Chapter 414: Darkness under the lamp

In the city lord's mansion.

Lin Ji got his wish and saw Qi Ducheng, who was seriously injured last night.

At this time, Qi Ducheng's face was pale, and his body's energy and blood were weak.

His abdomen was wrapped in a bandage, and his upper body was half naked. He seemed to have aged much overnight.

Lin Ji dragged Geng Hu's body into the meeting hall, glanced at him twice, and then curled his lips and said: "It's a pity, even if it is cured, it will inevitably lead to a decline in state."

Not only Qi Ducheng was in the hall, but Qi Ning was also there.

Qi Ning recognized Lin Ji. When he heard Lin Ji ridiculing his father like this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

On the contrary, Qi Ducheng was not angry.

"Master Lin from the Tiantian Division wants to see me, why do you want to see me?" Qi Ducheng asked, his eyes falling on Geng Hu's body again, "Isn't this Brother Geng from the Sunset Sect? How did Brother Geng offend Master Lin?"

"He committed suicide." Lin Ji found a place to sit down and threw the body into the hall.

"The whereabouts of Lei Yunzhu were unknown, so Lin naturally coveted it. After several inquiries, he suspected that the matter was related to this brother Geng Hu, so he secretly followed him out of the city."

"After following him out of the city, Lin deliberately let him go a little further, then blocked his path first and then tried to force him to find out the whereabouts of Lei Yunzhu."

Lin Ji simply told the whole story.

"If he didn't have evil intentions, how could this man commit suicide and blame Lin? He must know the whereabouts of Lei Yunzhu, and at this moment, I think Lei Yunzhu has been sent out of the city."

After saying these words, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Qi Ducheng's reaction.

It turned out that Qi Ducheng was also sizing him up.

"Master Lin came here just to say this? Lei Yunzhu is not here, even if there are clues, it is useless, let alone the clues that have been broken."

"Lin came here to know who Geng Hu is most likely to conspire with. Lin doesn't know much about Fanyun City. After much thought, it would be more convenient to ask the city lord face to face."

As soon as he said this, Qi Ning stood up suddenly.

"Master Lin, my father is seriously injured. You shamelessly come to inquire about me and openly covet my Qi family's treasure. You are not taking me seriously in Cloud City."

Lin Ji Shaoran.

"The Qi family has disappeared. Just a few days' tour has already failed to control Fanyun City." Lin Ji chuckled, "Even your father doesn't dare to show off anymore. Where did you get the courage?"

After the words fell, Lin Ji looked at Qi Ducheng again.

"City Master Qi, it is true that Lin covets the Thunder Cloud Bead, but if Lin obtains the treasure, he will have to remember the Qi family's help."

"You want to use so-called favors in exchange for help from my Qi family? Master Lin's face is too much, that's Lei Yunzhu!"

"Just another clue."

Qi Ducheng shook his head, stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, Qi is going to recover from his injuries."

Hearing this, Lin Ji's eyes showed a bit of disappointment.

"Lin is disturbing me."

...

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Lin Ji sighed and finally put the matter of Lei Yunzhu down completely.

Geng Hu clearly knew the whereabouts of Lei Yunzhu, but he broke into the city and committed suicide. It was clearly a bait and a cover.

When Geng Hu left the city, the sound of the gate on the other side was obviously a bait.

Lei Yunzhu must have been a conspiracy among many people.

Thinking about it, by the time he left the city, Lei Yunzhu might have been sent to an unknown location.

If he could find any clues here at the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Ji might still have a chance to come into contact with the Thunder Cloud Bead.

But since the Qi family is unwilling to help, even if Lin Ji wastes his efforts to find clues, it may be too late.

One step slowly, one step slowly.

"There is no time in life that you can't force yourself to do anything, it's the only thing you can do."

Although he had given up in his heart, Lin Ji came to the north of the city again and came to Guanyun Mountain's station in the north of the city.

This time he did not break in quietly, but came to the door.

After knocking on the door, it was a little boy who opened the door.

"The teachers are meeting guests." The little boy responded, "Senior, please wait for a moment."

Lin Ji naturally didn't care.

After a while, several monks came out of the house, glanced at Lin Ji casually, and then walked away.

Ke Xiazi was seeing off guests from behind and also came to the door.

"Blind Ke, who are those people?" Lin Ji asked casually.

"Mr. Lin is here." Blind Ke bowed and saluted, "Those are colleagues from the Sunset Sect and have some friendship with the old man. They are here to say goodbye."

"Sunset Gate?" Lin Ji's expression froze and he looked deeply at Blind Ke.

"Why did Mr. Lin come here?" Blind Ke asked again.

"It's nothing. I couldn't find the whereabouts of Lei Yunzhu, so I gave up. I came here to tell you." Lin Ji said.

Blind Ke was noncommittal.

Originally, Lin Ji really just came to say hello.

But at this moment he had another whim.

"I just stopped a monk outside the city. That person was related to the Lei Yunzhu incident. Originally, Lin had already captured him, but someone interfered with the situation and made the person commit suicide. After that, the soul escaped."

Hearing this, Blind Ke shook his head and said, "It's such a pity."

"It's no pity. I gained it but lost my life."

Lin Ji did not enter the door and walked out instead.

As he walked, he smiled and said, "By the way, that person is also from Sunset Gate."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Ji's figure had already drifted away, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Blind Ke seemed to hear Lin Ji's laughter, whether it was ridicule or something else, he couldn't tell.

After all, he didn't say anything. After watching Lin Ji leave with blind eyes, he turned around and returned to the house.

"Tong'er, Haosheng is guarding the door."

"knew."

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The Lei Yunzhu incident gradually subsided, and the city lord's city blockade was in name only as early as the next day.

All the sects saw the weakness of the City Lord's Mansion and left whenever they wanted. The City Lord's Mansion was unable to stop them and did not dare to stop them.

In the inn room.

"Just give up like that?" Beishang asked with a half-smile.

Lin Ji was depressed for three days after he came back. After Beishang asked why, he also laughed at him for three days.

"I haven't given up yet." Lin Ji shook his head.

"But you haven't moved around in the inn for three days. Could it be that you expect Lei Yunzhu to fly to you on its own?" Beishuang was puzzled.

"Lei Yunzhu is still in the city." Lin Ji said, "I'm not the one who's anxious now."

Lin Ji poured himself a cup of tea, moving slowly and calmly.

"Have you not noticed that there have been a lot fewer monks in the city these days?" Lin Ji's eyes showed a hint of smile, "They have all gone to rob the city. As long as you are out of the city, it doesn't matter who you are, we will attack in groups.

Then, search him and seize the treasure."

"Some go for the Thunder Cloud Bead, and some go for fishing in troubled waters to make a fortune."

As Lin Ji spoke, he was thinking about Blind Ke's group at Guanyun Mountain.

"That's what it means to be dark under the lamp."
