Linlong hurriedly rushed into the main hall. From the "Ka Ka" sounds he heard and the situation at the scene, he could conclude that Yu Yuan had escaped through the underground passage.
Linlong immediately walked out of the main hall and prepared to find someone to question. What made him depressed was that the people outside had actually scattered in all directions.
It was best to capture the Martial King Realm warrior because with his strength, he should be the most trusted by Yu Yuan. He should know how to open the mechanism and where Yu Yuan had escaped to.
However, what made Linlong helpless was that the Martial King Realm warrior had also escaped without a trace.
Fortunately, after searching for a while, Linlong found the person who was injured by him just now. Due to the injury, this person could not run far at all, so he was caught by Linlong.
This person naturally did not want to answer Linlong's question, but after Linlong cast a restriction, he immediately told him the truth.
Linlong immediately knew how to open the mechanism, but what made him helpless was that the inside was actually locked. He could use brute force to open it, but by the time he opened it, Yu Yuan would have already disappeared. It was simply a waste of effort.
It was best to directly go to the exit of the underground passage and block Yu Yuan.
The exit of the passage was outside the city, so Linlong directly used his Qi Wings to fly out of the city.
However, what made him helpless was that after guarding the exit for a while, he did not see Yu Yuan at all.
After thinking for a while, Linlong directly walked into the underground passage.
After walking for a while, he knew why he did not see Yu Yuan. This was because there were other exits in this underground passage, and Yu Yuan had obviously escaped from them.
Linlong knew that under the effect of the restriction, the warrior would not dare to lie to him. This situation should have occurred because the warrior did not know that there were other exits below.
Since Yu Yuan had disappeared, Linlong could directly kill his way to the Wenchang Sect. However, after thinking about it, Linlong gave up on this idea.
Because the Wenchang Sect was such a big sect, it would not be easy to deal with him if he directly killed his way there without knowing anything.
It was better to first provoke the Wenchang Sect, let the Wenchang Sect come out to deal with him, and then he would embarrass the Wenchang Sect.
Now, Linlong had thought of another method. Since he could not find the demon beast, he might as well deal with the major sects directly. After messing up the world, there was a chance that the experts behind them would come out. At that time, he might be able to get some information about the demon beast.
All of this was naturally Linlong's conjecture. However, he had no other choice.
Defeating Yu Yuan in Flowing Water City was undoubtedly a way to infuriate the Scholar Changzong.
Therefore, Lin Long knew that the Wenchangzong would come looking for trouble with him soon. Since that was the case, Lin Long might as well be thorough.
That was a case of a sparrow occupying a dove's nest, taking over Flowing Water City as his own. This would make the Wenchang Sect even angrier, and at that time, he would send even more powerful martial artists to deal with him.
After all, Flowing Water City belonged to the Wenchang Sect.
Linlong naturally couldn't really occupy the nest because he was only one person. How could he do that?
Of course, he could spend some time on it, but Linlong didn't have the time.
What he was doing now was very simple. He would remove the "Prosperous Water City" signboards on the main hall and the city gate, smash them into pieces in front of the people of Prosperous Water City, and then hang up his own signboard.
The plaque he hung had the words "Chu Xicheng" written on it.
After replacing the plaque, Linlong announced in front of everyone that he had taken over Flowing Water City.
Linlong said, "Everyone, Yu Yuan has been driven away by me. From today onwards, Flowing Water City will be called Chu Xicheng, and I, Lin Li, will be the City Lord …"
Such a thing completely shocked the people of Flowing Water City. Although they knew that something had happened in the City Lord's Mansion, they didn't expect it to be so big.
They didn't doubt Linlong's words, because the group of civil and military officials of Flowing Water City stood obediently behind Linlong, and none of them said anything different.
Although they were surprised, such a change didn't seem to have any effect on most of them, so they were just surprised.
Such a thing quickly spread to the other three big cities. When they heard that such a thing had happened, the people of the three big cities were naturally extremely surprised.
They knew that Prosperous Water City belonged to the Wenchang Sect. How could they just change the City Lord and the name of the city just like that?
"What exactly is Lin Li's background?"
The City Lords of the three big cities all asked their subordinates this question.
However, Linlong suddenly appeared, so how could anyone know who he was?
Therefore, these City Lords immediately sent people to Flowing Water City to inquire about the situation.
They were afraid that if they didn't figure it out, they would repeat the mistakes of Flowing Water City.
At this time, the Wenchang Sect, who was not far from Flowing Water City, also became nervous.
The Wenchang Sect's Sect Master gathered the elders and the stewards of the sect.
When these people arrived, everyone's eyes were focused on a middle-aged man who had his head lowered and had a dejected expression. This middle-aged man was Yu Yuan.
The Wenchang Sect's Sect Master, a man in his forties, said to Yu Yuan, "Yu Yuan, what exactly happened? Tell everyone clearly!"
"It's like this. I met a man named Lin Li in Flowing Water City. He has the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant in his hand. He said that he wanted to see you, Sect Master, but I don't even know his background. How could I agree just like that?"
"I made a condition, saying that as long as he handed over the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant, I would let him see you. I didn't expect him to immediately fall out with me."
"He didn't seem to have much strength. Who would have thought that when we fought, his strength had already reached the Martial King Realm. Furthermore, he has a strange Spiritual Fire. This Spiritual Fire looks like burning metal. It's extremely powerful and I'm not his match."
Yu Yuan said with a depressed expression.
At this time, someone could not help but ask, "City Lord Yu, you're no match for him, so why didn't you use the Four Swords of Origin Formation?"
"After knowing that I was no match for him, I immediately used the Four Swords of Origin Formation. I didn't expect him to be proficient in sword formations and see through the flaws of the sword formation at a glance. He easily destroyed the sword formation. When I saw that I was no match for him, I fled Flowing Water City with the thought that there was hope as long as there was life, there would be hope," Yu Yuan said.
"No way, how can the Four Swords of Origin Formation be so easy to break?"
"To think that the masters of the other two sects couldn't break it. How could Lin Li do it?"
For a moment, everyone could not help but say so.
They did not believe it at all.
"That's the truth," Yu Yuan said with a sad face.
At this time, an elder said, "Whether it's the truth or not, Flowing Water City has already been taken down by the other party, and the other party is only one person."
Some of them had rushed back without receiving any notice from their sects. The reason was that they knew that Flourishing Water City had been captured.
Such words made everyone at the scene silent for a while.
