Shi Rong stood in front of the City Lord's Mansion with a strange expression.
His gaze passed over the female cultivator and looked at Xia Yiran and He Nian. After looking at the two of them for a few seconds, he turned his head and scanned the entire street from the beginning to the end with his eyes.
"Gu Xiaohe, let's go inside and talk."
"During this extraordinary period, the City Lord's Mansion is an important area and no one is allowed to pass through without permission." Gu Xiaohe said seriously.
Shi Rong was stunned and could only wave his hand and let Gu Xiaohe come behind the stone lions in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
But Gu Xiaohe still didn't move.
When the two players saw that Shi Rong was one of them, they also walked out from behind Gu Xiaohe.
Shi Rong walked a few steps, turned back, and found that Gu Xiaohe had no intention of leaving. He walked back slightly embarrassed. In a voice that the three of them could barely hear, he briefly recounted the order to track down Taoyuan.
"Yes, yes, yes! We are also here to trace Taoyuan!" Xia Yiran agreed immediately after hearing it.
And this hearty sound made Shi Rong's previous low voice go to waste.
After listening to this, Gu Xiaohe raised her doubts: "I know about the Taoyuan organization. Although it is mysterious, it seems that it will not easily offend major forces. Do they... have the courage to infiltrate our Cangxia Sect?"
Han Zhui's intelligence agency is affiliated with the Cangxia Sect, and the members of the intelligence agency are also considered part of the Cangxia Sect.
Although more than half of them could not even enter the mountain gate of Cangxia Sect, they still had a certain sense of belonging to Cangxia Sect.
After all, Han Zhui's personal sincerity and the "sincerity" he showed on behalf of the Cangxia Sect are enough to impress any casual cultivator.
"I won't offend them. I can only say that they are hiding too well. Otherwise, their intelligence on the major forces can't be conjured out of thin air, right?"
Gu Xiaohe looked at the two players unconsciously, a little worried that these two clumsy little cultivators might alert the enemy.
However, on second thought, since the higher-ups dared to let the younger disciples of the Cangxia Sect come to investigate, then they must have their reasons.
Don't worry too much about yourself.
Shi Rong asked the three people again if they had discovered anything.
Gu Xiaohe said that after Han Zhui left, the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded and no mortal dared to approach.
The two players also told the two NPCs their thoughts.
After learning about their thoughts, Shi Rong and Gu Xiaohe were a little surprised that they could think of this.
"Besides the City Lord's Mansion, what about other important places in the city?"
"They all have the same configuration. Not to mention mortals, even ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to sneak in." Gu Xiaohe said, "Unless you're a Nascent Soul cultivator who's good at hiding your true self."
Nascent Soul Overhaul?
Shi Rong's expression suddenly became serious.
"What did you think of?"
"Senior Han speculated that the spies from Taoyuan might not be the secretive cultivators we thought, but mortals... Then, is there a possibility that they are not even mortals, but... Nascent Soul cultivators who are extremely skilled at hiding their identities, or even great cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Impossible!" Gu Xiaohe retorted, "If this old freak sneaked in, wouldn't Senior Han, Sect Master Lu, and the others notice? Besides, there are other seniors here..."
Shi Rong's words also inspired He Nian.
After thinking about a few clues in his mind, He Nian also thought of a blind spot in his thinking.
"Not necessarily... Today is the opening ceremony of the new Bei'an City. The clan is undergoing a major renovation. I'm either in retreat in the mountains or presiding over the ceremony in the new city. It's too late to deal with those... well, guests who have come from so far away!"
“So, they may not be able to detect the major renovation hidden in the old city!!”
"Furthermore, if they knew everything, your Commander Han, Elder Cheng, Fairy Chengying and the others wouldn't be so concerned about this spy!"
Xia Yiran looked at He Nian in surprise again.
He Nian seems to be very smart!!
With such intelligence, it would be such a waste if he just stayed in the city dealing with mortals instead of going to the strange world to solve puzzles! !
I have to think of a way to lure her into the weird world next time!!
After the strange world was opened, several waves of players formed teams to go in and explore.
However, it didn't go very smoothly.
A group of people passed through a high wall and came directly to a muddy swamp. In some places, once you stepped on them, you could not get out and could only wait to sink and die.
Xia Yiran's group encountered a stone building composed of two pyramids with their tops facing each other. The stone on the outside of the building was extremely solid, but the interior was like a maze.
In addition, there are extremely difficult puzzles.
A group of people spent a long time looking up information both online and offline before they solved the first puzzle related to the movement of stars.
Because the astrological signs in the two worlds differ, players are forced to cram in real-life knowledge and apply it to the game. If it weren't for the astrological murals from this world in front of the door, cracking it would be nearly impossible!
The difficulty reminds players of the fear of solving the final question on a math test after learning the Pythagorean theorem during their school days.
Shi Rong and Gu Xiaohe also frowned after listening to He Nian's analysis.
If that's the case, then we're in big trouble.
The matter is beyond their capabilities and cannot be resolved by them alone. Someone at Commander Han's level must take action personally.
However, all this is just speculation.
They must continue investigating.
Gu Xiaohe suddenly took out a jade token and checked the information on it.
Shi Rong was very professional and didn't ask.
But Xia Yiran couldn't help but ask what the news was.
