The fifth thousand one hundred and thirty-six chapters create a storm
"I see." Ye Chen said, how could an elder in Anqu District have such great ambitions and want to seize Mu Zong's power? It turned out that there was something wrong with Mu Zong himself.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Chen knew that even an elder had such an idea, and that there were not many people like him in Mu Zong, which showed that Mu Zong's people were not united.
"But I'm still very curious. As far as the Principality of Lorta is concerned, can an elder be as powerful as a mere principality?" Ye Chen asked again.
"The principality is small and doesn't have much resources, but you underestimate a person's desires. When a person cannot improve in cultivation, he will think of ways to satisfy his own selfish desires." He lowered his dark eyebrows and asked.
Ye Chen said in a low voice.
Ye Chen nodded and understood. The elder's son had average talent and it was difficult to improve his cultivation. He could not satisfy his desire for cultivation, so he naturally put his desire elsewhere.
"Tell me immediately if there is any situation, and I want to join Mu Zong. I think the Principality of Lorta is a good entry point." Ye Chen said.
"The Principality of Lorta?" Hearing this, An An fell into deep thought, and soon nodded, indicating that this was indeed a relatively good opportunity.
The next day, early in the morning of Qingming Festival, the soldiers set off on their way early, and Ye Chen followed the team all the way back to the main city, Lorta City.
This is just a principality, and within a principality, there will only be one or a few big cities, and the others are towns and villages.
The main city we have arrived at now, according to the information obtained by Order, this city has a very long history and is a thousand-year-old city. Especially for mortals, this is a very historical city.
But what is interesting is that in the thousand years since the city was established, more than thirty changes of ownership have occurred, which means that the country has changed so many times.
"The Principality of Lorta has only been established for more than a hundred years, but with so many countries as its predecessors, it is already considered a country with a longer history." Order said.
The buildings in the ancient city are grand and grand, but after entering the city, the city is filled with a dead air. Everyone's face is lifeless, and most people keep their distance, and there is little contact.
Soon, the group passed a crematorium, which was set up in a residential area. The fire in the crematorium had been extinguished but black smoke was still rising, causing the entire city to be filled with a pungent burning smell.
.
At this time, Ye Chen saw a carriage pulling a cart of wrapped corpses passing by, and it was carrying residents who had died of illness.
Seeing this, Ye Chen stopped the carriage before leaving, jumped on the back of the carriage and tore open the bag wrapping the body.
"Hey! What are you doing!" The soldiers guarding the carriage rushed forward, but did not dare to get too far forward.
The deputy general also led the soldiers to rush over. He knew that Ye Chen wanted to check the body, so he cooperated with Ye Chen to block the soldiers guarding the carriage from the outside.
"What are you trying to do! When the disease comes back because of you, can you bear the responsibility?" the soldier responsible for guarding the carriage yelled.
"Responsible? Our general has died because of this plague, and we still haven't figured out whether this plague is a natural disaster or man-made!" The deputy general also yelled. It was obvious that the soldiers guarding the carriage were afraid of this deputy general who was at the peak of the warrior realm.
.
And this also attracted a lot of attention and attracted many people to watch. They stood in the distance and pointed at the deputy general.
There is no doubt that the plague has just been brought under control now, but yesterday there were signs of spreading again. After a night of emergency cleaning, someone came out to disrupt the situation. If the plague is allowed to run rampant then, will these soldiers be held responsible?
"What do you mean? I'm warning you not to act recklessly!" When the soldiers guarding the carriage tried to threaten the deputy general and his party, Ye Chen had already obtained clues from the corpse.
Seeing that Ye Chen had absorbed the toxin from the corpse in his palm, he jumped off the carriage.
"How is it?" The deputy general looked at the ball of poison in Ye Chen's hand and had a bad feeling.
"Different from the previous toxin, it is obviously weaker than the previous toxin. The toxin in my hand now will only make mortals sick and die, but will not cause practitioners to get sick. However, this toxin is well hidden and will not be sensed by ordinary practitioners.
Yeah, obviously someone poisoned it intentionally." Ye Chen said.
"What!" This made the deputy general realize something instantly.
"Damn it! Another fight for power!" the deputy general yelled.
During Ye Chen's conversation with the deputy general yesterday, the deputy general told Ye Chen that the various forces in Lorta City were in conflict with each other and that they had used all kinds of underhanded tricks to do harm, but he did not expect that even such insidious tricks were used.
"Uh." Ye Chen was stunned. Originally, Ye Chen wanted to say that this situation looked like poisoning by an outsider. Because he had dark information on his side, and the city of Lorta was fighting for power and profit on its own, there was no need to affect mortals.
Although this poison is not as good as the one yesterday, it is obviously not something that people from a small principality like Lorta can research and release.
However, Ye Chen did not explain that the contradictions in the Lorta Principality could be exploited to do something.
The news spread quickly. It was suspected that the plague was too strange. In addition, the nobles in the principality have been fighting for power recently, which has led to the declining living conditions of the residents. At this moment, they did not care whether the situation was true or false.
Faced with the dissatisfaction of the nobles, the anger was momentarily ignited.
The situation has become somewhat out of control, and more and more residents have gathered here.
"This..." The deputy general reacted at this time. They went into the city to report this problem to the Duke. They came mainly to solve the problem, not to create trouble. Now that the matter has become a big deal, how should it end?
But now it was no longer a situation that the deputy general could resolve alone. The deputy general felt that there were many unkind eyes on him, like a wolf being devoured by a tiger, and he wished he could rush out and devour him alive right now.
"You see, you have touched the interests of many people, which shows that there are people with vested interests behind this matter." Ye Chen said to the deputy general.
"Then what should we do now?" The deputy general was a little panicked. He was originally cooperating with Ye Chen to investigate the corpses, but who knew that Ye Chen's words would cause such a stir.
"Just wait and see what happens. Anyway, this matter can be settled without just killing you. Your life is worthless, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being." Ye Chen patted his shoulder and smiled.
The deputy general's face turned dark. How could he still smile at this time?
As the storm gets bigger and bigger, it spreads from one person to another, and it has a tendency to spread throughout the city.
As Ye Chen expected, the nobles in the city couldn't stand it anymore.
Groups of elite warriors equipped with bright red armor rushed out of the Duke's castle and rushed here...
