When Xiao Chen returned to the City Lord's Mansion, it was almost late at night. The huge City Lord's Mansion seemed to be the only one who could be Xiao Chen himself, and it seemed a little deserted.

Xiao Chen stood in the foreground of the city lord's mansion and let out a long sigh.

He thought carefully about what was going to happen later and checked his countermeasures one by one.

Before he knew it, he had already walked to his bedroom.

A bright moon hangs above the sky, and the bright moonlight illuminates everything around.

The bright moonlight now looks like Xiao Chen’s current state of mind.

Everything can be seen very clearly, but everything seems to be covered in a cloud, revealing endless darkness.

Xiao Chen stood for a moment, trying to clear all these things out of his mind, and then walked into the bedroom and started today's practice.

Sometimes, Xiao Chen felt that he was surrounded by friends, tsunami, as if he had the power to make a comeback.

Sometimes, he feels very helpless. Facing the uncertainty of the future, no matter how he arranges it, it seems that it cannot be perfect.

This feeling has appeared in his heart not once or twice.

Especially in recent times, Xiao Chen feels that his psychological pressure has increased dramatically.

And this situation will not improve at all in the current situation, and may even become more and more serious.

But what can he do?

He could only face the uncertain future, face the huge whirlpools and cliffs that might appear in front of him, and try his best to make himself calm.

Now he is not alone, but he is responsible for the entire Xiyun City.

If the road ahead is wrong, it will not be his own mistake. His mistake may cause a large number of casualties.

This is something that Xiao Chen can't tolerate in his heart.

Others can't understand his mentality.

Since ancient times, people have wanted to be kings, but who knows the truth that high places are too cold?

Xiao Chen is just a small city lord of an ordinary city, and he is surrounded by his own people.

This way you can feel the strong pressure.

How strong loneliness and hardship that the true king, the real lonely man, has to endure is unimaginable.

In this kind of thought, Xiao Chen quickly entered into meditation and continued to practice his Nine Turns of Heaven and Star Wheel Power.

Only by improving your combat power and improving your own strength can you better protect the people around you.

When everything comes, he must be the most stable one among all.

Xiao Chen entered into meditation, and the entire Xiyun City seemed to fall into a deep sleep under the dark night.

But in fact, Xiyun City is not calm under this dark night.

The masters of the Demonic Hall Palace traveled around Xiyun City to explore the information about Xiyun City, while the four Shankyou sisters and sisters searched for these people throughout Xiyun City.

The black shadows flashed and the breeze was gentle. This was a silent battle. They were struggling desperately for their own survival.

As dawn approached, Xie Yuan, the master of the Demon Hall Palace, returned to the inn, but he waited until the sky was bright, and only five of the masters of the Demon Hall Palace around her came back.

The remaining five people were missing.

Jie Yuan immediately frowned and called his five masters.

"You were active in Xiyun City last night, did you ever see something suspicious?"

Jie Yuan frowned, and she suddenly felt like she was trapped in Xiao Chen's trap.

"No."

One of them shook his head and said, "I checked almost all the shops in Xiyun City last night, and even went to the Chamber of Commerce in Xiyun City to check the business roads in Xiyun City. I found no other things, and I was not even discovered."

"Yes, so do I."

The other man looked at Jie Yuan and whispered softly: "The guards in Xiyun City are very loose. Although there are monks patrolling on the streets, they are just doing things."

"I traveled through Xiyun City, checked many large courtyards, and learned about the identities of these people, but I was not discovered or disturbed by anyone."

The remaining three people also talked about their situation with Jie Yuan. All of them were like this without exception. They did not suffer any obstacles at all, and they were not even discovered by anyone.

And Jie Yuan himself is the same.

She went to Xiao Chen's City Lord's Mansion in person, inspected the entire City Lord's Mansion, and even saw the people living in the City Lord's Mansion.

Even so, she was not discovered by anyone, let alone anybody’s ideas.

But now, there are five of them missing. What's going on?

"Xiyun City is not big, haven't you met each other?"

Jie Yuan asked again puzzledly: "Didn't you see it?"

"No."

The first person immediately spoke and said, "I have investigated more carefully and rarely shuttled outside Xiyun City."

"I found nothing wrong with Xiyun City residential area, and I didn't see my own people either."

"This... is so strange... they just disappeared for no reason?"

Jie Yuan frowned slightly.

This should not happen at all.

The people she brought out were the ones who were most loyal to the sect, and they were also the ten people with the highest cultivation level in the sect.

They cannot be unable to return to the assembly point at normal times.

But now these people suddenly disappeared, which gave Jie Yuan a bad premonition.

"Is it possible that they... were captured by Xiao Chen's men?"

"Impossible!"

The few people were immediately stunned and said, "That night, I didn't see any movements of many monks in Xiyun City, and the city lord Xiao Chen had never appeared."

"When I walked through the city, I didn't see anything wrong. Everything was consistent with the news I had investigated before."

"Sect Master, are you thinking too much? Will they be delayed because of something?"

"How is that possible!"

Jie Yuan immediately said: "This is Xiyun City. What can they do in Xiyun City? This is not our own place!"

"Besides, even if there is something wrong, it's a turbulent time now. Do you still understand which one is more important?"

The more Jie Yuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. She immediately looked at the people present and said, "Where did those people go to investigate?"

"Um……"

One of them thought for a moment, then spoke: "There is another person in charge of the movements of the high-level Xiyun City in the Fuku, the arsenal warehousing, the granary, and the alchemy office in Xiyun City."

"These are all key locations in Xiyun City..."

Jie Yuan had already guessed what was going on in his heart.

But now, she doesn't know what method to solve it.

"Sect Master, we are now..."

"You guys rest first, I'll go out."

Jie Yuan threw a word directly, and regardless of how these people reacted, she stood up straight and opened the door and walked out.
