Chapter 264 Containment
Mu Yun calmed himself down, flew to a higher place, and looked down. There was a tall building in the center of the city.

Mu Yun flew over and quickly found the city lord's mansion. There were several guards standing in front of the door.

Mu Yun flew into the mansion. The courtyard was very spacious. Not far away were the main hall and some supporting buildings.

Mu Yun tried to look inside the building but failed as he couldn't see inside.

The door of the hall was open. Mu Yun tentatively moved forward, slowly approached, and then entered the hall.

There was no one in the main hall, the door to the side hall was closed, and two guards were standing at the door.

What's inside? Is the city lord inside?

Mu Yun was just thinking about it when a waiter came in from outside the main hall, leading a man in black to the side hall.

Mu Yun thought about it, slowly approached the man in black, and followed behind him.

The door opened and the man in black walked into the side hall. A middle-aged man in armor sat in the main seat, and a middle-aged scholar sat on the side.

The man in black stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Lord City Lord."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Your Excellency, the Wild Cult has been active recently, and I have already grasped the movements of some of its members."

"Okay, you've worked hard. Continue to observe and don't take any action yet."

"Yes, I resign from my humble position."

"Yeah." The middle-aged man responded, and the man in black walked out.

Mu Yun stopped there and the middle-aged man looked at the middle-aged scholar: "What do you think, Lord Gong?"

"To the city lord, there are many different kinds of wild religions, good and bad, and they have been banned for a long time but still persist.

If there is no obvious harm, it is generally ignored.

Some of them really go against the will of the court and openly incite rebellion, so we have to take care of them.”

"Well, what should we do now?"

"The city lord's top priority is public security and armaments. These civilian affairs can be controlled by means of diversion."

"What is the method of containment?"

"The development of unorthodox religions will inevitably lead to conflicts with orthodox religions, and the conflicts will be as fierce as fire and water.

We can use the power of folk orthodox religion to fight against these unorthodox religions."

"Oh, okay. I'll leave this matter to you, sir."

"Yes, sir." The middle-aged scholar responded, and the two continued to discuss other matters, all about money, food, and training.

Mu Yun listened for a long time but didn't get any further information.

Mu Yun thought about it, then slowly moved to a corner of the side hall, hid behind a pillar, recorded the screen, and then quickly returned to the agricultural greenhouse in the Beihuang Plain, where Sun Qian was sitting on a cushion.

Mu Yun was now a small ball of air, so Sun Qian naturally didn't notice it.

Mu Yun floated around Sun Qian, who was just reading a book.

Mu Yun smiled, flew to the side, cancelled his appearance, controlled the mecha to stand in the appropriate position, then cancelled the flying technique and teleportation, controlled the light column to cover the cushion on the ground, opened the hatch of the mecha, and walked down.

Sun Qian heard the voice and looked over: "You're back."

"Yeah." Mu Yun smiled, and Sun Qian stood up: "Let's go, it's time to eat again."

"Yes." Mu Yun responded, Sun Qian held Mu Yun's left hand, and the two disappeared, then appeared in the cafeteria.

In the next few days, Mu Yun treated the little girl and the boy's family in the afternoon, and then went to the side hall of the Ancheng Mansion.

According to the content of the city lord's conversation, there was nothing special to discover.

The little girl has recovered her health, and the boy's family can now go out to work in the fields.

That afternoon, Mu Yun arrived at the Cradle Star Desert and searched carefully, but still did not see the black cone. Mu Yun activated the Apparition skill, turned into a small ball of air, and swooped into the side hall of Ancheng Mansion.

The city lord was not there, so Mu Yun left the side hall and went outside.

Suddenly, Mu Yun spotted the man in black whom he had seen that day, flying out of the city with a few other men in black.

Mu Yun quickly followed, and the men in black stopped at the top of a mountain.

The man in black stretched out his hand and waved it. That was the telescopic technique.

There is a small village at the foot of the mountain, and there is a tea shed at the entrance of the village. The image in the black-clothed man’s telescope is of that tea shed.

Mu Yun activated his telescope and looked over. There were no customers in the teahouse. An old man with white hair and beard was sitting on a chair next to the tea stove, wearing ordinary clothes and cloth shoes.

Next to him was a young man in cloth trousers and a short jacket, adding firewood to the tea stove, and the teapot was steaming.

Suddenly, dozens of people in various clothes appeared not far from the tea stall.

The boy who was making tea stood up and looked at the group of people.

Everyone approached without saying a word. The young man who was making tea felt timid and took two steps back.

The old man sitting on the chair stood up and took two steps forward, smiling and greeting: "Dear guests, would you like some tea?"

None of the dozens of people responded. One of the middle-aged men smiled and punched the old man in the chest.

The old man had no time to dodge, spit out blood, and fell to the ground. The boy who made tea cried and supported the old man: "Grandpa, Grandpa."

The old man spat out another mouthful of blood, looked at those people, gasping for breath, and was obviously dying.

The middle-aged man who made the move frowned, and everyone looked at each other.

One of the young women stepped forward, fed a pill into the old man's mouth, then put her hand on the injured old man's chest, her palm emitting a light golden light.

The injured old man's distracted eyes now had a glimmer of light.

The young woman left a medicine bottle and said, "I'm sorry, we got the wrong person."

Dozens of people exchanged glances and disappeared.

The man in black stood there in a daze, muttering, "What's going on?"

"Sir, could this be a false accusation?" A man in black looked at the man in black.

"I don't know. Let's go back first."

"Yes." The man in black responded, and the man in black and a few others disappeared into the air.

Mu Yun was confused. What was going on?
Mu Yun recorded the screen and flew to the tea shed to watch. The young man who was making tea helped the old man sit on the chair with tears in his eyes.

"Grandpa, I'll ask the neighbor uncle to help pick you up."

"Yeah." The old man responded reluctantly, and the boy who made tea ran back to the village.

Mu Yun approached the old man and transformed some light beams, sinking them into the old man's body.

Ten minutes later, the tea-making boy and a middle-aged man drove a horse-drawn carriage over, helped the old man into the carriage, and returned to the village. Mu Yun followed them all the way and used a beam of light to treat the old man's injuries.

After another ten minutes, they arrived at a small courtyard. The boy who was making tea and the middle-aged man helped the old man into the house and lay him on the bed.

The house is simply furnished with some necessary daily necessities.

Mu Yun stayed for more than an hour, retracted the light beam, and returned to the agricultural greenhouse at the Beihuang Plain.

Mu Yun cancelled his appearance, stood back to his original position, cancelled his flying and teleportation skills, controlled the beam of light to cover the cushion on the ground, opened the hatch of the mecha, and walked down.

Sun Qian was not here. Mu Yun walked out of the agricultural greenhouse, returned to the bathroom room, and lay on the bed to rest.

What's going on? The man in black, who seemed to be in charge of Ancheng's public security, was investigating the Wild Cult.

Who were those dozens of people? The old man in the tea stall was injured innocently, and everyone recognized the wrong person. Is that it?
