The Dragon from Hell

Hearing that Qin Feng asked this question, Master Gui was relieved at first.

Fortunately, Qin Feng's question really had nothing to do with the Imperial Master's Mansion, but at the same time he frowned, because even this question was not easy to answer.

However, Qin Feng had already got the answer he wanted when he was silent.

If it was true as the outside world said, the first generation of the city lord had died long ago, then Master Gui would not have to remain silent.

He has lived for seven hundred years, and has been working for the City Lord's Mansion. Even if he is not a core figure, he must have some understanding and speculation about the City Lord's Mansion.

"It seems that my question is the answer." Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Qin Feng took the initiative to help him skip this topic, and even added: "If I am not mistaken, the first city lord was indeed harmed by someone, but he did not die. He has been alive all these years, but has been imprisoned."

"The subsequent so-called city lord replacements are just substitutes. In fact, the one who really holds power in the city lord's mansion of the entire Anle City is the city lord's wife, right?"

The more Qin Feng spoke, the tighter the brows of this ghost master frowned.

"Okay, ghost master, stop frowning. If you keep frowning like this, your eyebrows will be knotted." Qin Feng waved his hand and did not continue to dwell on this topic. After all, the next question is the key point.

"The second question."

Seeing that Qin Feng already knew the answer to the first question without saying anything, and guessed more things, the ghost master's face became more and more ugly.

The man in front of him not only has a complicated background, but he must also control his every move in front of him, otherwise he is likely to know more.

"Is our city lord's wife related to Lin Qi, who was famous in Wanchao Sect back then? And is the first city lord the little disciple next to Lin Qi?"

Before coming here, Le Zheng Yujing said that the outside world was not unaware of the Wanchao Sect's affairs.

It's just that Master Gui is just a casual cultivator. Yang Xiao is not sure whether he fell from the immortal gate or cultivated in the mortal world, nor is he sure whether this "outside world" includes the mortal world.

After all, the immortal gate seems to care about its reputation both before and after.

Fortunately, Master Gui did not disappoint Qin Feng. As soon as he heard the word "Lin Qi", his face changed.

Although he has tried his best to control himself, the questions Qin Feng asked are always beyond his imagination.

Seeing his expression, Qin Feng didn't want to wait for his answer. Instead, he stared at his eyes and asked: "So, it was Lin Qi and that disciple who created Anle City?"

"When the existence of the mermaids was discovered, was the first city lord really as the outside world said, because he wanted to practice, he led people to use the treasures given by the mermaids to go to the mermaids' Dragon Kingdom to capture the mermaids and sell them as commodities?"

"Is it him? Or is it actually Lin Qi who did this?"

"Did Lin Qi use him, or was he simply used as a puppet by Lin Qi?"

"Now that he is still alive, is he still in the city lord's mansion?"

Qin Feng's questions came one after another. In fact, Master Gui didn't answer any of them. Under Qin Feng's questioning, he always kept a very ugly face.

When Qin Feng stopped, he finally had the chance to speak: "My dear guest, the three questions you asked are too many now, aren't they?"

Qin Feng also stopped to take a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Too many? But I didn't break the deal, after all, you haven't answered any of my questions so far. You only need to choose three questions to answer me, right?"

Ghost Master did not answer, but Qin Feng had already got everything he wanted from his expression and reaction.

Ghost Master himself knew it well, but he couldn't find any fault.

In silence, Qin Feng finished his tea, stood up, put the black sword on his back and planned to leave: "Forget it, since Master Gui doesn't want to answer, then our deal can be cancelled. Now I will confirm one thing with you for the last time, is Yue Ji in Penglai Pavilion or in the City Lord's Mansion?"

He will not betray the people who cooperate with him. Since Yue Ji was captured because of him, even if she is just an illusion, Qin Feng will not let her end up in a tragic end in the illusion.

Master Gui looked up and met Qin Feng's extremely serious face. He didn't look like he was joking.

"Are you...really going to save Yue Ji?" Master Gui was silent for a while, as if he had figured something out, and asked.

"Of course." Qin Feng nodded: "Yue Ji was punished for helping me, so I naturally have to save her."

Seeing that Qin Feng didn'tAs if he wanted to say something, Master Ghost suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect that after so many years, there is still someone who can treat mermaids as human beings..."

Qin Feng didn't know what he meant now, was it mockery or emotion?

But Master Ghost didn't mean to explain to him: "Don't worry, Yue Ji's punishment will not threaten her life."

"Every year, the City Lord's Mansion needs to use the blood of a mermaid as a sacrifice for the sacrifice."

"But now there are fewer and fewer mermaids. Even if they want to use mermaid blood, they won't really kill her. At most, they will cut their wrists and bleed."

"After it's used up, the City Lord's Mansion will return her."

"After that, she can continue to live in Anle City. But if you go to save her today, she may really die."

Master Ghost spoke earnestly, as if he really wanted to persuade Qin Feng not to take risks.

Qin Feng stared at him for a while, and finally left Penglai Pavilion without saying anything.

After returning to the inn, he immediately found A Liu and A Shun and asked about this matter.

A Liu's statement was the same as that of the ghost master: "It is true. Every year during the Anle Festival, a mermaid will be taken to bleed."

"In the beginning, there were mermaids who were bled to death, but later there were no more. At most, some blood was taken from their wrists..."

"By the way, A Shun went there the year before last."

A Shun also nodded, explaining that he was indeed selected the year before last, and was blindfolded and sent all the way there, and his ears and mouth were blocked.

But he felt that someone cut his wrists, took some blood, and quickly put him back to Penglai Pavilion.

After getting a positive answer, Qin Feng was relieved.

"Mr. Qin, why do you suddenly ask this? Is it my sister..."

"No, your sister is fine." Qin Feng interrupted her and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, nothing will happen after tomorrow."
