Ling Chen remained silent, looking down at the two people kneeling in front of him, his dark pupils filled with doubts.
"Senior Ling, you must help us, please." The man in sackcloth next to him knelt on the ground and moved towards Ling Chen's seat.
If the senior in front of him really had a way to help him find his master, he might be their great benefactor, and it would be natural for him to kneel down and express his gratitude.
Looking at the two people on the ground with pleading faces, Ling Chen remained unmoved, but the corners of his mouth twitched. He had better ask first, what was going on? He must have forced the two of them to plead with him so urgently.
"You two, Ling knows very little about what you two are pleading for. You might as well come and see if Ling can be of any help?" Ling Chen whispered to the two of them.
"Senior, are you willing to help us??" Long Ling'er raised her pretty face and looked at Ling Chen on the wooden chair in surprise. After seeing his calm face, Long Ling'er stood up, raised her hand and sent out a few formations in the guest room.
Arrange the next strange formation.
Then the man in sackcloth also patted the gray layer on his knees, stood up with Long Ling'er who looked surprised, and looked at Ling Chen on the seat with great respect. Ling Chen waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down too.
"If you have anything, just tell me! I don't have enough time." Ling Chen still had to go back and take Longyan Fruit to restore the weak breath in his body. However, driven by strong curiosity, he really wanted to know what these two people thought about him.
What is the purpose of this respectful gesture?
"Senior Ling, let me tell you a secret about the City Lord's Mansion, but please don't tell anyone else."
Hearing Long Ling'er's extremely serious words on the opposite table in his mind, Ling Chen couldn't help but be startled. Could it be that Long Ling'er's plea was related to the city lord's palace?
surgical opening;
"Okay, tell me what you are begging me for. Ling knows that his strength is low, but he is also willing to listen to the secrets of the City Lord's Mansion that the two of you have said."
"Senior Ling, it's actually nothing. Do you still remember the four hawkers who argued with me and my senior brother that day at the City Lord's Mansion? In fact, the four hawkers did not have any direct conflict with us, but my senior brother Hua Ling and I.
Shi hired them to do this!" After Long Ling'er said this, he looked back and glanced helplessly at the pale man in linen clothes. Ling Chen saw a deep sense of powerlessness in the eyes of the two of them looking at each other.
Without words, Long Ling'er's words attracted Ling Chen's desire for discovery, but he was not in a hurry because he knew that Long Ling'er would answer all this for him next.
"Senior Ling, maybe you are confused now, wondering why we, Hua Lingshi, hired four vendors and caused this inexplicable quarrel, which even went to the city lord's palace." Seeing that Ling Chen's face did not express his expectations.
Out of curiosity, Long Ling'er stopped transmitting the message and nervously watched every move on Ling Chen's face.
In his mind, he recalled the scene of passing monks in the square that day longing for the luxury of the City Lord's Mansion. Their extremely contagious words even made Ling Chen, who was listening on the side, want to go to the City Lord's Mansion to witness it in person. Ling Chen hesitated for a moment and said
;
"Could it be that you are deliberately trying to use this incident to enter the city lord's palace?"
"Not bad!" The man in linen looked directly at Ling Chen, and a vague and faint wave overflowed from Ling Chen's body, arousing the slightest surprise on the man's face.
"Senior Brother, Senior Ling was able to be kept in the City Lord's Mansion by Senior Li Kai that day, so he has his own merits. You must not be rude." Long Ling'er noticed the look of surprise on the face of the man in linen clothes beside him, and was afraid that he would offend the man in front of him.
Senior Ling couldn't help but voiced his advice.
After hearing the junior sister's dissuasion, the man in sackcloth bowed his head respectfully, not daring to look at Ling Chen.
"You continue talking." Ling Chen nodded. The man in linen clothes must have noticed the declining aura in his body, so he had doubts about his own cultivation.
Ling Chen didn't allow Ling Chen to think too much. Long Ling'er in front of him didn't give up at all because of Ling Chen's weak aura. For them, Ling Chen in front of them might be their last chance.
"Just half a year ago, my senior brother and I followed the Master to Lucheng. At that time, the Master told us that he was invited by the Lord of Lucheng, saying that he was going to explore an ancient cave together, and we discussed that he and the Lord and others would take a ride in Lucheng.
We will go to the teleportation formation inside, while my senior brother and I will stay in Lucheng waiting for the master’s return.”
"Gu Xiu Cave? Take the teleportation array in Lucheng?" The dark pupils looked directly at Long Ling'er and the man in sackcloth. The dark and deep pupils were like a bottomless black hole, with a strange charm that seduces people.
The man in sackcloth was frightened, and he no longer dared to look down on Ling Chen in the slightest.
"Keep talking." In the quiet guest room, Ling Chen's indifferent words echoed in their minds again.
"However, on the seventh day when the master entered the city lord's palace, my senior brother and I suddenly received a talisman message containing the master's life essence and blood." Long Ling'er looked sad, seeming to recall the first time he received it.
The shocked expression upon seeing the Master's communication talisman.
"What does the talisman say?" Ling Chen glanced at Long Ling'er's pretty little face, and tears flowed unconsciously. He turned sideways and asked the man in linen clothes who looked better on his side.
"The master's communication talisman said that they rode the teleportation array into a strange extraterrestrial space. It was not an ancient cave at all. It could be said to be an ethereal secret realm with boundless and rich aura, and there were natural materials within reach.
Earth treasure, a spiritual liquid that is so rich that it cannot be dissolved, can greatly increase our cultivation speed, and it can be called a fairyland on earth."
"..." Ling Chen nodded, looking at the man in linen clothes saying these words with longing, he really didn't believe it.
"However, under the hypocritical veil of countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Master suddenly said that it was a space full of dangers. Disasters broke out frequently in their team. For a time, the entire mysterious extraterrestrial space became dark and turned into a
The most terrifying Shura region in the world, countless terrifying illusions have swallowed up most of the monks in Master's team."
"The communication talisman was interrupted at this point. Holding the communication talisman containing Master's life essence and blood, my junior sister and I waited fearfully for Master in Lucheng for half a month, but we still didn't get any information about Master's whereabouts.
, I only know that after the master and the city lord took the teleportation array in Lucheng to the other side, they never came back."
"So, your father left the teleportation formation with the city lord?" After hearing this, Ling Chen understood the reason and continued;
"But I heard from fellow Taoist Li Kai that the city lord of Lucheng is in retreat at the moment? Why does it sound so out of place with you?"
When Long Ling'er heard Ling Chen's doubtful words, he hurriedly explained: "No, it's not like that! The master did leave with the Lord of Lucheng. It was not until the teleportation array collapsed due to inexplicable reasons that the master and the others returned even more
Not coming anymore, Li Kai
I was afraid that announcing that the three major city lords were not in Lucheng would cause unnecessary panic in the city, so I deliberately announced to the outside world that the city lord was in seclusion, and also extended the time for the city lord to be in seclusion and the time when the teleportation array collapsed by half a year to avoid suspicion in the city."
"In the past six months, my junior sister and I have gone to Tianqi Palace countless times, trying to find out the master's whereabouts, but Li Kaitang shunned us all. In the end, Li Kai even ordered the guards to prevent my junior sister and me from entering the city lord's mansion."
"So you hired four hawkers to deliberately cause disputes so that you could sneak into the city lord's palace, but Li Kai still saw through your intentions and directly dealt with the four hawkers without saying anything?" Ling Chen was a little excited after hearing this from the two of them.
The words clarified the broad meaning of the two people's words.
Only then did Li Kai punish the four hawkers indiscriminately and decisively in the main hall that day. Finally, under the pressure of Li Xun, he handled the matter perfectly and appropriately. It turned out that he had already seen that the four hawkers
People are a guise.
"Senior, you must help us. In the past six months, our master's whereabouts have been unknown, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead. My junior sister and I have been living in Lucheng like a year." The man in linen was passionate and angry. He knelt in front of Ling Chen, with a look on his face.
Looking at Ling Chen sincerely.
"Oh, what you two said is very vague. Your father and the city lord are going to the extraterritorial space together? Specifically, it should be to hunt for treasures. However, according to the communication talisman sent back by your father, that extraterritorial space also contains the Shura Hell.
crisis, you must know that the Lord of Lucheng is a powerful monk in the psychic realm.
What's the reason why they can't come back? And what can I do for you?" Ling Chen calmly looked at Long Ling'er and the two in front of him, not even saying whether what these two people said was true, even if he wanted to
There is nothing I can do to help. There is no direct ratio between a monk in the psychic realm and my current level of cultivation.
"Senior, weren't you left in the City Lord's Mansion by Senior Li Kai that day? You should have a good relationship with him. Can you help us inquire about Master's situation?" The man in linen clothes held the last glimmer of hope and begged Ling Chen.
.
Long Ling'er also looked at Ling Chen with hope. Facing the hopeful eyes of the two people, Ling Chen sighed in his heart. It seemed that these two people really misunderstood him. His relationship with Li Kai was at best nothing.
It was just cooperation. Ling Chen agreed to help Li Kai find a formation master to repair the teleportation array in Lucheng, and Li Kai gave him a chance to use the teleportation array.
You know, in the current dark world, no matter how far the teleportation is, as long as it is connected to the teleportation array, it will cost thousands of spirit stones. Even the cross-border formations require double the amount of spirit stones. Ling Chen is not a wealthy person.
After the forced bidding for the Purple Flame Ax Talisman, his worth was reduced to nothing.
Of course, even if Li Kai doesn't ask Ling Chen for help, Ling Chen will try to send a message to Su Mu, because walking back to the Black Bear Mountains is not only a long distance of nearly two thousand miles, but also has to pass through many checkpoints, chasms and chasms along the way.
The teleportation array can reach the Black Bear Mountains instantly, which is undoubtedly a lot of shortcuts.
After clearly escaping from the underground palace, he and Su Mu should be on the outskirts of the Xinhan Desert. Why were they suddenly and inexplicably transferred to the territory of the Yan Kingdom? The entire sense of direction was too far off.
Before Ling Chen could think more, Long Ling'er's sad voice came again in his mind;
"Senior Ling, we don't expect too much. It's just that now my senior brother and I can't even take a step forward in Tianqi Palace. We only hope that Senior Ling can enter Tianqi Palace and help my senior brother and sister pay more attention to the situation of the teleportation array.
