After the birthday banquet, the people from the Immortal Sect asked Mr. Yu what had happened recently in the mansion and in the city.

Ye Qingning, as the second daughter of the Yu family, was neither a fairy master who could kill evil spirits nor a girl. She should not have participated in discussions between the head of the family and others in the main hall.

But Ye Qingning just wanted to listen, simply because he wanted to see if there was any information that might be useful to him.

During the birthday banquet, she did look for the Taoist priest among the guests, but she didn't see anyone who looked like a Taoist priest.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, she also asked the only person she trusted, Luluo, to inquire indirectly with the maid in the second courtyard.

We also learned that the Taoist priest did not attend today's birthday banquet. To be precise, he left the Yu Mansion after posting the Yin-summoning talisman.

It is said that the second wife did invite the Taoist priest to stay as a guest in her house, but the Taoist priest left in a hurry.

Ye Qingning guessed that the Taoist priest must have run away early because he knew that the eldest daughter of the Yu family and the people from the immortal sect would return home on the day of the birthday banquet, otherwise he would have been caught in a trap.

Having lost this clue, she naturally had to inquire about other information.

Now is a good time. After all, she only knows that there are evil spirits causing trouble in the city, and she knows nothing else.

And her father in this secret realm also invited the city lord to discuss matters. Even if her father didn't know the reason why the evil spirits appeared, the old city lord might know something.

"Sister, you are not allowed to interfere in the matter of killing evil. Since I can't help, why don't you go back to your room and talk to mother?"

Before Ye Qingning could enter the main hall, he was stopped by Yu Tangtang.

Ye Qingning had expected her elder sister to do this. After all, the two of them had a deep grudge against each other and neither wanted to give the other an easy time.

Possessed by a sense of drama, he spoke arrogantly, "Who says I can't intervene and help? Butler Li's son died last night, and I was the one who rushed over in the middle of the night to take charge of the situation. What are you trying to do with me?"

"I'm not as powerful as my sister, and I can't deal with those evil spirits, but last night the servant who was responsible for guarding the gate of my yard disappeared for no reason. There are some things that only I know. My sister is driving me away now. Don't you want to know what the servant said before he disappeared?"

Yu Tangtang was choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She originally suspected that her sister was a disciple under assessment, but now, regardless of whether this person was a disciple under assessment or not, she was a little annoyed.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Yun family. In the past, who would dare to speak to her like this except that idiot Su Ruoxi?

Speaking of that idiot, we have to talk about the fact that he sold the Phantom Tail Pen to her at a low price.

If that idiot had kept the talisman pen, it could still be used in this assessment. Without the talisman pen and without the talisman on him, if he were to draw the identity of a cultivator, how would the eldest daughter of the Su family win the assessment?

The second young lady of the Yu family doesn't behave like that stupid Su Ruoxi, at least she hasn't noticed anything unusual yet.

Even if her younger sister wanted to participate in the discussion, it was probably because she was dissatisfied with her elder sister.

But whether this boy is a servant or not is none of her business. Her hidden identity is a demon, and she doesn’t care whether it is evil or not. She just wants to snatch other people’s identity cards to gain points.

It would be best if she could meet Ye Qingning.

Unfortunately, the sickly man really had a last gasp for breath and no longer walked with a sick look like before.

Otherwise, she would be able to recognize the sickly and half-dead person at a glance.

In short, don't let her meet him, otherwise she will definitely eliminate Ye Qingning!

"Since the Second Miss knows the situation in the mansion, let's come in and discuss the matter together." The person who spoke was Bai Wei.

As the second senior sister in the group, Bai Wei said this, so Yun Mengyao, who was carrying the identity of Yu Tangtang, naturally didn't say anything else.

Mr. Yu doted on his daughters, but he didn't think his second daughter couldn't participate in meetings.

He was drunk and passed out last night, and he also heard about what happened to the housekeeper's son. His good daughter has indeed grown up.

After everyone took their seats, the old city lord was the first to speak: "I'm ashamed to say this, but since ten days ago, an evil spirit has been wreaking havoc in the city. In just a few days, nearly a hundred people have met with misfortune. As the lord of a city, I'm helpless to stop the evil spirits from appearing so frequently."

"During this period, we did ask masters to come and capture the evil spirits, but the evil spirits in this city are extraordinary, and there are more than one. To this day, they have not been eradicated."

"Fortunately, the immortal masters have arrived today. I'll have to trouble you all to take care of everything. I would like to thank you all in advance!"

The old city lord stood up and was about to salute, but the male swordsman sitting nearby raised his hand to stop him: "Old city lord, there is no need for formalities. We are here under the order of the sect to slay the evil, and we must do our utmost."

Earlier, when the group was greeting each other, Ye Qingning had already learned that the male swordsman was their senior brother.

Coupled with the very official words just now and the tone of speech, she could almost conclude that this person was Shen Xuanli.

The chief disciple is also a social animal worker in the secret realm and has to act along.

"That's good, that's good. However, this evil spirit is truly powerful. Just last night, more than ten people were killed in the city. This time, the evil spirit actually killed everyone in an entire house and sucked their energy dry. I'm afraid its power has greatly increased now. Immortal Masters must be careful in dealing with it!"

The old city lord's tone was a little excited, but also a little worried and solemn.

Bai Wei, bearing the identity of the Second Senior Sister, knew that there must be something fishy about this matter, so she asked at the right time: "Has anything else happened in the city recently? Old City Lord, can you think of anything new or strange?"

Ye Qingning knew why Bai Wei asked this. Evil spirits must have a reason for causing trouble, including the Taoist priests posting the Yin Fu. Only by knowing the reason can we solve the problem from the root.

She also suspected that the reason for the evil spirit's chaos might be related to the secret treasure she was looking for.

If she was the one who designed the secret realm for the assessment, this secret treasure must be related to the evil spirit causing chaos.

Only those who find the key to the problem can get clues to the secret treasure.

It must be said that after participating in an assessment, Bai Wei's speech and behavior seemed very natural, and he handled things with ease. If her guess was correct, Bai Wei's points ranking might be ahead of her.

The old city lord fell into deep thought, and it was obvious that he was thinking about whether anything special had happened recently.

But apart from the killing of civilians, I can't think of anything new or strange that happened.

"It seems that there is nothing strange..."

The old city lord had just finished speaking when Master Yu slammed the table and said, "Yes! There is something new!"

"Just ten days ago, at the fourth watch of the first month, a loud noise was heard outside the city. When Yu was awakened, he felt the ground shaking, as if there had been an earthquake outside the city. But the shaking soon stopped."

"What's strange is that after daybreak, I heard someone went outside the city to investigate, but they found nothing unusual. They also don't know the cause of the noise and vibration that night."

"Later, evil spirits began to wreak havoc in the city, and this strange incident was naturally forgotten."

"Yes, I remember now! It was indeed such an incident. I usually sleep soundly, but that night I was awakened by the sudden noise and vibration."

"I sent someone to check, and they found nothing unusual."

"However, the evil spirits have been causing trouble in the city these past few days, so many people have gone to stay in the farms outside the city. It's said that someone was wandering around at night and saw ghostly fire coming out of the ground in the back mountain. They were so scared that they drove back to the city overnight."

"Now that I think about it, could these unusual movements be related to the appearance of evil spirits?!"

Ye Qingning narrowed his eyes and suddenly understood something.

I want to tell the truth about this old city lord.

This unusual movement is not only related to the appearance of evil spirits, but also to the secret treasure Nine Revolutions Yin-Yang Bottle!
