The first question left Lu Ping silent.

Not many people knew about Dong Xiucai's injury, and they could be counted on one hand.

As it happens...he is one of them.

As the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, he basically handles the daily affairs.

Dong Xiucai was injured, so naturally he couldn't hide it from him.

Lu Ping took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Some time ago, the city lord... Dong Xu was assassinated."

"The identity of the person who did it is unknown."

"But Dong Xucai guessed that it was most likely sent by the lord of another main city."

Ling Tian's heart moved.

"So, this is also the reason why he stayed in Pancheng?"

"Yes."

Just as Ling Tian said.

Now we are all in the same boat.

Butler Lu couldn't hide it, and he didn't dare to hide it.

“But that’s just one of the reasons.”

"There's another reason."

"The first place winner of this competition will receive a treasure map."

"That treasure map is actually a map."

"As long as you can find the location on the map, you can get to Central City."

Ling Tian glanced at Gu Renyi.

Gu Renyi, who was wearing Dong Xiucai's face, narrowed his eyes.

This was consistent with what he knew.

Ling Tian sighed silently.

Wen Jiuge thought that the news that was deliberately released would be misunderstood by these city lords as a rumor.

But now it seems that not everyone regards it as a rumor.

at this time.

Butler Lu's words made him stunned.

"The map is now in the Trial Tower of the ruins."

"What did you say?"

Ling Tian couldn't help but be surprised.

He knew very well that the map was now in Li Jiuer's possession.

As long as things are going well.

When the competition here was halfway through, Li Jiuer's competition had already ended.

She will rush to Pancheng before the martial arts competition ends.

There will be no delay in giving the first place reward.

But now Lu Ping told him that there was another map inside the tower?

"How did you know?"

He asked Lu Ping.

Lu Ping replied.

"We saw with our own eyes that someone put that map in there."

"Who?"

"do not know."

Lu Ping shook his head and said again.

"That person came here on his own. He was covered completely from head to toe, so we couldn't see his true face."

"I don't know what he just talked to Dong Xiu."

"Dong Xiu agreed to let him enter the tower to have a look."

At this point, a puzzled look appeared on Lu Ping's face.

"That trial tower will only be opened at a fixed time."

"I don't know how that person got into the tower."

“He said it after he came out.”

"He put a map on the ninth floor."

"That map leads to Central City."

Obviously, this map is not the same as the one in Wenjiuge.

unless……

Wen Jiuge drew one more picture.

Some time ago, he suddenly ran over and threw one of them into the Trial Tower.

But I didn't tell them.

But, that doesn't make sense.

There is no benefit in Wenjiuge doing this.

Unless, he had already rebelled.

But if that was true, Li Jiuer was a woman whose depth he couldn't even see.

How could I not see that there was something wrong with the song "Wen Jiu Ge"?

The only person who had contact with that person was Dong Xiu.

Dong Xu has just died.

Naturally, there is no answer.

Ling Tian put this question aside for the moment and asked again.

"You haven't tried to take the map away first?"

"Tried...but couldn't get in."

Ever since the mysterious man left, Dong Xiucai has been sending people to try to get in.

After all, that thing is not a good thing for him.

Their purpose is to destroy the passage.

If there were other ways to enter the central city, wouldn't their plan fail?

Others can go to Central City.

Who can guarantee that people from the central city cannot come here?

Even if they destroyed the passage, they achieved their goal, but people from the central city were coming.

There is only one ending waiting for them!

Dong Xiucai was very anxious.

But there's no point in being anxious.

They can't get into that tower at all!

If he had not encountered an assassination attempt, he would have informed the other city lords of the situation long ago.

Let’s work together to find a solution.

But because of the assassination, he suspected everyone equally.

Before recovering from the injury.

He didn't intend to reveal it.

But who would have thought that Ling Tian would suddenly appear in the middle of the road.

He just died like that...

After digesting this information, Ling Tian looked at Lu Ping with a smile.

"How much do you know about the plan to destroy the passage?"

"..."

Lu Ping's cheek twitched and he told the truth.

"Not much."

"Tell me as much as you know."

"...Dong Xiucai and his companions are just participants in the plan. The real masterminds behind the scenes are the four adults..."

Lu Ping is very clear about his current situation.

I can only follow Ling Tian and others until the end.

So the answer was quite quick.

"Those four adults are said to be strong men in the realm of questioning the mind."

“But I haven’t seen them.”

"It is said that to destroy the passage, it needs to be done in two steps."

“They completed the first step decades ago.”

"The next step is step two."

"I heard from Dong Xiu that we should take action during this period of time."

"But I haven't received any news about the specific date yet."

Since it was led by those adults, Dong Xucai and others naturally did not dare to make decisions on their own.

After listening to what Butler Lu said, Ling Tian became confused again.

"Do you know what happened in Qiaocheng?"

"Know……"

Butler Lu opened his mouth to explain the situation.

next moment.

But suddenly I realized something.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"Could it be..."

He looked at Ling Tian, ​​his eyes filled with horror.

At the same time, I take it for granted.

The person who can easily kill Dong Xiucai is probably not much weaker than those adults.

There can't be too many strong people like this.

How could it be such a coincidence that someone appeared in Qiaocheng.

Now there is another one in Pancheng?

Combined with the fact that Ling Tian is from Qiaocheng, the answer is obvious.

Ling Tian nodded.

"Yes, it's me."

really!

Lu Ping smiled bitterly.

Dong Xucai, ah Dong Xucai, he ran into this guy's hands.

If you don’t die, who will?

Gu Renyi's expression was calm.

He had no idea what happened in Qiaocheng, and naturally he had no idea what Ling Tian had done.

Lu Ping became more honest.

"You mean to ask what they are going to do to you?"

"I know this clearly..."

"They want to lead you into a ruin."

But who could have thought.

Not only did Ling Tian not fall for it, he even came to Pancheng.

Kill Dong Xiucai...

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows.

"remains?"

Not a channel?

Lu Ping nodded and affirmed.

"They passed the message to Qiaocheng and the location they gave was a relic."

“That relic is very special.”

“It can only be opened from the outside.”

"That is, once you get in, unless someone outside helps."

"Otherwise you'll never be able to get out!"

Ling Tian thought that the other party was planning to set a trap and have a group of experts ambush him.

But I didn't expect that they were planning to trap me!

In that case...

Li Jiuer, will anything happen?
