The endless stream of maids came and went, all of them looked flustered, cautiously holding a delicate brocade box, busy in an orderly manner, only the clothes of Gu Yan's ordinary people attracted attention, and some bewitching girls wearing cheongsams cast curious eyes from time to time.

A group of slender cheongsam girls walked by, all with their chins bowed and their jaws silent. Just when Gu Yan was shocked, a young girl walking at the back of the line looked around vigilantly, timidly walked to Gu Yan's side, and admonished in a low voice: "Leave quickly, if you let the guards of the City Lord's Mansion see you, it will be troublesome."

"Thank you!" Although he didn't understand why the girl was so panicked in her eyes, Gu Yan still hugged his fists and thanked him.

"Let's go! If you get caught, you're done! Timidly instructed again and again, the girl finally followed the team with gentle lotus steps.

Sure enough, not long after the girl left, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion in armor and armed with knives patrolled, looking at the fierce eyes and looking at the people who came and went.

However, Gu Yan did not listen to the girl's kind advice, and after the guard turned the corner, the young man quietly hid in the next door, and when a group of small servants walked in front of the door, Gu Yan cautiously rushed out, quickly blindfolded the mouth of the last person in the line, and dragged him into the room.

Gu Yan tidied up the clothes he had just changed into a little, and looked at the little guy who was knocked unconscious by himself and only had obscene clothes and pants, Gu Yan said helplessly: "Brother, I'm sorry!"

As he spoke, he threw the servant into the wooden box where the goods were stored, and quietly placed a hundred gold coins on the man as he left. When another team passed in front of the door, Gu Yan quickly rushed out and quietly followed last.

"Keep up!" Suddenly, a group of guards shouted angrily, leading Gu Yan and his party towards the deepest part of the backstage, Gu Yan's tiger eyes froze, and he found that this group of guards turned out to be first-class Yuanshi. Gu Yan couldn't help but be careful, and quietly lowered his head.

Turning the winding corridors, the group came to a dark and dead secret room, and Gu Yan's heart suddenly shrank, where the smell of blood was the strongest.

"Send it over quickly, if it's too late, see I don't want your life!" A middle-aged man who was full of anger pointed to the rows of jade bottles on the wooden table in the room and said rudely and intimidating.

The little servants hurriedly and carefully put the jade bottle on the tray, and without saying a word, they bowed slightly and retreated. And when Gu Yan picked up the delicate jade bottle, the whole person was like an electric shock, staring at the white-skinned jade bottle in his hand, although he did not open it, Gu Yan firmly believed that what was contained in the jade bottle was the source of the smell of blood, and it was human blood.

Gu Yan's breathing was a little low, but he still pretended to be casual, and quickly followed the team, led by a group of guards towards the destination.

The group slowly came to a black door made of fine iron, and at this time there was a group of cheongsam girls waiting outside the door, and at the end of the team was the girl who had just persuaded Gu Yan to leave, and without exception, they were also holding the same exquisite jade bottle as Gu Yan in their hands.

"Get in!" The guards behind him hurriedly urged, and as the heavy iron door opened, everyone rushed in in obscurity.

"Whew!"

As soon as he entered the door, in an instant, the smell of blood, which was ten times stronger than the outside, came to his face, even those civilians were clearly audible, everyone's faces changed abruptly, and those good-looking cheongsam girls were even more frightened and paralyzed, and their beauty was pale.

I saw that in the middle of the room, a group of attendants dressed in the City Lord's Mansion were silently surrounding a wide stone table, and on the stone table, the heads of hideous demonic beasts were impressive, and the blood that had not yet scabbed was still flowing, and the heads were staring at the dead eyes and opening their mouths. And above the tongue of the demonic beast, a dry red elixir exuded a strong vitality, and a faint danxiang drowned in the smell of blood.

"Elixir!" Gu Yanxin muttered to himself in horror, it was the first time that he, who was also an alchemist, had seen the practice of soaking the elixir in the blood, and such a tragic method had never been heard of.

A terrifying idea lingered in Gu Yan's mind, perhaps, this is not alchemy, this is "human blood to raise the pill", Gu Yan was covered in cold sweat, the pill bred by this method of raising the pill not only exterminates human nature, but once taken, it is extremely harmful to the human body, although the effect is significant in the short term, but the anger in the blood of the deceased will imperceptibly erode people's minds, if they are taken for a long time, they will even go crazy and become a bloodthirsty walking corpse.

Unexpectedly, the city lord's mansion, which has always been convinced by virtue, is so dirty, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice human blood to alchemy, and the young man can't be calm for a long time. Suddenly, a tragic experience that Gu Yan didn't want to remember came to his mind, he mysteriously disappeared five years ago, and the inhuman pain of that month was vivid, so that Gu Yan had to associate what he saw with that month.

The more he thought about it, the more Gu Yan's heart surged, and he was able to sneak into the families quietly and rob himself when there were many scholars, which not only required strong strength, but also needed to be clear about the pattern of the families, and the City Lord's Mansion undoubtedly had all the conditions.

At the beginning, his family was driven out of the Zhu family, and when the father of the first strong man in Lishan left, the Wang family planned to take advantage of the situation, but fortunately, the city lord's mansion mediated it, and the family stabilized the overall situation, and the grandfather was impeached by Zhu Zhai and lost the position of patriarch, which has nothing to do with the city lord's mansion.

In this way, the relationship between Zhu Zhai and the City Lord's Mansion is by no means ordinary, and since becoming an alchemist, Gu Yan also knows about the existence of medicine slaves, and some alchemists do not hesitate to risk the world's condemnation in order to test the medicinal properties of the pill, and gamble with human life.

And five years ago, the best "Zhuji Dan" of the City Lord's Mansion was not successfully refined, just a month after his disappearance, the Lishan Medicine Depot began to peddle the new "Zhuji Dan", and he was in great trouble not dying, but the dantian was full of devastation, and he lost his cultivation talent, which is likely to be the result of being tested by the City Lord's Mansion.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, at first Gu Yan was still trembling, his teeth were clenched in anger, and in the end, Gu Yan's whole person seemed to be like a sheep going crazy, his whole body convulsed and spasmed irrepressibly, clenching his fists tightly, his nails were deeply inserted into his palms, and blood flowed out, but Gu Yan didn't notice it at all.

"Hurry up, don't grind!" Suddenly, the fierce curse of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion woke up the young man, Gu Yan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and a wave of anger emanated from the young man's body.

The little maid and the maid standing in front of the team hurriedly opened the jade bottle, and poured the red human blood inside on the pill on the tongue of the skull, as soon as the pill came into contact with the viscous blood, like a long drought and rain, a faint scarlet fluorescence shot out from the inside of the pill, and in an instant, the whole pill was as crystal clear as agate.

After doing all this tremblingly, the two of them were so relieved that they didn't have time to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads, and stepped aside in a panic. And when it was the turn of the next two, the little girl was okay, the cheongsam girl was already as pale as snow with fright, the rouge on her face was soaked in cold sweat, and her hands trembled.

Soon it was Gu Yan's turn and the girl who had just kindly reminded him, at this time Gu Yan was not frightened by the blood in front of him, he just wanted revenge, he swore that if he didn't die, he would "kill me" and eat him alive. Even if it's the City Lord's Mansion, what is there to fear?

Suddenly, Gu Yan noticed the strangeness of the girl beside her, when it was her turn, looking at the terrifying head close at hand, her whole person seemed to be terminally ill, even if it was a gorgeous rouge, it could not hide her sickly white cheeks, due to excessive fear, Fang was still full of water, only a blank and dead silence remained.

The puppet-like jade arm mechanically picked up the jade bottle full of blood, but suddenly, his hand slipped, and all the blood in Lian Qian fell into the bloody mouth of the skull.

"Looking for death, if you break the young master's elixir, I will use your blood to sacrifice the pill." Looking at the girl's "waste" behavior, the guard was furious, and pulled out the saber at his waist with a "smack" and slashed at the girl's head.

The white sword flickered in the faint light, and the girl woke up suddenly, but as soon as a trace of clarity was regained in her eyes, the desperate death came quietly, and the whole person stayed in place again.

"Khooth!"

Seeing that the girl's beautiful head was about to be split in half, but at a distance of three centimeters from the girl's head, she suddenly remembered the crisp sound of gold and iron, and burst out with dazzling sparks, only to see an arm full of golden scales tightly holding the sharp blade, and amazingly, the arm was unharmed, no matter how hard the guards tried, the blade could not advance a point.

"Who?" The guard shouted in horror, and the kind girl who was ready to meet death slowly opened her eyes and looked beside her, only to see a slender and handsome young man standing quietly, like an angry lion, holding the sharp cold light tightly in his right hand.

"Is that you?" The girl's beauty finally regained a trace of blood, her lips opened slightly, and her wonderful eyes stared at the young man beside her, and she was shocked again and again.

"Who are you?" The guard asked in horror, trying to pull back the saber, but he found that the boy was still clenching the blade, and he couldn't even twitch half a minute.

"Who am I?" Gu Yan said to himself as if he was crazy, the bloodshot tiger eyes stared at the guard in front of him, remembering the miserable appearance when he was thrown five years ago, the young man's hand holding the blade began to slowly increase his strength, and in the guard's frightened trembling, the blade was directly nested into a round tube, Gu Yan's face set off a terrifying arc, and said gloomily: "I am a ghost!"

"Khooth!"

With a crisp buzz, the entire steel saber snapped apart, and suddenly opened its scaly palm, like a sharp eagle's claw, and grabbed straight towards the guard's neck.

"Let it go...... Let go of me, I'm the city ...... The lord of the castle ...... "The guard is like a twitching toad, kicking his legs in the air due to excessive suffocation and pain.

"Click!"

However, before he could finish speaking, with a pleasant cracking sound, his entire neck bone was directly shattered, his head drooped weakly in front of his chest, staring at the ground with disbelief in his eyes. With just one move, Yipin Yuanshi fell.

"Someone, come on!" Death happened between the lightning and flint, just a moment, the guards who were still commanding directly screamed, the entire secret room suddenly became noisy, those innocent little maids suddenly collapsed to the ground in fright, and the guards of the city lord's mansion shouted in horror, and in an instant, the guards patrolling outside the corridor quickly rushed towards the secret room
