Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

She looked at Lu Yuan and thought to herself: This man is becoming more and more interesting to her.

After a good rest, everyone continued to move forward. After a long journey, they finally walked out of the grassland and came to a small town.

The town was very lively, with people coming and going, and various stalls lined the streets. Everyone found an inn and planned to rest for the night.

After entering the inn, Lu Yuan asked for several rooms and then asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest. After Ye Ling'er returned to her room, she sat on the bed and fell into deep thought. She thought of the days in the castle, her life experience and her mission. She knew that she couldn't go on like this and had to find that thing as soon as possible to complete her mission.

At this time, Lu Yuan was also thinking about Ye Ling'er in his room. He felt that Ye Ling'er's appearance was too coincidental, and her behavior was also very suspicious.

He decided to secretly investigate Ye Ling'er's background to find out who she really was.

The next morning, everyone gathered in the lobby of the inn. After breakfast, they prepared to continue their journey.

"Where are we going next?" Mo Chen asked.

Lu Yuan looked at the map and said, "Let's go to the city ahead first to see if we can get some information about the Nether Palace."

Everyone nodded, then left the inn and headed towards the city. Along the way, Ye Ling'er was still talking and laughing with Mo Chen, while Lu Yuan walked silently behind, thinking about his own things.

When they walked to the city gate, they suddenly saw a group of people gathered at the gate, and they didn't know what they were looking at.

"Let's go and see what happened." Ye Qianmo said.

When they walked forward, they saw a notice on the city wall, which read: Recently, a mysterious woman appeared in the city. Her whereabouts are mysterious and she is suspected to be related to a cult organization. If anyone finds her whereabouts, report it to the government immediately and there will be a big reward.

When Ye Ling'er saw the notice, her expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"The mysterious woman mentioned here isn't you, is she?"

Lu Yuan looked at Ye Ling'er and teased her deliberately.

Ye Linger glared at him and said, "Brother Lu Yuan, stop joking. How could I be a member of a cult?"

Lu Yuan smiled but said nothing. In his heart, he was thinking that Ye Ling'er was becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

Ye Ling'er was very shocked by this notice. This was definitely not a coincidence. She had never heard of any mysterious woman before. Moreover, it was written on it that if she was caught, there would be a huge reward.

She thought, is someone following me? She lowered her head, pretending nothing happened, and quietly observed the reactions of the people around her. Sure enough, a few people were sneaking glances at her.

Then they entered the city, and the sneaky people followed them and surrounded her.

Everyone suddenly became nervous. Mo Chen stood in front of Ye Ling'er and looked around vigilantly.

Ye Ling'er raised her head and said calmly: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Hand over the things!" said one of the tall men in black.

Ye Ling'er was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you want?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hand it over obediently, otherwise you will be killed without a burial place today." Another short and thin man said fiercely.

"Who sent you here? What do you want to steal?" Ye Ling'er asked.

The short and thin man sneered a few times and said, "It's none of your business. Hurry up and take out the things!"

"I said I don't know anything at all. Who sent you here?" Ye Ling'er said angrily, her tone already filled with murderous intent.

The short and thin man snorted coldly and said, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink a penalty. Brothers, take action!" Then, five tall men in black rushed towards Ye Ling'er. Mo Chen quickly drew his sword and rushed forward. The remaining two men rushed towards the others.

While Mo Chen was resisting, he said to Ye Ling'er: "Ling'er, step back and wait for me to deal with them."

Ye Ling'er nodded and quickly retreated. Although Mo Chen's martial arts skills were relatively strong, the other party was outnumbered, and there were five masters, so he couldn't get away for a while.

At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly joined the fight and knocked the two men to the ground in no time. The rest of the people were stunned. How could this Lu Yuan be so powerful? This was simply beyond common sense.

Lu Yuan looked at them and said coldly: "Since you refuse to tell the truth, we have no choice but to force a confession ourselves." After saying that, he raised his sword and stabbed at the two men.

Lu Yuan's swordsmanship was fierce and domineering, and every attack went straight to the fatal point, making it impossible for the enemy to defend. In just a few moments, the two men lost their lives.

The last two people were so frightened that they turned around and ran without any hesitation.

"Stop! If you don't tell me, I will kill all of you!" Mo Chen said coldly.

The two who had been running away stopped and fell to their knees.

"Please let us go, we really don't know anything." The two men cried and begged.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Mo Chen shouted.

"We really don't know. We only know that there was an order from above saying that someone had stolen the treasures of the Nether Palace."

"Stealing treasures, what on earth is going on?"

"We don't know the details, we only know that the news has spread throughout Youzhou City in a short period of time. We also rushed to the city gate to intercept you after receiving the news."

After hearing what they said, everyone suddenly realized that this news was spread by someone with ulterior motives in order to cause panic and create chaos.

"Since you know nothing, then go die." Mo Chen said.

The two men were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they tumbled and crawled away. Mo Chen chased them for a few steps, then stopped and turned back.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan and others did not chase after them.

At this time, another patrol team of soldiers came on horseback. Everyone hid aside and dared not get close.

When the patrol soldiers arrived at the city gate, they pulled the reins of their horses and jumped off their horses. They looked around and found nothing unusual.

"Let's go. I guess those villains have already left."

Lu Yuan and others breathed a sigh of relief and then entered the city.

……

At this time, Ye Ling'er and his group came to the inn.

"Sir, you are finally back." said a waiter.

Ye Ling'er nodded and said, "Well, let's go upstairs first." Then she walked towards the stairs.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, they saw several men hurriedly running out from the stairs. They were wearing white robes with a red cloud embroidered on their chests.

Ye Ling'er frowned, feeling strange. She felt that these people were not ordinary people. She looked at them carefully and found that there were several old acquaintances among them. (End of this chapter)
