Chapter 212 Yao Ting sent
Li Lan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and have fun. We will find out about this matter sooner or later."
Rather than witnessing the miracle moment with his own eyes, Li Lan still felt that traveling with An Yuan was more important.
The information about the Paradise of Innocence has concerned all the high-ranking officials in the ancient capital. It will definitely be tested tomorrow. It is just a matter of time before they know it.
……
There are several houses like this in the prosperous ancient capital.
Most of them are independent buildings in high-end residential areas, as well as single rooms in ordinary apartments, or warehouses and unfinished buildings in remote areas.
Housing information is registered under the names of all kinds of people, but without exception, there are few people living in them.
Hiding in the house where a rich man keeps his mistress, it will not arouse any suspicion.
At this time, Ling Xi, one of the high-ranking officials of the ancient capital, director of the Magic Association and elder of the Hunter Alliance, secretly appeared in such a property.
……
"Lord Saran, you summoned me."
The woman in the black robe hid in the shadows, revealing only a pair of silent eyes, staring at Ling Xi calmly.
Lingxi, or Saran, the identity of a cardinal is only one side of her revenge on the world.
She used to be Ye Chang, the wife of the Holy Son Wen Tai. With this identity, after Wen Tai died in the Holy City trial, Saran was able to mobilize Wen Tai's remaining forces.
Among Saran's subordinates, the low- to mid-range combat power is Hei Jiao Yan, while the high-end combat power is the remnants of Wen Tai.
Only the remnants of Wen Tai are her core subordinates whom she truly trusts.
"I need you to keep an eye on the Royal Guard Mage Corps. They will send out two pure white cards tonight. Go and get them back for me. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
"Yes."
The black-robed woman accepted the order and disappeared like a puff of smoke.
Ling Xi sneered, his eyes full of bloodthirstiness:
"Tonight, Lu Huan will send someone to send the two Pure Paradise qualification cards to the national conference for study."
"For something this important, I must be more than the only one eyeing it, but I will be the only one who succeeds."
"Everyone else will become a stepping stone on my road to revenge!"
"Paradise of Innocence... I hope you are really so mysterious and powerful, powerful enough to make the sanctimonious angels fall to earth!"
……
The next day.
An Yuan and Li Lan set off early.
According to the plan, they will visit the water park, aquarium, and cinema in turn, share a sumptuous meal in the evening, and finally indulge in pleasure in their dreams, ending a relaxing and enjoyable day.
But they had just entered the aquarium when they were disturbed by uninvited guests.
The two royal guards spread their wings of wind and landed in front of An Yuan and Li Lan in full view of everyone, causing passers-by to take photos crazily.
"Mr. An Yuan, Ms. Li Lan, I'm sorry to bother you. The chief wants to discuss something important with you."
The Royal Guard Mage looked anxious, "Please come with us as soon as possible, the situation is really urgent!"
Li Lan asked, "What happened?"
Today is the day for testing the exchange of life spans, and Lu Huan suddenly sent someone to invite them. Did something unexpected happen?
The life exchange was fake, and something happened to Zhou Min and Mu Bai; or have they discovered some shocking mechanism of the Pure Paradise?
The Royal Guard Mage looked around and said, "This... can't be said here, and we don't know exactly what happened."
Li Lan looked at An Yuan, somewhat helplessly, "It seems our trip is ruined again."
She hoped that the exchange of life spans was not wrong. An Yuan comforted her, "If you can't play today, you can play tomorrow. Let's go see what happened to Chief Lu first."
An Yuan was also somewhat confused.
Nothing concerning the Paradise of Innocence escaped his eyes, and in his intelligence network, Lu Huan did not encounter any major incidents.
If it has nothing to do with the Paradise of Innocence, could it be that Saran planned ahead of time and lured Sha Yuan here?
"Go and have a look."
……
When An Yuan and Li Lan arrived, more than twenty extraordinary mages had already arrived at the large square where the Royal Guard Mage Corps was stationed.
Just by using mental perception, you can find that they are all super-level!
An Yuan and Li Lan looked at each other, somewhat confused.
What happened that caused all the top-level wizards in the ancient capital to gather together?
"An Yuan, Li Lan, you are here."
Lu Huan waved his hand, asking all the royal guards to retreat, and motioned for the two men to come in front of him, facing more than twenty super-class mages with solemn expressions.
An Yuan asked, "Chief Lu, is there something wrong with the Undead Empire?"
Lu Huan's heavy expression relaxed slightly, and he smiled stiffly, "An Yuan, it's not that serious, it's just an accident."
"Last night, we secretly held a small meeting and exchanged two qualification cards, which we plan to send to the National Parliament."
"But the card was hijacked by a mysterious person. The team of royal guard mages I sent were all wiped out. Someone cleaned up the battlefield before I arrived, leaving no clues."
"Even Yao Ting has disappeared..."
An Yuan was stunned. "If I remember correctly, Yao Ting is the super-class space mage?"
The space-type super-class has extremely strong mobility. Even if An Yuan attacks, if he fails to break the opponent's defense in the first time, he will be able to escape in an instant.
Lu Huan nodded heavily, "Yao Ting's ability to protect his life is stronger than mine. I thought it would be safe for him to deliver the cards, but I didn't expect that he would be killed too."
"But in fact, the cards that Yao Ting escorted were fake. I just spread the false information. The real cards had already been secretly sent to the National Congress using a space teleportation array."
"I selected a team of royal guards who are good at defense and speed, just to cooperate with Yao Ting in fishing. With their combined strength, even if Han Ji and I join forces, it would be difficult to solve them in a short time. But they disappeared without even a single message."
"Only those present here know about the Paradise of Innocence, so the murderer is here."
Lu Huan's eyes turned cold, "Someone, for the sake of profit, disregarded friendship and justice, and killed his compatriots!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed and they looked at the people around them with suspicion.
The atmosphere suddenly became eerie and sinister.
An Yuan thought for two seconds and looked at Li Lan, "Chief Lu Huan, you are not doubting us too, are you?"
Lu Huan shook his head, "How could that be? You didn't attend yesterday's meeting, so you don't know about Yao Ting's escort of the card."
"This operation was originally a screening operation led by me. Zhou Min and Mu Bai's safety cannot be compromised. This operation can expose those with bad intentions, saving me the trouble of guarding against them getting killed."
“I just didn’t expect that even Yao Ting…I was the one who harmed them.”
"An Yuan, you are a very powerful spiritual mage, so please interrogate everyone and find out who murdered Yao Ting!"
Lu Huan bowed, "Please."
Is An Yuan a suspect?
Yes, but not much.
After the accident, Lu Huan used his own channels to investigate An Yuan, and learned from Zhu Meng about the distribution of An Yuan's power. He confirmed that neither the Leng family nor the strong men from Hangzhou City could appear in the ancient capital.
Zhu Meng also said that An Yuan's mental strength was extremely strong, and his mental magic was no less powerful than that of a super-class wizard.
All the super-class wizards at the scene are suspects, and the only one who has the ability to conduct a polygraph test is An Yuan!
