong and others and taught them the skill of stealing.

When Xiaohong and the others grow up a little, let them go out and steal things.

Stolen items must be handed in, and if the stolen items are less than what is brought back, there will be punishment.

Ten days ago, the wandering cultivator who raised Dahong and Xiaohong suddenly said that he had to leave for a few days for something. Unexpectedly, he never came back and could not be contacted in any way.

Although they suspected that the wandering cultivator was no longer around, they were afraid that he would come back and beat them up if they saw that they had not worked, so the children still diligently looked for targets every day.

Until he was caught by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li saw that they were still young and couldn't bear to hand them over to the city guards.

So after giving them a lecture and making them swear never to steal again, they let them go.

She handed over all the things they stole to the City Defense Department.

As for whether the City Defense Department returned the storage bag to the owner, she didn't know.

At that time, Jiang Li herself did not expect that she would need help from these little brats.

"Have you heard about the recent cases of demon cultivators digging out their hearts in the city?" Jiang Li asked Xiaohong and others.

Xiao Hong nodded, "I heard about it."

This case has become such a big deal that the entire Leidi City is in a panic. How could they not have heard of it?

Jiang Li: "You are all natives who grew up in Thunder Emperor City, you must know more about the situation here than I do.

Do you have any clues you can provide me?"

"What benefits do we have?" Xiaofei took the lead and spoke without waiting for Xiaohong to speak.

Xiao Fei's eyes were rolling around, and one could tell at a glance what the man was planning.

It seems that they really know something, Jiang Li thought to himself.

"I'll give you 500 of the 50,000 spirit stone bounty." Jiang Li stretched out her little hand and made a five.

"So little!" Xiao Fei was a little dissatisfied.

“I will only give you these five hundred low-grade spirit stones if your information can really help me.

If the information you give is useless, you won’t even get 500 spirit stones.” Jiang Li withdrew his hand.

"Our information is definitely useful, but the price is too low!" Xiao Fei was a little dissatisfied.

“Whether it is useful or not can only be confirmed after I have listened to the information you provided. It doesn’t mean it is useful just because you say it is useful.

Besides, these five hundred low-grade spirit stones are not a small amount. You are just providing information. It is up to me and my junior brother to capture that demon cultivator.

It was us who risked our lives to catch the demon cultivators!"

Meng Jue nodded on the side, feeling that what his senior sister said was absolutely right.

Xiaofei wanted to argue, but was stopped by Xiaohong.

“Okay, Xiaofei, five hundred spirit stones is a lot, let’s leave it at that.

Go call Xiaoqiu and Xiaolan back, and don't tell anyone about this outside. Just tell them that you have something to ask them to come back." Xiaohong said to Xiaofei.

Although Xiao Fei was somewhat unwilling, he finally listened to Xiao Hong and went out to look for someone obediently.

Twenty minutes later, everyone was there. Jiang Li set up a barrier in the house, and Xiaohong and the others finally told them the news they knew.

"Our information is definitely useful, and super useful. Can't you really add a little more?" Xiao Fei bit his lip, his eyes expectant.

Jiang Li was unmoved, "No."

Her money didn't come from the wind, so why would she be dreaming of such good things?

"Let me tell you, we have some guesses about the identity of the murderer who killed people and took their hearts, and we are 80% sure.

But you know our situation. We are still young and weak, so we dare not tell others about it for fear of being targeted."

The person who was speaking was Xiao Lan, a thin little boy, about eleven or twelve years old, with dark skin.

"Tell me about it." Jiang Li and Meng Jue subconsciously became serious when they heard Xiao Lan's words.

"We only know that person is in the City Lord's Mansion."

"How do you know that the murderer is from the City Lord's Mansion?" Jiang Li asked. "The reason we know this is because of Xiao Ling'er.

Xiao Ling'er is Xiao Lan's good friend. Xiao Ling'er is also an orphan. In order to make a living, she went to work in the City Lord's Mansion. Unexpectedly, she disappeared within a few days after entering.

Xiao Lan was really worried, so she went to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the situation.

Unexpectedly, the people in the City Lord's Mansion said that there was no such person as Xiao Ling'er in the mansion.

Xiao Lan didn't give up and often wandered around the City Lord's Mansion. Although he didn't find Xiao Ling'er, he made an unexpected discovery.

On two occasions, he saw someone sneaking out of the City Lord's Mansion late at night, and that person died the next day.

So we all suspect that the murderer is from the City Lord's Mansion, and the number of dead may be far more than four." Xiao Fei explained for Xiao Lan.

Jiang Li frowned slightly, "Did you see clearly whether that person was a man or a woman?"

"She must be a woman. Although she is wearing a nightgown, her figure doesn't look like a man's." Xiao Lan said after thinking for a while.

Someone from the City Lord’s Mansion?
After leaving Xiaohong's house, Jiang Li walked and thought.

There is no way that the City Lord's Mansion would collude with the demon cultivators.

Then there is only one possibility left, that everything is just a disguise.

The one who killed someone and took his heart was most likely just an ordinary cultivator.

In order to avoid being investigated, he framed the demon cultivator.

That person killed people and took their hearts. Was he trying to practice some evil skill?
"Junior brother, what do you think..." Just when he was about to ask Meng Jue's opinion, he turned around and found that there was no one behind him.

"Where are the people?" Jiang Li was startled and looked around.

Still no sign of Meng Jue.

"Where did the person go?"

……

outside the world
Starry Sky Trail
Above the endless starry sky, a woman in white was nestling in the arms of a man in green.

The man is as handsome as a banished immortal, and the woman has a beauty that makes the world pale in comparison.

The two stood above the starry sky, looking at the real and unreal world in front of them.

“A new cycle has begun, and I don’t know if Hao’er can do it.

If Hao'er fails, you must break through this world and rescue him. I don't want our Hao'er to die in here." The woman pushed the man beside her away and said angrily.

"Sure." The man nodded slightly.

Man: "Hao'er has the Kunwu Sword you gave him. I think it will be helpful for him to have the magic sword in his hand."

"That guy Long Aotian is of little help. He is the most timid person. When there is danger, he will just hide behind me. He is no better than Taicang." The woman gritted her teeth.

"...Long Aotian will also grow up." The man was silent for a moment, then coughed lightly.

The woman looked at him strangely, "Do you believe this yourself?"

It would be strange if that guy could change. Even after 30,000 years, he is still so timid.

"That silly boy, why did he want to interfere in the affairs of Lingyang Realm? It's not that easy to turn the world in the book into reality.

This is extremely difficult. If you are not careful, you can really die in there!

Isn't this like sending off a young person when I am old? "

That being said, in the girl’s heart, she will always be eighteen, beautiful as a flower, and will never have gray hair.

Among the several children, only the eldest one looks most like his father, even their love of getting lost is exactly the same.

What's wrong with his father? It's just that he loves to get lost. The woman was so speechless that she couldn't complain.

Fortunately, among the three children, only the eldest inherited his father's ability to get lost.

"Hao'er will not die." The man believed he could still save his son's life.

"It's enough if he can be saved. Let this kid learn a lesson and see if he dares to do anything wrong again." The woman still feels sorry for her own son. After all, he is her biological son.

"Let's go, I've seen enough, let's go to the White Tiger Tribe to eat hot pot with my parents."

The woman touched her stomach. In fact, she was either hungry or greedy.

Man: It seems that Taozi doesn’t feel much pain for her son.

The next second, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Just as he came quietly, he left without attracting anyone's attention.
