The senluo mother vine suddenly disappeared.

Ye Lingyue fell to the ground.

Behind him, Xi Jiuye's face was ashen.

"You don't want your life, you were almost swallowed by the dark demon plant just now."

Xi Jiuye also just discovered that there was actually a spiritual weapon in that painting, and a dark magic plant was sealed in it.

If he had taken one step slower just now, Ye Lingyue might have been sucked into the painting.

By this time, she had long since died.

When he thought of this, Xi Jiuye had the urge to burn that damn painting completely.

Ye Lingyue looked up at the painting.

The painting is still hanging on the wall, but the monsters originally on the painting have disappeared.

The **Senluo Mother Vine and Senluo Ghost Fruit King cannot be preserved in the jade box.

Moreover, the Senluo Ghost Fruit King is not mature yet and needs to continuously devour souls in order to continue to grow.

I don’t know where the Lord of Wanxiang City came from such a magical painting array, but it can actually seal the Senluo Mother Vine inside. It only needs to release some monsters regularly to allow the Ghost Fruit King to continue to grow.

Seeing the frightened look on Ye Lingyue's face, Xi Jiuye's expression relaxed slightly as he originally had a long face.

Ye Lingyue raised her hand, and the piece of animal skin paper fell into Xi Jiuye's hand.

"We're settled."

After saying that, Ye Lingyue got up and walked out.

Even though Xi Jiuye saved her, Ye Lingyue still didn't feel the slightest bit grateful.

To him, she really couldn't say thank you.

Behind him, Xi Jiuye watched Ye Lingyue leave without looking back, holding the animal skin paper tightly in his hand.

Not long after leaving the underground treasure house, Ye Lingyue immediately entered Hongmengtian. In this way, even if Xi Jiuye wanted to track her, there was no way.

In Hongmeng Tian, ​​Ye Lingyue's thoughts gradually calmed down.

The whereabouts of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King had been discovered, but she asked herself that there was no way she could take it away.

I don’t know what the Lord of Wanxiang City is planning to do when he leaves King Senluo Ghost Fruit in the Lord’s Mansion.

Ye Lingyue thought about it over and over again, but couldn't come up with a clue.

Until dawn, Ye Lingyue thought that the search of the City Lord's Mansion should be over, and then she left Hongmengtian.

The security at the City Lord's Mansion was indeed much looser during the day.

However, there were many more guards patrolling in the direction of the underground treasure house last night.

I think the Lord of Vientiane City also discovered afterwards that someone destroyed the formation last night.

After last night, I'm afraid it won't be easy to break into the city lord's palace again and take a look at the painting.

Ye Lingyue sighed, took out an invisible pill, returned the same way, and left the city lord's mansion.

After Ye Lingyue left, Xi Jiuye also walked out of the city lord's mansion.

He doesn't look good.

Last night, that damn woman disappeared after leaving the underground treasure house.

Even though he searched all night, he couldn't find anyone.

That woman seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Only then did Xi Jiuye realize that the woman's cold scoff last night was not a joke.

Even without him, she could still leave the City Lord's Mansion smoothly.

Fortunately, at dawn, he inquired and found out that no one from the City Lord's Mansion found the assassin last night.

He felt relieved now, but why should he worry about women.

A woman who is careless and can't even say "thank you".

Xi Jiuye left the city lord's mansion with a dark face, a cold air all over his body, and a lot of resentment.

Ye Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to the inn.

Just as he was about to enter the door, he found Guangzi looking around at the entrance of the inn. Seeing Ye Lingyue walking over, Guangzi hurriedly greeted her.

"Ling Yue, you are back. Someone is looking for you."

After Ye Lingyue heard this, her heart thumped and she thought to herself.

"It can't be that guy Xi Jiuye again, he is really haunted."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she realized that the person waiting for her was not Xi Jiuye, but Mrs. Danyu and a strange elder waiting in the inn.

"Ling Yue, the Lord of Wanxiang City and Mrs. Danyu are looking for you. They came early in the morning. When they learned that you were not here last night, they still refused to leave. They have been waiting inside for a long time."

Photon said as he walked.

Ye Lingyue stiffened when she heard this, and looked at Guangzi. This guy was really selling out his teammates. Now he was in trouble.

Ye Lingyue took a deep breath and excused herself to let Guangzi take care of Ye Liuyun. After sending her away, she stood outside the inn for a while and then walked in.

"I didn't know that the city lord and Mrs. Danyu were here, so I kept you two waiting for so long. I'm extremely sorry."

As soon as Ye Lingyue entered the door, she was polite.

Mrs. Danyu looked at Ye Lingyue with a clear face, half-smiling but not smiling.

"Captain Ye, I heard that you went out last night?"

After hearing this, the Lord of Vientiane City also glanced at Ye Lingyue.

Only then did Ye Lingyue see clearly the true face of this famous Lord of Wanxiang City in Lushan.

This man is about fifty years old, with a short gray-white beard, a broad forehead and broad eyebrows. Although he is well-kept, his eyes are sharp, and at a glance, he seems to be able to see through people's hearts.

Ye Lingyue had a feeling that the Lord of Wanxiang City and Mrs. Danyu had known for a long time that she was the one who broke into the Lord's Mansion last night.

Or rather, they set up a trap together to let Ye Lingyue break into the city lord's palace.

However, originally they planned to catch her, but she accidentally escaped.

It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Now that people have come to the door, Ye Lingyue calmed down.

She met the eyes of the Lord of Wanxiang City and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"City Lord, Mrs. Danyu. One of my spiritual pets happened to get lost outside last night. I searched for it all night and finally found it."

After saying that, a small head poked out of Ye Lingyue's arms.

Xiao Zhiyo, who had just been summoned from the Heaven and Earth Formation, shouted in full cooperation.

To catch thieves and stolen goods, you have to do it in pairs. Anyway, the other party didn't catch anyone, so Ye Lingyue bit him to death and refused to admit it.

After hearing this, Mrs. Danyu pursed her lips and smiled.

The Lord of Wanxiang City glanced at Xiao Zhiyo in Ye Lingyue's arms.

"Captain Ye, this is a coincidence. A lost little beast happened to break into my house last night."

"That's such a coincidence."

Ye Lingyue laughed twice.

"You two, please don't entrust me to the virtual snake there. Captain Ye, just admit it. You were the one who broke into the city lord's mansion last night. To be honest, I will tell you the whereabouts of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

It’s just to lure you to the City Lord’s Mansion. This is just a bet between the City Lord and I.”

Mrs. Danyu couldn't stand hearing it anymore, so she admitted it herself first.

Ye Lingyue raised her eyebrows and did not answer immediately.

"That's right, Captain Ye, thanks to you, I won the bet this time. As a thank you, I won't pursue the matter of your trespassing into the City Lord's Mansion this time."

The Lord of Vientiane City also nodded and laughed.
