    Ye Chen found an inn in the city and asked for a separate small courtyard. The environment was pretty good and very quiet.

    "Master, that Taoist nun went too far. Why didn't you let Xiao Xi kill her?" Lingxi's face was filled with frost at the Eight Immortals table in the room. Thinking of that self-righteous Taoist nun, the anger in her heart has not dissipated until now, and  Lingmo sat next to him and silently poured tea for Ye Chen.

    "That Taoist nun is just a monk at the first level of the Immortal Lord Realm. There is no danger to us. It doesn't matter whether we kill or not." Ye Chen shook his head, a light flashed in his eyes, and he frowned slightly and said:  "But this ancient city is a bit weird. There seems to be something we don't know about."

    "Master, what aspects are you referring to?" Lingmo filled the cup with hot tea and slowly put the teapot down, with a thoughtful look in her beautiful eyes.

    "For example, the teleportation array in the city and the soldier commander who led the troops today are not only abnormal in the former, but also a bit strange in the latter."

    Hearing this, Ling Mo's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and said: "It is indeed a bit abnormal. A city as big as Guyou City has existed for countless years. The teleportation array in the city should be very huge. It is impossible for it to not be able to operate.  There was a queue. As for the soldier the master mentioned, Xiao Mo felt a particularly strange aura from this person, but he couldn't tell what was wrong! "

    "Xiao Xi found that the soldier commander glanced at his master twice when he left. Although that look was well concealed, there was definitely something wrong with it. It seems that there must be some unknown secret in this city."

    "Let's wait and see what happens. If we go to that ancient courtyard tomorrow, we will inevitably be told that the queue is full and we will be asked to wait. No matter what secrets there are in this ancient city, most of them are related to the city lord's palace.  relation."

    "Master, do you think we should break into that ancient courtyard directly and use the teleportation array to leave here, so we don't have to waste time."

    "Wait a little longer. It doesn't matter if you delay for a day or two. I want to know what the secret is here! You all should pay more attention tonight. There may be uninvited guests." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he asked Lingxi and Lingxi  Mo went to the next room to rest, while he sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

    The night gradually came, covering the earth, and the ancient city was very quiet.

    In such a large city, at night, all the shops are closed one after another, people turn out their lights early, the streets are empty and deserted, and there is no one else at all except those who are working the clock.

    Ye Chen accidentally used his spiritual thoughts to discover such a situation, which made him feel even more strange.  Under normal circumstances, such a huge city should be bustling with activity and should be brightly lit even at night, but in this ancient secluded city it is exactly the opposite.

    At the fourth watch, the city became even quieter, shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

    ¡°Boom!!¡±

    Suddenly, a huge noise came, which startled Ye Chen. He glanced with his spiritual mind and found that someone was fighting fiercely in an inn a few streets away.

    Among the two people fighting, one of them was known to Ye Chen. She was the Taoist nun who had a conflict with him during the day. The person fighting him was a person whose whole body was shrouded in fog. His face and body shape could not be seen clearly.  Even Ye Chen's spiritual thoughts couldn't see through it.

    With only a dozen moves, the Taoist nun was covered in blood and severely injured by the person shrouded in mist. In the end, even her arms were chopped off.  But the mysterious man did not kill the Taoist nun. He sealed the Taoist nun's cultivation, then carved a seal in the air and penetrated it into her body. The Taoist nun immediately fainted.

    The mysterious man shrouded in mist disappeared into the inn with the Taoist nun's body, tearing through the void. After a moment, Ye Chen's spiritual sense could no longer sense it.

    "It seems that this is not a simple grudge dispute. Otherwise, I would just kill him. Why take him away?" Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and began to think. He felt more and more that there was something mysterious in the ancient secluded city. This  Most of these things are not simple.

    An hour later, when the time entered the fifth watch, Ye Chen suddenly felt that someone was approaching here, but in just a short moment, he had already approached the small courtyard.

    Ye Chen's body suddenly disappeared, tore through the void and left the room to the small courtyard.  Just when his body had just manifested, the ground suddenly cracked, and a mysterious man shrouded in mist rushed out, reaching out to grab his throat. A black vortex appeared between his eyebrows, and a bright red handle appeared.  The flying knife came through the air and hit his forehead.

    "Poof!"

    Ye Chen pointed at the grabbing hand and pierced it on the spot, causing blood to splatter.  At the same time, dense immortal lines appeared between his eyebrows, and the blood-colored flying knives shot on them, making a harsh and sonorous trembling sound, and were bounced back.

    The mysterious man in the hood was very surprised. He did not expect that Ye Chen would be so powerful, and even a sudden attack would be difficult to achieve. His arms shook, and a black vortex appeared behind him, with a strange aura emanating from it, and the avenue circulated.  Next, the black vortex was like an unknown black hole in space, generating strong suction and confining the space in the small courtyard, trying to suck Ye Chen into the whirlpool black hole.

    "Who are you? These means are not enough to suppress me." Ye Chen's voice was very calm, and he stretched out his golden palm and pressed it out, very casually, but the immortal power contained in that palm was very terrifying.  It shattered the whirlpool black hole.

    "Poof!"

    The body of the mysterious man shrouded in mist swayed, he vomited a mouthful of blood, and a cold light shot out of his eyes, but he did not continue to take action and turned around to run away.

    "Now that you're here, don't leave." Ye Chen reached out and grabbed it. The world in his palms evolved, like a curtain covering the sky, covering all the space in front of him. The mysterious man immediately fell into his hands and was detained.  .

    "I would like to see who you are. You must have kidnapped the Taoist nun before." Ye Chen brought the mysterious man to his side. Looking at this guy who was shrouded in mist, he couldn't help but be very curious.

    He condensed his soul, and wisps of immortal patterns appeared in his eyes, which were then intertwined into talismans. Two blazing fairy lights emitted from his eyes. He wanted to see what was going on with the mist surrounding this mysterious man, but even his soul was not connected.  Even God can't see through it.

    After careful observation, Ye Chen finally understood that this mysterious man had been planted with a kind of formation pattern. This formation pattern was very profound and could mobilize the general trend of the world to form rules that lingered on the body surface, making it impossible for people to peek.  .

    But even his soul cannot see through it. This formation pattern is too extraordinary. How could there be such a mysterious figure in the ancient city? What is the purpose of kidnapping people late at night?

    "I'm really curious. Someone actually planted this kind of array pattern on your body to hide your identity. Your purpose must be very simple."

    "Hey, you can actually see the formation patterns on my body. You really have some skills. But what if you catch me tonight? Since you have been targeted, you will go to that place sooner or later." The mysterious man  His voice was low and hoarse, and his tone was very calm, without any fluctuation at all.

    Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I just came to Guyou City, how did you target me, and where is the place you call?"

    "Don't waste your time, you won't get any useful information from me. If you really want to know where that place is, you will naturally understand it when you go there in the future."

    Ye Chen was silent, a golden vortex appeared between his eyebrows, and the powerful spiritual thoughts passed through the fog and submerged into the mysterious man's consciousness, but the mysterious man's soul immediately exploded.

    "It seems that we really can't get any useful information." Ye Chen shook his head and sighed. He began to carve formation patterns in the void, and then drove them into the corpse of the mysterious man to dissolve the formation patterns planted on his body.

    "Whoops!"

    The formation patterns on the mysterious man's body were gradually resolved, and the fog gradually dissipated. However, when the fog on his face dissipated, the mysterious man's body turned into a pile of black sand like a sand sculpture blown by the wind.

    "Master, what on earth is going on" Lingxi and Lingmo happened to see this scene when they came out. Their faces showed surprise and they couldn't help but ask aloud.

    Ye Chen¡¯s expression was solemn. He frowned and thought. At the moment when the mysterious man¡¯s body turned into black sand, he saw his face with a blink of an eye. It was a pale face, but he couldn¡¯t see his facial features clearly.

    "We may really be in big trouble, and there will be no peace in the future. We need to always pay attention to someone taking action in the dark." Ye Chen said this. He did not expect that the water in Guyou City was so deep, and he encountered such a thing when he first arrived.  , became the target of the mysterious forces, but why they wanted to arrest him, Ye Chen couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

    "Master, what is going on? What trouble are we in?"

    "There is a mysterious force that is eyeing us and wants to take us to an unknown place"

    Ye Chen told the situation in detail, including what the mysterious man just said.  Lingxi and Lingmo listened quietly, their expressions changed slightly, they didn't say a word, they didn't know what they were thinking.

    "Master, what should we do next?"

    ¡°We¡¯ll wait and see what happens, and we¡¯ll see if we learn more about the situation tomorrow.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    In the early morning of the next day, Ye Chen took Ling Xi and Ling Mo out early. When passing by an alley, he heard several people discussing what happened last night deep in the alley.

    "Another person was kidnapped last night, leaving only a severed arm."

    "Yes"?I heard that it was a woman's arm. Judging from the clothing on the arm, it should be a Taoist robe. Could it be that she was the Taoist nun who let the wolf attack on the street yesterday?  "

    "If it's really her, she deserves it. That Taoist nun is too arrogant."

    "What do you think is going on in our ancient city? Over the years, monks and children have been mysteriously missing in the middle of the night. The city lord has long said that he would do his best to investigate this matter, but there have been no clues for several years. Everyone is worried  Very uneasy, especially those with children at home, who are always on tenterhooks.¡±

    "Let's go, let's go. It's better not to talk about this matter. The city lord has already issued an order. You can't discuss the matter of someone missing late at night, let alone talk to outsiders. If you are found out, you will be beheaded.  !¡±

    Those minor cultivators who were talking fell silent one after another and stopped talking about this matter. Ye Chen glanced at them and saw deep fear on their faces, and he couldn't help but become more confused.

    Ye Chen was thinking as he walked. If the person who kidnapped the monks and children late at night was too mysterious and the lord of the ancient city could not find any clues, it would not be impossible.  But why the lord of Ancient You City doesn't let people discuss these things, let alone mention them to outsiders, is a mystery. Is there something fishy in it?

    This kind of thing is indeed taboo in ancient Youcheng. Except for hearing someone whispering in the alley with his keen sense just now, Ye Chen didn't hear anyone mention what happened last night along the way.

    People were doing their own things as usual, seemingly unaware of what happened last night.  But what happened last night was too noisy, and the sound of fighting was like thunder. How could it go unnoticed? This made the whole city seem very strange and mysterious.
