This child's heart was really big. Du Feng touched Feng Siyuan's head with his hand and just smiled without answering. He was determined to win the match with Warsky, so the bigger the bet, the better. However, betting was no longer his main source of income. At that time, it would depend on the betting amount of the audience to decide.
"Brother Du, will they plot against you again?"
Xiao Qianqian was just an ordinary girl and had never experienced this kind of thing. Yan Xuguang and Di Ming were both higher officials than her brother, so she still felt worried.
"Probably not. After all, Di Ming is not covering the sky with one hand."
Du Feng said this to reassure everyone. As long as he did not go to those uninhabited areas, he believed that they would not dare to openly make a move on the streets. After all, both of them had official positions, and he was also the dignified Huang Luosheng.
The reason why he was confident was that Du Feng felt that there was another person in the City Lord's Mansion just now, and that person was likely to be the City Lord himself. But for some reason, he announced that he was not there. If the City Lord was really there, then he should have seen the cause and effect of the matter clearly. Colluding with the Demonic Cultivator was not a small crime.
"Did you find that Demonic Cultivator?"
At this time, Di Ming called Yan Xuguang to a room alone and was secretly questioning him. For him, framing Du Feng was just a small matter. The most important thing was that the evidence of colluding with the Demonic Cultivator could not fall into the hands of others.
"It really has nothing to do with me. I just saw it and deliberately did not catch it."
Yan Xuguang was telling the truth. In fact, he really did not find that powerful Demonic Cultivator. As an official of the City Defense Force, colluding with the Demonic Cultivator was a crime punishable by beheading.
"You don't know anything, and you let him go?"
Di Ming believed that the Demonic Cultivator was not found by Yan Xuguang, but it did not seem to explain that he did not know anything. As a City Defense Force member, his instinctive reaction when he saw the Demonic Cultivator was to kill or catch it.
"You wastrel, you are causing trouble for me outside again."
At this time, Baldy Guo was quarreling with his wife because he already knew about the demon cultivator's attack on Du Feng. A while ago, Lady Guo's younger brother, Jia Kai, had lost his life because he went looking for Du Feng. Therefore, she had always wanted to take revenge. In the end, he couldn't hold back and hired a demon cultivator killer from the Western Continent's border.
In order not to let the city defense team ruin her plan, she even secretly informed Yan Xuguang. Yan Xuguang and Bald Guo were both at the Origin Returning Stage Cultivation Stage and had been good friends for many years. Yan Xuguang had long disliked Du Feng. That was why the scene today happened. Du Feng was ambushed by a Yao cultivator and no one came to save him. It wasn't easy for Captain Yan to arrive, but it turned out that he was here to denounce them.
"My brother died without a clear reason. You only know how to drink all day and don't even help. I …"
Mrs. Guo wanted to continue arguing, but Baldy Guo slapped her in the face.
"Hurry up and take your things and escape with me."
After Baldy Guo finished speaking, he started to put his valuables into his Qiankun bag. His wife seemed to have sobered up after being slapped. She hurriedly ran out of her bedroom where there were still many treasures.
"Brother Guo, where are you going? Why didn't you tell your brother?"
Baldy Guo finished putting his things and hurriedly urged his wife to hurry up. But Mrs. Guo was used to living like a princess, so it was inevitable that she would dawdle. Just as she was about to complain, she saw Yan Xuguang walking in from outside. Usually, the two of them had a good relationship, so the mansion didn't have any defenses against him.
"Brother Yan, can you let me live? You can do whatever you want to this woman."
Baldy Guo knew that he was a step too late. It was all that wastrel's fault for spoiling his plans. Actually, it wasn't a big deal to ambush Du Feng. Even if he killed Huang Luosheng, it wouldn't be proven. But once the matter of colluding with a Yao cultivator was exposed, he would definitely be silenced.
Baldy Guo was older than Yan Xuguang, so the two of them usually called each other brothers and had a good relationship. But today's situation was a bit special. If he didn't kill Yan Xuguang, Di Ming would kill Yan Xuguang.
At this time, Baldy Guo also knew that he couldn't protect his wife. Therefore, he begged Yan Xuguang to let him go. He would leave Stony Plain City and go far away, never to return.
"Brother, you're here. Quickly help me judge. Your Brother Guo is …"
Mrs. Guo came out with the things and happened to see Yan Xuguang. From the beginning to the end, she thought that Baldy Guo was afraid that Du Feng would report him. He didn't even consider that there was something wrong with Yan Xuguang.
"Sister-in-law, is it heavy to carry so many things? Let me help you."
Yan Xuguang walked over with a smile and reached out to take the things. Mrs. Guo was about to thank him when she suddenly felt a chill in her chest. She then looked at the thing in Yan Xuguang's hand. It was red and still dripping blood. She looked down at her chest and wondered why there was an extra hole.
"Gulp, gulp …"
Mrs. Guo's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that her good brother Yan would turn against her. She wanted to ask why, but the blood splashed into her windpipe. She couldn't speak at all. She could only make bubbling sounds.
Baldy Guo didn't want to save his wife. Instead, he took the opportunity to rush out. If they really fought, he was definitely not Yan Xuguang's opponent. He could only take this opportunity to run away. Yan Xuguang seemed to have miscalculated and didn't catch up in time.
The gate was in front of him. As long as he went out of the gate, he could lock the mansion and trap Yan Xuguang for 15 minutes. When he escaped from the gate, everything would be fine. With one foot out of the gate of the Guo Mansion, Baldy Guo was secretly happy. Suddenly, a big hand reached out and grabbed him by the neck.
"Di … Wuwu …"
Baldy Guo just uttered the word "Di" and couldn't continue. Di Ming had been waiting outside the Guo Mansion for a long time. He just grabbed Baldy Guo's neck with one hand and walked into the courtyard. He waved his hand and closed the gate. The outside was already surrounded by the city guards. No one would break in.
He wasn't in a hurry to kill Baldy Guo. Instead, he let him remove the taboo on the Qiankun Pouch in a half-dead state. After taking all the treasures for himself, he destroyed Baldy Guo's body, not even letting his soul go. Only by destroying his soul would he not be caught and searched by others.
"The people of the Guo Mansion colluded with demon cultivators. They have all been executed."
At this time, Yan Xuguang had already killed everyone in the Guo Mansion, including the maids and chefs who didn't know anything. In fact, when Baldy Guo and his wife planned to run away, they didn't plan to let the servants know. Regardless of whether they knew or not, they were still unlucky.
"Very good, retreat!"
