Following the words of the Qingyi guide, Qin Dong stared slightly and took a look at this person's cultivation.
I discovered that this guy was only at the eighth level of body tempering and was indeed a low-level figure in the royal city.
This kind of character has a low status, hangs around in the market, and is the most well-informed. Maybe he is not necessarily a 'Bai Xiaosheng', but the difference should not be too far.
"good."
In response, Qin Dong let the Qingyi guide lead him to a teahouse.
I asked for a secluded seat and ordered a pot of agave-scented tea, which is quite famous in the royal city. While looking at the street scene, I quickly organized my thoughts.
When he first arrived in the royal city, it was obviously unrealistic to want to know from a low-level figure about the evil cultivator and the secrets among the seven major families.
Therefore, understanding the situation in the royal city is the top priority at the moment.
Originally, Qin Dong could have consulted Huangfu's economics before setting off, but recently, he had been troubled by the seven major families, and he was not a local in the royal city. Therefore, Qin Dong thought it would be more appropriate to explore in person.
"Chief Immortal, I don't know if you are here to do business in the royal city or to visit old friends. If you have any questions, just ask."
The Tsing Yi guide said respectfully.
Qin Dong had some calculations in his mind and said calmly: "The way of merchants is not what I want. But recently, I heard that some people were refining corpses in the royal city, and a lot of troubles were caused. I wonder if you know some gossip? You might as well. tell me the story."
When he heard this, the Qingyi guide's face changed slightly. He might have guessed something, but he still managed to calm down and said, "Before answering the question, can you please understand whether the immortal is here?" To investigate the case? If so, I’d better ask the Immortal to not wade into this muddy water.”
"Oh? According to this, you know some useful information?"
Qin Dong's heart moved and he narrowed his eyes.
"That's natural, but... some things are best kept in the stomach, but cannot be said openly, otherwise, it will harm the immortal." The green-clothed guide said cautiously.
"Just tell me, no matter if someone dies for investigation or not, I won't blame you." Qin Dong said lightly.
While speaking, he used his spiritual thoughts to quietly watch the Qingyi guide's expression, demeanor, tone of voice, and every subtle reaction in his body to determine whether the person was guilty.
If you have a guilty conscience, you will have abnormal reactions. You will never be able to deceive Qin Dong about this.
The green-clothed guide heard that the cloaked man would not blame him. He felt relieved and blurted out: "To be honest with the immortal, Xiaosheng is so cautious because most of the people in the royal city who investigate the matter of corpse refining are silent." disappeared, and even a young minister from Dali Temple died in the hands of evil spirits, so we have to be on guard to prevent the immortals from being harmed for no reason."
"When it comes to corpse refining, others may not know it clearly, but Xiaosheng happens to know a little bit about it."
"Xiaosheng has a cousin who is a police officer in the South District of Wangcheng. That day, he happened to be drinking with Xiaosheng, but suddenly received an order saying that traces of evil cultivators were found near Wangyue Peak outside the city, so he said goodbye I’m a young student, and I’m going to perform my mission.”
"Who knew that once I left, I would never come back again..."
"On the second day, Xiaosheng received the news of the death of the young minister of Dali Temple, and as we all know, it was the evil cultivator who did it. If the immortal wants to search for clues, the breakthrough must be near Wangyue Peak, or, Only by trying every possible means to find the living person who was traveling with the young minister of Dali Temple that day can we possibly know the specific situation..."
Mentioning this, the Qingyi guide also looked a little sad. Perhaps he was feeling sad for his cousin who died for no reason.
"Wangyue Peak?"
Qin Dong murmured. He didn't expect that he would find a breakthrough and get useful information just by asking casually.
It seems that there are also strange people in the market. The ancients sincerely do not deceive me.
"What about other than that? Is there anything else?" Qin Dong asked again.
The Qingyi guide quickly calmed down and continued to answer: "The royal city covers an extremely large area and has a population of over 100 million. At the beginning, only thousands of people were missing, and no one took it seriously. Later, more and more people were missing. When the number reaches tens of thousands, it is already too late to contain it.”
"Even now, people still disappear from time to time in the royal city! This makes people in the royal city panic. When it gets dark, no one can be seen on the streets, and most of the missing people are young adults. , or they are boys and girls with extremely strong yang energy, who are really evil..."
After hearing this, Qin Dong's guesses and expectations became clearer.
That evil cultivator did not prey on the old, weak, sick or disabled, but was only interested in young adults, or boys and girls. In the eyes of these mortals, it was very strange, but in Qin Dong's eyes, he saw something different. That is to collect blood.
Those who are old, weak, sick, and disabled have weak blood, and no matter how much they are grasped, they will not have much effect. However, those young and middle-aged people, as well as boys and girls, have a continuous supply of pure blood.
As for those who use mortal blood to improve their cultivation, if nothing unexpected happens, they must be practicing some kind of evil magic to improve their own skills.
This kind of evil cultivation is in line with the saying that one demon's power can make thousands of bones dry up. If it is a magical power, it is very possible to kill hundreds of thousands or even millions of innocent people.
No wonder the eradication of this evil practice would be listed as an achievement among the Immortal Sect. Even the Immortal Sect, which is aloof and has always been indifferent to the world, can't stand this kind of thing.
Qin Dong asked himself that he was not a gentleman, but since he had accepted the task, it was his duty to find out this evil cultivator and eradicate him.
When the green-clothed guide saw that he had explained repeatedly, the man in the cloak not only did not give up his idea, but became more and more interested. He couldn't help but persuade him: "Immortal Chief, you are a master of Taoism. It is not easy to practice. If you want to kill evil spirits, you will miss yourself." That’s really not worth it.”
"You don't need to worry too much about this matter. In addition, do you know some news about Lou Qingying and Xiao Jiyuan? The two of them should be married and living a good life."
Qin Dong asked.
"Getting married? Immortal, where did you start talking about this...?"
The Tsing Yi guide said with a blank look on his face.
Qin Dong sensed something was wrong in this person's words, his face changed, and then he said: "Xiao Jiyuan is a person who has obtained the order to ascend to immortality. Could it be that you don't even know the news about him and Miss Lou?"
"Immortal, please forgive Xiaosheng for being rude. This question of yours... Xiaosheng has indeed never heard of it. Moreover, since Qin Dong, the first genius of the empire, defected, Xiao Jiyuan had a close relationship with him and was also implicated. Not only was he deprived of The Immortal Ascension Order was also locked up in the Inspection Department Prison by the seven major families, and he will be interrogated and executed tomorrow."
The green-clothed guide said with a cold sweat on his face. He was not stupid. It was not difficult to see that the relationship between the cloaked man and Xiao Jiyuan was extraordinary. Otherwise, why didn't he mention anyone else but Xiao Jiyuan?
"What? Xiao Jiyuan... was not only deprived of the order to ascend to immortality, he was also locked up in the prison of the Inspection Department!" Qin Dong's eyes turned cold, and his originally peaceful mind was immediately aroused into a rage. Thinking that even Xiao Jiyuan was implicated for his own sake?
Thinking of this, the tea cup in his hand, along with the tea, turned into powder and evaporated out of thin air!
What a seven-family family!
What a public revenge!
Those shameless guys didn't even let Xiao Jiyuan off if they tricked Huangji Daofu!
