Ji Mofan lifted his eyelids slightly, his gaze lightly sweeping over him.
“Since you already know, why ask any more questions?” he said.
Wu Qi was momentarily speechless, taken aback by his choked words. "...It seems you still don't trust me."
"It's not that simple. It's just that things haven't been done yet. If I make promises now and something goes wrong in the future, wouldn't that be embarrassing?" Ji Mofan shook his head, showing a helpless expression.
Is Jimo Fan afraid of losing face?
Wu Qi didn't believe a single word of it.
He could sit openly in his wedding attire in the sedan chair of the Venerable One's wedding procession, accepting the gazes of demonic cultivators from all directions, whether benevolent or malicious, and remain unmoved by the arguments behind his back. Yet now he can say that he is afraid of his reputation being damaged.
Nobody would believe that.
Ji Mofan didn't care whether he believed it or not, since he was never going to say anything anyway. "How many Blood Infant Gu have you dug up so far?"
“Most of the people here in the border town have been infected.” Wu Qi also felt a headache when he mentioned this. “Those who know Gu magic are basically from the southern border, and most of the people there were gathered into the city by me before the riot broke out.”
"As a result, now that most people have eaten in the city's communal kitchens, very few people are left without any problems."
"There are only a few dozen people, including myself, who can come here to dig for Gu worms, but the number of infected people is ten or even dozens of times that. The person who planted the Gu must have planned this in advance, otherwise it would have been impossible to raise such a large number of Blood Infant Gu in such a short period of time."
As Ji Mo Fan listened to him say these things, he was thinking about something else entirely.
If the number of Blood Infant Gu is already so large, wouldn't the amount of infant blood consumed during the breeding period be even greater?
Anyone who has killed people for years knows that, whether it's a human or another animal, the easiest way to bleed them is while they are still alive.
Fresh corpses are acceptable, but even if the Gu maker can keep the corpse of a recently deceased infant in a Qiankun bag to preserve it, and take it out when needed so that it looks exactly the same as when it died, children are not like leeks that can be harvested one after another.
Either he controlled a batch of seedbeds specifically for producing children, or he must have stolen these children from places like orphanages.
The orphanage is full of orphans who have lost their parents, so it is not easy to attract the attention of others if you steal a child from there.
The problem is that such organizations are extremely rare in the demon realm, and very few children have the opportunity to be sent there. Demon cultivators openly admit that they won't do anything without personal gain.
Only the cultivation world would actively build such a place full of "goodwill".
Therefore, the permanent residence of the Gu maker is very likely not in the Demon Realm, or even in the Southern Border, but in a certain orphanage in the cultivation world.
