The person who just ran away into the distance turned out to be Sima Ji, who was seriously injured by him.
But what he was a little curious about was that the person Luo Tianshu wanted to kill was Zhou Tianyuan, but why did Sima Ji escape?
"Could it be that Sima Ji also betrayed the Marquis of Qingyi?"
Just when he was thinking this, Luo Tianshu's swaying figure disappeared instantly, and he actually chased after Sima Ji in the direction where he fled.
Looking at Luo Tianshu's disappearing back, Zhang Yifeng was thoughtful.
At this time, Duan Tianxie's voice suddenly came over.
"How can you let me go?"
When Zhang Yifeng heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and said: "I didn't expect that you are also afraid of death."
Duan Tianxie snorted coldly and said, "Who wants to die if you can live?"
Hearing Duan Tianxie's words, Zhang Yifeng was noncommittal. After pondering for a moment, he said, "As long as you kill her, I will let you go."
As he spoke, he pointed at Zhou Xiaoyu, who looked lost.
Duan Tianxie was stunned for a moment, stared at Zhang Yifeng closely, and said, "Is it that simple?"
Zhang Yifeng nodded and said: "That's right."
After receiving Zhang Yifeng's affirmative answer, Duan Tianxie's eyes showed a hint of anger.
He slowly walked towards Zhou Xiaoyu, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.
Zhou Xiaoyu came back to her senses and saw the murderous intent in Duan Tianxie's eyes, and her expression instantly became extremely frightened.
"Duan Tianxie, do you really want to kill me?" Zhou Xiaoyu asked with a look of disbelief.
Duan Tianxie smiled coldly: "If I don't kill you, I will die. If you don't care for yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth. Zhou Xiaoyu, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this. Just die!"
With that said, Duan Tianxie walked up to Zhou Xiaoyu, and with the other person's frightened expression, he chopped off Zhou Xiaoyu's head.
The relationship between him and Zhou Xiaoyu was just a casual marriage. Compared with his own life, killing Zhou Xiaoyu would not cause him any psychological burden.
At this time, a Nascent Soul floated out from Zhou Xiaoyu's headless corpse.
"Duan Tianxie, you are so cruel, I will never let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Hearing Zhou Xiaoyu's Nascent Soul scolding him, Duan Tianxie smiled coldly: "Really, then I will make you unable to become a ghost!"
After saying that, he instantly grabbed Zhou Xiaoyu's Nascent Soul, opened his mouth and swallowed the other person's Nascent Soul.
Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly when he saw this.
Although he had sensed the evil aura on Duan Tianxie before, and also knew that the other party practiced magic skills, he did not expect that he still underestimated the extent of Duan Tianxie's evil.
Swallowing someone else's Nascent Soul alive is something that even demon cultivators despise. But judging from Duan Tianxie's actions just now, it seems that he often does this. Not only did his expression not show any discomfort, but for a moment,
Zhang Yifeng saw a look of enjoyment in his eyes.
Hong Ling said with a look of disgust: "This guy is disgusting. Master, if you want to kill him, you'd better do it yourself. I'm afraid my hands will be dirty."
Zhang Yifeng was speechless for a while, but he agreed with Hong Ling's words. This Duan Tianxie was indeed disgusting.
"I have fulfilled your request. Can I leave now?" Duan Tianxie asked impatiently after killing Zhou Xiaoyu.
Zhang Yifeng nodded and said: "Of course, you can leave, but if I meet you again next time, it will be your death."
Duan Tianxie felt cold in his heart, looked deeply at Zhang Yifeng and Hong Ling, and then left without looking back.
After many years of experience with Zhang Yifeng, he had suffered a loss and he did not want to stay here any longer.
Zhang Yifeng and Hong Ling stayed there for a while, but did not wait for Luo Tianshu to come back.
Zhang Yifeng couldn't help feeling depressed. Apart from the Twenty-Third Prince, the other important reason why he came to Yong'an City was Luo Tianshu.
But although he saw Luo Tianshu, Luo Tianshu left without saying a few words, which left him speechless.
"Master, don't wait stupidly. Luo Tianshu must be afraid of me and he won't come back." Hong Ling said from the side.
Zhang Yifeng was unmoved. He finally discovered Luo Tianshu's traces, so naturally he couldn't give up so easily.
Seeing that Zhang Yifeng was unmoved, Hong Ling curled her lips and said, "I want you to wait here, I'm going to bed."
After saying that, she turned into a red light and returned to the demon-suppressing scroll.
Zhang Yifeng smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There were many people here just now, but now he was the only one left.
After a while, Luo Tianshu still didn't come back. Zhang Yifeng sighed and had no choice but to give up.
Returning to the city lord's mansion, Zhang Yifeng was stunned.
Because he saw a person who shouldn't be in the city lord's mansion. This person turned out to be Sima Ji who had escaped before!
When Sima Ji saw Zhang Yifeng coming back, he quickly ran to Zhang Yifeng with a pale face and knelt down with a plop.
"Sir Special Envoy, please spare Xiaolong's life. If you are willing, I am willing to exchange one life for another and use my life to save Xiaolong's life."
Zhang Yifeng frowned and said: "Who said I was going to kill Sima Long? Do I look like a person who likes killing?"
Sima Ji was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Zhang Yifeng said, he instantly beamed with joy.
"Thank you for not killing me, sir!"
Sima Ji kept kowtowing to Zhang Yifeng.
Seeing this, Zhang Yifeng said impatiently: "Okay, get up, I have something to ask you."
Sima Ji also felt Zhang Yifeng's displeasure, so he quickly got up from the ground and said with a flattering look: "Sir, if you have anything to do, just ask."
Zhang Yifeng nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Didn't you run away before? Why didn't Luo Tianshu kill you?"
He didn't believe that with Luo Tianshu's ability, he would not be able to catch up with Sima Ji, but now Sima Ji was standing here perfectly, which made him feel very confused.
Hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Sima Ji reacted instantly.
He smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, I was not directly involved in what happened back then, so the Marquis of Qingyi made a request to me, promising that as long as I fulfilled his request, he would not kill me."
"What request?" Zhang Yifeng asked with a frown.
He was a little curious in his heart, what kind of request would a figure like Luo Tianshu make to Sima Ji?
Sima Ji took a deep breath and said: "The Marquis of Qingyi wants me to build a new tomb for his wife Lu Xinyue."
Repair a tomb?
Zhang Yifeng understood instantly. It turned out that the Marquis of Qingyi did not kill Sima Ji because of his wife.
Even he couldn't help but feel moved at this moment, this Qing Yihou was really a seed of infatuation.
