In the dead of the night, in the room of the inn.
When city lord Qin Hao said the last sentence, his voice stopped abruptly. The entire room became so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle falling.
Qin Hao’s expression changed as he looked at Su Yi. This was related to a gamble of Qinyang City.
The demon beast horde was getting stronger and stronger. It might develop into a beast tide in the future.
The subordinate who was sent to the Central Plains to ask for help had long lost contact. He was probably already dead.
As the city lord, he could not leave Qinyang City as he wished. The current chaotic Qinyang City needed a stable backbone to guard it.
If he, Qin Hao, left at this time, it would make people even more suspicious. At the moment, Qin Hao could only find one person, someone he could trust, to help him complete this mission.
The most suitable person was the powerful Su Yi.
Suddenly, Qin Hao seemed to have thought of something. He stood up from his chair and bowed to Su Yi.
He frowned, thinking that the city lord Qin Hao was going to carry out a moral kidnapping. If that was really the case, he would definitely not help this city lord.
However, who knew that city lord Qin Hao was not asking for help, but something else.
“Little friend Su, I believe that the soldiers at the east gate were saved by you!”
Hearing this, Su Yi did not have any intention to hide, he only nodded lightly and said.
“It was me, what’s wrong?”
Who knew that city lord Qin Hao bowed even lower, only to hear him say excitedly.
“On behalf of all the residents of Qinyang City, I would like to express my gratitude to you. If you had not taken care of those demon beasts, not only would my soldiers have been sacrificed, even Qinyang City would have been destroyed by those invading demon beasts. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude.”
Seeing Qin Hao in such a manner, he did not stop him. He did not expect that a city lord would actually be able to bow for his subordinates to such an extent.
This was something that other city lords would never be able to do.
He squinted his eyes and then said indifferently, “tell me, what kind of help do you want me to help you with and what is the reward?”
He sat on the chair and crossed his legs, waiting for Qin Hao’s reply.
Qin Hao was also a smart man. He knew what kind of answer Su Yi needed now.
Qin Hao directly said, “little friend Su, as long as you are willing to help, this time, I am willing to pay 10 million.”
As he said this, Qin Hao was even prepared to pass the money to Su Yi through the immortal destiny seal.
Su Yi just stared at him. 10 million was just a lot for him. At that time, his assets would be close to 30 million.
In the future, if he encountered any good seeds, he would be able to squander them.
However, no matter what, he had to first listen to what kind of mission the other party was talking about.
Hence, he continued to ask, “city lord Qin Hao, I appreciate your sincerity. However, I want to know what the mission is. I will consider whether to do it or not.”
Hearing this, Qin Hao’s face was filled with joy. He told Su Yi about the situation of the mission.
However, when Su Yi heard it, he had a strange expression. This mission had exceeded his expectations.
Of course, it was not the difficult kind, but the unexpectedly simple one.
It was just sending a distress letter to the city lord of the Central Plains City. He only needed a few days to receive 10 million, so why not?
Moreover, he had to return to the Central Plains City in the end. This Qinyang City was too small, and it was not his stage at all.
After understanding the mission content, he readily agreed.
City lord Qin Hao took out a letter from his own immortal destiny seal space. It seemed that he had come prepared. At the same time, he traded 10 million to Su Yi.
This caused him to feel a wave of surprise as he said indifferently, “city lord Qin, aren’t you afraid that I won’t do anything after taking the money?”
Who knew that the city Lord would open his mouth wide and say this with a big smile.
“I believe in young friend Su’s character. Since young friend Su has returned to Central Plains, there is no need for you to come to my Qinyang City, right? This way, it will save you the trouble of running back and forth.”
Hearing this, he only smiled and then put away the envelope.
…
The next day, the sky had just brightened. Just as the multicolored light from the east was about to spread across the land, Su Yi, who was dressed in white, had already set foot on the road back to Central Plains City.
His speed was very fast. In almost half a day’s time, he had arrived at the Forest of Fireflies. From time to time, one could see qi condensation realm demon beasts that suddenly appeared from this place.
Just like what Qin Hao had said, each and every one of them had fled from their own territory and ran out of the Forest of Fireflies. This made Su Yi even more certain that something uncontrollable must have happened within the Demon Subduing Mountain.
The scene around him was rapidly moving backwards, and he was also rapidly moving towards the Demon Subduing Mountain.
Another half a day passed. When the sky was getting dark, he had already arrived at the foot of the Demon Subduing Mountain range.
Just as he was about to ascend the Demon Subduing Mountain range, a cloud of white smoke appeared, and Little Xie appeared.
Her small figure faced the endless Demon Subduing Mountain range and her pair of intelligent eyes fluttered.
She stared blankly at the Demon Subduing Mountain range while Su Yi noticed her unusual low voice and asked, “what is it, Little Xie? Did you discover something?”
Little Xie slowly shook her head and replied, “I don’t know. I can feel that I hate this mountain range. Moreover, it is very uncomfortable.”
Her small brows furrowed, as if she was really uncomfortable.
Seeing this, he also took out the Dragon Blood Spirit-breaking Blade and said lightly, “if it’s uncomfortable, then you can return here. It won’t be too long after passing through this mountain range. Two days, no, one day will be enough.”
The true essence in his body fluctuated, as if his true essence would never be exhausted.
Little Xie looked at Su Yi’s face, her small mouth revealed a smile, and lightly nodded in response. “Okay.”
In Su Yi’s eyes, Little Xie once again turned into white smoke and returned to the dagger.
After returning the dagger to the seal space, his eyes looked at the dDemon Subduing Mountain range and immediately focused.
With a movement of his feet, the ground immediately caved in. Su Yi’s body shot out like a bullet.
His speed was so fast that one could even hear the sound of him breaking through the air.
If there were outsiders around, they would definitely cry out in surprise. was this still a speed that a foundation establishment cultivator could achieve?
Several hours passed by. At this time, he had already entered deep into the Demon Subduing Mountain range.
At this time, the Demon Subduing Mountain range was extremely terrifying. Even the roars of demon beasts became fewer and fewer.
From time to time, bats would flash by during the night. It was extremely terrifying like the silent mountain range.
However, Su Yi did not care about this at this moment. His white clothes seemed out of place in the dark night, and could be said to be very eye-catching.
He, who was moving quickly, suddenly heard it. It was only because there were more than ten pairs of red lights appearing in his eyes.
Those were the huge ferocious eyes of demon beasts.
His eyes focused slightly and immediately saw the information of the demon beasts. Immediately, his frown deepened.
