Hearing him say this, the ancient city lord said: "Send someone to the city to inquire!" Having said that, he walked out without saying anything else.
"Ask about something? What?" The people in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what he meant.
City Lord Jiang paused for a moment, then called someone over, gave them some instructions, and said to them, "You guys go and rest first!"
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, everyone nodded and walked out, only saying, "If you find out anything, remember to let us know."
On the other side, after Feng Jiu and the others arrived at the resting place, after the housekeeper left, Du Fan told Feng Jiu about the matter.
"That Wang Lao Hu is a member of an underground force in the city. That team didn't want to let things go peacefully, so we took advantage of their trick and let them capture us and took us to the underground force's location. This force mostly relies on strength to do evil, and many forces in the city don't dare to confront them head-on because this force has a Yuanying ancestor in charge. So after we found the underground force, when we saw that they didn't intend to stop, we abolished the Yuanying ancestor's strength and cultivation. Now, the strongest among this force is a peak Jindan cultivator, who is no longer strong enough to run rampant in this city."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu nodded: "Well, as long as the matter is handled." She glanced at Wang Yu and said, "You can leave!"
"Yes." Wang Yu responded and then retreated. He knew that he was not her subordinate after all, and she avoided him in many things.
Feng Jiu motioned Du Fan and the others to sit down, then asked, "Did you find anything in the books I asked you to look through?" As she asked, she played with the soft white fur of the little fox lying on her lap.
"I was just thinking of finding a time to report this to my master." Du Fan smiled and said, "I did find some information in the ancient city lord's library. It was recorded that there is indeed a Qilin beast in Qilin Mountain. It is the contracted beast of the monarch of this world back then. It is not much different from what the ancient city lord said."
"However, the information about the battle between the two monarchs was erased, and the other monarch is unknown. I searched through all the ancient books in the library but couldn't find any relevant information. However, there is a poem that I think may be the hiding place of the ancient Qilin. Moreover, it seems that it was destined that the master would come here."
"Oh? What poem?" Fengjiu asked curiously.
"It was written by a monk who was good at astronomy. The broken ancient book recorded a poem like this: The ancient Qilin beast lived in a lava cave, sleeping for ten thousand years, and will eventually wake up. And at the end of this five-character poem, there are these words: The strange star moves, and the Phoenix Lord appears."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu was slightly surprised: "The world is really full of wonders, and her abilities are extraordinary." Who would have thought that she would appear at this time? And even meet the ancient Qilin beast here? I can only say that the person who predicts destiny is too powerful.
Du Fan nodded and said, "It's just that I didn't see any lava caves on Qilin Mountain on the map. I also asked the ancient city lord about it, but he didn't seem to have seen the poem and the words I had read. He also said that there were no lava caves on Qilin Mountain either."
