37Chapter 37 A glimmer of hope

The Lord of Qingfeng City was indeed shocked. An innate eighth-level strongman died just like that. Even under the command of Yangling Marquis, there were probably not many such people.

"The one who attacked Kelaixuan was this old Mo, and Sect Master Qin was able to kill Old Mo in a short time, and then came to the City Lord's Mansion to kill the second son without anyone noticing. Although there is no evidence that he killed the second son, it is obvious that Sect Master Qin is such a smart person, he would not be unaware of it." The housekeeper said slowly.

"You mean Sect Master Qin has his own support, so he dared to kill the second son." The Lord of Qingfeng City was not stupid, and he understood what the housekeeper wanted to say.

"That's right. Once Yangling Marquis arrives, no one knows what Yangling Marquis will do in the grief of losing his son. While Yangling Marquis' army has not arrived yet, the Lord of the City might as well visit Sect Master Qin first, maybe there is a glimmer of hope."

The eyes of the Lord of Qingfeng City lit up, as if he really saw a glimmer of hope.

The sudden rise of Qingfeng Sect was full of mystery. It was said that Qin Ye had obtained some treasure. That day, Qin Ye also said in public that he had obtained some elixirs, but the Lord of Qingfeng City always felt that Qin Ye's adventure was not that simple.

Qin Ye's breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm had already surprised him, but now someone in Qingfeng Sect could kill a Xiantian Eighth Layer Realm expert. What does this mean? It means that there must be a strong person behind Qingfeng Sect.

The Lord of Qingfeng City did not think that the person who killed the Xiantian Eighth Layer Realm was Qin Ye, but that there must be a stronger person behind Qin Ye.

So, the Lord of Qingfeng City secretly took the housekeeper and two guards to leave Qingfeng City and headed straight for Qingfeng Sect.

The housekeeper had been here last time, so they soon came to the outside of Qingfeng Mountain.

"Where is Qingfeng Mountain?" The Lord of Qingfeng City looked at the white fog in front of him, stared at it with wide eyes, but still couldn't see what was going on inside.

The housekeeper was also stunned. It was not like this last time. The road should not be wrong, but I don't know why there was white fog in Qingfeng Mountain.

"City Lord, there must be Qingfeng Mountain ahead, but there was no white fog when we came here last time." The housekeeper said very confidently.

"The housekeeper is right, there was indeed no white fog when we came here last time." One of the guards brought this time had come with the housekeeper last time, and he immediately testified to the housekeeper.

Qingfeng City Lord looked at it for a long time, and a flash of inspiration came to him, and he said in surprise: "This must be a formation. What kind of formation can hide the entire Qingfeng Mountain."

He was more certain that there was a master in the Qingfeng Sect.

"Let's go in."

After the four people went in, they walked a long way and saw Qingfeng Mountain as expected. But when they walked inside, they circled back again.

They walked in another direction and returned to the original starting point.

"This is a defensive formation. If we can't break the formation, we can't get in at all. I'm afraid that even the eighth-grade sects don't have such strength to support such a large formation." The Qingfeng City Lord exclaimed. M..

"City Lord, how do we get in then?" The housekeeper was sweating anxiously, and they didn't have much time.

The Lord of Qingfeng City waved his hand, "It's okay! We just entered the formation, and the person who controls this formation must have known it."

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly towards Qingfeng Mountain: "The Lord of Qingfeng City comes to pay his respects to Master Qin!"

"The Lord of Qingfeng City comes to pay his respects to Master Qin!"

The Lord of Qingfeng City shouted twice in a row. As soon as the voice fell, the white fog in front of him dissipated in an instant, and Qingfeng Mountain appeared in front of the four people.

"Let's go up the mountain."

The Lord of Qingfeng City waved his hand and took the lead.

As the Lord of Qingfeng City said, Qin Ye knew as soon as they entered the formation. He was a little curious about what the Lord of Qingfeng City came here for at this time. After all, he only brought these few people, and it was definitely not to capture him, so he was a little hesitant about whether to let them in.

When Qin Ye heard the Lord of Qingfeng City's call, he decided to let them in. Coming here at this time might be related to Yangling Hou.

He knew nothing about what was happening outside, so it was just right to let the Lord of Qingfeng City in, and perhaps he could get some information from him.

They soon arrived at the gate of Qingfeng Sect. When they saw the dilapidated mountain gate, the Lord of Qingfeng City was speechless.

Last time, the housekeeper came back and told him about this matter, and suggested that he could send some craftsmen to help repair the mountain gate of Qingfeng Sect. At that time, he took it to heart, but later the second son was killed. He was so busy that he didn't think about it, and the housekeeper naturally wouldn't mention it again.

When they walked in, they saw a middle-aged man sweeping the ground meticulously with a broom in his hand. Even if the ground was very clean, he still swept it very seriously.

The housekeeper whispered in the ear of the city lord, and the city lord couldn't help but look at him seriously for a few times. He was shocked in his heart. This person turned out to be a strong man in the innate realm.

"Senior——" The Lord of Qingfeng City immediately stepped forward to greet him. He thought that this blood-killing helmsman was the younger generation or disciple of the strong man in Qingfeng Sect. Anyway, he was a strong man in the innate realm, and he would never go wrong to greet him.

"Lord of Qingfeng City——" The Blood Killing Helmsman looked up at the Lord of Qingfeng City and recognized his identity, then lowered his head and continued to sweep his floor.

A small city lord like Qingfeng City was not worthy of his attention. The reason why he knew him was that he saw him and remembered him when he came to Qingfeng City this time.

"Bring them to the hall to see me!" Qin Ye's voice at this time reached the ears of the Blood Killing Helmsman.

"Yes, Sect Master." The Blood Killing Helmsman saluted in the direction of the hall.

Since the appearance of the Gongfa Building, several people in Qingfeng Sect believed that this was not something that could be done by human power, and that there might be a powerful person behind Qingfeng Sect, which gradually changed their mentality.

In fact, after the Gongfa Building appeared, he tried to enter the Gongfa Building to take a look, but he was bounced back as soon as he stepped over.

He was not the only one, and others tried but could not get in either.

However, they clearly saw Wu Xuan'er go in, and in the end it was the Tenth Elder who said that this was a ban, and only with consent could they enter.

They guessed together that there must be advanced Gongfa in this Gongfa Building, otherwise it would be impossible to have a ban to protect it.

The Blood Killing Helmsman was still young, and he didn't want to sweep the floor here for the rest of his life. Even if he went out now, he would most likely be killed by Blood Killing as a traitor. Now he was the safest in Qingfeng Sect.

When the Lord of Qingfeng City saw that this Xiantian Realm powerhouse was so respectful to Qin Ye, he raised Qin Ye's status again in his heart. Perhaps Qin Ye was the disciple of that powerhouse, and only in this way could everything be explained.

The Blood Killing Captain brought the Qingfeng City Lord and four others to the sect hall, only to see Qin Ye sitting high on the sect master's seat waiting for them.

"Sect Master, the people are here." The Blood Killing Captain saluted respectfully.

Seeing that the Blood Killing Captain was so respectful to Qin Ye, the Qingfeng City Lord also saluted and said, "The Qingfeng City Lord greets the Sect Master Qin."

After all, his status is different now. The Qingfeng Sect has so many powerful people, and their status is far higher than his. Moreover, he came here to seek shelter this time, so naturally he has to be more humble.
