Leng Xuan said: "But they never revealed any information about you. They just said that you went to the ghost cave to practice in seclusion."
"Really?" Hearing this, Tong Yan seemed quite surprised and asked, "Did the three of them leave Lingcheng?"
"No." Leng Xuan replied. Tong Yan has stayed in the ghost cave for thousands of years, so he probably doesn't know about the changes in the mausoleum city. So, he briefly described the current situation in the mausoleum city. After listening to his story
, Tong Yan couldn't help but smile, but the smile was a little bitter, "The three of them... are all very good. When I was there, the three of them were loyal to me. Lingcheng can be where it is today thanks to their help back then.
.However, people all have their own ambitions and desires, and it is understandable that they do so. After all, they still have to continue to survive in Lingcheng."
"They didn't tell others the truth, probably because they were afraid that if the matter came out, someone in Lingcheng would have different intentions. At that time, the three of them were Da Luo Jinxian, but there were one or two supreme powerful men in Lingcheng. Once those people
If people know that I am gone, they will probably seize power. With the abilities of the three of them at the time, they will definitely be unable to stop it. I guess they want to use my prestige to act as their protective umbrella so that they can continue to develop."
"Senior, what do you mean by the 'truth' you keep talking about?"
"Before I left, I made it very clear to them that I would resign as city lord and leave Lingcheng forever. But the fact is that I did not leave Lingcheng, but chose to live in seclusion in a ghost cave. They
Let the word go out that I am practicing in seclusion in a ghost cave, it is just a coincidence."
"Why?" Leng Xuan asked in confusion, "Don't you act well as the Lord of Lingcheng? Why did you leave so suddenly? Are you tired of this identity?"
"It's not that I'm tired." Tong Yan said, "I built the mausoleum with my own hands. I spent a lot of effort building it. If I were tired, I wouldn't have put so much effort into building the mausoleum.
So I left because of compromise and helplessness. Before I built the mausoleum, do you know what I did?" Hearing this, Leng Xuan said: "I heard others say that you once served the King of Hell and the King of Ghosts."
"That's right." Tong Yan smiled and said, "Don't you think it's strange that they are mortal enemies, why can I work for them both at the same time?"
Leng Xuan nodded. He really couldn't understand this. With the character of the King of Hell, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
"I work for both of them at the same time because there is a secret involved, a secret that only the three of us know. I am responsible for controlling this secret, so if they want to find out the secret, they must go through me." Tong
Yan explained, "Because of the existence of that secret, the three of us have been living in peace. But then, the secret suddenly changed and I had to leave them. Before I left, I explained it to the King of Hell and the King of Ghosts, and
I promised not to let this secret leak out. At the beginning, they all expressed their trust in me and did not embarrass me. But later, shortly after I established Lingcheng, they were probably afraid that I would not keep my promise, so they sent
People assassinate me. Unfortunately, I spent countless efforts to build the mausoleum city, how can it be so easy to break through."
