Lin Chen didn't expect that Shangguan Mingdao's purpose would be so simple.

This even, a little bit made Lin Chen unbelievable.

However, Shangguan Mingdao's expression had already proved that what he said at the moment was indeed true.

"Ridiculous?"

Looking at Lin Chen in front of him, Shangguan Mingdao opened his mouth and said, "In your opinion, this may be a very ridiculous idea. ”

"Actually, it seems ridiculous to me now."

"However, I am not a genius, even with the help of demons, I can only reach the level of the Nine Realms of Martial Arts, so I have no ability to protect Qiutan City at all, and I can't make Qiutan City a place outside the world that will never be disturbed by war."

"I can only gradually destroy Qiutan City through this long method, after all, in my opinion, only in this way can I truly avoid the occurrence of pain."

"Maybe if my plan is not broken, I can still make a name in history and end up with a good reputation even if I try to protect the city and die."

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have any big ideals and ambitions."

"Anyway, that's why I do all this."

"If you hadn't really stopped me today, when I truly took control of Qiutan City, I would have given death to everyone in the city, and then with this city, it would perish forever in the long river of history."

At this moment, Shangguan Mingdao had a self-deprecating smile on his face, and he sat there without speaking.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, his expression gradually calmed down, he had already got the answer he wanted, and there was no need to continue to stay here.

But when he turned around and was about to leave, Shangguan Mingdao's voice came again.

"Lin Chen."

After a pause, Lin Chen subconsciously looked at Shangguan Mingdao.

"I couldn't use my methods to defend Qiutan City, I hope you can use your methods to defend this city."

"Ruining that formation outside the city, we must not let the demon's plan succeed."

"You can rest assured, now the demons stationed outside Qiutan City have already left, and there are only a few old demons left, their strength is not very strong, even if they know that the formation is broken, they don't dare to start a war with Qiutan City at all."

Lin Chen frowned: "Then why?" ”

"Why do I have to do things for demons?"

Shangguan Mingdao smiled and said, "The demons stationed outside Qiutan City have indeed left, but the demons have not really disappeared. ”

"Moreover, the formation outside this Qiutan City is just one of the formations they have constructed for them."

"I can tell you clearly, the situation of Qiutan City is definitely not unique, on the land of Yingzhou, there are too many people like me, and there are too many cities like Qiutan City."

The calm voice made Lin Chen's heart already set off turbulent waves, but Shangguan Mingdao had already seen through Lin Chen's thoughts, and he slowly spoke: "The demon plan has been implemented for hundreds of years, and Qiutan City is just one of them. ”

"If you want to really stop the demons, it's basically impossible."

"That's all I know, if you want to know more, seven hundred miles north from Qiutan City, there is an ancient canal, follow the river all the way, you can reach the demon station, maybe there is something that can interest you in that place."

Hearing this, the shock in Lin Chen's heart became even stronger.

He didn't expect things to come this far.

After taking a deep look at Shangguan Mingdao, Lin Chen slowly spoke: "Thank you for informing me." ”

Glancing at Shangguan Mingdao again, Lin Chen left directly.

Poof!

As soon as he reached the door of the cell, he suddenly heard a muffled grunt.

Turning his head to look, he found that Shangguan Mingdao had fallen in a pool of blood.

There was a complicated color in his eyes, and after all, he didn't do anything and left the death row directly.

As soon as he got out of death row, Lin Chen saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Lin, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

……

The two soon came to a tavern, and after taking their seats, Wan Qi spoke, "What did Shangguan Mingdao say?" ”

Lin Chen drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and repeated what Shangguan Mingdao said to Wan Qian, and after listening, Wan Qian's face also showed a shocked expression.

"I didn't expect that Shangguan Mingdao's reason was so simple."

Lin Chen nodded, he didn't say to Wan Qi the words about the demon actions mentioned by Shangguan Mingdao, not that he didn't believe Wan Qian, and it wasn't because he didn't believe in Confucianism.

But just like Shangguan Mingdao's worries before, such a big thing is not something that others will believe when he says it, and rashly mentioning this matter will delay the fighter.

Moreover, such a huge change, even if he didn't mention it, those really huge sects would have already been aware of it, and maybe they had already made relevant plans.

If he intervenes, something will inevitably go wrong.

"What are Brother Lin's plans next?"

Wan Qian's voice interrupted Lin Chen's thoughts, and after glancing at Wan Qian in surprise, Lin Chen opened his mouth and said: "The problem of Qiutan City has been settled, and then I plan to travel around first, take a look at the customs and customs of this Yingzhou land, and by the way, look for what I want to find." ”

Wan Qian frowned when he heard this, and then said, "When do you plan to leave?" ”

Glancing at the wine glass in his hand, Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll leave after drinking these wines with you." ”

"In such a hurry?"

Wan Qian said, "Don't you plan to meet His Royal Highness Ouyang City Lord Jiu?" ”

"Also, my husband wants to meet you."

"Speaking of which, Sir has great respect for what you have done, and told me that I must meet you when I have the opportunity, and if possible, I would like to invite you to Confucianism."

"My husband still attaches great importance to your previous theories."

Lin Chen didn't expect that his casual words would really attract the attention of the gentleman from Yingqian Academy.

However, at present, he has no plans to make contact with these real heirloom forces.

After all, his current ability is still too weak, and once he is truly exposed to the world, there will inevitably be some problems.

After all, long before entering this Yingzhou, he had already learned from Zhu Changge's mouth that Jiang Chuan was still alive.

Among these Yingzhou, he is most worried about Jiangchuan.

That person had already mastered such terrifying power in the original world, what kind of combat power would he have when he arrived in this Yingzhou, Lin Chen couldn't be sure at all.

Anyway, it's not time for him to make too big a move.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your gentleman's kindness for me, but I'm afraid I don't have a chance now." ”

"Maybe I'll go to Yingqian Academy in the future, and when the time comes, you and I will have a good time."

Wan Qi wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he never mentioned it again.

"That's right."

He took out a token from his waist, handed it to Lin Chen and said, "This is the token that His Royal Highness Nine entrusted me to bring you, and the person who holds this token is equivalent to a heavy city lord of this jackdaw, and has the right to directly enter the palace." ”

"His Royal Highness the Ninth said that if you have the opportunity, I hope you can go to the Jackdaw King City."

Glancing at the token in his hand, Lin Chen nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"It's not too early, dry this glass of wine, you and my brother, don't say goodbye."

There was reluctance in Wan Qian's eyes, although the contact with Lin Chen was not much, but he could easily feel the sincerity and enthusiasm from Lin Chen, and Lin Chen's concept was also very imaginary to him, it was very rare to have such a confidant in life.

In fact, Wan Qian also hoped very much in his heart that Lin Chen could accompany him and the gentleman of his family to Yingque Academy for a walk, and the best thing was to join the Confucian sect directly.

But Lin Chen obviously wouldn't agree.

Naturally, Wan Qian will not mention this matter again.

He picked up his wine glass and glanced at Lin Chen deeply before slowly speaking: "Brother Lin, the rivers and lakes are far away, and I look forward to seeing you soon." ”

"It's better to look at each other than to look at each other and follow the fate."

The wine glasses collided, Lin Chen and Wan Qi looked at each other and smiled, and drank all the wine in the glass.

They all didn't use their own strength to dispel the smell of alcohol, and let the alcohol continue to rush in their bodies.

That slightly drunk feeling made them gradually forget the reluctance and sadness when parting, and the two talked a lot, until finally, Wan Qian felt that he had been dizzy and fell heavily on the table.

When Wan Qi woke up, he found that Lin Chen had already left, and there was a book on the table.

His mind was still a little dizzy, he picked up the book and found that it was written by Lin Chen himself, and there were a few words at the beginning.

Tibetan scriptures.

……

After the previous battle, this Qiutan City finally calmed down, and the moment the news of Shangguan Mingdao's death came, it did make this Qiutan City shake a little, but in the end, it did not cause any big storms.

No matter what the city lord did, he was still dead after all, and the past was a cloud of smoke, and there was no point in continuing to talk about nature.

His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness of the Jackdaw Realm had already left, and the gentleman from the Confucian Sect, together with Wan Qian, accompanied Ouyang Hui to bury Shangguan Mingdao on a low hill outside Qiutan City, and from this direction, he could just take in the entire Qiutan City.

Patting the stone tablet in front of him, Ouyang Hui took a deep breath before slowly speaking: "Brother Shangguan, I didn't expect you to choose to protect this Qiutan City in such a way. ”

"I'm not in a position to judge whether you're right or wrong, but that's okay anymore."

"Don't worry, the formation of the active volcano has been lifted by us, and the old demons guarding the surrounding area have also died, and Qiutan City is safe."

After thinking about it, Ouyang Hui added: "At least now, it seems that it is safe." ”

"As for the future."

He looked at the distant sky, his expression was complicated, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "No one can tell." ”
