Gu Qingxi frowned after hearing 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 used to give alms, the time was very fixed, twice a year, during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival. And never give so much.
In the past, when giving money, it was usually three hundred coins and two liters of rice per family. There are really too many gifts given today, and they are not distributed to families, but to everyone, even the fetuses still in the belly of pregnant women.
No matter how you look at it, something is wrong.
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 my ears, and the surrounding scenery retreated rapidly.
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 common people were lining up obediently with beaming faces.
In front of the city lord's mansion, the eldest son and second daughter of the city lord were presiding over the donation. The pig heads of the city lord's wife and young master have disappeared. Thinking 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's appearance, they trembled and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Gu Qingxi.
"They were frightened by you, hahaha. Look at the way they huddled up, they look like quails." Ancestor Wanling laughed and made a goose cry.
Gu Qingxi once again suspected that Wanling Ancestor was beaten to death because of his bad mouth.
"Where is the city lord?" Gu Qingxi walked up to the eldest young master and asked as soon as he landed.
The eldest young master stared 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 young master immediately answered honestly.
Gu Qingxi ignored him and went straight into the gate to look for someone.
The eldest young master muttered in a low voice: "What kind of person does he show off his power when he comes back? If he doesn't help, he beats people."
"Shut up." The eldest lady said with a cold face, "You haven't noticed yet, this little girl is extraordinary."
"Does my father want 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 had been stepped on. He had long regarded the position of city lord as something within his grasp. How could he be snatched away by a wild girl who appeared in the middle?
"She really wants this position and 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 my father has been a little strange lately?"
"What's weird?" The eldest young master asked casually, disapprovingly.
"My father used to supervise our cultivation. The younger brother has the best qualifications and he values the most. Every time you and the younger brother have a conflict, you will be scolded. But when the younger sister came back, she beat the younger brother. He also beat his wife, but his father didn't blame him, and instead treated his little 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, doesn't the position of city lord in the future belong to her?"
After hearing these words, the eldest lady didn't want to talk to him anymore. You are so stupid and still want to be the city lord?
The eldest lady turned to look at the City Lord's Mansion, feeling that something was wrong. During this time, their father's attitude toward them became increasingly cold. I used to eat with them, but how long has it been since we had dinner at the same table? More often than not, they are ignored.
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 when you see him." The person Gu Qingxi refers to naturally refers to the city lord.
When Gu Qingxi saw the city lord, he was standing on the highest attic of the city lord's mansion, overlooking the entire city. Hearing the sound from behind him, he didn't look back. Instead, he said lightly: "You are here."
"The Soul-Eating Sacrifice 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 the white of his eyes could be seen. There are 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, she asked calmly.
"I have stayed in the golden elixir 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 due to demonic cultivators sneaking in. But the city lord himself is a demon cultivator.
"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 sacrifice formation 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 was looking at an ant.
"You 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.
"You can actually see it. Yes, you are worthy of my bloodline." After being surprised, the city lord smiled smugly.
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 palace, but he never thought that a single person could serve as 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.
