Gu Qingxi frowned when he heard these words. Didn't the city lord go to inspect the collapse of the house in the morning? Why give alms at this time? Although the city lord also gave alms before, the time was very fixed, twice a year, during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival.
time. And never give so much.
In the past, when giving alms, it was usually three hundred coins and two liters of rice per family. Today, the amount given is really too much, and it is not distributed to families, but to everyone, even the fetus in the belly of a pregnant woman.
.
No matter how you look at this, nothing is right.
Ye Wuchen suddenly looked up at the sky, his face cold: "It's too late."
Gu Qingxi also raised his head and his expression changed.
The Soul-Eating Sacrifice Formation is activated!
"Sit tight, no, stand still!" After Gu Qingxi hurriedly said this, before Ye Wuchen could recover, he flew forward with his sword.
Ye Wuchen only felt his whole body jerking back, and then subconsciously stretched out his hand to put on Gu Qingxi's shoulder. The wind whistled in his ears, and the surrounding scenery quickly retreated.
Ye Wuchen: "..."
When we arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, a lot of people were already crowded in the large square in front of the City Lord's Mansion. There were guards maintaining order and letting the people line up. The people were lining up obediently and with beaming faces.
In front of the city lord's mansion, the eldest son and second daughter of the city lord are presiding over the charity. The pig heads of the city lord's wife and young master have disappeared. Think about it, the city lord is a golden elixir monk after all. It is easy to get some elixirs to heal their wounds.
When the two people saw Gu Qingxi appear, they trembled all over and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Gu Qingxi.
"They are frightened by you, hahaha. Look at the way they huddle up, they look like quails." Ancestor Wanling laughed and made a goose cry.
Gu Qingxi once again suspected that Wan Ling Ancestor was beaten to death because of his bad mouth.
"Where is the city lord?" As soon as Gu Qingxi landed, she walked up to the eldest young master and asked.
The eldest young master glared at Gu Qingxi and was about to scold her, but when he met Gu Qingxi's cold eyes, he immediately said weakly: "That's your father, how can you be so disrespectful?"
"Can't answer questions? Do you want to be beaten?" Gu Qingxi said impatiently.
"Father is inside and will be out in a moment." The eldest young master immediately answered honestly.
Gu Qingxi ignored him and went straight into the gate to look for someone.
The eldest young master whispered in a low voice: "What kind of person comes back and shows off his power? If he doesn't help, he will beat others."
"Shut up." The eldest lady said with a cold face, "You haven't seen yet, this little girl is extraordinary."
"Is it possible that father wants to hand over the position of city lord to her in the future? How can that be done?!" The eldest young master jumped up as if his tail was stepped on. He had long regarded the position of city lord as something in his pocket, how could he be handed over to her by a person?
Taken away by the wild girl who appeared in the middle?
"She really wants this position, but you can't take it from her. But she doesn't seem to want to be the city lord." The eldest lady said lightly.
"You're not her, how do you know she doesn't want to?" The eldest young master was unconvinced, with anger in his eyes.
The eldest lady turned to look at the City Lord's Mansion. She did not answer the eldest young master's question, but said in a deep voice: "Don't you think your father has been a little strange lately?"
"What's weird?" The eldest young master asked casually, disapprovingly.
"My father used to supervise our cultivation. My younger brother has the best qualifications, and he values me the most. Every time you and your younger brother have a conflict, you are the one who gets scolded. But when my younger sister came back, she beat my younger brother.
He also beat his wife, but his father didn't blame him, and instead treated his younger sister better." The eldest lady frowned.
"That means her qualifications are better, and my father values her more." After the eldest young master muttered this, his expression changed again, "No! My father values her, so the position of city lord in the future must belong to her?"
After hearing these words, the eldest lady didn't want to talk to him anymore. You are so stupid and you still want to be the city lord?
The eldest lady turned to look at the City Lord's Mansion, feeling that something was wrong. Her father's attitude towards them had become increasingly cold during this period. She used to eat with them, but how long had it been since they had eaten at the same table? More
Every time, I just ignore them.
After Gu Qingxi and Ye Wuchen entered the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Qingxi's face darkened: "The formation is right here in the City Lord's Mansion. I don't believe it if you say that all this has nothing to do with the City Lord."
"Seize the body?" Ye Wuchen guessed.
"You'll know it when you see him." The person Gu Qingxi refers to naturally refers to the city lord.
When Gu Qingxi saw the city lord, the city lord was standing on the highest attic of the city lord's mansion, overlooking the entire city. Hearing the sound from behind, he did not look back. Instead, he said lightly: "You are here.
"
"The Soul-eating Sacrificial Array was indeed arranged by you." Seeing the city lord's calm attitude, Gu Qingxi confirmed her suspicion.
"You are very smart." The city lord slowly turned around and looked at Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi frowned when she looked at the city lord's current appearance.
The city lord's eyes were completely dark, and not a trace of white could be seen. There were also bright red magic lines between his eyebrows.
The city lord has become a demon.
"You want to cultivate demons?" Although Gu Qingxi was surprised in her heart, she asked calmly.
"I have stayed in the Golden Core stage for a long time, and my lifespan is about to end." The city lord said slowly, "I am about to die."
"But you are not willing to die here. You want to become a demon and want to try another way of cultivation to break through?" Although Gu Qingxi looked calm on the surface, the alarm bell was already ringing in her heart and she was always ready to take action.
"Hahaha, fallen demon?" The city lord laughed when he heard this, "I am a demon cultivator myself, how did I become a demon?"
Therefore, the demonic energy that appears in the city is not because the demonic cultivator has sneaked in. It is because the city lord is a demonic cultivator himself.
"What do you want to do? Sacrifice the entire city to the Demon Emperor? In order to grant you a new breakthrough?" Several talismans suddenly appeared in Gu Qingxi's hand, and her face became colder.
"You want to stop me? Once the soul-eating sacrificial array is activated, it cannot be interrupted. And you, just building a foundation, also want to be my enemy?" The city lord looked at Gu Qingxi with disdain, as if he were looking at an ant.
"You yourself are the eye of this soul-eating sacrifice array. If I kill you, this array will be broken." Gu Qingxi said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, not only the city lord was shocked, but also Ye Wuchen, who had been silent all this time.
"You can actually see it. Yes, you are worthy of my bloodline." After being surprised, the city lord smiled complacently.
Ye Wuchen was shocked. How did Gu Qingxi know that the city lord himself was the formation eye? Even he didn't see it. He knew that the formation eye was in the city lord's mansion, but he never thought that a person could also be the formation eye.
"But, you want to kill me? Hahahahaha, after being raised in a village isolated from the world for many years, I was raised to be extremely naive." The city lord threw his head back and laughed, as if he was hearing the funniest joke in the world.
