C109

Li Xie let out a long sigh of relief. Right now, he was truly free to do whatever he wanted.

Dongfang Liang was no longer the Dongfang Liang of the past. He was the only one left who knew her original identity.

This wasn't the first time they met, but this was the way of the world. Every time they met, it might be the last.

Some of them had only heard of each other, but never had the opportunity to meet one.

Three days later, Li Xie and Sun Pei arrived at the Sangzhou City travel worn out.

Shi Jianchuan did not go with them, he chose to continue to roam about East Qin Kingdom.

Li Xie recalled the last time he came to Sangzhou City, when the Devil Monarch was still here.

The streets and alleys of Sangzhou City could not compare to the flourishing of the Ziyang City, but there were also quite a few pedestrians, passersby and merchants passing by.

To Li Xie, Sangzhou City was nothing special. If he had to think of a special place, it would be Mu Yunji.

If it wasn't for Mu Yunji, there wouldn't be such a smooth Sangzhou City.

Compared to the other powerful aristocratic families in the other cities, Sangzhou City was not.

This time Mu Yun Chu had specially sent someone to ask Li Xie to come to Sangzhou City, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.

Li Xie did not hesitate and immediately rode the horse to invite them.

When Li Xie and Sun Pei arrived at the Sangzhou City entrance, they heard the chaos within the City Lord's Mansion.

Logically speaking, such a large amount of Sangzhou City should not have any problems under Mu Yunji's control, so how could such a small amount of City Lord's Mansion have any problems?

Li Xie looked to the left and right of the Sangzhou City gate, and saw that there were actually no soldiers guarding the gate.

Li Xie and Sun Pei looked at each other and exchanged gazes. They all felt that something big had happened within the City Lord's Mansion.

They immediately walked into the City Lord's Mansion area with quick steps, and saw that the servants and soldiers were all frowning.

When Li Xie passed by them, they did not pay attention to him.

The Sangzhou City and City Lord's Mansion were immersed in a sorrowful atmosphere, even the sunset on the horizon had lost its luster.

Li Xie frowned, a bad premonition was about to hit him!

Young Master Li, you're here!

Li Xie and Sun Pei stopped in their tracks to look for the source of the sound. The person who spoke was indeed City Lord's Mansion's Commander Ding.

Commander Ding was the most loyal person in the entire Sangzhou City to Mu Yunji, and also the person who supported him the most.

Li Xie quickly walked toward Commander Ding and Sun Pei immediately followed closely behind.

Commander Ding, where is the City Lord of Mu Yun? Li Xie asked with a slightly anxious tone.

Commander Ding did not reply, but shook his head vigorously. He looked very dispirited.

Li Xie's heart tensed up, it was very possible that something had happened to Mu Yun Chu.

Commander Ding gave Li Xie a look, signalling Li Xie to keep up with his footsteps, then quickly walked towards Mu Yunji's bedroom.

Li Xie looked at Commander Ding from the side, not a trace of blood could be seen on his face.

It was as if even if a gentle breeze were to blow at this moment, it would make Commander Ding fall to the ground.

After passing through the corridor and several courtyards, Mu Yunji's bedroom was already in front of Li Xie.

Although this was the first time Sun Pei had stepped into the City Lord's Mansion s, she could feel that the current atmosphere of the City Lord's Mansion was completely different from before.

She saw a look of worry on Li Xie's face and followed suit.

The last time she was captured by the Devil Monarch, she had glanced at Mu Yunji. Could it be that she didn't have the chance to speak to Mu Yunji again?

Squeak squeak...

When Li Xie and the rest entered Mu Yunji's bedroom, the door closed up.

Li Xie extended his gaze forward, and at the end of his line of sight, Mu Yunji was calmly lying there.

The blood on Mu Yunji's chest had already dried up and he had reached the end of his life.

Li Xie immediately walked to Mu Yunji's side and looked at his fatal wound. He was alarmed.

The person who killed Mu Yunji was extremely vicious and did not give him any chance to live.

Li Xie looked around the room. Other than the windows that were open, the bedroom did not have any signs of a fight.

It was very likely that the person who killed Mu Yunji already knew Mu Yunji. Thus, he was able to unknowingly kill him.

Li Xie turned his face and looked at Commander Ding; he had never seen Commander Ding who was covered in worry like this.

Mu Yun Chu was already dead, so even if they had to strictly guard against it, this news would still spread throughout every street and alleyway of Sangzhou City. The Sangzhou City would immediately descend into an extremely chaotic state.

In the past, because of Mu Yunji's existence, no one dared to act rashly.

Commander Ding, do you know why City Master Mu Yun invited me back to the Sangzhou City? Li Xie asked, he suspected that Mu Yunji had already smelled danger.

But he was still a step too late, Li Xie blamed himself endlessly.

I don't know. I didn't pursue the matter. Commander Ding said.

Hmm, have you heard of any powers that want to make a move on City Lord Mu Yun recently? Li Xie asked.

No, the recent Sangzhou City were calm and tranquil. Commander Ding replied.

This was extremely strange. Li Xie said as he held his cheek.

Commander Ding, who do you think is the murderer of City Lord Mu Yun? Sun Pei gazed at Commander Ding and asked.

Commander Ding frowned and fell into deep thought. He then paced back and forth in the bedroom with heavy steps.

Although it had been peaceful and quiet in the city lately, there would always be undercurrents.

As the commander of the Sangzhou City s, he would more or less pay attention to this news.

Li Xie stared at Commander Ding from the corner of his eyes. In all of Sangzhou City City, he could only understand Commander Ding.

When Commander Ding stopped, there was a trace of cold killing intent on his face.

I suspect that the culprit is Sect Leader Tang Zeng from the sky palace north of the city! Commander Ding said.

Why did they send Sect Leader s? Li Xie knew very little about the Void He Sect.

Last time at the Sangzhou City, his mind was completely focused on dealing with Devil Monarch, and he wasn't paying attention to the situation regarding the Sangzhou City.

When Commander Ding told Li Xie about the Void He Sect, he finally had a basic understanding of the sect.

From the day Tang Zeng was created, the Void He Sect only had a dozen or so years of history, and could be said to have no hidden backing.

Although the Konghe Sect was a young faction, it had been developing rapidly ever since it was founded.

Given enough time, they might even be able to become the leader of an upright clan like the Sangzhou City.

Several hours later, his Sangzhou City was tightly embraced by nightfall.

As expected, the news of Mu Yunji being killed seemed to have grown wings and spread through all the streets and alleys of the Ziyang City.

In Sangzhou City City, there were very few people who wanted to watch the excitement, and even more were frowning because of Mu Yunji's death.

The night of Sangzhou City was a bit quiet, and there were no longer many people coming and going through the streets and alleys.

The soldiers of the Sangzhou City were still patrolling everywhere, but they had lost their usual vigor.

And in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xie was practicing his sword skills, sparing even a single move.

Sun Pei did not stand at the side. She was using the power of the Spirit Race in the Sangzhou City to gather information for her.

She felt that the person who killed Mu Yunji must still be in Sangzhou City City and he was still waiting for the right time. Could it be that he was attacking Mu Yunji because of the City Lord's position?

In order to prevent the people of Sangzhou City from getting into trouble, the only way was to find the person who had killed Mu Yunji as soon as possible.

No matter how strong the powerhouses behind him were, Sun Pei and Li Xie would never let it go.
