The villain's daily corpse collection

Chapter 159 Searching for Clues

Although Chihou City is located underground, it is basically the same as cities on the ground.

There are pavilions and towers everywhere. The government office is located on a relatively busy street in the city, and there is a magnificent city lord's mansion in the center. The imposing door lintel, the endless high walls, and the two stone carvings of loyal Xiezhi sitting on both sides of the gate are enough to show that this place is the "palace" of the local emperor.

After walking around the city several times and visiting all the streets and alleys, he still couldn't find the key. This was within Wang Wei's expectations. Although the key was a divine weapon, its aura had long been concealed by the conspirator.

Fortunately, the box and the key are symbiotic artifacts - as long as you have one, the other will not be too difficult to find. Otherwise, in the vast sand city, looking for a key is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Wang Wei held the box all the way, just to reach her destination as quickly as possible. Huo Feng followed her, thinking quickly, finding the right time to ask questions. Wang Wei suspected that she didn't find the key because she was distracted by the questions.

"Master, I suddenly remembered something from the past. It seems that there is a rumor that there is some past grudge between the Devil God and the Heavenly Lord. Then, have you and the Heavenly Lord... ever been involved in this grudge?"

If the previous questions were mild probing, they were nothing more than probing into the corners of her past life, and there were some innocuous questions - for example, the details of her childhood experiences outside, the difficulties she had encountered in her cultivation, or asking what Jun Zhao would do with her when she was a young master...

At this moment, he had touched the edge of the secret door.

Wang Wei was using the box to connect to her spiritual power. She wanted to respond to Huo Feng casually like she did a few days ago, but when she heard this question, she paused slightly.

"Hasn't I mentioned my relationship with the demon god long ago? There's no need to distinguish her grudges from mine."

"But why must Master be entangled in their grievances?" Huo Feng seemed puzzled. "You and Tianzun separated, is it because of the demon god?"

Wang Wei chuckled. "What does it have to do with the Demon God? The Demon God and the Heavenly Lord have different positions, so it's normal for them to be enemies. And I have already broken off with the Heavenly Lord, so there is no such thing as being caught in the middle."

Huo Feng nodded: "After this journey, will Master return to the Demon God's service?"

"Of course, everything will be in its proper place." Wang Weiwei understood his subtext, "But I didn't say that we should each go our own way."

With Huo Feng's strength, he should not be able to break into her hall, so she can naturally switch identities at will to meet him.

"Master, you never thought of abandoning me, thank you." These words touched Huo Feng's heart. His eyes flickered and he looked at Wang Wei with a smile.

She raised her hand and poked Huo Feng's cheek, and smiled softly in response, "My last disciple is not here, so I am incomplete as a master."

It was indeed a flawless excuse, but it still shocked Wang Wei.

Why did Huo Feng suddenly mention this matter? What was the reason? She always ignored the fact that he might have known the truth, because he was really unknown in the heavens in the past, and Huo Feng himself was not very familiar with others and did not care about the chaotic news... But today's question showed that he obviously knew something.

Behind the bright smile is Wang Wei's deep worry.

When they were tired from walking, they went to a roadside teahouse to sit down and have a cup of tea.

The water source here comes from an underground river. The underground river is deep and long, and no one knows where it comes from or where it goes back to. But it doesn't matter. It stretches across the Red Queen and is the "mother river" here. Everyone can survive here because of this source.

The river water is sweet, and when soaked with leaves of some unknown plant, it becomes the most famous local tea - Akagizui.

This tea tastes as strong as wine, and the aromatic broken leaves are stirred and rolled into the water, filling the air with fragrance.

"Master, have you ever thought about living in the Heavenly Palace for a while? If the relationship between the Heavenly Palace and the Water Tribe... that is, between the Heavenly Lord and the Demon God can be eased, Master will not have to be confined to the Eighth Heaven." Huo Feng took a sip of tea.

"I haven't thought about it." Wang Wei shook his head, "Haven't you been to Chenzhongtian before? You don't like it there."

Huo Feng added tea and immediately replied, "Of course I like it! Chenzhongtian has a clear blue sky and is elegant and elegant. It is a new world created by floating water elements. It is quite different from the other heavens. Chonghua Divine Master took me there before. It is truly a place of great wealth..."

"Alright, alright!" Wang Wei curled his lips, "No need to think of words anymore, just let everything take its course, and we'll talk about it later."

"Master, you can go to the Fourth Heaven with me. My previous residence is there. Then..."

"Chen Zhongtian is naturally very beautiful. I have invited you to the Divine Feather Banquet for so many years, but I have never seen you show up. Are you planning to go when Lord Xiao Huo invites you?"

A voice came from behind, interrupting Huo Feng's words. The voice was extremely familiar, with a rising tone and a bit of... a sense of wanting a beating.

Jun Zhao caught up with him, and after wandering around the city for a few days, they finally met in this quiet teahouse.

Wang Wei: “…”

What a dog-skin plaster, she cursed silently in her heart.

Huo Feng frowned slightly. Although Jun Zhao had once been his immediate superior, there was no such relationship in this life. He had not returned to the throne of god, and Tianzun was no longer Tianzun.

Therefore, Huo Feng did not intend to admit that identity.

Jun Zhao was about to sit on the other side of Wang Wei as if no one was around, but Wang Wei kicked the stool over. The teahouse owner wanted to come and see what was going on, but after seeing the tense atmosphere between the three men and one woman, he stepped back.

Jun Zhao raised the bench in a good-tempered manner. Wang Wei was about to be blocked by the spiritual power again. Bai Tang helped him from behind. Wang Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Tang. Bai Tang's eyes were erratic and he didn't dare to look back. Wang Wei picked up the teacup and threw it over. Jun Zhao stepped forward to block it with his sleeves. Huo Feng immediately caught the teacup with his spiritual power before it fell.

For a moment, at the table in Fangcun Teahouse, the four people from both sides stared at each other, neither of them giving in.

"Hey! I have something serious to say. We found the clue to the key, don't you want to know?" Jun Zhao stared at Wang Wei.

Wang Wei withdrew her resistance, slowly closed her eyes and then opened them again. She sneered with a hint of sigh: "Are you trying to use this to control me?"

Huo Feng wanted to stand up, but Wang Wei grabbed his hand and pressed it down. Jun Zhao could see the two people's secret movements, but he just glanced at them indifferently.

"At least let's sit down first and buy us a cup of tea." Jun Zhao moved his body before he finished speaking and sat back in his original position. Bai Tang sat down quietly.

On the other side, Wang Wei was indeed worried about the whereabouts of the key. She picked up the teapot and prepared to pour tea for Jun Zhao and the others, but another warm hand covered the back of her hand.

It’s Huo Feng.

"Let me do it, you guys chat." Huo Feng stood up and took over the job.

"Go ahead." Wang Wei was not vague.

Jun Zhao sighed slowly: "The key should be in the City Lord's Mansion."
