She is very unhappy
After the two of them confirmed the evil energy in this place and were trapped by the blood net ring array, Qin Baoyao thought they had to go back along the way they came, but Shi Yue took her and started moving towards the southwest corner along the edge.
Along the way, they found that they didn't meet anyone.
Qin Baoyao looked at Shi Yue and followed him, puzzled. "This is different from the cities I've been to before. I've never seen a city with no people living on the outskirts."
Logically speaking, land in the city center is very expensive, so it is generally inhabited by rich people. Poor families should generally live around the city or on the edge of the city. However, this is not the case in Songzi City. There are houses but no one living there.
Along the way, they entered several houses and confirmed that there were no signs of habitation and that they had been there for at least a year.
This was even more strange. Judging from the density of the houses, it was obvious that Songzi City was like other cities she had seen. The further away from the edge of the city, the more houses there were. Theoretically, there should be more people.
Qin Baoyao was confused and Shi Yue patted her on the shoulder: "Don't think too much." But he already knew in his heart that this was probably the worst case scenario.
Not long after, they passed the west direction first and found demonic energy, but there was very little here, not as much as in the northwest corner, and they couldn't just leave it alone. Shi Yue took out the seventh-grade blood net ring array again, held it in his hand and looked at it. Qin Baoyao was still waiting for him to take action, but found that his face was full of reluctance.
"What are you doing?" Qin Baoyao was puzzled. Hurry up and finish breakfast as soon as possible so that you can feel at ease. What is Shi Yue reluctant to do? After he finishes his breakfast, he can go back and ask his father for it.
Shi Yue sighed: "It's a bit of a waste. It would be better if there were a fourth or fifth grade one." After saying that, he slowly prepared to input spiritual energy to activate it.
Qin Baoyao grabbed his hand and said, "Wait, are you saying that a fourth or fifth grade one is enough?"
Shi Yue nodded generously. It would not be good if the master was too powerful, as he would not have any low-level magic weapons.
"Hey, you should have told me earlier. I have it." Qin Baoyao said as she took out the fourth and fifth grade Blood Net Ring Array Disks. "Here, which one do you want?"
When Shi Yue saw it, he immediately put away the seventh-grade one in his hand, took out a fourth-grade one, activated it and used it, trapping the evil spirit in the same way.
"How come you have such a low-level magic weapon?" The one his master gave him was already of the seventh grade, so the one he gave to Qin Baoyao should be of a higher grade.
"Daddy gave them to me. He said he used them to practice when he was young. I have a lot, more than a hundred or eighty, including sixth-grade ones," Qin Baoyao said proudly. "If you had asked for fourth or fifth-grade ones earlier, I would have given them to you."
"Don't tell me you have both low-level and high-level ones as well?"
"Yes! Both."
Shi Yue sighed, thinking that his master was indeed rich and powerful. He gave his daughter a lot of formation plates that others had been begging for desperately.
Seeing him suddenly in a daze, Qin Baoyao patted him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"It's okay, let's go."
Qin Baoyao stared at him and casually took out a storage ring from her storage ring: "Here you go."
“???”
"There's no way I can get low-level magic weapons and formation plates. When you became their disciple, my parents and brother had already given me all the low-level ones from their youth to play with. What they give you must be high-level ones. If you want them, you can tell me. I tell you, I also have those primary-level elixirs, a lot of them." Qin Baoyao drew a big circle with one hand.
There was no other way. Generally speaking, the higher the quality of things, the better. So, what she had given to Shi Yue before were all high-quality things. What his parents and brother gave him were all things that they could refine at their current level of cultivation. They could not be any lower quality.
Shi Yue held it in his hand and was silent for a while. He didn't expect it to be like this.
But since Qin Baoyao said she still had a lot, he didn't bother to be polite with her and put it away.
The two of them walked around the city and found that there was demonic energy in eight directions. According to Shi Yue's speculation, there should be five more in the city center, and the City Lord's Mansion was probably one of them.
"Songzi City is about to be marinated by the evil spirit!" Qin Baoyao sighed after they had trapped the evil spirits in various directions in the same way and dispersed them.
"Tell me, why can't we see it outside the city? Is it because our cultivation is too low?"
"No, there is probably some kind of formation that serves as a shield. Otherwise, the city gate that is open every day would have been discovered by people passing by." Shi Yue explained. He didn't sense anything at all when they were at the city gate. It was only after he stepped into the city gate that he sensed something unusual in the southwest and northwest directions.
In other words, everything outside the formation is normal, and only when you are inside the formation can you feel anything.
Qin Baoyao thought of some of the formations she had set up for her. Thinking of those extremely confusing formations, she shuddered and figured out why there was no problem here that could be seen from outside the city.
"What's next? Shall we go back to the restaurant?" Since we have trapped the evil spirits from all directions, should we just wait for my brother to come?
"No, we can't go back yet. There are still a few things that need to be dealt with." Shi Yue spontaneously took out the invisibility talisman and put it on the two of them.
"Have you forgotten? This thing doesn't work anymore."
"Let's try it first." Shi Yue said as he held the person's hand tightly and walked towards the alley leading to the city center.
When Qin Baoyao thought that the invisibility talisman was about to lose its effect, she found that Shi Yue was still nowhere to be seen.
"Huh? It works again? Why?"
"It should be the formation surrounding these evil spirits that caused it. Now that the evil spirits are trapped, and we are getting farther and farther away, the formation's effect has become less effective."
"So where are we going next?"
Shi Yue couldn't say for sure, but he could sense something, so he led his people in the direction of his intuition.
Sure enough, he found abnormalities in several other places outside the City Lord's Mansion. The demonic energy in these places was less obvious than that at the edge of the city, but because of his previous experience, Shi Yue's sensing ability became stronger and stronger. After dealing with these places, they came to the City Lord's Mansion.
"No way? There's also one in the City Lord's Mansion?" Qin Baoyao was shocked. Songzi City was really corroded by the evil spirit and turned into a sieve!
Faced with the demonic energy here, Shi Yue first took out the seventh-grade blood net ring array disk, and after thinking about it, he took out his only eighth-grade blood net ring array disk. He used the seventh-grade one and put an eighth-grade one on the outside.
"Is it that exaggerated? Didn't you say that the fourth or fifth grade would be enough?" Qin Baoyao really couldn't understand.
Shi Yue shook his head: "This place gives me a very wrong feeling. I don't think we can take it lightly."
"Okay, okay, is it enough? If not, I have more!" Qin Baoyao nodded and expressed her support with resources.
After doing all this, they returned to the restaurant.
As soon as I got back, before I had time to put away the Golden Feather Mirror, I heard someone knocking on the door.
Qin Baoyao hurriedly took the Golden Feather Mirror from Shi Yue's room, quickly climbed back to her room through the back window, took off her coat, and then took back the Golden Feather Mirror from her room. She pretended to be annoyed at being woken up, opened the door and asked unhappily, "What are you doing?"
The one knocking on her door was Jiang Lan, and the one who stepped through the door was Jiang Qing.
Yan Yuan stood in the corridor, leaning against the railing, looking unhappy: "Are you still going to complete the mission? You two actually still have the mind to sleep?"
Having already determined that something was wrong with the three of them, Qin Baoyao didn't want to give them a good face. She slammed the door shut and said impatiently, "Wait, I'll change my clothes."
Shi Yue, who was sitting next door, also looked embarrassed. He nodded to Jiang Qing and closed the door.
After a while, Shi Yue opened the door and came out first, but Qin Baoyao appeared after a long time.
It's not her fault that she was slow. She knew that something was wrong with these people, so she naturally had to make some preparations for herself. So she took the opportunity to stick talismans all over her inner clothes, and then opened the door, still with an unhappy look on her face.
Qin Baoyao was a spoiled person, so her series of dissatisfaction did not arouse suspicion. Instead, it made the others feel that this was in line with her identity as the spoiled little ancestor of Guiyi Sect.
Only Shi Yue knew that she did this because she had discovered that something was wrong with Yan Yuan and the others. On the one hand, she was too lazy to flatter them, and on the other hand, she was worried that the people who came with her on the mission had been replaced or possessed by someone else.
"Have you finished reading the information?" Qin Baoyao was too lazy to deal with it, so Shi Yue came and asked when they went downstairs.
"I've finished reading it." The others nodded.
"What do you think?"
"They are just some monsters. Just kill them. What's there to worry about?" As a swordsman, Yan Yuan's solution was simple and crude.
"I think these monsters have developed intelligence and are difficult to deal with."
"Oh? Why do you think the monster has intelligence?" Qin Baoyao didn't want to pay attention to these people who she didn't even know whether they were her senior brothers and sisters, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but feel curious.
If a demon beast has intelligence, it will develop into a demon soldier or general. Except for ordinary demon beasts that harm civilians, the cultivators have no choice but to deal with them. But if it is a demon beast with intelligence, they have to have a good discussion with the demon clan, otherwise it will easily cause conflicts between humans and demons.
"How can an ordinary monster stay in one place and wait for people to pass by before eating them? Only monsters with intelligence and wisdom can have strategies. I guess this is the reason why Songzi City turned to Guiyi Sect for help." Jiang Lan expressed her guess.
Qin Baoyao nodded in agreement, then asked unexpectedly, "So, do you think Songzi City only sought help from Guiyi Sect? Or did other sects also seek help?"
"I don't know about this." Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment before speaking.
But Qin Baoyao didn't give up. "If Songzi City had asked other sects for help, why were we the only ones here? Did the others not arrive quickly enough? Or did something go wrong?"
Her continuous questioning left those people speechless. When they wanted to say something, Qin Baoyao returned to her unhappy and indifferent look, as if the person who had just asked her three soul-searching questions was not her.
Qin Baoyao, who had given up asking after Shi Yue had pulled her aside for a few times, was really upset at this moment. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with Yan Yuan and the others. If they were replaced, where were they imprisoned? If they were possessed by someone else, who were the possessors?
Shi Yue laughed and said, "Senior Sister Baoyao is grumpy when she wakes up. Please don't come to call her so early in the morning. She will be prone to this if you wake up too early."
