"Can you say that again!"

In the city lord's palace, a fierce man wearing a black dragon-patterned Taoist robe kicked over the servant who was kneeling in front of him, with veins on his forehead clearly visible.

After being kicked so hard that he rolled on the ground, he didn't dare to cry out in pain. He knelt down in front of the man again and said shiveringly: "Cheng, City Lord, the lady is really missing."

"Ah!" The man roared up to the sky, furious, "Who! Who dares to take my son away! I will cut him into pieces!"

The attendant buried his head lower.

"Where are the Xiling Guards?" City Lord Lei Bao roared.

"My subordinate is here."

A man with a hooked nose and slanted eyebrows walked in from the door and bowed respectfully to Thunderstorm.

"Seal the city for me! Search the whole city for my son! If you can't find her, come and see her!" Lei Bao exuded a ferocious aura and his eyes were cold.

"I obey my orders!"

Goshawk's heart trembled, and he left the main hall and quickly summoned everyone in the city lord's mansion to seal the city.

When the four of them from Xu Yi walked out of the restaurant, they saw a team in armor heading towards the city gate.

There was a man at the back of the team holding a ring-shaped magic weapon, and shouted: "The city lord has an order, Xiling City is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization. Anyone who violates the order will be handed over to the city lord!"

"What? Close the city? Why do we need to close the city?"

"We can't close the city. I have something to do and I have to leave right away!"

"Why is it so sudden? Did something big happen?"

"..."

Xu Yi and the four of them looked at each other. They were about to leave in the teleportation array, but now it seems they can't leave.

Wang Yi'an glanced at everyone and whispered: "Could it be related to the disappearance we just heard in the restaurant?"

Someone in the restaurant just now discussed that many people have disappeared in Xiling City recently. They heard it but didn't take it to heart. After all, they were just passers-by and would leave soon.

I just didn't expect that this matter would develop to the point of locking down the city.

"Whether there is any connection or not, it has nothing to do with us. Why are we being forcibly detained here?" Chen Tao was very unconvinced.

Xu Yi glanced at the monks who were in turmoil after hearing the news of the city's closure, and said calmly: "Having said that, since we have come to Xiling City, we still abide by the rules of Xiling City. The worst we can do is stay here for a few more days."

Long Haotian also had the same view as Xu Yi.

A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.

They would never go against the city lord's mansion because of this matter.

But if this happens, won't they have to spend a few more days with Xu Yi?

Long Haotian's face turned bitter.

"It just so happens that you still had a question that you couldn't answer a few days ago. Let's find an inn and I'll tell you how to solve it."

Xu Yi quickly found a way to pass the time.

"Ah?" Chen Tao's face suddenly fell.

It’s time to attend class again.

"What? You don't want to hear it?"

Xu Yi raised his eyes, showing a faint hint of threat.

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Chen Tao hurriedly forced out a smile, "I am lucky to be able to listen to Senior Sister Xu's lectures."

Bah, flattery!

Long Haotian and Wang Yi'an sneered at the same time.

Xu Yi smiled slightly and looked at the two of them: "Do you have any objections?"

"No objection." Long Haotian and Wang Yian puffed up their chests and said loudly.

Chen Tao's lowered eyes showed a bit of disdain, hum, everyone is like this, don't say anything to anyone.

"Very well, let's go, let's find an inn."

Xu Yi and the other four acted quickly. After the news of the city's lockdown was first reported, they immediately found an inn and booked a guest room.

By the time others reacted, the inn was already full and they had no accommodation. They could only accept the unified arrangements of the City Lord's Mansion and rest in the practice field of the City Lord's Mansion. Their dissatisfaction gradually accumulated.

Inside the inn.

Xu Yi leaned against the window and looked at the team that entered the inn to search for the seventh time, with a solemn expression.

This is already the third day of the lockdown.

As things have not progressed, the atmosphere in Xiling City has become increasingly tense.

She has heard monks making trouble in the inn several times.

In a few days, if Xilingcheng is not unblocked, there will probably be chaos in the city.

What exactly is the city lord looking for?

Could it be that someone is missing in the city lord's palace?

Who can take someone away under the eyes of the city lord without any flaws, so that even the city lord's palace can't find the person.

Xu Yi frowned and thought, and suddenly there was a noise outside the door, and one of the voices was very familiar.

"Why do you search my room! I don't agree!"

It's Chen Tao's voice.

Xu Yi took two quick steps to open the door and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

With a face full of anger, Chen Tao stood outside his room and confronted the guards of the City Lord's Mansion that Xu Yi had just seen.

Facing Chen Tao's anger, the leader of the team from the City Lord's Mansion became even more forceful, "I was conducting the search on the City Lord's order. If you don't have something in your mind, why didn't you let us in!"

Chen Tao's eyes widened, "You are targeting me! You didn't check so many rooms, why did you only search my room!"

Chen Tao saw clearly from upstairs that the group of people did not stay after entering the inn, but came directly to his room. It was obvious that they were here for him.

"I am targeting you. Who dares you to be disrespectful to the City Lord's Mansion!" The leader sneered, not hiding his thoughts.

He received news from his subordinates that there was a young man in the inn who was very arrogant and repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with their search.

He was worried that he couldn't find anyone to explain to his superiors, so Chen Tao took the initiative to bump into him, asking whoever would trouble him if not him.

Xu Yi frowned, why did Chen Tao conflict with this group of people?

The king of hell is easy to see, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

"When have I ever disrespected the city lord? You are talking nonsense, don't slander me!"

Chen Tao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly.

Xu Yi nodded secretly. Chen Tao has experienced the training in the secret realm and his character has become much calmer.

In the past, he would probably have gotten into a fight by now.

"Evidence? Huh, what we said is evidence. I tell you, get out of the way right now and let us search the room. Otherwise, I will have to ask you to go to the city lord's mansion."

"you……"

Chen Tao rolled up his sleeves and was about to grab the leader's collar, but was grabbed by the other arm.

Long Haotian winked at Chen Tao, and said warmly to the people in the city lord's palace: "Everyone, our senior brothers entered Xiling City on the day of the city's closure. Many people saw it with their own eyes. They are definitely not the people you are looking for.

, there may be a misunderstanding."

Not to mention that Chen Tao would not let these people enter his room, even Long Haotian would not agree.

This is a slander to them. They still have the pride of sect disciples and cannot be trampled upon by others.

"Here comes another one." The leader sneered repeatedly.

This group of people still haven't figured out the situation.

No matter when they enter Xiling City, it will not affect the final result.

All he wants now is to quickly find a scapegoat to report to the superiors, and they can only admit that they are unlucky.
