Chapter 1058: Chapter 1078: Shut Up! What Are You Talking About?_1

"What do we do now? Do we go back to Tianyuan City?"

Yelü Yuan shouted, "Go back, of course! Otherwise, people will think that we’ve done something wrong and framed the City Lord, putting the blame on us."

Gao Yi agreed, "Indeed, no matter where we go, we must clarify this matter."

As the leaders of the King Kong Bandit Gang, Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi didn’t actually care about being misunderstood. Even such misunderstandings would enhance their reputation, but now that they were with Lin Chen, they began to subconsciously care about their reputation.

They were not concerned about their own reputation, but about Lin Chen’s reputation.

After all, Lin Chen was the Human Emperor!

Even though Yelü Yuan was the Bandit King, he was very clear about the significance of the Human Emperor to the entire Human Clan.

Every time the Human Emperor appeared, the Human Clan would often face a life or death crisis, and the Human Emperor would often be the person to solve the crisis.

Lin Chen worriedly said, "If Luo Yuan as the City Lord is a member of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, what about the other Deputy City Lords?"

Gao Yi thought for a moment, "To be on the safe side, we don’t have to enter the city. We can just inform everyone about this."

"Alright!"

Gao Yi took out the Image Recording Stone, recorded the Array Formation below, and nodded, "We can destroy it now."

Yelü Yuan flew up to the mountain next to the canyon and punched down heavily.

The mountain collapsed, and countless boulders rolled down from the sky, smashing into the Array Formation, scattering it into pieces and dimming its radiance.

Mud and stones followed, burying the entire valley, and the Array Formation disappeared under the rubble.

The three of them returned to Tianyuan City. Yelü Yuan stood in the air above the city gate and shouted loudly, "The City Lord of Tianyuan City, Luo Yuan, and the Master Refiner Xu Xianxiang are both remnants of the ancient evil sect, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. Xu Xianxiang lured Deputy City Lord Zhang Zhongyan into refining magical treasures, and used the process to refine 500 innocent young girls into blood beads!"

"Now that Zhang Zhongyan has been executed, Luo Yuan and Xu Xianxiang have colluded to assassinate the Human Emperor. Luo Yuan’s right arm was severed by him, and they both fled together ..."

Before Yelü Yuan could finish speaking, three figures instantly arrived, it was the three Deputy City Lords.

"Hold on! What are you talking about?"

Yelü Yuan’s words had already spread throughout Tianyuan City like thunder. He did not need to continue speaking, and so he smirked and scanned the three Deputy City Lords with his gaze.

"The honorable City Lord of Tianyuan City is actually a remnant of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. Together with Master Refiner Xu Xianxiang, they tried to recruit Deputy City Lord Zhang Zhongyan into their ranks. Now, I’m quite suspicious of the three of you. I wonder if any of you are also disciples of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?"

The expressions of the three Deputy City Lords changed greatly, and their gazes simultaneously fell on Lin Chen. "Mr. Lin, is what he said true?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "It’s true."

Lin Chen recounted everything that had happened, and the faces of the three Deputy City Lords became quite ugly. They glanced at each other, and their eyes subconsciously became more alert.

Ancient Evil Sect, Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect!

The Refining Path!

Refining people into blood beads, using them to enhance strength or refine elixirs and weapons!

Such evil deeds were happening right under their noses, and it was actually the City Lord!

Gao Yi showed them the Shadow Image of the Array Formation, and finally said, "All has been said, let’s go."

One of the Deputy City Lords asked, "Aren’t you going to enter Tianyuan City?"

Yelü Yuan said leisurely, "Even the City Lord is a member of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. I’m afraid this place is a den of thieves. Once we enter, we might be trapped inside and can’t escape. If I, a Bandit King, die, it’s not a big deal. However, the Human Emperor’s fate involves the entire Human Clan’s rise and fall, so we can’t let him take this risk. Therefore, we dare not enter this city."

The three Deputy City Lords were speechless for a moment.

People’s hearts could not be seen through their stomachs. They could not be sure now if the other two might also be disciples of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. With the City Lord doing such things, how could they have the face to say more?

Lin Chen and the others turned around and left swiftly. No matter how big of a reaction the thunderous voice of Yelü Yuan had caused, it was no longer their concern.

All they needed to do was expose Luo Yuan and Xu Xianxiang’s identities and spread the news.

Although they didn’t capture the two of them or uncover other higher-ranking members of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, they at least confirmed the existence of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect and had a rough idea of their numbers and composition.

"We can’t enter Tianyuan City, so how do we gather information?"

Gao Yi smiled, "That’s not a problem. Snakes have their ways, and mice have their own paths. We mainly came to Tianyuan City to repair Lin Chen’s armor. Now we just need to find a place to cultivate in peace, and leave the investigation to me ..."

"Alright!"

In a secluded spot near Tianyuan City, the group found a quiet mountain cave.

Gao Yi and Yelü Yuan went out to gather information, while Lin Chen stayed behind to cultivate in peace, as he had just promoted to Deity Transformation and needed to consolidate and improve his cultivation.

Lin Chen sat down for half a month, and in that time, he thoroughly stabilized his realm.

Lin Chen took out the Spiritual Essence from his Spatial Ring. This was the war loot he had risked his life for in the Ancient Mining Field Underground Tomb – almost fifty pieces!

He could not use them before because of the bottleneck in his cultivation, but now in the Early-stage Divinity Transformation, they were just right!
