Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Song Zhi watched Song Chenfeng crawl through the dog hole with his own eyes. After he crawled through, he kept shouting, "Come on, hurry up and follow me."

Song Zhi pursed his lips, stepped silently, and jumped directly over the wall.

Then Song Chenfeng saw a beautiful figure slowly falling in front of him.

Then everyone jumped over the wall.

He suddenly looked enlightened, "Oh, so this is possible. Then I..."

Song Zhi shook his head in an indescribable manner and walked forward.

Meng Qi sneered mercilessly, "Brother Song, you don't look very smart."

Song Chenfeng was embarrassed. "I was in a hurry and didn't think too much about it."

The group went straight into the yard, which was next to the City Lord's Mansion, but the structure was completely different from the City Lord's Mansion. There were not many decorations inside, only rows of houses.

Song Zhi went forward and opened the door of the first room. Before she could see what was inside, she heard chaotic footsteps in front of her, and then countless arms stretched out in front of her.

"Sir, let my blood flow, let my blood flow!"

"Let me go. I'm only one step away from being qualified to embark on the path to immortality. Just one step away."

"Sir, I haven't eaten anything for a whole day and night to ensure the purity of my blood."

Everyone was talking at once, with crazy looks on their faces.

Song Zhi took a step back, and Meng Qi quickly took his soldiers to isolate them in the house.

At this time, the people inside finally saw that the person coming was not who they thought, and immediately withdrew their arms with disappointment on their faces.

They turned back dejectedly and huddled in the corner silently.

Song Zhi roughly counted and found that there were about twenty or thirty people here. Each of them was starving to the point of being skin and bones, with sunken eye sockets, like corpses.

Song Chenfeng said from behind: "That's not right, why did they beat me when I just came, and why didn't they beat you when you came?"

Song Zhi said, "Do you think they all have brains like you, but they're just decorations?"

With so many of them coming, no one with a bit of intelligence would choose to take action.

Next they opened each room in turn, and each experience was similar.

There were a few people in the room who were stubborn enough to want to fight, but they were scared back by A-luan using a hammer.

Song Zhi carefully observed that the clothes these people wore were the clothes they wore for working in the fields. They did not look like city people. He could not help but think of the village where there was no one.

So she went straight back to the first room and asked, "You are all from the nearby village, right?"

There was no answer from inside, only silence.

Song Zhi frowned slightly and immediately changed his tone, "Answer whatever I ask next, or you will never have the chance to donate blood and embark on the path to immortality."

Her words worked immediately. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked up at her.

Song Zhi said, "Are you villagers from nearby?"

"Yes."

They nodded.

Song Chenfeng on the side: "!!!"

"That's okay!"

At that time, he could talk until his mouth was dry but these people didn't respond. It turned out that just a simple threat was enough.

Song Zhi continued, "Tell me in detail what it was like to embark on the immortal path."

It can be seen that those who mentioned the word "immortal path" were obviously hesitant.

However, under pressure from Song Zhi, they still spoke slowly, "It's Master Wuchen, the most respected Zen master in Wanfo Temple besides the abbot. He said that if we stay here and shed blood ninety-nine times, we can be reborn and embark on the path to immortality. At that time, the disasters of the mortal world will no longer threaten our lives, and we can ascend to the Ninth Heaven and live in the fairyland."

As they spoke, those people's eyes were filled with longing, as if they had already entered a fairyland.

Song Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Did any of you succeed in becoming immortal?"

"Of course there is!"

Speaking of this, everyone suddenly became excited. "We saw with our own eyes that our neighbor who had shed enough blood in front of us successfully ascended to heaven. Colorful auspicious clouds came to greet him, and he was up to the sky in a flash."

They were filled with endless anticipation. "But it's too late for you to realize this opportunity. Master Wuchen said that only a few villages near Wucheng are auspicious places. Only those who grow up in these places can be born into immortality. So don't even think about competing with us for the chance to become immortal."

Song Zhi tried hard to recall. She was familiar with Wanfo Temple, but no matter how hard she thought, she could not think of a person like Wu Chen.

These people must have been deceived.

But Song Zhi was really curious about what the colorful auspicious clouds and ascension they were talking about were.

So she asked directly, "Where is Master Wuchen now?"

The people said, "Master Wuchen has long since returned to dust because he revealed the secrets of heaven to us."

It is also because of this that Master Wu Chen’s words are more convincing.

Since a dead person cannot seek benefits for himself, there is no need to deceive them. Therefore, everyone believes this statement without a doubt.

Finally, Song Zhi asked the last question.

"What kind of food have you been eating for so long?"

The people replied, "Meat. The city lord said they have many sheep and they kill them for us every day. He said that when we become immortals, we must bless Wucheng, so we have enough mutton."

As they spoke, a hint of disgust flashed across their faces. "It's just that the mutton tastes weird, not quite like regular mutton. But in these times of famine, it's good enough to have something to eat. There's no reason for us to complain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Qi and others suddenly ran out and started to feel nauseous.

They kept retching, as if they wanted to vomit out everything they had eaten.

Song Chenfeng was puzzled, "They are pregnant?"

Meng Qi cursed, "You are pregnant, your whole family is pregnant."

After saying this, Song Zhi realized that his words were inappropriate, and quickly added, "We ate something bad, don't worry about us."

Song Zhi and Xin Wanyun knew why Meng Qi and the others reacted this way, but they wouldn't say it out loud. They exchanged a sullen look and said, "Don't expect anything. There are no immortals in this world."

The so-called ascension to immortality is nothing more than appearing in the small courtyard next to the blood pool.

Song Zhi didn't dare to recall the scene at that time.

If she had not been sure before, she was now completely certain.

This city is a huge devil's den.

This group of people were imprisoned here without knowing it, and all the others were executioners.

No wonder they are all fat and strong, because they have no shortage of food.

Song Zhi had goose bumps all over his body without knowing when. He finally found the reason why he had been repelled by this city from the beginning.
