A large number of Soul Devouring Ants drilled out of Gu Qinglian's body and were instantly annihilated by Xiao Chen's black fire. Not a single one could escape.
"Xiao Chen, are these Soul Devouring Ants?" Wu Hao asked in horror. If it was just a few, he really couldn't see them. Now that hundreds of them appeared all of a sudden, it was hard to not see them.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Yes, these are Soul Devouring Ants. They are very small, but in large numbers, you can see them. Everyone, don't worry. With my true fire to deal with them, the Soul Devouring Ants can't run away and can't invade your body."
"Why are there so many Soul Devouring Ants in Lian 'er's body?" Gu Yunfeng said in horror. He couldn't believe what would happen if the body was invaded by so many Soul Devouring Ants.
"Soul Devouring Ants can reproduce quickly. Miss Qinglian has been in the Soul Devouring Ants for a year. Of course, the number of Soul Devouring Ants produced is not small." Xiao Chen explained.
Elder Yuze on the side asked, "Brother Xiao Chen, can this Three Leaf Crimson Soul Grass force out all the Soul Devouring Ants in Lian 'er's body?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Of course it can. When I was in Death Mountain Range, I encountered giant Soul Devouring Ants. But just one Three Leaf Crimson Soul Grass was enough to make the giant Soul Devouring Ants not dare to take half a step forward. So the Soul Devouring Ants are very afraid of Three Leaf Crimson Soul Grass."
"What? Giant Soul Devouring Ants? How big are they? "Huo Yun asked in shock.
"So big for five people." Xiao Chen said with a faint smile. Although he looked like he was joking, they were indeed that big.
"What? So big for five people? " Wu Hao was so scared that his face turned pale. He said in disbelief, "Xiao Chen, you aren't joking, are you? How can there be such big Soul Devouring Ants? "
"So big for five people? This, this is impossible, right? "Elder Yuze said in horror. He also had a look of disbelief.
"I didn't lie to you. If I wasn't lucky enough to pick the Three Leaf Crimson Soul Grass, I wouldn't be able to come back." Xiao Chen said with a slight smile.
Gu Yunfeng said in shock, "The Broken Spirit Mountain Range is really scary. No wonder it's a forbidden area in the Ghost Realm. For so many years, no one dared to enter the Broken Spirit Mountain Range."
"It is precisely because of this that I find it strange. Where did the person who harmed Miss Qinglian obtain the Soul Devouring Ants? Could it be that ghosts have Soul Devouring Ants? "Xiao Chen said, this was something he had always been curious about.
Lu Zhong shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. There are as many experts as there are clouds in the Ghost City. All kinds of treasures will appear in the Ghost City. Three years ago, the corpse of a peak late stage Ghost Emperor appeared in the Ghost City."
"Second Elder is right. It's inevitable that this person is a Soul Devouring Ant bought from Ghost City." Elder Yuze nodded.
"Hey, the number of Soul Devouring Ants is decreasing." At this time, Wu Hao hurriedly said. The number of Soul Devouring Ants on Gu Qinglian's body had gradually decreased.
Gu Yunfeng smiled happily and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, will Lian 'er be saved if all the Soul Devouring Ants are forced out?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Not completely. Miss Qinglian's body has been invaded by the Soul Devouring Ants for more than a year. Her body is very weak and needs to be nursed back to health. I will refine some pills to help Miss Qinglian recover. It won't be long before she wakes up."
"That's great. Brother Xiao Chen, thank you so much." Elder Yuze smiled excitedly.
Half an hour later, after ensuring that all the Soul Devouring Ants were forced out, Xiao Chen retracted the black fire back into his body. Then, he spent another two hours refining some Qi nourishing and blood replenishing pills and handed them to Gu Yunfeng.
When Gu Yunfeng, Yuze, and Lu Zhong left, Xiao Chen asked Wu Hao to trap the person who was carrying the medicinal liquid. He was a key figure and couldn't be lost.
Several days passed. With Xiao Chen's help, Gu Qinglian's situation took a turn for the better. Gu Yunfeng was overjoyed. It had already been a year and there was finally hope for Gu Qinglian to wake up.
"Master, someone went to find Luo Chan." On this day, the little fox transmitted its voice.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile evilly and said, "Oh? This guy really can keep his composure. I've been back for a few days and he only made a move. Little fox, who is it? "
"It's Second Elder Lu Zhong! Master should have suspected him long ago! "The little fox transmitted its voice.
"It's really him! A few days ago, the guy who was carrying the medicinal liquid was Lu Zhong's follower. That's why I specifically asked Lu Zhong to test the medicinal liquid. At that time, his expression was very nervous. If he wasn't guilty, he wouldn't be so nervous. "Xiao Chen smiled evilly. Finally, he could confirm that the culprit was Lu Zhong!
The Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said, "I understand. Xiao Chen, you picked two herbs to lure Lu Zhong out."
"That's right! That's why I casually let a guard take them to boil the medicine. The Three-Leaf Scarlet Soul Grass can only be found in the Death Soul Mountain Range. Other places don't have it at all. If the medicinal liquid was tampered with, then Miss Qinglian's life would be in danger. Therefore, the person behind this definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity. Lu Zhong definitely didn't think that I would pick two. Let's go, find Wu Hao and Huo Yun to the main hall. "Xiao Chen smiled and quickly walked back to his room.
After that, Xiao Chen, Wu Hao, and Huo Yun rushed to the main hall without stopping. They even got a guard to call the City Lord and the Elders to gather at the main hall.
"Xiao Chen, did you find the culprit? Why are you in such a hurry to go to the main hall? " Wu Hao was puzzled. Xiao Chen didn't tell them and only told them to go to the main hall together. Huo Yun went to bring the person trapped by Wu Hao.
When everyone arrived at the main hall, Elder Yuze asked doubtfully, "Brother Xiao Chen, why did you call us here in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Yes, there is indeed something. I have found the culprit who harmed Qinglian Gu Nianzhi. The culprit is Second Elder Lu Zhong!"
"What? Lu Zhong! It's actually you! " Gu Yunfeng was stunned at first. Obviously, he didn't dare to believe it, but then a biting cold murderous aura suddenly filled the air.
"A bunch of nonsense! Xiao Chen, don't slander Old Man! "Lu Zhong angrily shouted.
"Brother Xiao Chen, this, this is impossible, right?" Yuze also didn't dare to believe it.
"City Lord, don't be angry. Great Elder, don't be anxious. Let me explain slowly." Xiao Chen slightly smiled. Looking at everyone, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "When I was going to the Death Soul Mountain Range, I was chased by someone. Moreover, they were already waiting for me on the road. This means that these people know that I am going to the Death Soul Mountain Range."
"They must be from the Corpse Soul City! Apart from the Corpse Soul City, no one else knows about Xiao Chen! "Wu Hao said.
"That's right! They are indeed from the Corpse Soul City. Moreover, there is another person who knows that I am going to the Death Soul Mountain Range, and that is the Luo Sha Palace Master. However, the Luo Sha Palace Master won't betray me. The Luo Sha Palace Master and the Corpse Soul City are far away from each other. Moreover, the Soul Devouring Ants were found from the Luo Sha Palace Master. "Xiao Chen slightly smiled.
"That makes sense." Elder Yuze nodded, then frowned and asked, "Brother Xiao Chen, what is the name of the person who killed you?"
"His name is Liang Yuan. I have already killed him. This person should be from the Corpse Soul City, right?" Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Elder Yuze.
Gu Yunfeng angrily said, "Liang Yuan is indeed from the Corpse Soul City. However, he was kicked out of the Corpse Soul City by the Old Man a few years ago. This person has evil intentions and is not a good person. Brother Xiao Chen, you killed him well."
"On my way back, I met people who were chasing me. Moreover, it was also within my expectations. I only know that one of them is called Luo Chan. I am not his opponent, so I deliberately led him to the Corpse Soul City. When he reached the Corpse Soul City, he gave up chasing me. However, one of my doppelgangers has been secretly watching him." Xiao Chen continued.
"Xiao Chen, this does not mean that it is my father's doing! Don't slander me! "Lu Changkong angrily shouted.
"Don't worry!" Xiao Chen glanced at Lu Changkong and smiled, "The Three Leaf Scarlet Soul Grass can only be found in the Death Soul Mountain Range. It is already very difficult to find one, so I dared to conclude that the real culprit must have tampered with the medicinal liquid. Unfortunately, he did not expect me to pick two herbs. As I guessed, the person who brewed the medicinal liquid was a guard, and the person who brought the medicinal liquid to Miss Qinglian's room was Elder Lu Zhong's follower. He did not know that another of my doppelgangers was secretly watching, so he put a drug in the medicinal liquid."
After a pause, Xiao Chen continued, "At that time, I began to suspect Elder Lu Zhong, but I was not sure. Therefore, before giving Miss Qinglian the drug, I deliberately asked Elder Lu Zhong to try it. However, Elder Lu Zhong looked nervous and did not dare to drink it. This made me even more suspicious. Of course, none of this has been proven."
"Go on!" Gu Yunfeng frowned and said angrily.
"A few days later, Miss Qinglian recovered well, and Elder Lu Zhong could not sit still for a few days. Finally, he went to discuss with Luo Chan. My doppelganger had been secretly monitoring Luo Chan. It was not until Elder Lu Zhong appeared that I was completely sure. When I asked the guards to inform everyone to come to the main hall, Elder Lu Zhong hurriedly returned to Corpse Spirit City. I don't think there is such a coincidence, right?" Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Lu Zhong. He saw the latter's eyes darting left and right. It was obvious that he was guilty.
Xiao Chen looked at Lu Zhong for a moment and said with a smile, "Elder Lu Zhong, your original purpose was to deal with the City Lord. Miss Qinglian accidentally drank the tea you prepared for the City Lord, so she was poisoned by the Soul Devouring Ants. This was what Luo Chan told me. He thought he could kill me, but he did not expect me to escape."
"Lu Zhong! How dare you plot to seize the City Lord's position from Old Man! "Gu Yunfeng angrily shouted. He did not doubt Xiao Chen's words.
"City Lord! Old Man absolutely did not do this! Xiao Chen is maliciously slandering me! "Lu Zhong quickly said, pretending to be innocent.
"Elder Lu Zhong, I have evidence." Xiao Chen smiled and then gave Huo Yun a meaningful glance. The latter immediately brought the person who was trapped by Wu Hao.
Seeing that person, Lu Zhong's expression suddenly changed. Xiao Chen said with an evil smile, "Elder Lu Zhong, don't you find it strange these days? Where did he go these days? He was the one who drugged the medicine, and there was a little medicine left on his body. What else do you have to say? "
The follower suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy in horror, "City Lord, this has nothing to do with me. It was the Second Elder who ordered me to do this. I beg City Lord to spare my life."
"Lu Zhong! It's really you! Old Man will kill you! "Gu Yunfeng angrily said, and a terrible power erupted.
