What happened in Duobao Pavilion spread throughout Qianyuan City like the wind, and countless people knew about it.
Ying Jing, a disciple of the Yingtian Shenzong, launched a war. The other force was the Haotian Palace from Beihu County.
As for the cause of the incident, there are two theories.
The first theory is that Xiao Muyang, the master of Haotian Palace, robbed Ying Jing's treasure, and Ying Jing asked for it. Instead of refusing, Xiao Muyang attacked him sneakily, and Ying Jing launched a fight in anger.
Another theory is that the treasure originally belonged to Xiao Muyang, and Ying Jing wanted to exchange it with it, but Xiao Muyang refused, and a conflict broke out between the two, which led to the war.
Both theories are supported by many people, but in fact, many people were present at the time and witnessed what happened with their own eyes. What is strange is that no one stood up to explain the truth, and they seemed to have disappeared.
The Yingtian Divine Sect is a powerful force in Donghua Palace, and Haotian Palace is naturally unable to compete with it. Now the people of Haotian Palace are on the run, and no one knows their whereabouts.
…………
In the city lord's palace, a meeting hall, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a brown robe sitting on the main seat. He looked to be in his forties, with a handsome face and sharp edges. There was a sense of majesty in his eyes, as if he had been in a high position for a long time.
The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat is none other than Wei Yuan, the city lord of Qianyuan City. There are many figures standing in front of him with extremely serious faces. They are the commanders of the city lord's mansion.
With such a big thing happening, the City Lord's Mansion will naturally pay attention.
Qianyuan City is known as the city of battles. It is common for battles to break out, and there is no need to be too concerned about it. However, there is some controversy about the battle that occurred this time.
There are some rumors that this battle was initiated by Ying Jing and that Haotian Palace did not accept the challenge.
Although the rumors may not be credible, Qianyuan City has always been famous for its strict rules in Donghua Mansion. If it is not thoroughly investigated, it will have no prestige in the future, and more people will violate the rules. The name of the Battle City Nature ceases to exist.
"Can you find anyone who is present to witness this?" Wei Yuan looked at the crowd in front and asked.
"The scene was extremely chaotic. Although many people saw the battle, most of them rushed there after the battle. They did not see what happened. It is difficult to get reliable evidence from them." Only one person responded. road.
"So far, no one who witnessed the whole process has come forward to give evidence. They probably don't want to get involved. After all, one of the parties is the Yingtian Shenzong."
Wei Yuan frowned, this matter was more difficult than he thought.
Yingtian Shenzong is a major force in Donghua Mansion. Although it is not in Qianyuan City, its intimidation power is still very strong. If they want to cover up the truth, they have this ability.
"There is one person who can provide evidence." Suddenly someone said.
"Who is it?" Wei Yuan immediately looked at the speaker.
"Young Master of Tongtian Tower, Shangguan Yun." The man replied: "Many people claimed to have heard Shangguan Yun's voice. He testified about that battle. This shows that he was present at the time and knew what happened. "
"He is right. Shangguan Yun was indeed present, and we can get the truth from his mouth." Another person agreed.
"Shangguanyun." Wei Yuan murmured, with an unfathomable meaning in his eyes. After a moment, he looked up at the crowd in front and said, "Come, go to the Tongtian Tower to summon Shangguan Yun."
"As ordered." There was a response immediately, and then someone left the hall.
…………
Not long after, a young figure was seen coming into the meeting hall. This young man was Shangguan Yun.
"Shangguanyun pays homage to the city lord." Shangguan Yun bowed to Wei Yuan with a respectful expression. Even though he was the young master of Tongtian Tower, he still did not have any arrogance in front of Wei Yuan.
Just because Wei Yuan is the controller of Qianyuan City.
"I called you here because I have some questions to ask." Wei Yuan said straight to the point.
"If this junior guessed correctly, it should be related to what happened in Duobao Pavilion." Shangguan Yun replied.
"That's right." Wei Yuan nodded lightly, looked at Shangguan Yun and asked, "You claimed to be a witness to that battle, so did you witness the entire incident?"
"This junior witnessed it with my own eyes." Shangguan Yun said calmly.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Wei Yuan continued to ask.
"Ying Jing and a Haotian Temple disciple took a fancy to a treasure at the same time. The Haotian Temple disciple completed the transaction first. In order to get the treasure, Ying Jing promised to exchange it for ten times the price. The other party refused, but Ying Jing still refused. Give up and keep dealing with it.”
"Later, Xiao Muyang, the master of Haotian Palace, arrived. After learning what happened, he not only angrily scolded Ying Jing for bullying others, but also attacked him unprepared. If I hadn't been there at the time and stopped him, Ying Jing would have died."
"After Ying Jing got out of trouble, he was so angry that he launched a battle against Haotian Palace." Shangguan Yun replied, "This is what happened."
Shangguan Yun's tone was very calm from beginning to end, as if he was stating a fact from an objective standpoint.
Wei Yuan's face looked extremely serious. He looked at Shangguan Yun and asked, "What were the lineups of Yingtian Divine Sect and Haotian Temple at that time?"
"The Yingtian Divine Sect is stronger." Shangguan Yun replied truthfully.
"Since the Yingtian Divine Sect's lineup is stronger, why does Xiao Muyang dare to take action against Yingjing?" Wei Yuan continued to ask, staring at Shangguan Yun, releasing a faint pressure.
Shangguan Yun's expression froze for a moment, but he reacted very quickly and immediately responded: "In order to get the treasure, Ying Jing's words were a bit excessive. He must have angered Xiao Muyang, so that he took action regardless of anything."
"No one expected Xiao Muyang to take action at that time, so he was allowed to succeed." Shangguan Yun added again, with a very calm expression. This is the fact.
"Is it just excessive words?" Wei Yuan asked in a deep voice, "Did Ying Jing do anything excessive?"
"No." Shangguan Yun replied firmly. He naturally knew what should be admitted and what should not be admitted.
Wei Yuan took a deep look at Shangguan Yun and waved his hand: "I have nothing else to ask. You can go back."
"Thank you City Lord." Shangguan Yun bowed and left the hall.
"Thank you City Lord." Shangguan Yun bowed and left the hall. The moment he walked out of the hall, a smile of success appeared in his eyes. Everything was as expected.
He expected that Wei Yuan would come to him for questioning, so he had thought of an excuse before and put the responsibility on Xiao Muyang. He was just a witness and could not be involved.
However, those people from Haotian Palace have all escaped, and their whereabouts are now unknown. Their existence is a variable that needs to be resolved immediately.
To put it bluntly, even if they complain in front of the city lord, their words alone cannot prove anything. However, this is not a good thing for them after all. They still need to find those people as soon as possible and completely eliminate the hidden dangers.
Shangguan Yun's eyes flickered, and then he quickly left the city lord's mansion.
…………
In a private room in Yuewang Tower, two figures were seen sitting inside. These two people were Shangguan Yun and Ying Jing.
"Why did Brother Shangguan invite me here?" Ying Jing looked at Shangguan Yun with doubtful eyes and asked.
"Not long ago, the city lord called me over for questioning." Shangguan Yun said, which made Ying Jing's heart tremble and his face became a little nervous. Is the city lord's palace paying attention to this matter?
Seeing the nervous look on Ying Jing's face, Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "You don't have to be too nervous. I'm naturally on your side."
"That's very good. Thank you so much, Brother Shangguan." Ying Jing thanked him and he breathed a sigh of relief. With Shangguan Yun testifying for him, the City Lord's Mansion didn't have to worry.
"However, this matter is not over yet."
Just listen to Shangguan Yun speak again: "Now the people of Haotian Palace are on the run. If they are not dealt with, once they spread the matter, it will have a big impact on your and my reputation. Moreover, over there at the City Lord's Mansion It will also attract attention and you can’t predict what will happen.”
This matter was originally a grudge between Xiao Muyang and Ying Jing and had nothing to do with Shangguan Yun. However, since he perjured Ying Jing, he was involved in it. If the truth is revealed in the future, he will not be able to escape the blame.
In addition, there is actually another reason.
Xiao Muyang dismissed him in public, making him unable to stand up in front of everyone. If not, he would not have done such a terrible thing.
Now he has no way out. Only by killing Xiao Muyang and others can this matter be completely over.
Ying Jing was not an idiot and naturally understood the meaning of Shangguan Yun's words.
I saw a hint of thinking in his eyes, and then he said: "Brother Shangguan is right. Those people cannot be let go, but they have been hidden. Finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack, which is easier said than done."
"You and I will each send some people to secretly search for their whereabouts and offer a large reward for information about them. There should be a chance to find them." Shangguan Yun said.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. Unless they hide forever, their whereabouts will be exposed sooner or later.
"Okay, just do as Brother Shangguan said." Ying Jing nodded.
"I'll take my leave first." Shangguan Yun stood up, and Ying Jing personally sent him out of the private room.
But Shangguan Yun did not leave the Yuewang Tower directly, and then went to pay a visit to another person, who was Qi Fan, the crown prince of Yue Wang.
The subordinates sent out before came back to report that he could have killed Xiao Muyang, but Qi Fan's close bodyguards suddenly appeared and saved Xiao Muyang's life.
Therefore, he had to go to Qi Fan's place.
The name was of course a visit. As the young master of Babel Tower, it was reasonable for him to visit Qi Fan and would not arouse suspicion from others.
Of course, his real intention was to find out whether Xiao Muyang was by Qi Fan's side now.
If Xiao Muyang has taken refuge with Qi Fan, then this matter will be in big trouble!
