Chapter 259: Is there a traitor in the strange City Lord’s Mansion?



There was no hesitation in Yang, as hesitation would lead to defeat.

This is the best time to take advantage of the opportunity.

"Hello! Let's go in!"

Yang Qi was at the front, and the others followed closely behind.

Without the interference of these guards, Yang and his companions quickly arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Yang pushed the door open.

However, the door did not respond.

Locked?!

Yang frowned.

What the hell is this? It's locked.

However, they had to finish this quickly and then enter. Otherwise, once the guards outside reacted and noticed them, they would be in trouble and all their efforts would be wasted.

The only option was to break in, but that would certainly attract attention.

"Locked? Let me try."

At this moment, Yang Tao stood up silently and spoke.

Yang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

"You?"

"Well, let's try it out."

Yang stepped aside and made room.

"Thanks."

Yang Taoqian came forward and arrived at the door.

Then he took out a small silver pointer from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole of the door, and began to tinker with it.

"oh?"

Yang was surprised.

Lock picking, is this a thief's profession?

I didn't expect it would come in handy at this time.

Yang looked at him. Now only he could open the door.

He and everyone else held their breath, standing quietly aside, waiting for Yang Tao to unlock the door.

At this time, Yang Tao was already sweating profusely.

After a while, finally, a clicking sound came from the lock core.

"Open?"

Yang Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“It’s open!”

"Well done, Third Brother!"

Xu Changfeng praised.

Yang also nodded.

"Well, thanks to you, you have been of great help and helped us solve a lot of problems."

Yang Tao chuckled.

"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning, haha!"

Without stopping, Yang Qi walked forward and pushed the door open.

“Click…”

The door opened immediately.

What caught their eyes was a huge courtyard.

Without thinking too much, after a few people entered, Yang quickly closed the door.

Avoid people behind you from noticing and catching up.

After doing this, Yang began to observe the surrounding environment.

Here, there are picturesque mountains and clear waters, green gardens, and it is simply a man-made paradise.

Fortunately, there was no one here at this time, so they were not discovered.

"Is the artifact really here?"

Everyone had this thought in their mind.

"Never mind, let's just keep going forward and search around here."

Now that we have started patrolling the mansion, for the sake of safety, we should move together.

The entire City Lord's Mansion is very spacious.

They were all here for the first time, so they could only cross the bridge by feeling their way.

While observing whether there are any suspicious places or traces of the artifact, he was also careful about who might appear in the City Lord's Mansion.

Just as Yang was leading the three of them to explore the City Lord's Mansion, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the path ahead of them.

Yang quickly took the three of them and hid behind the bushes nearby.

Several people held their breath, waiting for the person in front to come.

After a while, two figures appeared.

Yang and the others didn't dare to breathe.

In this way, they hid and eavesdropped on each other's conversation.

"Damn it! These heretics are endless, especially these aliens. They're like crazy, and there's no way they'll all be killed!"

"Alas, is this really all fate? Has our mission to protect our clan come to an end?"

"We can only take things one step at a time. I heard that things aren't peaceful in the city anymore. Many people are taking advantage of the situation to riot. Even the dungeons have been looted. Many heavily incarcerated prisoners have escaped, causing chaos throughout the city. It's becoming unmanageable."

"Alas, perhaps we should find a way to prepare for our afterlife. Those heretics are all after the artifact. Needless to say, we should find a way to transfer it. We must not let the artifact fall into their hands."

“…”

The two of them were chatting and having a heated discussion.

Obviously, these two are the ones who protect the clan.

Yang and the others were hiding nearby and heard the other party discussing something about the divine weapon, so they pricked up their ears immediately.

Unfortunately, as the two walked further and further away, the sound became smaller and smaller, and they could only hear it vaguely.

Later, the figures of the two people disappeared from their sight after turning a corner.

Zhuoyang and others looked at each other, and just as Zhuoyang was thinking about whether to chase after him.

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the direction where the two men had gone.

This was followed by the sound of fierce fighting.

An idea came into Yang's mind. He exchanged glances with the other three people, then without hesitation, he carefully moved over.

Soon, they came to the source of the fighting.

However, here they only saw a man lying in a pool of blood.

Yang recognized this person at a glance as one of the two people who came before.

As for the other person, he has disappeared.

Obviously, they discovered something extraordinary.

This was obviously an internal conflict between the two, or perhaps there was some disagreement in their words that led to them fighting.

Yang Qi walked forward and squatted in front of the man lying in a pool of blood. There was still some body temperature left on his body.

But it was obvious that there was no hope for him. He was killed instantly, and his move was extremely cruel.

Yang suspected that this was even a long-planned plan.

It seems that the internal situation of this guardian clan is not that chaotic.

Yang thought to himself.

"What should we do now? Should we continue chasing?" Zhang Sheng asked, seeking advice.

"I think we can take a gamble. Opportunities are rare and may never come again." Xu Changfeng said.

Yang took a look at the bloodstains on the ground and found a direction that the murderer should have escaped from according to the bloodstains.

After thinking for a while, he spoke slowly.

"Chase!"

After Yang said this, the others naturally had no objection and quickly chased in the direction the murderer left.

The other party ran very fast, and they chased him for a long time but couldn't find his shadow.

But as they walked further, although they did not find anyone, a mansion appeared in front of them.

"What...place is this?"

"This looks like a lobby."

"Perhaps the other party has entered here."

Seeing this scene, Xu Changfeng and others analyzed it.

Yang felt really strange.

This City Lord's Mansion is much safer than he had imagined. It's not really safe, but it's mainly because there is less vigilance, so they basically haven't encountered any guards from the guardian clan.

This is quite suspicious, as if something unknown has happened...
