In the following period of time, Yunxiao City was as peaceful as ever on the surface, but huge changes took place in the dark.
The entire Yunxiao City is shrouded in a vague fluctuation that is difficult for people with low cultivation levels to detect. People in the realm of celestial phenomena can faintly sense some abnormalities. Only supreme figures know that it is the fluctuation of the formation.
But Xiao Muyang in the palace was not clear about all this.
Now he is already tempering his second fire, devoting a lot of time to his practice, and leaving all matters of the Hou Mansion to Hua Qianyu and Song Chunqiu.
In a magnificent restaurant, at a window seat on the second floor, many people were chatting, laughing, and drinking wine, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Do you know where the current fluctuations in the city come from?" A young man in his twenties, dressed in white, looked at the crowd around him and asked, with a somewhat mysterious smile on his face.
As soon as the words fell, the space suddenly became quiet.
A series of surprised eyes were cast on the young man in white, and everyone's hearts were stirred up. During this period, they did sense some strange fluctuations, but they didn't know where those fluctuations came from.
"Do you know the inside story?" One of them couldn't help but ask.
"This is natural." The young man in white showed a proud look and said with a smile: "Some time ago, Xiao Hou invited a powerful formation master. Now he is setting up formations in the city in order to fight against the Lin family in the future."
This young man in white is named Du Qiu, and he is a core disciple of the Chongxiao Sword Sect. He accidentally heard the elders in the sect mention the formation, so he knew this secret.
"Is this happening?" Everyone's expressions changed one after another, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes. It turned out that it was the fluctuation of the formation.
"Even if we set up a formation, I'm afraid it won't be of any use." But one person shook his head and said in a helpless tone: "There are so many strong people in the Lin family, and it's easy to break through the formation."
After hearing this person's words, the joy in everyone's eyes suddenly dimmed.
They knew in their hearts that the man was telling the truth. If they could resist the Lin family with the help of formations, then they would be underestimating the Lin family. The name of the First Family was no joke.
Seeing the changes in everyone's eyes, Du Qiu immediately said: "Xiao Hou must have his intention in making such arrangements. You should believe Xiao Hou."
Although he did not think that a formation could withstand the Lin family, Xiao Muyang was his idol and had created many miracles. He believed that Xiao Muyang would be able to protect Yunxiao City.
"That's right, Xiao Hou should be believed." Everyone agreed, with a bright look in their eyes.
Although Xiao Hou is young, his achievements have surpassed many of the stronger men of the older generation, and he will definitely be able to lead Yunxiao City to become stronger in the future.
After some conversation, everyone left the restaurant.
Du Qiu was walking on the way back to Chongxiao Sword Sect, thinking about what he should do after returning, but at this moment, a middle-aged man in black robe stopped in front of him.
Seeing that the middle-aged man in black robe had no intention of giving way, Du Qiu frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Which sect are you a disciple of?"
A low voice sounded in Du Qiu's mind. The voice contained a majestic meaning that made his soul tremble. He wanted to turn around and leave, but found that his body could not move or make any sound.
At this moment, he was extremely frightened, knowing that the middle-aged man in black robe before him was far more powerful than him, and it only took one thought to kill him.
"I come from the Chongxiao Sword Sect." Du Qiu said in a message.
"Who is that formation master and what formation is he setting up?" the other party asked again.
"I...I'm just an ordinary disciple, I don't know anything." Du Qiu's voice was trembling.
"Since you refuse to tell me, I have no choice but to come and find him myself." The black robe said indifferently, his voice fell, and an extremely domineering spiritual power rushed into Du Qiu's mind, directly peeking into his memory.
Du Qiu's soul trembled violently, and his face showed an extremely painful look. After a moment, there was no sparkle in his eyes, as if he had lost his mind.
The middle-aged man in black robe glanced at Du Qiu displeasedly, as if he didn't get what he wanted, and immediately walked past Du Qiu.
The entire process happens in a few breaths without anyone noticing.
...
Two days later, in the meeting hall of the Marquis Mansion.
"Senior Song, several disciples of my sect have been killed in the past two days, and their souls have been wiped out. I'm afraid there is something fishy behind this." Mu Heng looked at Song Chunqiu who was sitting on the throne and said, his expression extremely serious.
"A disciple of our sect was also killed." Several other sect leaders also agreed. They realized the seriousness of the matter and came together to report it to Song Chunqiu.
Song Chunqiu's eyes flickered uncertainly, and he had a vague guess in his heart that it might have been someone from the Lin family.
After pondering for a moment, Song Chunqiu looked at Mu Heng and others and ordered: "You go back first, I will handle this matter, and don't let the disciples go out in the next few days."
"As ordered." Everyone replied and immediately left together.
After a period of time, Song Chunqiu came to a place in the void. The front was empty, and nothing unusual could be seen.
However, after a moment, a light door appeared in the void, and extremely powerful spatial fluctuations filled the light door.
Song Chunqiu's figure flashed into the light gate, and the light gate quickly disappeared, and the void returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened just now.
At this moment, Song Chunqiu came to another space. In front of him, an old figure sat cross-legged, surrounded by countless dazzling array runes, which was dazzling.
"Why do you have time to come to my place?" Gongsun Pan suddenly turned his head, looked at Song Chunqiu and said with a smile.
"There is one thing that may require you to take action." Song Chunqiu said with a serious face.
Seeing the solemn look on Song Chunqiu's face, the smile on Gongsun Pan's face gradually faded and asked: "What happened?"
"Many disciples of the sect have been killed in the past two days. I guess it may be someone from the Lin family." Song Chunqiu said: "That person was very cautious and did not do anything openly, but wiped out other people's souls.
, without showing any trace.”
"If we conduct a large-scale search, it will definitely frighten the snake, and it will not have a deterrent effect. Do you have a way to find him?"
A cold and cold light flashed in Gongsun Pan's eyes. He should be damned for using such despicable means.
"I will definitely find him within three days." Gongsun Pan said coldly, as long as someone kills someone within his sight, they will not be able to escape from his grasp.
Song Chunqiu nodded lightly and had no doubts about Gongsun Pan's words. He said that if he could find the man within three days, he would definitely be able to do it.
"Let's go." Song Chunqiu left a voice behind, and then left the space in a flash.
