Chapter 666: City Lord's Mansion
Among the ancient temples.
Lin Chen's strength made everyone present already show an incomparable look of shock.
Those eyes were all fixed on Lin Chen's body.
The stone Buddha shattered, and the evil spirits in front of them had lost their last restraint, and they were liberated.
One by one, the evil spirits washed away their evil spirits, turned into flawless souls, and sank into the ground, and the thick death qi hidden in this ancient temple has gradually disappeared.
Everyone didn't expect it at all, and even before they could take action, Lin Chen had already truly solved all this.
And what happened next seemed to prove people's speculation, and soon, the fog that permeated the sky over the southern city gradually disappeared, and the breath of death had returned to heaven and earth, and those bones that could not be dissolved by the power of the curse gradually weathered, and finally dispersed with the wind.
Immediately afterward, the news came that he was able to get out of the southern city.
The change here has quickly alarmed the City Lord's Mansion, and Shen Nanfeng, the City Lord of Maple Forest City in the council hall, stood up directly from his seat, his face full of joy.
"The crisis in Nancheng has really been lifted!"
"Great, God bless Maple Grove City!"
"Immediately send someone to send a message to the deputy city lord of Nancheng, and immediately invite me the young man who relieved the crisis in Nancheng, and I want to meet this young man who rescued 100,000 people in Nancheng in person."
The housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion immediately agreed when he heard the lotus, and immediately arranged to go, and the news was sent to Nancheng quickly.
In the Nancheng Deputy City Lord's Mansion, in the room specially arranged by Gu Yunchang for Lin Chen and Meng Han, Meng Han couldn't believe what had happened before.
"Something is wrong, it stands to reason that the situation in the ancient temple will never be solved so simply."
"Such a big trouble, even if Brother Lin has a very strong combat power, it is impossible to solve it so easily, besides, Brother Lin, didn't you say that this matter is related to the Huang Mansion?"
"The ultimate culprit, how could it be the stone Buddha?"
After Lin Chen destroyed the stone Buddha, Gu Yunchang immediately called the soldiers of Nancheng to block the ancient temple, and after some investigation, it was determined that the stone Buddha was indeed the root of everything, it is said that the origin of the stone Buddha is not small, and it was once worshiped by the monarch of this small country in the largest temple in Shuofang City, the capital of this small country, and the aura generated by heaven and earth was conceived inside.
But he came to Fenglin City by mistake, and there was no one to worship him for a long time, and he happened to encounter the rare scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night in a hundred years, so the internal aura turned into an evil spirit, which was the disaster.
This statement can indeed make most people in Fenglin City believe it, but it can't deceive Lin Chen.
As early as the moment he entered the ancient temple, he had already discovered that the reason why the stone Buddha was able to act may indeed be related to the evil spirit inside, but it was absolutely impossible for the evil spirit to show such a powerful power, and it was more dependent on the formation inside the stone Buddha.
When he fought with the Stone Buddha for the first time, Lin Chen noticed that there was an artificially carved formation inside the Stone Buddha, but it was directly imprinted on the evil spirit in the body of the Stone Buddha by an extremely clever means, and in the end, the moment the Stone Buddha was shattered, the internal evil spirit had also died, and the formation was naturally nowhere to be found.
"Brother Lin, what do you want?"
Meng Han pushed Lin Chen before saying, "But it's good that the matter is settled, the lives of these people in Nancheng have finally been saved." β
Lin Chen sneered and said, "The lives of the people in Nancheng have been saved, but the grievances of those who died innocently have not been truly resolved." β
Meng Han was stunned.
"Hasn't the Stone Buddha been destroyed?"
"The Stone Buddha is just a faΓ§ade."
Meng Han was stunned for a moment, and Lin Chen said, "If you think about it carefully, don't you think that all this is a bit too anticlimactic?" β
"Just relying on a stone Buddha, can it really plan such a big game, and the aura of death it exudes can even affect the entire southern city?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Meng Han thought for a while and said, "Where there is evil, it must be man-made. β
Lin Chen nodded and said, "That's right." β
"Now this situation has made me even more sure that this matter was done by the Huang Mansion, and in the entire Maple Forest City, they are the only ones who have this ability to steal the sky."
"What's more, in that stone Buddha's body, I found this thing."
As he spoke, Lin Chen took out a jade order.
Above the jade order, there is only one word.
Yellow.
Meng Han's eyes widened directly.
Lin Chen continued: "And if you think about it carefully, when we just stepped into the ancient temple, did you really sense the power of the strange stone? β
Meng Han nodded, which was also the point he was most puzzled about.
When he first entered the ancient temple, he felt that there was a very strong aura inside, and that aura belonged to a strange stone.
But then he didn't find the strange stone, as if everything before was just an illusion.
"Where the hell did that strange stone go?"
"Obviously, after realizing that something was wrong, someone transferred the real secret of this ancient temple, and by the way, also transferred the strange stone."
"Also, have you noticed that at the last minute, one person is missing?"
"Zhu Yunhao!"
Meng Han hurriedly spoke, then frowned and said, "So you suspect that he is also related to the Huang Mansion?" β
Lin Chen spoke: "It's still uncertain, but it's already certain that the Huang Mansion is probably not well-intentioned, just relying on the strength of you and me, I'm afraid it's not enough to shake the Huang Mansion, now it depends on whether this Fenglin City Lord really loves the people like a son as rumored in the outside world." β
When Lin Chen's voice fell, there were footsteps outside.
The super combat power displayed in the ancient temple made the word Lin Chen spread in Fenglin City at once, and now he and Meng Han can be regarded as the people of Fenglin City, so they naturally want to be summoned by the city lord of Fenglin City.
And Lin Chen has been waiting for this opportunity to meet this city lord.
Thoughts fell, and there was a knock at the door.
"Two, there is news from the city lord, you two can enter the city lord's mansion with me."
It was Gu Yunchang's voice that came from outside the door, and Lin Chen got up and spoke: "Let's go, go to the City Lord's Mansion and have a look." β
After a brief tidying up, the two of them rushed towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion with Gu Yunchang.
In the carriage, Gu Yunchang looked at Lin Chen and the two with a smile and said, "I didn't notice the two of you before, but I didn't expect that the two of them would have such an ability to help me get rid of this big trouble in Maple Grove City, and they are already my benefactors in Maple Grove City." β
Lin Chen said with a smile: "City Lord Gu has praised it, in fact, I think you are the most admirable person." β
"As one of the deputy city lords of Maple Forest City, when the people in the city are in danger, he can stand with the people, and he is even more decisive at the moment of crisis, and resolutely goes to his death regardless of the opposition of others, this kind of bearing is not something ordinary people can have."
Hearing this, Gu Yunchang hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, and immediately after, Lin Chen's voice came: "Speaking of which, in the process of fighting with the Stone Buddha, I feel that the realm of the Stone Buddha is only in the Six Realms of Martial Arts at most, in this Maple Forest City, in addition to the city lord who can't leave the city lord's mansion at will, there should be other masters who can come forward to solve this matter." β
"There's no need for Nancheng to face such a huge threat all the time."
Referring to this, Gu Yunchang frowned and said, "Lin Shaoxia should be referring to the Huang Mansion." β
"There's no one else here, I'll just say it if I have something to say."
"Although the Huangfu is within the territory of my Maple Forest City, they are from Shuofang City after all, and their status and status are much higher than ours, with our strength, there is naturally no way to invite them."
"But it's strange to say, in this incident, after all, someone in the Huang Mansion has disappeared, and their attitude towards this is really a bit unpredictable."
Lin Chen's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "This is also what I am puzzled about. β
"The Huangfu Shenmen Compound, and a big family like them, the most important thing should be face, since they have a high-minded attitude, to put it mildly, they naturally can't look down on the power in Fenglin City, for those who are missing, how can they rest assured and boldly hand it over to you for investigation?"
Hearing this, Gu Yunchang frowned.
Obviously, Lin Chen's words gave him a wake-up call.
Seeing that Gu Yunchang hadn't spoken for a long time, Lin Chen smiled and opened the topic and said, "By the way, I have heard that Shen Nanfeng, the city lord of Fenglin City, is one of the top three powerhouses in the northern border of this jackdaw country, and he is also a well-known lover of the people, so I really want to see this city lord." β
Gu Yunchang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "If it was put in the past, the Shen City Lord was indeed the number one person worthy of admiration in the northern realm, but now, hey." β
Sighing, Gu Yunchang's expression was complicated.
Seeing this, Lin Chen spoke: "Now, what's wrong?" β
Gu Yunchang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, in short, after the two of you enter the City Lord's Mansion, be more careful." β
"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany the two of you into the City Lord's Mansion."
As he spoke, the carriage had already arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Goodbye, two."
After holding his fists and sending the two of them away, Gu Yunchang turned around and got into the carriage and gradually disappeared from sight.
The City Lord's Mansion in front of him was much more magnificent than Gu Yunchang's mansion, the guards in front of the door were wearing heavy armor, and their bodies were filled with a thick bloodthirsty aura that could only be left after the battlefield battle, and from a distance, you could feel that sense of oppression.
The person who greeted the two of them in the City Lord's Mansion had not yet appeared, so Lin Chen simply did not rush in, and looked in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
Just looked around, a voice came from behind him: "It's you?" β
Lin Chen was stunned and turned his head to see that it was the kind soldier he had seen before.
Seeing Lin Chen and the others standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the soldier immediately stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "Whoever let you come to this kind of place, get out of here quickly!" β
The voice was full of worry.
