The mansion in front of him was huge and majestic, and when he stood at the door, he could clearly feel that thick oppressive force was constantly sweeping in.

But even so, there was still not the slightest guard in front of the door, and the whole building was lifeless.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yunhao, who was the leader, and Qiu Liang on the side glanced at each other, Qiu Liang's gaze immediately fell on a monk beside her, and she said, "Go and have a look." ”

The monk nodded and knocked on the red door.

Squeak.

A long and sharp voice spread far away in the silent southern city, and a soldier in heavy armor poked his head out, glanced at a few people in front of him, and then lowered his voice and said, "You are?" ”

Although the isolation in the southern city is only a few days, but for the residents of the southern city, a long time has passed, and they live here as if they were living like a year, every day is a life of fear, and they are extremely vigilant against those unfamiliar faces.

Qiu Liang stepped forward and said, "We were ordered by the city lord to investigate the matter of Nancheng, but the situation here is really a bit weird, so we have come to ask Gu Yunchang, the deputy city lord." ”

The guard carefully looked at the people in front of him, thought for a moment before saying, "Wait. ”

Bang.

The red door closed directly, and the heavy sound made the mood of everyone present even heavier.

And at this time, Lin Chen noticed that a figure in the corner flashed away.

Meng Han on the side had also noticed that he was about to speak but was stopped by Lin Chen, the situation in the southern city was too weird, and now they finally blended into the crowd with the city lord's order as a cover, rashly leaving the team, or showing some unusual means to attract the attention of others, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

Meng Han was not a fool, he easily figured out Lin Chen's thoughts, and after his eyes flashed, he remained calm.

After a while, the red gate was slowly opened, and it was the butler of the City Lord's Mansion who walked out.

This is an old man in his sixties and seventies, his hair has turned gray, and his martial arts cultivation has not yet stepped into the second realm.

After looking around the crowd, he lowered his voice and said, "Everyone, please." ”

Got out of the way and made a gesture of please, and when he did this action, he looked out cautiously, obviously very wary of this empty reception.

It is understandable that ordinary people are short-sighted and extremely afraid of the situation in the southern city, but as the steward of the deputy city lord's mansion, the person in front of him must have seen a lot of big scenes, and even he is extremely afraid of this southern city, and the situation in front of him can't help but make people think more.

However, they also knew that now was not the time to raise their objections, and since the deputy city lord agreed with them, he naturally had the intention to solve the crisis in the southern city.

Everyone didn't say anything, and after entering the city lord's mansion with the butler, the red gate behind them gradually closed.

There were quite a few monks present, more than twenty people, and the sudden appearance of such a large number of people made this usually quiet city lord's mansion a rare uproar.

It can be clearly seen that the soldiers guarding inside the city lord's mansion have worried expressions on their faces after seeing the monks enter here.

In the end, a group of decorations were brought into a huge conference room, and Gu Yunchang, the deputy city lord, was already waiting in the room, and when he saw everyone entering, he immediately got up, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Everyone has come from afar, let's rest a little today, and wait for tomorrow." ”

These words were unexpected by everyone present, and Lin Chen also frowned slightly.

It stands to reason that there has been such a huge change in the south of the city, as the person in charge of this south city, Gu Yunchang naturally wants to solve the problem here the most, but why does he show more like he does not want the problem of the south city to be solved?

Doubt.

Thick doubts continue to spread in the hearts of everyone, and people's moods have sunk to the bottom.

Zhu Yunhao, who was the leader, opened his mouth and said, "What is the city lord so unspeakable? ”

Gu Yunchang was stunned for a moment, then looked deeply at Zhu Yunhao in front of him before he smiled and said, "How could Mr. say that?" ”

Qiu Liang spoke: "City Lord, this should be our question." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yunchang's face changed, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly spoke: "That's it." ”

"Now that you've come over, I won't hide some things from you, but."

He glanced at everyone present, Zhu Yunhao's face immediately showed a look of enlightenment, and he turned his head and waved his hand to speak: "You guys go down to rest first, if you have any plans, I will inform you in time." ”

Everyone was slightly dissatisfied with Zhu Yunhao's decision, but it was not good to say anything, after all, the identity and strength of the people were all here, not to mention that Gu Yunchang obviously didn't want some words to be heard by them, after all, this was the City Lord's Mansion, and their identity and strength were not enough to support them to make trouble here.

Lin Chen and Meng Han were naturally included, and the two didn't say anything, and left with everyone.

When he got outside, Meng Han came to Lin Chen's side and said, "Brother Lin, this is wrong." ”

"What Gu Yunchang wants to say is obviously very important, we will definitely part ways with them in the end, if we miss such an important thing, it will not be beneficial to our next actions."

Hearing this, Lin Chen nodded, lowered his voice and said, "In this way, you go with these people first, and see if you can get any news from their mouths, and I will try to get those secrets that Gu Yunchang knows." ”

Meng Han's face was shocked when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "Brother Lin, you don't plan to eavesdrop in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Don't say it so ugly."

Glancing at Meng Han beside him, Lin Chen spoke: "Split up." ”

There were a lot of monks here, and the people in the City Lord's Mansion naturally didn't expect Lin Chen to make such a decision, coupled with the cover of the crowd, Lin Chen quickly got rid of the attention of the soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion, and disappeared into the grass on the side, and after everyone left, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was fixed in the direction of the conference room just now.

After taking a deep breath, he adjusted his state to the best, and after covering his breath with spiritual power, his body flashed and he came to the side of the conference room, rose up, landed on the roof, and then opened a tile, and fixed his eyes on the room.

The position he had chosen was just right to avoid the sight of the patrolling soldiers, so he would not be noticed for a while, so he simply put his mind at ease and focused all his attention on the conference room below.

In the room, City Lord Gu Yunchang, Zhu Yunhao and Qiu Liang were all seated, and Gu Yunchang's face obviously had a thick look of worry.

After his eyes lingered on the two people in front of him for a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "The two of you really don't know, now this southern city seems to be calm, but it has already become a ghost town. ”

"It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire southern city has been shrouded in the sight of the things in the ancient temple."

"I don't want to remove the threat of Nancheng as soon as possible, but once there is any change in my city lord's mansion, I am afraid that the lives of the people in the city will not be saved."

Hearing this, the eyes of the two widened.

When they saw the lifelessness in Nancheng, they vaguely guessed that there was already a big problem in Nancheng, but they didn't expect that the problem in Nancheng would be so big.

"What is hidden in the ancient temple? How can there be such a big means? ”

Zhu Haoyang's face was full of shock, and when he heard this, Gu Yunchang, the lord of Nancheng City, frowned and said, "We don't know, since the news came from the Huangfu that their people disappeared near the ancient temple, the city lord gave me an order, and I naturally didn't dare to take it, so I immediately sent someone over." ”

"But my people just lost contact with the ancient temple, and I was worried, so I selected a lot of masters to go over and find out, only to find out that it had been surrounded by a thick black fog, and the ancient temple had become the source of the black fog, which was filled with incomparably evil energy."

"When my people stepped into it, they were directly torn apart by those evil qi, and what was even more terrifying was that I heard some extremely strange roars coming from inside, and not only that, but when we were worried and wanted to escape from that hellish place, we actually saw an even more terrifying scene."

Gu Yunchang seemed to have thought of something extremely terrifying, wiped his sweat before slowly spit out four words: "Hundred ghosts walk at night." ”

"It was like hell on earth, and when people in white shirts and black shorts passed by us carrying golden coffins, we could feel like our souls had been sucked away, it was a real feeling of death."

"Those things are definitely from hell!"

"Fortunately, I carried the jade seal symbolizing the identity of the deputy city lord before I left, otherwise, I would have died there after that time."

"When the horrible scene was over, I found that all the people who had gone with me were dead, and I was the only one who escaped."

"But the real horror has just begun."

At this moment, Gu Yunchang still had the slightest majesty of the deputy city lord, he was already panicking to the extreme, his face was covered with cold sweat, and even his clothes were wet with cold sweat.

The body is also trembling constantly, and the eyes are full of fear.

It was as if everything that happened next had really touched the deepest fears in his heart.

After taking a long breath, he adjusted his mood slightly, his face had become extremely pale, and after glancing at the two people in front of him, he told what happened later.
