Chapter 393 Joining forces with trustworthy people
Author: Oolai
After the head of the Long family finished handling the matter, he came back to continue discussing with the city lord.
He declined politely: "The ancestor has not been in the mansion these days, and we don't know his whereabouts. If he is still in Huayue City, or hears about Huayue City outside, he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. Maybe
Ancestor is trying to find a way to rescue us."
Nangong City Lord heard what he meant, that is, he could not guarantee that he would invite the ancestor of the Long family to come out. He was a little anxious, "Can't you really tell the ancestor of the Long family?"
The head of the Long family looked regretful, "I'm sorry, the ancestor of the Long family believes that the people of the Long family must be self-reliant, and we can't just ask him for everything just because he is here, so he didn't give us the way to contact him. Why don't the city lord go and make it clear?"
Patriarch Huang of Demen, and Patriarch Zhao of Tianbaoyuan?”
The city lord smiled helplessly, "These two ancestors are also missing and have not been seen in Huayue City for many years."
The head of the Long Family thought to himself, of course this is the case. He was sure that the two ancestors were traveling far away and would not be able to return to Huayue City for the time being, so he chose to launch it at this time.
But he still had to pretend to be as worried as the city lord, "This is really unlucky. I will try my best to contact the ancestors. If I can't contact them, I will do my best to help the city lord and solve the current predicament with the monks in the city.
.”
The city lord also knew that if the ancestors could not be found, there was no need to waste time on this matter. It was better to think of other ways.
He replied: "Thank you very much, Master Long. Right now, we just need to figure out what's going on with the invisible barrier in the wilderness and how to crack it. The mortals who heard the message said that from the outside, our Huayue City seems to have disappeared.
Also, what is the function of Wanhua Tower’s magic circle and how many are there in the city.”
These two things are the only things the monks in the city can work on.
"I'll send a few elders from the clan to follow the city lord to have a look." We really need to send people to the city lord to keep an eye on him. If something unexpected happens and the ancestor's plan is ruined, it will be bad.
The city lord didn't know the details, but he just thought that the more people there would be, the better. "Thank you very much, city lord."

After Tang Yue came out, he realized that Huayue City was completely trapped, and exclaimed: "The ancestor of the Long family wants to sacrifice the entire city to save the Dragon Emperor Tree?"
Ji Chongguang's expression was solemn, "Looking at the current situation, the possibility of him doing this is very high."
Zangxian said: "There should be other people in the city who are helpers of the Long family, but we don't know who they are. Who can we trust now?"
Tang Yue said: "The monks from the outer city should not collude with the Long family, but that's not necessarily the case."
Ji Chongguang said: "Contact the elders of Qing Palace and Wuji Mountain first, there should be no problem."
Ji Chongguang knew the details of his sect, and no one colluded with people of other surnames behind the Ji family's back.
And they had always been on good terms with the Shangqing Palace. He knew the character of Peak Master Gongsun very well. He only studied strange arts in the mountains on weekdays, and there was no need to collude with the Long family.
Tang Yue nodded, went back to the villa first, found Peak Master Gongsun, and explained the matter to him.
After hearing this, Peak Master Gongsun pondered for a while, "I didn't expect that the ancestor of the Long family had stayed in the world of immortal cultivation for hundreds of years because of this matter.
I'm afraid that the Dragon King Tree matter is his inner demon, which has affected him and prevented him from ascending."
There were only four people in the room, namely her, Ji Chongguang, Zangxian and Gongsun Peak Master. Tang Yue thought for a while and felt that it was better to explain the matter of Meng Furong.
"When something happened to the Shui family, a senior came to me and is now living in my living space."
Several people have heard about this matter, and Peak Master Gongsun knows more, "Are you talking about the senior Meng who comes from the hidden family in Xianyuan Mountain?"
Although Meng Furong is already a weapon spirit, most people who heard about this incident sympathized with her experience, admired her practice, and still respected her as senior.
Tang Yue felt that Meng Furong's face was too young. She called her sister when they first met her, but now she can't change her tune.
Tang Yue nodded, "Yes, she is actually the one who cursed the Dragon King Tree for six hundred years and made the tree wither. She has some entanglements with the ancestors of the Long family."
Ji Chongguang immediately thought of the woman in the mural. It turns out that if it was the Meng family, there would indeed be a way to curse the Long family's sacred tree.
Zangxian said: "There is such a dispute. Does Senior Meng know what the ancestor of the Long family will do?"
He didn't look at the mural carefully and didn't know the details.
"She doesn't know exactly what the ancestor of the Long family will do. After all, he is a Mahayana monk now. She only knows that on the day of the Nine Stars in three days, he will borrow the power of heaven and earth to make something happen.
But Sister Meng said that she wants to see the current formations in other places, maybe she can know what the ancestor of the Long family is going to do."
Master Gongsun Peak said: "Nangong City Master will not participate in the sacrifice of the monks in the city. Although I don't interact with him often, he is dedicated to Huayue City from the bottom of his heart."
After all, Peak Master Gongsun is a hundred years older and has more life experience than them, so his judgment makes sense.
In order to prevent too many people from entering the City Lord's Mansion and alert the Long family, Ji Chongguang took Tang Yue, who was hiding, into the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord had just returned from the Long family and was surprised to see Tang Yue, "What is going on?"
He not only wanted to know how Tang Yue came back, but also wanted to know the ins and outs of the whole thing so that he could make preparations.
After listening to what they said, the city lord called his daughter and ordered: "Yan'er, go and call the personal guards in the city lord's mansion. We have to act in secret."
The City Lord's Mansion also has secret places, but they are not built underground like the Long Family and Wanhua Tower tunnels.
Tang Yue released everyone in the secret place arranged by the city lord, including Rou Tianfeng, his men, and the victim monks.
Rou Tianfeng lay on the ground, woke up after a while, and immediately remembered what happened to him. After a burst of white mist, he disappeared.
Moreover, he had a lot of dreams related to the past. Now that he thought about it, someone must be using a secret method to look at his past memories, and he was suddenly horrified.
Looking around, it turned out that it was no longer his underground secret room, but a strange interrogation hall.
He was tied up with a golden fairy binding rope. I think he once wanted to use this thing to tie up Tang Yue.
The city lord who was sitting on top said coldly: "Rou Tianfeng, I already know that you are an evil cultivator who does all kinds of evil, and you maliciously deprived your spiritual roots in the city.
After all, Huayue City is where you live all year round, and it can also be considered your hometown.
Why are you so cruel and attack the monks in the city? What do you and the ancestor of the Long family want to do to Huayue City?"
Rou Tianfeng was surprised. It was clear that he had the secret method of the teaching, and even if others searched for his soul, they would not be able to see the person above him.
Why is the city lord so sure that it is the ancestor of the Long family, and he has also been discovered? Yes, if you want to come out, you must come out from the secret house of the ancestor of the Long family.
But he still wanted to struggle, "If you don't care for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. What's wrong with me wanting to become an immortal? What does this have to do with the ancestor of the Long family?"
