Chapter 2516: The Hidden Truth? The Same Old Trick!
Chapter 2516: The Hidden Truth? The Same Old Trick!
It took Ling Tian half a day to finally come out first.
When he walked out of the villa, his face was solemn, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes. He was standing outside the villa looking around.
Noticing Ling Tian's expression, Jiujiu felt a flicker of curiosity. She got out of the car and walked over to him, asking, "What's wrong? Did you find any useful clues?"
Ling Tian shook his head upon hearing this: "No, almost everything useful inside has been destroyed. Haven't you seen it?"
"Yes, I did. I thought you could find more clues. It seems that you have no chance of going to this so-called Licheng. But this does not mean that the agreement between us is invalid, because I have told you everything I know."
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Ling Tian frowned even deeper. After being silent for almost a minute, he looked at Jiujiu and said, "I know you're very interested in Weicheng. I also know we have an agreement, but we originally agreed that you wanted me to find Licheng."
"So before I find Licheng, there's no need for me to take you to Weicheng. So you'd better think about how much you know about Licheng. Otherwise... we can only waste time here while I take the initiative to look for it myself."
As soon as these words came out, Jiujiu's expression changed, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes. "Are you kidding me?"
"Did I?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows. "Am I not telling the truth? Our original agreement was to find Licheng. You know, I came to the Holy Mountain just for Licheng. If I can't find all the remains of Licheng, I won't want to leave the Holy Mountain."
Ling Tian spoke softly while staring at Jiujiu, without a trace of nervousness or fear.
This is normal. Ling Tian has roughly confirmed that the location of the passage is in Licheng.
If he couldn't find Licheng, he wouldn't be able to get to the central city.
If I can't go to the central city, isn't it meaningless for me to stay here?
So at this moment, Ling Tian was already prepared for Jiujiu to become furious and kill himself.
However, after staring at Ling Tian for a moment, Jiujiu sighed and said in a calm voice, "Okay, I'll look for it for you, but you can't leave the Holy Mountain. If I find out that you've even taken a single step away from the Holy Mountain, I'll definitely catch up to you before you return to Weicheng!"
"Are you going to let me find it myself?" Ling Tian looked at Jiujiu and spoke.
"What else? You want me to follow you all the time? Anyway, I have confirmed that your target is Licheng. I believe you will not escape. I hope you will not let me down."
As soon as the words fell, before Ling Tian could speak, Jiujiu disappeared.
Ling Tian looked around, then raised his head to look at the scorching sun, with a solemn look in his eyes.
There is indeed no news about Licheng in the villa behind him, but... there are some books that need to be deciphered bit by bit to see if any useful clues can be found.
Now, Lin Qi and Du Yanhao were doing this. Ling Tian went out with the intention of asking Jiujiu to tell him more clues about Licheng. Who knew that she would just leave them behind and go away first?
Although this would indeed give Ling Tian some freedom, could the three of them really find the disappeared city?
Speaking of the decoration inside the villa, Ling Tian couldn't help but be surprised at first sight, because the decoration of the villa was exactly the same as the villa of the Lin family in Weicheng.
They are not similar, but exactly the same. Even the style of the sofa is no different.
Apart from the different books in the study, it seemed as if everything was copied by the Lin family, and there was not a single difference to be found.
This is why Ling Tian was surprised, and at the same time he was wondering whether there was some connection between Licheng and Weicheng.
If there really was one, Ling Tian knew that his plans would be disrupted. At that time, he would have to take Jiujiu back, and Weicheng would no longer be under his control, so he would no longer be able to continue searching for the whereabouts of the passage.
At this moment, Ling Tian suddenly felt that the difficulty of this journey to find the passage was unexpectedly beyond his expectation.
I thought that just like when I was in the county town, I only needed to work a little harder to find the passage and leave.
But now...it seems like everything is different.
call!
Ling Tian exhaled, and a feeling of fatigue surged into his heart. He felt that the difficulty of finding the central city was increasing rapidly, as if an invisible hand was blocking his progress.
Could it be that someone is really trying to stop me?
Don't let me find Licheng, don't let me find the whereabouts of the passage?
No way...
Although his realm is not low, it is not truly terrifying.
According to his current state of mind, he would be nothing more than cannon fodder in the central city and would not be able to cause any waves at all.
Therefore, it is unlikely that they would be stopped by someone. There is only one possibility, that is, the passage or Licheng was hidden by someone before, with the purpose of preventing others from discovering it and delaying the occurrence of a certain plan.
If this is true, then... everything makes sense. Perhaps the destruction of Licheng was also someone's delaying tactic.
After thinking about this, Ling Tian felt that this was more and more possible, so he turned around and returned to the villa. He came to the study on the second floor and found Lin Qi and Du Yanhao sitting on the floor flipping through books, both looking extremely serious.
Seeing this, Ling Tian patted the two on the shoulders and said, "Alright, stop looking. Anything useful might have been taken. From now on, we have to look for it ourselves."
Hearing this, the two looked up in confusion. Lin Qi looked at Ling Tian and said, "Brother, you said we should search on our own? What do you mean? Isn't there any clue here?"
"It's highly likely that there isn't one." Ling Tian shook his head. "If my guess is correct, Licheng was deliberately concealed by someone in order to prevent us from finding its location. So we can only look for it ourselves instead of wasting time here."
After hearing Ling Tian's words, Lin Qi and Du Yanhao looked at each other. Although they were a little confused, they slowly stood up.
Afterwards, they both put their things away and followed Ling Tian outside. Lin Qi was still puzzled and asked, "Brother, I really want to know why you think someone is hiding something from Licheng. Is that your guess?"
"Ah."
Ling Tian nodded and briefly explained his guess.
After listening, Lin Qi thought about it seriously and nodded: "Brother, there is indeed a possibility."
"Well, so from now on, we can only do it on our own. It's unlikely that we can find any useful clues over there, so I want to use the same routine we used in the county town!"
"Brother, what you mean is..." Lin Qi hesitated to speak, not daring to believe it.
Ling Tian smiled faintly: "Yes! I want to go to the other side of the mountain, again!"
