Capítulo 2722: Chapter 2723: Deep-Seated Entanglements

And her family’s head, surprisingly wants to send someone to investigate?

“Head of the family, do you think the City Lord’s attention has not yet focused on our Yuan Family, so you want to send someone to remind him?” she raised an eyebrow and asked.

Right now, the smartest person is to act like nothing has happened, stay cooped up in their own home, and not concern themselves with outside matters.

“I…”

Hearing Madam Yuan’s words, the head of the Yuan Family was taken aback.

“Perhaps I was overthinking.”

“Head of the family, it’s best if you do nothing for now. Also, whether someone from the Ling Family comes to us or people from other families, it’s best for you not to meet them. Let our Yuan Family close the doors and act like we are unaware of anything happening outside.”

Madam Yuan reminded once again.

“People from other families… I understand now.”

With her reminder, the Yuan Family head immediately understood that the relationships between families in Sky City are incredibly intricate.

The Ling Family is not only on good terms with the Yuan Family; other families might have already approached the head of the Yuan Family, wanting to jointly plead with the City Lord’s Mansion on behalf of the Ling Family. Such matters are best for them not to get involved in.

“Let’s wait for Jue’er to come out of the Boundless Sea Forest, and then we will ask him what exactly is going on.” he said in a deep voice.

“Alright.”

Madam Yuan responded, knowing that this was the most prudent approach.

She had already advised her husband and knew that he wouldn’t do anything detrimental to the Yuan Family just because of social courtesy with those outside. She was assured.

After all, to directly annihilate a family, or even several families, making it impossible for them to rise again, isn’t something that a simple Ling Xue’er can accomplish.

There must be deeper connections involved.

They just don’t know the ins and outs of the matter, and although they want to inquire about it, who dares?

…

Skull Residence, Twenty-eighth Gate.

Obtaining the Bitter Thoughts Pavilion isn’t that simple; breaking through the levels isn’t as straightforward and aggressive as breaking through the Skull Residence used to be, charging straight ahead.

This time, Sui Zimo was directly transmitted to a small town.

In this town, there were all kinds of people coming and going, selling goods, buying goods, adults talking among themselves, children playing, and others busy working or on their way.

And Sui Zimo became one of them.

However, he was different from the others. After observing for a long time, he realized those talking or playing continued doing just one thing.

Or rather, several groups took turns doing this one thing, and as one cycle passed, they started again. This was a virtual town, entirely devoid of human essence.

“A task?”

A task paper appeared in Sui Zimo’s hand, instructing him to go to a specific place and find a certain person to receive a task.

He didn’t hesitate and went directly to find the person.

…

On the other side, the Twenty-first Gate.

Lu Tianfeng had lost count of how many demons he had fought. He only knew he was reaching his limit.

Finally, he killed a demon, watching its body disappear before his eyes.

He gritted his teeth, looking at the dozens of brocade pouches scattered on the ground, resisting the urge to curse aloud but managed to hold it in.

Because he had tried before, as soon as he cursed Elder Skull aloud or in his mind, another brocade pouch would appear on the ground!
