Lin Chen left with Huang Tianli and the others, but did not leave Huoran City. Instead, he found a restaurant to stay.
After all, there is still a competition to recruit a bride.
The guard chief sighed. He wanted to leak something to Lin Chen so that Lin Chen would be interested in it and get involved.
This will undoubtedly share the pressure on the city lord's palace.
But I didn't expect that Lin Chen didn't pick up the fight, and I don't know whether he saw through his intentions or was not interested at all.
"Well, let's go back and report to the city lord first. At least... the young lady shouldn't have to marry Lin Qilue, but that's not necessarily a good thing." The guard sighed and hurriedly led people back to the city lord's mansion.
What happened in the Red Hall naturally spread quickly throughout the entire Huoran City. Everyone was shocked and panicked.
Sang Chiquan's death had already caused a lot of riots. After all, the prince of a country died in Huoran City, and there could be no follow-up.
Huosang Kingdom will definitely come to ask for an explanation.
But I didn't expect that this was not a big deal at all. Now, the expert realm is dead, and he is still a member of the Blazing Ember Sword Sect.
This is horror!
I'm afraid that the situation in Huo Ran City will change because of this!
"Hey, these guys are really helpful. I just planned to push things along and disrupt the situation, but I didn't expect that I didn't need to intervene. The matter has become bigger. Even if Huo Ran City is not in chaos, it won't work!" Someone secretly sneered.
This is even better than doing it themselves!
After all, even for them, it would be difficult for them to attack Lin Qilue, and Lin Chen directly detonated it. By then, the strong men of the Blazing Sword Sect will definitely come!
This helped them a lot.
There is no need to take risks now, just wait for chaos.
"Thank you, stranger, your sacrifice will not be in vain!" The man laughed and drank happily.
"Looks like you're in a good mood?"
But a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
The man was about to answer, but he was startled suddenly, and his face suddenly turned pale.
He was also decisive, instantly stimulating his profound energy and wanted to run out.
However, he suddenly stopped, because on his neck, a chill hit his forehead. If he continued to rush forward, he would cut off his own neck.
The man was stiff all over, Looking back, I saw a young man sitting on a chair and drinking tea.
And on him, a black shadow swept out like a dragon, which was the sword edge between his neck!
Is it a dragon or a sword?
The man was horrified, and at this moment, he also knew the identity of the person coming.
"You, what do you want to do? We had no grudges in the past and have no grudges recently. I don't remember ever offending you!" The man forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice.
"Oh?" Lin Chen smiled and said nothing.
The man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, as if his heart had been clenched.
"It turns out that Your Excellency has noticed it a long time ago, but we have no intention of harming You, we are just going with the trend!" The man said tremblingly.
"You don't seem to value your own life very much," Lin Chen snorted coldly.
To secretly kill Sang Chiquan was just to frame the blame, but to say that he just followed the trend lightly was simply ridiculous.
When the man heard this, he suddenly trembled and knelt on the ground.
"Your Excellency, whatever you want to do, I will definitely do it!" the man said quickly.
"Who are you?" Lin Chen asked.
It is true that he has no intention of the possible battle in Huoran City, but since these guys behind the scenes have their thoughts on his head, naturally he cannot treat it as nothing happened.
The man's expression changed, and he obviously didn't want to speak.
He glanced at Lin Chen, who was just sitting casually, waiting for him to speak without any expression.
But the more so, the stronger the fear in that person's heart.
Finally, he spoke, his voice was very hoarse, "I belong to Kaguya's secret door, code name is Ziye. The purpose of coming to Huo Ran City this time... is for one thing."
"Kaguya's secret door", Lin Chen's heart moved slightly.
This is the first time he has heard of this organization.
"Your Excellency, it's better not to ask about Kaguya's secret door. Speaking this name is already my limit. Even if you want to ask more questions, I can't answer you," Ziye said with a bitter smile.
It seems that this organization has restrictions on this, and Midnight cannot tell the relevant content.
What an amazing organization!
"Then it seems that you can't talk about the so-called things in your mouth?" Lin Chen snorted coldly.
Ziye's face changed and turned pale and bloodless. He thought for a long time before saying, "We have indeed been placed under a spiritual curse. We cannot say many things. I, I can only tell you that the thing is in the city lord's palace!"
"Is it related to the martial arts contest to recruit a bride?" Lin Chen asked instead.
Midnight breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lin Chen would forcefully want to know, and that would be the only way for him to die in pain.
At that moment, Ziye said quickly, "Huo Tianxiang is really helpless to compete in martial arts. Lin Qi is very ambitious and wants to marry Huo Tianxiang by force in order to annex Huoran City."
"Lin Qi's strategy was so powerful that it was difficult for Huoran City to directly confront him, so Huo Tianxiang simply announced a contest to recruit a bride."
"Although Lin Qilue was dissatisfied, he agreed. After all, in his opinion, who can be his opponent in a martial arts competition?"
Lin Chen nodded, but was not interested in these, "What then?"
Ziye's heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Qilue has not shown any interest in Huo Tianxiang before. This time he wants to forcefully marry her, and it's a bit sudden!"
"There is a high probability that he also knew some inside information, and he already coveted the power of Huo Ran City, so he took action directly."
This is what the guard captain wanted to reveal to Lin Chen.
It involves a lot.
What could it be?
To be honest, Lin Chen started to become curious now.
And even if you intervene, it's not a waste of time.
After all, Lin Chen showed up just to show the Qingxuan Divine Sect. It was expected that the Blazing Ember Sword Sect would intervene, but now it was just to make things more intense.
Since another fight is unavoidable, it is naturally a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
"Can you fight for it?" Lin Chen asked.
Ziye pouted and said, "We mainly wanted to fish in troubled waters. In fact, the organization felt that our judgment was wrong, so we did not send strong support."
"Oh?" This surprised Lin Chen.
"why?" There was a look of pain on Ziye's face. It was obvious that what he was about to say was restricted by the forbidden spell of spiritual words. But since he meant to say it, it was obviously just marginal information and he should be able to handle it.
As Lin Chen waited, he gained a deeper understanding of the Word Spirit Forbidden Curse. Finally, Ziye said hoarsely, "The organization believes that that thing will never appear here."
"The organization has always been rigorous. Since it is so certain this time, there is a high probability that we know where the thing really is."
After saying this, Ziye completely let go and said, "If you are interested, we can cooperate. After all, this time, our strength is indeed insufficient."
"Since your inference has been rejected, why are you still insisting?" Lin Chen was puzzled.
Ziye gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see what it is. At least the City Lord's Mansion is indeed hiding something, and the answer will be available soon."
Lin Chen thought for a moment, and then asked Ziye to share some information he had obtained before.
Since he has his own judgment, there should always be something to back it up.
Ziye was a little hesitant, but he always felt that Lin Chen's perception was extremely sharp and could even capture part of his thoughts. If he told a lie, he would be noticed.
At that time, Ziye was very sure that Lin Chen would kill him without hesitation.
In this way, Ziye explained in detail the intelligence clues he had obtained previously.
"Your Excellency, even if you know this, I'm afraid it's difficult to make a judgment. After all, the things involved are not something ordinary people can master. I think even the Blazing Ember Sword Sect has only noticed something strange, but doesn't know what it means.
What are you holding?" Ziye said, feeling a little proud.
He belongs to the Kaguya Secret Sect, which is a large organization that cannot be compared to a mere worldly sect. He has access to more information than the Blazing Ember Sword Sect!
Although this Lin Chen is extremely talented, he is only a secular person after all, so what can he know?
Ziye understood that Lin Chen's purpose in asking these questions was to find out what the thing was. Unfortunately, he overestimated himself.
"Supreme Fire Soul, this thing really shouldn't appear in a place like this," Lin Chen said.
When Ziye heard this, his eyes suddenly widened with a look of astonishment on his face.
He couldn't care less about fear at this moment, couldn't help but stand up, and said in a voiceless voice, "How did you know!"
