After leaving the city lord's mansion.

Ye Lingyue, Di Xin and others were all thoughtful.

"I'm so angry. That's the person who kidnapped Senior Brother Xiaochuan just now. But after a long time, he turned his back on me and refused to acknowledge me. Do you think Senior Brother Xiaochuan will be harmed by them?"

Huang Jun frowned.

"Fifty thousand spiritual stones is not a small amount, and the person was indeed captured by the City Lord's Mansion. They are denying it right now. There are only two possibilities." Senior Sister Wan Yun was experienced after all, and she started to analyze.

"Yes, the manager is a greedy person at first glance. Being able to let him give up such a big benefit means that there is a greater benefit, or there is someone behind the order, so he has to give up the spirit stone. Today's Golden City is still

Who can make the manager have to bow his head?" Emperor Xin asked Huang Jun.

"Don't play dumb riddles with me one by one. You know I'm not very smart, but you still fool me one by one," Huang Jun said anxiously.

"There can only be two people. One is the city lord of Jinzhi City, but the city lord is basically ignored now. Then there is only one other person left, that is, the staff of the city lord's mansion." Ye Lingyue saw that Huang Jun was really anxious.

Then he opened his mouth to explain.

"Then what should we do? How about we sneak into the city lord's mansion tonight, and if we delay it any longer, Senior Brother Xiaochuan's life will really be in danger. He did this for me, and I can't let him die.

Help," Huang Jun said urgently.

"It can't be that simple. The city lord's palace is surrounded by tight security."

When Emperor Xin was outside the gate of the city lord's palace, he carefully observed the surrounding area.

Except for the exception of the city lord's mansion, there were heavy troops ambushed.

Di Xin can be sure that if they didn't leave in time just now, if they really wanted to start a fight with the people in the City Lord's Mansion, they would probably end up with something bad.

After all, this is still on the territory of Jinzhi City, and it is difficult for a strong dragon to fight against a local snake.

What Di Xin was most afraid of was that for some reason, although the ambushers had strong energy fluctuations all over their bodies and all of them had extraordinary skills, they were not breathing.

I don't know if those people have concealed their aura, or if those masters who ambush in secret are not human at all.

Ye Lingyue, whose mental power had greatly increased, also noticed a similar situation.

"This won't work, that won't work either. If it doesn't happen, we'll just sit back and wait for death," Huang Jun said angrily.

The four of them were silent and returned to the inn together.

The owner of the inn looked terrified when he saw the four people, fearing that Ye Lingyue and others would get angry with him because of Qin Xiaochuan's incident.

"boss."

Ye Lingyue drank.

The boss grunted in fright and tried to hide under the counter.

Unexpectedly, Di Xin was faster than him. He reached out with his long arms and picked up the shopkeeper like a little chicken.

In front of the tall Emperor Xin, the shopkeeper was like a child, half hanging in the air.

"My washerwoman is asking you something."

"Sir, please spare your lives. I have no choice but to have you, my subordinates, and my elders. If we don't report it, the people from the City Lord's Mansion will kill my whole family."

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"I'm not pursuing this matter against you. I just want to ask you something about Golden City. I'm asking you, has anything strange happened in Golden City in the past six months?"

Ye Lingyue glanced at the shopkeeper.

"No, it's nothing."

The shopkeeper thought about it and couldn't think of a reason.

"You'd better think again, or you'll end up like this thing."

Senior Sister Wan Yun held the Sirius stick in her hand, and tapped the end of the stick on the counter. Suddenly, with a snap, the counter, which was built with hard stone, was shattered into pieces.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.

He looked at the stick holding Senior Sister Yun, and suddenly remembered something.

"Sir, I don't know if there is anything unusual happening in the city, but I just remembered something. I've seen the stick in your hand before."

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Di Xin loosened his hands so that the shopkeeper could calm down and speak properly.

"You have seen this stick, where it is, and who is holding it. Don't make a mistake."

Only then did everyone remember that they had been searching for clues in the city that Zhao Tianlang had been here half a year ago. They had asked everywhere, but they had forgotten to ask the owner of this inn.

"I have indeed seen it, probably more than six months ago. It was around the time when the lanterns were held, and several people came to stay. One of the male guests had this stick on his back. It was so big and had patterns on it.

, I’m sure I won’t remember it wrong.” In order to save his life, the shopkeeper wanted to tell everything he knew and didn’t know.

"Do you recognize the person who is with that man?" Senior Sister Wan Yun asked.

"There were three people at that time, one of whom was carrying a stick, and the other seemed to be a scribe carrying a piano or something behind his back, but those two were not from Jinzhicheng. But the last one, I recognized him.

This person is Situ Nan from the City Lord's Mansion. However, Master Situ was not a staff member of the City Lord's Mansion at that time." The shopkeeper thought for a moment and was a little embarrassed, but in the end he was shocked by Di Xin's eyes that could kill someone, and he hesitated to speak.

.

Situ Nan, the alchemist from the City Lord's Mansion who is extremely skilled in elixirs and weapons?

When the four of them heard this, their eyes darkened. Zhao Tianlang's death was indeed related to the City Lord's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the third person who contacted Zhao Tianlang was him.

When the shopkeeper saw that the four people stopped talking, he sneaked away.

"We can't stay in this inn anymore. Let's leave first. Tomorrow morning, we'll split up to find out about Situ Nan from the City Lord's Mansion."

Senior Sister Wan Yun is the oldest among the four, and the four of them agreed to temporarily follow Senior Sister Wan Yun's command.

On the second day, the four of them went to the city to inquire about the news.

Around noon, Senior Sister Ye Lingyue, Di Xin, and Wanyun came back one after another.

But what disappointed them was that there was very little information about this Situ Nan. His origins and cultivation were unknown. Apart from his name, there were also very few people who had seen him.

The only thing that can be known is that he was about thirty years old and came to Jinzhi City more than half a year ago. He entered Jinzhi City in the name of treating the city lord's illness.

After another half an hour, Huang Jun came back.

"I got a piece of news, but I don't know if it's a piece of news. The thing is like this, this morning, when I was inquiring about the news in the city, I happened to pass by the training ground, which is where the Vajra Formation is, and I heard some newbies

, are complaining. The content of their complaints is nothing more than that since Situ Nan obtained the City Lord's Mansion and redesigned the new Vajra Formation, very few novices can pass the assessment. In the past six months, those who have passed the novice assessment have increased

Senior Brother Shang Xiaochuan, there are only thirteen people."

"Wait a minute, Huang Jun, can you find out the list of the twelve novices who have passed the examination except for Senior Brother Ogawa?"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. After Ye Lingyue heard the news, an idea flashed through her mind. She felt that she should have discovered some important clues.
