Wang Xiang didn't understand what he was thinking either.
"I don't know where he heard that, it's utterly absurd. If eating a demon core could make you an immortal, then there would be no demon realm, we might as well just rename it the immortal realm!"
Wu Hua handed the shelled peanuts to Qin Luo and took over her questioning duties.
"Then what!"
"Then, in our name, they murdered countless wealthy merchants and ordinary people. Gradually, we became known as evil demons who killed and robbed people..."
Qin Luo, who was eating peanuts at the time, heard this and burst into a tirade of righteous indignation.
"Damn it, they're framing me! What a scumbag!"
Wang Xiang didn't know what "scumbag" meant, but she enjoyed listening to her curse, so she joined in.
"Yes! Scumbags! While they were keeping us occupied, they went to find the demon hunters. The moment they trapped us, it was my eldest brother who used his last bit of strength to transform back into his original form and push us out of the city. He then merged his demon core with the city, trapping the three of us and those demon hunters inside..."
At this point, Wangxiang was crying so hard that he had completely lost his composure.
Wu Hua had no choice but to take out the small watering can again and water it.
"Alright, alright, it's all in the past..."
"No, there was no past at all. My older brother is still locked up. I can't even open the cage inside. I'm so useless, waaaaah~"
Wu Hua was getting a headache from its noise and yelled at it.
"Stop crying. If crying would help, your older brother would have been out long ago!"
Qin Luo was amused by its sudden outburst of anger.
Stuff the half-eaten peanut into its mouth.
"Sweetie, let's not argue with it. You eat, and I'll talk to it!"
Wu Hua chewed and found it quite delicious, so she wasn't angry anymore and continued chewing noisily.
Qin Luo handed Wang Xiang a few tissues.
"Wipe your tears! We should know how to save your brother, but we're not entirely sure. Do you want to give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiang felt as if he had been hit on the head with incredibly good news.
"Give it a try, you have to try!"
"Fine! Then tell me who designed this cage back then?"
Wang Xiang recalled that the person was wearing a black robe.
His face was also covered with a black cloth, making it impossible to see his features.
But what is certain is that it is not a person, or more precisely, not a complete person.
"Not a complete person? What do you mean?"
"He has a human scent, but it's mixed with a hint of ghostly energy!"
"Ghostly aura? This is getting complicated! Something neither human nor ghost is trapping a demon? What kind of operation is this?"
As she spoke, she looked at Wu Hua, who shrugged and shook her head vigorously.
"Don't look at me, I don't know, this is a blind spot for me!"
"Alright! Since you don't know either, then I'm afraid no one but the Heavenly Dao knows!"
"It's okay, we can just ask your dad about it next time we see him!"
"This is the only way!"
The two chatted as if no one else was around, leaving Wang Xiang completely bewildered.
Isn't it only Heaven that knows? Why are you asking her father again?
Could it be...? Its pupils dilated as it stared at Qin Luo.
But it never dared to ask, because it couldn't sense any spiritual energy from Qin Luo.
Therefore, one can't help but suspect that she might be an illegitimate daughter left behind by the Heavenly Dao in the mortal realm.
In the end, it chose to keep it to itself and not tell anyone.
Qin Luo, who became an illegitimate child without any prior knowledge, was even thinking of checking the information with it.
Then it told it everything that Feng Zangce had said.
The elephant was dumbfounded. It had worked so hard to capture so many Feng family members.
The one they least liked turned out to be the most useful, and almost died at their own hands.
It now wishes it could kowtow to Qin Luo and Wu Hua; if it weren't for them saving the person...
Then its older brother, who knows how long he'll have to endure before he can get out!
Then he thought of the descendants of the Feng and Kui families, which he already had; only the Ji family's descendants remained.
It rubbed its excited little black hands together, its eyes shining as it looked at the two of them.
"So what should we do now? Go to the city lord's mansion and capture their young city lord?"
As it was saying this, it actually started to walk out, but Qin Luo reached out and grabbed its fur.
"Don't be so impatient. Our companions have already gone to the city lord's mansion to gather information. After we go back and exchange information tomorrow, we'll decide what to do next. What you need to do now is think carefully about what to do with these Feng family members."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiang looked completely matter-of-fact.
"What should we do? They're no use, so let them go!"
"You released them? Aren't you worried they'll stop you from breaking the seal?"
"What should we do then? We can't just kill them all! No, my brother said that killing people will prevent us from surviving the tribulation lightning!"
Wu Hua stood up and smacked it on the head again.
"Why kill them? Just send them back to the Feng Mansion, set up a protective barrier, and prevent them from leaving!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo gave it a thumbs up.
"My little one, it has to be you! You're so smart!"
Wu Hua raised her head high in praise: "Of course!"
Then, the human, the beast, and the demon began transporting people to the Feng Mansion.
Wang Yue and Ci Yue's situation also went exceptionally smoothly; after they infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion...
They headed straight for the city lord's main hall, but what they saw shocked them greatly.
The city lord, barely thirty years old, lay on the couch, emaciated and on the verge of death, looking like a dried corpse.
Wang Yue recognized her at that moment; she was the old woman who had given him the little flag years ago…
The thirteen-year-old young city lord grabbed the city lord's hand and cried uncontrollably.
"Mother, please don't leave me. Your thirtieth birthday is still a few months away. Why are you leaving all of a sudden?"
