Chapter 39: Night Visits

Led by the guards, the pastoral forest passed through the noisy streets, and then through a deep alley, before stopping in front of an old courtyard.

The guards first glanced at the courtyard, and then cautiously asked Mu Lin: "This master, I don't know if you are still satisfied?"

Mu Lin didn't answer immediately after hearing this, but jumped to the courtyard wall, and the phantom pupil scanned the courtyard around with white light at this moment.

I saw that the courtyard was facing a small room, there was a pavilion on the right, and there was a large mirror not far from the pavilion, and on the left there was a drum, surrounded by a little vines, which had obviously not been used for a long time.

After scanning it, his figure jumped, and he fell to the ground, and then looked at everyone with a flat expression, and then said: "This place is a little old, but it's okay, as long as it's quiet."

"Whew-"

Hearing this, all the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts finally let go.

"It's not early, please come back early, forgive Mulin for not sending it." Mu Lin glanced at the sky and found that it was already dusk, and secretly wondered how time passed so quickly, but now he wanted to send the guards away first.

"Thank you, thank you." The guards had been waiting for the forest to let them go, and the next place was as if there were dogs chasing after them, and they disappeared as soon as they slipped away.

"Mader! I didn't see it so fast when I came. Looking at the disappearing backs of the guards, Mu Lin couldn't help but scold.

"Forget it, it's good that they have the courage to lead you over and say a few words to you." The white-haired man said lightly. "That's just like I'm a demon, and I'm sending them on their way?" Mu Lin retorted to himself.

The white-haired man was noncommittal, and he didn't bother to talk about it again. I saw the silver and white flames in his hand appear, making the courtyard that was gradually darkening bright. With his right hand lightly, flames flew out, lighting up the lanterns in the courtyard, and the whole courtyard was much brighter.

After Mu Lin watched the white-haired man finish a series, he went to the city with the latter to check it out.

However, after a long time, it was already dark night, the bright moon was in the sky, the sky was full of stars, and the soft moonlight shone in the city, as if it was dressed in a gauze for the dilapidated ancient city, which seemed so quiet and peaceful.

And in the moonlight, a thin figure was running with both feet and quickly shuttling through the streets of Xicheng, heading towards the center of the city.

"Teacher, if there is no mistake on the map, this should be the City Lord's Mansion." After a while, Mu Lin looked at the mansion in front of him and spoke.

"Well, remember, we're here tonight just to visit your mansion, and we don't have any other ideas."

Before entering, the white-haired man reminded, especially in the two words visit, which was a little more aggravated. After hearing this, Mu Lin smiled, showing an expression that I understand, and then his body jumped and entered the mansion.

At this time, in the hall of the house, an old man sitting on a seat, wearing a brown short suit, with a pale face and white hair, suddenly opened his cloudy eyes and stared at the courtyard for a long time, but he did not make any other movements.

At such an age, he is already a half-step spirit realm, judging from the breath, I am afraid that he is about to enter the early stage, to have such a demonic talent, he must not be an idle person, he can visit during the day, but why did he choose to enter the mansion at night?

Just as the old man was thinking, Mu Lin had already come to the compound, looking at the courtyard so deserted, the surroundings were full of dilapidation, Mu Lin even wondered if he had come to the wrong place, and after getting the affirmation of the white-haired man, he walked inside.

And in the process, a group of subordinates in the middle of the spiritual power realm discovered him and launched an attack on him. Mu Lin was not used to them, and with a swing of his sword, everyone flew upside down.

Then the phantom pupil swept through the buildings, and finally found the person with the highest realm in the mansion in the hall, that is, the old man. There was no hesitation at the moment, and he ran towards it in an instant.

The old man also sensed this, but he chose to wait for the arrival of the pasture.

Sure enough, when Mu Lin entered the hall, he smiled.

Looking at the smile on the old man's wrinkled face, Mu Lin only felt unnatural for a while. But he still said politely: "Boy Mulin, when I first arrived in your mansion, I have offended a lot, and I ask the city lord to forgive me."

Probably because of his appreciation of the pastoral talent, the old man was not angry, but invited the latter to take a seat.

"City Lord, what are you?" Mu Lin didn't know why, logically speaking, he should be beaten, why instead of being angry, he invited himself to take a seat. But I didn't think much about it, after all, with the strength of the old man's spirit master realm in the early stage, if he wanted to keep himself, I was afraid that it would not be so easy.

"Hehe, young hero, young hero!" The old man couldn't stop sighing at this moment.

"What's wrong with him?" Mu Lin said secretly to the white-haired man inside the amulet.

"He? It should just be too excited, don't worry, he's a normal person. The white-haired man inside the amulet explained.

In that case, it's okay, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it next.

"City Lord, do you know how many major forces there are in Xicheng at present?" After thinking about it in his heart, Mu Lin asked.

Hearing this, the old man's eyes drooped, trying his best to hide the feeling in his eyes, and the past in his mind returned one by one......

It was one day many years ago, when the old man was in the prime of life, and he had just been appointed by his father to become the lord of Xicheng.

With lofty ambitions, he wanted to exert his strength in Xicheng and vigorously rectify the law and order in the city, so he first gathered many strong people in the mansion to encircle and suppress the bandits and robbers who were ravaging the residents at that time.

Under his iron-fisted blows, most of the bandits and robbers were wiped out, and most of the survivors fled and hid a lot, only the Hunters of the Tower, known as the Desert Fox, dared to openly confront each other.

Although the strength of the Pagoda Hunter Regiment was not weak at that time and belonged to a large force, in front of the City Lord's Mansion in full swing, it seemed so vulnerable and incomparable. Just when people thought that the City Lord's Mansion would win, an accident happened.

The seemingly inconspicuous members of the tower hunter group have three spirit realm peaks, and the city lord's mansion except for the old man who has reached the peak of the spirit realm himself, the rest of the people are all under the peak of the spirit realm.

Because of this, the old man led everyone to exterminate the tower hunter group, and suffered a serious blow, and two-thirds of the strong people in the city lord's mansion fell, and after this battle, the city lord's mansion was greatly damaged, and he was no longer able to fight against it.

Today, although he has reached the early stage of the Spirit Master Realm, among the three of them, two of them are in the early stage of the Spirit Master Realm and one is a half-step Spirit Master Realm, which is no longer something that the City Lord's Mansion can compete with. Over time, Xicheng has gradually become what it is now.

"City Lord, City Lord, have you listened to the kid?" Mu Lin waved his hand in front of the old man and asked abruptly.

Why is this city lord so fascinated, he has called him several times. Mu Lin couldn't help frowning, it seemed that he was talking in vain.

"Ahh The old man came back to his senses and asked with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"I'm asking, how many forces are there in Xicheng?" Mu Lin was young and vigorous, and repeated with some impatience.

"There are two major forces in the Xicheng ranks, the Qita Hunter Group and the Shumis Auction House, the former is known as the Desert Fox, which has been standing in Xicheng for many years, and its strength is the first in Xicheng, while the latter is gradually famous for auctions, and its influence is the first in Xicheng, even if it is the Qita Hunter Group, it has to give three points to it." The old man slowly introduced, making Mu Lin more aware of the situation in Xicheng.

"Is there a conflict between their spheres of influence and interests?" Mu Lin asked a crucial question about what he should do next.

"Are there any conflicts between spheres of influence and interests...... Hao'er can't! The old man was thinking about it when he suddenly saw a strong figure coming from not far behind Mu Lin, but as soon as the words fell, it was already too late.

I saw Mu Lin dodge the attack very quickly, and then the Illusion Shura Blade swung a knife at the man.

"Scratch-" I saw that the strong man's brown shirt made a slender cut in response, but he was not harmed.

Mu Lin faded away from the Shura blade and looked at the strong man coldly. He had already noticed that someone was peeping at this place not far behind him, but he quietly and deliberately showed the dawn, turned his back completely in that direction, and waited for someone to take the bait.

"Little friend of the herdsman, is there any holiday between you and the dog?" The old man asked nervously at this time.

Mu Lin didn't think about it, so he shook his head. I just arrived in Xicheng today, how could I have a holiday with the strong man in front of me.

"Then ......" Before the old man finished speaking, the strong man interrupted: "I heard that someone broke into the mansion at night, and when I thought that my father was still in the hall, I hurried over, and happened to bump into him in front of you."

Hearing this, the old man smiled, and then said: "That's what I'm thinking about, and Mu Lin Xiaoyou just wants to wake me up."

"Ahh

At this time, Mu Lin, who had been silent for a while, looked calm, and then patted the strong man on the shoulder and said, "I'm waiting for you to apologize."

After speaking, Mu Lin and the strong man both laughed.
