On that day, when the sky showed a touch of fish belly white, Ling Xiao woke up early.

Last night, because he didn't rest until late at night because he was too tired, Ling Xiao recovered the true element in his body a little, and he just fell asleep.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ling Xiao began to run the endless exercises, wanting to restore the true yuan in his body to the peak state, because it was too smooth to go to the Death Swamp yesterday to go to the Linglong Water Heart, it stands to reason that such a treasure should have multiple protections, how could it be obtained so easily?

However, Ling Xiao was already seriously injured yesterday, even if something happened, he was powerless to stop it, and he could only recover his strength and go to find out the city lord's tone.

After making up his mind, Ling Xiao concentrated his energy, and the true yuan flowed, trickling through the meridians, gradually growing stronger, and at the same time, his spirit was released, alerting the outside world. ”

After a while, the red sun hung high, changing the strangeness of the dark clouds covering the city the day before, so that passers-by would no longer panic and panic.

However, in Xia Yue City, there are still constant mournings, one after another people are sick, and people are constantly dying because of this, and it has not changed in the slightest because Ling Xiao has retrieved the Linglong Water Heart.

Ling Xiao, who closed his eyes and concentrated, woke up after a while, and spit out a mouthful of filth in his chest, but it was caused by the internal injuries he suffered yesterday.

"Yes, now we can go and see why!"

Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and the question in his chest became bigger and bigger.

After checking his wounds, they were almost healed, because Ling Xiao took a lot of medicinal materials that could heal wounds last night, and at the same time, the "endless" Zhenyuan was also assisting in recovering the wounds.

If it were someone else, such a serious injury, I am afraid that it would not be too much to recuperate for a month.

However, this also allowed Ling Xiao to pretend that his serious injuries had not healed, and when he probed the mouth of the Xia Yue City Lord, he would not be suspected.

When he walked out of the door, Ling Xiao clearly felt that there were a lot of people lurking around, although they were well hidden, they still did not escape Ling Xiao's investigation.

"It's ...... Send someone to spy on me?"

A wave of anger suddenly floated into his chest, but how could Ling Xiao be so angry?

Suppressing his emotions, the true yuan in Ling Xiao's body quietly operated, secretly protecting his body, but his face was driven away by blood, and he looked pale, and at the same time deliberately walked his steps in a messy manner, looking like he was seriously injured and his blood was empty.

When he walked out of the periphery, Ling Xiao clearly felt that the people in the periphery were still the same, still suffering from the plague.

Not long after, Ling Xiao entered the City Lord's Mansion and met the City Lord of Xia Yue.

At this time, the Xia Yue City Lord was even more haggard than the previous two days, as if he had not rested for a few days, and Ling Xiao was secretly frightened when he saw it, but Ling Xiao would not think that he was exhausted for Xia Yuecheng.

Because, this city lord has never walked out of the city lord's mansion at all, this is not difficult to ask, because when Ling Xiao came all the way, he asked a lot of sergeants, and they all answered like this.

"City Lord, I don't know if that exquisite water heart is useful, can it save the people of this city?"

Ling Xiao didn't say anything else polite, but after giving it over, he asked his biggest question, wanting to see how this Xia Yue City Lord would answer.

When the Xia Yue City Lord heard what Ling Xiao said, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he immediately spoke: "This exquisite water heart is naturally useful, but it takes some preparation to start, you don't have to worry." ”

Ling Xiao clearly saw the flash of light in Xia Yuecheng's eyes, and was already secretly thinking about what was going on in his heart, but he didn't notice it in the slightest, and said: "That's good, I hope the city lord can rescue the refugees in this city as soon as possible." ”

Immediately, Ling Xiao's tone changed: "It's this Qiankun compass, I don't know when the city lord will be able to hand it over to me to take back?"

This is what Ling Xiao wants to ask, although Ling Xiao is a refugee in this city, but after all, he kept his promise and found Linglong Shuixin, so naturally he will not forget the purpose of his trip.

Hearing the words downstairs, the Xia Yue City Lord smiled faintly: "Little friend doesn't have to worry, after I drive away the epidemic in this city, I will naturally offer it with both hands!"

Having said that, Ling Xiao clearly heard a little uncomfortable from his tone at that time, but since the City Lord of Xia Yue said so, Ling Xiao didn't want to be haunted by his face, but said goodbye, and left under the pretext that he wanted to recuperate.

The moment Ling Xiao turned around, a strange smile appeared on the face of the Xia Yue City Lord, completely missing the previous haggardness, as if he had changed a person, the light revealed in his eyes was like a thorn, it was clearly mockery, and hatred!

......

Ling Xiao, who returned to the room, moved slightly with a cold light in his eyes.

"It seems that there is really a problem this time, and I don't know if it can really solve the epidemic, or if it is for other purposes. ”

Thinking of the subtle weirdness when the Xia Yue City Lord spoke before, Ling Xiao had a bad premonition, and he didn't know what was going on, what made Ling Xiao entangled the most was the feeling of a thorn on his back when he said goodbye and turned around.

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a reason.

After scolding a few times, Ling Xiao made a decision - to investigate the City Lord's Mansion!

Ling Xiao didn't know what the city lord was doing, or if he was planning some conspiracy, but Ling Xiao had to take the Qiankun compass away, so he had to go to the city lord's mansion to investigate.

Moreover, this exquisite water heart was found by Ling Xiao, if it was related to something important, Ling Xiao didn't want to be burdened with a big black cauldron.

......

It was night, and the bright moon was in the sky, like a round of silver plates hanging high, diffusing clear light.

Ling Xiao fell asleep early, waiting for such an opportunity.

Quietly got up, took out a night suit that had been prepared from the Qiankun ring, and changed it quietly to Ling Xiao, for fear of alarming the people who were lurking outside to monitor him.

If at this time, Ling Xiao still couldn't see that this thing was weird, then he would really be ashamed of being reborn for three hundred years.

Just before, after returning from the Xia Yue City Lord, this place was densely surrounded, and there were people watching Ling Xiao outside all the time.

Ling Xiao knew that these people might have been sent by the Xia Yue City Lord, as for why he did this? Ling Xiao didn't know, the only thing he could judge was that the Xia Yue City Lord might have some kind of conspiracy!

At the end of the day, Ling Xiao agreed that he had taken a lot of medicinal materials, among which there were many natural treasures, and his injuries had already been secretly recovered, and even his misleading cultivation had been faintly improved, but Ling Xiao concealed it in order to confuse the Xia Yue City Lord.

Halfway through, the Xia Yue City Lord also asked people to help Ling Xiao check the situation, and Ling Xiao deliberately disrupted his true yuan, making it look like it was confused in the meridians, and concealed it from the Xia Yue City Lord.

"They're just afraid that they still think I'm not recovering!"

Ling Xiao's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, it was already the middle of the moon at this time, and even the refugees in the city had fallen asleep, and there was silence in the summer moon city.

"It's time!"

The sword eyebrows were upside down, and Ling Xiao's momentum was deeply hidden, and he quietly sneaked out of the window, moving in a ghostly step, turning into a ghost.

There are no five fingers around, for Ling Xiao's ghost step, it is an excellent environment for display, which is difficult to detect, and it will not be long before Ling Xiao solves all the few people who are watching him outside.

The martial arts cultivation of these people is not low, but it is still a step worse than Ling Xiao, it is estimated that the Xia Yue City Lord thought that Ling Xiao was seriously injured and would not be able to get better in a short period of time, so he would be so careless, and in addition to Ling Xiao's ghost step sneak attack in the dark night, it can be said that it is like a fish in water, and all these people will be solved at once.

"Whew!"

After knocking out all these martial artists who were monitoring him, Ling Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the City Lord's Mansion, and then the moonlight, although the City Lord's Mansion looked quiet, but it also had a strange atmosphere.

Ling Xiao's ghost steps moved slightly, and instantly turned into a phantom and disappeared, and quietly escaped to the City Lord's Mansion, wanting to find out.

Some soldiers with torches in their hands, who walked by from time to time, were sergeants patrolling the city.

Ling Xiao's ghost steps kept flashing and moving, avoiding these patrolling soldiers step by step, and constantly approaching the main mansion of the City Lord's Mansion.

Not long after, Ling Xiao infiltrated the conference hall.

At this time, the council hall had been cleaned up, and it no longer looked as messy as before, Ling Xiao relied on his memory and quickly flashed in through a side door in the council hall.

"I remember, the place where Xia Yuecheng hosted the event was over there!"

After thinking about it, Ling Xiao followed the moonlight and looked at a courtyard, which was the city lord's main mansion, and when Ling Xiao obtained the Linglong Water Heart before, he went there and handed it over to the city lord.

The phantom flickered, and Ling Xiao once again cast a ghost step, approaching the main mansion step by step.

The patrol team of the main mansion was much larger, patrolling the courtyard closely, and Ling Xiao dodged a few times halfway before narrowly avoiding it.

By the time I entered the Lord's Mansion, nearly an hour had passed.

"That's it!"

Looking at the many rooms, the window was lit with candles, Ling Xiao knew that that it was his goal, so he no longer hesitated and dived inside.

After reaching the bottom of the window, Ling Xiao poked a small hole in the window, wanting to see what was inside.

The window was covered with nothing more than a thin layer of window paper, where could it block anything? But when Ling Xiao looked inside, it was empty.

"Huh, how can this be?" Ling Xiao's brows couldn't help but furrow.

After thinking for a while, Ling Xiao looked in again, and carefully inspected the study, not wanting to miss any clues, and soon, a layer of bookshelves against the wall on the side attracted Ling Xiao's attention.

I saw that the position of the bookshelf was slightly tilted, which made people feel out of harmony at first glance, and the books on it were all neatly arranged, except for one disorganized.

At this time, Ling Xiao had already met, and behind this bookshelf, I was afraid that there was a secret passage or something.

At that moment, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated, carefully pushed the door open, and sneaked into the study.

After searching for a long time on the bookshelf, Ling Xiao really found something unusual, that is, on the bookshelf, a strange book has not moved at all, under Ling Xiao's hard pulling, I don't know what mechanism was opened, and the bookshelf quietly opened a gap, revealing a secret passage behind.

"Looks like this is it!"

Ling Xiao knew that all his doubts might have to go in to get answers, at that moment, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated, just walked quietly inside, the ghost step quietly drove out, turned into a phantom and flashed into the secret passage.

Just when Ling Xiao entered, the bookshelves on the periphery also quietly returned to their places, as if they had never moved.

Outside, the patrol sergeant was still on patrol.
