The ancestor and the city lord didn't tell us explicitly, but we guessed it might be a secret treasure or an opening token for the cave of a powerful being.
After Xie Fan finished speaking, he carefully observed the Supreme Being's reaction.
Liu Xiaopeng's expression kept changing.
Hearing about a treasure trove would definitely be exciting; it might even be the legacy of a great emperor.
It's a bit of a shame to hear that someone else got the token.
What's even more hateful is that Ren Tianya and Xie Zhenyang actually grew stronger under the protection of the Fengqing Sect, and they didn't even report any good things they had.
They hid it away, and then lost it in the end. They really deserve to die.
Even if they survive, Liu Xiaopeng will not let them off the hook once he finds out about this.
He then focused his gaze on Xie Fan and his son Xie Hong, his eyes becoming deep and imposing.
"Tell me everything you know. If it works for me, your position as city lord is secured. Otherwise, you know what will happen."
Xie Fan shrank back, cold sweat pouring down his face, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Yes, I will tell you everything I know."
"According to my intelligence, Shen Mengying did not bring any powerful experts with her when she came to Yunxi City, so she probably did not send anyone to kill City Lord Ren."
"oh."
“She made some friends in the city, and I think it’s possible that those people were the ones who did it.”
"Which faction are you from? What's your name?"
"I don't know what specific forces they belong to, but they have an extraordinary air about them. There are four of them, and the leader is called Qin Feng."
"Oh, what are their cultivation levels?"
Speaking of this, Xie Fan forced himself to say, "It seems to be the late stage of the Golden Core realm."
As expected, Liu Xiaopeng flew into a rage and started cursing at Xie Fan.
"Do you think I'm stupid? A late-stage Golden Core cultivator was able to kill Ren Tianya, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Do you think I'm easy to talk to and are trying to fool me?"
Xie Fan hurriedly explained:
"Your Excellency, please listen to my analysis. Shen Mengying was chased by the people of Tianlian Mountain before, and she was in a very bad situation. If there were really any experts, they would have stepped forward long ago."
I suspect that Lord Ren must have discovered this, which is why he became greedy and wanted to take back the token. I just don't know what unexpected thing happened afterward.
Shen Mengying only had a few close friends in Yunxi City, and they were also suspects.
That's all I know, Your Excellency. I've told you everything, and I hope Your Excellency will be kind to me.
Liu Xiaopeng narrowed his eyes, his face showing deep thought.
He muttered to himself, "Lingyan Pavilion, Shen Mengying, Qin Feng?"
Then he said to Xie Fan, "You will be the city lord for now."
Liu Xiaopeng took the storage ring from Xie Fan and left in a hurry.
