Zhao Lingxiao was stunned. After taking a deep breath, he said lightly, "Hehe, a child's words. Even though I am a child, I know that men have gold under their knees. Not to mention that this incident wasn't wrong, even if I was, I would definitely not kneel to Lei Family. I, Zhao Lingxiao, as a seven foot tall man, in this life, I will not kneel to the heavens, nor will I kneel to the earth. I only know how to kneel to my parents, what spring onion is his Lei Family! "

"As for you, Big Uncle, even though you have lived for so many years, you have lost even the dignity of a person. It seems to me that all these years have been in vain. If you dare to come tomorrow with Lei Family, I will deal with it. There's no need for you to worry. Wan-Er, let's go! "

With that, Zhao Lingxiao threw his sleeves and walked out of the hall. Lee Waner was startled, but quickly followed him.

"You — you — you bastard! How dare you speak to me like that?!"

Zhao Ruhai felt as if his chest was about to explode from the anger. As the vice Patriarch of Zhao Family, there had never been anyone who dared to speak to him like this. Today, not only did Zhao Lingxiao contradict him, at the end, he even ruthlessly mocked him, causing him to feel that he had lost all face.

Looking at Zhao Lingxiao's leaving background, Zhao Tianlong was stunned for a while and felt incredulous. Normally, whenever Zhao Ruhai criticized Zhao Lingxiao, Zhao Lingxiao would never dare to contradict him, so he could only listen attentively. However, Zhao Lingxiao's performance today was completely different from before. His words were reasonable and well-founded. With his last sentence, Zhao Tianlong's heartfelt words also came out.

Zhao Tianlong and Zhao Lingxiao shared the same opinion on their big brother. It was only because of Zhao Ruhai's face that he never spoke of it.

"This boy, could it be that he's grown up? He finally understands."

Zhao Tianlong thought to himself as a gratified smile appeared on his face. He didn't know how to react, but he felt that the Zhao Lingxiao of today was different from the usual Zhao Lingxiao. Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of spirit.

At this time, Zhao Ruhai turned around and angrily said, "Bro, you can't get used to Lingxiao anymore. You should discipline him strictly, or else he will go against the will of the heavens and lose respect for his elders."

Zhao Tianlong rolled his eyes at Zhao Ruhai and said lightly, "Big Brother, you are tired too. Plus, it's getting dark, so you should go back and have a good rest." As for the matter of Lei Family, let's discuss it tomorrow. "

"Ugh …"

Zhao Ruhai wanted to say a few more words, but he didn't expect Zhao Tianlong to say those words. He forcefully swallowed down the words that he was about to say. He sighed and left angrily.

When Zhao Ruhai left, Zhao Tianlong closed his eyes and could not help but shake his head. This was the first time he felt that his authority as the Patriarch was too low, even protecting his son was something that others would gossip about. In the entire Zhao Family, in terms of martial strength, he was the strongest existence, the 1-star of Frost Stage Martial Cultivator.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Family was able to withstand one wave of attacks from the Lei Family, not because Zhao Ruhai knew how to compromise, but because of his existence.

"Looks like it's time to clean up the Elders Guild."

He then walked out of the hall.

Not long after, the sky gradually darkened. North of the Qingye Town, at a place not too far from the center of the town, was the Wu Steel Manor. In the palace's meeting hall, a middle-aged man named Liu Jianyun, who wore a blue and white robe with a golden crown on his head, sat on the main seat. There was a look of worry on his face, and this person was Qingye Town, Town Lord!

Beside him was a scholar named Lian Caiyi who was wearing a green robe and a scholarly crown.

Liu Jianyun raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the hall. Then, he turned around and said, "Military Advisor, I called you over. It's really urgent, please forgive me."

"It's alright. I wonder if Town Lord called me over because of the matter with Demidevil today?"

Lian Caiyi replied lightly.

"The Military Advisor is indeed well-informed. That's right, I called you over to discuss the matter of the Demidevil with you. I believe you also know that ever since the black rain of blood fell 300 years ago and countless people were demonized, the Demidevil began to exist within the Genuine Martail Continent. After the Hundred Year War, a majority of the Demidevil s had already been eliminated, but there are still many that remain in this world. "

Liu Jianyun slowly said. His eyes showed a pondering expression.

"That's right, those remaining Demidevil s are almost hidden in the deep mountains and forests or even major ruins. However, there are also some brave Demidevil who would occasionally disguise themselves and sneak into the human world to hunt humans. "

Lian Caiyi said in a deep voice as his eyes slightly rotated.

Liu Jianyun nodded his head, "That's right, and because of the disappearance of the blood rain, in the future, if we want to create a new Demidevil, we will need the Demidevil that already exists to poison normal people, infecting them, and then through certain triggers, turning them into a new Demidevil."

"You want to say?"

"Gongsun Zhi, as the Gongsun Family's Eldest Young Master, was born into the Qingye Town since young, and could not possibly be a Demidevil that was left behind in the past. But today, he had turned into a Demidevil in front of the door of the Star Refining Guild. This means that he was infected by the devilish poison earlier, and was just unaware of it. "

"In that case, doesn't that mean that Gongsun Zhi could turn into a demon? It means that the Demidevil secretly poisoned him with the devilish poison."

"That's right, to be able to poison Gongsun Zhi with the devilish poison on his own accord, he didn't choose to consume him. This proves that the Demidevil has a normal intelligence, I am afraid his strength is not low. "

Lian Caiyi's eyes revealed a look of shock, and said in shock: "Oh no, based on what Town Lord said, our Qingye Town has probably been targeted by this Demidevil."

"That's right, that terrifying Demidevil is hiding inside the town. If not, if he only wanted to kill a few people, then Gongsun Zhi would not be able to escape death, and would not have the chance to turn into a Demidevil. However, the other party did not kill him. It was probably to achieve some sort of goal through Gongsun Zhi. Unfortunately, Gongsun Zhi lost the bet with Zhao Lingxiao and was directly turned into a Demidevil. "

Liu Jianyun nodded and said with a deep voice. His face looked nervous. Since his Qingye Town had been targeted by the Demidevil, he, as Town Lord, had to think of a way to get it out, or else there would be endless troubles in the future.

"Then, where does the Demidevil hide, Town Lord?"

Lian Caiyi asked softly.

"This is the question I want to ask the Military Advisor. After all, the Demidevil is camouflaged in his true form, and as long as he does not take the initiative to reveal himself, it would be hard for us to differentiate them."

Liu Jianyun glanced at Lian Caiyi and said.

Lian Caiyi stretched out his right hand and pulled at his chin, deep in thought. After a long while, he said: "From what I see, this Demidevil is most likely to be hiding his Gongsun Family. After all, Gongsun Zhi, as the Gongsun Family's Eldest Young Master, usually interacts the most with Gongsun Family's people. If you want to poison him with the devilish poison without anyone knowing, it's no easier than trying to poison him with Gongsun Family's people. "

"The advisor is really thinking the same thing as me. I also think that the problem might very well be within the Gongsun Family."

Liu Jianyun said with a smile.

"Then how does Town Lord plan to deal with Demidevil's matter?"

Lian Caiyi quickly asked.
