Chapter 676: Rumors that cannot be distinguished from true to false (two chapters in one)
Lin Li looked at the gorgeous mansion that appeared in front of him, glanced at the plaque hanging above the door, and said in his mouth, "City Lord's Mansion? ”
I learned from Wu Qingfang that the City Lord’s Mansion is located in the center of the ancient city. It can be said to be the core of the ancient city.
Previously, Lin Li's location was very close to the city gate. Then he accidentally entered a strange area and was trapped inside for a long time.
Now that he was out of trouble, he suddenly arrived at the core area of the ancient city, which surprised Lin Li very much.
"Boom."
A loud sound came from the city lord's palace, and a black column of smoke rose into the air.
Lin Li was a little curious about what happened in the city lord's mansion, so he thought quickly and ran towards the far wall.
Although he could enter the City Lord's Mansion directly through the gate, due to concealment considerations, it was obviously not the right choice to enter directly through the gate in a swaggering manner.
When he arrived at the wall, Lin Li immediately bent over and pushed his feet on the ground.
He rose up from the ground, supported the bricks on the wall with his left hand, and climbed over the wall easily.
After Lin Li entered the city lord's mansion, he immediately started to sense his mental power.
He soon discovered that there were many spiritual energy fluctuations in the distance.
If the guess is correct, the ones emitting these psychic fluctuations should be the treasure hunters who came to the city lord's mansion to hunt for treasure.
The loud noise that Lin Li heard at the door of the City Lord's Mansion was most likely caused by the treasure hunters fighting each other.
As for the reason for taking action, it may be because of the grudges between each other, or it may be that they found some valuable treasure and started fighting for it.
Just when Lin Li was about to sneak towards the place where the battle took place to see what happened, the alarm bell in his heart suddenly sounded.
"Whoosh..."
A harsh sound broke through the air, and Lin, who reacted quickly, immediately ducked sideways.
“Bang.”
A stone pillar in the distance was exploded, and the broken stones fell to the ground with a clatter.
The enemy who launched a sneak attack on Lin Li was a very ordinary-looking plant.
Although this inconspicuous plant does not emit psychic energy fluctuations, the lethality caused by the sneak attack it just launched cannot be underestimated.
If the person who was attacked was not Lin Li, but an ordinary person, there would be no way to avoid the plant's attack. Once the attack was successful, the hard stone pillars would be blown apart. You can imagine the fate of ordinary people. And know.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
This ordinary-looking plant is two meters tall and wrapped with dark brown vines.
After Lin Li dodged the sneak attack of this plant, intensive attacks came again.
“It’s endless, right?” Lin Li muttered, and then he took out the long sword that he had stored in the mysterious island again.
"Click, click, click..."
The extremely sharp sword and the dense vines that surrounded it collided, and the winner was decided in an instant.
Lin Li looked at the vines that he had cut off, and found that green juice was constantly coming out of these things, and the smell of green grass began to float in the air, which smelled quite good.
Without the vines, the ferocious plant that attacked Lin Li immediately became calm and motionless, like an ordinary, inconspicuous plant.
"..." Lin Li looked at the motionless ferocious plant and was speechless. He thought in his heart, "It was so ferocious just now, but now it is so honest. You can really see the situation clearly!"
"Tap, step, step..."
The sound of footsteps sounded, and Lin Li walked towards the motionless ferocious plant.
"Don't think that if you become honest now, I will let you go. Since you wanted my life just now, it's my turn to fight back."
Lin Li muttered a few words to the ferocious plant with a smile. sentence, and then looked at the ferocious plant that was twisting again, looking very frightened, and mercilessly waved the spiritual sword in its hand.
“Bang.”
Seeing that the spiritual sword was about to chop down the ferocious plant, the opponent rose up from the ground, its roots entangled together, and turned into feet, quickly He ran away into the distance at a speed that was jaw-dropping.
"..." Lin Li looked at the ferocious things that were fleeing and thought, "How come so many of the plants in this ancient city can run away on their own?"
Since he had seen many plants that could run away on their own, Lin Li was not surprised.
There is a saying that you have offended the abbot, do you still want to leave? Therefore, Lin Li would not let go of this ferocious plant that tried to kill him just now.
Escape and chase, the ferocious plants and figures that fled quickly disappeared.

Blue Star, Rongcheng.
In a villa community in the North District, in the study room on the second floor of a magnificent villa.
Zhang Xiaohao was dealing with work matters, but he seemed unable to concentrate. He was looking at the documents in his hand, but he was thinking about other things in his mind.
“Dong dong dong…”
There was a knock on the door, Zhang Xiaohao put down the document in his hand and shouted.
“Who is it?”
"It's me." The person outside the door said, and then pushed the door open and entered.
Wearing a cheongsam, Wu Guilan came to Zhang Xiaohao with a plate of cut fruits in her hand and placed the fruit plate on the desk.
“Eat some fruit!”
“Yes.” Zhang Xiaohao nodded, and then ate the fruit slowly.
"What I told you before..." Wu Guilan started, but before she could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaohao raised his hand to stop him.
"Mom, please stop talking about Su Yue. I will take care of it..."
Seeing Zhang Xiaohao say this, Wu Guilan nodded and said no more.
"Counting the days, dad's business trip should be almost over. When will he come back in the past few days? I will pick him up at the airport then." Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Your dad could have come back the day after tomorrow, but something temporarily delayed him. He needs to wait until the National Day holiday is over before he can come back." Wu Guilan said.
The mother and son chatted for a while, Zhang Xiaohao finished eating the fruit, and Wu Guilan left the study with the empty fruit plate.
When Zhang Xiaohao was alone in the study, he opened the drawer and took out a photo.
The woman in the photo has a graceful body, a smile like a flower, and exudes amazing charm. Zhang Xiaohao looked at the photo and was a little lost.
"Dad can't come back until after the National Day holiday. After he comes back, I will invite Su Yue to my house for dinner in his name. Su Yue will definitely not be able to refuse..."
Zhang Xiaohao looked at Su Yue's photo and murmured to himself.
After a while, Zhang Xiaohao put Su Yue's photo back into the drawer, and then picked up the unread documents. Only a few minutes after he started working, Zhang Xiaohao, unable to concentrate, threw the documents in his hands on the desk again.
"Huh..."
While taking a long breath, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Damn..."
After that incident, whenever Zhang Xiaohao calms down, he can't help but think of Lin Li and this guy who makes him extremely jealous.
"It's been several days. Why is there no news over there? Could it be that they took my money and didn't do anything?"
Zhang Xiaohao was a little irritable and muttered to himself, putting down and rubbing his hands. With his right hand between his eyebrows, he thought for a few seconds, then picked up the cell phone on the table and dialed the phone number he had previously contacted.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Dialed the call, and after a few seconds, the other party picked up the phone.
“Hello?”
A low voice came from the mobile phone. Zhang Xiaohao, who was originally a little agitated, calmed down immediately after hearing this emotionless voice and thinking that the other party was a very dangerous person.
"Hello, Mr. Xu." Zhang Xiaohao greeted the other party with a smile.
In the past few days, Mr. Xu has been having a headache due to the unknown enemy, and his thoughts have been spent on finding the unknown enemy.
Now that Zhang Xiaohao called, I remembered that what I had promised to the other party had not yet been completed.
"You made this call to ask how the matter you entrusted me with is going, right?" Mr. Xu asked.
"Yes." Zhang Xiaohao, who was eager to know how things went, went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"I have arranged for someone to do that, please wait patiently for a few more days." Mr. Xu said.
"Um...Okay, Mr. Xu, please inform me as soon as there is news." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
Actually, Zhang Xiaohao is not very satisfied with Xu Sanye's answer. After all, he has paid the money and it has been several days, but now there is no progress at all, but he can't express his dissatisfaction.
After all, the other party is a very difficult person to mess with. If it had been anyone else, Zhang Xiaohao would have reprimanded the other party aggressively even if the matter had not made any progress after receiving the money.
"Since I have received your money, I will definitely handle the matter you entrusted me with. I have other things to be busy with, so let's do this first." After Xu Sanye finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
The smile on Zhang Xiaohao's face was frozen, and his right hand holding the mobile phone kept exerting force, which showed that he was very angry now.
"Shit, you hung up on me. What the hell? You had this attitude after receiving the money. If I had known this, I would have..."
In the quiet study room, the sound kept ringing. Zhang Xiaohao roared incompetently and furiously.
Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of the study is very good, otherwise the housekeeping aunt at home would definitely be shocked.
.........
Under the leafy tree, Mr. Xu finished answering Zhang Xiaohao’s call and looked up at the white pigeon standing on the roof in the distance.
"Cuckoo Gu..."
The white pigeon had smart eyes. When it saw Mr. Xu finished the phone call, it immediately flapped its wings and flew up, landing on the grass in front of Mr. Xu.
"Is there any news?" Mr. Xu asked the white pigeon.
"Not yet." The white dove mouthed human words.
"Then why did you come to me?" Mr. Xu asked doubtfully.
"I just received a piece of gossip, related to the practitioner who used the white mist power. However, I cannot confirm the authenticity of this gossip. Do you want to listen?" White Pigeon asked.
"Stop being so secretive. No matter it's true or false, just tell me quickly!" Mr. Xu urged. Now he wants to know any information about the unknown enemy.
"Last night, the practitioner who used the white mist power appeared again." White Pigeon said.
"Um..." After hearing what his friend said, Mr. Xu said, "If you are talking about what happened in the city center last night, you don't need to tell me, I know it."
After all, what happened in the city center last night has been widely circulated on the Internet.
Not long after waking up this morning, Mr. Xu learned some of what happened at that time by watching short videos.
"The videos you mentioned taken by passers-by are all well known to everyone. No one knows what happened after that..." White Pigeon said with a smile.
Sanye Xu nodded, because there was no video of what happened next.
According to the video content at that time, it can be known that the practitioner who used the white mist power escaped.
"Do you know what happened next?" Mr. Xu asked.
"Yes." White Pigeon nodded, "According to the gossip I received, after the practitioner who used the white mist power escaped, he was quickly caught up by investigators from the Superpower Management Bureau. .
Then the two sides fought in a very remote place in the suburbs, and finally..."
Halfway through, the white pigeon suddenly stopped talking, which left Mr. Xu very speechless. , he asked his friend anxiously.
"What happened in the end, you tell me?"
White Pigeon said with a smile, "Do you still need to say it in the end? It must be the practitioner who used the white mist superpower and successfully obtained it from the Superpower Management Bureau. Escaped from investigators
If. That guy did not escape from the investigators of the Superpower Administration. The news broadcast this morning will definitely tell everyone that the guy was arrested."
"..." Mr. Xu listened to what his friend said. This gossip immediately fell silent.
"Cuckoo..." Seeing that Mr. Xu didn't speak, the white pigeon called a few times, and then combed its feathers.
"I don't think this rumor is reliable. It must be fake..." Mr. Xu, who had been thinking for a while, said to his friend.
"Why do you think this rumor is false?" The white pigeon stopped combing its feathers and asked Mr. Xu.
“From the videos circulating on the Internet, it can be judged that the investigator last night had a third-level preliminary level of cultivation.
The method of the practitioner who used the white mist power is unknown. If He pays some price from the beginning, and there is a certain probability that he can escape from the investigators in the early stage of the third stage.
If the two sides fight and fight for a while before escaping, I don't think that guy will. Can you escape successfully..." Mr. Xu analyzed.
"What you said makes sense." White Pigeon agreed after hearing what he said, but he asked again, "What if it is really as the gossip said?"
"Impossible. , Absolutely impossible... That's an investigator at the beginning of the third level!" Mr. Xu shook his head and said with great certainty.
“The practitioner who uses the white mist power will never have the strength to confront the third-stage preliminary investigator head-on.”
The white pigeon thought for a while and felt that he was indeed Whimsical.
It is not an easy task for a practitioner to break through to the third level.
If the practitioner who uses the white mist power has the strength to stand up to an early-stage third-stage investigator, his own cultivation level must also be at the third-stage level.
Since you have a third-level cultivation level and can directly kill the important personnel of the organization in Rongcheng, why waste time on attacking the minions under your opponent?
