Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Looking back on it this way, I realized that I was indeed careless. When I thought that at my age I was not as experienced as a young man, and that I had lost my sense of propriety in my words and actions, I felt very upset and suffocated for a moment.

Not to mention the eyes of those watching the show from the side.

"Ahem, this city lord just wants to take a closer look at that guy."

He forced an explanation, and as for whether Yue Hu believed it or not, she could tell by looking at her eyes.

"So what should we do next? Since he knows we are behind him, even though he hasn't discovered us, what can we do if we hide here?"

In order to change the subject and dispel the awkwardness, Zhu Qian quickly brought up the topic, but he received an indescribable gaze again.

The look seemed the same as before, strange and scrutinizing, as if saying, are you really in the Spirit Transformation Stage and have you lived for thousands of years?

"Well, what this city lord means is that with so many of us, we may catch him at any time. With such overwhelming strength, it seems unnecessary to hide like this... Even if we have the initiative, if I am not mistaken, you deliberately let him go just now. Why do you need to do this with such strength?"

"Since the city lord knows that we deliberately let him go, then you should be able to guess why we let him go."

Hearing Keqing's question, Zhu Qian frowned slightly.

"Are you trying to find the person behind him? But this is just your guess. Even if my son was possessed by someone else, he was just a shameless evil cultivator. There are not so many evil cultivators."

Their Qingcang City is one of the big cities in Huangzhou. Even if there are one or two evil cultivators, it is not uncommon. Even evil cultivators need to work together to resist the fallen beasts. As long as they disguise themselves well and are not discovered, they will more or less go to big cities as their address instead of living in the wilderness.

Therefore, Zhu Qian was very curious as to why Keqing and the others felt that there were other evil cultivators behind Feng'er. Could it be that their sense of justice had erupted and they wanted to use the evil cultivators' network of relationships to destroy the other evil cultivators?

After all, even if an evil cultivator can cultivate to this level, there will be many of his kind. Evil cultivators are human beings, and they also cannot do without the company of their kind.

Zhu Qian looked at Keqing with complicated eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"It seems that you, as the city lord, don't have much control over Qingcang City."

"What does this fellow Taoist mean by this?"

The one who spoke was Yun Xin. She looked at Zhu Qian, her eyes leisurely gazing into the distance.

"According to my investigation, the aura of Qingcang City is not simple, and there are many evil cultivators hiding in the City Lord's Mansion like you, the Second Young Master, and there are also some outside. It's just that the source of that aura is deeply hidden and only a few clues are left. Do you think the evil cultivators of Qingcang City have nothing to do with your City Lord's Mansion and the Second Young Master?"

"How is it possible!? Be careful with your words, fellow Taoist!"

Zhu Qian lost his voice.

"We in Qingcang City practice the righteous way. How could we resort to such evil means to commit evil?"

"That's why I say you've failed in your duties as city lord."

Yue Hu sneered and glanced at him.

"No, look at that person. Do you know him?"

Following Yue Hu's gesture, Zhu Qian on the side looked in the direction of her sight and was shocked.

"How could it be you!"

Zhu Qian lost his voice, but this time his voice came out without any concealment, and was discovered by the evil cultivator without any surprise.

"So you are here... Oh, so our city lord is here too..."

The figure hanging in the air behind Zhu Feng was stunned when he saw Zhu Qian, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he understood, and his gaze swept towards Keqing and others beside Zhu Qian.

"Is this the outsider you were talking about who was following you?"

Countless figures in black robes suddenly appeared in the empty space. Many of them had strong auras, and the one in the lead had even stronger aura.

Even deeper.

It turned out that Zhu Feng was anxious because he couldn't call Keqing and the others no matter how hard he tried.

He knew that someone was following him, and he also knew that the hateful woman let him go on her own initiative. Since they were so generous, he took the opportunity to escape. During this period, he was worried that there was someone following him, and he was even 90% sure that someone was following him.

So for a while he deliberately took a detour and delayed time. At the same time he practiced the people behind him to pick him up and made some preparations.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Haha, we are all smart people. Since the other party let him go, how could he not know what they were thinking?

Whether they knew his identity or wanted to catch the people behind him, the hostility between the two sides is undoubtedly unreconcilable.

In this case, it depends on who is the prey and who is the hunter.

Therefore, on the way of escape, he turned left and right, delayed for a long time, and finally reached the destination, where the formation had been set up as he had indicated in his communication.

As long as he could show that he knew they were following him, called them out, and allowed them to enter the formation carelessly, he would be halfway to success and invincible.

But how could he have expected that Keqing and the others were so cautious that they did not show up at all because of his incompetent rage. No matter how he tricked them, they rarely showed up.

Since it rarely appears, the formation naturally cannot be activated, and the original arrangement is no longer effective.

Keqing: I am not a fool. I just need to trick her a few times. When I find that there is no one here, I stay where I am and don't want to leave. I keep shouting and roaring there, which clearly proves that there is some arrangement here.

Keqing actually had some guesses in her mind. Either there was a trap or a formation set up waiting for them, otherwise Zhu Feng would not be able to stand there so "calmly".

In that case, she was prepared and not in a hurry. Sister Yuehu and the others should have noticed it as well, so they teased Zhu Qian leisurely and were not in a hurry.

It was not known whether City Lord Zhu Qian was too anxious or had been in a high position in Qingcang City for too long, but he did not show any caution and instead seemed a little reckless, which exposed their hiding place and they were discovered all of a sudden.

Once the aura leaked out, the original concealment technique naturally became ineffective.

The opponent seemed to be quite strong and immediately discovered the flaw.

"How could it be you! Could it be that what they said is true, that Feng'er has already been possessed by another spirit and has become an evil cultivator!"

Zhu Qian stared closely at the sudden voice and spoke sternly.

"Oh? You also know about the evil cultivators. It seems that they told you, right? It seems that you are not simple people..."

The man's expression changed slightly. He originally thought that Zhu Feng had offended some kind of person and was worried that his identity would be revealed, so he was ready to take action to eliminate the traces. However, he never expected that his identity had already been revealed?

He lowered his head, his eyes slightly closed, and looked at Zhu Feng.

"No, it wasn't me! I didn't use any evil methods from the beginning to the end!"

Zhu Feng trembled all over and raised his hand quickly.

"I don't know how they found out, but I can guarantee that I definitely didn't use any evil methods!"

Zhu Feng trembled all over and broke out in a cold sweat. The piercing gaze that fell on him instantly aroused his desire to survive.

"It seems that it is not you..."

The man also nodded, retracted his gaze, and looked at Keqing and others again.

Zhu Feng knew that, apart from anything else, he was very good at hiding his aura, otherwise he would not have remained in the City Lord's Mansion without being discovered for so many years.

Since it's not his problem, then... the blame is directed at these outsiders.

"How did you find out? I know this guy. The technique he practices can hide his aura. Logically, you shouldn't be able to find it. Even I can hardly detect it."

"Come to think of it, a few disobedient little creatures have disappeared recently. Could it be you who did this?"

His voice was as deep as an ancient well, and carried an invisible sense of oppression.

Keqing focused her attention slightly, feeling the unfathomable aura from the other person, with a serious expression.

He is actually a powerful Void Refining expert. No wonder Zhu Feng is so relaxed and contented. Is this his confidence?

however……

Does he think he is the only one who has the confidence?

She didn't say anything, but just looked at this powerful Void Refining expert who suddenly appeared. The two looked at each other, and their eyes crossed, as if they could stir up the flash of swords and sabers.

No one spoke, but the atmosphere at the scene was as dark as the night, deep and heavy.

Chapter 731: The Secret of the Zhu Family

"You haven't answered my question yet! Suzuo!"

An angry shout broke out from the suppressed silence, and Zhu Qian roared angrily.

Keqing, who was standing by, was startled and looked at him subconsciously.

Why are you so loud?

On the other side, the man in a jet-black suit, with three-dimensional facial features and slightly raised eyebrows, looked in the direction of the voice and then his eyes fell on Zhu Qian with a calm expression.

"What is there to say? Didn't you see it all?"

He smiled coldly, narrowed his eyes, and acted like a scoundrel.

"Obviously, I am an evil cultivator."

"Why are you doing this?" Zhu Qian's eyes widened, and it was obvious that he didn't understand. "The family hasn't treated you unfairly, why do you have to practice evil methods!"

Hearing Zhu Qian say this, the man's oppression suddenly became low, like ink.

His black eyes looked at Zhu Qian with a hint of sarcasm.

"I haven't been treated unfairly. Haha, do you believe that?" He crossed his arms over his chest. "Ask your conscience, has the family really not treated me unfairly?"

"That old guy found the Dragon Blood Crystal and kept it for himself. He didn't even give me a penny for a trade. This is what you call unfair treatment!"

"How do you know..." Zhu Qian asked subconsciously, and then subconsciously glanced at Keqing and the others. It was obvious that he was afraid that Keqing would know about the Dragon Blood Crystal.

But Zhu Qian had no idea that she already knew it.

"Tsk, what? Are you worried about being found out?"

The man curled his lips slightly.

"That's right. Even our family members are reluctant to give it to others, so how could they let outsiders know about it? After all, it's a whole mountain of dragon blood..."

"Lingsheng!"

Zhu Qian interrupted the other party's narration with a scolding. Linglan was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly.

"You are still as hypocritical as ever. However, you are so hypocritical that I'm afraid it's hard for you to understand why Zhu Feng also became an evil cultivator, right?"

He looked at Zhu Feng.

"Why, do you want to kill your own son for the sake of justice? After all, your son is also an evil cultivator, there is no doubt about that."

Lingsheng was ready to watch, as if he wanted to see Zhu Qian make a fool of himself, but Zhu Qian's eyes were cold.

"So what? He's not my son."

"How could you be so cold-hearted! You are willing to abandon even your own son, or is it that the only person you care about is your eldest son, the bloodline of you and Ji Yuan?"

Ling Sheng, who originally wanted to see a joke, was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect Zhu Qian to give a decisive answer.

"He is just an evil cultivator who has taken over another's body. How can he be worthy of my Zhu Qian bloodline!"

Zhu Qian looked at Zhu Feng with indifference, while Ling Sheng looked surprised.

“You actually knew! How did you know…” He turned his eyes and then looked at Keqing and the others, “It’s you!”

His eyes were slightly narrowed, like a poisonous tongue hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike, making people feel cold all over.

Keqing blinked and didn't answer. She didn't know what to say.

She just wanted to ask when the two of you would stop talking nonsense and whether you were waiting for help.

Seeing that Keqing didn't say anything, Lingsheng snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Zhu Feng.

"waste!"

At this time, Zhu Feng was also scared. He didn't expect Zhu Qian to say this and give up on him so quickly. He quickly shouted to explain: "Dad, don't be fooled. I am your son. How could I be possessed by someone else? You watched me grow up with your own eyes!"

"I have no choice. If Elder Ling hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have become an evil cultivator and practiced evil methods!"

"Dad, you can't..."

"Shut up!"

Zhu Qian looked at him coldly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. At the same time, a cold light flashed past and slashed towards Zhu Feng quickly. He actually wanted to kill Zhu Feng directly and decisively.

Seeing this, Ling Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and tried to block it. A black knife light appeared out of thin air and gathered into a black blade, which directly cut off the cold light.

Under the attack of both sides, they cancel each other out invisibly!

Zhu Feng was also startled by the sudden attack and stumbled to the ground!

"Tsk! How could you be so cruel? Even if I took over your body, I have been with you for hundreds of years. This is so cold-blooded."

"The evil cultivators will be punished if they are found."

Zhu Qian sighed slightly.

"Lingsheng, it's not too late to regret..."

Seeing that Ling Sheng did not answer and looked at him coldly with disdain, Zhu Qian shook his head helplessly, then whispered.
