Chapter 966 Undercurrent is surging!

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the study almost stagnated.

Lei Ling's face suddenly became extremely solemn. Although his aura was not released, the majestic aura that came from his high position for many years was subconsciously emanated from him. He immediately turned into the city lord who had ruled Cangshan Fairy City for hundreds of years.

"Friend Mu, are you serious? There is no room for error!"

Lei Ling's face was filled with an unbearable solemnity and seriousness, and he stared at Wei Hong with burning eyes.

Wei Hong showed no sign of surprise, but nodded calmly and said, "I am not lying. My pupil technique has never made any mistakes. I know this is a serious matter, and I dare not lie."

As a guest official of the Immortal City, he has the responsibility to help the Immortal City solve its problems.

Upon hearing this, Lei Ling looked at Wei Hong deeply, then took a deep breath, and his expression quickly returned to calm, which made Wei Hong secretly sigh that he was worthy of being a person who had been in a high position for many years and did not show his emotions on his face.

Before Lei Ling could continue to ask, Wei Hong immediately responded: "City Lord, I have captured three people alive, all of them are foundation-building cultivators of the Tan family. There are also three corpses, including the head of the Tan family, Tan Feng. The City Lord can immediately order people to search the souls of the three living people, and check the three corpses at the same time. We will know whether it is real or fake after checking."

Lei Ling seemed to understand something when he heard this, and a hint of shock immediately flashed in his eyes, but now was not the time to think about these things. The most important thing was to confirm that the Tan family was practicing magic and defecting to the enemy country.

So he immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Okay, thank you, Brother Mu. Please bring the three survivors here immediately. This city lord will search their souls personally."

This matter is extremely important and it really concerns the life and death of the Immortal City. Lei Ling cannot afford to be negligent in the slightest, especially before the truth is clear, he must have all the information in his own hands.

"Okay, those three people are outside the City Lord's Mansion. I had already ordered people to guard them before I came in. You can bring them over now!"

Wei Hong nodded and responded immediately.

Lei Ling brought Wei Hong directly to the meeting hall and ordered people to activate the ban to block the surroundings.

Soon, three members of the Tan family who were still unconscious were brought in front of them.

Wei Hong stretched out his hand and waved, and the three corpses were taken out and placed aside.

At this moment, Lei Ling and Wei Hong were the only two people in the entire conference hall.

Seeing the three unconscious members of the Tan family on the ground, a sharp light flashed in Lei Ling's eyes. He then stretched out his right hand and grabbed one of them in his hand, and with the other hand he grabbed the man's head without any hesitation.

It is obvious that Lei Ling wants to search the soul himself!
His spiritual consciousness, like the surging river water, directly and violently poured into the mind of the Tan clan member.

Wei Hongze waited quietly on the side without any anxiety.

A moment later, Lei Ling threw the cultivator in his hand directly to the ground with a gloomy face.

Wei Hong naturally knew that Lei Ling had seen what he wanted to see, and he felt a little relieved.

However, Lei Ling did not stop yet. He grabbed the other two and continued to search their souls.

A quarter of an hour later, Lei Ling slowly stopped.

His face was ashen, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were flashing with coldness, as if he was ready to devour someone.

"Okay, okay, the Chu State has extended its hands to our Immortal City. I don't know how many obstacles they have planted. Are they really bullying our Immortal City because there is no one there?" Lei Ling became furious, with endless anger and murderous intent appearing on his face.

After searching the souls of three members of the Tan family in succession, Lei Ling no longer needed to check the three bodies. He was completely certain that Wei Hong had not concealed anything and that the Tan family had indeed defected to the State of Chu.

He didn't expect that someone would plant a snare in his Cangshan Fairy City so quickly. Even a Jindan family like the Tan family had secretly defected there. He didn't know what kind of promises the demon sects in the Chu State had made.

The most important thing is, judging from the current situation, in the entire Cangshan Fairy City and its surrounding areas, there is definitely more than just the Tan family that has been secretly instigated to rebel, and there must be more forces that have not been discovered.

In this way, Cangshan Fairy City is like a sieve, and no one knows how many spies have infiltrated it.

Thinking of this, Lei Ling, who usually did not show his emotions, could not help but become extremely angry.

Wei Hong, who was standing beside him, immediately asked in a deep voice, "City Lord, is there any result? Which sect in Chu State is it from?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Ling took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and worries, and then replied solemnly, "Yes, it is just as you said. The entire Tan family had secretly defected to the State of Chu ten years ago, and secretly colluded with the Tiansha Sect of the State of Chu. The skills practiced by the Tan family were also sent by the Tiansha Sect."

The Tiansha Sect is one of the five top sects in the Chu State, and its strength is extraordinary.

Lei Ling could fully imagine that if they had not discovered the Tan family's rebellion, once the Chu State really invaded the Daye Dynasty, the Tan family could always cooperate with the Tiansha Sect from inside and outside, and then give Cangshan Immortal City a severe blow from behind.

If that time really comes, the Cangshan Fairy City might really be completely conquered by the Chu State's demon army.

Thinking of such a terrible result, Lei Ling hated the rebellious force of the Tan family even more.

Wei Hong's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately said nervously: "Tiansha Sect? Has the city lord found out who is responsible for contacting the Tan family? Are there other forces that have also been secretly instigated by the Tiansha Sect?"

"I can't find out!" Lei Ling's face was extremely gloomy. He frowned and said, "If it weren't for you, Brother Mu, who discovered this, maybe we wouldn't even know that the Tan family had rebelled. Other forces would naturally hide better!"

When it comes to this, Lei Ling's uneasiness becomes stronger.

This kind of nail hidden in the dark is actually the most worrying.

At this moment, Lei Ling seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately turned to look at Wei Hong, and then asked in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Mu, how is the Tan family now?"

Wei Hong no longer needed to hide anything. A cruel sneer appeared on his face, and then he replied, "To be honest with you, City Lord, I have completely wiped out the Tan family. Except for these three people in front of me, no one who stayed in the Tan family's ancestral home survived!"

"As a guest official of Xiancheng, since I have discovered that the Tan family has defected to the demonic sect of Chu, I must naturally eliminate the root of evil, lest the Tan family find out and flee!"

"What about the ancestor of the Tan family, Tan Guanlong?" Lei Ling asked immediately.

"Of course he couldn't have survived. No trace of his body remains!"

Wei Hong replied indifferently, as if he had just done something insignificant.

"you"

Although Lei Ling had expected this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he got the real answer. Then he asked with a surprised look on his face:
"Fellow Daoist Mu, are you saying that you have killed all the members of the Tan family, including Tan Guanlong, except for the three people in front of you, and that no one is left alive?"
