Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 38: False Immortality
The angrier you are, the calmer you need to be.
Qi Ji warned himself like this, forcing himself to suppress his impulse.
He did not rashly move these poor bodies, nor did he immediately destroy the magic circles carved on the ground and walls.
He slowly closed the heavy door again and walked out of the house.
He has several things to do now.
The first is to destroy all nodes except the core node of the City Lord’s Mansion as quickly as possible before the City Lord finds out something is wrong .
Second, he needs a trustworthy helper with a certain amount of power to assist him in rescuing those innocent people who may exist and have not yet been turned into "fuel".
Thirdly, he rushed into the City Lord's Mansion and completely killed the Cologne City Lord who was suspected to be an apostle.
…
Late at night, about an hour later.
Jeppard felt something was wrong in his sleep and suddenly woke up and sat up.
Then he saw the dark figure standing at the head of the bed.
He was about to scold, but suddenly realized that if the other party wanted to kill him, he would have been dead in his dream.
So he calmed down, looked at the figure and asked, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
This figure was naturally Qi Ji, who was wearing a black mask and night clothes.
He said nothing, but threw a scroll to Jeppard .
Jeppard immediately reached out to take it, his attention was only slightly distracted, and when he raised his eyes again, Qi Ji was gone.
He immediately opened the scroll, revealing a map with nine locations marked on it, and a short paragraph.
He took a quick look, his face became extremely solemn, he quickly dressed, and then left the room immediately.
More than ten minutes later, he brought the most loyal men in the garrison and rode to the location shown on the map given to him by Qi Ji, and then saw the scene there.
The eyes of the young and upright garrison officer, and his loyal subordinates who were united by his sense of justice, all simultaneously burst into flames of rage.
At this time, Qi Ji had already relied on his extraordinary skills to arrive at the central inner castle of Longjiewiti City.
Relying on his keen sense of vitality, he avoided all the guards and sneaked deeper into the inner castle. Soon he reached the depths of the inner castle through a spiral staircase.
Deep underground, there is a small locked room that looks like an office.
Qi Ji only exerted a little force and physically opened the lock of the door of the small room.
The room is now pitch black, but with his superhuman eyesight, Qi Ji can see the entire room clearly with just the faint light coming through the corner of the spiral staircase.
There are bookshelves on both sides and a large desk in the middle. The whole room is clean and tidy, spotless.
He saw an oil lamp on the table, so he walked over, blew out the tinder next to the lamp, and then lit the oil lamp.
The light in the room changed from pitch black to dim.
There is a pile of notebooks on the desk.
Maybe this is what the city lord wrote?
Qi Ji put on the magic glasses, opened the notebook and started reading. From the content, it looked a bit like a diary, but it was scattered and did not look like a complete diary.
Qi Ji relied on his own judgment to integrate some seemingly key content:
"More and more people are applying to settle in Longjieweiti . After my grandfather and father spread the fame of the City of Eternal Life, this city has been longed for by countless people across the continent. Everything is moving in a good direction..."
"The Fountain of Life is about to dry up. Does that mean that the glory of Longjeviti will end in my generation? No, this must not happen..."
"Today a strange man came to see me and said he could solve my problem. He also gave me a strange black egg. He spoke in a mysterious way and I drove him away..."
"The Fountain of Life has dried up. I can feel that the city's once-vigorous vitality is gradually dissipating... Perhaps, soon, the name of the City of Immortality will no longer be worthy of its name..."
"That weird guy is here again. This time he gave me a scroll and kept saying some incomprehensible things..."
"I am already very old, but my aptitude is too poor. I have been stuck at the third level for too long and have been unable to break through to the fourth level. Without the power of the Fountain of Life, I may soon die..."
"The formation recorded on that scroll is really useful! I can feel the vitality surging in my body again!"
"If we want to expand the range of this formation to the entire Longjieweiti, then this amount of 'fuel' is far from enough!"
"There is a strong man who has set his sights on this city and wants to take over the position of city lord. This is absolutely impossible!"
"He is too strong, a fourth-level warrior, and it is easy for him to defeat me. I only have three days left to consider... God, who can come and save me? Preserve the glory of the Longjeviti family?"
"I'm thinking of that strange man again. Since the formation he gave me is effective, then the black egg he mentioned..."
"My love, I'm sorry... My dear son, I'm sorry... For the honor of my family, I must become stronger..."
Seeing this, Qi Ji silently put down the notebook in his hand.
You don’t even need to watch what happens next to know what’s going on.
The purpose of his trip was not to see how this beastly city lord gradually fell into depravity.
Looking around the room, I saw an even more tightly locked door on the side of the house, which was even locked with a thick iron chain.
Qi Jijing walked over quietly, looked at the huge iron chain, and grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand.
With a ding sound, the knife flashed by.
The huge iron chain broke and fell down, and was caught by Qi Ji silently without making any loud noise.
Then Qi Ji pushed the door open and entered.
Even though Qi Ji had already prepared himself mentally for the scene inside, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and the floor tiles under his feet quietly shattered into countless pieces.
Row after row of bodies, both adult and young, without limbs, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, or even sense organs, were suspended in the air. At a glance, one could see that there were more than a hundred of them.
"You're quite capable for finding this place." An old voice sounded.
Qi Ji turned around and looked at the door, where stood an old man with white hair and a kind smile.
Qi Ji was so excited just now that he didn't even notice the arrival of the city lord.
He remained silent, wearing a black full-coverage mask on his face, and looked at the Lord of Cologne quietly.
The next second, Qi Ji's figure suddenly disappeared, and he instantly appeared in front of the Lord of Cologne, and the single sword in his hand was unsheathed in an instant!
He no longer needed to negotiate with this person. What he had to do was to cut this scum of humanity into pieces with the fastest speed, the strongest force, and the most resolute determination.
He wants to become this guy's death god!
A magic sword!
