Chapter 281, the old man's words

"Of course, I know this." Chu Li raised his hand and strengthened the formation with his own spiritual power, "It's just that if they regard me as a foreign enemy because I borrowed demonic energy, then I won't treat them as allies." ”

"No one else will know about today's events." Qin Nuo held his sword and said slowly, "Lili, go and ask Qingshan for help." We are no match for that cult. ”

Chu Li's knuckles curled up slightly almost invisibly: "Okay, I'll go ask for help." ”

The golden messenger floated into the air, but before it reached the sky, the black mist was enveloped, and it slowly lost its brilliance.

"The Battle of the Trapped Beasts......"

Under the city walls, an old voice came slowly.

Chu Li looked sideways and found that it was the old man in tattered clothes that they saw by the wall on the day they first came.

He was still dressed in tatters, but there was still a faint glint in his eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Li helped Qin Nuo fly over and asked, "Are you ...... Know what? ”

"The lord of this city is Fa Xiu, although it is in the middle stage, its combat power may not be higher than that of the two of you combined." The old man's eyes closed slightly, "That evil cultivator can easily capture and kill the two of you, how can he let him go." ”

Chu Li's eyes narrowed: "You saw it all." ”

"How do you see it, what if you don't see it?" The old man chuckled, and even the messy beard on his chin trembled, "Is there any truly good person in this world...... The mortals in Ningzhou were taken out of Ningzhou at the beginning of the evil cultivation rebellion, and those who couldn't leave occasionally died in this war. ”

"How can such a small city accommodate so many mortals, why doesn't he, a city lord in the middle of Jindan, die?"

Qin Nuo frowned: "You mean, the city lord, he colluded with the evil cultivators?" Who the hell are you? ”

"Me? It's just a waste person who has lost his cultivation, and he should have died a long time ago. The old man's tone was careless, "After all, I am worthy of my heart, as for believing it or not, it has nothing to do with me......"

Before the old man could finish his words, he lay dead by the city wall.

Chu Li used his spiritual power to probe his meridians, and found that the meridians in his body were all broken, and there was even a piece missing in the dantian, and only half of the broken golden pill remained, which was dim.

It was a Jindan monk who was forcibly destroyed by someone.

Chu Li was suddenly puzzled in his heart, and his eyebrows also frowned inadvertently.

Conspiracy, conspiracy.

Open hatred, secret fighting.

Chu Li stretched out his hand and released a ball of spiritual fire that burned the old man's body, letting his Yuan Shen go away.

Qin Nuo watched from the sidelines, and he was also suspicious in his heart.

"He ...... what he said"

"When a man says something that you don't know is true or false, then go and find out what he said for what he said." Chu Li's expression was serious, "He said that the city lord has a problem, if you and I really believe it, what will I do?" ”

"If it were someone else, he would be angry in his heart and want to spread the news, or find out about it and leave here."

"I'll just leave here and record his words into the soundstone for others to find out the truth." Chu Li indifferently coiled a crystal stone around his fingertips, "Arnold, it's better to make a choice." ”

"Do you choose to defend this city, or take the risk of breaking through the siege and send this sound stone to Qingshan."

Both of these options are very dangerous.

Outside this city, there are a large number of demons eyeing and besieging this place, and inside the city, there is a city lord who is suspected of colluding with evil cultivators.

If the city lord of this city really colluded with the evil cultivators, then what was the transaction?

It is nothing more than the life of a monk and the flesh and blood of mortals.

However, the evil cultivator didn't seem to want to kill Chu Li.

Qin Nuo looked at the glorious painting stone and said firmly: "I will go to Qingshan for help, and you stay here." ”

Chu Li handed the sound stone into Qin Nuo's hand: "Okay." ”

"It's a matter of sooner rather than later, and if they wait for a long time, it will make them take precautions." Qin Nuo clenched the Jiyue Sword in his hand, "Or, we can walk together......"

"Qingshan won't allow it, if you and I leave, then you will abandon the city and flee." Chu Li separated a wisp of demonic qi from his body, and with the power of chaos, it submerged into Qin Nuo's sword tip, "This demonic qi will be dispersed when it is used up, or it may be able to help you." ”

"Goodbye."

"Whoosh-"

Chu Li watched Qin Nuo's light disappear into the dark sky, and his eyes were slightly condensed.

I hope that Qin Nuo can return safely.

Black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

Chu Li walked alone on the crowded streets of the city, and walked to the place where he met the old man when he first arrived.

There was a black spot in the corner of the wall, which should have been rubbed by the old man before.

Chu Li walked over slowly, but a pair of small hands behind her grabbed the corner of her skirt.

"Sister Fairy......"

Chu Li paused and turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

It was a toddler of about three or four years old, and he was staggering and unsteady when he walked.

He was wearing a coarse cloth garment, stained with blood.

"My mother said that you are an immortal, can the fairy sister save people, my mother is so painful, and she vomited blood just now......"

"I'm not an immortal, I'm a monk. Immortals can benefit sentient beings, but monks cannot. ”

If you save one, you must save the mortals of this city.

Drowning people tend to grasp at that last straw, whether or not they are pulled into the abyss.

"Although I don't know how to heal, I'm good at fighting, and I won't let those monsters outside come in and bully you."

A look of disappointment flashed on the child's immature face, but he nodded obediently and walked away with the children on the side.

Chu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the back of them leaving together, thinking in his heart.

If she had just gotten rid of this child, it would have been not one, but a group of people who would have been saved.

The child was the youngest of so many children, Chu Li thought, they were trying to arouse the sympathy in her heart.

It's just that Chu Li is different from those righteous Xianmen monks.

Chu Li retracted his gaze and poured his divine sense into the wall to investigate.

In fact, Chu Li didn't know if that person had left anything valuable, but sitting back and waiting for death had never been Chu Li's way of doing things.

Regardless of whether the city lord had a problem or not, Chu Li had a thorn in his heart because of the old man's words after all, and he was on guard against the city lord.

Moreover, what is the idea of the Nine Souls Palace.

Every group of people said something different from Chu Li, and every thing and every sentence also made Chu Li fall into the middle of the turmoil.

Chu Li couldn't escape, and he didn't bother to escape.

Since the evil cultivator had other ideas, then she might as well just stay here and see what he had in mind and what he wanted to do.
