On the fifth day, Guo Fei and others were about to ask the guards guarding the inner city, Shang Xiu left the inner city and came to see Guo Fei and others.
Guo Fei and others were surprised when they saw Shang Xiu. Her eyes were red and swollen, describing her withering. She seemed to have lost a lot in a few days. It was obvious that she had encountered a huge problem. Although her expression tried her best to conceal her, her sad face was
It couldn't be concealed, even Liang Tie could see it.
"Miss Shangxiu, what happened?" Guo Fei and Leng Dao did not ask. As Shangxiu walked into the inner city, Liang Tie finally couldn't hold it in and asked softly.
"Hehe" Leng Dao couldn't hold back his divine thoughts and chuckled at Guo Fei. This was exactly the confusion of concern. Guo Fei smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Nothing happened." Shang Xiu looked around, cleared his throat as if he was profound, and said softly to Liang Tie.
Guo Fei and Leng Dao are not stupid, knowing that she is trying her best to hide her sadness and panic.
Under Shang Xiu's leadership, the three of them walked through the inner city street and headed towards a palace in the middle of the inner city. The inner city is the place where the city lord's mansion is worshipped, the inner guards of the city lord's mansion and the Shang family live. Although the city lord Shang Tianlong only has Shang Xiu, there is only one.
The daughter, but her wives and concubines, and several close relatives of the Shang family, also lived in the inner city and held important positions in the city.
There are many guards in the inner city, and teams are patrolling in an orderly manner. Guo Fei roughly checked and sensed that there were several people hiding on the top of the palace in the center of the inner city, probably observing the sky. Moreover, the palace was filled with mist.
The red light, obviously some of the talisman arrays have been opened, and there is no doubt that something big happened.
Under Shang Xiu's leadership, Guo Fei and the other two walked into the central palace through guards without any obstacles.
This palace is still built with fiery red stones. The stones are shining with streams of light and a warm energy, which looks extraordinary. It is quite different from the fiery red rocks in the inner city. Obviously, the materials used in this palace are more important than those in the inner city.
The city walls are much better.
"What material is this?" Guo Fei asked with interest.
"This is the volcanic rock produced inside the volcano. I don't know what it is. It is good for us monks who practice fire-attribute vitality." Shang Xiu seemed to be in a very bad mood, and after saying that, he walked forward quickly.
The three of them stopped asking. As Shang Xiu entered the interior of the palace, in a study room in the palace, Shang Xiu turned a book on the bookshelf. The bookshelf gently moved away, revealing a secret door. Shang Xiu turned the secret door.
There was a staircase behind it, and a stream of fire-like heat came from the inside, rushing straight to the faces of several people.
"Let's go, my father is waiting for you inside." Shang Xiu pointed to the stairs that exposed the secret passage.
"Miss Shang, should you explain clearly? What's going on?" Guo Fei did not enter immediately, but asked in a deep voice.
"I have no malicious intentions. My father's physical condition has a problem. I can't come out to see you. We can only go to see him. Believe me, I have no malicious intentions." Shang Xiu seemed to realize that he was also abrupt, and immediately explained in a deep voice.
.
"Okay. I believe you, lead the way." Guo Fei stared at Shang Xiu's eyes and said in a deep voice.
Shang Xiu didn't speak and walked down. The stairs were very long and kept passing downwards. And as the stairs extended, the heat wave became more and more intense. After about a thousand meters, he could faintly see the fiery red magma.
The lower part was boiling. Volcanic magma was actually drained from here, which was incredible.
After the magma was attracted, it was encircled in a fire lake below. There was a secret room next to the fire lake. Shang Xiu led Guo Fei and the other two into it.
At this time, the air here was already extremely hot, but with Guo Fei and the other two's cultivation, it was obviously not affected, but it was just a little uncomfortable.
There was only a huge jade bed carved from fire jade in the secret room, and an old man sat cross-legged on it.
Guo Fei and others went in and saw it, and were surprised. The person seemed to be dead, with thin body and skinny skin. Although his head was raised, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and he looked terminally ill.
"Dad" Shang Xiu shouted lightly, unable to help but burst into tears.
"Here you come." The man shouted tremblingly, and his eyes were opened slightly after working hard for a long time.
"This is your father." Guo Fei was quite surprised. Shang Xiu said that her father was a master who transformed into the Great Perfection Realm. He stepped into the state of momentum with half his foot, and even had some understanding of the state of momentum. He probably would be able to enter soon.
In the power realm, becoming a top master at the level of the Martial Emperor, I never thought that I would become like this.
Shang Xiu did not answer, and collapsed to the ground and sobbed quietly, as if the sky was about to collapse in an instant.
"Xiu'er has told me about your situation. I feel at ease if I can entrust Xiu'er to you before I die. Take Xiu'er away, Shangcheng will soon fall, so take good care of her." Shang Xiu's father seemed to have no
He had too much strength to speak, and said a few words to Guo Fei and others trembledly, then closed his eyes, as if he was just waiting to finish these words and fulfill his wish.
"Miss Shang Xiu, what's going on?" Guo Fei was shocked and asked Shang Xiu in surprise.
"When I came back, I found that my father was like this. He seemed to have been infected with a strange poison. The essence and blood in his body gradually decreased. He must have been assassinated. I guess it was the poison caused by my uncle, and only he has an insider in the city.
, can get close to my father. Once my father has an accident, we will be over in Shangcheng. My father claimed to the public that he was just delaying the time when he was in seclusion. I believe that the people in Moyun Village are also calculating the time. If my father still doesn't
If they go out to show up, they must have known that my father was poisoned and would come to attack." Shang Xiu said sadly.
"I'm poisoned. What poison is so powerful that it can torture a strong man with such a high level of cultivation into this way?" Guo Fei said in thought. He walked a few steps forward and looked at Shang Tianlong.
Originally, Guo Fei wanted to attract an ally through Shang Xiu. If Shangcheng was not protected, I was afraid that this ally would not be gone, but he would directly fight with Moyun Village and Heiyan City. This is not the result that Guo Fei wants to see at the moment.
After all, I have not yet gained a foothold.
"Don't get close to me." Shang Tianlong opened his eyes and looked at Guo Fei and said lightly.
"I have no malice, I just want to see what poison has been poisoned by my senior. It's so powerful," Guo Fei said with a smile.
"I know the poison in my body is not simple, I'm afraid of passing it to you." The old man forced himself to squeeze out a smile and said.
"Senior, I think I have some way to help you get rid of this poison, but I'm not sure. Are you willing to give it a try?" Guo Fei smiled faintly.
"Really" the old man's eyes suddenly opened, his body trembled, and he was so excited that he almost stood up.
"Mr. Guo, as long as you can help my father detoxify, I will listen to you in everything." Shang Xiu's eyes lit up and said in a deep voice to Guo Fei.
"As long as you keep your promise, we are a family, and I will do my best, but I am not sure. I don't know if you are willing to take risks?" Guo Fei said in a deep voice.
"Young man, as long as you achieve success, you can detoxify quickly. I won't support you for a long time," the old man said with a calm smile.
"You all go out and guard this secret room, don't let anyone come in and disturb me," Guo Fei shouted to Leng Dao and the other two.
