When Li Jiu found Wu Yue, he had already exited the dragon transformation state. The purple-haired black-robed man was dead. Wu Yue was dismantling the isolation formation set up here.

"It can barely be used once, so it can't be wasted." Wu Yue carefully cut off the connection between the formation stone and the energy crystal.

"Have you found out who is going to attack us?" Li Jiu asked.

"Not us, but you. I was affected." Wu Yue put away the formation stone.

"Jue Wushen has four sisters who look exactly the same. A long time ago, he sent his sisters to Hu Chi's house. Hu Chi took a fancy to them and took them in. The eldest of the four girls is named Jue Yan. After a long period of hard work, she became Hu Chi's wife and gained some power.

The four girls doted on Jue Wushen very much. They often gave him opportunities and asked Hu Chi to teach him. You killed Jue Wushen, so the four girls naturally hated you and wanted to kill you to avenge their brother, so there was today's crisis."

Wu Yue pointed to the purple-haired black-robed man who had already turned cold on the ground. "According to her, Hu Chi didn't know about it. All the plans were secretly arranged by Jue Yan. The person who executed the plan was the man you killed. Because Jue Yan had saved his life, he agreed to Jue Yan's request without Hu Chi's knowledge."

"Did Hu Chi really not know about it?" Li Jiu said.

"I was suspicious at first, but after my multiple interrogations, it seems that Hu Chi really didn't know. As for Zong Qi, he was also a pawn who accidentally became part of the plan."

Li Jiu smiled lightly, "It's equivalent to saving Zong Qi's life?"

"Almost. If Zong Qi hadn't been captured in the Demon Suppression Tower, he would probably look for Jiuying again, and then be killed by Jin Feiniao and Jiuying. That guy has some luck." Wu Yue said.

Zong Qi's growth experience is very similar to that of the legendary lucky people. When encountering danger, he can often accidentally avoid the crisis of certain death, and sometimes he can even benefit from the crisis.

Wu Yue hates such people because she herself is not such a person, so she hates them.

"No matter what, Hu Chi is going to be unlucky. Betraying the human race is not a trivial matter. This time, he will lose a layer of skin if he doesn't die."

The message was passed back, and the True Lord would take action without the Qinglong branch taking action.

A few hours later, the two returned to Qinglong City and immediately passed the news of Hu Chi's suspected betrayal.

The senior management of the Qinglong branch was furious. Hu Chi was the lord of Fengyun City, sitting in an important city, but he colluded with demons?

The news soon reached Zhenjun's ears. She was silent for a long time when she learned that Jiuying was a trap and Hu Chi was the mastermind behind it.

Then, the communication jade slip was connected.

"Hu Chi, you colluded with demons?" Zhenjun's voice was neither sad nor happy, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he didn't care at all.

Hu Chi, who was far away in Fengyun City, felt a little nervous. He had practiced with Zhenjun for nearly a hundred years and knew his master very well. When he was angry, he would not yell like ordinary people, but his tone was calm, just like the lake before the storm, without any abnormality, and could erupt at any time, setting off huge waves.

The more he knew Zhenjun, the more afraid he was of Zhenjun. Hu Chi was sweating profusely for a while, wondering who framed him.

"Master, it's impossible. I can swear to heaven that I have not colluded with demons! You know me well. I may not be a good person. I like to use some despicable means to trap and kill people, but I will never betray the human race! I also have a bottom line!

I am your disciple. How could I collude with demons?" Hu Chi said firmly. He had a clear conscience, so his words were simple and true.

"What's the matter with Jiuying? Why did your people kill Li Jiu? I always thought you were a little smart and should be able to see my intention to cultivate Li Jiu." Liuyun Zhenjun asked calmly.

Ah?

Jiuying?

Kill Li Jiu?

Hu Chi was stunned. When had he seen Jiuying?

"Master, I admit that I wanted to kill Li Jiu before because of the death of my senior brother. I wanted to avenge my senior brother and found him by accident. Since I learned that you passed the Tianqing Wood Dragon Sutra to Li Jiu, I gave up." Hu Chi answered honestly.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind and he thought of a possibility.

His wife! The four sisters of Jueyan!

They secretly attacked Li Jiu!

"Golden Feiniao! Come over here!" Hu Chi roared, and the sound spread far away.

The Golden Feiniao who used to come at any time did not appear, but the other guards heard the shouts and rushed to the hall waiting for orders.

Hu Chi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.

Damn it! Golden Feiniao actually went to work for Jue Yan! And he did it behind his back!

"Master, I will give you an explanation!" Hu Chi gritted his teeth.

"Step down, I will let Ding Qiankun take over your position." Liuyun Zhenjun deprived Hu Chi of the position of city lord with one word!

Fengyun City is not a small city. Sitting in the position of city lord, the cultivation resources harvested every year are a very huge number.

Hu Chi was a master before Ding Qiankun, and he was more sensible than Ding Qiankun. He said what he said to people and what he said to ghosts. Although his loyalty was a disguise, Hu Chi had been pretending for more than a hundred years, which was longer than an ordinary person's life.

So even though the True Lord knew that Hu Chi was a fake, he was willing to give Hu Chi a chance!

So, Hu Chi took the position of Fengyun City Lord.

Thanks to the abundant resources, Hu Chi's cultivation improved rapidly and surpassed some elders of the Qinglong branch.

Now that the position of city lord is gone, Hu Chi's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. He was unwilling and unconvinced, but the True Lord had an order, and he had to obey.

"Disciple understands." Hu Chi held the communication jade slip tightly, almost crushing it.

The jade slip was dim.

Hu Chi put away the jade slip expressionlessly, strode and rushed to his own palace.

In the luxurious palace, the four sisters of Jue Yan were tasting the cakes shipped from the imperial court. The four girls had the same face and figure, which were very perfect, like four works of art.

"Sister, is the plan successful?" asked the third sister.

"Why rush? As long as the demon slayer is eager for power, he will not miss the opportunity to subdue the king's war pet, and he will definitely take the bait." Jue Yan said lightly.

"Will there be any big problems if we cooperate with Jiuying behind your back?"

"What problems can there be? Li Jiu died in Jiuying's hands, and no one will doubt us. After a few years, we will tell you the whereabouts of Jiuying and let you subdue Jiuying. We will not only avenge you, but also add a fighting force to you. Maybe the Qinglong branch will thank us at that time." Jue Yan said.

Bang! The door broke!

Hu Chi stood in front of the door, his powerful aura spread, covering the whole palace, and forced the maids and servants to kneel on the ground.

"Jue Yan, I treat you well, don't I?" Hu Chi said in a deep voice.

He gave him resources if he wanted them, and whatever he wanted to eat, even if they were thousands of miles apart, he would ask his men to buy them back. He also agreed to help Jue Wu Shen get promoted, taught Jue Wu Shen how to do things, how to survive in the Qinglong branch, how to recruit his men with his reputation, etc.

It is no exaggeration to say that he completely treated Jue Wu Shen as his own apprentice.

His peers said he was hypocritical, but his feelings for the four Jue Yan sisters were absolutely true!
