Chapter 57: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
After this assassination turmoil, Dingyuan City is no longer calm, the undercurrent is turbulent, some people think that the Hong family is going to do something to the Wang family, the ancient era of the family Xianmen war is now very likely to break out, Dingyuan City people are panicked, the Wang family has begun to send masters to rush here.
The deputy city lord is still lying on the couch to recuperate, Dingyuan City cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the eldest prince Wang Han temporarily handles official business on behalf of the deputy city lord.
On Lin Fan's attic, he sat on the roof of the attic to cultivate, swallowing the morning glow, his body was full of yellow energy, and those black totems under his skin loomed. The blue-purple arc of lightning in the tribulation cloud above Lin Fan's head flickered, and the heavenly punishment would fall at any time.
"Lin Fan, are you healed?" asked the eldest prince Wang Han when he came behind Lin Fan.
"Whew! It's already half better!How is the deputy city lord now?" Lin Fan let out a breath of turbid air and turned around.
"That's good! Uncle Huo's injuries are very serious, and the situation has not stabilized yet. The eldest prince Wang Han sighed and said.
"What exactly is the shadow for?" Lin Fan couldn't help but wonder, he hadn't had a chance to ask before. Before leaving, the Assassin said "Mission accomplished", indicating that assassination was not their main purpose at all.
"Since you ask, you can tell you! It is estimated that it will not be long before the people of Dingyuan City will know about this matter. The eldest prince Wang Han frowned and said.
"The treasure of Dingyuan City was stolen, this matter must have been planned by the Hong family, I didn't expect them to be really willing, please come out of the 'shadow'!"
"The treasure of the town?" Lin Fan was surprised, he really hadn't heard of this thing.
"The treasure of the town is a powerful magic weapon, some can launch a real-life level attack, and some can release the sky barrier to protect the entire city, every big city of my Wang family has a magic weapon like this to protect against foreign enemies, you must know that a city without the treasure of the town is easy to fall unless it is guarded by a real person. The eldest prince Wang Han explained.
"So is it very likely that the Hong family will come to attack in the near future? Are they going to provoke a battle between the family?" Lin Fan heard the Iron Pot Daoist and the monk Huineng mention the battle of the family immortal gate in ancient times, 100,000 armor soldiers crushed the sky, and there were even saints who shot down a domain of mountains and rivers, and some forbidden techniques used could summon meteors to bombard the earth, and every battle between the family immortals would have millions or more lives destroyed, and its tragedy was unimaginable.
"It's not possible to start the battle of the family, but they will definitely find a way to take this Dingyuan City! It is said that the family has already sent a master to arrive, but it will take a lot of time to travel through the void, I have already sent a message to my father, I believe that he will also bring some masters when he returns." Wang Han said, Dingyuan City is a fortress, the Hong family is ambitious and wants to rise, Dingyuan City is equivalent to a lock that locks this fierce beast, once this lock is opened, then this beast is not far from getting out of trouble.
"Since the Hong family can ask the 'shadow' to steal the treasure of Dingyuan City, can't you ask them to steal the treasure of Dingyuan City back?" Lin Fan asked.
"It's useless! Shadows have rules, and most of them won't agree to this kind of thing, and even if they do, we won't be able to pay them. The eldest prince Wang Han shook his head and said.
"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings!" The eldest prince looked at the much colder street of Dingyuan City in the distance with a sad face, a storm seemed to be approaching, Lin Fan also had this feeling, it is estimated that there are not many stable days left in Dingyuan City.
"I still have some official business to deal with!" said the eldest prince after looking at the city for a while, and then left.
Lin Fan did not continue to meditate and cultivate, but chose to take a look at the situation of the deputy city lord.
The City Lord's Mansion was very large, and Lin Fan went around for half a circle before finally finding a place for the Deputy City Lord to heal.
"I heard that you were also injured, I'm really sorry, you are a distinguished guest of my Wang family, but you didn't protect you. The deputy city lord on the sickbed helped himself up, and said to Lin Fan half-lying.
"Hmph, you deserve to die!" The girl Yun Wan on the side snorted coldly, she had a very bad impression of Lin Fan, and wished that Lin Fan would die at the hands of those assassins.
"It's okay, but let the city lord bother you, you take care of your injuries, this Dingyuan City still has to rely on you to protect it. Lin Fan said, ignoring the girl's unreasonable trouble.
After chatting a few more words, Lin Fan got up and left, if he stayed there any longer, he would have to be angry with the girl.
Lin Fan walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and walked casually on the street, the crowd on the streets of Dingyuan City, which was still bustling two days ago, became bustling, many shops were also closed, and some immortal cultivators packed their luggage and hurried to the city gate.
There was a long queue at the gate of the city, and the Wang family did not want to prevent these people from leaving the city, but to conduct an investigation to prevent any spies of the Hong family from leaving the city with important information in the city.
The sky and the earth are dark, and the haze envelops this thousand-year-old city, and a pair of terrifying claws are silently surrounding it.
"Don't run, he's a spy!" shouted the guards at the city gate, and a group of guards flew down from the city walls and chased after an ordinary-dressed immortal cultivator.
"Catch him!" he tried to leak information!" shouted the guards in the back, but the people on the side were indifferent and looked at the scene indifferently, as if they didn't care about themselves.
"Stop him!" the guards who followed him screamed hoarsely, but the people around them were as unresponsive as the walking dead, and even the spy involuntarily gave way as he ran past them.
"It's good that this group of insensitive people is gone!Dingyuan City will be more united!" Lin Fan whispered, and at this time, the spy rushed towards Lin Fan in a panic.
"Bang!" Just when the spy thought that Lin Fan would make way for him like everyone else, he found out that he was wrong, Lin Fan directly summoned the stone bell to cover him, and then condensed a few yellow talismans to temporarily trap him, this person is not strong, he is not Lin Fan's opponent at all, otherwise he would not have been caught by Lin Fan without even having a chance to resist.
"Throw yourself into the net!" Lin Fan snorted coldly and handed him over to the guards guarding the city.
"Thank you for your help! If you let this man escape, it will be troublesome. One of the leading guards stepped forward and thanked him.
"Yes, I've been eating the Wang family's food these days!" Lin Fan said with a smile, if he hadn't been taken in by the deputy city lord and left in the city lord's mansion, it is estimated that Lin Fan would still be wandering on the streets.
"Hah! I remember, I saw you with the eldest prince that night!" the leading guard patted the shiny helmet above his head and smiled.
"Oh no, my lord, he's dead!" shouted the guards on the side, only to see the spy spitting black blood, his eyes rolling, and his whole body convulsed, and soon his body turned into a pile of black and purple pus, emitting a pungent smell.
"Hurry up and dispose of it! He committed suicide by taking poison! Don't touch this pus, it's poisonous!" shouted the guard in the lead, and he waved his hand to seal it for a while.
"You guys are busy, I won't bother you!" Lin Fan said after glancing at the black-purple pus.
Lin Fan was just about to return to the City Lord's Mansion, but saw the eldest prince Wang Han hurriedly coming out of the City Lord's Mansion with a team of guards and two powerful old men.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fan stepped forward and asked.
"The Hong family is trying to disintegrate the strength of my Dingyuan City! They want to turn this place into an empty city!" Let's talk as we walk!" said the eldest prince with a frown, saying that the two old men condensed the magic circle to protect Lin Fan and his party, and then led them into the void.
When they came out of the void, they appeared in the midst of a ruined wall, which was destroyed to the ground, and all the temples were shattered by the tremendous force of force, and black smoke rose from time to time under the ruins, and broken sigils fluttered in the sky, flashing with colorful divine light.
"This is the mansion of a nobleman in Dingyuan City, it was attacked in the morning, I'm afraid there are no living people! They are creating panic in Dingyuan City!" said the eldest prince Wang Han, pointing to several charred corpses not far away, his teeth chattering.
"How can there be no movement, this level of destruction can be heard even outside the city. Lin Fan frowned.
"It's a magic circle! There are strong people who use magic circles to isolate this place from the outside world in advance, if Uncle Huo is not injured, he will definitely be able to detect it. The eldest prince Wang Han pointed to the surrounding sky and said. I saw that the surrounding sky dome was imprinted with some huge sigils, which were very vague and about to dissipate.
"I see!" Lin Fan nodded, he really didn't expect the magic circle to have such an effect.
"We're too late, everyone is dead, not even the three-year-old!" said an old man in a calm voice, as the guards lifted the corpses out of the rubble and placed them together, while others were beaten to pulp, leaving no corpses left.
"The treasure of the town has been stolen, and we can't stop them from sneaking in, the only thing we can do is to defend passively, but this is not the way to do it. The eldest prince Wang Han frowned and said, he has been frowning for the past two days.
"Persistence is victory!" Lin Fan comforted, at least the support of the Wang family was already on the way, as long as he could hold on to Dingyuan City, it would not be a problem.
"That's true, but I'm worried that the Hong family will act soon. The eldest prince Wang Han said, with a faint worry in his eyes.
"Childe let's go, I'll leave it to the guards to deal with it. The old man next to the eldest prince Wang Han reminded that after all, he was now handling official business instead of the deputy city lord, and now it was a time of chaos, and things were even busier.
"Lin Fan, don't you follow?" The eldest prince Wang Han looked back at Lin Fan, only to see that Lin Fan was observing something in the ruins.
"I'll stay and see, these traces of the battle can teach me a lot. Lin Fan turned his head and smiled slightly, he was collecting those rune seal fragments, by observing these rune seals, he could improve his own rune seal way, and I heard that some strong people could even deduce the battle situation at that time through these rune seal fragments.
"Ha Lu Ha! Okay, you can stay here!" said the eldest prince Wang Han said with a smile, and then followed the two old men into the void.
