Meng Yao responded with an "OK" when she heard this, then turned her wrist, and a book with black and gold outlines appeared in her hand.
Then she threw the book lightly, and it fell into the hands of the man in black robe. The man examined it and found nothing unusual, so he took the book.
Then he looked at Meng Yao and asked, "Meng Yao, you have made great contributions this time. What do you want?" Meng Yao rolled her eyes and ignored the jealous looks of the others. She said, "This is what I should do."
Then his tone changed and he said, "As for the reward, I want those Red Demons. I wonder if the master can give them up." After hearing this, the leader thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, is there anything else besides this?"
Meng Yao nodded and said: "I know that what I have done is not worth mentioning to the master. As long as it is this, it is already a great favor from the master." As soon as these words came out, the people around her looked at her with contempt.
The man at the head of the table flashed a hint of disdain behind his mask, and then his suspicions were completely dispelled. He then said "OK" and waved his sleeves to direct them to do what was next.
After the explanation was completed, everyone bowed and left the study in the City Lord's Mansion. Meng Yao emerged from the study and left immediately. Seeing this, the others rolled their eyes and said, "Why are you so proud? It's just that the Lord looked at her a few more times. What's there to be proud of? If it were me, I could definitely do better than her."
The others who heard this said nothing, but they felt the same resentment as that man in their hearts.
After Meng Yao left, she went to a restaurant and ordered a pot of wine. Then she sat by the window, drinking and enjoying the view. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure appear below. She loosened her grip on the wine glass and flew straight towards that person.
The man noticed it, dodged, looked at the wine glass that was smashed to pieces at his feet, raised his head and shot a vicious look towards him.
Meng Yao calmly picked up another wine glass and refilled it with wine. After pouring it, she shook the glass in her hand towards the man in a very good mood, looking straight into the man's fierce eyes with a provocative smile on her lips.
Seeing that it was Meng Yao, the man gritted his teeth and said to her, "Why are you so proud? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you received a reward from the master. And now you're sitting here drinking instead of doing the task assigned by the master. I want to see how you're going to report back."
Meng Yao blinked, revealing a hint of charm in her eyes, and chuckled softly, "Oh~, but I have already completed the task assigned to me by the master!"
The man was shocked when these words were spoken. How come Meng Yao had completed her task in such a short time? Could it be that she was setting herself up?
Thinking of this, he wanted to test Meng Yao, so he said to Meng Yao in the restaurant: "Meng Yao, come down first, I have something to discuss with you."
Meng Yao blinked and said, "If there is anything you can't just say it, why do you want me to go down?" Although she said that, she still got up and left the restaurant. The man outside the restaurant saw Meng Yao coming out.
He gestured for her to go to a secluded place to talk. Meng Yao was led by him to a secluded alley. Halfway through, Meng Yao said impatiently, "Let's talk here. I still have to go back to play. Don't waste my time."
As soon as he said this, the man stopped and looked around to make sure there was no one around. He then looked outside the alley and saw that it was deserted and extremely remote. Then he looked at Meng Yao and said, "Why are you here so quickly? Tell me now, I can give you something good."
Meng Yao raised her eyes lazily, exuding a lazy aura. She looked at the man and asked, "Are you sure you want to know?" The man nodded vigorously. Meng Yao continued, "It's just that I'm afraid you won't give me what I want."
The man was anxious and said in a loud voice, "Are you kidding me? Why wouldn't I give it to you? I can afford it."
Seeing Meng Yao about to say something, his patience finally ran out and he said hurriedly, "Come on, stop dithering and just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not."
Meng Yao raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I can give it to you, but you have to pay first." The man immediately said, "Okay. What's your reward?"
Meng Yao smiled, and the next second she grabbed the man's throat with her hand and pressed him hard against the wall next to him. The man saw the murderous intent in her eyes while struggling.
He instantly understood that Meng Yao wanted to kill him in order to take some of the credit. He did not find it strange. They were selfish guys. It was not uncommon for them to form an alliance with someone one second and stab that person in the back the next.
But he didn't expect that at this time Meng Yao was still thinking about how to get more credit. The spiritual power in his body had already been suppressed by Meng Yao and could not be used.
He said with difficulty: "If the Lord gets to know, he will definitely not forgive you." As he spoke, his hand behind his back struggled to find a jade token and wanted to crush it to ask for help from others.
But the next second, the hand pinching his neck suddenly increased its strength, and then he felt someone twisting his neck, and then his head drooped and he became motionless.
Meng Yao withdrew her hand and took a step back, letting the man's body fall to the ground. The moment the body fell to the ground, a ball of black gas floated out of the man's body, and was then crushed by Meng Yao in her hand.
The second before her soul was crushed, she heard the man calling her a vicious woman. After killing the man, Meng Yao left the alley directly.
Deep in the alley, Zhi Rong watched the whole process with Qin Du covering her mouth. Her tears had already wet her cheeks. Some of the disciples who had woken up were leaning against the wall beside her, and their expressions were not good either.
They were very sure that the person just now was Leng Yan, but the aura around that person and the fact that the person who was killed called her "Meng Yao" told them that this person was not Leng Yan.
At this moment, Qin Du finally spoke. He said, "Senior Sister looks like someone has possessed her." As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were filled with fear, and one person shouted in disbelief, "Possession?"
Qin Du nodded, and now everyone fell silent. They didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, but at the same time they were still hoping for a lucky break.
Qin Du then looked at the body of the man outside the formation, stood up and dragged the body in. As soon as the body was dragged in, everyone who woke up gathered around it.
Someone asked in confusion: "Junior Brother Qin, what are you doing?" Qin Du did not answer but just rummaged through the man's body and found a blueprint.
A formation was drawn on the blueprint, with each corner circled in red. Looking at the formation, Qin Du's expression grew serious as he said, "Not good! They're going to sacrifice everyone in the city."
The disciples became anxious upon hearing this, and asked Qin Du anxiously what to do. Qin Du pondered for a moment, then explained in a serious tone what they were going to do next.
The last disciple couldn't help but ask curiously: "Junior Brother Qin, why do you think that person left this body here and let us find this formation diagram?" Qin Du heard the hidden meaning of that person's words. These disciples were worried that this was a conspiracy set up by that person for them to jump into.
He pursed his lips and said, "I understand everyone's concerns. How about this? Let's send a few people to investigate first. If it's true, we can discuss it later."
