Chapter 1113: Walking Into a Trap

Arriving at the inner hall of Linghai Gate, the master of the gate, Lingwu, had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Zhou Ran, did you find anything out of the investigation?" Lingwu asked with concern.

"Of course!" Zhou Ran said seriously, and sat down in front of Lingwu. "Sect Master, I'm afraid this matter is not simple, it is the work of a very large force!"

"What kind of force dares to kidnap people in Linghai City? Do you really think that our Linghai Sect is easy to bully?"

Lingwu was angry, and his murderous aura swelled, filling the entire inner hall.

Zhou Ran did not elaborate, but just said: "Sect Master, I think this matter should be reported to the temple. Please inform Master Qi and ask him to rush to Linghai City immediately. I have important matters to discuss."

"There's no need to inform the temple elders, right?" Lingwu said with a bitter look on his face, "After all, this is Linghai City's matter. If the temple has the final say in everything, wouldn't Linghai Sect be very embarrassed?"

Lingwu wanted Zhou Ran to tell the truth, but unfortunately Zhou Ran deliberately hid it and refused to reveal a word.

"In that case, let me report to him personally after I see Lord Qi!"

Zhou Ran stood up, and Lingwu's face was already a little ugly at this time.

At this moment, the sound of fighting sounded inside Linghai Gate.

"What's wrong?"

Lingwu was shocked and rushed out of the inner hall, heading towards the place where the sound of fighting came from.

Zhou Ran also followed silently, and when they arrived at the backyard of Linghaimen, the two were fighting.

One of them is Kuang Sha, and the other is Ling Xuan, the deputy sect leader of Linghai Sect.

Kuangsha controlled the boulder in the backyard with invisible threads and smashed it towards Lingxuan. Lingxuan was not to be outdone and resisted Kuangsha's boulder attack with a wave-like momentum.

The onlookers around him were all disciples of Linghai Sect, but no one dared to stop him.

Qianxun also watched, her eyes full of fear and uneasiness.

"stop!"

Lingwu shouted loudly.

When the two of them saw that the master of Linghai Gate was blocking their way out, they stopped fighting and retreated one after another.

When Kuangsha saw Zhou Ran, he immediately came to Zhou Ran and said, "Zhou Ran, you guessed it right. All of this was caused by Linghaimen guarding the thief, directing and acting! They shouted to catch the thief, but they didn't know that they had been exposed. ”

"What's going on?" Lingwu asked his deputy sect leader.

Lingxuan lowered his head and said: "Master, it turns out that this guy has set a trap from the very beginning to lure us into it. I followed your order to move those people, but just as I was about to move, I was discovered by Kuangsha Yes, I fought with him."

Lingxuan's words were equivalent to telling Zhou Ran and others the truth.

Lingwu knew that he could no longer hide it, so he no longer said any words of defense. Instead, he looked at Zhou Ran and said, "Zhou Ran, why do you know this?"

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "Actually, I was confused at first, but when I started investigating, I found that your deputy sect leader was secretly following us. From that moment on, I began to be suspicious. The investigation is all just a cover.”

As Zhou Ran said, he had no clue at first.

However, Zhou Ran's insight was quite sharp, and he discovered that someone was following him. The person following him was none other than the deputy sect leader of the dignified Linghai Sect.

He, Qianxun, and Kuangsha have already taken over the task of missing city residents. Why is Linghaimen still worried and sending people to follow it?

Moreover, the person sent was a deputy sect master.

Zhou Ran became suspicious when he thought of this.

After a day of investigation, Zhou Ran was just pretending to be cryptic, pretending to know everything in order to expose the Linghai Sect's flaws.

After returning to Linghai Gate, Qianxun and Kuangsha didn't know about it, so Zhou Ran quietly reminded them.

The note was like a small stone, pierced into Kuangsha's palm, and then Zhou Ran, Kuangsha and Qianxun separated.

The conversation with the sect leader Lingwu was to make Lingwu start to panic.

Once what he said made Lingwu uneasy, he would quietly give orders to transfer the captive citizens.

Unfortunately,

Lingxuan's actions were discovered by Kuangsha and Qianxun. Kuangsha fought with him and attracted Lingwu and Zhou Ran.

"Linghai City was built by Linghai Gate. The gatekeepers of Linghai Gate know the structure of the city-state very well and are also very familiar with the citizens. Taking advantage of the curfew at night, the citizens could not visit freely, so they sent the sleeping citizens to Abducted! Act in secret, quietly, only Linghaimen can do it!"

Zhou Ran told what Linghai Sect had done word for word.

"I see, Zhou Ran, I admire your thoughtfulness!"

Lingwu couldn't help but praise him, and he looked at Zhou Ran with admiration.

Outside Yunzong City, Zhou Ran saw through something that even he couldn't see through. Now, he exposed his own trick.

"Master, what else do you have to say?" Zhou Ran asked again.

"I have nothing to say." Lingwu said calmly.

"Then, let those kidnapped citizens go free!"

Zhou Ran made a request, but was rejected by Lingwu.

"I won't let anyone go, Zhou Ran. You can take away everything in Linghaimen, including my life, but I won't let go of any of these citizens."

Lingwu's attitude surprised everyone.

The dignified master of Linghai Sect was actually willing to sacrifice his own life, but he was not willing to let the citizens be kidnapped by Linghai Sect.

What exactly is going on?

The attitude of the sect master inspired all the Linghai Sect disciples, and all the disciples stood in front of Lingwu.

"If you want to take the life of the sect master, you have to kill me!"

"We will definitely protect the sect master, you three will never succeed!"

The disciples were united and the deputy sect master Lingxuan was even more excited.

"You brats who know nothing, do you know what you are doing? What the sect master did was not wrong, but you are the ones who are wrong! If you dare to take a step forward again, don't blame us for being rude!"

Lingxuan was fierce, and he had already taken a fighting stance.

Opposite is the entire Linghai Sect, but there are only Zhou Ran, Qianxun, and Kuangsha on our side. No matter how you look at it, they are at an absolute disadvantage.

If a fight really breaks out, Zhou Ran and others will not be able to save themselves, let alone save the abducted citizens.

"Uncle, why are you doing this?"

With tears in Qianxun's eyes, she questioned Lingwu fiercely.

Lingwu remained calm and said: "Since it has been done, I have nothing to explain."

Qianxun added: "Don't you agree with grandpa's approach? Even a powerful immortal can clear the turbid breath from the body without relying on the soul! Grandpa did it, and he taught me the method and also taught you, Why do you still do this?"

The niece's question made Lingwu dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.

After a long time, Lingwu said: "Qianxun, you are wrong."
