Outside Ximen City, at the ruined temple.
Bailizhou, who had just woken up, saw Ye Bai's face staring at him, which frightened him so much that he instinctively retreated.
It wasn't until he retreated to the broken Buddha statue that Bailizhou came back to his senses. The place he was in seemed to be in the suburbs.
After noticing Ye Bai again, he immediately wanted to use his spiritual power, but suddenly found that his spiritual power seemed to be blocked and could not be used, and he was horrified in his heart.
"Okay, now you understand your situation to some extent. I will ask you questions next and advise you not to think nonsense. We still know something based on the information we have." Ye Bai shook his finger and reminded. .
People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat. Bailizhou knew that he could only cooperate if he wanted to survive. He didn't know how many things the other party had mastered, but he could summon more than a dozen monks here. He must have some means, so he didn't dare to lie.
"You cut off the peak half a month ago and took away a batch of goods. Do you still have an impression?" Ye Bai went straight to the point.
"Yes, it turns out you were here for that batch of goods. If that's the case, we don't have to do this at all. If you let me go, I will immediately arrange to deliver the batch of goods, and at the same time send a batch of spiritual stones to apologize. What do you think?"
Pa~
"Don't you understand what it means for me to ask and you to answer? When will it be your turn to ask me."
Ye Bai's slap stunned Bailizhou. He had never suffered such a loss in all the years he had been living in Bohai City. He immediately wanted to take action, but then he thought of his own predicament and clenched his fists helplessly.
"Where are Gao Feng and that batch of goods now?" Ye Bai saw that he was being honest and continued to ask.
"That man named Gao Feng is dead. The goods are in the Nanshan Mine. There is a special place for storing goods inside the mine." Bailizhou informed clearly.
"Why did you intercept that shipment? Did you do it yourself or was someone ordered you to do it?"
"We two brothers planned this together. The main reason was that the batch of goods contained the three-turn polymorph pill that we urgently needed, so we got greedy and took action."
"I see."
Ye Bai suddenly realized that this three-turn polymorphic elixir was used to break through the golden elixir realm, and killing people and grabbing treasures was just to get the elixir that broke through the realm.
"Who told you about the elixir? Have you used the elixir yet?" Ye Bai then asked.
"Well, we bribed a follower named Li Qiang, but he is dead now, and the people who escorted this shipment are no longer here. As for the elixir, my eldest brother plans to collect a high-grade elixir, and then go to retreat to break through. In this way, with the help of the powerful spiritual power flow after the breakthrough, the speed of absorbing Dansha will be much faster."
Seeing how honest Bailizhou was, Ye Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I've asked you what you need to ask. Now let's talk about how you can survive?"
"Master, as long as you say something, I will absolutely comply with it."
Bailizhou could see that this boy definitely had something to do on his own, so he should stabilize him first, and when he got out, he would know what a local snake was, and still greet him with a smile on the outside.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm tracking this batch of goods, so I need your help, but I'm worried about you going out like this, so you understand."
After speaking, Ye Bai took out a blood-red pill and placed it in front of Bailizhou. The meaning was self-evident.
Bailizhou struggled with his eyes, and finally he was heartbroken and swallowed it. He knew that if he didn't swallow this thing, he wouldn't be able to survive tonight if both sides were torn apart.
"Okay, my matter is settled. Now let's change someone to interrogate you."
Ye Bai stepped aside with a smile, and Ziyu came out from behind the Buddha statue with the Qianhuan mask that Xiya lent her.
"In addition to the forces on the surface, how much strength has the City Lord's Mansion secretly accumulated? What is Xiong Qianshan's current state? Where are the sea heart stones that you two brothers have secretly swallowed in the mines over the years?"
Three questions in a row made Bailizhou's forehead drip with sweat unconsciously. This person's face was unfamiliar to her, but he could ask these three questions. He must be from Bohai City. It was obvious that he was disguised and didn't want others. Knowing that it wants to take action against the city lord Xiong Qianshan.
"Isn't your question going to kill me? Once the city lord finds out, I will definitely be worse than dead with his methods."
Bailizhou regretted taking the elixir now. He even guessed that the reason why Ye Bai didn't ask him about the City Lord's Mansion just now was because he was afraid that he would not cooperate and take the elixir.
Hiss~
While Bailizhou was still thinking about how to deal with it, Zi Yu's palms released blood-red spiritual power, and then there were bursts of severe pain in his Dantian, as if something was gnawing at his internal organs, which was huge. Sweat dripped down, and he was rolling on the ground in severe pain.
"I have planted a bloodthirsty Gu in your body. If you don't tell me, you will be worse than dead now."
Seeing Zi Yu's spiritual power dissipate and the worms in his stomach stop tossing, Bailizhou exhaled tiredly.
"This kind of thing is mainly left to Zuo Lin to take care of. The city lord was in the late stage of Jindan five years ago, and there is no possibility of any changes now. As for the sea heart stone that my two brothers swallowed privately, they would have been traded with Tianxiang Pavilion, otherwise With my qualifications, it is impossible for me to reach the late stage of foundation building so quickly."
Bailizhou was too lazy to quibble anymore, and even laughed at himself at the end.
"Tianxiang Pavilion? The last time you went to the fifth floor, you were going to trade. So it was just a pretense to come to see Miss Longyue." Ye Bai suddenly thought of noticing Bailizhou going to the fifth floor tonight. .
"Not entirely. It's true that I like Haoyue. As for tonight, I did go to trade with the master of Tianxiang Pavilion. And you'd better let me go back in advance. I can't disappear for too long. What have we done? It's all under the control of the city lord." Bailizhou pointed at it.
"It seems that your Nanhai Gang cannot gain the trust of this city lord. According to what you said, Xiong Qianshan should know that you are greedy for a lot of things, so why didn't he do anything to you?" Ye Bai asked with interest.
"The superiors always turn a blind eye. If the people below are not greedy at all, then they will be suspicious. Moreover, he does not know how much we have taken. After all, no one can do anything about it. The warehouse in the mining area Only my two brothers know about it, and the people he sent only know a little bit about it." Bailizhou smiled proudly.
"We don't need to hide anymore. To be honest, before you came out, I thought you just wanted to find the peak. But the question you just asked, plus the fact that you can bring more than a dozen people in the late stage of Qi training, this area Apart from the Abandoned Son Gang, I can't think of anyone else, are you right? Ziyu." Bailizhou sneered.
Zi Yu lifted off Qian Huan's mask, revealing that calm face.
"I don't intend to hide it from you. After all, I plan to ask you brothers to join us except Xiong Qianshan. I think you hate him no less than I do. You were too timid before and no one forced you. You won't take action, now the opportunity has come." Zi Yu said calmly.
"Opportunity? What opportunity? You don't think that just a few of us can really kill that old thief, do you?" After Bailizhou knew Zi Yu's identity, he simply stopped pretending and called Xiong Qianshan the old thief.
"Of course we can't stop it, but I heard that the Litian Secret Realm will be opened in five years." Zi Yu said softly.
"What does the opening of the Litian Secret Realm have to do with us killing him?" Bailizhou wondered.
"There is an infant fruit in the Litian secret realm. It is a necessary elixir for refining the Infant Transformation Pill. He cannot give up. Secondly, this secret realm can only be entered by foundation-building monks. He can only arrange for us to enter. With his suspicious character, he can't give up." I will definitely wait for us to come out at the scene. When the time comes, I plan to use the Yingguo to let other Jindan monks on the field attack him, kill each other, and take the opportunity to seize the Soul Flag. Only in this way can we completely get rid of his control." Zi. The words explained the plan.
Bailizhou thought carefully for a while and found that this method was indeed good. Even if it couldn't kill Xiong Qianshan, it would be fine as long as he was seriously injured.
"Okay, I will tell brother about this. I will give you the other batch of goods here tomorrow night, but you must also remove the poisonous insects in my body." Bailizhou looked at Ye Bai.
"After getting the goods, my mission is completed. You can ask Zi Yu for the rest. I won't interfere." Ye Bai leaned aside, indicating that he was not interested in what happened next.
"The trip to the secret realm is over, I promise to get rid of the bloodthirsty Gu." Zi Yu promised.
Bailizhou nodded helplessly. After all, he was too passive in his current situation and had no leverage to compete with the opponent.
After several people happily reached an agreement, Bailizhou also left the ruined temple safely.
"Have you ever trusted him?" Ye Bai asked, looking at Bailizhou's leaving figure.
"I only know one thing, he is afraid of death! But in case something unexpected happens, I will prepare some back-ups, and I must get the soul flag." Zi Yu looked at the black forest in front of him and whispered.
"What is the Living Soul Flag? Do you mean that Xiong Qianshan controls you with this thing?" Ye Bai asked confused.
"Our story is a bit long, are you interested in hearing it?
Ziyu found a stone slab and sat down, while Ye Bai also became interested and sat on the floor, looking at each other, ready to listen.
"Although Bohai City was a bit miserable originally, it was able to survive in peace. Since Xiong Qianshan took office thirty years ago, everything has changed.
"He pretends to be a good old man and confuses the people here, telling them that he can provide them with food and clothing for the rest of their lives. As long as they are willing to give their children to him for training, he will give them enough spiritual stones to squander."
Ziyu paused at the end, and his originally calm eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
"At first, only a few were willing, but later I found out that giving children to Xiong Qianshan could really get a large number of spiritual stones. It even evolved into everyone earning spiritual stones by giving birth to children."
"But how do they know that they have personally sent their children into the dark abyss? Maybe they also know it, but the interests have made these people crazy and the city has become sick."
Ziyu's words made Ye Bai shocked. Tiger poison does not eat its seeds. This reminded him of the woman he met when he first entered the city. Not everyone is like this.
"After Xiong Qianshan got the child, he used the Soul Flag to pull out a trace of the child's soul. From now on, life and death will all depend on Xiong Qianshan's thoughts."
"And my physique is not bad, but I was sold for 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
Ziyu said everything calmly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. However, under that cold face, there might be a numb and desolate heart hidden, and the outline of happiness on her face could no longer be seen. .
Ye Bai just listened quietly without saying anything, which made the cool night feel a little softer.
