my apprentice is the villain

Li Muhua originally wanted to use a smile to ease the serious atmosphere in the room, but when he saw the two expressionless faces and Jiang Mingqing looking at him cautiously, he withdrew his smile tactfully, and said bitterly: "Zongli All the brothers and sisters tried their best to rescue those people who had not been demonized, but in the end there were less than a thousand people left. However, there were more than [-] people in the entire Jinyang City, but now only There are more than [-] people left..."

"What about the demonized people?" Jiang Mingqing asked, frowning.

"The first three ordinary people can't even defeat the disciples of the Jindan stage. I'm afraid the three demonized people have already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul." Li Muhua said with a frown.

"Why didn't we see those people when we entered the city?" Chu Tuhe asked suddenly.

Li Muhua and Jiang Mingqing set their sights on Chu Tuhe, Chu Tuhe was not timid but looked into Li Muhua's eyes, his solemn expression was exactly the same as that of Jiang Mingqing who was sitting next to him.

Li Muhua wanted to laugh, but after thinking that it didn't fit the current atmosphere, he endured it and put on the same serious expression: "There are 32 disciples in the sect, and they killed nearly [-] common people out of helplessness. The rest were afraid of the sun, so they hid one after another and disappeared. But they didn’t disappear, instead, every evening, all those people would appear.”

"That is to say, there are more than [-] civilians in the entire Jinyang City, and all of them will appear tonight?"

Li Muhua nodded and said, "That's right."

"What about the rest of the people?" Jiang Mingqing asked again.

"It's all in the larger mansions in various mansions in the city. I have already set up formations in various mansions, and those demonized people can't break through the formations for the time being. It's just..."

Seeing Li Muhua hesitating, Jiang Mingqing had no choice but to ask, "Just what?"

When Li Muhua saw Jiang Mingqing asked, he expressed his concerns: "I was thinking, can those people turn back to ordinary people, if they turn back to ordinary people, then my brothers and I killed that How will the suzerain and master deal with us. But if those people can't change back to people, how should we deal with these people?"

"Now is not the time to think about these things. What we want to protect now are the remaining villagers who have not been demonized. We don't want to think about the others for the time being. Before it's still early, you should send an urgent letter to Zongli to ask Master Jin and Feng Master Wu to hurry up Come on, I want to set up a formation with the two of them in Jinyang City to prevent these demonized people from escaping. By the way, I will strengthen the formation in the house where the people live."

Hearing this, Li Muhua said solemnly: "Oh, don't worry about that, these demonized people will not leave Jinyang City, and I have already notified the suzerain, and the suzerain should be able to send someone soon come over."

Jiang Mingqing was surprised when he heard this: "Why?"

"Every night, although these people would come out to wander around, they just wandered around in the city from the beginning to the end, like a group of headless flies, looking for something, but they never found it, so they stayed in Jinyang City for a long time and did not leave. Go out one. I think there might be people from the demon race behind this." Li Muhua looked at Jiang Mingqing and expressed his conclusion.

Jiang Mingqing raised his eyebrows: "It's so strange?"

"Then, is the lord of Jinyang City still alive?" Jiang Mingqing asked again.

"Well, it's still there, and it's in this mansion."

"Take me to find him."

Li Muhua didn't dare to delay, and led Jiang Mingqing and Chu Tuhe to the city lord's wing in a hurry.

The castellan's wing is in a simple and elegantly decorated garden of the mansion.

When Jiang Mingqing and his party arrived, the Lord of Jinyang City was sitting in the garden playing chess calmly.

"That is the lord of Jinyang City, Lu Fengzhi."

Lu Fengzhi's appearance was only in his thirties, and when he played chess with himself, there was a sense of leisurely comfort and relaxation in every gesture, as if nothing could affect his ability to play chess. Feeling.

"May I ask City Lord Lu if there are any rare treasures in Jinyang City?" Jiang Mingqing didn't have the time to talk to Lu Fengzhi, so he could only go straight to the point.

Hearing someone calling him again, Lu Fengzhi paused holding the chess piece, put the chess piece back into the chess box, looked up at Jiang Mingqing, and said with a faint smile: "There are no rare treasures in this city, and some are just It's just a plain black sword."

"Heijian? Can the city lord please tell me all of them? This is related to the names of the remaining people in the city."

"Why not?" After saying that, Lu Fengzhi smiled again, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes.

After organizing his vocabulary, Lu Fengzhi spoke slowly: "Although this Jinyang City is the city of ordinary people, people from all walks of life have been looking for this black sword all year round. The sword looks unremarkable, but it cuts iron like mud and has short hair. At first, the first city lord thought that this sword was just a sharp weapon among mortals, so he didn't think much about it. Throw it into the warehouse in the city lord's mansion. But who knows, within a few days, people from the demon race rushed to the city lord's mansion, trying to take the sword away. The first city lord gave the black sword to the people for the sake of the people. I went out, but what I never thought was that a master suddenly appeared, repulsed all the demons, sealed the black sword, and confessed to the first city lord that the black sword would not be unsealed until a hundred years later. , when the time comes to find someone to strengthen the seal, remember not to fall into the hands of the demons, otherwise the world will be in chaos."

After Lu Fengzhi finished speaking slowly, Jiang Mingqing and his party were silent for a while before speaking again: "Then City Lord Lu, where is the whereabouts of this black sword now?"

Lu Fengzhi stroked the beard on his chin: "Naturally, it's in the city lord's mansion, in the secret inner room."

"In that case, let City Lord Lu lead the way. I want to take out that black sword."

"This... forgive me for being helpless." Lu Fengzhi sighed and declined Jiang Mingqing's request.

"I don't know why the city lord is doing this?"

"It's not that I won't help you, it's just that the black sword has recognized its owner. For a hundred years, no one has been able to get close to that black sword. Normally, if you said you took this sword, I would give it to you directly, but now it's not possible. Black The seal of the sword fades, and everyone who takes a step closer to the black sword will be wounded by the black sword and lose their lives as a result, no matter how powerful that person is." After finishing speaking, City Lord Lu sighed again.

"This..." Jiang Mingqing and Li Muhua glanced at each other.

"I hope the Lord of the City will lead the way. Regardless of the result or not, I will bear it all." Li Muhua stepped forward to salute Lu Fengzhi.

Seeing how persistent Jiang Mingqing and the others were, Lu Fengzhi sighed again. Under the protection of Jiang Mingqing and Li Muhua, he entered the City Lord's Mansion and opened the warehouse door of the City Lord's Mansion.

After opening the door, Lu Fengzhi stayed at the door.

"I'll just bring you here. As for whether I can subdue that black sword, I'll see you."

"Thank you, City Lord Lu."

"You are Welcome."

"You two stay here, I'll go in and take a look." Jiang Mingqing turned his head and said to Li Muhua and Chu Tuhe.

Both Chu Tuhe and Li Muhua were taken aback, but the young Chu Tuhe was the first to react.

"No! I'm with Master."

"I'll accompany you in, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the head if you are in danger."

The two sang together one after the other.I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen to Jiang Mingqing once he goes in.

Jiang Mingqing also didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You two really want me to have an accident, right?"

"But." Li Muhua opened his mouth to say something, but Jiang Mingqing stopped him first.

"My cultivation base is higher than yours, so if something happens to me when I go in, I can take care of myself and get out, but I'm not sure that I can take care of the second person at the same time. Besides, City Lord Lu can't have any accidents, you Do you understand what I mean?"

When Li Muhua saw that Jiang Mingqing was talking about this, he just opened his mouth, and finally fell silent.

Chu Tuhe also stood beside Li Muhua without saying a word.

"Okay, if something happens to me, then you all have to take City Lord Lu and evacuate quickly, and leave me alone."

Jiang Mingqing thought about it for a while and then told Li Muhua, and then he went into the warehouse.

After watching Jiang Mingqing completely enter the warehouse, Li Muhua turned his head to Chu Tuhe and said, "Tuhe, don't worry, Peak Master Jiang will come out soon... Where is he?!"

Tilting his head, he looked at the empty space beside him, and the little person who should have been standing beside him disappeared now.

Li Muhua felt his heart beating, trembling.

Oh my God!

Li Muhua realized later that Chu Tuhe had followed Jiang Mingqing into the warehouse, and he had a headache, but because of Qing Pingzong's face, he didn't immediately show his panic, but pretended to be calm and calm. Lu Fengzhi had something to say.

This kid, Tuhe, is too worrying!

The light in the warehouse is dim, except for a few illuminated moonstones that allow people to vaguely see what is in the passage, they can't even see if there is anything deep in the passage.

Jiang Mingqing raised his eyebrows helplessly, took a moonstone with enough light in his hand, and walked forward slowly.

Just two steps away, the clothes were grabbed by someone, and the footsteps stopped.

If it wasn't for the fact that the person who pulled my clothes didn't have any murderous intent, I'm afraid that the person I've already cut off half of my edge didn't even know my own mother.

As soon as this idea came up, he turned around and met a pair of familiar dark eyes.

"Tu He?" How did you come here?

"Master, Tuhe wants to be with you."

Looking at the villain trying to look up to him, with a firmness in his eyes that he couldn't underestimate, Jiang Mingqing knew that his apprentice had started to be willful and impulsive again.

He raised his head, supported his forehead, and calmed down for a while before Jiang Mingqing managed to maintain his composure, with a serious expression and a stern tone: "Get out, this is not where you should come!"

Chu Tuhe was taken aback for a moment, this was the first time in his life that he had seen his master treat him so harshly, and for a moment he even forgot to refute, and stared at Jiang Mingqing blankly.
