I feed the worms with my body, I am the evil demon

In the evening, the outline of a huge city appeared in Gu Xiu's eyes.

"Saibei City has arrived!"

After entering the city, Gu Xiu and Gu Nanfeng parted ways.

Walking on the bustling street, Gu Xiu lowered his bamboo hat and silently used his Heavenly Eye Technique.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, there are only three or four people who can clearly see their cultivation.

Immediately removing the Sky Eye Technique, Gu Xiu suppressed the aura on his body to the lowest level.

All monks have Qi-condensing spells. Without the Heavenly Eyes technique, their cultivation levels are so different that it is difficult to see clearly at a glance, unless you use your spiritual sense to carefully explore them.

However, this method is very taboo in the world of immortal cultivation. Using spiritual consciousness means declaring war, which may lead to endless trouble.

Unexpectedly, there would be so many monks in Saibei City. Gu Xiu did not dare to carelessly weave through the crowd and quickly found a secluded alley and got in.

In the narrow alley, half of a snow-white jade pendant appeared in Gu Xiu's hand. As a trace of magic power invaded, the jade pendant exuded a faint fluorescence.

"It is indeed in this city."

Hiding the jade pendant in his sleeves, Gu Xiu followed the direction and found an inn nearby to check in. He didn't look for it for the time being.

In the afternoon of the second day, Gu Xiu was awakened by a burst of noise. He opened the window and saw a group of soldiers wearing armor and swords running past. The ground shook.

After leaving the room, Gu Xiu asked a person watching the excitement: "Brother, what is going on?"

The man watching the excitement crossed his arms and said, "What else can happen? Someone tried to be a hero yesterday and offended the city lord's palace. I heard that it took 300 elite troops to capture it, and their heads were chopped off and hung on the city gate. Be a warning to others.”

Gu Xiu probably guessed who that person was, shaking his head and sighing.

It’s hard to be a hero!

…

There are four major areas in Saibei City: the east city is rich, the west city is expensive, the north city is poor, and the south city is cheap.

Among them, Nancheng is the most chaotic, where three religions and nine streams of gangs gather. The so-called good and bad are mixed together, so it is called "cheap".

In a deep and narrow alley in Nancheng, there is a small wine shop. Because of its high quality and low price, it is very popular with some working coolies and many other poor people.

In the evening, the wine shop was already full of people. The men were pumping their fists loudly after a long day's work, and the cups and plates on the table were in a mess.

After finding a remote corner and sitting down, Gu Xiu's eyes gradually turned blue. He used his clairvoyance to check the place inside and out, but there was nothing unusual.

The restaurant is small, with only a few tables and chairs and is very noisy. The owner is a woman with a withered face, a plain-looking girl and a tall, dull man.

The dull man had a lot of energy and blood, and was obviously a martial artist with advanced martial arts skills.

Under Gu Xiutian's eyesight, the girl's face was completely exposed.

At this time, the "ordinary-looking" girl put the wine and food on Gu Xiu's table with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please use it with caution."

Gu Xiu nodded, looked at the girl's back and whispered softly: "Found it."

Half of the jade pendant in his arms has faded, and the girl also has half of it.

It can be said that Xu Ziqi is quite infatuated. As a monk, it would be easy for him to return to the secular world if he wanted to have a rich family, numerous wives and children.

Even though an ordinary rich man has three wives and four concubines, Xu Ziqi only married one wife, had two children, and a little wealth, and that was it.

Now that he had found it, Gu Xiu was not in a hurry. He sipped the delicious wine and waited quietly.

…

The dusk crow is carrying the setting sun to the west, and the stars are setting in the city. Looking back at the sky, I can't see the way I came.

There were five people gathered in a courtyard, two of them were wearing blue and white robes, and the other three were wearing light white robes and carrying magic swords on their backs.

The leader of them was a man in his forties, named Ye Yi, a disciple of the Qixia Sect. He was slender and handsome, and his eyes were cold as he glanced at the crowd.

"According to the records of the Xunshou Hall, the Foundation-Building Demonic Cultivator who attacked and killed my Qixia Sect disciple not long ago is now hiding in the city lord's palace."

"What a demon cultivator. He dares to hide in the territory under the jurisdiction of our Qixia Sect before returning to the Demonic Origin. He is quite courageous."

"At that time, he was almost killed by the sword of the inner sect's Senior Brother Wu. Now I'm afraid he has fallen into decline, otherwise he wouldn't be hiding in the city lord's mansion and relying on that giant bandit to find a healer for him."

"Let me see, even that giant bandit Pang Longyun was killed. If you dare to harbor a demon cultivator, you are seeking death."

Ye Yi raised his hand and pressed down, "Pang Longyun doesn't need us to take action. Someone will take care of him. No matter whether this demon has fallen into trouble or not, you junior brothers still need to treat it with caution."

"We will bear in mind your senior brother's teachings." Four Qixia Sect monks replied in unison.

"Without further delay, I will make the following arrangements. Sun Xiao, Song Wuque, and Lin Yun, you three will hold the formation flags to guard all exits of the city lord's mansion."

"It's an order."

"As for Junior Brother Chu Xing, he will follow me to attack and kill the demon cultivator."

The young man named Chu Xing cupped his hands and said, "Chu Xing takes the order."

Except for Ye Yichuxing, a foundation-building monk among the five, the other three are all high-level Qi refiners.

The five people concealed their presence and headed towards the west of the city.

At the same time, in a huge and splendid city lord's palace in the west of the city, Pang Longyun opened a hidden secret door. He was tall, with a square face and a beard. He was walking into the secret room with a smile on his face.

The dark secret room slowly lit up with a faint yellow light. Pang Longyun lowered his majestic body and said with a smile: "Master Immortal, are you satisfied with this time?"

In the shadow in the distance, there is a huge rosewood bed. Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed is a middle-aged man wearing a black robe. This man has a sinister aura and a faint light of blood lingering all over his body.

There are several withered and naked corpses beside this person. It is not difficult to see from these withered corpses that they were definitely young girls.

The black-robed man slowly opened his eyes, and the blood-red in his eyes disappeared in an instant. He stared at Pang Longyun with a playful smile.

"Yes, but it's not enough."

Pang Longyun immediately bowed, "Yes, yes, please rest assured, Master, we will send someone to look for it tomorrow."

Hearing this, the black-robed man waved his hand, "Forget it, don't make any big moves in the near future to avoid trouble."

Then, the man threw out a black porcelain bottle, "You don't have spiritual roots, this medicine can allow you to temporarily gain the power of a cultivator. Don't worry, following me will not let you suffer, and I will accept you as a registered disciple when my cultivation is restored."

Pang Longyun took the porcelain bottle and was ecstatic as if he was looking at a treasure. He knelt down and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Master."

"Well, go down."

As the secret door slowly closed, Pang Longyun straightened his back and felt a little proud. He was already imagining that he could fly into the sky and hide in the ground.

Just when he was in an irresistible fantasy, Ye Yi and Chu Xing had quietly sneaked into the mansion.

…

It was getting darker, and many tables in the tavern were empty. Gu Xiu was the only one sitting in the corner, drinking slowly, and he didn't seem to leave.

The dull man who had cleaned up the table frowned slightly, and the girl walked up to Gu Xiu first, with a polite smile: "Sir, our store is about to close, please forgive me."

Putting down the wine bowl, Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You have a good face and some skills."

At the moment when Gu Xiu said this, the dull man who was originally standing in the same place, burst out a stream of energy under his feet and came to Gu Xiu as fast as the wind, and punched him directly.

Gu Xiu, who had been prepared, raised his palm to catch the powerful punch, and the dishes on the table were shattered by this powerful energy.

A magical power was supported by Gu Xiu's hand, and the dull man was bounced away, knocking down several tables and chairs in succession before he stabilized his body.

…

The moon was setting, and the deep alley was silent. Occasionally, a few dog barks broke this short peace.

"Uncle Mute!" The girl quickly ran to the dumb man and held him up, then glared at Gu Xiu.

"Yes, this physique has learned the essence of Xu Ziqi's armored school."

As soon as these words came out, the dumb man who was originally furious suddenly turned red-eyed. He stopped the girl behind him and kept hesitating and saying something, but he couldn't say it and was sweating profusely.

At this time, the withered woman who had been at the counter came over slowly, "Okay, Abao, don't panic."

The woman looked at Gu Xiu without any fear, "May I ask who you are? What is your relationship with my husband?"

Gu Xiu walked up, tapped his toes at a place, and four earth-yellow formation flags disappeared into the ground, and the door of the wine shop closed with a bang.

He took out half of the jade pendant and put it in his hand, then bowed and said: "Gu Xiu, meet the master's wife."
