Shen Qiqi was stunned when she heard this. She thought to herself that Jiuying had stirred up blood and gore in the world in the past, advocating that demons should be the masters and humans should be the slaves. Not only did he treat the people of the city as slaves, he also chopped people into eight pieces and threw them into a big pot to cook. Such a demon beast with such heinous deeds actually dared to call himself a divine beast!
How shameless of him to say that he is in charge of the heaven!
That would have been fine, but that shameless guy, in order to gild his own reputation, even made up a legendary drama, saying that he "killed all the immortals and destroyed the heavenly realm", and finally "in order to protect his people from being harmed by humans, he led his people to move into Jiuyou City"!
Listen, what a heroic character!
——It’s complete nonsense!
Before she even saw what the legendary monster looked like, Shen Qiqi had already witnessed the other party's thick skin and felt deeply uncomfortable.
She suppressed her nausea and continued to ask the evil demon leader.
"You just mentioned the old people in the city. Has the place where you live been there for a long time?"
The evil leader said, "It should be a long time ago. I, my father, and my father's father were all born in Jiuyou City."
Shen Qiqi narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
It takes ten years just to conceive a demon, so the lifespan of a demon is different from that of a human.
When a human child is ten years old, he or she enters adolescence. After another five or six years, he or she will be able to marry, have children, and raise the next generation.
For the evil demons that give birth every ten years, ten years old is still an infant, twenty years old is considered a child, and fifty years old is considered an adult.
Therefore, the lifespan of evil spirits is very long. Those evil spirits that live to be two hundred years old and die of old age are considered short-lived ghosts.
——It just proves the old saying: Disasters last for thousands of years.
The evil leader said that three generations of his family were born in Jiuyou City. So according to the birth trajectories of four generations, Jiuyou City should have existed eight hundred years ago.
In other words, the great monster Jiuying, which was originally suppressed by the Emperor in Canglang Sea, escaped from Canglang Sea eight hundred years ago.
What about the Zhenwu Emperor?
When Jiuying escaped, it was impossible for Emperor Zhenwu, who was suppressing Jiuying with his soul, to fail to notice it.
As a result, one of these two people has only recently appeared, while the other has not been heard from since.
Shen Qiqi frowned unconsciously.
There is still a wisp of the emperor's soul on her body. She doesn't know when he will come back to take it away, and how he will take it away.
Because of this, Shen Qiqi had to pay more attention to the Zhenwu Emperor.
Seeing her tense little face and frowning silence, the evil leader didn't know what he had said wrong, which made the little ancestor's eyebrows twisted into black lumps; he was also afraid that the little ancestor would think he was not sincere enough and burn him to death, so he was so scared that he quickly pointed to the sky and swore that every word he said was true and not a single word was fabricated.
That kind of person is very careful about his life.
Shen Qiqi was speechless, thinking that although every word you said was true, it was a pity that the truth itself was fabricated.
However, with the interruption from the evil demon leader, Shen Qiqi temporarily withdrew her thoughts from the missing emperor and continued chatting with the evil demon leader.
Things need to be solved one by one, and there is no need to be impatient. The most important thing right now is to find out some information about Jiuying first, so that she knows herself and the enemy. Only then will she not be completely in the dark when the two sides really fight.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi cleared her throat and asked the evil demon leader: "Let me ask you, does your city lord stay in Jiuyou City all the time? What does he do every day?"
“…”
The evil leader was stumped by the question.
He was just a small follower and rarely saw the city lord throughout the year. How would he know what the city lord did every day?
But I can't not answer.
The evil demon leader held his head and thought hard for a moment, then decided to answer Shen Qiqi's first question first.
He said, "Our Lord City Lord has been deeply hurt by you humans. He doesn't want to see you humans anymore. He rarely leaves the city and stays in the City Lord's Mansion. Occasionally, he will accompany the City Lord's wife for a walk, but he won't leave the city. He will just take the City Lord's wife for a stroll around the city and accompany her for snacks."
"The City Lord's wife?" Shen Qiqi was a little surprised and asked curiously, "Is your City Lord married?"
He also accompanies his wife shopping and looks for delicious food with her. It sounds like he is a homely man who dotes on his wife.
When the evil demon leader heard her ask this, he replied, "Yes, they are married. Our Lord City Lord dotes on his wife. She is the apple of his eye and the treasure in his eyes. Whatever his wife says is what he has to say, and he will never go against her..."
At this point, the evil leader paused, as if thinking of something. He quickly corrected himself, "It happened recently. The City Lord and his wife had a quarrel for some reason, and the City Lord angrily told his wife that he was going to go out and kill people and create a blood pool with human blood..."
"Blood pool?" Shen Qiqi's scalp tightened when she heard these two words.
Back in Furong Town, she and Xie Beiming had an accident while cleaning the big blood pool under the ancestral hall of Master Qi's family, and she almost lost her life there.
Although she was fine later, Xie Beiming was dragged to the gates of hell by the King of Hell in order to protect her.
So she is now particularly sensitive to the word "blood pool".
She also had a hunch: the blood pool that the evil leader mentioned should be the blood pool under the ancestral hall of Master Qi's family in Furong Town.
As expected, the evil leader said, "Yes, our city lord actually doesn't like killing people, but he was so angry at the city lord's wife that he went on a killing spree. He asked us to dig a big hole under the ancestral hall of a family in Furong Town and then threw all the captured humans into the hole..."
The evil leader didn't know the reason, so he told the whole story, adding, "It was because of this blood pool that our city lord accidentally had his head chopped off by a little female cultivator from one of you humans... Oh, and there's one more thing!"
The evil leader suddenly became mysterious, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense and waiting for Shen Qiqi to ask him what was going on.
Unfortunately, Shen Qiqi was so furious at the news she heard that she had no mood to pay attention to him.
When she first discovered the blood pool under the ancestral hall of Qi's hometown, she and Xie Beiming stepped into the pool of blood that was almost waist-deep, looking for clues and analyzing them, and they almost lost their lives.
Until now, there are still monks guarding the blood pool day and night, for fear that something strange will happen again, as if they are facing a great enemy.
But now they were told that the pool of blood that looked like hell on earth was actually the result of a quarrel between a couple!
When a couple quarrels, instead of using sticks and knives at home, they go outside and take out their anger on the lives of ordinary people... It's simply outrageous!!!
