Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Everyone present was shocked when they saw this scene.

They never expected that the Yun people would suffer such severe injuries.

"What's going on here?"

Lord Liu had just arrived with his men and witnessed this scene.

Only Granny Qing glanced at Yun Ziren with a hint of disdain before continuing to speak to Lord Liu, "He just smelled a fragrance, and somehow he turned into this. Anyone who didn't know better would think there was something wrong with the fragrance. I'm so old and I'm perfectly fine, why is he pretending to be sick?"

Yun was speechless. What could he say? He could only watch helplessly.

"The fragrance... could it be..."

At this moment, the head guard looked at Cheng Yunmo.

When the group arrived at the location, they realized that without someone leading them there, they would never have known that so many corpses were hidden there.

Cheng Yunmo frowned. There was indeed a fragrance in the air, but it didn't smell like cosmetics. Instead, it smelled like fruits and vegetables. The fragrance was a bit too strong.

"Vegetables, is it true that if you eat those fragrant vegetables, you'll become like this? I saw those people selling vegetables on the street, and their vegetables all seemed to have an unusual fragrance." Ning Yatou said immediately after thinking of something.

Upon hearing this, Lord Liu's heart sank. If that were the case, it meant that some people who shouldn't have been there had definitely infiltrated the city.

These people are quite shrewd; they managed to create such a huge mess without the authorities receiving a single tip-off. It seems they've given them a considerable amount of benefits.

“Wait a minute, these strange things all seem to have happened after the emperor sent people over. Could this be related to the emperor?” Granny Qing asked.

There was no way around it; every time the emperor's men came to the city, all sorts of unexpected events would occur. Although this particular incident seemed to have nothing to do with the emperor, she couldn't help but suspect him.

The man with the character "Yun" had remained silent until now, when he followed along like an observer.

Hearing Granny Qing say that now, he glanced at her speechlessly.

"What Granny Qing is saying is utter nonsense!"

The person with the character "Yun" spoke.

Granny Qing glanced at him, but didn't seem angry at all. She just looked at him with some confusion, probably wanting to know what was going on.

"Such things have happened in the palace as well. I've heard about it in the court. It's said that some cultivators sell these things to ordinary people."

The words of the man with the character "Yun" greatly surprised Lord Liu.

"Do you think that the high number of ordinary people who died was just because there was a problem with the food in the barren mountains? You don't know that there is another thing going on."

To be honest, none of the people present knew.

Cheng Yunmo had mixed feelings. Originally, she wanted to find a way to resolve the situation in the desolate mountains as soon as possible, but because of her current strength, she was unable to control the mountains. Now that she heard about other reasons, she suddenly felt that the people in the city were also starting to worry about their safety.

"This is terrifying. They've been guarding this city every day, yet they haven't noticed a single clue."
