In a relatively secluded alley in Maple Grove City.

Lin Chen stopped, and then spoke: "Come out." ”

Behind him, a person slowly walked out.

"You can catch up with me, and you do have some strength."

Lin Chen smiled, and then spoke: "Solving the crisis in the ancient temple, can't it prove my strength?" ”

turned around and looked behind him, and clearly found that there was a person coming, it was Qiu Liang from before.

With a smile on her face, this beautiful woman from the Ethereal Pavilion slowly came to Lin Chen's side, and looked Lin Chen up and down before saying: "I haven't heard of a master like you in Fenglin City before, if I'm not mistaken, the stone Buddha in the ancient temple at least has the combat power of the sixth realm of martial arts, you can defeat the stone Buddha, and the worst strength should be up and down the six realms of martial arts, for a character like you, it is natural to test it." ”

Lin Chen's face changed slightly, and then he said, "So, you have been following me?" ”

"Nature."

"So, you also helped me out of the siege?"

Qiu Liang smiled, and then said: "The Ethereal Pavilion has always been eager to seek talents, and of course I am very interested in a person like you who is powerful and has no power to rely on, and I myself am also very interested in you. ”

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

"How do you want me to repay you, just say it."

Qiu Liang's expression returned to normal, and there was even a solemn look in her eyes, and after taking a deep breath, she spoke, "I hope you can continue to investigate this matter." ”

"This matter is far from over."

Lin Chen's eyes flashed, and then he spoke: "What do you say?" ”

"Let me tell you the truth, the Ethereal Pavilion is also very concerned about this matter, after the fall of the Stone Buddha, although the crisis in the southern city has been contacted, but after our investigation, we found that the evil spirit in the Stone Buddha was planted by someone."

"And looking at the entire Maple Forest City, there is only one Huang Mansion with such ability."

"And, they have that motive."

"The real purpose of the Huang Mansion leaving Shuofang City and coming from afar to arrive in this Maple Forest City is to let that ancestor of his own family get a breakthrough."

"A while ago, they found a strange stone that could help the ancestor of the Yellow Mansion break through, because this strange stone caused a lot of trouble, but in the end, they still got the strange stone."

Hearing this, Lin Chen's face changed.

"Is there any evidence?"

"Of course."

Qiu Liang sneered and said, "As early as the night when the strange stone was lost, they had already brought the strange stone back to the Yellow Mansion, this is what I saw with my own eyes, that friend of yours was deceived." ”

The look of shock in Lin Chen's eyes became even stronger, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he slowly spoke: "So, you already know Meng Han's identity?" ”

Qiu Liang nodded: "That's right, although your friend is not very strong, he is still kind-hearted after all, but it is precisely because of this that he will be deceived by the people of the Yellow Mansion." ”

"After the strange stone returned to the hands of the Huang Mansion, there was a problem in Nancheng, I don't think you won't be able to guess the connection between this."

Lin Chen didn't speak for a long time, but his face became more and more gloomy.

"Lin Chen, although I don't know where you come from, but since you have this ability, then I hope that there can be a pleasant cooperation process between us, and as long as the culprit of this matter is punished, I promise to give you what you want."

Lin Chen's face changed slightly.

Although the Ethereal Pavilion does not belong to a large sect in Yingzhou, it is at least more well-informed than the news of Fenglin City, perhaps through the help of the Ethereal Pavilion, he will be able to find a way to enter the Central Heavenly City of the Eastern Land, and even, if he is a little lucky, he will be able to enter the Purple Mansion in the Central Heavenly City, which may hide a method to bring people back to life.

Glancing deeply at Qiu Liang in front of him, Lin Chen smiled: "Deal." ”

In the afternoon, Lin Chen returned to the restaurant where he had originally gone with Meng Han, and Meng Han, who had been waiting here for a while, let out a long sigh when he saw Lin Chen return safely, and then said, "Where did you go, I'm worried about death." ”

The white tiger entrusted to Meng Han's care also jumped on top of Lin Chen's head in an instant, lying on it comfortably.

After confirming the cooperation with Qiu Liang, he separated from Qiu Liang, which is also a way to ensure the safety of both parties, after all, in this Fenglin City, the Huang Mansion has a very powerful power.

And their ultimate goal is the Huang Mansion, once this kind of news is known by the Huang Mansion, it will be impossible to let them go.

In addition, Lin Chen wanted to find out why the Ethereal Pavilion was so concerned about this matter, and after some efforts, he found out some news, the reason why the Ethereal Pavilion had this kind of action, in addition to the fact that there were some festivals between them and the Huang Mansion, was more because the Ethereal Pavilion had always acted in such a way.

This small sect has always adhered to the code of conduct left by the ancestors, and everything is based on the world.

For the Ethereal Pavilion's approach, Lin Chen still appreciates it very much.

After briefly introducing the matter to Meng Han, Lin Chen said, "Have you finished eating?" ”

Meng Han was stunned.

Lin Chen said: "Come with me after eating, before investigating this matter, we must first find out what is going on with Shen Nanfeng." ”

"Go see the guard from before."

Meng Han naturally knew the priority of the matter, and quickly nodded and got up.

After grabbing the white tiger who was eating the sea plug, Lin Chen and Meng Han quickly left the tavern.

By the time they arrived at the guard's residence, it was already evening, and the sun was setting in the sky, and darkness was gradually enveloping Maple Grove City.

In front of him was a not very large room, located in a relatively remote area, but it was also safe, taking advantage of the night, Lin Chen knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A familiar voice came from the room, and then the door opened, revealing the familiar face of the guard.

After seeing Lin Chen and the others, his face immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Is that you?"

After glancing left and right to make sure that no one was noticing, the guards pulled the two into the courtyard.

After closing the door, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that you're okay, listen to me, hurry up and leave Maple Grove City." ”

Meng Han's face was full of doubts, and Lin Chen frowned and said, "Why?" ”

"There is no reason, listen to me, this is the only way to save your lives."

The guard's voice was full of worry, and Lin Chen frowned when he heard this: "Is it because of the city lord?" ”

Hearing this, the guard's face suddenly changed.

Meng Han opened his mouth and said, "Brother, tell us the truth, what's going on with the city lord?" ”

Seeing that the two insisted, the guard finally sighed and said, "Say it in the house." ”

In the room, after the three of them were seated, the guards told the whole story.

In fact, this is also a big secret in Maple Grove City.

The current city lord of Maple Grove City is no longer the city lord who loved the people like a son in the past.

To be precise, Shen Nanfeng only changed when the Huang Mansion came to Fenglin City six years ago.

Previously, there was a big trouble outside Maple Grove City, and there was an evil cult in the villages under Maple Grove City, and according to rumors, the evil cult escaped from the sand sea prison thousands of miles away from Maple Grove City.

Speaking of the sand sea prison, it is a big one, according to rumors, thousands of years ago, the place where this Maple Forest City is located originally had a huge ancient kingdom ruled by the human emperor.

And the sand sea prison was the heavenly prison of the ancient country ruled by the human emperor at that time.

The interior is filled with truly terrifying things, and the seals left behind in the prison from ancient times make it difficult for the prisoners inside to escape.

Once imprisoned in the sea of sand, you face endless exile.

The prisoners inside are trying to escape all the time.

However, with the demise of the ancient kingdom, all this can only be regarded as some rumors.

After the establishment of the Jackdaw, Maple Grove City has been built here, and some people want to find the ruins of that ancient country, and try to find the location of the Sand Sea Prison, but they have failed, but it is completely certain that the Sand Sea Prison is the place where it really exists.

Because more than once people have encountered something that has been rushed out of the prison of the sea of sand.

And every time something escapes from the prison of the sand sea, it is a disaster for people from the outside world.

The accident six years ago was also a huge disaster for Maple Grove City.

After learning of the situation, Shen Nanfeng personally led the four deputy city lords and his elites to the disaster-stricken village, and the guards in front of him were members of the team six years ago.

"In that village, we met prisoners from the prison of the Sand Sea."

"To be precise, it can't be regarded as a person anymore, although it has a human form, but it has a heart that is more terrifying than a demon."

"He has been controlled by the desire to kill, and he wants to completely tear apart all the creatures in front of him."

"We fought that thing for seven days."

"In this process, the four deputy city lords were seriously injured, and most of the soldiers were at the point of life and death crisis, and at the critical moment, the city lord broke out the strongest attack and finally defeated that thing, but he himself was seriously injured and could die at any time."

"We brought the city lord back to Maple Grove City, and the people in the entire Maple Grove City are very concerned about the city lord's condition, and we have found a lot of famous doctors, but they are all helpless about the city lord's injury."

"And at this time, the people of the Yellow Mansion came from afar, and it was decided that Fenglin City would be settled."

"At first, no one welcomed them, but after learning about the city lord's illness, an old man from the Huang Mansion personally came to say that he could help the city lord recover."

"We believed him, and he brought the city lord back to the Yellow Mansion."

"Three months, three months later, the city lord stood in front of us again, still heroic, but in our opinion, there was something missing."

"Humanity."
