Later, Nangong Yun was dragged by Wu Tianyong and Wu Laosan to drink with everyone.
The banquet didn't end until late at night.
After Nangong Yun was taken to the Moon Pavilion by the guards arranged by Wu Tianyong, Wu Laosan came to Wu Tianyong.
"Second brother, how are you? This Yun Mietian only has the strength of the seventh level of Yuanhun on the surface, but he can defeat Xia Feipeng in one move. His talent and qualifications, the master will definitely be satisfied."
"Well, this boy is good. He is young and frivolous, and has no ambition. I like him. You should communicate with him more and try to meet his needs. I will send a message to the master tomorrow. I believe there will be a reply soon."
Wu Tianyong nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Yes, second brother!"
Then, Wu Laosan approached Wu Tianyong and whispered in his ear.
"Two more to go."
"It's too late, so let's search in the city, be careful not to make too much noise, and gather them together on a full moon night!"
"OK."
Wu Laosan agreed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wu Tianyong again.
"Don't send people to monitor the Moon Pavilion!"
"Understood!"
...
It was already late at night when Nangong Yun returned to the Moon Pavilion.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion took Nangong Yun to the entrance of Shuixie and left.
Nangong Yun did not enter the Moon Covering Pavilion immediately after the guards left, but patrolled around the entire waterside pavilion.
Not only did he want to familiarize himself with the terrain here, but he was also checking to see if anyone was watching around him.
Nangong Yun must be very cautious now, because he is planning to take action in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
However, what satisfied Nangong Yun was that Wu Tianyong was quite smart and knew that his cultivation was advanced, so he simply allowed him to live alone in the Moon Covering Pavilion.
Back in the pavilion, Xiaowan was still waiting for him in the hall. Seeing Nangong Yun return, she happily came forward to welcome him.
"Brother Yun, how are you? Is everything going well?"
"Well, Wu Tianyong is not suspicious for the time being, but we still have to be careful!"
Nangong Yun nodded slightly and said.
"When I came back just now, I checked the entire area around the waterside pavilion. They didn't send anyone to monitor you. In two days, if everything is OK, you can go home."
However, when Xiaowan heard Nangong Yun say this, she pouted and turned away.
"Brother Yun is so anxious to send Xiaowan away? Do you think I'm troublesome?"
Seeing Xiao Wan like this, Nangong Yun was also amused. Xiao Wan was really sensitive, so he smiled immediately.
"I just asked you to go back home. Of course you will come back."
When Xiaowan heard this, she immediately said happily.
"Brother Yun, you are so kind!"
Then he stepped forward and took Nangong Yun's arm and said.
"Brother Yun, you must be tired. Let's go rest."
"Well....."
"What's wrong?"
Nangong Yun suddenly looked at Xiaowan awkwardly and said with a dry smile.
"Xiao Wan, there should be extra rooms in the Moon Pavilion, and Wu Laosan and the others are not here either..."
Nangong Yun didn't finish his words.
Because he noticed some changes in Xiaowan's expression, but he couldn't act like this anymore.
Xiao Wan naturally understood the meaning of Nangong Yun's words, her cheeks were slightly blushing, and then she agreed in a low voice, and went back to the room alone with a slight loss.
Nangong Yun came to the small pool in the water pavilion and sat down quietly.
He wanted to get rid of the smell of alcohol on his body, and at the same time, he also had to carefully plan his next plan.
Now, he has successfully entered the City of Beasts and gained Wu Tianyong's initial trust, so he can start investigating where the people they captured are being held!
Also, what Wu Laosan said on the road today about Wu Tianyong, they are only two people away now, but they don’t know when Wu Tianyong is going to take action.
Just as Nangong Yun was thinking, Master Huo appeared.
"If he gathers the people he needs, he will probably choose to do it on a full moon night!"
After hearing Master Huo's speculation, Nangong Yun also nodded and said.
"That's right, his soul-seeking technique requires the help of the mysterious yin energy of heaven and earth. The full moon night is just right for him to practice. I just don't know what is happening to the people he captured."
"Probably just locked up."
Master Huo said this. Nangong Yun didn't know much about this soul-seeking technique, but he had heard Master Huo mention it before.
"Is it possible they've been killed?"
Nangong Yun asked a little uncertainly.
"I don't think so. He should be peeling off the souls of the ninety-nine people at the same time on a full moon night, and then integrating them again. In that case, the success rate will be higher, because this soul-retrieving technique is too It is too evil, and every time it is used, it will greatly consume the user's life breath, so Wu Tianyong looks half-dead."
"Oh, there are only a few days until the full moon night. It seems that I have to find out where those people are being held as soon as possible."
Lord Huo suddenly thought of something again and continued.
"His soul-seeking method requires an altar. Judging from the number of people, the altar should be quite large. It must be in a place that can receive moonlight on a full-moon night."
"Oh, it's not hard to find if that's the case."
With Master Huo's advice, Nangong Yun finally had an idea.
"Without further ado, they have just finished drinking. This is a good opportunity to investigate. They must not have thought that I would leave and come back."
"Haha, be careful!"
Master Huo didn't object.
Nangong Yun took a short rest, and after the alcohol smell dissipated from his body, he walked back to the city lord's mansion along the road, but this time he couldn't go through the main entrance.
Based on what he saw when he entered the mansion in the afternoon, Nangong Yun explored all the places except the lobby.
Although the city lord's palace is not as big as the Nanyue Palace, there are still many pavilions and pavilions. Although Nangong Yun has extremely fast movement and speed, it was not until dawn that he basically completed the investigation.
But to his disappointment, he searched all the places in the city lord's palace and still found no clues.
"Could it be that Wu Tianyong didn't set up the altar in the city lord's palace?"
Nangong Yun was wondering when he suddenly noticed a person walking out of the lobby.
The man wore a black robe covering his whole body and walked hurriedly towards the backyard of the mansion, disappearing in the dim night in an instant.
With Nangong Yun's cultivation level, he immediately realized that this person was Wu Tianyong!
He was in his mansion so late at night, yet he was dressed like this, looking like he was going somewhere in a hurry. Nangong Yun felt a little strange, and immediately followed him.
Maybe it was because he was in his own mansion that Wu Tianyong was not too vigilant. Besides, Nangong Yun's cultivation was not weak, so there was no chance of being discovered by following him.
Not long after, Wu Tianyong was seen coming to a rockery in the back garden of the mansion, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Nangong Yun was surprised to find that Wu Tianyong suddenly disappeared. He walked to the rockery and explored around.
I noticed a wisp of microwaves appeared on the surface of the mountain, as smooth and gentle as water.
After he walked in and looked carefully, he discovered that it turned out to be a restricted entrance to the passage.
Nangong Yun tried to slowly let out his soul power along his fingertips, making contact with the entrance barrier.
I felt a strange and extremely cold air coming towards me. Fortunately, Nangong Yun was possessed of spiritual fire and could resist this cold air instantly.
This restriction is really evil. Nangong Yun tried many times but still couldn't lift it.
At this time, I only heard Master Huo say.
"Try entering directly without using soul power!"
Nangong Yun was puzzled after hearing this, but he expected that Master Huo had a point in what he said, so he put away the soul power of his fingertips and stepped into the restricted barrier on foot.
However, the strange thing was that Nangong Yun actually went in directly. With a look of disbelief on his face, he quietly asked Lord Huo.
"What's going on? The restriction is still there, why did I get in so easily?"
"This restriction barrier is for cultivators. It's just too low-level. If you don't release your soul power, this restriction will not be able to sense your cultivation. An ordinary person can pass through this restriction at will."
After hearing Master Huo's explanation, Nangong Yun suddenly realized. No wonder Wu Tianyong came here just now. He didn't see any action to lift the restriction, but he suddenly disappeared. That's what happened.
Nangong Yun stopped lingering and walked forward along the narrow passage stairs.
He spread his soul perception to dozens of feet in front of him, so that if he found anything abnormal, he could react in time.
Coupled with the fact that it was pitch dark in the passage and he couldn't see his fingers, Nangong Yun could only use his soul perception as a guide to move forward slowly.
Before entering the rockery passage, I really couldn't tell that although the rockery was not big, there was such a long passage inside.
Based on what he had just walked along, Nangong Yun felt that this narrow passage seemed to be slowly descending.
This makes sense. The passage in this rockery should lead to a secret place underground.
Nangong Yun guessed in his heart that if his prediction was correct, there must be an underground secret room where Wu Tianyong detained those people.
Sure enough, after traveling about five or six hundred meters, a flickering fire appeared at the end of the passage. It seemed that they were almost there.
Nangong Yun was in the passage leading to the underground secret room at this time. He had to figure out the situation in the secret room ahead as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Wu Tianyong wanted to return to the ground at this time, they would definitely collide.
Therefore, Nangong Yun quickened his pace and moved towards the bright place. After a while, he quietly entered the underground secret room.
This underground secret room was much larger than he had imagined, even no less than the Moon Covering Pavilion where he lived.
There are many branching passages leading in different directions in the secret chamber. The four walls of each passage are illuminated by open flames, and the entire underground secret chamber is brightly lit.
But Nangong Yun couldn't help but feel strange. From the moment he entered the rockery passage, he was at least five or six hundred meters away from this underground secret room. However, in such a deep and airtight basement, the flames on the four walls could actually be normal. combustion.
Then there is only one possibility, there are other exits here!
