Chapter 261: The Murderer Behind the Scenes

"So this dead city, um, no, it's the flower city. Does this flower city have any secrets?" Lin Yulu asked indifferently, tilting his head.

Han Beiming remained silent.

He didn't believe that this person didn't know about the prosperous city. She must have set a trap on purpose to lure them into it. This person was too cunning.

“Before I came, someone told me that I couldn’t come. They said that the people of Tiangang Sect would not allow anyone to go to this dead city. Once you enter this dead city, you will be hunted down by the Tiangang Sect.

He also said that this dead city has no exit but one can enter. Now that I see you here, I think there must be some unspeakable secret here. "Lin Yulu didn't mind their silence and continued.

"Since you know, why did you come? How dare you say that you didn't come for that thing?" Han Beiming sneered.

In the past few decades, everyone who has come to the prosperous city has come for the spiritual treasure, and this person is no exception.

Lin Yulu chuckled and said calmly: "Are you trapped here and can't leave, or are you hiding here and don't want to leave?"

Their expressions told her that there was a huge conspiracy behind this, a conspiracy against Fanhua City.

"If you want to stay alive, you'd better not ask." Zhuo Qingyang said coldly, "If I were you, I would leave immediately."

Li Yun'an seemed to be hesitant to speak, not knowing what he wanted to say, and ultimately did not open his mouth.

Lin Yulu raised his eyebrows and looked at them, "If I leave, won't you stop me?"

After all, she discovered their secret, so it might not be easy for her to leave.

As expected, as soon as she said this, the expressions of several people looking at her changed, but they soon returned to calm. So there must be something she doesn't know. Otherwise, how can it be said that there is only gain but no gain? These people are quite cunning.

"Maybe you can tell me the secret of this city, and maybe I can help you." Lin Yulu lowered his voice, full of temptation.

Qi Ning snorted coldly, "I would like to advise you, this is not something you can participate in."

"But I'm already involved." Lin Yulu said thoughtfully, "If he hadn't brought me in, I would have become a pile of bones. As a reward, I must help. I will never do anything ungrateful, so I can help you."

"You really came here for that thing." Ji Han's face turned cold.

Lin Yulu's mouth twitched. This man must be a fool. He seemed not to understand what people were saying.

"If you don't cherish such a good opportunity, you will never have another chance in the future. Are you sure you don't need my help?" Lin Yulu leaned against the door, looking at them with a smile.

Han Beiming said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, we don't need it."

"Are you afraid that I will attack you for what you have in your hands, or do you not want to implicate me?" Lin Yulu raised his eyebrows.

Han Beiming remained silent because he had both of these.

He couldn't see through this person, but he could feel that she had no ill intentions.

He didn't want to involve her either, because it would all be meaningless.

"I've come this far. Even if you don't say anything, I've been dragged into this." Lin Yulu propped up his chin and said seriously, "My cultivation seems a little weak, but in terms of combat power, all of you combined may not be my opponent. How about giving it a try?"

"Are you sure?" Han Beiming's face darkened slightly.

She was right, now that they were here, they couldn't let her leave easily because they couldn't afford the consequences of doing so.

And one more friend is always better than one more enemy.

"Of course." Lin Yulu nodded.

Han Beiming said: "Then I'm sorry."

A quarter of an hour later, Han Beiming stopped and was shocked.

"I'm no match for you." Han Beiming looked at her and said.

He was deeply shocked. This person's cultivation was only at the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul, but he could easily suppress him who was at the peak of Incarnation. He must have hidden his cultivation and his strength should not be underestimated.

Would it be better if she helped?

"Han Beiming, a disciple of Fanhua City."

"Ji Han, a disciple of Fanhua City."

"Li Yun'an, a disciple of Fanhua City."

"Zhu Qingyang, a disciple of Fanhua City."

"Qi Ning, a disciple of Fanhua City."

"Lin Yulu from Kunlun Mountain." Lin Yulu said with a smile, "How about we sit down and talk?"

"Now can you tell me what's going on in this city?" She was very curious.

Han Beiming let out a long sigh. This was a long story.

A hundred years ago, Fanhua City was one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the world of cultivation. It was also a force second only to the four major sects. It was unknown how many high-level cultivators it attracted.

But because of that thing, everything changed.

One hundred years ago, Situ Xiangyin, the Lord of Fanhua City, found a jade bead in an ancient ruin. Anyone who wears this jade bead can increase their cultivation.

There are even rumors that this jade bead is an innate spiritual treasure, and it was because of this jade bead that Situ Xiangyin was able to break through his cultivation that had been constrained for a long time.

As we all know, the levels of weapons in the world of cultivation are divided into magic weapons, spiritual weapons, magic treasures, and spiritual treasures. Above that are the legendary immortal weapons and divine weapons.

In the world of cultivation, let alone immortal weapons and divine weapons, even spiritual treasures are extremely rare. Spiritual treasures are also treasures born from heaven and earth. They are extremely powerful and who wouldn’t be envious?

As soon as the news that Situ Xiangyin possessed an innate spiritual treasure spread, cultivators flocked to Fanhua City in an endless stream. They all wanted to see the innate spiritual treasure in Situ Xiangyin's hand.

Faced with the power of Fanhua City, even though they were jealous, they did not dare to take action.

After all, Fanhua City is one of the top forces with a great Mahayana master in charge, not to mention that Tiangang Sect and Fanhua City are on good terms, so no one dares to covet the jade pendant in Situ Xiangyin's hand.

When Lin Yulu heard this, he already had some guesses in his mind.

As expected, the murderer behind the scenes was the Tiangang Sect.

Situ Xiangyin and Tiangang Sect leader Yun Jinzhi are good friends. They have been friends for hundreds of years. Situ Xiangyin rarely refuses requests from his old friend, and this time is no exception.

After Yun Jinzhi confirmed that the jade pendant in Situ Xiangyin's hand was an innate spiritual treasure, greed arose in his heart.

Yun Jinzhi had been planning for decades, and finally stretched out his greedy hand that night.

That night, he brought the ancestors of the Tiangang Sect to massacre the City Lord's Mansion.

If it weren't for the fact that he had Situ Xiangyin's close acquaintance and had not poisoned the City Lord's Mansion in advance, the City Lord's Mansion would not have been wiped out so quickly.

Ultimately, it was all Situ Xiangyin's fault for trusting him too much and not being on guard against him, which led to such a tragedy.

Ever since the news that Fanhua City held the innate spiritual treasure spread, the ancestor of Fanhua City had anticipated this day and made preparations in advance. However, he never expected that this person would be Yun Jinzhi, the city lord's good friend.

That night, the City Lord's Mansion was flooded with blood and there were constant shouts and cries of killing.

When they woke up, they were hidden in an underground palace, and there was no one alive in the entire City Lord's Mansion.

Several brothers went out to gather information and never came back.

They knew that those senior brothers were in great danger.

At this point, they have been here for decades. They have no idea what is happening outside, but they know that the outside is becoming more and more desolate, and over time it has become what it is now.
