After Xia Feipeng left, Nangong Yun turned to Lan Hao and said.
"Then I will wait for the good news in the Moon Pavilion!"
Lan Hao patted his chest and said confidently.
"No problem, I'll take care of it all!"
At this time, Lan Yue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked in confusion.
"Brother, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd? After talking about it for a long time, I still don't understand it!"
Lan Hao just looked at her with a smile and said nothing.
Seeing her brother's mysterious look, Lan Yue turned to look at Nangong Yun and said angrily.
"Xiaoyun, tell me! Why do I feel like you are using me as a pawn!"
Seeing Lan Yue questioning him with a suspicious look on his face, Nangong Yun just wanted to ask Lan Hao to help him, but Lan Hao spoke first.
"Ah, the weather is so nice today. I'll go to the lake to see the sky first!"
Immediately, he ran to the end of the corridor and heard him shouting from a distance.
"Sister, let Xiaoyun explain it to you! I'll wait for you by the lake and we'll go back to Lingyin City together."
Nangong Yun looked at Lan Yue who turned around slowly, and found her eyes with a hint of anger at this moment, then spread her hands and said with a smile.
"Actually, it's nothing. Brother Lan Hao is just happy that you have achieved your current level of cultivation. I believe your master will be even happier."
"Yeah?"
Lan Yue's voice was deliberately prolonged. In fact, she probably knew what her brother meant, but they made the decision for her without her consent.
"Cough...cough...Lanyue, actually, you know, I..."
"Of course I know, I didn't say I didn't want to."
Lan Yue pursed her red lips and looked sideways with her beautiful eyes.
"Then what are you doing?"
"I just want to speak for myself."
Then I saw Lan Yue lightly stamping her jade feet, snorting, turning around and running towards the lake.
Nangong Yun looked at Lan Yue's pretty figure when she left, couldn't help but smile, shook her head slightly, and said to herself.
"It is indeed a woman's heart, a needle in the sea."
"When did Miss Lan Yue become a woman?"
Nangong Yun suddenly turned around when he heard this, and found Xiao Wan behind him staring at him with big eyes blinking suspiciously.
"Uh...Xiaowan, why don't you make any sound when you walk?"
Nangong Yun squeezed out these words through his teeth.
"Brother Yun, you were focused on Miss Lan Yue, so naturally you didn't notice me!"
Xiaowan's resentful words were filled with helplessness and loss, and her head gradually lowered.
Ever since Nangong Yun rescued her from Wu Laosan of Black Wind Village, she had become dependent on Nangong Yun.
At first, maybe because she was in Black Wind Village, she had no choice but to be with Nangong Yun.
However, as she got along with Nangong Yun for a long time, her initial dependence and gratitude turned into admiration and attachment in a short period of time.
She knew early on that she would probably not get the results she wanted, but she just wanted to try because she was unwilling to do so!
Even though she had learned from her grandfather early in the morning that Nangong Yun might be friends with Lan Yue, she still persisted. Until she saw Lan Yue with her own eyes that night, her heart finally became cold... .
Because she really couldn't imagine how she could beat Lan Yue. She was so perfect, outstanding, and unique. All of this made Xiaowan feel desperate.
Nangong Yun didn't know how to answer or explain.
He didn't even know how to comfort Xiaowan now. Although he had been deliberately avoiding it, many times, things were not as simple as he imagined.
"Xiao Wan, I will leave tomorrow. Moreover, I have asked your grandfather to take charge of Ten Thousand Beasts City. No one will bully you again in the future."
"Um."
"You are a good girl and a good friend of mine."
"Um."
Xiaowan's voice was already inaudible.
Nangong Yun didn't say anything more, and couldn't say anything more.
Because Xiaowan is his friend and he doesn't want to hurt Xiaowan anymore, so shutting up is the best choice!
...
The next day.
City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as Nangong Yun stepped into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he saw a group of people surrounding him.
Most of these people are Wu Tianyong's men, and of course Wu Laosan's men. They all know Nangong Yun, or they all know Yun Mietian.
Because Nangong Yun had a drink with them on the first night he came to the City Lord's Mansion.
They clearly remembered how much Wu Tianyong and Wu Laosan valued and appreciated Nangong Yun, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were as close as brothers.
Moreover, they really are like brothers!
I saw a red-haired old man headed by them cupping his fists and saying to Nangong Yun.
"Young Master Yun, you are finally here. I am preparing to find you. I am Liao Ying, the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion. We drank together at the banquet that day. I wonder if you still remember, Mr. Yun?"
How could Nangong Yun remember such a small character like him? What's more, Nangong Yun didn't know where he was standing at the banquet that night.
However, since we are here to implement the plan today, we naturally need to get acquainted with them first before we can do anything.
Immediately, Nangong Yun also clasped his fists and said politely.
"It turns out to be Butler Liao. Is he here, City Lord? I need to see him if I need anything."
"Master Yun, please follow me to the inner hall to speak."
Liao Ying turned around and waved, and everyone immediately moved out of the way.
Afterwards, Nangong Yun followed Liao Ying to the hall of the city lord's mansion.
Everyone else was standing in the courtyard outside the hall, and no one dared to step forward.
Liao Ying looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he spoke to Nangong Yun.
"Master Yun, something big has happened!"
"Oh? What's the big deal?"
Nangong Yun asked pretending to be surprised.
"The city lord and Mr. Wu went out last night and never came back. We searched in many ways and finally found some traces in an old warehouse behind the city lord's mansion."
"What's going on? Did something happen to the city lord?"
Nangong Yun frowned and asked anxiously.
"Alas, we are not sure, but we found Lei Hu's body in the yard of the old warehouse. He was killed instantly by a master. The old slave can conclude that the cultivation level of the person who killed Lei Hu definitely exceeded that of Yuan Yuan. The eighth level of soul!"
"Oh, do you know who the murderer is?"
Nangong Yun didn't care about how the old guy deduced that the murderer only had the eighth level of Yuanhun cultivation. Instead, he tentatively asked them if they had found any traces.
"That's not true, but I can guess it without asking. It must have been done by Lingyin City!"
At this time, Liao Ying continued with an expression of gritted teeth.
"We also found an underground secret room in the yard. However, we went down to investigate, but we didn't find any clues. The city lord and Master Wu are missing!"
"Ah, could it be that he was kidnapped by people from Lingyin City?"
Nangong Yun had a conversation with Liao Yinggui, he was deliberately delaying time.
Because, according to the plan, Lan Hao and the people from Lingyin City should be attacking soon.
"My guess is that it is most likely true. Now that the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is in danger, I would like to ask Mr. Yun to help spread the information about the City of Ten Thousand Beasts to Wanxiang Mountain. I hope that the mountain sect will send someone to take charge of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts as soon as possible!"
Nangong Yun was a little confused when he heard what he said, and then asked.
"Why didn't you send someone to notify Wanxiang Mountain early in the morning?"
"Master Yun doesn't know. We have sent out three waves of people. However, there has been no news so far. I guess they have all been killed!"
"Who did it?"
"I think the people from Lingyin City have already set up an ambush outside the city to prevent us from getting in touch with the master!"
"If that's the case, how can I break out?"
Nangong Yun continued to ask.
I saw Liao Ying smiling bitterly and saying to Nangong Yun.
“Right now, Mr. Yun, you are the only one with the highest level of cultivation, and you have the greatest chance of successfully breaking through!
Moreover, Young Master, you have just arrived in Ten Thousand Beasts City. People in Lingyin City probably don’t know Young Master. In addition, Young Master, your appearance and charm are different from those of locals from the Western Regions. As long as you claim to be a cultivator from other places, naturally Able to hide it from them. "
Liao Ying's idea was indeed reasonable. Nangong Yun thought in his mind that he was leaving the City of Beasts anyway, but how to get to Wanxiang Mountain was a problem.
However, before Nangong Yun could speak, Liao Ying took out a letter and an exquisite jade plaque from her arms with a smile, presented it to Nangong Yun, and said.
"Master Yun, please read this. This is a message I received from Wanxiang Mountain before. Since the city lord recommended you to the master, Wanxiang Mountain issued a Wanxiang order to recruit you."
After Nangong Yun read the letter, it was indeed as Liao Ying said, the Wanxiang Sect recruited him to go to Wanxiang Mountain with the Wanxiang Order.
Moreover, after entering the school, you can be named a direct disciple and be taught by Wan Zhentian himself.
Nangong Yun carefully looked at the Wanxiang Ling in his hand and found that the jade token was very delicate. It was densely covered with lines, which looked like some kind of engraving. The three words "Wanxiang Ling" were engraved on the front of the token, and there were also inlays on the back. There is a short black gold mark.
Nangong Yun looked up at Liao Ying and said.
"This letter said that I should go to Wanxiang Mountain immediately with the Wanxiang Order. It seems that I have to leave immediately."
At this time, Liao Ying hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at the Wanxiang Ling in Nangong Yun's hand.
"Master Yun, you may get into trouble if you carry this with you. It will be ruined if people from Lingyin City discover it!"
"Oh, but the letter said that I should take the token to Wanxiang Mountain. If the token is lost and there is no token, how can I go up the mountain?"
Nangong Yun asked puzzledly.
Just listen to Liao Ying's mysterious words.
"Master Yun, please look carefully. There is a black gold tag on the back of the Wanxiang Token. As long as you inject a little soul power into the seal on the token, the black gold short tag can be removed. This is the top secret of the Wanxiang Token. It It represents the sect master’s personal presence or the sect master’s direct descendant, and the young master can use it when needed.”
"Oh, is it so?"
Nangong Yun looked at Liao Ying with doubtful eyes.
Liao Ying immediately smiled.
"To be honest, Mr. Yun, this old slave is actually the Wanxiang Envoy of the previous generation of Wanxiang Sect. He is responsible for delivering urgent messages to the master. Therefore, apart from the city lord and Mr. Wu, I am the only one who knows the secret of this Wanxiang Order. , In our Wanxiang Gate, no one dares to disobey the black gold short mark."
Nangong Yun nodded slowly and said.
"If that's the case, I have to leave immediately. I'm afraid that Lingyin City will attack soon. The master must send people to prepare as soon as possible."
"That's right! There are still thousands of disciples and guards in Ten Thousand Beasts City. Even if Lingyin City comes to attack, we can resist for a while. However, whether Ten Thousand Beasts City can be saved in the end depends on Master Yun's ability to spread the news. We have arrived at Wanxiang Mountain, and I would like to thank you, Mr. Yun, for all the brothers!"
After saying that, Liao Ying knelt down.
Nangong Yun looked at Liao Ying kneeling in front of him, and suddenly felt a touch in his heart, but it was fleeting.
