The next day, Heiyan City and Yunlan Sect’s garrison.

In the quiet room, Liu Ling sat on the couch, naked, and was applying medicine to herself.

Ding Qi stood beside him, with flames burning on his palms, slowly baking certain medicinal materials that are conducive to recovery from injuries.

He looked at Liu Ling with a depressed expression, and his words were full of praise:

"You can support yourself under a fighter for so long and successfully escape. Xiao Ling, you are very good."

Liu Ling grinned and applied medicine to the wound on her body, and felt a little satisfied when she heard this:

"If the dagger forged with meteorites from the sky that the teacher gave me was extremely sharp and could ignore the defense of the fighting spirit to a certain extent, I would probably not be the opponent of Deacon Sand."

Seeing that Liu Ling was not blinded by victory, Ding Qi nodded slightly and started another topic:

"Now the storm in the city is tense, so we cannot arrest the deacon Sha for a large amount of time, so as not to be linked by those who are interested in it, attracting the attention of the official forces of Black Flame City, so we can only search in secret and slowly."

After all, no matter what the reason is, Ding Yan has already killed the soldiers of Black Flame City. It is not good to make a big fuss at this time, otherwise wouldn’t he not be able to tell himself?

Liu Ling sighed:

"If you had discovered me earlier, Senior Brother, you might have been able to find him based on the odor marks I left on Deacon Sha. Now he probably would have cleaned it up long ago."

Ding Yan extinguished the flames, mixed the prepared medicinal materials with several other types, mixed them into a turquoise ointment, and threw it to Liu Ling, then smiled:

"You boy is greedy. If I left you alone and went to chase and kill Deacon Sha, I'm afraid you would have died of excessive blood loss and would not look at your own situation."

He returned to the Yunlan Sect's headquarters last night, but did not see Liu Ling in the guest room. Instead, he smelled the special scent of Liu Ling's body - a sign of danger asking for advice that the two brothers agreed.

So he linked this matter with his attack, followed the smell, and found Liu Ling, who was unconscious three streets, lying in a pool of blood.

Because he was not able to see the enemy and Liu Ling's injuries were really serious, he could only take Liu Ling back to the garrison for treatment first, and save his life before talking about other things.

When Liu Ling remembered this, she was also a little scared:

"At that time, Deacon Sha and I fought hard with one of the eagle claws, and pierced his right hand with a dagger, and I was seriously injured. If the city lord guards had not arrived in time, Deacon Sha would not be able to finish the fight after being poisoned, I'm afraid I would not be able to support you, Brother, please come and save me."

Even so, because he didn't know whether the city lord guard was an enemy or a friend, Liu Ling was cautious and had to drag his seriously injured body to play hide-and-seek with a group of soldiers.

After finally getting rid of them, they fell into a coma due to a lot of blood loss and were exhausted.

The boy looked angry and clenched his fists:

"I have never suffered such serious injuries since I was a child! If I know who the mastermind is behind the scenes, I must take revenge on them!"

Ding Yan patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"You'd better take care of your injuries first. As for the origin of the attacker, I've guessed it and I'll tell you later."

Seeing that he seemed to be about to turn around and leave, Liu Ling was a little panicked: "Senior Brother, where are you going?"

Ding Yan said with a hilarious look: "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere, I just ordered the deacons outside the room."

Only then did Liu Ling calm down, closed her eyes and entered into meditation, looked inside and observed the damage to the meridians in her body, and tried to mobilize the fighting energy to warm up.

Ding Yan walked out of the guest room and stood in the yard.

In front of him were all the deacons of Yunlan Sect in the Heiyan City stationed. He was led by Deacon Ge, standing in front of him carefully, and did not dare to breathe, for fear that the disciple of the Dan King would be angry.

Ding Qi looked around everyone and said indifferently: "I asked you to conduct self-examination, will there be any results?"

Deacon Ge wiped his cold sweat and stepped forward and whispered:

"We have searched Shahe's room, without any clues. We have also conducted self-examination and correction for several other deacons. We can guarantee that they are all loyal people to the sect and will never do such things!"

Ding Qi did not hide the serious injury of these deacons in sects, but told them openly that Deacon Sha colluded with outsiders and tried to attack and kill the disciples of the sect and ordered them to prove their innocence.

This is where the deacons gathered outside the guest room and waited for Ding Yan to question.

After hearing Deacon Ge's words of swearing, Ding Yan sneered: "All of them are loyal people to the sect? Then what is Shahe?"

Deacon Ge explained with a bitter face:

"Shahe, alas, he is a native of Heiyan City. After all, the sect has opened a resident here, so there must be people familiar with the local conditions to facilitate our management. When we recruited people, we also reviewed our wealth and entered the resident only after we confirmed that there was no problem."

Moreover, the Shahe River is cold and warm, and is obedient and has completed its resident affairs for several years without any abnormal movement.

As time goes by, they feel relieved.

"In other words, if he wasn't suddenly bribed, he would have lurked in the sect's headquarters from the beginning? He had also passed by all of you?" Ding Qi asked back.

Deacon Ge said bitterly: "Yes."

Yunlan Sect expanded greatly and set up stations in various areas of the empire. It was inevitable that the spy was inserted by those who were interested. Whether it was the senior sect or the outer deacons, they knew this clearly.

But even so, the crime of Deacon Sha is inevitable when it comes to the matter, but the crime of poor supervision is inevitable.

Ding Qi also knew this. Looking at the trembling deacons in front of him, he said indifferently:

"I have no right to make decisions about this matter, so I can only wait for the sect to deal with it. You can go there. I will strengthen the supervision work in the resident during this period. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."

When Deacon Ge heard this, his face seemed to have aged a little, and he bent down to him with all the deacons and dispersed speechlessly.

Ding Qi shook his head and returned to the guest room. Seeing Liu Ling closing her eyes and entering into a meditation, she did not disturb him. Instead, she returned to her yesterday's dress, dressed in a black robe, and quietly left the station and headed towards the Alchemist Union.

"The agreement with Silva is probably going to be invalid, but you can take the opportunity to find out the news and respond."

The black robe disappeared from the corner of the street.

......

Alchemists Union, West Hall.

Ding Yan and pale Silva walked on the stairs leading to the second floor. The latter smiled bitterly: "My friend, the plotting of Kuimu Beast has been invalid. Just pretend that I have never mentioned this."

Ding Qi pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why? Old man, you were full of confidence yesterday and patted your chest to promise me."

He had just arrived at the Alchemist Union and had not yet gone to the East Hall trading area when he ran into Silva and was pulled toward the office area in the West Hall.

Since both of them wore the badge of the fourth-grade alchemist today, the four soldiers guarding the entrance of the office area did not stop them, but they still registered their names before letting them go.

——Compared with yesterday, the number of guard soldiers in the Alchemist Union was twice as high as before, and his mental outlook was different from before. He looked like he was doing business and was obviously the elite in the Black Flame City army.

Silva did not answer, but took him to a spacious and deserted house. After the two of them sat down, he smiled bitterly and said, "You must have heard of what happened last night, right?"

Ding Qi frowned and said, "You mean, the city's big search last night?"

Silva nodded and shook his head again:

"Last night's search was to capture someone. Last night, a strong man from Douling took action in the city and destroyed two streets. The city lord guard who came to stop him was killed and injured by nearly half a hundred times. The city lord was furious, so he ordered the search."

Ding Wei's eyes were slightly darker: "But what does this have to do with the alchemist?"

Silva sighed:

"The fighting spirit powerhouse summoned a fire flame monster snake with a special flame, which had the strength of a fourth-level monster. Even the city lord's personal guard commander Li Pan died there. Those who can do this are very suspicious of the alchemist who is good at controlling fire."

Speaking of this, Silva paused slightly and looked at Ding's expression without a trace.

Ding Qi frowned: "The powerful fighting spirit summons a fourth-level monster? Is this the effect of some special fighting technique?"

Silva retracted his sight:

"Yes, the city lord decided after hearing the reward that it should be the snake people clan in the Tagor Desert. He didn't know why they sneaked into Black Flame City."

"Snake humans?" Ding Qi obviously didn't expect the pot to fly so far. "The Tagor Desert is in the eastern border of the empire. What will happen to them when they come to the northern province?"

"Who knows," Silva agreed, "I have heard that some powerful people from the Snake Human Clan can pull out the souls of the monsters and use the secret techniques to cultivate a special fighting technique. This fighting technique can not only preserve most of the strength of the monsters during their lifetime, but also become fearless under the guidance of the master.

"It is precisely because of this that the city lord thinks that the strong man from the Snake Tribe has sneaked into the Black Flame City."

"So that's it," Ding Qi looked solemn. No one knew what he was thinking. "Since that's the case, the old man and I have no chance to cooperate."

Silva also looked emotional:

"If this happens, the city lord will definitely not be able to pull himself away. I cannot go out privately. I have to wait for the city lord's orders at any time. If my friend is really interested in the beast fire of Kuimu Beast, why not wait here for a while and wait until the matter is calmed down before talking."

Ding Qi shook his head and said, "I still have something to do, so it's not easy to stay here for a long time. I'll leave in at most half a month."

The situation in Heiyan City is not clear and it is not a place to stay for a long time. In half a month, Liu Ling's injuries should be able to recover most of her injuries, which will not hinder her daily activities.

Silva spread his hands: "That's it, I can't force this."

Ding Qi nodded in agreement. The two chatted for a while and talked about medicine, and they all gained something.

About half an hour later, Ding Qi thought that Liu Ling should have woken up from the state of concentration, so he said goodbye.

Silva did not try to keep him too much. After a few words of politeness, he sent him out of the west hall, returned to the office area, and in the room where the two of them were talking.

In the room that should have been empty and deserted, a tall man in an imperial uniform stood with his hands behind his back and stood in front of the window.

Silva lowered her head respectfully: "The city lord, you have sent that man away."

The Lord of Black Flame City said "um" and said in a low tone: "Silva, do you think he may be the perpetrator of last night?"

Silva recalled Ding's performance and hesitated:

"In theory, as a fourth-grade alchemist, he has a mysterious origin, which is indeed possible that it may have caused the commotion last night. However, when he talked with me before, he looked calm and did not respond to my deliberate temptation. It was really hard to say."

The city lord of Heiyan City stared out the window, not knowing what he was thinking: "I know his origin. He is a disciple of Dan King Guhe. Ding Yan, known as the "Little Dan King", is currently traveling with his junior brother Liu Ling."

"It turned out to be him," Silva suddenly realized, "this seems to be no reason to take action, and he should be able to eliminate the suspicion."

The city lord of Heiyan City sneered: "This is not good. I also received a message that Liu Ling was attacked by an affair last night and was seriously injured and died."
