Chapter 120: City Lord's Mansion

Ordinary people do not have the physical fitness of monks, so they naturally suffer from the weather, not to mention such a heavy rainstorm, all the houses are basically damaged, and the damage is heavy, many houses are washed away, and many people even die in the rain.

The most serious is the plague.

Plague, this is a very strange disease, it is colorless, tasteless, formless and qualityless, and it is impossible to prevent it.

Moreover, the plague is extremely spreading, and once infected, it is difficult to treat, and even doctors are helpless.

In this weather, the plague can quickly spread.

Plague is the most contagious, and it is the elderly and children who are infected with it and will quickly become ill and even die.

A large number of old people, children, and women die every year in Qingyun Town, but there is no medicine that can stop the spread of the plague.

The plague is like an invisible blade, cutting every inch of space inside and outside Qingyun Town, enveloping the entire Qingyun Town, every ten days and a half months, this Qingyun Town will become unrecognizable, desolate and dilapidated, every once in a while, a large number of corpses will be dragged out of this Qingyun Town, and then thrown into the river.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, these sick people are gathered every year, placed in the village, and then guarded by the guards of Qingyun Town, and the successful statistics of these corpses are put into the granary outside the town for storage, so as to prevent the plague from spreading to villages farther away, or in deserted places.

Every time he saw this picture, Zhao Feilong felt an inexplicable emotional surge in his heart, and various complex emotions such as sourness, sadness, anger, and helplessness were intertwined in this emotion.

Everyone here has a solemn look on their faces, and their eyes are full of sadness.

This is also the reason why Zhao Feilong has a sad face, this plague is too terrifying, he is afraid that his city will also be infected by the plague.

However, the most difficult problem now is that he can't find the source of this plague at all, and can only wait for the plague to disappear on its own.

These ensuing problems were intertwined with the problems of the Scorpion Sect's forces, and Zhao Feilong was also upset, and he unconsciously thought about it.

……

Soon, a group of four people came to the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Qingyun Town, which is the center of the entire Qingyun Town, and is one of the powerful centers of Qingyun Town, occupying most of the streets of Qingyun Town.

A majestic and magnificent huge building, as high as a hundred zhang, occupies the center of the entire Qingyun Town, which is majestic and makes people admire and worship.

There are many guards waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion, all of them have sharp eyes, wearing black armor, and their breath is fierce, they are obviously all masters, and there are several strong people in the Yuan Infant Stage, which can be described as heavily guarded.

Moreover, near the City Lord's Mansion, there are actually many masters hidden, these masters are hidden in the void, motionless, like sculptures, a pair of eyes like eagles and falcons, staring into the distance, always vigilant, not daring to slack off.

Around the City Lord's Mansion, there should be a defensive array, this large array is not an ordinary large array, but a high-grade defense type, even if it is a monk of the Jindan Realm, it takes a lot of work to break this large array, and the maintenance price of this defensive array should be very amazing, after all, this large array is built with high-grade spirit stones, which is worth a lot of money, so calculated, the price maintained by this large array is definitely more than one million high-grade spirit stones!

Seeing the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Jie's eyes flashed with a solemn look, and he sighed in his heart, this City Lord's Mansion is really not simple.

Soon, Zhao Feilong took Lin Jie into the City Lord's Mansion, and after entering the City Lord's Mansion, the guards around him immediately bowed to Lin Jie and the four of them.

Zhao Feilong waved his hand, motioned for them to retreat, and told them to stay safe.

Although it was night, the lights in the castle lord's mansion were bright, as if it were day.

Along the way, Lin Jie observed the surrounding scenery and found that the layout of the City Lord's Mansion was extremely complicated.

The layout of the City Lord's Mansion is extremely simple, with large halls towering one after another, and each hall is separated by a layer of prohibition, making the inside and outside of the main hall look like daylight.

This City Lord's Mansion is also very large, not only covering a vast area, but also arranging many formation prohibitions, here, everything will become very careful.

Zhao Feilong led the four of them into a hall.

The decoration of the hall is very luxurious, the walls are covered with paintings, all kinds of things, and the craftsmanship of each painting is very high, and it can be seen that the raw materials of these paintings must be precious materials.

The display in the hall is also very complete, there are all kinds of things placed, it seems that the city lord usually likes to collect all kinds of treasures, Lin Jie can also see that although these treasures are very valuable, but the price is very expensive, not ordinary people can afford it.

In the four corners of the hall, four beads that emitted a faint light were suspended.

This bead Lin Jie recognized that it should be a spirit bead.

The effect of gathering spirit beads is to gather the aura of heaven and earth, which is better than ordinary spirit stones, and it can also improve the cultivation speed of martial artists, which is a very precious treasure.

In the center of the hall, there is a table of eight immortals, a teapot and a teacup on the tabletop, and a set of rosewood furniture, on which the dragon and tiger pattern is carved, which looks extremely gorgeous and exquisite.

On the left side of the hall is a screen, behind which is a spacious bedroom with a bed and counter.

Zhao Feilong took Lin Jie and the four of them to sit down in the hall, and beckoned the maid to bring fragrant tea and snacks, while the four of them tasted tea.

"Master Lin, what do you think of the Scorpion Sect's actions this time?"

While tasting tea, Zhao Feilong asked with a smile.

"The Scorpion Sect's actions look dangerous." Lin Jie said.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"First of all, the Scorpion Sect's actions are very abrupt and very dangerous, if you don't watch out, it is easy to fall for the other party's tricks, and since they chose to do it tonight, they must have the certainty of victory, but what is incomprehensible is that the reinforcements of the Scorpion Sect have not arrived for a long time, and there must be something strange in it." Lin Jie analyzed.

"yes, that's suspicious."

Zhao Feilong also felt very strange, according to their estimates, the Scorpion Sect's action should be very rapid, after all, they were fully prepared, but what they didn't expect was that they didn't take action for a long time, which made them a little confused.

"Secondly, these masters of the Scorpion Sect are all high-level cultivators, moreover, their strength is very strong, and their attack methods are unpredictable, once they are hit, it is difficult to recover, such a strange attack method, I think they will definitely not use it easily, because their damage is very heavy, it is easy for people to know their secrets, which is definitely a mortal threat to the Scorpion Sect." Lin Jie said again, "Moreover, the situation this time is very complicated, and we have to be on guard, because we don't know how many masters the Scorpion Sect has. "

Hearing Lin Jie's words, Zhao Feilong was silent and fell into thought.

"Could it be that the Scorpion Sect wants to give us a dismount?"

Wang Wanguan guessed on the side.

"No, it's impossible, although the strength of the Scorpion Sect is strong, it will not be so powerful, they must have other plans." Zhao Feilong denied Wang Wanguan's speculation.

When Lin Jie heard this, he also agreed: "I also agree with City Lord Zhao's inference, this possibility is very small, but we still need to pay attention to it." "

"Hmm." Zhao Feilong nodded.

"Judging from what we seized just now, the person behind the Scorpion Sect should be a demon monk, and this demon monk is definitely not simple."

"I think, the reason why the Scorpion Sect can be so fearless is probably inseparable from the ancestor behind them, this demon cultivator's strength is very strong, if I guess correctly, those masters of the Scorpion Sect must have been arranged by this ancestor."

Lin Jie continued to analyze.

After listening to Lin Jie's analysis, Zhao Feilong and Wang Wanguan both showed shocked looks.

The two of them never thought that the person behind the Scorpion Sect actually had such terrifying strength, and besides, this person behind the scenes couldn't even guess Zhao Feilong, which was really terrifying.

"Who is the person behind the Scorpion Sect?"

Zhao Feilong couldn't help but mutter.

"I don't know about this, maybe the people behind the Scorpion Sect don't know where the sacredness is." Lin Jie shook his head.

"Either way, we'd better be careful." Zhao Feilong said.

"Yes, be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship, no matter what, we must prepare for the worst, this time against the Scorpion Sect, it can be described as dangerous, we must be fully prepared in case of emergency."

"Yes, we need to be well prepared."

Zhao Feilong and Wang Wanguan nodded again and again.

"I think since they are exposed, then they will definitely have reservations in their next action, and we must be prepared to deal with it." Lin Jie said again.

"Well, you're right, I must strictly monitor this operation, and I must not let them succeed."

Zhao Feilong nodded firmly.

"However, City Lord Zhao, this time, we are not the only ones who are investigating, there are several other forces tracking and investigating, and I believe that they will definitely be aware of it." Lin Jie reminded.

The Scorpion Sect has occupied this city for hundreds of years, and if they don't want others to peep into their plots, they have always taken a low-key attitude, but this time, they have exposed their stuff, which proves that the person behind them is also ambitious, and their ambition is not only this city, but also other things.

If those forces are also involved, then this matter is not their family's business, it is very likely that it is very widely involved, deeply involved, and even, the forces behind these forces will have more powerful masters, and when the time comes, they will encounter very powerful enemies.
