Chapter 40 What is that? Wei Xu's words were like a wake-up call, and Jiang Yu and the others finally turned their attention back to the city lord's wife, whom they had ignored for so long. Since they stepped into Lingdu City, they had never seen the true face of the city lord's wife. Because Wen Ren Huai said that she was unconscious, they had always forgotten about the city lord's wife and subconsciously ruled out the possibility that she was a traitor. After all, a person who was seriously injured and unconscious lying on the bed, no matter how hard she tried, she could not contact the evil demon and transport the people out of the city. But what if the city lord’s wife’s coma was fake? Jiang Yu was annoyed. Just now I was saying that City Lord Wenren was slow to react, but they didn't even react yesterday. "There are some inconsistencies." Yuan Heng suddenly said, "If it is really the wife of the city lord, then she doesn't need to send a letter for help to the Sun Moon Immortal Sect. Even if she needs to deal with the city lord and the people in the city, she can just ask for help from the surrounding small immortal sects to silence the people." "." That's true. If she was really the city lord's wife, she wouldn't have to ask for help from the Sun and Moon Immortal Sect and bring trouble upon herself.
Who is the traitor then? ! Fang He scratched his head. Who on earth would give up the peaceful and comfortable life in the city and instead collude with evil spirits, hurt his companions, and cause panic among the people? In the past twenty years, apart from figuring out who are the good guys and who are the bad guys, and who loves who and who doesn't, when has Jiang Yu ever used his brain so much? She just felt a headache. Fortunately, they were silent for a while before Wen Ren Huai came back. He walked in hurriedly and immediately turned around and closed the door. His face was grim: "The people from those two teams are gone." They disappeared out of thin air, without a trace, just like the people who had disappeared in the city before. Jiang Yu was not very surprised by this result, but she still inevitably frowned: "Did the other guards in the city not notice it?" "No." Wen Renhuai's face was heavy. "When I went to ask, I found out that two teams were missing." Isn't this too careless?! The evil demons outside the city were watching eagerly, and no one knew where the evil demons inside the city were hiding. At this critical moment, they didn't even know when people were missing. "Are you sure only these two teams are missing?" Jiang Yu asked suspiciously. Wen Renhuai walked step by step to his seat and sat down. He raised his head and drank half a glass of water as a way of taking a breath. When he heard Jiang Yu's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized what Jiang Yu was worried about. "Confirmed. I have just asked them to count the number of people again." Jiang Yu nodded and asked, "Do you know when he disappeared?" Wen Ren Huai didn't say anything. He just looked at Jiang Yu and shook his head. All his meanings were implied. This was even more difficult. Not knowing when the person disappeared meant they couldn't roughly estimate how many evil demons had entered Lingdu City. Perhaps there are far more evil spirits lurking in this city than they imagined. Jiang Yu and his companions looked solemn. · By the afternoon, when the sun was at its highest, there were hardly any people to be seen near the city wall. Jiang Yu and Yuan Heng went straight up to the city wall, stared at the dazzling sun, squinted their eyes slightly and looked into the distance, trying to find out where the evil demon was hiding. They had just been to the small door that Jun Mo mentioned last night. Confirming that the location was indeed hidden, they went in and out through the small door. Sang Yang and Fang He, who were standing on the roof not far away, could not see them at all until they walked out of the path.
They did find the formation that Wen Ren Huai mentioned, but it had been modified and had lost all its function. It had no effect on the evil spirits at all. There are too many loopholes. The patrol teams are missing, people can enter and exit the small door at will, the formation is malfunctioning and there are traitors and evil spirits hiding somewhere, it's impossible for Lingdu City not to be in chaos. "Didn't City Lord Wenren notice anything?" Jiang Yu looked at the forest in the distance and sighed faintly, "Didn't he know any clues about the traitor?" She knew that she shouldn't doubt such a city lord who was so dedicated to serving the people. She even dared to say that if she told the people in the city that she doubted City Lord Wenren, the people in the city would be the first to throw rotten eggs on their heads and drive them out of Lingdu directly. And she still couldn't think of any reason why City Lord Wenren would collude with the evil demon. "Forget it." She sighed irritably because her head hurt from thinking about it. "Let's see if Sang Yang and the others can get anything out of it." Anyway, even if they couldn't find the traitor, they couldn't wait in the city any longer. The people in the city can wait, but those who were taken captive cannot. She would take action tonight. She stared into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking. Her expression relaxed, and even her tightly furrowed brows loosened. Before Yuan Heng could say all the words of comfort he had prepared, she had already comforted herself. Yuan Heng glanced at her and couldn't help laughing. A smile appeared in his eyes: "Master Wei went to check on Miss Qin again?" Jiang Yu hummed, "He said that Qin Yin was one of the few people who knew the formation, and she was also the confidant of the city lord's wife, so she must know something. He was unwilling to give up, so he went again. I also--" Jiang Yu paused, squinted his eyes and leaned forward, holding the city wall with both hands, looked carefully for a while, and suddenly pointed in the distance, "What is that?"
