The other person was deep in thought, “I didn’t expect that this Guest Minister would be so ruthless. However, I have to admit that setting a bait to lure the enemies into a trap will have a miraculous effect.”
The two of them chimed in. It was obvious that they had done something wrong.
However, no matter what, it was to kill the demon cultivators and they had succeeded.
Hence, this kind of mistake could be brushed aside.
In truth, in this cultivation world, few people cared about the lives of ordinary people.
Sacrificing a few ordinary people in exchange for a few Sacred Heart Palace demons was a huge profit!
At least, that was what these two officials thought.
Fu Shuangni frowned, she felt that something was not right. She glanced at Zhixian who was sweating profusely, then looked at Bi Xu who had a serious expression on his face.
She vaguely understood something. However, she did not point it out.
Fu Shuangni said, “The sacrificed officials will be given ten times the amount of compensation to their families. They will also set up monuments and shrines in Qinghe County to spread their achievements and let the people know their contributions.”
“Also.” She turned to Bi Xu. “You all mentioned Cultivator Bai, and the dossier also recorded some content about him, but did you write down the details. Who is he?”
Bai Yi had played the biggest role in wiping out the demon cultivators in the county, and it was impossible to get around it.
Facing the question, Bi Xu could only answer, “Cultivator Bai is a wandering cultivator of Qinghe county. He is righteous and abhors evil, and his cultivation is not ordinary. It was Cultivator Bai who helped Qinghe county catch those demon cultivators and kill them one by one.”
He said apologetically, “Among those demon cultivators in Sacred Heart Palace, there was a Foundation Establishment demon. I was not his match. When he escaped, it was Cultivator Bai who chased after him and killed him.”
“However… I don’t know if Cultivator Bai was too humble, but he said that he did not kill the Foundation Establishment demon cultivator. Someone else had killed the demon cultivator. As for the specifics, I don’t know either.”
Fu Shuangni and the others came to a realization. They had long seen that the Qing he county’s immortal cultivators were all weak.
Even this Guest Minister called ‘Bi Xu’ was only at the tenth level of the Qi Refinement stage.
How could they kill so many Sacred Heart Palace demon cultivators?
It turned out…
They had a powerful external aid.
An itinerant cultivator known as Cultivator Bai?
Fu Shuangni did not know why, but she could not help but shift her gaze to the silent Human Puppet, because the Human Puppet was also an itinerant cultivator.
After hearing that Cultivator Bai was an itinerant cultivator, she could not help but think of Man Lei.
The itinerant cultivators near Qinghe County…
Were they all so powerful?
“What’s his name?” Fu Shuangni asked curiously.
Bi Xu replied hesitantly, “Bai Yi.”
Bai Yi.
After silently memorizing this name, Fu Shuangni said to the magistrate, “Is there a spare guest room in the county office? We will stay in Qinghe County for no less than three months.”
“We believe that not only are there these demon cultivators in Qinghe County, but they also came to Qinghe County with impure motives. We need to investigate their motives clearly.”
“Tomorrow, inform everyone in the county office to pay attention to the outsiders who enter Qinghe County.”
“Write down all their basic information!”
Huh?
The guest rooms were fine, but there were plenty of them in the county office. The problem was… Record all the Outsiders who entered Qinghe County? How much work would that be?
The magistrate felt rather bitter.
It was over.
It seemed that he would now give up his life and become an ascetic!
“Yes…”
But did he dare to refute?
He felt that if he rejected it, he did not even have the qualifications to be an ascetic!
Sigh!
Damn demons!
…
Time passed.
At midnight, Fu Shuangni was in a guest room of the county office, quietly meditating and cultivating, recovering from the exhaustion in her mind.
The guest room in the county office was very simple. There was a small round table, a wooden stool, a bed, a quilt, and a pillow.
It was gone.
For a princess of a country to live in such a place was indeed a little out of place, but Fu Shuangni clearly did not care about this.
When she was being chased by Golden Core great demons, she even spent the night in the wilderness.
Now, to have a place to stay, it was not bad!
“Whew! Not too bad.”
After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, the candles in the guest room had long been extinguished. Fu Shuangni opened her beautiful eyes. She helplessly shook her head. “The spiritual Qi in this place is too thin. Moreover, it’s a little messy and difficult to enter a meditative state.”
She was upset because she was confused. Who exactly wanted to attack her?
Who had the ability to get a Golden Core demon to kill her?
Fu Shuangni knew that she was in a dangerous situation. If it was not for Li Feiyu living next door, she would not even be able to close her eyes.
She was afraid that she would not be able to open them again.
Thinking about how much she owed Li Feiyu, Fu Shuangni could not help but smile.
She estimated that she would have to return to the Imperial City to pay back all the things she owed.
Hiring a Golden Core cultivator to protect her was really too expensive!
Just as her thoughts were wandering, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a few lines of words that appeared out of thin air, making her think that she was too tired and had a strange illusion.
However, in the next moment.
She instantly woke up and realized that this was not an illusion!
