The few people who were eating and drinking didn't know that the news that Li Heng was colluding with the demons was spreading wildly outside.
I don’t know where the rumor came from, saying that Li Heng colluded with the leaders of some large mercenary groups to give humans as gifts to the demons for the demons to eat.
As soon as the news came out, the residents of the city were in a panic.
"If we say this, will anyone really believe it?"
Dai Linshan smiled coldly: "Just watch, the fun will come soon."
There are not only mercenaries in this city, but also ordinary residents. They are just like before outside, doing small business to make a living, as long as people can survive.
Regardless of whether something is true or false, once someone starts to doubt it, even if it is false, it will become true.
There is no city lord in the town, but Li Heng, the president of a mere mercenary union, regards himself as the city lord in many matters, and even helps others make some decisions and intervenes in things that have nothing to do with him.
It's not that no one knows what Li Heng is thinking, it's just that everyone has a tacit understanding not to reveal it.
He tried his best to climb up, but he never thought that the higher he climbed, the harder he would fall.
What's more, his hands and feet are not very clean.
Just wait, the backlash will come soon.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
In the time Shujue and the others had eaten, almost everyone in this small town knew about the incident, and some even went to the mercenary union to ask Li Heng to give them an explanation.
The man who was working as a receptionist on the first floor was dumbfounded. He had been in the mercenary union for so many years, when had he ever seen such a force?
In the past, even if someone came to make trouble, it was just one or two. As long as Li Heng's reputation was used to suppress him, that person would immediately leave in despair.
With so many people now, Li Heng’s name cannot be suppressed.
In desperation, he could only go out and use his spiritual power to keep those people out. With all his strength, he raised his voice and said: "Everyone, what kind of person is President Li? After all of you have been in the city for so many years, you should be... It’s obvious to all, I don’t know where this rumor comes from, but please believe in President Li and the mercenary union!”
Mentioning Li Heng's character, the crowd was indeed quiet for a moment.
The man who was hiding behind to check what was going on snorted lightly, cursing in his mind: How dare you mention this as a human being? Something crawling out of the garbage! Pooh!
Seeing that the crowd seemed shaken, he rolled his eyes, pinched his nose and shouted, "We don't believe it! Ask President Li to come out and explain to us in person!"
No one noticed him, he was hiding in the crowd, and the receptionist of the mercenary union didn't even see who opened his mouth to boo.
With him taking the lead, the residents who had not been completely appeased started making trouble again, and the noise was even louder than before.
The reception area was surrounded by people, and there was a thick trickle of sweat on their foreheads.
He had no choice but to answer them loudly: "Our president is not in the union today. A few people from the mercenary group have made great achievements in annihilating the demons a few days ago. Today the president is hosting a banquet for them in Juyun Pavilion..."
Before he finished speaking, the crowd dispersed and walked towards Juyun Pavilion in twos and threes.
No one noticed at all that many of the people making noises were members of the small mercenary group.
Because the small mercenary group was not taken seriously, the receptionist did not recognize them.
The crowd rushed towards Juyun Pavilion, and there was a lot of movement. Many residents on the road asked them in confusion what they were doing. After hearing the answer, they also joined the team.
When the crowd arrived at Juyun Pavilion, the huge team looked like half of the people in the city were here.
"Why is there so much noise outside?" Li Heng was still thinking about why the medicine took effect so slowly, but he found that the outside had become extremely lively at some point.
He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He stood up and opened the window to take a look, and his scalp suddenly felt numb.
It’s densely packed with people down there!
For some reason, he had a feeling that these people were coming for him.
Just when I had this thought, Shu Jue suddenly shouted from behind: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Lian Huo lay on the table, closed his eyes tightly, and was unconscious.
Li Heng's eyebrows jumped, but Shu Jue had already raised her head and asked him sternly: "President Li, did you really invite us to have a meal? What did you put in the meal? Hand over the antidote!"
"There is no antidote! No, I didn't put anything in!" Li Heng was confused.
There was nothing in the food, the medicinal powder was applied on the rim of the cup and chopsticks.
Only then did he realize to his horror that except for Lian Yan, none of the others had been hit?
His heart was beating violently, and his uneasiness almost overflowed. Li Heng suppressed the rest of his thoughts and tried to maintain the original gentleness of his voice: "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't put anything in this meal. Maybe he was from before. If there are any hidden wounds on the body of the slaying demons, I’ll ask Master He to come over and show him.”
The movement downstairs was so loud that the shopkeeper of Juyun Pavilion could no longer stop it.
As soon as Li Heng got out, he was surrounded by people:
"President Li, are all those rumors true?"
"President Li, we all trust you so much, you can't harm us! Does the disappearance of those people in the city have anything to do with you? It doesn't matter, right?"
"President Li, why don't you speak?"
"..."
Everyone said something to each other, and Li Heng's eyes turned black after hearing this.
At this time, he finally realized that the medicine was not effective because those people were so powerful. It was clearly because the medicine had no effect on them!
He racked his brains to think of how to solve this problem, but he heard a sudden explosion from upstairs.
An extremely cold spiritual energy spread instantly, making him shiver.
As another momentum competed with the ice spiritual power, Li Heng's head exploded.
The roof of Juyun Pavilion exploded, and tiles and rubble flew everywhere.
Two more figures appeared among the fragments, one pink and one black. Before anyone could react, the two people had already faced each other in mid-air.
The man in black's cloak was blown up by the strong wind, and his hat also slipped off.
A face with demonic lines on half of its cheeks appeared in front of everyone. Someone called him "Demon" first. Then, before Li Heng could react, someone took advantage of the confusion and slapped him in the face!
Accompanied by a strange voice: "President Li actually hides the demons secretly? He also said that he has no collusion with the demons!"
Everyone present greeted Li Heng with fists mixed with spiritual power.
Li Heng's own strength is not weak, but now he doesn't dare to fight back!
On the roof, Shu Jue and the demons were fighting fiercely, while below Li Heng was beaten by a group of people until he was running away with his head in his arms.
Lian Huo came down from upstairs holding the unconscious Lian Yan and cried in front of a group of people: "President Li, he arranged the demons next to us and drugged the food. My brother was not prepared and was directly hit." Got it!"
