"As expected~" Qu Youran looked around the tower of the Honour Tower--At this moment, many guards from the Jiuxiao Palace and other immortal cultivators in the Nanjun City gathered towards the tower, "Brother Ren, your spells just now attracted many immortal cultivators."

"Tsk, yes~ It's too high-profile..." Chen Xingkong smacked his tongue, then turned to Bai Yuhan and said, "Brother Bai, you should know what to do, right?"

"I know! I'll go and do some things!" After saying that, Bai Yuhan immediately went down the tower...

Afterwards, Bai Yuhan summoned the branch guards and first clarified the authenticity of Qu Youran's identity to them. Then, he directed the guards, compiled some perfunctory words, and sent the group of guys who ran around the branch to "see the strangeness" and officials who came to ask about the situation.--When all this was done, he would invite Qu Youran and Chen Xingkong to the higher wing room of the branch.

"Please rest here tonight, two of you." As soon as Qu Youran and Chen Xingkong sat down in the flower hall of the wing room, Bai Yuhan said respectfully to them.

"Okay~ Thank you for your hard work..." Qu Youran responded softly, then seemed to remember something, and asked Bai Yuhan again, "Have you reported to my father about what happened today?"

"I want to report to the master...but..." As he said that, Bai Yuhan looked embarrassed, "There seems to be a problem with the 'Thousand Miles Message Secret Talisman' on our side, and none of them can contact the Jiuxiao Main Palace!"

"What?!" Qu Youran was shocked when she heard this, and immediately reached out to Bai Yuhan and said, "Give me a try!"

So, Bai Yuhan immediately took out a talisman with black characters from his pocket and handed it to Qu Youran.

"Tsk...it really doesn't work..." After trying it, Qu Youran knew that what Bai Yuhan said was not false, "But this talisman doesn't seem to be strange? What the hell is going on?"

"Give me a look?" At this time, Chen Xingkong also extended his hand to Bai Yuhan, and of course Bai Yuhan also gave him a secret talisman for the thousand-mile voice transmission.

"Uh... Young Master, since our notes are not good...why...what do you want to try what you brought?" After giving Chen Xingkong's talisman, Bai Yuhan gave Qu Youran a suggestion.

"I want to try it!" Qu Youran spread his hands unhappily when he heard this, "But when I went on a mission before, the notes I brought with me were lost inexplicably... I thought that if I really wanted to use them in the future, I could use my subordinates first, so I didn't care much..."

"The mission was launched before? Is it about...Duan Fengya's mission?" Chen Xingkong asked Qu Youran while fiddling with the notes.

"Yes! Yes!" Qu Youran nodded.

"How did that false Qu Youran explain about Duan Fengya's mission?" Chen Xingkong suddenly turned to Bai Yuhan, and in his hand, he was still fiddling with the notes.

"While escorting Duan Fengya, monsters were killed halfway, everyone was killed, only she escaped by luck!" Bai Yuhan responded loudly.

"Have she mentioned that Duan Feng Cliff destroyed the prison car in the middle of the journey?" Chen Xingkong asked.

"Duan Feng Cliff destroyed the prison car in the middle of the journey?!" Bai Yuhan looked surprised.

"Ha~" As soon as he saw Bai Yuhan's face, Chen Xingkong knew the answer to his question just now. Then, he turned to Qu Youran and said, "Ran'er, it seems that the previous attack on you by the monster, and the current attack on Nanjun City, were all premeditated~"

"What? Brother Ren, are you saying...oh! I understand!" After Chen Xingkong reminded him, Qu Youran also "wakes up." "If it weren't for Brother Ren, you, the 'unexpected variable', then the mastermind behind the scenes would have succeeded!"

"Yes, I am indeed a big 'variable'~" Chen Xingkong laughed at himself when he heard this, then raised the notes in his hand and said seriously, "In addition, there is no problem with this talisman. The reason why it is impossible to use it to contact the main hall of Jiuxiao Palace is that someone used an interference device to block the communication signals of the entire Nanjun City and its surrounding areas."

"Interference...deviation device?"

“Communication…signal?”

Bai Yuhan and Qu Youran looked confused.

"Uh...simply put, someone used some magic weapon to prohibit all external contact methods here~" Chen Xingkong reluctantly explained, "I think not only is the sound transmission notes of your Jiuxiao Palace that cannot be used, but the sound transmission notes of the entire Nanjun city and its surrounding areas cannot be used~"

"Is the other party trying to isolate us? Who are they? Why are they doing this?!" Bai Yuhan looked nervous.

"It's simple to know who the other party is. Do you have enemies or competitors? Is there a way to manipulate those... monsters? As for their purpose... let's think about whether there is anything particularly attractive in this Nanjun city that has to razor it to the ground before you can start?" Chen Xingkong instantly provided Bai Yuhan with two lines of thinking.

"Xiaoyao Sect!" As soon as Chen Xingkong finished speaking, Qu Youran blurted out a term, "This cult has always been against our immortal cultivation sect, and has always advocated the use of the power of the demon clan. Although, in history, they have never had the opportunity to manipulate monsters, they have only done such things as driving magic at a cruel price! They think they are the group that knows the demon clan best in this Tianxuan Continent!"

"Yes! Yes!" Bai Yuhan immediately agreed, "After the young master said this, they are indeed the most likely masterminds!"

"What about the motive for attacking Nanjun City?" Chen Xingkong asked, "Is there something particularly attractive here?"

"Uh..." Facing this question, Bai Yuhan immediately stammered, "Well... it seems that there is really no... We are quite biased here and are not valued very much..."

"So has anything special happened here recently?" Qu Youran asked.

"This... doesn't seem...oh! By the way!" Bai Yuhan slapped his mind, "The county magistrate here discovered a gold mine when he was digging the basement in his mansion not long ago! However, after our people received the news, they also went to see it--it was just an ordinary gold mine, and it was useless for the immortal cultivator, so we didn't care about it anymore... I wonder if this is a special thing?"

"For sure! Of course!" Qu Youran was still hesitating, and Chen Xingkong said with his eyes lit up, "Brother Bai, do you have any way to let us explore the gold mine?"

"Uh...yes, yes!" Bai Yuhan thought for a moment and immediately replied, "There is a ready-made opportunity now. The officials sent by the county magistrate to understand the situation have said that the county magistrate plans to hold a dinner in his newly built mansion in three days to thank us and other immortal cultivators for their efforts to protect the city! I haven't responded directly to whether they will go!"

"Okay! Very good!" Chen Xingkong clapped his hands when he heard this, "Then we will go to this dinner appointment in three days!"
Chapter completed!
