Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly. He had a different opinion on this. He told Sun Lingtong: "I hope that this third wave of rumors was not spread by us."

Sun Lingtong suddenly felt curious: "Xiaozhuo, is there any other force that you can use?"

Ning Zhuo smiled and said, "Boss, I do have my own secrets, but how can I hide my power from you?"

This immediately made Sun Lingtong even more puzzled, and she couldn't help but ask: "If that's the case, then who else can help us spread rumors?"

Ning Zhuo shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. I'm not 100% sure about this."

"But I still think that we should wait until the third level rumors are about to spread."

"Are you sure?" Sun Lingtong felt worried.

When it comes to spreading rumors, he is very experienced and professional.

He had accurately predicted the future situation: "If we continue to spread the third wave of rumors at a normal speed, by then, there will not be enough time and space."

"In this case, should we continue to wait for another wave and see the situation before spreading the third level of rumors?"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "I think this adventure is worth it."

"The first two rumors we spread were actually fine, but the third wave of rumors, once spread by us ourselves, is likely to become a loophole."

"At this point, Boss, I want to take a gamble!"

Sun Lingtong raised his head and laughed, patting Ning Zhuo on the shoulder: "Okay, Xiaozhuo, you understand the rules of the game of the righteous way much better than I do."

"I'll take a gamble with you."

A little girl with red cheeks as red as an apple suddenly stretched her head over, occupying Sun Lingtong's field of vision and interrupting his memories.

"Grandpa, what are you doing lying here? Do you need me to help you up?" the little girl asked in a baby voice.

Sun Lingtong quickly sighed, thanked the little girl, and said that she needed help.

The little girl used all her strength to help Sun Lingtong up.

Sun Lingtong sent a message to her: "I didn't expect you to get rid of Zhu Xuanji so quickly!"

The little girl was not someone else but Yang Chanyu in disguise.

Yang Chanyu smiled lightly and replied to Sun Lingtong with a voice transmission: "If we were in the wilderness, Zhu Xuanji's golden eyes would indeed be quite formidable."

"But the terrain of Huoshi Xiancheng is complex. It is not an open area at all. In addition, there are gaps in the formation you provided. With such a favorable terrain, how could I let Zhu Xuanji catch up with me?"

Zhu Xuanji returned empty-handed.

Facing Ning Jiufan and the other four Jindan cultivators who rushed over, he said bluntly: "I lost her, but I am sure that it was Yang Chanyu."

The other five Jindan cultivators fell into silence for a moment.

Ning Jiufan sighed, "We can't catch up with Yang Chanyu, and our trap here has been exposed. Next, do we still have to watch over Ning Zhuo?"

Zhu Xuanji nodded. On the way back, he had already thought of the follow-up arrangements.

He said, "At present, we have no way to determine Yang Chanyu's purpose. She may covet the Demon Sect's true scriptures herself, or she may be hired by the City Lord's Mansion."

At this point, Zhu Xuanji looked very self-blaming and regretful: "If only I could take down Yang Chanyu."

"We still don't have any evidence right now."

Even if Zhu Xuanji took action personally, Yang Chanyu would be able to escape.

Such a result made the five Jindan cultivators very disappointed and worried.

Zhu Xuanji noticed their expressions, sighed, and continued to explain: "Yang Chanyu took advantage of the terrain and followed the gap between the immortal city formations to get in and escape successfully."

Ning surrendered: "This is not Lord Zhu's fault. No matter who it is, it would be difficult to catch Yang Chanyu in this situation."

Zhou Nongying snorted coldly: "The current situation is actually very clear. The City Lord's Mansion must have hired Yang Chanyu to test this place! And in order to ensure the safety of themselves and Yang Chanyu, they provided a gap in the formation."

Zhu Xuanji shook his head upon hearing this: "We can't confirm this yet because we don't have any evidence."

Zheng Danjian sighed: "To be honest, this is still the result of the City Lord's Mansion's inaction!"

"According to common sense, the city defense formation in the immortal city should be changed every once in a while. This is the only way to be safe."

"But the recent mayors have not done this. I guess they think it's too troublesome and thankless."

Zhu Ji Xuan Fan's lips moved slightly, he thought about it but didn't say anything.

He still knows some inside information about this matter.

This was deliberately allowed by the Nandou royal family.

After all, Huoshixiancheng is located in the hinterland of Nandou Kingdom and is relatively safe. If we really want to change the city defense formation, it will be a waste of money and manpower.

As a new city, Huoshixian City has its own specialties and can provide a large amount of tax revenue to the royal family every year.

If the city defense formation is changed, the royal family's income will drop sharply! Zhou Nongying suddenly said: "The current situation has evolved to this point, which is very unfavorable for us. Our situation is too passive."

"Now our manpower is all tied up by Ning Zhuo."

"Even if an assassin comes to assassinate us, as long as we can't catch him, we won't be able to tell whether this is the work of the City Lord's Mansion or the assassin's personal greed."

"Every once in a while, as long as he sends or directly hires Yang Chanyu to test us, he will firmly restrain us. Most of our energy must be focused on protecting Ning Zhuo."

"This will make us more passive."

"So I'm thinking, instead of always being passive and being beaten, why don't we turn passivity into initiative now?"

Zheng Shuanggou asked curiously: "Then how can we take the initiative?"

Zhou Nongying smiled slightly: "This matter is actually very simple. It is much easier than you think."

"Aren't there rumors spreading one after another? I think a large part of them are the work of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Now we can spread rumors and bring down the City Lord's Mansion, isn't that right?"

then.

A third wave of rumors emerged.

The rumor was very convincing and described in detail the events of Ning Zhuo, the Explosive Monkey, Yuan Dasheng, the Fire Persimmon Festival, etc.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Among them, Ning Zhuo was highlighted when he was sixteen years old and asked Chen Cha for advice, but the reputation of research and development was taken away by the City Lord's Mansion. He was also tricked into vigorously producing the mechanical fire monkey for the market. Finally, at the Fire Persimmon Festival, he was sent by Fei Si, holding the latter's waist badge, forcing Yuan Er to watch Yuan Dasheng die without rescuing him.

When people hear rumors, they immediately have three thoughts.

First, Ning Zhuo suffered because he was too young and was plotted against. It's a pity.

Second, the City Lord's Mansion may have obtained the Demonic Scriptures long ago, and Fei Si used Ning Zhuo to kill Yuan Dasheng to silence him.

Third, the Demon Sect Scripture is likely to be in the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion is the black market behind the scenes and is the biggest winner!

For a moment, everyone in the city began to discuss: Where is this magic sect scripture? Is it in the hands of the city lord's mansion, or in Ning Zhuo's possession?

The information that Yang Chanyu spied on and said "So that's how it is" before leaving was also widely spread.

City Lord's Mansion.

Fei Si accompanied Shu Zhongjun all the way and sent him out of the mansion.

He returned to his desk alone, his face very gloomy.

The King of the Book is a Jindan cultivator from the Quanshu Building. He has now come to the Huoshi Immortal City. While opening and presiding over the Quanshu Building's station here, he is also actively exploring the Lava Immortal Palace. His pace is not slow at all, and he has quickly accumulated a lot of achievements.

The reason why Shu Zhongjun came to see Feisi this time was to propose a transaction.

If the City Lord's Mansion holds the Demonic Scriptures, then the Quanshulou can buy it for a high price.

Fei Si had no idea about the magic sect's true scriptures, so he told Shu Zhongjun directly that this deal could not be done.

In the end, Fei Si sent the prime minister in the book out of the house.

"Even Shushujun believes that this third rumor is directed at me and the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Who wants to deal with me?!"

Faith felt that the enemy's true intentions were revealed.

He felt something was wrong with the previous two waves of rumors and was secretly paying attention to them every day.

Now the third wave of rumors directly implied that the City Lord's Mansion secretly mastered the Demonic Scripture! Fei Si suddenly felt that the matter was serious, and immediately sent people to investigate the matter with all their strength.

As he was investigating, it was late at night again.

No moon.

Starry sky.

Boom! A thunderous sound disturbed countless citizens who were sleeping soundly in the middle of the night.

People came out of their houses to check.

Some people saw Yang Chanyu fighting with a Jindan cultivator, retreating while fighting.

"Yang Chanyu?!"

"Wait, her opponent is... the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator!!"

In an instant, the monks who saw this scene all widened their eyes.

After many days, the black shadow demon finally appeared again.

The next moment, the black shadow demon cultivator shouted, "Witch, leave the scriptures behind!"

The monks were all shocked physically and mentally.

"True Scripture?"

"What true scripture!?"

"Yang Chanyu escaped from the City Lord's Mansion. Could it be that she stole the Demon Sect's Scripture from the City Lord's Mansion?!"
