The Ji family residence, guarded by a large number of Ji family guards, is indeed the safest place in the entire evil-warming city.
Although he was still not used to the Ji family guards calling him uncle, seeing that Jiang Nuer had no objection and Qi Meiren was happy to stay in a safe enough place to concentrate on training, Su You settled down here with peace of mind.
After living for a day in the Ji family's residence in the Evil Exorcism City.
Ji Hongzhuang and Lin Jiangyue returned to the city from the soul-condensing spirit stone veins.
One look at the expressions on the two people's faces showed that the cooperation with the Tianxing Dynasty was canceled very smoothly, and at the same time, the cooperation with the Alchemist Association was also successfully concluded.
At this point, 40% of the soul-condensing spirit stones excavated and refined from the soul-condensing spirit stone veins will be sent directly to the headquarters of the Alchemist Association for elixir refining after leaving the veins, and half of the refined elixirs will be sent to Ji The two families decide what to do with the family and the Lin family, and the remaining half is handled by the Alchemist Association. This cooperation is very reasonable and satisfactory for both parties.
As for the Tianxing Dynasty, whose cooperation was canceled, they could only give up the huge cake in front of them in despair.
Su You took advantage of Ji Hongzhuang's return to the city and immediately asked him why his eldest brother Ji Rulong appeared in the evil-fighting city. After all, there had been rumors in the market that the eldest son of the Ji family, Ji Rulong, was concentrating on practicing somewhere. All the affairs of the family are handled by the second son, Ji Tianming.
But now that Ji Rulong suddenly appears in the Evil Exorcism City, it is obviously impossible for Ji Rulong to be practicing in the Evil Exorcism City. You must know that this is the border of the mainland. Even if it seems safe now, there is no guarantee that it will always be safe in the future. For a cultivator, A safe cultivation environment is a top priority, and it is impossible for Ji Rulong to understand this truth given his cultivation level in the realm of life and death.
When Ji Hongzhuang saw that Su You was living in her house and the guards called him uncle, she knew that Su You was not that resistant to the contract with her, so she generously regarded him as her real fiancé. .
When facing her own family, Ji Hongzhuang would naturally not hide it. Although she still had some reservations, she still opened her mouth to clear up Su You's doubts.
Ji Hongzhuang said: "Actually, the rumor at the beginning is indeed true, because the eldest brother is really concentrating on cultivation, and he is just trying to break through the realm in the family secret room. But after the eldest brother successfully broke through to the realm of life and death, the eldest brother The family has left, and even my biological sister doesn't know what they are doing. The only thing that can be known is that the eldest brother is not actually doing things alone, but secretly working with Lin Cen, the second son of the Lin family, and Wang Luo, the second son of the Wang family. Doing some extremely mysterious things.”
"Are even Tiandu's Lin family and Wang family involved?" Su You was surprised when he heard what Ji Hongzhuang said, but he also felt that everything he had encountered before had become blurry again.
Ji Hongzhuang continued: "Although the eldest brother and the elders of the clan did not explain it clearly, I still found some clues through a little investigation."
"Oh?" Su You looked at Ji Hongzhuang curiously.
Ji Hongzhuang immediately raised her chin like a child asking for praise and said with a proud posture: "I once secretly investigated and found that Lin Cen and Wang Luo, who are close to the eldest brother, actually had a relationship a long time ago. Set off for the Loulan Dynasty and Xuanqi Dynasty, which are as famous as Tianxing and Zhongli, and these two have not returned to Tiandu City for a long time, but the Wang family and the Lin family seem to have been receiving messages from the Loulan Dynasty and Xuanqi Dynasty. News from the dynasty.”
"At the same time, I also noticed that my eldest brother had contacted people from the Seven Kills Hall some time ago, and the killers from the Seven Kills Hall have been active near Demon Killing City recently. It must be that my eldest brother, the Lin family, and the Wang family have joined forces with the Seven Kills Hall. Contact us, we are entrusting the Seven Kills Hall to do something near Demon Slaying City."
"I see!"
As soon as he heard Ji Hongzhuang mention Ji Rulong and the Killer of the Seven Kills Hall, Su You suddenly realized and said: "I finally understand why I met your elder brother in the Evil Exorcism City. It's no wonder that I always felt that Tianxing was there when I was at the Wan Zong Xianhui." The second prince of the dynasty, Sun Hua, is very ghostly... I see, it makes sense that everything can be connected."
"What do you mean? Could it be that what Big Brother and the others are doing is actually related to the Tianxing Dynasty?" Ji Hongzhuang was confused by Su You's words and hurriedly asked Su You to explain clearly.
Su You then nodded and said, "The reason why I suspected Sun Hua started from the ring competition between me and Sun Hua at the Wan Zongxian Conference."
"Although I already felt a little weird when Sun Hua competed on stage for the first time, it was only when I actually fought with Sun Hua that I noticed that there was an extremely evil force hidden in Sun Hua's spiritual power. This The black mist that Sun Hua spit out from his mouth could actually hurt my body, and even affect the circulation of spiritual power and blood in my body. This weird move made me doubt Sun Hua's power from that time on. There may not only be Tianxing Dynasty behind it, but also..."
"Wait a minute!" When Ji Hongzhuang heard this, her expression suddenly changed, "You want to talk about the evil spirits of the Heavenly Demon Realm? The forces behind Sun Hua are not only the Tianxing Dynasty, but also the evil spirits of the Heavenly Demon Realm?"
After seeing Su You nodding in agreement, Ji Hongzhuang's face became even more ugly, filled with disgust for the Tianxing Dynasty and Sun Hua.
Su You continued: "At that time, I was just suspicious. After all, although Sun Hua was not very good, the Tianxing Dynasty was still one of the four major dynasties in the mainland, so I waited until I came to Demon Killing City and saw him again. It was only after Sun Hua started to doubt Sun Hua from the bottom of his heart again."
"Because before coming to Demon Killing City, I, Nuer and Miss Qi had dealt with the evil spirits of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and as we got to know the evil spirits of the Heavenly Demon Realm better and better, we became more and more suspicious of the mysterious power in Sun Hua's body. The power comes from the evil spirits of the Demon Realm."
"But what really convinced me that there must be the shadow of the demon from the Heavenly Demon Realm behind Sun Hua was what happened yesterday, and what you just said inspired me and made me finally confirm my own point of view."
Ji Hongzhuang calmed down her somewhat angry mood and asked Su You to continue.
Su You didn't show any coyness, and immediately stated all the conjectures in his mind word by word, "The person who attacked me outside the soul-condensing spirit stone mine was the old man in gray robe who was next to Sun Hua at yesterday's luncheon. , I think no matter how angry Sun Hua is, he still has to take into account my status as a sixth-grade alchemist and the pressure from the Alchemist Association. Not to mention that at the luncheon, you and Lin Jiangyue personally expressed that I am the two of you. The son-in-law of the family, this is something that the Tianxing Dynasty, which cooperates with Ji and Lin families, absolutely needs to pay attention to, and it is impossible to allow a second prince who is not yet the crown prince to act recklessly."
"The real reason that allows Sun Hua to attack me without any worries is that Sun Hua, or the Tianxing Dynasty has found another helper that they think is more reliable and powerful."
"In addition, as you just said, Lin Cen, the second son of the Lin family, and Wang Luo, the second son of the Wang family, have always been in the Loulan and Xuanqi dynasties. The Zhongli dynasty has no grudges against me at all, and the Xu family's main family is in Tiandu City. , whoever cooperates with the Tianxing Dynasty will be discovered immediately, so I don’t need to consider these forces."
"At the same time, I had an encounter with the Master of the Tanlang Hall of the Seven Kills Hall. From her, I learned that the Seven Kills Hall had very important things to do near Demon Slaying City recently. In addition to what you just said, I can then conclude that the people who are secretly uniting with the Tianxing Dynasty are evil spirits from the Heavenly Demon Realm who have the same plan as the Tianxing Dynasty and want to annex the entire continent and make it their own!"
Su You said with a cold face: "And I have reason to suspect that the demons from the Heavenly Demon Realm may have even taken the absolute initiative within the Tianxing Dynasty royal family!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and their eyes widened with expressions of disbelief and shock.
But no one stood up to refute Su You.
Because everyone made the same judgment as Su You based on what Su You said, and they all suspected that the Tianxing Dynasty was in cahoots with the evil spirits of the Demon Realm.
"Hmph! It's so abominable!"
Ji Hongzhuang immediately slammed the table, stood up and cursed angrily: "Are the people in the Tianxing Dynasty all a bunch of fools? Don't they know that people or things that get close to the evil spirits of the Demon Realm will not end well in the end? And they have never been willing to let go of the idea of unifying the continent. Does the Tianxing Dynasty like to see the scene of people being destroyed, everything being destroyed, and blood flowing everywhere? It is so abominable and hateful!"
"I will take people to arrest Sun Hua now!"
As she spoke, Ji Hongzhuang was eager to lead people to find Sun Hua and arrest him.
"Oh, don't be so excited."
Su You hurriedly spoke to dissuade him, and then said in Ji Hongzhuang's puzzled eyes: "I think what your brother is doing now is related to what we said. If this is really the case, your brother didn't even move. Sun Hua means that there is a great possibility that Sun Hua is just a puppet, just a tool used by the devil from the Demon Realm to hide his identity as a prince, but there are so many princes in the Tianxing Dynasty, you can catch a Sun Hua It’s useless. If the devil from the Demon Realm just abandons this puppet at the worst, it won’t be of much help to us or your big brother.”
"Then what are we going to do next?" Although Ji Hongzhuang was angry, she still couldn't help but obey Su You's dissuasion, sat back in her seat and pouted reluctantly, "Are we just going to let Sun Hua continue to be the emperor? Are the puppets of evil spirits walking around the continent?"
"of course not."
Su You comforted Ji Hongzhuang again, and then continued: "I just think that these things are not our turn to care about. I think since your eldest brother has contacted the Seven Kills Hall, it proves that the things here should be caused by the Seven Kills Hall." Sha Dian came to take charge, but the reason why Qi Sha Dian never took action was probably because he was waiting for Sun Hua to take the initiative to expose, and it was not to reveal his own identity, but to reveal how Sun Hua got in touch with the evil spirits of the Demon Realm. .”
"What you said makes sense." Ji Hongzhuang finally calmed down, "Then can we just wait?"
"At the moment, it seems we can only wait."
Su You smiled and said, "Not to mention that I can't stay here forever, so we'll just wait and see what happens. I believe your brother and the others will handle this matter well."
Su You then made it clear that he would leave Kaixie City and continue his journey north in a few days. He would not stay in Kaixie City, nor would he go back to Tiandu City with Ji Hongzhuang and Lin Jiangyue.
This time, Ji Hongzhuang unexpectedly did not act coquettishly or force Su You to stay. She just asked Su You not to forget the signed contract.
"I know, I won't forget."
Unexpectedly, Ji Hongzhuang would never forget to mention this matter. Su You dealt with it while leaving Ji's house and going back to the guest room in the inn.
After packing their luggage, the three of them waited to leave Kaixie City tomorrow and continued to follow the road to the north.
But the next day.
When Su You and his party were about to set off.
Song Yilan and Huang Chengming appeared in front of Su You again.
Su You felt a shiver in his heart. When he looked at Song Yilan and Huang Chengming who were approaching him, he felt something was not right. He always felt that Song Yilan came to the door because he had bad news to tell him.
