God Destroying Pearl

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Song Yun found that most areas of the mansion were immersed in darkness, with only a few large rooms still having lights on.

In the darkness, Song Yun observed for a while and found that there was no one patrolling in the City Lord's Mansion.

This surprised him a little, because usually important places like the City Lord's Mansion would have guards patrolling regularly to ensure safety.

However, the current situation seems to indicate that the Wang and Liu families are so confident in their control over the City Lord's Mansion that they believe there is no need for additional patrols.

Taking advantage of the night, Song Yun began to search some rooms. He moved carefully to avoid making any noise.

Before long, he had checked more than a dozen rooms but found no valuable clues.

When Song Yun was about to walk to the next room, he suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from a lighted room, with a pleading tone in her voice: "Master Wang, please, let me go!"

Song Yun's brows were furrowed, and anger surged in his heart.

He quickly hid himself in the shadows beside the room, like a ghost in the night, silently.

He listened attentively, and the conversation in the room made his expression more solemn.

“Your city lord Yun Che has been imprisoned by my grandfather and his men. You’d better obey me. Otherwise, I will kill you immediately and send you down to accompany your sisters.” A man’s voice was heard in the room, with a threatening tone.

"Aren't you afraid that others will know? Aren't you afraid of incurring public anger?" the woman cried.

The man laughed and replied contemptuously: "This is none of your business. If it weren't for your good looks, I would have forced myself on you a long time ago. Don't force me to use force, whether you will or not."

After hearing these conversations, Song Yun already had a general idea in his mind.

The people in the City Lord's Mansion might have really been killed, and the City Lord Yun Che has been imprisoned, but it is still unknown where he is imprisoned.

The intermittent crying and clothes tearing sounds in the room made Song Yun angry, but he knew that now was not the time to take action.

If he takes action now, he will definitely be discovered, which will not only endanger his own safety but may also affect the entire exploration operation.

Song Yun suppressed the anger in his heart and cast his gaze towards a tall building in the distance, which was where the City Lord's Mansion held meetings.

The door of the hall was closed, but the faint light coming through the crack indicated that someone was moving around in the hall.

Song Yun glanced over and could vaguely see a figure walking in the hall.

Song Yun used his ability of spatial teleportation to quietly approach the meeting hall, then disappeared into the darkness nearby.

Then, Song Yun released his spiritual sense and slowly approached the door of the hall.

At this time, a man's heavy voice came from inside the door, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "That old fellow Yun Che still refuses to speak?"

Another person's voice sounded, with a hint of caution: "Shh, keep your voice down, be careful that the walls have ears."

Song Yun was shocked and his heart tightened, thinking he had been discovered.

His body was tense, ready to take action to deal with possible danger at any time.

However, at this time, the heavy voice sounded again, with a hint of confidence: "Don't worry, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion has been killed by our people except for the old man Yun Che. Now the City Lord's Mansion is full of our people, not to mention that I have arranged so many people to patrol outside, plus the protective restrictions of the City Lord's Mansion, even a fly flying in can be discovered."

Hearing this, Song Yun breathed a sigh of relief and continued to listen to the conversation in the room.

The sound continued to come from the room. Song Yun held his breath and listened carefully to every word.

Through their conversation, he gradually pieced together the truth of the whole incident.

These people from the Wang and Liu families have remained at the great perfection of foundation building for decades and are facing the crisis of running out of lifespan.

They urgently need to break through to the Jindan stage to prolong their lives.

They discovered a medicinal pill called "Xuanjin Pozhang Dan" that helped them break through the bottleneck of the Jindan period.

In order to collect the materials for refining this elixir, they spent more than ten years, and they were only missing the last key material, "Millennium Black Gold Grass".

By chance, they learned that Yuxu City Lord Yun Che had the last ingredient in his hands.

They tried to buy the Millennium Black Gold Grass from Yun Che, but Yun Che firmly disagreed.

Faced with the pressure of dwindling lifespans, they decided to take extreme measures.

They took advantage of an opportunity and drugged Yun Che. This drug prevented Yun Che from exerting his cultivation of the early stage of the Golden Core, and he was eventually subdued by them.

However, to their surprise, they did not find the Millennium Mysterious Gold Grass on Yun Che.

In desperation, they occupied the City Lord's Mansion and threatened Yun Che's family, forcing Yun Che to hand over the whereabouts of the Millennium Black Gold Grass, but Yun Che refused to reveal where the Millennium Black Gold Grass was hidden.

Song Yun was listening to the conversation in the room in the dark, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He wondered in his heart, why did Yuxu City Lord Yun Che prefer to risk his life rather than reveal the whereabouts of the "Millennium Black Gold Grass"?

Is there some hidden secret or unspeakable secret behind this?

At this moment, another voice came from the house: "I'll go check on that old guy again. If he still doesn't speak, then we'll go ask the people from Nether Valley."

Another voice responded, "Okay."

Afterwards, Song Yun heard footsteps gradually approaching the door. He immediately withdrew his spiritual sense and at the same time restrained his breath in the shadows to avoid being discovered by the person who was about to leave the room.

A round-faced old man with gray hair and wearing green clothes came out first. His face was serious and his eyes revealed a gloomy look.

Immediately afterwards, an old man of the same age, dressed in black, also walked out. Both of them had powerful auras, and they were both cultivators who had reached the great perfection stage of foundation building.

Based on their aura and appearance, Song Yun guessed that the two men should be Wang Delong's grandfather Wang Chengchang and Liu Haibo, the old man of the Liu family.

After Wang Chengchang walked out of the door, he did not use his spiritual sense, but just looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, the two of them entered a small room next to the meeting hall together.

Song Yun guessed that this small room was most likely where they imprisoned Yun Che.

Song Yun waited patiently in the dark, and time seemed to slow down particularly at this moment.

About a quarter of an hour later, the door of the small room next to the meeting hall was suddenly pushed open, and Wang Chengchang walked out with an angry face.

Following closely behind him was Liu Haibo, who also looked a little angry.

Wang Chengchang turned to Liu Haibo and said, "You don't know what's good for you. Let's go to the Nether Valley tomorrow and ask Youhuahu to search your soul."
