Chapter 1239 I kneel down to you!

After Hua Shiqing finished speaking, they continued to walk deeper into the City Lord's Mansion. After walking for a long time, they finally reached the back mountain of the City Lord's Mansion.

Late in the night, the lights in the back mountain were as bright as day. If it weren't for the surrounding mountains blocking the view, I'm afraid the entire Qiyang City would be able to see the abnormality in the back mountain of the City Lord's Mansion.

At the foot of the back mountain, Ye Linglong saw a large number of guards. They were guarding all the entrances and exits to the back mountain. In addition, they were also guarding a very hidden corner in the col of the back mountain.

At this time, the city lord was taking them to that corner.

When he turned the corner and saw what was happening in the corner, Ye Linglong's eyes widened in surprise.

No wonder all the guards of the City Lord's Mansion are in the back mountain, the situation looks so serious!

There was an ancient well in the corner, and a man was hanging in the air above the well. The man looked young, and was surrounded by a purple-black evil aura.

The veins all over his body bulged and almost turned black. The vein lines were all over his body, which was very scary.

His eyes were purple, his nails were long and black, his lips were black, and his expression was extremely ferocious.

If his limbs had not been tied with chains made of black iron and pressed against the ancient well, he would probably have rushed out and gone crazy.

"roar…"

When he saw new people coming, he yelled at them with hatred, as if he was scolding them for daring to tie him up.

His voice was deep and hoarse, almost losing the characteristics of a human voice, and sounded like the violent roar of some evil creature.

Because of his excited roars and struggles, the four iron chains that bound him clanged under his struggles, causing the guards who were holding the four iron chains to have to put more strength.

Even though there were five or six guards holding each chain, given how crazy he was, the guards would sooner or later be unable to hold on, so they had to either send more people or get rid of this man.

When seeing this scene, not only Ye Linglong was surprised, but even Hua Shiqing who came here to accept the mission was also shocked.

This scene is so horrific. This person may lose control at any time.

"Master, you can see that the situation is very critical. We really cannot send anyone to pick you up. Please forgive us." The city lord sighed heavily.

"Don't worry, City Lord. This has been agreed upon beforehand. I'm mentally prepared." Hua Shiqing said.

"I heard that in addition to Xichuan Tower, Dongwang Palace also got involved?" asked the city lord.

"It is true."

"Then...when you come, make sure they won't follow us?" the city lord asked worriedly.

"will not."

He nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. If they knew about this, they would probably stir up trouble again. They are very powerful, and our City Lord's Mansion is already in this state. We can't afford to be attacked by them."

Hearing this, Ye Linglong couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

It sounds like the situation is urgent, and although it is indeed urgent, I am also really afraid of death.

He was afraid that Xichuan Tower and Dongwang Palace would find out. He was terribly afraid of these two forces, so afraid that he dared not provoke them at all. He just waited for his fourth senior sister, a weak woman, to come, and dared not send anyone to pick her up.

"Thank goodness, Master, you have arrived safely at the City Lord's Mansion. This matter will surely be properly resolved."

"City Lord, how could your son become like this? This is much more serious than what you described in the letter." Hua Shiqing said.

Ye Linglong was stunned for a moment. This man who had almost lost his mind and gone astray was the city lord's son?

"Yes! It wasn't that serious before, but it got so bad in just two days! My son!"

The city lord was extremely anxious. He was shaking and wiping tears with his sleeves. He looked like a very pitiful old father.

"The previous letter asked me to refine medicine to suppress the evil in his body according to the specific situation. But now the evil aura in his body has completely spread, and it is almost impossible to suppress it." Hua Shiqing said.

"Yes, Master, the situation has become so serious now that suppression is useless." The city lord said sadly, "But even so, I can't give up my son, Master, you must have another way, right?"

"But I discussed this with my master before I came here. What we discussed was the method of refining elixirs to suppress evil spirits. I didn't prepare anything else." Hua Shiqing was embarrassed.

"You are a master of alchemy, and the most talented disciple in Penglai in the past few thousand years. Your reputation is known all over the East China Sea. Even if you are not prepared, it should not be difficult for you to refine the elixir at this time."

The city lord excitedly grabbed Hua Shiqing's sleeve.

"Master, I beg you to save my son. I only have this one son, and I cannot lose him! He became like this for the sake of the people of Qiyang City. You will not stand by and watch him die, right?"

"I..." Hua Shiqing felt very embarrassed looking at this situation.

"I know this is difficult, but I am willing to do it no matter what the price. Whatever reward you want, even if you give me the entire City Lord's Mansion, I won't blink an eye. I just want to save my son!"

"City Lord, you're too polite. That's not what I meant. I don't want your City Lord's Mansion." Hua Shiqing's face was full of anxiety.

"I beg you, if it weren't for the people of Qiyang City, he would have gone alone to suppress the evil spirit, and he wouldn't have ended up like this. He is innocent, good people can't only get bad rewards, Master, I kneel down to you!"

As the city lord spoke, he grabbed Hua Shiqing's sleeve and was about to kneel down to her.

Seeing this, Hua Shiqing quickly helped him up before his knees hit the ground.

"City Lord, please don't be like this. I will think of a way. I will definitely find a way for you. Don't worry."

"Really?" the city lord asked excitedly. "Then what method did the master come up with? Suppressing it by force is no longer possible. Is it possible to refine a pill to help him purify the evil spirits, and then let him absorb the remaining power himself? Will this work?"

"This..." Hua Shiqing frowned and hesitated.

"Master, your hesitation means there is a way that will work, right? Then follow this method, I beg you, this is the only way to cause the least harm to my son."

"But City Lord, this is very dangerous. If the purification is not done thoroughly..." Before Hua Shiqing could finish her words, the City Lord anxiously refuted her.

"No! The elixir is not purified, and he can handle the rest by himself. My son is very talented and is well-known throughout Qiyang City. Even your master has heard of him! Do you still not trust him?"

Hua Shiqing frowned in embarrassment. While she was still thinking of a solution, the city lord grabbed her sleeve and prepared to kneel down.

"Master, I beg you, I kneel down for you..."

The city lord hadn't finished speaking yet and Hua Shiqing was about to help him up when suddenly, Ye Linglong pulled her.
