living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 340
The division of power in Nantang City is quite different from that in Clear Water City. There is only one cultivator family here.

The Lin family is the controller of Nantang City, and it was the head of the Lin family who was assassinated two days ago.

The head of the Lin family is a very interesting person. He is not greedy for power. He just spends all his time with the refining furnace and is a highly accomplished master of refining.

The Patriarch of the Lin family loves refining weapons, so the chief steward who looks a bit wretched is usually in charge of the family. This is why the warriors and monks are very obedient. In fact, the chief steward has been giving orders to the Lin family over the years.

The Patriarch of the Lin family died in his refining room at Chenshi two days ago, that is, in the early morning.

After such a big event happened, after the news leaked out, the entire city and county were heavily guarded, and the Lin family went door-to-door to check, making people terrified and afraid to go out.

It wasn't until Mu Lan and his group of "suspicious characters" appeared that there was an ambush scene in the inn.

He beat them down with his "fist", and after some talking, the suspicion was finally cleared. Finally, Mu Lan and the others stayed in this inn.

Because they are also comprehension forces in Dongji State, Mu Lan and other "friars" walking outside can be regarded as decent, and the big housekeeper still has a slight idea of ​​making friends, trying to unite with sect forces to encircle and suppress the Demon Cult.

Mu Lan is very interested in the Devil's Cult, but now she has to participate in the Immortal Sect's trial. Even though the big steward used a high amount of spiritual stones as a temptation, she still didn't think much of it, and the big steward couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing the warrior monks supporting each other and leaving the inn, Zhao Ziyu chuckled and said goodbye to the reluctant butler.

"The local snake Lin's family is still reasonable, but if they were replaced by Tianyin Pavilion, they might have a grudge." Zhao Ziyu laughed.

"It should be because our strength should not be underestimated." Gu Qingyuan said: "After all, these people are still busy catching the real murderer, so there is no need to waste time with us."

"Evil Cult."

Mu Lan was still thinking about the conversation between the butler and her just now, and her thoughts gradually drifted away.

"It's another massacre and the assassination of the patriarch. What are these people trying to do?" Zhao Ziyu was also a little depressed. The most common word in his ears these days was the word Demon Cult. Have never seen.

"It would be great if I could catch a member of the Demon Cult." Lin Yiyi said nonchalantly, then looked at Mu Lan who was frowning and thinking hard, and murmured, "Our Lan Lan has started to dig into the horns again. If she doesn't solve the truth, she will madly."

Mu Lan smiled and shook her head, "I'm not trying to get into trouble, I just think that any clues about the world of reincarnation are useful."

"What can I do if I know." Lin Yiyi curled her lips, "It has nothing to do with the trial of Xianzong."

"However, this is the closest we are to the Devil's Cult." Mu Lan said softly, "Just two days ago, if we had come here earlier, we might still have met."

The bright moonlight shines on the water, and the reflection is sparkling. Nantang City at night has a quiet atmosphere.

Mu Lan hid in the realm of nothingness, and gradually approached the Lin Mansion in the center of the city with Seggs.

Segas held Mu Lan's waist, jumped over the two-meter-high white wall and blue tiles, and arrived at the Lin Mansion's courtyard without making a single sound during the whole process.

The entire Lin Mansion was also brightly lit in the middle of the night, and there were guards holding torches everywhere.

After the assassination of the Patriarch, the Lin Manor's defenses became tighter. Every half an hour, a team of guards patrolled past.

But for Segas, all this was almost like being undefended, and the two of them just swaggered deep into the Lin Mansion.

From Mu Lan's point of view, the Lin family couldn't compare to Tianyin Pavilion. It was a big sect with a large protective formation, and it was still easily infiltrated by Seggs, let alone a comprehension family.

She sneaked into Lin's mansion now, just to find some clues. The Devil's Cult incident was very strange, and she couldn't hold back her desire to dig deep.

The Lin family has a great business and occupies the best area where the streams in the city pass. There are various connected roads, winding corridors, and layers of rockery rocks. People who are not familiar with the environment can easily get lost. However, with the help of spiritual perception, After searching in the courtyard, Mu Lan and Segus finally found the Lin family's weapon refining workshop.

Every room in the courtyard has a refining furnace, and one of them is guarded by many guards, which must be the room where the crime happened.

The butler also knew how to protect the scene of the crime. Mu Lan looked at the tightly closed door, thinking about how to get in.

"Don't even think about it. They can't see you either. Just break in."

Seggs' voice suddenly came from his heart. This method is simple and rude. It is estimated that the people present will see the door suddenly open as if they have seen a ghost, and Mu Lan is suddenly speechless.

Looking at the torch in the guard's hand, Mu Lan had a plan, and it was a good way to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

After two quarters of an hour passed, a group of guards suddenly discovered that the south of the Lin Mansion was full of flames.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

The fire spread in a wing room to the south, the Lin Mansion was suddenly full of voices, gongs sounded, and people everywhere were hurrying with buckets in hand.

Seggs and Mu Lan hurried back to the refining room, and the guards here were also mobilized. Taking advantage of their unprepared time, Mu Lan gently pushed open the door of the refining room.

The furnishings here are similar to the refining rooms of other sects. In the center of the room is a huge refining furnace surrounded by five elements and eight trigrams. The shelves are filled with materials and classics related to refining.

There was a conspicuous pool of blood on the ground. Two days later, the blood had dried up and the smell of blood had long since dissipated.

The Patriarch of the Lin family died here, in his well-guarded refining room. According to the butler's description, the situation at that time perfectly met the conditions of a "secret room", that is, there were no outsiders.

"There are no traces of battle here."

Mu Lan found that the room was very tidy, and the items were arranged in a random order. It didn't seem like a battle had happened.

The Patriarch of the Lin family was also a master of practice, so it was obviously unreasonable to be assassinated so casually. Mu Lan recalled the scene that happened in Yunfu Villa before, and thought to herself that it might be self-directed and acted again.

"Maybe it has something to do with the butler of the Lin family."

Seggs was rarely involved in Mu Lan's thinking, and he analyzed, "Two days have passed, maybe he dealt with the traces of the scene, and then passed it on to the Demon Cult to cover up his conspiracy."

"It makes sense, but he has no motive." Mu Lan thought about it: "The Lin family has a young patriarch, that is, an heir. Can a butler replace the patriarch?"

"Besides, don't you think the people assassinated by the Demon Cult follow a pattern?" Mu Lan added.

Seggs was the first to experience the rumors of the Devil's Cult. When Mu Lan said this, he immediately thought of something.

"Refiner."

Mu Lan nodded. It was true that all of them had something to do with refining. Among the people killed by the Demon Cult, there were refining masters, array mages, and the head of a family who was obsessed with refining.

Reminiscent of Fengling Temple in Nanfeng Mountain, it actually has a lot to do with refining equipment, where black iron related to refining equipment is abundant.

The two walked slowly towards those bookshelves and cabinets, and through mental power, Mu Lan searched one by one.

Afterwards, Mu Lan seemed to have seen something unusual, and walked towards a strange artifact.

This thing is the size of a person, and the two of them actually saw it when they entered the room, but at that time, their attention was mainly attracted by the blood stains, and after Mu Lan infiltrated these materials and objects with spiritual power, the complex structure of this weird artifact became clear. Make her curious again.

The appearance of this item is incompatible with the refining products of the Lingyin world. The whole body is made of black iron, and the interior is densely packed with exquisite gear structures. Some large gears are still exposed, and there are rune circuits inside that she cannot understand. Moreover, these circuits are extremely complicated, even more complicated than the circuits piled up by hundreds of talismans. The overall shape is like a large dark boiler, with a bit of fantasy punk style.

And the most important thing is that this item was destroyed. The second half was charred black, as if it had been melted and penetrated by high temperature, and some parts inside were missing.
