Rong Yu remained silent, his expression tantamount to acquiescence.
"You brought me here just to verify this?" Geng Qi said. "Why didn't you tell me this from the beginning?"
He recalled the two people who were almost inseparable in the Demon Palace, and he could never imagine that Xie Beiying would slaughter the place where Qinghan grew up in order to take revenge!
Rong Yu pondered for a moment: "I haven't seen him for a hundred years, and he is doing very well now."
Because of uncertainty, I didn't expose it; because there was no need, I didn't say it again.
He was free and unrestrained in the Demon Palace, so why should he be sent back to Sangzhong City, which was like a prison?
Geng Qi lowered his head and murmured, "Qing Han has lost his memory."
If you have amnesia, you will eventually regain your memories, whether it's a hundred years or a thousand years, as long as you are still alive.
Given those two people's personalities, if this matter were to be revealed...
Geng Qi suddenly felt utterly overwhelmed!
Rong Yu said, "Perhaps there are other hidden reasons."
"Even if there are hidden reasons, Xie Beiying has kept it a secret for a hundred years, and even Mu Shan couldn't find out. So who could possibly know?"
One doesn't remember, and the other refuses to talk about it.
Geng Qi glanced at the skeleton inside the coffin again, "Is the Zhan Prince's Mansion... still there?"
"..."
Rong Yu didn't answer. He resealed the coffin and led his men directly to the entrance of the "Prince Zhan's Mansion".
But where is there a magnificent mansion in front of us?
The land was a dark, scorched wasteland, as if burned by a raging fire, barren of all vegetation.
"It was tainted by poisonous fog a hundred years ago, and it has looked like this ever since."
Not even ruins remain.
When it comes to eradicating the root of the problem and destroying evidence, Jie Beiying is far more professional than Yandanmen.
Ruthless, decisive, and efficient!
The Prince Zhan's Mansion was still built on a bustling street. The sudden appearance of this scorched earth in the lively street seemed extremely abrupt.
In Geng Qi's own words: It affects the appearance of the city.
"Why not let them rebuild the house?"
Rong Yu said, "The lingering poison has not dissipated, and ordinary people dare not set foot here."
Even after a hundred years, the poison used by the number one protector of the Demon Realm is still beyond the tolerance of ordinary people. To build a mansion there, one would need to employ cultivators at the Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core stages. But to use such people to build a house would be a huge waste of their talents.
After a while, the place remained empty.
"Gentlemen, do you need any help?"
A voice came from behind the two of them. Geng Qi turned his head first and met a face with shifty eyes and an extremely lewd appearance, but dressed in a respectable manner.
The man looked himself and Rong Yu up and down, a greedy glint in his eyes.
The two were dressed simply, in long robes, one red and one white, without any embellishment. Apart from the several storage artifacts he wore on his hands, they did not look like people from wealthy families at all.
Is it because she's good-looking that she's been targeted by the local thugs?
When Rong Yu turned around and saw this person, he immediately frowned, tightened his grip on her hand, and was about to pull her over.
Geng Qi didn't move. He squeezed the man's palm, signaling him to calm down.
Finally, she blinked her big eyes and looked at the person who had spoken to them, asking innocently, "Big brother, are you from around here?"
His face was delicate, and when he spoke, his eyes seemed to sparkle like stars. He appeared extremely innocent and easy to fool!
Rong Yu: "..."
The thug perked up, glanced at the older man next to him, and seeing that he didn't object, immediately said, "Of course, brother has lived on this street for decades."
He also possessed spiritual roots, though they were quite mixed, which he cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
As a thug, this was enough for him to dominate the streets.
Geng Qi then laughed and said, "So, big brother, you know a lot about the affairs of the Zhan Prince's Mansion, huh?"
"Of course!"
"Can I ask you a question?"
The rogue suddenly laughed, "It's too noisy here. Why don't you two come back with me? I'll treat you to a cup of tea, and I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"
He was about to reach out his hand when he suddenly froze.
Geng Qi said, "There's no need to go back; let's talk about it here!"
He grinned, still looking like a young man, but the smile at the corner of his mouth had a more eerie quality.
The thug was astonished to find that, despite the absence of any unusual movement, he was unable to move his body: "You...you..."
Who are you people?
I couldn't bring myself to ask.
Geng Qi stopped pretending and snorted coldly, "Answer my questions, or I'll throw you into that scorched earth! Understand?"
"..." That's more like a hooligan than a hooligan!
Seeing the man nodding hurriedly, Geng Qi then asked leisurely, "What was happening on the day the incident occurred at the Zhan Prince's Mansion?"
"A commotion?" The thug was already sweating profusely, trying to guess the identities of the two men. When the boy spoke, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Oh, a commotion, I know, someone saw it..."
"What have you seen?"
"A phantom, a gigantic phantom!"
"What kind of ghostly figure?"
"Just... one, a white scorpion, shrouded in green light..."
Geng Qi's eyes darkened slightly.
The white scorpion must be Xie Beiying, but why did he transform into his true form? At that time, who in the Zhan Prince's Mansion could force him to reveal his true form?
"Anything else? What else do you know?"
The rogue's forehead was covered in cold sweat: "Nothing... nothing else. Everyone kept their distance when the devil killed people. Later, the Royal Golden Armor Guard sealed off the Zhan Prince's Mansion. When we saw it again, it was just a scorched earth!"
"Then who told you that?"
"This...this is what my father told me...Two immortals, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness, I offended you two, I won't dare to do it again, please let me go, as for the rest...I really don't know anything else!"
