After parting ways with Qiangwei, Lin Yi hurried towards Gulan City.
While traveling to the destination in the open air, he practiced day and night.
While he was on the road, he also used the Sanfu Seal to check for news about Gulan City.
Lin Yi had a rough idea of this inaccessible city.
Rumor has it that there is a sect relic hidden in Gulan City, which is covered by formations and has not appeared in the world.
Therefore, many warriors went to Gulan City to hunt for treasures in order to find opportunities.
However, after so many years, no one has found the legendary sect ruins.
In this way, the rumors of the sect ruins in Gulan City have not yet been proven true or false.
A month later, he passed away quietly.
Under the scorching sun, a young man in golden robe appeared at the gate of Gulan City.
The yellow sand and dust did not slow down his footsteps, and the golden robe was dancing.
The golden crow mask covered his face, but it could not hide the rustling brilliance.
Lin Yi took a look at the city wall eroded by the wind and sand, as well as the hot and arid surroundings.
He wiped his sweat, and then looked at the sparsely populated city gate.
He briefly glanced at the harsh sunlight above his head.
After leveling his sight, he walked towards the city.
Go, first find an inn to stay.
This month has really exhausted him.
"Boy, do you understand the rules?"
The two mighty law enforcement guards guarding the door blocked his way with halberds crossed in their hands and said coldly.
When they meet strangers, they usually ask for entry fees.
"Look at this."
Lin Yi hooked his hands at the two of them and motioned for them to come forward.
At the same time, he took out a shining jade medal in his hand, which was the Three Fu Seal.
When the two law enforcement guards saw his contempt, they immediately became angry, but when they saw the three-fu seal in his hand, their expressions immediately became frightened.
The two big characters Zhuge on the Sanfu seal are like the eyes of a giant, releasing invisible power that makes people tremble with fear at just a glance.
This kind of uncanny power cannot be imitated.
"Sir, please calm down" Two law enforcement guards from the Grand Master realm were half kneeling on the ground.
They thought the person in front of them was an important figure in the Zhuge family.
Although there were not many warriors coming and going, there were roughly half a hundred people.
Seeing these two law enforcement guards who recognized money but not people, groveling, they immediately turned their attention to Lin Yi.
When they saw that Lin Yi's cultivation was not very strong and he did not have the strength to convince the two of them, they immediately knew that his identity was not simple and that he should be killed by someone from the upper echelons of the Yunqin Empire.
"Why are there so few people here?"
Lin Yi ignored the glances from around him in vain.
He looked inside the city and saw the cracked stone buildings inside.
After a cursory glance, there were not many people inside.
He lowered his eyes.
After pondering, he turned back and asked the two of them.
"Lord Qi, this is an abandoned city.
It's pretty good that there are people here."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was no blame in Lin Yi's tone.
After standing up, they responded respectfully.
"That's right.
If we hadn't been ordered to guard here, we wouldn't have stayed here."
The two of them agreed.

"You two are the only law enforcement guards here."
Lin Yi was slightly surprised when he heard what they said and asked.
"Your Excellency is wise."
The two said in unison.
"What are your names?"
Lin Yi didn't mind the small number of people and directly decided to use the two of them to handle the matter.
The cultivation level of these two people is at the level of a great master, so they can not only provide help, but also introduce things here to him.
"Little Sun Fuji."
"Little Sun Busan."
Lin Yi became cautious after hearing the two responses.
Rumor has it that Sun Shangyao is hiding here, and the two people in front of him are also named Sun.
This is a coincidence, or there is a connection.
"Have you ever heard of Sun Shangyao?"
Lin Yi's eyes were fixed, watching the expressions of the two people, he slowly opened his mouth and said something tentatively.
If they were related to Sun Shangyao, their expressions would definitely change subtly.
"I've heard of it, but I don't know it."
After the two looked at each other, one of them shook his head.
The person who spoke was the relatively calm Sun Buer.
"He is the one who abolished the Imperial Alliance."
Lin Yi noticed the subtle changes in their expressions and continued to speak in depth.
The two people were pretending to cover up, and they were clearly afraid of hiding something.
Lin Yi immediately knew that they were the key to finding Sun Shangyao, and he would not let go of the clues he finally found so easily.
"What do you want to do with him?"
Sun Buer wanted to find out the details of Lin Yi and answered.
"He is an old friend of mine, and I have something important to do with him."
Lin Yi sighed and spoke nonsense without hesitation.
Anyway, he was wearing a golden crow mask and his appearance could not be identified.
Even if he was said to be an old friend of Sun Shangyao, the two of them had no way of verifying it.
Lin Yi said this to make the two of them relax their vigilance.
If they knew that he was here to silence him, then the two of them would definitely not tell him any news.
"I'll give you two time to find him.
I'm going to find an inn to rest now, and I'll wait for news from you later.
If I don't get news from him, I will put your lives at risk."
After Lin Yi sighed, his expression turned cold, and he directly ordered the two of them to complete the matter in an unquestionable tone.
His last sentence was like an ultimatum.
If he didn't put on airs, he wouldn't scare the two of them.
Only by putting pressure on the two of them could he get the news as quickly as possible.
"As commanded."
The two men's bodies trembled, and Vino responded in one breath.
Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the city.
Anyway, his bait has been thrown out, and now he just needs to wait for the fish to bite.
It is conceivable that the two of them either really found Sun Shangyao for him, or they did not do so and took other actions.
"Damn boy, you dare to go to Gulan City to run wild.
He actually set a deadline for us.
It's really abominable."

Sun Busan looked at Lin Yi's back and spat contemptuously.
"Let's find the right time to kill this kid without anyone noticing.
Just like when we killed the two law enforcement guards, we must do it cleanly."
Sun Buer narrowed his eyes and said solemnly.
"Could he really be dad's old friend?"
Sun Busan hesitated.
"Impossible.
Dad wouldn't have such a weak old friend."
Sun Buer insisted.
Lin Yi didn't know what the two people were planning and had already entered an inn.
Longmenju, this is his final destination.
This is the inn closest to the city gate, almost two hundred meters away from the city gate.
The buildings made of rubble are unique.
Although they are in disrepair, they can still withstand the wind and sand outside.
Lin Yi knew at that time that the two were paying attention to where he was going, and deliberately moved into Longmen Residence under their prying eyes.
He revealed his traces by using himself as bait and fishing for big fish in the hope of unexpected harvest.
"Store, give me a secluded private room."
Lin Yi looked at the counter and saw a rickety old woman at the counter.
Seeing that the old woman was lowering her head to light a candle, he stepped forward and said something.
This Longmen residence is so close to the city gate, but there are no other guests.
The surrounding darkness is extremely weak, and there are no other people at all.
Lin Yi took a look at the tables and chairs and saw the thick layer of dust on them.
At that time, he wondered, could such an inn be suitable for living?
This inn seemed like it hadn't entertained guests for a long time.
"Sir, if you don't dislike the small shop, you can live here."
The old woman raised her head, and her semi-disfigured face appeared in the flickering light, coupled with an expressionless face, adding a bit of gloom.
Seeing that Lin Yi was not afraid, she walked out of the counter with an oil lamp in hand, lit the light in front, and led him to the second floor.
"Shopkeeper, your store is really secluded."
Lin Yi followed behind and spoke directly.
Every room here, no matter the upper or lower class, is first-class secluded, without being disturbed by others.
He glanced slightly, and when his eyes fell on the old woman, he raised his eyes slightly and realized that this old woman was also a warrior, but the aura on her body was not that strong.
At most, she was a ninth-level warrior.
"Thank you, sir."
The old woman walked to a door and opened it.
“How many years has the store been here?”
Lin Yi walked in and said casually.
"I don't remember, it was about thirty years ago."
The old woman responded.
"The store owner has heard of something?"
Lin Yi's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something.
With a wave of his hand, the oil lamp on the wall of the room lit up.
The layout of the house is simple, extremely simple.
Apart from a bed, there are only tables and chairs.
There is not even a teacup on the wooden table, which is clean.
Lin Yi glanced at it and looked away, thinking that this store was too suspicious and he didn't want to do business at all.

"What's up" The old woman said smoothly.
"There are rumors that Gulan City contains sect relics."
Lin Yi raised the corner of his mouth and asked in question.
"Of course I know.
This matter is not a secret.
Everyone nearby knows it."
The old woman chuckled, as if she heard something very familiar.
This matter has long been known to everyone.
Many warriors from other places come here to hunt for treasures.
Their arrival also prevented Gulan City from becoming a deserted city without a trace.
"Does the store know when this incident started to spread?"
Lin Yi saw the old woman purse her lips.
She seemed to be laughing at his ignorance.
He immediately chuckled and then spoke again.
The old woman's suppressed smile froze, and her face suddenly became calm.
"If the store doesn't say anything, then I will answer for the store.
Thirty years ago, news first came out that Gulan City contained sect relics."
Lin Yi holds the Three Fu Seal in his hand and is well aware of the news in the world.
He naturally knows the source of this rumor.
Thirty years ago, the news that Gulan City contained sect relics came from an inn in the city.
As for which inn it was, it was impossible to find out.
Lin Yi also heard from the old woman that she had been here for thirty years and felt that the time was so accurate, so he became suspicious.
He had reason to suspect that Longmenju was the inn where the news was spread.
"Someone deliberately released false news to lure warriors from all walks of life to hunt for treasures."
According to the information he received, the fact that the sect's relics were hidden in Gulan City was false news.
The source of this false news was the inn back then.
If that inn is Longmenju, then the person who released the false news is the old woman in front of him.
Lin Yi reasoned while narrating.
"Why did that person release false news?"
The old woman remained motionless and said sadly.
Even the oil cup in her hand could not block the cold sound.
It was indeed her who released the news back then.
"I'm not the mastermind behind the scenes, so how do I know her purpose of releasing false news?"
Lin Yi shrugged and asked.
Although he didn't know, he already had a guess in his mind.
Over the past thirty years, countless warriors have come to hunt for treasures, but many of them have disappeared inexplicably.
A large amount of evidence shows that something unexpected happened to them while they were staying in Gulan City.
They didn't find the sect's ruins, so they shouldn't have died while searching for the treasure.
But they did die, and apparently they were quietly wiped out.
The answer seems obvious as to who killed them.
Those who kill them are the ones who release false news.
"Who are you?"
The folds on the old woman's face were squeezed together, and she looked at him in shock, but through the golden crow mask, she could not see clearly what Lin Yi looked like.
"It happened to be someone passing by here.
The boy's name is so small that it's not worth mentioning."

Lin Yi answered her question casually.
"But, I do know who you are."
As Lin Yi spoke, all his psychic energy was ready to go off.
He was always paying attention to the changes in the old woman's aura to prevent her from making a sneak attack while she was not prepared.
"Who am I" A hint of murderous intent flashed in the old woman's eyes.
"The Abandoned Emperor Alliance ranks 92nd, the two-star Abandoned Emperor Jiang Heyue.
The Abandoned Emperor Alliance ranks 91st, Sun Shangyao, he is your fellow cultivator and husband, you and your wife are lurking in Gulan City together."
While Lin Yi was speaking, the golden light flashed in his hand, and in the brilliance, Jin Feng was held in his hand.
When he investigated Sun Shangyao, he discovered that he had a fellow nun.
And that woman is actually a member of the Abandoned Emperor Alliance At that time, Lin Yi checked out Jiang Heyue's information and took a cursory glance.
Surprisingly, Jiang Heyue's portrait can also be found in the three-fu seal.
In this way, Lin Yi roughly understood her appearance.
The old woman in front of her is very different from Jiang Heyue, but they all have a common symbol, which is the disfigured half of their faces, which is very easy to identify.
Lin Yi didn't care when he saw the old woman at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that she and Jiang Heyue are the same person.
As the saying goes, the husband sings and the wife follows, Jiang Heyue and Sun Shangyao appear here at the same time, which is very common sense.
Likewise, Lin Yi quickly figured everything out.
"You are quite well informed."
Jiang Heyue sneered.
She also knew that her portrait had long been in the hands of people from the Zhuge family, so she kept her name anonymous and hid in the dark Longmenju for thirty years.
She never expected that she would be recognized after hiding for so long.
"I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise you will regret it."
Lin Yi reminded her when he saw her momentum suddenly rising.
"Die, you brat.
You know too much."
The oil lamp in Jiang Heyue's hand was filled with flames, turning into a huge fire snake and blasting towards Lin Yi at close range, intending to explode him.
"Don't listen to advice."
Lin Yi raised his golden sword and cut out a golden sword shadow in his breath.
"boom."
"Pfft":
