Chapter 431 Doubts
  "I don't want to go to the city lord. It was the city lord who asked me to go find him."

Ji Wenbin's answer once again exceeded Lin Yu's expectations.

However, Lin Yu got an important clue from this answer.

That is, the city lord seems to be able to twist the will of others through some means, forcing others to act according to his requirements.

This is very important information!
  Thinking of this, Lin Yu thought quickly, and then asked: "What will be the consequences if I don't go?"

"He will kill me." Ji Wenbin said with a worried look.

"I see."

Lin Yu nodded slowly. He thought that the city lord had used some means to influence Ji Wenbin's will. It turned out that he was just threatening death.

Fortunately, I verified it, otherwise I would have misunderstood it.

"What were you investigating in Jinyu Tower just now? Why did you suddenly leave Jinyu Tower halfway through the investigation? Did you receive a request from the city lord to let you go at that time?"

Lin Yu continued to ask.

"I'm investigating a person named Lin Yu in Jinyu Tower. I want to confirm whether the Lin Shenzi who exchanged source crystals with Ji Wuchei is the Lin Yu I know."

"It was just as you thought. The city lord suddenly sent a message asking me to go to the city lord's mansion, so I had to put down what I was doing and go find him."

Ji Wenbin quickly replied.

After listening to his words, Lin Yu corresponded to the situation at that time and finally understood the cause and effect.

Then Lin Yu asked again: "Have you ever been to Haiyun City before, and have you encountered such a thing?"

"I come to Haiyun City often, but I have never received a message from the city lord." Ji Wenbin replied with a painful expression.

I don't know if it was because answering these questions would have dire consequences for him, or for some other reason.

However, Lin Yu had no time to think deeply about this at this time. He was wondering why the city lord asked Ji Wenbin to go to him at this point.

And why Ji Wenbin and not others.

If you ask Ji Wenbin these questions, you will definitely not get the answers, because it is impossible for the city lord to tell Ji Wenbin the reason.

Ji Wenbin was obviously not qualified to know this.

Lin Yu thought in his mind: "Not long after the city lord transmitted the message to Ji Wenbin, Jinyu Tower was attacked by Yang Jiuhe... Can this mean that the two incidents are related?"

"In other words, the city lord had been in seclusion before. It was Yang Jiuhe's arrival that made him come out. As soon as he came out, he noticed something strange about Ji Wenbin and asked him to go to the city lord's mansion?"

"If that's the case, then what's so special about Ji Wenbin?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Yu felt that he still had to look for clues in Ji Wenbin.

After all, whether Yang Jiuhe's attack on Jinyu Tower was related to the city lord or not, there was no way to guess the outcome by just guessing.

The city lord did not call others to come over, but he called Ji Wenbin over. This is a noteworthy point, and it is also a point that he can investigate at present.

"Ji Wuchei."

Lin Yu asked Ji Wuche in the magical space: "Let's analyze this matter with me and see why the Lord of Haiyun City wanted to take advantage of Ji Wenbin."

"it is good."

Ji Wuche could not disobey Lin Yu's request and could only agree.

Later, Lin Yu asked Ji Wenbin a few more questions, all of which were related to Ji Wenbin himself. The purpose was naturally to find out what made Ji Wenbin different from others.

However, after asking several questions in succession, Lin Yu couldn't figure out what was special about Ji Wenbin.

Ji Wuchei in the magical space was also completely confused and unable to give any useful suggestions.

"Forget it, let's think about this later. First, ask where my parents and family are." Time is running out now, and unpredictable changes can happen at any time. Lin Yu doesn't want to waste time on this matter.

Anyway, it is now certain that the Lord of Haiyun City is not Ji Wenbin's backer, so he will not interfere with his efforts to rescue his family from Ji Wenbin.

After all, to a top powerhouse like the Lord of Haiyun City, he and his parents and family are just transparent and not worth caring about.

"and many more……"

Just when Lin Yu was about to ask about the whereabouts of his parents and family, an idea suddenly flashed in his heart and he discovered something he had never noticed.

"Demon Realm!"

"Ji Wenbin spent some time in the Demon Realm, and the environment in the Demon Realm can cause changes in human flesh and blood!"

"This is what sets Ji Wenbin apart from others!"

It was precisely because he thought that his family was captured by Ji Wenbin in the Demon Realm that Lin Yu suddenly remembered that Ji Wenbin also stayed in the Demon Realm for a period of time.

At this moment, he discovered the problem.

"Although I have also been in the Demon Realm, my body has long been transformed by the secret source power, so the environment of the Demon Realm cannot have any impact on me."

"In this way, Ji Wenbin is really the only person in Haiyun City who has been affected by the demonic environment, causing changes in his flesh and blood!"

Lin Yu's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

But it was not enough to understand this. It did not allow him to know the motives of the city lord.

So the excitement in his heart soon faded away, and his attention returned to the whereabouts of his parents and family.

"You just said that you were investigating a man named Lin Yu in Jinyu Tower. Then tell me why you wanted to investigate him."

Lin Yu shook Ji Wenbin, who had a painful expression on his face, and asked.

"Because, because he holds nearly a billion essence pills in his hands, Protector Ouyang and I both want to get those essence pills, so we must find out his whereabouts."

"Really?"

Lin Yu got an important message from Ji Wenbin's words, that is, the backer behind Ji Wenbin was really Ouyang Ce.

My previous inference was completely correct.

"How are you going to deal with him after you find out his whereabouts?"

Lin Yu continued to ask in the tone of a curious passerby.

He didn't want to appear eager, otherwise Ji Wenbin would guess that he was Lin Yu.

It was precisely because of this that he did not directly ask about the whereabouts of his parents and family, but found a conversation starter and slowly continued.

"I have captured his parents and friends. When I find out his whereabouts, I will reveal the matter to him, and he will definitely take the bait."

"I think he might have guessed that, though."

Ji Wenbin said clearly.

"Oh? What is your specific plan?" Lin Yu asked, "Where have you hidden his parents and family? And, how are you going to deal with him?"

"Everything in the world is unpredictable, and that kid is very good at hiding his whereabouts, so Protector Ouyang and I don't have a detailed plan yet and are ready to adapt accordingly."

Ji Wenbin answered Lin Yu's questions without any concealment. At the same time, the pain on his face became more and more serious, his brows were tightly knitted together, and even speaking became a little difficult.

"His family was hidden by me... uh... ah, ah——"

As he spoke, Ji Wenbin suddenly groaned in pain, and his whole body curled up involuntarily.
