The Red Scale Demon said tremblingly:

"I, the little demon, am here on the orders of the Demon King Tiankui... to buy some human children for him to enjoy."

Jiang Lihuo's eyes instantly became sharp, murderous intent burst out, and he shouted:

"Who did you buy it from? How much did you buy? How many times did you trade? Tell me all this truthfully!"

The Red Scale Demon knelt on the ground again and replied in a trembling voice:

"Marquis Yong... Marquis Yongning bought... over three thousand children. As for how many times this transaction took place, I can't remember exactly. I've been ordered to trade with him two or three times every year, and this has been going on for over thirty years."

Hearing this, the murderous intent in Jiang Lihuo's eyes almost became real. She took a deep breath and glanced at Chu Xingdao beside her:

"Is it okay with you to kill this demon?"

"It's up to you, Princess. We at Piaomiao Peak won't accept any monsters with a criminal record." Chu Xing shook his head.

"Sir, please spare me..." The red-scaled monster turned pale with horror.

However, before the words of begging for mercy could be fully uttered, they were interrupted by a sudden burst of heat.

laugh--

Jiang Lihuo waved his sleeve lightly, and a wisp of deep red flame shot out like a spirit snake, instantly wrapping up the red-scaled monster.

The flame was deep in color, as if containing endless destructive power, which made people feel awe at the first sight.

The red-scaled monster only had time to let out a short scream before it was burned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the air.

At this moment, his figure and his breath seemed to have never existed, leaving only a charred ground and a faint burnt smell in the air, proving his arrival.

Jiang Lihuo looked at the direction where the wisp of green smoke dissipated, her eyes as cold as frost, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.

……

On the other side, Wang Huntian and Wan Shankong successfully found Li Qinghe and Pushe who were hiding in the cesspool.

Li Qinghe's eyes were filled with tears. After coming out, he wanted to give Wan Shankong a hug:

"Master! You don't know that we have been lying in the cesspool for seven or eight days just to survive. If you don't come soon, I will be sickened to death!"

Wan Shankong pinched his nose and dodged with disgust, "Use some dust removal techniques on yourself first!"

After Li Qinghe performed more than a dozen dust removal techniques, he put his hand to his nose and sniffed again. He found that it still smelled bad, and immediately said with a bitter face:

"It seems to be useless, Master. I might have been pickled!"

Wan Shankong glared at him and said, "Then don't come near me for now."

Li Qinghe hugged his thigh and started to complain:

"Master, you must help me! The people at Yongning Marquis' Mansion are simply too much of a bully. I even introduced myself as your disciple, but they still tied me up and brought me back, saying you're nothing. If I hadn't escaped and hidden myself in the storage bag sewn into the lining of my clothes, you might never have seen me again."

Wan Shankong flew into a rage upon hearing this:

"Humph! What a wonderful Yongning Marquisate! Qinghe, don't worry. Today, I will not stop until I have overturned this Marquisate!"

However, he soon seemed to realize something, and the expression on his face instantly changed from anger to joy:

"Qinghe, you're not stuttering anymore! It's true that you usually stay in the cave for too long, which is why you're so dull. Now that you've come out to experience some new life, you've become cheerful and even visited brothels!"

Li Qinghe's face froze when he found his character collapsed. He quickly put on an icy face and said hesitantly:

"It's like this when I'm excited... I haven't... changed."

Wan Shankong patted his shoulder with great relief:

"Haha, any change is good. Don't be discouraged. At worst, I can take you out for more experience in the future."

Li Qinghe looked desperate and too lazy to pretend anymore, so he advised:

"Master, I think you should give my senior brothers and sisters some chances. If you always favor some over others, they will definitely feel unbalanced!"

"Haha, okay, I'll bring them all with me when the time comes," Wan Shankong said with a hearty laugh.

"Master is wise!" Li Qinghe now felt balanced!

"Let's go, let's go and talk to the Princess and the others first, and then ask for an explanation from the Marquis of Yongning."

Wan Shankong strode ahead, followed by Wang Huntian, Li Qinghe and Pushe.

After a while, the group of four met Jiang Lihuo in the largest house in the mansion.

At this moment, she was sitting at the stone table with a murderous look on her face, drinking tea quietly.

Chu Xing was busy bending over, holding a thick rope in his hand, and was forcefully tying up the Yongning Marquis and the Qian couple who were kneeling on the ground.

They were like lost dogs, limp as mud, lying on the ground, unable to move.

Marquis Yongning's face was full of fear and unwillingness, while Qian was already in tears.

Wang Huntian saw this and stepped forward and asked doubtfully:

"Princess, why did you also arrest the Marquis of Yongning?"

Jiang Lihuo raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, saying angrily:

"How dare you ask? I think you should quit being the city lord. When I return, I'll tell my brother to send someone else to take over as city lord!"

Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Wang Huntian's forehead.

However, facing the furious Jiang Lihuo, even though he was confused, he didn't dare to say another word.

In desperation, he could only secretly cast an inquiring look at Chu Xing.

Chu Xing told him about the Yongning Marquis's trafficking of children.

"Three thousand at a time? Two or three times a year?" Wang Huntian was shocked. "How is that possible? Even though there are over 20 million cultivators and mortals in the city, there are thousands of children disappearing every year. I can't possibly be completely unaware of this!"

Chu Xingdao:

"According to Marquis Yongning, most of them were abducted from surrounding mortal counties, towns, and villages. Come to think of it, I saw one in Fenglin County a few months ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

After a pause, he looked at Jiang Lihuo again and said cautiously:

"Princess, after all, many of these children were abducted from outside the city. The City Lord is mainly responsible for the affairs within the city, so it is understandable that he was not careful at the time."

Chu Xing felt it necessary to say a good word for this old guy.

Otherwise, the city lord's order given by the previous city lord may not be effective in this Hun Tian Immortal City.

Jiang Lihuo glanced at Chu Xing coldly, then looked at Wang Huntian and said:

"Since you've been diligent in governing the city over the years, I'll give you one more chance. If you do it again, I won't let you off easily!"

Wang Huntian heaved a sigh of relief and thanked her profusely, "Thank you, Princess, for your generosity! I will definitely work even harder in the future!"

Jiang Lihuo nodded slightly and said coldly:

"All subsequent matters concerning the Yongning Marquis' Mansion will be handled by you for me. Remember, confiscate the property and exterminate the entire clan, leaving no one alive! Anyone outside the Marquis' Mansion who is involved in this matter will be killed without mercy!

"As ordered!"
