The strength of the city lord is not weak, but after all, he controls such a huge town, and the auction is about to begin. Countless cultivators from all over the world come and go, and the people gathered here are even more numerous.

As the city lord, he must first maintain the stability of the town before he can go and find his daughter.

So, he sent a large number of subordinates to search.

However, Chen Daoxuan was a little curious.

Doesn't the city lord know that his daughter has a Breath-Sealing Bead on her?

"Let go of me!"

The small figure made a dissatisfied voice, pushing Chen Daoxuan's hand away. However, Chen Daoxuan's hand was like a pair of iron pliers, grabbing Zhou Qianxue by the back of her neck.

"Enough, stop struggling. You can't break free. Hurry up and come with me to the city lord's mansion."

"The city has been turned upside down these days in order to find you."

Chen Daoxuan said helplessly.

"I'm not going back, no matter what, I won't go back!"

Zhou Qianxue's struggle was not intense at first, but when she heard Chen Daoxuan's words, she exerted all her strength and desperately tried to break free from Chen Daoxuan's hand!

"Hmm? What are you trying to do?"

"Do you know how powerful and terrifying demonic cultivators are? Even your father may not be a match for powerful demonic cultivators. You, a rookie at the Foundation Building Rank One, will only be sending yourself to death when encountering demonic cultivators!"

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were captured by a demonic cultivator and used to blackmail your father? It would put your father in a dilemma!"

Chen Daoxuan was somewhat puzzled and didn't understand, so he didn't loosen his grip.

"I understand these reasons very well, but I have reasons that I must do!"

Zhou Qianxue gritted her teeth, stubbornly continuing to struggle.

"Even if you have reasons that you must do, you must have matching strength."

"What can you do like this?"

Chen Daoxuan frowned.

"You wouldn't understand! I can't just watch them die!"

Zhou Qianxue suddenly raised her head.

Although her makeup was ugly, through her dirty face, it could still be seen that Zhou Qianxue was beautiful.

With an oval face, watery eyes, delicate eyebrows, a refined nose, cherry-like lips, and in those slightly immature eyes, there was a firmness of determination.

"If you tell me the truth, I might consider not taking you to see your father."

Chen Daoxuan became even more curious.

"Last time when the demonic cultivator caused trouble, he injured some people and planted something on them. He also threatened that the next time he comes back, he will take them all away and turn them into puppets."

"I must protect them!"

Although Zhou Qianxue was young, she was very determined. She bit her silver teeth and stared at Chen Daoxuan without flinching.

"What did he plant on them?"

Chen Daoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly released his grip. "Take me to see them."

"No!"

Zhou Qianxue instinctively refused.

"You have been following me, seeking my help, right?"

"As an outsider, unfamiliar with the city, you were able to become friends with your uncle, and you seem to be wealthy and have good strength. Maybe you can help solve the trouble in front of you without alarming your father."

"Your choice is indeed not bad."

Chen Daoxuan immediately guessed what Zhou Qianxue was thinking.

"You...how did you know?"

Zhou Qianxue was very surprised.

"This is not important. How about this, as long as you take me to see them, I won't tell your father about this matter."

"Similarly, I may also have a way to cure their illnesses."

Chen Daoxuan had dealt with the Heavenly Demon Temple before, after all.

He had some understanding of their methods.

Chen Daoxuan also had a lot of demonic things on him.

Of course, Chen Daoxuan would never use demonic things to harm others. He only studied them to know his enemies and be invincible in battle.

"Alright, I'll trust you this time, but don't deceive me."

Zhou Qianxue clenched her fists tightly and shook them in a threatening manner.

"Don't worry, I won't."

Chen Daoxuan smiled.

"Okay, lead the way."

Zhou Qianxue led the way in front. After about half an hour, they passed through several bustling streets and finally arrived at a small alley. This alley was located on the outskirts of the city and consisted of small, old buildings. The people living here were like slum dwellers in the city.

Although they had the status of citizens, their lives were worse than villagers.

Passing through a narrow corridor, Zhou Qianxue skillfully passed through a small doorway. Chen Daoxuan also pushed the door and walked in. In an instant, his vision cleared.

This was like the outer ring of the entire city, with one dilapidated wooden house after another tightly packed together. Not far away was a tall city wall. Surprisingly, there were many courtyards here, growing corresponding vegetables and fruits.

Many people were busy inside.

Chen Daoxuan stood here, furrowing his brows and carefully observing. His gaze instantly locked onto a special aura not far away, which was becoming more and more intense.

Before Zhou Qianxue could lead the way, Chen Daoxuan walked in that direction.

"Wait for me, you don't even know where it is! Hey... how did you find it?"

Zhou Qianxue was originally a little angry, but she found that Chen Daoxuan had accurately found the house.

Chen Daoxuan pushed open the door.

A very peculiar smell suddenly wafted out.

Chen Daoxuan found it difficult to describe what this smell was like.

It was damp, rotten, foul, and had a unique scent.

As soon as the sunlight shone in, the people in the room instantly covered their eyes and frantically avoided it.

"Close the door!"

"Who are you!"

"Close the door, my eyes are almost blind!"

A noisy voice came.

"Don't worry, it's me."

Zhou Qianxue walked in from outside, comforting them, and then hurriedly closed the door. The emotions of the people in the room calmed down a bit.

"Xiao Zhou, who is this young man?"

The door next to them opened, and an old lady in her sixties or seventies, wearing an apron, tremblingly walked out. After seeing Chen Daoxuan, she didn't show much alertness, just looked him up and down with some confusion.

Although the appearance of a demonic cultivator seemed no different from an ordinary person on the surface.

But they were tainted with the aura of demonic cultivation. When encountering a demonic cultivator, there was a natural sense of awareness. However, this young man in front of them, who looked very young and had a righteous aura, had nothing to do with demonic cultivation.

"Don't be afraid, this is my friend. I invited him this time to help us see what's on everyone's bodies."

Zhou Qianxue hurriedly walked to the side and signaled a middle-aged man to take off his shirt. The middle-aged man didn't hesitate and tremblingly took off his shirt.

Chen Daoxuan focused his attention and looked intently.

After seeing the details clearly, his whole person instantly became furious, his brows furrowing tightly!

These damn bastards!

What exactly do they want to do?
