Yang Jun brought Xiao Chen to Gu Yunfeng's palace. This was Xiao Chen's idea. Yang Jun originally wanted to arrange another palace for Xiao Chen, but since it was Xiao Chen's idea, he could only agree.
"Lord of Soulgate, Yunfeng has already joined Soulgate. He can be considered a brother of the Lord of Soulgate. Feel free to enter Yunfeng's palace." Yang Jun smiled politely, looking like a gentleman.
Xiao Chen nodded politely and smiled. "Thank you. Thank you."
"I won't disturb the Lord of Soulgate's rest. If you need anything, just tell the guards. Goodbye." Yang Jun smiled and was about to leave.
Xiao Chen quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Yang, please wait."
"Lord of Soulgate, is there anything else?" Yang Jun asked politely.
"I have something to ask you, but I don't know if I should." Xiao Chen smiled.
Yang Jun smiled and said, "Lord of Soulgate, please ask. What do you want to know? As long as I know, I will definitely tell you."
Xiao Chen asked seriously, "When did the Lord of Gu Cheng spread the news?"
"About half a year ago," Yang Jun replied with a serious expression.
"That is to say, half a year ago, nothing happened to Yunfeng. Half a year after the news spread, something happened to Yunfeng. This might have something to do with the City Lord's position," Xiao Chen said seriously. He was not worried about telling Yang Jun.
"Lord of Soulgate, are you saying that someone wants to take the City Lord's position and use the Young City Lord to threaten him?" Yang Jun frowned and guessed, looking shocked.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "That's right. If the Lord of Gu Cheng hadn't told me about the transfer, I wouldn't have known where to find Yunfeng. Now, I have a clue."
"The City Lord of Soulgate's words are not without reason. Indeed, the news of the succession has only been out for half a year, and something has happened to the Young City Lord. Could it be that someone really wants to take over the City Lord's position?" Yang Jun frowned.
What Xiao Chen didn't know was that his guess was right. Moreover, the culprit was right in front of him. If Xiao Chen knew and told Yang Jun so much, he would probably be angered to death.
"Don't spread this news to avoid alerting the enemy." Xiao Chen quickly said. He still didn't know who wanted to seize the City Lord's position. Xiao Chen didn't want to alarm the person who was playing tricks, lest he couldn't find anything.
"I will keep this matter a secret." Yang Jun nodded. Then, he asked, "Lord of Soulgate, who do you think it is?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue yet. I don't know much about the people of Ancient Heaven City. However, since this person dares to covet the City Lord's position, this person is definitely not simple. The guards of Ancient Heaven City can be ruled out. The three elders are old and can also be ruled out. You are the son of the Second Elder, so you don't want to be the City Lord. Only the young experts of Ancient Heaven City can threaten Yunfeng.
"Xiao Chen is indeed something else. I didn't expect him to be able to guess so many things from the succession of the throne. Interesting," Yang Jun thought to himself. He was not worried about Xiao Chen suspecting him or even investigating him.
"Young experts? There aren't many young experts in Ancient Heaven City. Other than the Young Lord, there are only four people in Ancient Heaven City, "Yang Jun said.
"Brother Yang, please tell me where these four people came from." Xiao Chen looked at Yang Jun. Only by knowing where they came from would he be able to find more clues.
Yang Jun said solemnly, "They are all independent cultivators. They joined Ancient Heaven City many years ago. They are the Great Commander Zhang Shaoyun, Lin Ying, Lu Shui, and Zhao Qing."
"How strong are they?" Xiao Chen asked.
"The Great Commander is a mid-stage Divine Lord. His cultivation is even stronger than the Great Elder's. As for the other three, they are all early-stage Divine Lords. I'm not too sure," Yang Jun said patiently.
After a pause, Yang Jun frowned and asked, "Lord of Soulgate, are you suspecting one of the four?"
"They are only suspects, but we can't be sure who they are. They could be people outside Ancient Heaven City," Xiao Chen said. Without evidence, Xiao Chen wouldn't say anything.
"Do you want me to investigate them? This concerns the survival of Ancient Heaven City. If someone really wants to take over the City Lord, we have to find them as soon as possible, "Yang Jun said, his face turning angry.
"Alright. Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Yang," Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Lord of Soulgate, don't worry. I won't alarm them. If there's nothing else, please rest. I'll take my leave first," Yang Jun said with a smile, cupped his fists, and left.
As soon as Yang Jun left, Xiao Chen condensed four clones and quickly entered the hall. He spread out his Divine Sense to investigate. Xiao Chen quickly locked onto the four powerful Divine Lord auras and sent his clones to investigate.
"If it was one of the four of them, then they would have definitely acted strangely. I'll observe them first before going to them one by one. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some useful information out of them," Xiao Chen muttered to himself. His clone was indeed observing the four of them.
Xiao Chen hesitated in the hall, guessing who was the most suspicious.
"Since you want to investigate, I'll let you. However, the show has just begun, so I have to help you. If it ends too early, it won't be fun. There are still five months. I'll slowly play with you. I'd like to see how smart you are," Yang Jun said coldly as he walked out of the hall.
Yang Jun didn't show his other side. No one knew that the gentlemanly gentleman on the surface was so sinister and vicious on the inside. Perhaps even his father, Yang Xiong Feng, didn't know that Yang Jun had such a vicious side.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye. Under the observation of the four doppelgangers, the Domain Chief and the other three did not do anything out of the ordinary. This made Xiao Chen secretly disappointed, and also made his investigation more difficult.
"The four of them didn't do anything strange. This is really strange. Could it be someone else? Yun Feng is the young master of Ancient Sky City. Although he doesn't like to cultivate, his strength is definitely not simple. At the very least, he's on the same level as Huang Xu. Zhang Shaoyun and Lin Ying are the most suspicious. The other two are probably just average, "Xiao Chen analyzed to himself.
"What a headache. I can't find anything," Xiao Chen said gloomily. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, causing him to feel even more depressed.
The next day, Xiao Chen took the initiative to go to the commander's palace when he could not find anything unusual.
"Domain Chief, the lord of Soulgate requests an audience," a guard ran in and reported respectfully.
"Xiao Chen?" Zhang Shaoyun was stunned. He was very surprised that Xiao Chen would come looking for him. He hurriedly said, "Quickly invite him in."
"Domain Chief, I'm sorry to disturb you," Xiao Chen entered the palace and smiled politely. He looked at Zhang Shaoyun and roughly sized him up.
"Lord of Soulgate, what are you talking about? There's no such thing as a disturbance. Lord of Soulgate, please take a seat." Zhang Shaoyun hurriedly stepped forward and happily smiled. He looked very forthright and quickly gestured for Xiao Chen to sit down.
Zhang Shaoyun was a man in his forties. He was tall and thin, and he could be considered handsome. His hair was tied up in a ponytail, and he gave off the air of a domain chief.
"I'm very surprised that the lord of Soulgate is looking for me. May I know what the lord of Soulgate is looking for?" Zhang Shaoyun was the first to speak. He was very curious as to why Xiao Chen was looking for him.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to know who Yun Feng has been in contact with in the past. I hope to find this person as soon as possible."
"The young city lord has been in contact with too many people. Take the Ancient Sky City for example. Almost everyone has been in contact with the young city lord. The young city lord likes to play and often drinks with those wandering cultivators in the Ancient Sky City. The young city lord doesn't care about trifles and won't cause trouble. So, I can't think of who it is," Zhang Shaoyun explained.
Xiao Chen nodded and then asked, "What do you think of this matter, Domain Chief? What do you think the person who went against Yun Feng is after? "
Hearing this, Zhang Shaoyun frowned and said, "It's not difficult to guess. It must be related to the position of the city lord. A similar thing happened dozens of years ago. Others may not know, but the city lord and the elders are well aware. It's just that they don't know who did it."
"Oh? So you've guessed it too. "Xiao Chen smiled and said.
Zhang Shaoyun nodded and said, "That's right. I just don't want to alert the enemy. Since the young city lord disappeared for a month, I've been secretly investigating, but I haven't found any clues."
"Does Domain Chief have anyone in mind?" Xiao Chen asked seriously.
Zhang Shaoyun shook his head and said, "No, I don't know who to suspect. The young city lord's cultivation is not weak, comparable to Domain Chief Lin Ying. It's not that easy to deal with the young city lord."
"Soulgate Lord, are you also investigating?" Zhang Shaoyun asked.
Xiao Chen said seriously, "That's right. If the person who went against Yun Feng was after the position of the city lord, then Yun Feng is at least still alive. Only Yun Feng can threaten the city lord."
After the two chatted for another quarter of an hour, Xiao Chen left to investigate the next person.
After talking with Zhang Shaoyun, Xiao Chen was sure that the person behind all this was not Zhang Shaoyun, but someone else.
However, Xiao Chen went to talk to Lin Ying, Lu Shui, and Zhao Ling, but he still didn't find anything useful. He couldn't find any useful clues at all. Just like that, an entire day's time was wasted.
"The four of them are not suspicious at all. Yang Jun's side also can't find anything. Moreover, on the day of Yun Feng's accident, no one left Ancient Sky City. Could it really be someone from outside Ancient Sky City? Or could it be an enemy of the city lord? "Xiao Chen muttered to himself in the main hall, his expression solemn.
Xiao Chen quickly denied his guess, muttering, "It can't be someone from outside. If it was a master from outside, I'm afraid no one in Ancient Sky City would accept the position of City Lord. No matter what, this person is still a member of Ancient Sky City."
After investigating for an entire day, he still couldn't find anything. This made Xiao Chen extremely depressed.
In a certain palace, Yang Jun was alone in his room, muttering to himself with a sneer, "A day has passed, and Xiao Chen still hasn't found anything. In a few more days, he'll probably leave with his tail between his legs."
Pausing for a moment, Yang Jun sneered, "However, Xiao Chen is still a big problem. I have to deal with him. I'll use that medicinal powder to deal with Xiao Chen. I'll seal his meridians without him knowing. However, I can't kill him. If I alert the people of Soulgate, I'll be in big trouble."
