The entire Drifting Cloud City fell into a bewildered atmosphere. Feng Hao and Le Huang had already successfully returned to the inn. As for the subsequent trade fair, they naturally weren't in the mood to watch it.
As soon as they returned to the inn, the three of them immediately gathered together to discuss. Their identities had already been exposed, and they still didn't know who the other party was. However, the other party knew who they were, which was the most troublesome point.
The enemies on the surface weren't the most frightening. The most frightening ones were those hidden in the shadows.
Feng Hao felt that this matter was strange, because the mysterious person's target was the pair of twin cultivators, and not them.
"You're saying that their master, the Symbiotic Sovereign, is from the Immortals?" Fenghao also raised his head slightly and asked. After this period of understanding, he finally knew that the person who had exchanged blows with him earlier was the disciple of an old monster. It was no wonder that he possessed such a cultivation at such a young age. If it was someone else, it would be impossible for them to do so without someone backing them up.
"Yes. According to what I know, the Symbiotic Sovereign joined the Immortals a thousand years ago. The pair of twin cultivators are indeed the Symbiotic Sovereign's disciples." Le Huang shrugged his shoulders. The current situation had become so confusing that even he couldn't see through it.
"That's a little strange. Logically speaking, the Symbiotic Sovereign's origin is shocking. Even if he joined the Immortals' organisation, his position wouldn't be that low. It's impossible for his disciple to be a sacrifice." Feng Hao hesitated for a moment. According to this theory, the one who attacked the pair of twin cultivators wasn't from the Immortals. Le Huang and Nangong Wuji were stunned.
Hearing this, Le Huang and Nangong Wuji were startled. Everything had happened so suddenly that they hadn't thought about it. Now that they thought about it, they felt that it made sense. If the attackers were Immortals, they wouldn't have used the twin cultivators as sacrifices. Moreover, the Immortals had already fallen out with the two hegemonic powers. Even if they successfully killed them and framed Fenghao, it would only bring trouble to Fenghao.
"You're saying that the one who attacked them wasn't part of the Immortals' plan?" Le Huang hesitated for a moment. She felt that this theory was a little vague.
"I'm just guessing." Feng Hao also shook his head and said, "After today's matter spreads out, there will definitely be some people who know about it, including Immortals and some fellows who are hiding in the dark. I feel that the following days will not be peaceful."
Hearing Fenghao's words, Le Huang scratched the back of his head in vexation and sighed, "That's right. In particular, those two fellows seem to be related to the Drifting Cloud City's Deputy Commander. It'll take a lot of effort to deal with them."
"Vice Commander." Fenghao slightly hesitated for a moment. Soon after, he asked, "Have you seen him before?"
"No, I've only seen the City Lord of Drifting Cloud City. After all, I haven't become the Peak Master of Ling Xiao Peak, so there are many things that I don't understand." Le Huang shook her head and said, "I feel that we need to investigate the background of this Vice Commander. If he's really colluding with Immortals, then we must eliminate him as soon as possible."
By the side, Fenghao gently closed his eyes. After pondering for a while, he also opened his eyes and said, "Leave this matter to me. Do you have any way to obtain the residence of the deputy commander?"
"Isn't this too risky? Why don't we wait for me to report this to my father and have him send someone to help us?" Le Huang hesitated for a moment. She felt that this was a little too risky. If they acted rashly, they might even alert the enemy.
"Don't worry, I naturally have my ways." Feng Hao grinned and a mysterious smile rose from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say anything else.
What Fenghao didn't expect was that in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, the well-dressed woman said to the mysterious woman, "Tonight, make a trip to the Vice Commander's residence and see if you can get anything out of it. If it's possible, get rid of those two fellows. This will bring some trouble to the Vice Commander."
The mysterious woman pondered for a moment before she said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid that the Vice Commander will suspect you."
"It doesn't matter. I've long suspected him. I'm afraid that he also played a part in my sister's kidnapping." The well-dressed woman coldly snorted, "Don't think that I don't know that he has been coveting my position as the City Lord for a long time. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm the chief outer disciple of the Ling Xiao Peak, he would have long since plotted against me."
The mysterious woman sighed, "The Immortal's actions this time are obviously to blackmail you. Why don't you go and deal with Le Huang and the others? Moreover, they're in the Drifting Cloud City."
"No, the Immortal isn't blackmailing me. They just want to use me to get rid of Le Huang and the others." The well-dressed woman shook her head. She had seen through everything and calmly said, "The Immortal kidnapped my sister and used that to blackmail me. Once I agree to their request, the news of me helping them will definitely reach the ears of the Ling Xiao Peak through a certain channel. At that time, the people of the Ling Xiao Peak will definitely be furious and attack me.
"Once the Ling Xiao Peak attacks me, the Immortal will secretly let the Vice Commander take the position. This is killing two birds with one stone. Even the Ling Xiao Peak will not know that the Vice Commander is from the Immortal."
The well-dressed woman's calm analysis seemed to have revealed the current situation in the Drifting Cloud City. She glanced at the mysterious woman and said, "Wan 'er, if it wasn't for the fact that I have no other choice this time, I wouldn't have asked for your help."
"I understand. I'll make a trip tonight." The mysterious woman did not say anything else. She nodded and quietly left, leaving the well-dressed woman alone in the garden to sigh.
"Oh Immortal, you guys are scheming against me, but I'm also scheming against you."
After a long time, the well-dressed woman raised her head and looked at the gloomy sky. She vaguely felt that a storm was brewing, which made her feel exceptionally depressed.
After a period of time, Le Huang came to find Feng Hao again. He took out a map and handed it to Feng Hao. "I asked someone to find this. It records the locations of the Vice Commander's residence, as well as the mechanisms in the secret rooms."
When Fenghao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. If he had such a thing, then he would have more confidence in sneaking in at night.
"Don't go and kill anyone. See if you can get some valuable information. I want to see who else in the Drifting Cloud City is colluding with the Immortal. I'll use this opportunity to clean them all up in one go."
