For safety reasons, Wang Mou and a few others followed Sima Youyue and the others. The others stayed in the inn to wait for further news.
From the evening onwards, the wind had been blowing in Blood Fiend City. When Sima Youyue and the rest arrived at the City Lord Residence, the wind was so strong that they couldn't open their eyes.
"Everyone, the City Lord has been waiting for a long time." The steward of the City Lord's Manor stood at the entrance with a group of people, watching the last ray of the setting sun fall into the sea of clouds as he said with a smile.
"The City Lord is waiting for us?"
"Yes." The butler said, "The City Lord said that you would definitely come today, so he asked me to wait here. He said that he would treat you to a cup of tea when you arrived."
It seemed that the City Lord also knew something.
"Are we going in?" Hu Yang asked.
"Yes, the City Lord is already waiting for us to drink tea, how can we not go?" Sima Youyue said, "I think the City Lord will have something to say to us when we drink tea."
"Please." The butler gestured for them to enter. Sima Youyue led them in.
One of the men behind him stayed behind and said to the guards, "You don't have to guard the door today. Go and do your work."
The housekeeper brought them to the courtyard where they drank tea last time. This was Youyue's third time here, but every time she came, it gave her a different feeling.
"Young Master Si Yue, we meet again." Li Zhi, who was dressed in black, sat under a tree and gestured towards Sima Youyue.
There were a few cups of tea on the table, which was exactly the number of people present. In front of him was a glowing goblet filled with bright red blood.
Sima Youyue walked over and sat down. She picked up the teacup in front of her but did not drink it. She looked at the tea leaves and smiled. "We haven't met yet, right? City Lord Li Zhi. "
"Hehe, didn't we just meet last night?" Li Zhi's bright eyes looked at her, and the words he said shocked her.
"Did you see him last night?" she asked calmly.
"Hehe, weren't you almost injured by the leaves of my little tree last night?" Li Zhi smiled evilly and said, "You don't have to be surprised. Any movement in Blood Fiend City would not escape Little Tree's detection."
"You didn't stop it." Sima Youyue said.
"Why should I stop it?" Li Zhi smiled. "To stop Li Hong from giving you hints on his own, or to stop you from discovering those things underground?"
"As expected, you know everything!" Little Seven glared at him.
"Yes, I know." Li Zhi turned his gaze to Little Seven. "Although I don't know what you are, Little Uncle said that if he ate you, he would be able to evolve completely. He wouldn't have to worry about being punished by the Heavenly Dao, and he wouldn't have to carefully eat and drink human blood every day! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have to wait here for many years! "
"Are you sure that even if we find out something, we won't be a hindrance to your plan?" Sima Youyue pulled Little Seven and asked.
"Isn't that so?" Li Zhi smiled and said, "I know that the few of you are very powerful, but this is of no use in Blood Fiend City. This is Little Tree's world, my world! No matter how high your martial arts are, you won't be able to escape from Little Tree's inescapable net! Moreover, don't you think that it's more fun to look at some clowns who think that they have found the truth? Only Li Hong that blind man would be so foolish to think that someone would be able to stop me! "
"Clowns?" Sima Youyue wasn't angry. "Then are you willing to clear the doubts of these clowns before things happen?"
"Some people just like to know the so-called truth before they die. Isn't this called dying in peace? "Li Zhi shook the goblet in his hand." While Little Tree hasn't gone crazy yet, ask. "
"You have two souls in one body?" Sima Youyue asked.
"Yes. I have a useless brother who wants to pretend to be a good person. "Li Zhi said.
"He's blind, you're not. This is very strange. "
"What's so strange about this." Li Zhi said. "He can't see, not because there's a problem with his body, but because his soul energy is too weak. And I, am incomparably powerful! "
"Incomparably powerful?" Sima Youyue's lips curled into a mocking smile. "You're powerful because of this magic tree, right?"
"Little Tree's ability is more powerful than you think!" Li Zhi said. "I am it, and it is me."
"Because of the poisonous gas it releases, the people in the city can't cultivate, right?" Sima Youyue said.
"You're indeed smarter than those people. It's been a thousand years, and no one has ever thought of this. Or rather, those who thought of this are already dead." Li Zhi said. "But there's no one like you who can discover this problem in just two days."
"Not only that, you're also using these people's flesh and blood to nourish this magic tree." Sima Youyue said. "The night of the crimson moon is the night of the magic tree's killing."
"That's right." Li Zhi didn't deny and answered casually.
"What right do you have to do this?!" Hu Yang angrily rebuked.
"Qualifications?" Li Zhi laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. "Are you talking to me about right?"
"That's right!"
"Then I'll tell you what right do I have!" The wind around Li Zhi gradually grew stronger and rolled up many leaves, causing pain on people's bodies.
He used the wind to fly up and when he was in the air, he looked down at everyone and laughed loudly. "Just based on the fact that we've provided you with a safe place to live. Without Blood Fiend City, you bunch of people would still be hiding here and there and would never be a day of peace! If you want to live a stable life, then use your flesh and blood to exchange for it! Hahaha ….. "
"Your original intention is to provide people with a stable life?"
Sima Youyue also stood up and with a wave of her hand, the goblet that was filled with human blood flew out. The blood spilled out in the air and finally dripped onto the ground.
She looked at Li Zhi who was flying in mid-air and said, "Your original intention isn't to provide everyone with a safe place. You're only rearing them and letting them become the magic tree's nourishment, to provide it with a large amount of blood. As for you, the reason why you've chosen this kind of method is only because you don't dare to create too big of a commotion, afraid that you'll attract the punishment of heaven. What I've said isn't wrong. "
"Hehe, even if what you've said is true, so what?" Li Zhi's long hair fluttered with the wind. "No matter what my motive is, they've finally found the life they want here, haven't they? I've provided them with a peaceful life and they've provided me with flesh and blood. This is a very fair trade! "
"No! This isn't fair. " Sima Youyue also flew up and came to the same height as Li Zhi. "They don't know and can't cultivate. Unknowingly, they've even become the magic tree's food!"
"You must have never been pursued by anyone before so you wouldn't understand what kind of desire a stable life is to these people." Li Zhi said, "Speaking of this, they can still continue to live such a peaceful life. But you, are the one who broke their lives and pushed them towards death!"
