After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

On the very night the demonic tide broke out, Aunt Xue sent people to follow it to the Xuanji Mine.

Unexpectedly, the demonic tide arrived suddenly, and after her people were discovered by the Taixu Immortal Soul, they were all slaughtered without exception.

Fortunately, she had previously valued Yun Qinghe highly, so she sent enough people over.

Ultimately, two people survived and brought back the intelligence.

"My men said that when they were stopped outside the mine before the demonic tide, they were the same familiar miners under Shen Zu, but after the demonic tide..."

Aunt Xue paused briefly before lowering her voice and saying, "Those who drove them away became celestial slaves from the ancient ruins."

"Um."

Mi Yuanzheng simply nodded slightly.

Aunt Xue became even more confused and continued, "And that night, my two men brought back new information!"

"Those ethereal immortal souls in the Mysterious Mine were all destroyed by the powerful spiritual energy unleashed by some colossal being!"

"However, one of them said it was a large snake, and the other said it was a giant tortoise..."

Mi Yuanzheng paused for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

"The Deer King".

Aunt Xue frowned and said, "Don't you understand? That night, it was Junlang from the Immortal Ancient Ruins who followed Shen Zujin to the mine, but now the mine is full of his men, while Boss Shen and his miners have disappeared..."

"So what if they're missing?"

At this moment, Mi Yuanzheng slowly spoke, "If their whereabouts are unknown, then they are dead."

Aunt Xue paused for a moment.

As the city lord, Mi Yuanzheng's reaction to the transformation of a major power in the city was surprisingly nonchalant.

Turning around, Mi Yuanzheng called to his servants and headed back to his residence.

Aunt Xue finally came to her senses and hurriedly followed, saying, "King Deer, the defensive formations of our Golden Deer City were all constructed by that old fat man, Shen Zu. His death is a considerable loss to our Golden Deer City!"

"Um."

Mi Yuanzheng simply nodded slightly.

Aunt Xue looked suspiciously at Mi Yuanzheng, whose expression remained indifferent, and whispered, "Could it be that the Deer King foresaw his current fate?"

"Aunt Xue."

At this moment, Mi Yuanzheng sighed helplessly: "Do you really think that someone who can establish connections with the General Headquarters has no tricks up their sleeve? That enormous creature your subordinate mentioned, which you couldn't tell was a giant snake or a giant tortoise, isn't that Lin Heng's trump card?"

"this……"

Aunt Xue pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

"Heh, that fat old man Shen Zu, after getting a little information, coveted the water spirit fairy beside Lin Heng and acted rashly without authorization. This is what he deserved."

Mi Yuanzheng chuckled softly.

These words sent a chill down Aunt Xue's spine.

It's important to know that Shen Zu wasn't the only one who had his eye on Lin Heng's celestial servants...

Seeing Aunt Xue's reaction, Mi Yuanzheng said meaningfully, "Aunt Xue, we've known each other for many years. I don't want the people who come to my city lord's mansion to pay taxes from Wangchen Academy to become people from those ancient ruins one day."

"I understand, King Deer."

Aunt Xue nodded repeatedly.

What she is grateful for now is that her actions have not yet fully unfolded.

However, Aunt Xue was still somewhat curious: "But King Deer, didn't we all agree before that the fairy servant beside Lin Heng might know the fairy in your dungeon and could perhaps help you find the Chaos Demon Lord's treasure?"

"Um."

Mi Yuanzheng nodded and said, "Although I have recently studied the Chaos Demon Lord's manual and have basically determined that the location of that treasure is in the west of Tian Shu Kingdom... I am still not very clear about the approximate location."

"So, we still need to interrogate those two celestial servants who are with Lin Heng?"

Aunt Xue asked cautiously.

"Grasp?"

Mi Yuanzheng smiled and shook his head. "Don't you know what happens to the immortal servants around him, Aunt Xue?"

"Yes……"

Aunt Xue knew that Mi Yuanzheng was referring to Shen Zu, who was currently missing.

"It's just a few questions, why resort to such an unfriendly method?"

Mi Yuanzheng's lips curled into a smile, and he changed the subject: "By the way, Aunt Xue, you said before that Shen Zu's whereabouts are unknown, and that our Golden Deer City's magic array will be affected?"

"Huh? Right..."

Aunt Xue hadn't reacted yet.

Mi Yuanzheng stroked his chin and said, "Boss Shen's Xuanji Mine has more defensive formations than the city walls... but why was it Lin Heng who came out of the mine the next day, instead of Shen Zu?"

"You mean... Lin Heng also knows magic arrays?"

Aunt Xue was surprised.

"Heh, don't forget what the General Headquarters' secret research is all about."

"yes!"

Aunt Xue slapped her thigh suddenly, "He has a connection with Elder Tian, ​​so he must know something about array construction!"

A magic array is a simplified form of a magic array.

If Lin Heng even knew a little about array construction, breaking Shen Zu's array would be a piece of cake.

"So, since young friend Lin Heng is proficient in magic arrays, why doesn't my City Lord's Mansion invite him to have an official title in my Golden Deer City?"

Mi Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It just so happens that his men have now occupied Boss Shen's Xuanji Mine, so I'll just approve the mine for him."

"So... King Deer, you're planning to win over Lin Heng?"

Aunt Xue suddenly realized.

But deep down, she still didn't quite understand.

Mi Yuanzheng's attempt to win over Lin Heng was simply to get closer to him and learn about the Chaos Demon Lord's treasures from the immortal servants around Lin Heng.

But if Lin Heng finds out about this treasure, won't he be envious?

"It should be said that this is only a temporary attempt to win them over."

Mi Yuanzheng paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Aunt Xue, I wonder if you've heard that Elder Tian left Golden Deer City on the very day the Demon Tide ended, the same day Lin Heng forcibly seized the Xuanji Mine?"

"Elder Tian is gone?"

Clearly, Aunt Xue is unaware of this yet.

"Um."

Mi Yuanzheng nodded and said, "After all, Elder Tian is also an elder of the General Administration Division. If word gets out that this matter of forcibly occupying the mine is related to his relatives, it will naturally affect his reputation."

"That's true." Aunt Xue nodded slowly.

The fact that they were able to abandon Lin Heng at this time also shows that their kinship was not very solid...

"By the way, Aunt Xue, do you remember my analysis just now that Lin Heng might have learned the array construction knowledge that the General Administration considers confidential through Elder Tian?"

Suddenly, Mi Yuanzheng looked at Aunt Xue with a smile.

"Confidential...I understand!"

Aunt Xue suddenly realized, "King Deer, you mean that dealing with Lin Heng doesn't require your personal intervention, but rather... through the laws of the Tian Shu Kingdom?"

"Hehe, I didn't say anything."

Mi Yuanzheng smiled and shook his head.

They had now arrived at the city lord's mansion. "I just think it's time to invite my young friend Lin Heng to visit my home."

"King of the Deer!"

At this moment, a servant came over and respectfully said to Mi Yuanzheng, "The Snow-Maned Lion Demon of Linxian City has been waiting inside for quite some time."

"Alright, Aunt Xue, go back and behave yourself."

Mi Yuanzheng waved to Aunt Xue beside him, then said to the servants, "Let's go, I should take care of my business here too..."
