Chapter 319: Arson

When Ling Yu left the Zhong Mansion, the two guarding the door were still secretly dreaming, imagining that Ling Yu would speak well for the two of them in front of Zhong Wu, and Zhong Wuyi would be happy, so he would be able to promote them, and from then on. And what they don't know is that Zhong Wu at this moment has already turned into a ghost and is no longer in the world.

Ling Yu climbed out of the wall, spread out his divine sense and looked around, and when he was sure that no one was looking at him, Ling Yu used the light to discern the direction and walked towards the restaurant that he had agreed with Xiao Hei before.

The restaurant was located in the south of Sixiang City, less than three miles away from Zhong Wu's mansion, and if Ling Yu used the Holy Dragon Crossing, it could be reached in the blink of an eye. But because Ling Yu was worried that if he showed his cultivation here, he would be seen by the Zhong family's eagle dogs, and if it reached Zhong Zifan's ears, it would not be good if his whereabouts were exposed. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Ling Yu decided to go to the restaurant like an ordinary person. As he walked around the city, he reminisced about his time when he first arrived in Sixiang City.

In fact, Ling Yu and Tang Jinxuan met for the first time in Sixiang City, and it was in the restaurant they agreed upon. At that time, he had just killed Shen Hang, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had become an ownerless sect overnight, and the people in the Northern Regions were panicking, and the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were chasing and killing him like crazy. It was also at that time that they met Tang Jinxuan and Tang Ze on the second floor of the restaurant. The initial meeting was not good, and it was even full of gunpowder, but the reason was very simple, because Ling Yu glanced at Tang Jinxuan, who was covered with light veil, and was threatened by their ancestors and grandchildren. It was precisely because of that unfriendly first meeting that Ling Yu's image in Tang Jinxuan's mind became a prodigal son, and this image was so deep-rooted that Ling Yu later worshiped the Shenwu Academy, and this title did not change. In retrospect, it seems like a long time ago.

Just as Ling Yu was walking with her head down, immersed in her memories, she suddenly felt that it was dark in front of her, as if someone was blocking her way. Ling Yu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly took a few steps back and looked up. After seeing clearly the group of cultivators in front of him, Ling Yu swallowed his saliva unconsciously. At the same time, he was secretly annoyed, only blaming himself for being so fascinated that he didn't know that hundreds of cultivators were ushered in front of him.

"Boy, are you blind, you don't have long eyes, don't you know that you are blocking our city lord's way?" Just as Ling Yu shook his head, a cultivator beside Zhong Zifan shouted arrogantly.

"I'm sorry, I'll leave right away, I'll leave right away!" Ling Yu stole a glance at Zhong Zifan while showing weakness. He is not a fool, he knows that now is not the time to go head-to-head with the other party, and it is the right way to preserve his strength.

Zhong Zifan is about seven and a half feet tall, dressed in fine clothes, and dressed appropriately. His appearance is eight points similar to Zhong Ziming, but compared to Zhong Ziming, Zhong Zifan has a more restrained domineering. He has thick eyebrows, tiger eyes, a burly figure, a lion nose and a wide mouth, and does not smile. At this time, Zhong Zifan's face sank like water, and his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he had something on his mind. It wasn't until the cultivator next to him glared at Ling Yu that he looked up at Ling Yu.

Ling Yu guessed that Zhong Zifan must have known the news that Zhong Wu and the others were killed. Although Zhong Wu is only his distant relative, but for so many years, Zhong Wu has been deeply respected by him, and Zhong Wu was killed, which made his already unavailable Sixiang City even more empty. The four heroes of the Zhong family and Zhong Zhenhong and other right-hand men he cultivated before were killed by Ling Yu a few months ago, and he had no choice but to appoint Zhong Wu, but now, even Zhong Wu was killed.

Previously, Zhong Zifan came to Zhong Wu's mansion and wanted to tell him to beware of Ling Yu coming back for revenge, but he pounced. When he heard that Zhong Wu and a strange man were going to a mass grave, Zhong Zifan instinctively felt that something was wrong. Zhong Wu's personality is very clear to him, although this person is ruthless and arrogant, but he also has a fatal weakness, that is, he is extremely greedy for the treasures of the world, if someone uses this as bait, then he will be fooled nine times out of ten. When Zhong Zifan led his disciples to rush to the mass grave, he found blood stains on one place, and knew that something bad was wrong, so he hurriedly returned to Sixiang City.

"If you know you're in the way, don't go out of the way! Get out of here, or you'll be allowed to climb out of the Four Elephant City." The cultivator beside Zhong Zifan was extremely arrogant, he pushed Ling Yu hard, and said scoldingly.

Ling Yu knew that this was not the time to fight them, so he hurriedly showed a look of fear, nodded and walked into the distance. However, as soon as he passed by Zhong Zifan, he was stopped by Zhong Zifan.

"Wait! This friend is not from Sixiang City, is he? It's late at night, why are you still shaking in the street, who are you, and where are you from?" Zhong Zifan turned his head to look at Ling Yu and asked in a deep voice.

The reason why Zhong Zifan was suspicious of Ling Yu was because the disciple who spoke just now had the cultivation of the Kaiyuan Realm, and normal people would at least take a few steps back when he pushed him hard, but Ling Yu did not, which showed that Ling Yu's cultivation was higher than that disciple. Moreover, although Ling Yu deliberately concealed his cultivation, judging from his aura and pace, he had at least ten years of hard cultivation. The most important thing is that when Zhong Zifan exuded his divine sense and looked at Ling Yu, he found that Ling Yu's expression was slightly stiff, as if his face was fake. There are all kinds of signs that the man in front of him is not simple, so Zhong Zifan opened his mouth to stop him.

"Back to the city lord, the villain is from the Southern Wilderness, and this trip is to visit friends in the Northern Snow Spirit Country. Ling Yu lowered her head, made a look of fear, and replied resignedly.

"Friend, your face...... It seems that something is wrong!You have a mask, right?I wonder if Daoist friends can see each other with their true faces?" Zhong Zifan stared at Ling Yu tightly and said word by word.

"City Lord, this, I'm afraid there is something wrong, the villain was full of scars because of the fight with the fierce beasts of the Southern Wilderness many years ago, and the reason why I wore a mask was because I was afraid of frightening the friends around me. Ling Yu said embarrassedly.

"But what if I want to see it?" Zhong Zifan looked at Ling Yu, who seemed to be trembling with fear, and slowly forced towards him. Although Zhong Zifan seemed calm, there was an irresistible tone in his words.

Seeing Zhong Zifan approaching him step by step, Ling Yu's palms were sweaty, he secretly stroked the Boundary Spirit Ring and made the worst plan. If Zhong Zifan persecuted again, he could only fight hard.

Three steps, two steps, one step, Zhong Zifan was getting closer and closer to Ling Yu, and the coercion of the little saint rippled out, making Ling Yu's heart raise his throat, and he secretly stored his strength, always ready to sacrifice the broken sword.

"Master, it's not good, the City Lord's Mansion is on fire!" At this critical moment, an anxious report suddenly came from a distance, and it was this report that saved Ling Yu's life.

"What's going on! How could the City Lord's Mansion suddenly catch fire? It is heavily guarded, someone must have deliberately set it on fire, let's go back immediately!" Zhong Zifan gritted his teeth and roared when he heard the report from the visitor.

With Zhong Zifan's roar, the group of cultivators no longer paid attention to Ling Yu, but turned around and followed Zhong Zifan towards the center of the city. Zhong Wu was killed, the City Lord's Mansion caught fire, and this series of blows made Zhong Zifan have no time to take care of Ling Yu. There is no one available around Zhong Zifan, if something happens to the City Lord's Mansion again, I am afraid that the Four Elephant City, which he has worked hard to manage for decades, will be destroyed in one fell swoop. At this critical juncture, nothing can be repeated.

Ling Yu looked in the direction Zhong Zifan left, and found that the mansion in the center of the city was on fire, and the noise came from a distance, as if many people were busy fighting the fire, roaring and shouting together.

It wasn't until the figures of Zhong Zifan and the others disappeared from Ling Yu's sight that he finally breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for this sudden fire, he would definitely be recognized by Zhong Zifan today, and there would inevitably be a fierce battle at that time. Just like Zhong Zifan said, the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded, and ordinary people couldn't get close to it at all, and if they wanted to set such a big fire, I am afraid that it was not something ordinary people could do.

But no matter what, Ling Yu is safe for the time being. In order to avoid another incident, Ling Yu took a deep breath and galloped towards the agreed restaurant.

When Ling Yu returned to the restaurant, she found Tang Jinxuan waiting on the first floor. She frowned, holding her cheeks in her hand, as if she had something on her mind. Xuan Ling'er's little head was pillowed on Tang Jinxuan's other arm, and she was dreaming. A man and a beast accompanied by a midnight candle flame are picturesque, outlining the most tranquil and wonderful picture in the world. Ling Yu had stopped for a long time before he stepped forward, as if he couldn't bear to spoil this beautiful scenery.

"Miss, what about the young master and the bookkeeper?" Ling Yu walked up to Tang Jinxuan and asked softly. They had made a pact before that they would show themselves as someone else. Xiao Hei is the young master, Tang Jinxuan is the young lady, Wu Dao is the bookkeeper, and Ling Yu is the bodyguard. In doing so, they can disguise their identities and let them travel without being suspected by outsiders.

"You're back!" Hearing Ling Yu's familiar voice coming from behind, Tang Jinxuan was overjoyed. She got up suddenly, looked at Ling Yu's smiling face, her face turned red, and she showed a shy and relieved expression.

"I'm back, I'm worried about you, what about them?" Although Tang Jinxuan was lightly veiled, she still couldn't hide the beautiful face that captivated the country and the city, Ling Yu looked at the beautiful smile and said softly.

"Go upstairs and say. Tang Jinxuan was stared at by Ling Yu's burning gaze, and her face turned even redder, like a ripe apple, which made people salivate. She calmed her breath and said with a sigh of relief.

Because of Tang Jinxuan's sudden up, Xuan Ling'er was instantly awakened, it raised its front paws, and looked directly at Tang Jinxuan with a pair of smart little eyes, with a look of grievance. And when it saw Ling Yu behind Tang Jinxuan, Xuan Ling'er suddenly threw herself into his arms and sprinkled as much as she wanted. While rubbing Ling Yu's shoulder with his little head, he turned his head and pointed at Tang Jinxuan with his paws, dancing and telling his dissatisfaction.

Ling Yu held Xuan Ling'er in her arms, her eyes flashing with a thick doting color. He nodded at Tang Jinxuan, and the two walked upstairs.

Their rooms were all on the third floor, Tang Jinxuan was in the innermost room, Ling Yu was next to her, and Xiao Hei and Wu Dao lived opposite Ling Yu. The room was chosen by Wu Dao, and among the four people, only he was the most experienced. The reason why Wu Dao arranged it this way was because he and Ling Yu had the highest cultivation level, they lived in the room on the outside, and if there was anything going on outside, they could detect it as soon as possible.

"We booked a room when we got back to the restaurant, but we haven't seen you come back after dinner. Fearing for your safety, the two of them decided to go out and look for you. Xiao Hei said, you must not want us to be involved, and you will take revenge yourself. After discussing with him, Wu Dao decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion to set fire, they said, this is called to attack the east and west, in order to contain Zhong Zifan and leave enough time for you to do what you need to do. Tang Jinxuan walked into Ling Yu's room and said softly.

"It turned out that they set the fire, but fortunately they had the fire, otherwise, today would really be a blessing and a curse. Ling Yu thought back to the smuggling smiles of Wu Dao and the others, shook his head and chuckled.
