Chapter 256: Evil Spirit, Magic
Xu Qingye opened his mouth, unable to utter a word of rebuttal for a long time.
"Dad, Second Uncle, how long have you...been working with the demons?"
After a while, he uttered a word with difficulty.
The old man glared at him and said, "Why do you care how long we have been cooperating? Now that Master Xuanying is dead, our Jingcheng is finished. The demon's revenge will not be as simple as a few lives. Hurry up and pack your things. We, the Liehuomen, have to withdraw first."
The old man's name is Xu Huairen, and he is Xu Qingye's second uncle.
His second uncle was named Xu Huaide, and he was the previous city lord.
The two of them are the leader and the chief elder of our Liehuo Sect, and they are in charge of Jingcheng.
Xu Huairen stared at Xu Qingye, as if he wanted to teach him a lesson, but there were many servants around him, and Qiao Feng and Dongfang Bai were also in the hall.
He endured it, walked past Xu Qingye and went towards Qiao Feng and the other man.
"You two are both Saint Realm masters who killed Lord Xuanying, but you are not welcome in Jingcheng. Please leave."
Xu Huairen said coldly.
Qiao Feng and Dongfang Bai stood up and looked at each other.
These two people have bad intentions.
However, such strength really made Qiao Feng have no intention of arguing with him.
"This is the first time I've seen someone working with a demon."
Qiao Feng said.
Xu Huairen asked, "Why? Otherwise, how do you think we can save the lives of the people in this city?"
Qiao Feng smiled and said, "If you made this choice out of helplessness, I can understand the hardship involved, but how do you explain the evil spirits on the two of you?"
"What evil spirit?" Xu Huaide on the side asked coldly.
Qiao Feng did not respond, but looked at Xu Huairen who was leading the group, "Tell me what evil spirit is?"
Xu Huairen's expression turned cold, and he said, "The martial world is dangerous. After decades of wandering in the martial world, everyone has killed a few people. It is normal for them to have evil spirits on them."
Xu Qingye stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two, feeling a little confused.
But Qiao Feng's next words instantly perked him up.
"No, you killed someone, so you have some evil spirit, but the evil spirit on you is not only caused by killing people, but also by absorbing the souls of living people. This strong evil spirit even carries a trace of demonic spirit. Were you really forced to cooperate with the demons?"
Qiao Feng’s words shocked Xu Huairen.
"You are talking nonsense. How can we practice magic?"
Qiao Feng shrugged: "It seems that you have admitted it yourself. I didn't know that practicing magic would lead to this."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Huairen and Xu Huaide's faces changed drastically.
Xu Qingye blurted out: "Dad, are you practicing magic?"
Can humans practice the magic of demons?
No one knows this.
But it’s not that no one in the martial arts world has ever tried this, and the end result was always going astray, losing their humanity, and becoming a monster that even demons despised.
"We don't practice any magic, this guy is trying to frame us, Qingye, don't believe him."
Xu Huairen said.
Then, he raised his hand and used his Qi to look at Qiao Feng and said, "Would you two like to leave on your own, or should we help you leave?"
"Shengjing, it seems that you have gained a lot of benefits from the demons, but I don't know what use a few lives a month is to the demons."
Qiao Feng glanced at the other person and found nothing to be surprised about.
The so-called magic is nothing more than a method used by demons to improve their strength.
Among the demons, most of them practice martial arts normally, and only a few who go to extremes will use special methods to quickly improve their strength.
And that black shadow and these two old men are probably in the same group.
What made them angry was not that their killing of Xuan Ying would bring disaster to Jingcheng, but that after they were angry they would no longer have the benefits given by Xuan Ying and would not be able to improve their strength.
When you think about it this way, everything seems to make sense.
Qiao Feng looked at Xu Qingye and said, "City Lord Xu, it seems we can no longer stay in your City Lord's Mansion. However, after getting rid of the Black Hawk, all the demons in Daqing Mountain are gone. It is impossible for demons to invade Jingcheng again. You can rest assured about this. Qiao always keeps his word."
Xu Qingye hurriedly stopped Qiao Feng and the other two.
"You two, please wait a moment."
Xu Qingye said seriously: "I really want to make friends with you two, and you two helped us get rid of the monsters. We can't thank you enough, so why would we chase you away?"
As he spoke, Xu Qingye walked to the side of his father and second uncle.
"Dad, Second Uncle, the demons in Daqing Mountain are gone, and it's time for you to return to your sect. I'll take care of Jingcheng, and things will get better and better in the future. You don't have to worry."
The words were soft, but the meaning was different.
Xu Huairen immediately glared at him, "You bastard, we gave you the position of city lord, and now you are putting on airs with us?"
"Dad, Second Uncle, please go back."
Xu Qingye insisted.
Xu Huairen took a deep breath and was about to say something when he saw a hand flash by. Xu Huaide had already grabbed Xu Qingye by the neck and lifted him up.
"Qingye, when Second Uncle gave you the position of City Lord, he only asked you to temporarily take over the position, not to use the position of City Lord to put on airs with Second Uncle."
"Ahem, Uncle, please let go first. I can't breathe."
"Second dick."
Xu Huairen stretched out his hand to ask Xu Huaide to let go, but saw that the other party looked at him coldly.
"Brother, don't you understand what Qingye is doing?"
"Second brother, what do you want to do?"
Xu Huaide said in a deep voice: "I can let Qingye go, but he must not leave the sect anymore."
"Then they..."
Xu Huairen looked at Qiao Feng and the other man, as well as the guards and servants around them.
At this moment they were all trembling with fear. They were afraid that they would not survive after discovering such a secret.
"These two heroes are very skilled in martial arts. We are no match for them. Please leave. We have no choice but to accept this. This is the only way to let them spare the hundreds of disciples of the Fiery Sect and the thousands of people in Jingcheng."
Xu Huaide stared at Qiao Feng and Dongfang Bai and spoke word by word.
Qiao Feng smiled at the two of them and glanced at Dongfang Bai.
"Dongfang Bai, it seems that Jingcheng doesn't welcome us. Let's go."
Dongfang Bai was puzzled, but nodded and followed him away.
Xu Qingye was grabbed by the neck and couldn't speak.
Xu Huaide let him go only after the two men had completely left the City Lord's Mansion.
He said meaningfully: "Qingye, you must not disclose the matter of the demonic magic, otherwise our entire Fiery Sect will be overthrown."
"But Dad, Second Uncle, how can you practice magic? You all know that practicing magic will not end well."
Xu Huairen said: "When the Black Eagle came to us, we were no match for it. We could only pretend to cooperate, otherwise we would have been killed by it long ago."
Xu Qingye was about to retort, but he heard Xu Huaide say, "Arrest all the people present. This matter cannot be leaked out, otherwise our Liehuo Sect will be finished."
"No, I'll make them shut up and not tell anyone."
Xu Qingye stepped forward to stop him, but as soon as he finished speaking he was slapped away and fell to the ground spitting blood.
Xu Huairen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Qingye, don't blame your uncle, we can't be too merciful."
Afterwards, all the servants who heard the previous remarks were arrested and thrown into the dungeon.
On a rooftop outside the City Lord's Mansion, Qiao Feng and Dongfang Bai watched all this from afar.
