Chapter 5215: Breaking Rumors

In a room in the side courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Yifeng was standing by the window, playing with a ball of spiritual energy in his hand with great interest.

"Brother Zhang, if you hadn't been so smart this time, you wouldn't have checked your whole body right after you came back and found this strange spiritual energy."

"We are afraid that Yun Cong will really catch us in the act."

Lu Shuang was sitting at the table, also holding a ball of blue spiritual energy in his hand.

Just as Lu Shuang said, after finishing the operation and returning to the room, Zhang Yifeng checked himself immediately.

Sure enough, in a hidden corner of his body, he discovered the blue spiritual energy that he was holding in his hands at the moment.

And this blue spiritual energy was the trick that Yun Cong played on them.

"Right now, Yun Cong should be very anxious and looking around with fear."

Zhang Yifeng smiled slightly and looked down at the spiritual energy in his palm for a while.

Then he exerted a little force with his hands, and the blue spiritual energy disappeared in his palms.

Lu Shuang behind him did the same, crushing the blue spiritual energy.

"Also, Brother Zhang, what you said to Yun Cong in the hall earlier should have been intended to sow the seeds of fear in his heart, right?"

After Lu Shuang dispersed the spiritual energy, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Yifeng with his eyes slightly narrowed.

What he said were exactly what Zhang Yifeng had said to Yun Cong intentionally or unintentionally in the hall.

For example, there is a rumor that the two assassins might take Yun Cong's life while he is sleeping.

"Of course, if not, how can we proceed with the next step?"

"Seeing that none of us have been harmed by him, Yun Cong will surely be terrified."

"Add to that what I said, and he will definitely feel that Wushuang City is not a place to stay for long."

"It probably won't be long before he starts thinking about escaping Wushuang City."

Zhang Yifeng spoke calmly as a ray of light flew out from his fingertips, slowly unfolding a curtain of light in front of the two of them.

Then, Yun Cong's figure appeared in the light curtain.

At this time, Yun Cong had returned to his room.

It was late at night but Yun Cong was not sleepy at all. He kept pacing back and forth in the room with an anxious look on his face.

Outside Yun Cong's room, footsteps could be heard from time to time.

He actually called most of the guards in the city lord's mansion to patrol outside his room.

Afraid that what Zhang Yifeng had said before would come true, the two men would sneak into the room and kill him when he was unaware.

"Oh, it seems this kid is guilty of his crime."

"Earlier, everyone in Wushuang City was tortured by the curse. Now, he is frightened to such an extent because of what you said, Brother Zhang."

"It's really retribution."

Lu Shuang looked at Yun Cong in the light curtain, who was so frightened, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Now it seems that Yun Cong is at most a dog of the mastermind behind the scenes and is not worthy of our attention."

"The reason we plotted against him like this is just to find out what the Shell Organization wants to do in Wushuang City."

Zhang Yifeng glanced at Yun Cong in the light curtain and spoke in a calm tone.

He never took Yun Cong and other small fry seriously. What they really wanted to deal with this time was the Shell Organization hidden behind the scenes.

"By tomorrow, I think Yun Cong will make some moves."

"Let's take a rest tonight and wait for the opportunity."

Zhang Yifeng waved his hand to disperse the light curtain, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

Seeing this, Lu Shuang at the table showed a look of surprise.

"Brother Zhang, you don't want to sleep in the same bed with me, do you?"

Lu Shuang pursed her lips and looked at Zhang Yifeng anxiously.

"When did I say that? You either spend the night on the floor or find an empty room."

Zhang Yifeng, who was lying on the bed resting, heard the voice and replied casually without opening his eyes.

Lu Shuang heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing this. He then had no intention of taking a rest and just sat cross-legged on the chair.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon the night of Wushuang City faded away, and the sun rose in the sky.

Let’s not talk about how difficult Yun Cong’s night was.

In the dark alley on the side of Wushuang City's street, two figures sat up from the ground one after the other.

These two people were the young masters of the Wang and Li families who were knocked unconscious by Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shuang last night.

After the young master of the Li family sat up from the ground, he looked around with a solemn expression.

After the young master of the Wang family woke up, he screamed and crawled into the corner with a look of fear.

"Stop shouting!"

The young master of the Li family was thinking, but he heard bursts of screams and couldn't help but scolding coldly.

This scolding immediately calmed the young master of the Wang family down a bit.

Only then did he realize that he and Brother Li were lying in the alley where they were last night.

Then he reached out and pinched his cheek again, feeling the pain.

"Li, Brother Li, are we okay?!"

"But...but I still remember last night, we clearly..."

Young Master Wang swallowed his saliva. After confirming that he was still alive, he couldn't help but recall the ghost face he saw last night.

"Okay, it seems that the curse in this city is not true, but someone did it on purpose."

While Young Master Wang was looking confused, Young Master Li had already stood up and said with a gleam in his eyes.

Then he ignored the young master of the Wang family who was still standing in the corner with a frightened look on his face, and walked straight out of the alley.

"Wait, wait, Brother Li, what do you mean?"

Upon seeing this, the young master of the Wang family swallowed his saliva.

Looking at the deserted alley, he finally didn't dare to stay any longer and followed the footsteps of the young master of the Li family.

After the two left, they returned to their homes.

Because the two men did not return all night, the people from the Wang and Li families originally wanted to report the matter directly to the City Lord's Mansion and search for them throughout the process.

But seeing that the two had returned safely, the two families did not make the matter public.

The young master of the Wang family was very quiet after returning home. He did not tell the truth and only said that he had stayed overnight at a friend's house yesterday.

On the contrary, the young master of the Li family immediately arranged for people to spread what happened last night throughout the city as soon as he returned home.

Of course, he didn't say anything else, only that he had personally experienced the curse of the city last night.

However, he was still able to return safely, proving personally that the curse was simply false.

For a time, the entire Wushuang City was in an uproar because of this incident.

After all, because of this curse, everyone in Wushuang City has to cover their entire body before walking outside every day.

Countless people have already been suffering from this matter.

Unexpectedly, this curse was broken by the young master of the Li family today.

At that moment, many people began to try to take off their robes and show their true faces.

Gradually, more and more people started to behave like this, and now few people wear long robes outside.

The only ones left in Wushuang City who still remained in this state were the guards who followed Yun Cong's instructions.
