"The City Lord is truly unparalleled in his handsomeness. What does he look like?"
Yun Zheng asked with interest.
This question excited the waiter, and he was about to praise the city lord's appearance, but he suddenly frowned and looked puzzled.
“Huh…”
"Why can't I remember what the city lord looks like?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the three people, and they came to a certain conclusion in their hearts.
The waiter came back to his senses and scratched the back of his head a bit foolishly. He said, "Maybe it's been a while since I last saw the City Lord, so my memory is a little fuzzy. But the impression I have of the City Lord is that he is absolutely handsome and extremely good-looking."
At this time, he turned his gaze to Yun Zheng again and said with a flattering smile: "Sir, you are also very beautiful. Our city lord will definitely like you."
Yun Zheng: “…”
Thank you for your kindness.
After the waiter left, Fu Yingxue activated her mental power to isolate the box from the outside to prevent others from exploring.
Fu Yingxue: "Zhao Shan, Junior Sister Yun, what do you think of this mysterious city lord? I suspect that everyone in Minghua City is controlled by the city lord's mental power. Otherwise, how could the people living here not recognize the city lord's appearance? After all, Minghua City is like a tiny place, pitifully small."
Fu Yingxue's words made sense, and Zhao Shan echoed them, "I just remembered something. The mayor of Minghua City seems to be bald. How could he be so handsome?"
They suspected that the city lord had been replaced or was bewitched by evil spirits.
Yun Zheng was lost in thought, her long, fair fingers bent, tapping the tabletop rhythmically again and again.
Suddenly, Yun Zheng stopped what she was doing and said, "Let's eat something first."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yingxue and Zhao Shan subconsciously lowered their heads to glance at the dishes, feeling inexplicably resistant, because the evil aura now almost lingered over the entire Minghua City.
Could it be that these dishes are also contaminated with evil spirits?
Before they could finish their thoughts, they saw a hand as white as cream pick up the chopsticks, pick up a piece of meat from the plate of roasted pork, and put it into their mouth leisurely.
"Junior sister..." Fu Yingxue looked at her.
Yun Zheng glanced at them and said, "It's not poisonous."
Is Junior Sister testing the poison on herself for them?!
So awesome!
No, I was really touched.
Fu Yingxue watched Yun Zheng change, becoming somewhat passionate and gentle.
Yun Zheng was so shocked by this that she almost got goosebumps. She thought to herself, could it be that Senior Sister Fu has been possessed by an evil spirit?
Yun Zheng didn’t eat much at this meal.
Fu Yingxue and Zhao Shan ate even less.
When they returned, they casually asked about the customs and culture of the local people in Minghua City, and then secretly changed the subject and tentatively asked what the city lord looked like.
Sure enough, their answers were the same.
They were all extremely handsome, but their memories of the city lord seemed to be deliberately blurred.
When no one was around, Yun Zheng opened her blood pupils and discovered that Minghua City was surrounded by a faint black aura. Black mist was emanating from the foreheads of everyone in Minghua City, and those wandering cultivators who had been to Beiqi Mountain were all surrounded by black mist.
The situation is not optimistic!
Yun Zheng had asked those wandering cultivators about the situation in Beiqi Mountain, but they seemed to have no recollection of what they had done in Beiqi Mountain.
What exactly does the person behind the scenes want to do?
After Yun Zheng and the other two returned to Mingfu Inn, they met Li Jiaojiao, Yu Min, and Jiang Feng. Fu Yingxue told them the information they had discovered or guessed.
"Can't send a message?" Li Jiaojiao was shocked. She quickly took out her identity token to verify, but the message fell on deaf ears.
The sorrow of several people deepened.
Zhao Shan said anxiously, "I thought it was just an ordinary mission, but I didn't expect to fail here. If we don't find a way out quickly, I'm afraid our memories will become blurred."
"Why don't we leave the city now?" Li Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. Fearing they would misunderstand her as retreating, she quickly added, "Let's leave the city first and send a message back to the Holy Academy, waiting for support from the elders. It won't be too late for us to come back later."
"I can't get out." Yun Zheng said lightly.
Jiang Feng rarely asked, "Why?"
Yun Zheng replied, "Because this small town has become like a maze, just like the formation we encountered before. We can't find the exit and can only wander around in circles."
The others' expressions changed.
Li Jiaojiao was about to question the truthfulness of her words, but Yun Zheng glanced at her indifferently, and fear spread in her heart.
"This is the result of my recent investigation. If you don't believe me, you can go out and look for the gate out of the city." Yun Zheng said.
Li Jiaojiao choked.
The expressions of the others became increasingly solemn. The unknown danger was like a huge rock pressing on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.
After a long moment, Yu Min stared at Yun Zheng with a burning gaze, his voice trembling slightly. "Didn't you break that formation before? Are you sure you can do it this time?"
Yun Zheng had a blank expression on her face: "This time it's much more difficult than going up there. So far, I haven't found the center of the formation yet."
The formation of Minghua City is obviously similar to the formation in the edge of the forest. The key is that the formation of Minghua City is more profound, and it is also mixed with some evil aura and black air.
Difficult to understand!
It was the first time that Yun Zheng encountered such a challenging formation, and for a moment, she felt a little excited.
Fu Yingxue was a little tired and waved her hand. "It's late now. You should go back and rest. We'll go out and check the situation tomorrow."
They returned to their respective rooms.
