"Yes!" This subordinate will do his best! " Protector Xi and Protector Nan said respectfully.
"Alright, Protector Xi stay. Everyone else can leave!" "Recently, the situation in the capital has been in turmoil. Be careful." Ling Yun waved his hand indifferently and said.
Not long later, the hall became empty again, leaving behind only the masked Lingyun and Protector Xi.
"Protector Xi, is there anything on the matter I asked you to investigate?" Ling Yun asked.
Protector Xi forced a smile as he shook his head helplessly, "Tower Lord, I only found out about Ling Xiao City and a few nearby cities. I have been missing for the past seven years, but I still haven't found out how."
Lingyun frowned, his eyes revealing a trace of killing intent: "How much?"
"About, about …" Protector Xi was a bit hesitant, and couldn't explain it clearly for a long time.
"Hmm?" Ling Yun looked at him coldly.
Protector Xi shivered and gathered up his courage. "About two hundred."
"Two hundred, hur hur!" Ling Yun's voice slowly became cold and indifferent, with a hint of anger. "So many women have gone missing, why hasn't anyone reported it? Were the city lords just going to have nothing to do? Why didn't the capital receive the news? "
"OP, according to this subordinate's investigation, someone reported the case at the beginning, but died without reason not long after.
However, all of this was suppressed by a single hand, which should have shaken the entire Soaring Cloud Empire, so that no one in the capital could know about it. " Protector Xi trembled and quickly told her everything that he had found out.
"They did indeed silently suppress the matter without alerting the capital." Ling Yun laughed coldly, and his body gradually released a dense killing intent.
"OP, they are?" Protector Xi asked carefully.
"Your curiosity is too great." Ling Yun calmly glanced at him, and his gaze became sharp. Protector Xi's body trembled, and as if he had fallen into an icehouse, he hurriedly said: "This subordinate knows his crimes."
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to do anything to them." Ling Yun said lightly.
Protector Xi was silent.
Ling Yun did not mind, and continued to speak: "Send the order down, get the brothers to pay attention to the movements of the nearby cities, do not alert them, report everything to me first, then make a decision."
"Yes sir!" Protector Xi nodded.
"Have you gathered any information on the bandits around here?" Ling Yun asked again.
"OP, there are a total of eleven groups of robbers in the surrounding area. Every time we send out an army to encircle them, they would get the news in advance and avoid us. After the army leaves, they would come out again to stir up trouble and kill and loot.
This subordinate suspects that there is a spy within the imperial court. " Protector Xi said.
"It's not that they have spies in the imperial court. What I'm afraid of is that those robbers have been subdued and made to amass wealth for them.
There were some shady matters that could be used by these robbers, so no one could suspect them.
Moreover, even if we suspect them, what can we do without conclusive evidence? " Ling Yun sighed quietly.
"What!" Protector Xi was shocked by Ling Yun's conjecture, how could this be possible?
"The imperial court is very dark," Ling Yun said flatly. "Not just the imperial court, this world is the same." He said: "Give me the information about the robbers!"
Protector Xi respectfully handed over a jade slip.
Not only could jade transmit information, it could also store information and inscribe spirit tattoos. It was a necessity for many great forces.
For example, some cultivation techniques and martial skills had their true copies stored well, and the ones they took out were all recorded on jade slips.
Ling Yun received the jade slip, and a warm feeling entered his hands: "You can leave! Do not tell anyone about what happened today, okay? "
"This subordinate understands. This subordinate will take his leave!" Protector Xi slowly left the main hall and quickly left Cloud Mist Tower. He went out to make some arrangements.
In the main hall, Ling Yun's expression under the mask was unsettled. He tightly clenched his fists, and a low voice came out from his mouth, "Wen Shang, I will definitely kill you!"
With a light slap on the handle, complicated spirit patterns appeared around the chair and his seat, forming a pattern on the ground.
At the same time, the surrounding space seemed to have been created from thin air, and one spiritual imprint after another started to bloom with dazzling white light. Invisible lines appeared one after another, connecting all the spiritual imprints into one.
BOOM!
The Spiritual Seal formed a Spiritual Array, resonating with the pattern on the ground. A teleportation power suddenly appeared and worked on Lingyun's body.
In the next moment, a blinding white light flashed, and Ling Yun's figure disappeared from the great hall.
And ten kilometers away, in a secret room in the Battle King's Mansion's Lingyun's courtyard, a spirit pattern pattern and a spirit formation appeared in the air. A tall figure appeared out of thin air.
It was Ling Yun.
In his hand was a jade slip with runes engraved on it. At this moment, a white light was emitted from the jade slip to envelop him.
Taking off his mask, Ling Yun's face was slightly pale. Although the distance from the Transfer Spiritual Array was small, it was still a spatial transfer. How could a warrior like him withstand it?
This was because he was very close and had the talisman that Liu Xian had refined for him to resist the pressure of space. He had already been crushed into meat paste by the pressure of space.
As the light in his hand faded, he looked like an extremely ordinary jade talisman. His eyes flickered slightly.
"It seems like Liu Xian really isn't a Rank 4 alchemist. A jade talisman that can resist the pressure of teleportation isn't something a Rank 4 alchemist can refine. Even an ordinary Rank 5 alchemist would find it difficult to refine."
Letting out a sigh, Lingyun opened the door and walked out. All he needed to do was to know that Liu Xian had no ill intentions towards him. He did not want to think about anything else for now.
However, he had a feeling that Liu Xian had come to the Battle King's Mansion because of his mysterious mother.
He found that the more he learned, the more mysterious and hazy his mother became.
In Lingyun's bedroom, a layer of light screen suddenly appeared on the wall, and the wall became distorted. Then, Lingyun's figure walked out from inside.
"Has anyone entered my room?" The moment he appeared, Ling Yun frowned, "It should be Cai'Er that came to find me!"
Opening the door, he stuck his head out and immediately saw four figures in the yard, one of which was Yan Lu.
Qin Yinyue was instructing him something anxiously. From the looks of it, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. What was going on?
Ling'er searched the entire Ling Xiao City, but was unable to find Ling Yun. Feeling flustered, he returned to the Battle King's Mansion.
After telling the two of them about Ling Yun's disappearance, the beautiful faces of the two young girls immediately paled, and they almost fainted on the spot.
Summon Yan Lu, and tell him to gather his men to look for Ling Yun.
