Chapter 256 How many people were actually replaced? (2/2)



Tianning told everyone what had happened.

Children are most sensitive to the feelings of those around them. Although Wang Ming’s father was not very powerful and was not valued in the Wang family, he often played with him.

Yunxin felt that her father was always too busy to notice her. Sometimes when they met, he would just ask her with a stern face how her talisman learning was going.

But even that kind of father, after seeing her being bullied by Wang Ming and hiding to cry, silently made her a little white cat out of snow. Even though he was still not good at speaking, Yun Xin still sensed who the other person was... that taciturn guard who always followed her father.

Once, when she was being willful and pestering her father to the point of impatience, her father, exasperated, ordered the guard to deal with her.

Even though she was very young at the time, she still remembers... that person helplessly sculpted many small animals for her out of snow.

At this point, Leng Hong frowned: "I've inquired. On the day of the incident, more than a dozen guards disappeared along with the city lord and Wang Shengan. Most of them were eventually found, but the whereabouts of three remain unknown."

However, the guards were inconspicuous figures, so not many people paid attention to them. Everyone's attention was focused on the city lord and Wang Shengan.

Zhou Han asked, "Tianning, do you think what those two children said is right?"

The city lord was replaced by a guard, and it was done so seamlessly. Even the Face-Changing Pill would have difficulty doing that.

After all, the Face-Changing Pill needs to be taken every so often, during which time it is very likely to be discovered. Moreover, if one wants to replace the city lord for a long time, a sufficient supply of Face-Changing Pills must be prepared.

Such a risk is too great; it's simply unacceptable.

Everyone thought so, but Tianning had been to the Western Continent and had seen the Ghost Doctor's face-changing technique.

The Goddess Lingyue waited a full hundred years to find a face similar to hers. It's unimaginable how many faces the Ghost Doctor changed over those hundred years to allow her to usurp the spot!

But this was just her guess. Originally, she planned to contact Yingyi to ask if Ghost Doctor had left Ghost Doctor Valley half a year ago.

If the timing matches up, then thinking about it carefully is truly terrifying!

In an unknown period of time, how many people did the Ghost Doctor change their faces?!

What is their purpose? Why spend so much money constantly looking for replacements?

However, these are all issues that should be considered after the matter of Snow City is resolved.

Tian Ning's statement pushed the matter to an even more terrifying level; for almost the entire time, everyone remained silent, trembling with fear.

Such a face-changing technique is far too convenient, even more terrifying than the face-changing pill, especially since the person being replaced is a guard by the city lord. Just how well prepared were those people?

According to Yun Xin, the guard was similar in build to the city lord.

She later inquired with the steward and learned that the guard had entered the city lord's mansion in his twenties.

Tian Ning said, "In his early twenties, when his physique is stable, he was sent to the city lord's mansion to be ready to be replaced at any time."

Everyone: "..."

They dared not utter a sound.

If they didn't know that Tianning would never joke about important matters, they really wouldn't believe it.

“However…” Tian Ning continued, “Snow City is currently surrounded by beast tides and blizzards, and cultivators can only enter and not leave. I am also unable to contact Ying Yi and the others at the moment.”

In other words, they still have to find the truth themselves.
