Chapter 2159 Revealing Flaws
Ye Liuyun only told Xu Mulin from the perspective of listening to others.
"According to the martial arts cultivators, none of the martial arts cultivators who were practicing inside came out, and it was very strange to see no one alive or dead.
As for why the soul pressure of Duhun Mountain disappeared, no one can explain clearly.
They didn't have the strength to get close to Duhun Mountain, so they didn't know what exactly happened.
There are also many speculations, and there is no unified statement. "
"oh?
So what are the speculations among the public? "
Xu Mulin continued to ask about the situation with a smile.
"Some people say that the Crossing Soul Mountain swallowed up all the martial arts cultivators, while others say that it was a fight between two strong men, and everyone else suffered.
Those two strong men refer to the God King and a ghost in the mountain.
Of course, some people say that the treasures in Duhun Mountain have been taken away. "
Ye Liuyun continued.
These are the main versions of real public speculation, and they are not made up by him.
"Then which statement does City Lord Zhao think is more likely to be the truth?"
Xu Mulin asked Ye Liuyun in return.
"Well...it's just everyone's guess. Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong. No one dares to guess at will."
Ye Liuyun said with difficulty.
Xu Mulin did not give up, and continued to ask: "Has the city lord ever thought that the treasures in Duhun Mountain were taken away?"
Ye Liuyun just shook his head and smiled: "Let alone going up the mountain, it is impossible for ordinary people to even get close! If you want to take the treasure from Duhun Mountain, it is even harder than climbing to the sky!"
"So there was a battle between the Soul King and the Yin Soul?"
Xu Mulin continued to ask tentatively.
Ye Liuyun also shook his head: "The God King and the ghost had been at peace with each other for many years, and suddenly they started fighting?
I think this is unlikely! "
"That means Duhun Mountain swallowed up all those martial arts cultivators?"
Xu Mulin asked with a smile. He thought this statement was a bit ridiculous.
Ye Liuyun also laughed and said: "Duhun Mountain has existed for many years, but this kind of thing has never happened before.
I estimate that if it can swallow up martial arts cultivators, then no martial cultivators will be able to come back alive! "
"Hahaha!"
Xu Mulin also laughed.
"We have no choice but to investigate further slowly!"
"But..." Xu Mulin changed the topic and asked Ye Liuyun: "Didn't the city lord send anyone out to investigate the situation?"
Ye Liuyun immediately explained: "There is no need to send people to Duhun Mountain to solve the problem of the disappearance of the divine soul pressure in Duhun Mountain.
Not far from the city, you can feel that the pressure of the divine soul is no longer there.
Soul cultivation has always been popular at Duhun Mountain.
If I sent an ordinary person there, I'm afraid he might not be able to come back, and he would be robbed by those soul cultivators halfway.
I'm also very curious about the changes in Duhun Mountain, but the number of soul cultivators in the city suddenly increased, and I'm afraid of trouble, so I don't dare to leave my post without permission! "
"Yeah! It makes some sense!"
Xu Mulin nodded and followed Ye Liuyun's words.
But Ye Liuyun couldn't tell from his demeanor whether he believed or disbelieved his words.
At this time, wine and food were also served, and Ye Liuyun, Xu Mulin and others continued to eat and chat.
Xu Mulin continued to ask Ye Liuyun about some details about the martial arts cultivator.
He even often asked Ye Liuyun for his opinion.
Finally, he asked Ye Liuyun: "In the city lord's opinion, what exactly happened to cause this situation to occur?"
Ye Liuyun could only shake his head helplessly: "I really can't guess it! It's too incredible!"
Xu Mulin did not continue to ask about Soul Crossing Mountain. After chatting with Ye Liuyun for a while about the situation in Jinghun City, the meal came to an end.
Xu Mulin suddenly changed his mind and asked Ye Liuyun: "We still need to trouble the city lord to stay here for a day or two and make some inquiries to the soul cultivators outside. I wonder if the city lord's mansion can be convenient and arrange some accommodation for us." ?
If it's not convenient, then we'll stay at the inn so as not to disturb the city lord. "
"Convenient! When you get to my place, don't worry, Special Envoy, I will make arrangements for you!"
Ye Liuyun also hurriedly agreed.
But he was thinking in his heart: "Why does this old guy suddenly stop leaving?
Could it be that something I said made him see the flaw?
There shouldn’t be! "
Ye Liuyun also thought over what he just said in his mind, and felt that there were no loopholes. He couldn't figure out why Xu Mulin insisted on staying.
"Sir, if we don't investigate Duhun Mountain, how long will we stay here?"
A strong man brought by Xu Mulin was also sending messages to ask Xu Mulin.
He used to be a commander in the army and was very rigid in executing orders.
"You reply to the God King first. The pressure of the divine soul on Duhun Mountain must have disappeared. Let him send troops to guard Duhun Mountain first.
We will investigate other matters slowly. "
Xu Mulin also sent a message to the martial arts cultivator.
"Then should we go to Duhun Mountain to investigate first?
Do you need me to take some people to check out the situation first? "
The martial artist asked again.
Xu Mulin told the martial artist: "It's okay.
You take some people to see the situation first, and I'll stay and learn more about the situation!
I think this city lord is a bit interesting, maybe I can get more information from him! You secretly observed his behavior and attitude, does he look like a city lord? "
The martial artist secretly observed Ye Liuyun for a while, but didn't see any difference. On the contrary, he had a very good impression of Ye Liuyun.
"What problem do you see, sir?"
"
Xu Mulin explained to him: "I don't think his behavior and attitude are like an ordinary city lord.
Before I came here, I asked people who knew about Zhao Rongde's situation. He should be the kind of person who is particularly good at flattering others.
But now that I see him, he is polite and elegant, and his analysis of problems is spotless, which is obviously inconsistent with what I heard about him.
Of course, it may be that I am too worried! You might as well take some people to see it on the spot first! "
"yes!"
The martial arts cultivator agreed, and immediately took the nine martial arts cultivators, left the city lord's mansion, and rushed to Duhun Mountain.
Xu Mulin, however, settled down peacefully in the City Lord's Mansion. He had nothing to do at night and even drank tea and chatted with Ye Liuyun.
Xu Mulin's words were all testing Ye Liuyun's understanding of Soul Respecting City.
If Ye Liuyun hadn't controlled all the martial arts cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion, he really wouldn't be able to answer some questions.
When he killed Zhao Rongde, he didn't search the soul so carefully to understand the situation of these small things.
He also realized that Xu Mulin had discovered something and was deliberately testing him.
"Jiang is really old! He can suspect that there is something wrong with me just by chatting!"
Ye Liuyun admired Xu Mulin and was a little worried in his heart. He didn't know how long he wanted to stay with him.
At the same time, he was urging Lord Mengchang to have those soul cultivators come back at full speed, and to give up on unfinished tasks without wasting time.
As long as he waits for these people to arrive, he has nothing to worry about even if he falls out with Xu Mulin.
If he leaves without waiting for these people to come back, they may eventually be arrested by the central dynasty and forced to question Ye Liuyun.
