This task is not easy, and if you rely on one person, it will definitely be much more difficult.

However, the position of the lord of the city itself also depends on the candidate's ability to employ and manage people, and it is not surprising that the lord's mansion will give such help.

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he didn't ask everyone to answer immediately, but only told everyone's final choice, and got up and left.

As Mo Zhuoyu expected, the fifth, seemingly simpler of the five tasks, had four people to choose from, and the remaining fourth and first ones also had three people to choose.

Only the second and third, seemingly clueless tasks, have the fewest choices. There are two people in the third mission that appears outside Yuecheng, and the second mission is only one person who chooses.

Mo Zhuoyu felt the strange gazes that everyone had seen on him since Li Xiao announced the results, and his heart was very calm.

Yes, the only person who chose the weird Spiritless Mountain mission was herself.

Mo Zhuoyu didn't mean to choose a hard bone to gnaw. It was only after comprehensive consideration that this decision was made in earnest.

After Li Xiao left, everyone also dispersed.

The duration of the mission is only half a month, which is not a lot of time for any task.

Everyone has either submitted their requests, or they are already preparing to go to the mission location to find more information.

After Mo Zhuoyu walked out of the hall, he thought for a moment, feeling that he didn't have anything to ask for help from the Lord's Mansion, so he turned around and left the mansion towards Wuling Mountain.

Wuling Mountain is located in the center of Hucheng and Xiucheng, and its geographical location is very close to the front line, and it is not very far from Yuecheng.

After Mo Zhuoyu looked at the map, he instantly remembered that direction.

Rushing all the way, Mo Zhuoyu didn't take long to arrive at his destination.

What was the original name of Wuling Mountain, Mo Zhuoyu didn't know, and it was not a famous mountain or river in the first place.

Stopping, Mo Zhuoyu looked at the eye-catching reminder stone tablet at the foot of the mountain and stopped.

This mountain deserves to be called the Spiritless Mountain, and this Spiritless Mountain is not just without aura, but without living beings!

On the whole mountain, the grass and trees withered, and not a single bird or beast was to be seen. It's a real sense of life!

Mo Zhuoyu's divine sense swept from the foot of the mountain, and he didn't feel anything strange.

After thinking about it, she didn't immediately go up to check, but turned around and walked towards the nearby Lake City.

Although this place is between Lake City and Xiu City, it belongs to Lake City. The monks who came to check on before were also from Lake City.

Lake City is located in the northeast corner of Yanzhou, and it is also the northeast corner of the entire Empty Sacred Domain. The entire Lake City was almost like a sharp blade, plunging into the territory of the evil cultivators, and it should be the most dangerous place in the entire Empty Sacred Domain right now.

Mo Zhuoyu traveled all the way, and the further north he went, the rarer mortal villages became. When he landed in front of Lake City, a monk looked at him vigilantly from afar.

Mo Zhuoyu explained his origin and purpose clearly, and took out the token of the candidate, and the defenders of the city slowly opened the city gate and invited Mo Zhuoyu in.

"Fellow Daoists, forgive me, now that the evil cultivators are in chaos, the rules in the city have to be stricter!"

It was a Jindan monk who came down, and after seeing Mo Zhuoyu walk in, he arched his hand slightly.

Mo Zhuoyu shook her head and didn't care, she looked at the city as if she was on guard in wartime, and she was a little surprised in her heart.

"Has Lake City reached the point where the whole city is on alert now?"

That Jindan monk in Lake City is the deputy city lord in the city, named Meng Ke, and his cultivation is also in the middle of Jindan.

Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Fellow Daoist may not have been on the front line recently, the evil cultivators have already stepped through the separation wall recently and launched two charges towards Lake City. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the deserted streets, and sighed, "The last time I almost hit the foot of Lake City, now the Qi cultivators and mortals in the city have all withdrawn. ”

After speaking, he seemed to be a little low, and Mo Zhuoyu didn't want to ask any more questions, and the two of them came to the City Lord's Mansion in Lake City from time to time.

The Lord of Lake City was injured in the previous battle and is still in retreat. Now that all the big and small things in the city are managed by Meng Ke, Mo Zhuoyu is worried that the other party will leave for too long, which will affect the position in the city, and the tunnel "Meng Daoyou, you go and get busy, I just asked those monks about the situation briefly." ”

Meng Ke was indeed busy, and when he heard this, he did not postpone it, and after summoning an order from a patrolman, he apologized to Mo Zhuoyu and left.

Mo Zhuoyu followed the guard, and after a while, he came to the room of a monk who had gone to check on him.

After entering the house, Mo Zhuoyu saw an old, white-haired man half-lying on the bed.

Seeing someone coming, the other party immediately stood up and wanted to sit up half-sit, but perhaps his body was too weak, and he struggled hard for a long time, but he couldn't get up.

Seeing this, the patrol guards who followed Mo Zhuoyu immediately stepped forward in two steps and helped him up.

"Brother Liu, sit down, this senior is from the lord's mansion to investigate the situation. ”

After appeasing the monk surnamed Liu, the patrol guard Jiang Xianqing turned around and bowed to Mo Zhuoyu.

"Forgive me, senior, Brother Liu's body has not recovered since that incident, and if you are rude, you still hope to your predecessor Haihan. ”

Mo Zhuoyu didn't care about these details, she waved her hand and called it up, and then came to the bed.

"Can I do a physical examination for you?"

Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Mo Zhuoyu stretched out his hand and probed a spiritual power into the other party's body.

After a while, Mo Zhuoyu withdrew his spiritual power, and his heart couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The situation of this monk surnamed Liu, Mo Zhuoyu had also asked Jiang Xianqing before he came.

Before this task, he had already cultivated in the foundation building period, and he was not very old.

But now not only is the meridian stagnation in his body sinking, but he is like a mortal body that has never cultivated. Its body is also like an old man, and its vitality is almost exhausted.

Mo Zhuoyu asked him again about the situation he went to check at that time.

But after listening to the other party's words, Mo Zhuoyu didn't get any more information.

The monk surnamed Liu was sent out to investigate that day after the City Lord's Mansion received a report from the Qi cultivators below.

He was also the highest cultivator among all the monks killed in this accident.

But his rhetoric is no different from the description Mo Zhuoyu saw in it.

After entering the Spiritless Mountain, he hesitated to step on the mountain, but as soon as his body entered the range of the mountain, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

But at this time, it was already too late, and after he retreated back, he found that the cultivation in his body had quietly disappeared.

Then, in the process of being taken back to Lake City, his body gradually changed to what it is now.

After Mo Zhuoyu comforted the other party, he followed Jiang Xianqing out.

"Are there any other people killed in the city?"

Mo Zhuoyu looked at Jiang Xianqing beside him and asked.
