Chapter 29 Secrets
All the figures were stunned.
Li Mu's face instantly stiffened.
Qin Jiu seemed oblivious to anything amiss, remaining calm as he said, "If any of you have any information related to demons or monsters, feel free to speak up now."
He wasn't unaware of the strange looks he was receiving.
Qin Jiu came here for only two purposes: first, to see the dire situation of the fishing gang and what the Li family wanted to do by inviting him; and second, to hear whether these people really had any news related to demons.
Qin Jiu didn't care about anything else.
In fact.
If it weren't for these two things.
These so-called disciples of so-and-so, young masters and young ladies, are not even qualified to meet him.
The two sides are on different levels.
If the person in front of him were the head of the Li family, the owner of a martial arts school, or the leader of a gang, then he would treat him with respect. After all, Qin Jiu is the head of the Qin family, and his status and position are undeniable.
"Young Master Qin."
At this time.
Han Qingyue frowned and said, "This banquet was organized by Young Master Li. You should not sit in the main seat. Furthermore, even in terms of martial arts cultivation, Young Master Li is only twenty years old and has already reached the second level of cultivation, which surpasses us. If you continue to sit there, it will only appear too impolite."
She shook her head after she finished speaking.
Then he said no more.
"Martial artists value strength above all else. If you're trying to show off, you've come to the wrong place."
A mocking voice followed, saying, "A spoiled brat is a spoiled brat. He never knows what to do in what situation. If I were you, I wouldn't even leave the house at this time except to play with women."
The others heard this.
They couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.
At this moment, Qin Jiu looked very thin, with an unusual pallor lingering on his face, as if he had indulged in excessive sexual activity.
He glanced at the person who spoke.
That was the young leader of the Chai Gang whom Li Mu had introduced earlier.
The latter was sneering with a disdainful expression.
Qin Jiu remained expressionless, simply saying, "Huang Jing, slap yourself."
"Yes."
The two people who had been standing behind him the whole time.
Hearing the words, he immediately went over.
"How dare you!"
Seeing this, the man sneered, drew a long sword, and unleashed a powerful surge of qi and blood from his body, directly meeting the attack head-on.
"Your Qi and blood are so abundant."
"Brother Meng, you're probably about to break through to the second level of cultivation."
"Perhaps we've already fallen behind him..."
Those around them saw this.
They all started whispering and discussing it amongst themselves.
Even the inner disciple of the Canghai Martial Arts School couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the young gang leader with surprise.
However......
The young gang leader had his longsword taken away in a single exchange.
Then Qin Xudong pinned his hands and feet down, and Huang Jing raised his thick, calloused palms and then struck with both hands.
"Clap clap clap,"
A series of crisp slaps.
The continuous sound echoed throughout the hall.
This left everyone completely dumbfounded.
"Two second-level followers... This man is getting more and more arrogant."
A girl standing next to Han Qingyue.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but mutter something.
The young leader of the Chai Gang was unable to utter a single word until he fainted, at which point the two men carelessly tossed him to the ground.
"Qin's time is a bit tight."
At this time.
Qin Jiu spoke.
He didn't even glance at the young gang leader, but stared at Li Mu and said, "The reason I came here is because I heard from Brother Li that there is news about demons that I want to discuss, so I came to attend the banquet."
"If you delay any longer, I, Qin, will be leaving."
"However, if I don't hear satisfactory news, I will think you are making fun of the Qin family."
Upon hearing this, Li Mu...
His expression suddenly changed.
He had never expected Qin Jiu to be so assertive. Judging from his words, if he were to utter even the most trivial information, things would likely end badly.
"Master Qin, you flatter me."
Li Mu forced a smile, looked around at everyone, and said, "Now that everyone is here, I will start by offering my suggestion."
"Evil spirits and demons are born by chance."
"They usually live alone and feed on the blood and essence of living beings. Now that such evil spirits have gathered in the county town, there must be someone manipulating them behind the scenes."
"As for the purpose..."
"To be honest, my Li family's secret agents have been investigating for half a month, but have found nothing."
At this point, Li Mu's eyes flashed, and he added, "However, although my Li family has not been able to find out anything about the person behind the scenes, we have obtained a shocking secret: the county magistrate's attempt to lead men to eliminate the source of the chaos last night is bound to fail."
"Because that bureau was specifically set up for the county magistrate."
"Bureau?"
Everyone's expression changed.
Especially those whose family members have strong, elderly relatives who accompany them.
A look of anxiety appeared on his face.
"Could it be that your Li family has made a mistake?"
"Furthermore, if even you can find out this, wouldn't all the experts at the county government be incompetent?"
"That's the interesting part."
Li Mu's lips curled into a meaningful smile. His gaze lingered briefly on Qin Jiu before sweeping over the crowd. He said, "The county magistrate is aware of this, but he has no choice but to take his men out, and he can only take his men out."
"The demons besieged the county town but did not attack it."
"What do you all think is the reason for this?"
"This is to force the county magistrate to take action. In fact, according to the Li family's deductions, the reason why the demons outside the city have not yet made a move is because the two sides have not yet met head-on, or one side is unwilling to make a move. As for which side it is, everyone should be able to guess, right?"
"Because once the two sides clash head-on, the demons outside the city will surely riot instantly."
"They attacked the county town together."
As he spoke, his tone became extremely certain.
Han Qingyue frowned and asked, "Why are they making their move, while the demons are attacking the county town?"
Why?
Li Mu was taken aback, then shook his head with a half-smile, saying, "The magistrate's strength is unfathomable, and the people behind the demons are wary of him and will not act rashly. That's one reason. Secondly, the magistrate cares about the people and at least does not want the demons to wreak havoc in the county. Otherwise, he would not have risked his life to try to quell the demon calamity."
"Guess what would happen if the demons attacked the county town?"
"What will the county magistrate do?"
"Therefore, the Li family is certain that within a few days, the demons outside the city will launch an attack on the county town. And the day the demons rise up will also mean that the county magistrate and others will have to fight against the people behind the demons, and to fight... will mean certain death!"
Li Mu stopped there.
His expression became extremely serious.
"This is because this matter is not just a deduction made by my Li family, but rather a shocking secret that we obtained in Ning'an Prefecture."
"As early as a month ago."
"The prefectures and counties then began withdrawing their troops to the interior of the pass."
"Do you all know what this means? It means that the government has abandoned the land beyond the pass, abandoned this vast prefecture. As for whether it is because of demons or other reasons, the Li family has no way of knowing. But one thing is certain: the person behind the demons is waiting for the prefectural and county military officers who assisted the county magistrate to leave."
The last sentence.
This struck everyone like a thunderbolt.
Qin Jiu's expression also changed slightly.
Because he recalled the Wei army he overheard in the conversation between the county magistrate and Fu Hanchuan when he activated his Illumination Talent that day, and combined with the county magistrate's tough attitude yesterday, it was clear that the latter was in a great hurry at the time, otherwise he would not have hastily led his men out of the city that night.
